CLARE MICHIGAN, FRIDAY CORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1932
SALVATION ARMY
SEEKS ASSISTANCE
AND reOTECTION
* Fid. Director Warns Against
Imposters in Uniforms
Bearing  Similar
Emblems
A representative or the Salvation
Army Territorial Headquarters for
Eastern ** Michigan, Mrs. Mary T.
Wish-man, field director, is interesting Clare citizens in the promotion
of a local Board, comprised of representative men and women of the city.
This group to be the connecting link
between the Salvation Army Home
Service work and the general public.
All soliciting of the Annual Appeal
Funds will be in tlie hands of this
Board; the funds collected, will be
placed in a local bank and when the
Appeal is completed the total will be
forwarded to the Headquarters of the
Home Service direct. Clare will be
credited with the amount also.
The National Chamber of Commerce* • granted the Salvation Army
the right to build Boards for the Annual support of its Home Service
worte" This was in acknowledgement
of its services in the World War and
it has 'been adhered to very largely
thruout the United States since the
close of the War.
'"a Protection to the Public and the
Salvation Army
This manner of support, Mrs. Wish-
man reminds us, is a' protection to
the public, who are solicited by all
sorts of variously uniformed persons
to whom the unsuspecting public pay
money, thinking is is going for the
Salvation Army work.
This is a mistake, for the Salvation Army does not have any solicitors out for Home Service support
and money contributed to uniformed
solicitors never reaches the Salvation Army Headquarters. There are
no branches of Salvation Army.
Imposters in Uniforms
. Frequent arrests have been made,
according to Mrs. Wishman of persons representing themselves as
"members" or "branches" of the
Salvation Army. Some have worn
the emblematic cap, which was procured dishonestly. Others carry
bogus letters from some Supposed officer introducing them as .solicitors.
At the close of the War many so-
called "Armies" sprung up every-
■where. Names like, "Samaritan,"
""Service," Sanctified", were chosen
at first, and the names are confusingly like Salvation, and the S. and A.
can be worn on collar of their uniforms. Later, "Christian Army,"
"Church of God", Army, "Disciples"
Army, all sorts of "Rescue" Armies
because active in soliciting the pub-
* lie,  to  whom  a uniform means  only
.the One Salvation  Army No. 2.
Salvation Army, that has worn the
Blue with Red decorations through
fifty years of generous, loving service to God and humanity. Much
money is gathered by these other
organizations and records indicate
that no service is rendered any community by them. They have no institutions which can serve the unfortunates anywhere.
By building a local Board for the
Salvation Army, ancl in conjunction
with our local Chamber of Commerce, these solicitors can be kept
out of town.

EIGHT PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS. TO
CONFRONT VOTERS
Rep. Callaghan .Has Written
Unbiased Series to Inform His Constituents
For the passed five weeks the
columns of The Sentinel have carried
articles furnished hy our district
representative, Miles M. Callaghan
fully explaining the proposed amendments which will appear on the ballot at the election next Tuesday, November 8th. *    *'
These articles have taken no little time in preparing by Mr. Callaghan, and we are confident that he
performed a real service to the
people that he serves as these
amendments are too lengthy for an
individual to try to read after entering the booth on election day. They,
need more careful consideration than
could be given them at this time and
his   discussion "has   been  unbiased.
In this issue Mr. Callaghan expounds the pi'oposal known as Act
No. 55 passed by the legislature in
1931 to regulate the manufacture ancl
sale of oleomargarine, etc. This is of
vital importance to the voters and
taxpayers. He also gives a summary,
of all proposed amendments and suggests a sure way to cast your vote
correctly next Tuesday.
Since Mr. Callaghan has been a
member of the House he has repeatedly attempted to keep the people posted
through newspaper articles with
what was going on in Lansing for
which The Sentinel has been very
grateful and we are sure his constituents also have been well informed through his efforts.

COMSTOCK'S AEROPLANE
FORCED DOWN NORTH

Democratic Candidate for Governor Pays Clare Short Visit
While Awaiting Transportation
An aeroplane carrying Wm. A.
Comstock, Democratic candidate for
Governor, from Traverse City to Ann
Arbor was forced down several miles
northwest of Clare Wednesday afternoon when they encountered a snow
storm and -considerable fog.
Mr. Comstock was brought to this
city by auto and while awaiting here
for transportation to continue his
journey, an impromtu reception was
held for him at the Hotel Doherty.
During his short stay here Mr.
Comstock discussed many subjects
briefly and assured those present
that he would, if elected, take immediate steps to protect the peoples
interest and hasten the building of a
gas line from our gas fields to the
large cities.
Every citizen in Central Michigan
is vitally interested in the development of our natural gas product and
Mr. Comstock contends that immediate action -is essential, without
further loss to be suffered through
opposition and delays that have been
encountered during the past two
years.

TO THE PUBLIC
During the past week rumors have
been circulated in the City and
County that Wm. A. Henderson,
County Clerk, in 1931 appropriated
for his personal use interest upon a
deposit made by him of funds tendered in. a suit involving this Bank
ancl George McKeever and wife. We.
wish to publicly announce that there
is no foundation in fact to these rumors, and were it not for "the political
inference we know there would be no
need to defend the integrity of this
conscientious public official, who in
this case acted as directed in stipulations of attorneys for the party
litigants as to disposition of the
funds tendered.
It is a strange co-incidence that
this matter is given credence a few
short days before election, when the
alleged offense occurred some sixteen
months ago.
Respectfully submitted,
The Glare County Savings Bank,
F. O. McGuire, Custodian.
Theo. G. Bowler,
Attorney.

Inclement Weather Prevents
the Big Time Planned
at Tourist Camp
A large crowd of boys and girls
were partially disappointed last Hal-
lowe'eu night when inclement weather made it impossible to