Many Receive Indirect Benefits From State Road Projects Under  Way  in
County
The Clare County Unemployment
Committee wish again to call to the
attention of the people of Clare
County just how much good these
State Projects are doing, not only to
the people individually in the county
but the merchants as well.
The New Year has started out
with the weather favorable for the
continuance of the work and it has
been possible for the Committee tq
distribute the labor requirements of
these jobs over the entire county and
in amounts that have been a real aid
to those directly benefited as well as
to the general business conditions of
the County.
The Bridge which is building just
north of the City of Clare has been
a real help to those who live in that
immediate vicinity. A check-up
with the foreman on the job shows
that they have employed on the 'job
since its start over 55 different men
and that with the possible exception
Of some ten or so these have all
been drawn directly from the City of
Clare. The pay roll check-up of that
job shows that these men have been
paid b total of $1068.45. This in itself is a° great help to the community for practically all of this money
stays right here and is spent for the
various things of life that are necessary. Coupled with this is the overhead pay-roll of the job also. The
foreman as well as his regular men
are all living in the City and spending' practically all of their pay hera
and we find that their pay-roll has

was held at the home of Mrs. S. A.
Bogardus on Bast Fifth street. The
meeting was in charge of Mrs. J. E.
Lockyer who had secured the presence of Miss Doris Bittler, of Mt.
Pleasant, to give the address. Miss
Bittler is a student at Central State/
Teachers Colfege and fs interested in

and brought echoes from that great
conclave. The address covered the
current missionary problems and
outlook in India, China, Persia. She
brought reports from native Supporters of Mahatma Ghandi and the
Indian Nationist movement. Mrs.
Sternaman read a letter from China
that was a revelation of the life of
that distracted country and the difficult work of the missionary  today.

sang, by request, "My Task" and
Mrs. D. Mater led the devotion with
a brief address. The group sang a
new song "The King's Highway".

The Clare High, lads won their
fourth basketball game in -five starts
last Friday night when they defeated
the Evart High team 29 to 18. The
boys have lost only to Midland, a
Class B school.
The game started in great shape
for Evart when several they garnered several points to take the lead but
at half time the Clare team was out
in front by a 10 to 7 score. This first
half was fast and exciting with Clare
rather erratic in the handling of the
ball. ' '     '   '
In the second half the scores
gradually separaeed until a spurt by
the Evart boys brought their score
to IS with 222 for our side. This
was the extent of their scoring' however and the Clare boys really began
and score in earnest. Seven pointo
were rung up in the short time left
to play.
Waite and Chaffee were the leading scores each making five baskets
and Larry a free throw. Severs playing center was high point man for
Evart with five baskets and a free
throw to match Waite for points.
This was Evart first defeat of the
season having conquered the Cad'
iliac B and Remus teams. The Clare
boys journey to Gladwin tonight for
the first game with them in a number of years and hope to average the
stringing defeats of the past two
years in football. The team is crippled however with the lose of two
regulars due to scholastic troubles.
Friday, January 22nd, the St. Louis
High school team comes to Clare.
■There will be the usual two games.

have originated near the furnace
spreading through partitions to the
attic.

stop, considering the heavy oil
smoke which packed the house. The
blaze at no time reached the outside,
but was kept in a smouldering condition until the vital spot could be
reached.
In spite of every effort -the interior
and furniture were badly damaged
and the loss will reach several thousand dollars.

Acgording to the semi-annual re-
jport of Prosecuting Attorney T. Carl
I Holbrook, this week forwarded to
the Attorney General's Department
at Lansing, Michigan, major crime
seems to be fairly well under control in Clare County. According to
the report as forwarded there were a
total number of fifty prosecutions in
Clare County from July 1st to December 31st, 1931. Of this number
forty-five resulted in convictions
with no acquittals, three were dismissed on payment of costs, no cases
nolle prossed, one discharged on examination and there was one settlement.
According to the report of the var-_
ious justices in the County to the
Prosecutor's office, the fifty prosecutions gave the County $288.00 in fine
money, and the total number of days
in the County jail were 301. Eight
were placed on probation and two
were sentenced to state prisons for
maximum terms of eleven years.
Petty thievery has ' been on the
gain during the past six months,
there being seven apprehended
cases. Five of these were tried before juries, resulting in convictions.
Violation of the conservation laws
amounted to eleven of the fifty cases
prosecuted. Next in line was that of
disorderly persons resulting in ten
convictions. Motor vehicle violations. There were six cases of assault and battery and one each of
negligent homicide, bastardy and
rape. There were two prosecutions
for prohibition law violations one resulting in state prison sentence and
one resulting in two yea,r probationary period.
The report is very commendable-
and is can be said that the Prosecutor's office not only lias cared for
the judicial side of the crime laws,
but has also operated with the
strictest economy, thus assisting the
tax payers of the County during this
period of depression.

ANNUAL MEETING
OF C. OF C. HELD
MONDAUVENING
Varied Program Proves Interesting to All Present.
New Officers Elected
The monthly meeting and annual
election of' officers ;of the Clare
Chamber of Commerce was held at
the Barnes Cafe Monday evening
January 11th. At 6; 30 o'clock the
members sat down, to a fine dinner
prepared by Mrs. Nora Barnes, and
served by a few of our local young
ladies. • ,
Following the banquet, community'
singing was indulged in, led by--the
official song leader, Mr. Norris El-
don, which was entered into with vim
and enthusiasm by all the men.
The program was in charge of the
President, Mr. Ed. Johnston, who at
once' introduced Mr. Henry Baumgarten, Scoutmaster, who with, six
of his scouts gave a fine demonstration of the things the boys are studying and doing at their meetings.
The boys demonstrated some
methods of signaling, also- displayed
very effectively first aid for the in-,
jurde. Much credit is due Mr, Baumgarten and his boys for the advance*
ment they are making in their work.
Mr. TJggen, 'the Scout Executive for
the Saginaw area, was present and
gave a brief address explaining some
of the activities of the scouts in this
area. He mentioned that two cabins
had been built, one of which was at
Camp Rotary, and would be occupied some of the time by our local
iScouts. The Boy Scouts were guests
of the Chamber of Commerce.
President- Johnston then introduced Mr. G. R. Bogan, Superintendent
of Clare Schools, who in turn introduced Miss Gene McDonald of the
Interstate Bureau) for Lyceum
Courses, who entertained the members for twenty» minutes with exceedingly humorous readings and
jokes.
Mr. Jack Lloyd, who is known as
the World's greatest Oil Boomer was
introduced. He spoke briefly of the
possibilities and opportunities of the
oil business in our vicinity, and introduced the matter of promoting a
weekly news edition, whicb would be
circulated throughout this country^
and to interested parties all over the
world.
In opening the business of the annual meeting Mr. Geo. Sherwood,- the
Secretary, read a report which included a financial statement, also a
stimmary of the many activities of
the Chamber of Commerce for the
year 1931. This was one of the most
exhaustive' and illuminating reports
one could wish for, revealing as it
did the vast amount of work done by
the  officers  and  various  members.
Much interest has been exerted by
the officers on behalf of the farming
industry of our community. Several
phases of that work was emphasized
by the President, who himself is
vitally interested in the welfare of
the farmer. The matter of securing
f.ome printed circulars with illustrations to advertise the many advantages for tourists in this section
of the country was discussed, and
undoubtedly definite* action will be
taken in regard to the matter in the
near future.
The officers elected for 1932 are as
follows:
President, Mr. Geo. White.
Vice Pres., Mr. Fred Morgan,     v,.,
Secretary, Mr. Geo. Sherwood.    ■Tj
Treasurer, Mr. Stuart Bicknell.
Directors, Mr, E. A- Anderson and
Mr. C. C. Harris.
Several of the members were called upon for remarks and eacb one
responded some seriously and others
with more humor. Altogether there
was a very notable fine spirit, which
we feel sure will be maintained under the leadership of Mr, White. A,
standing vote of thanks was accorded the retiring officers and the meeting adjourned.
Dance every    Saturday    night    at
Duncan's hall.—adv. 8t3

can have use of the slide free of
charge. j
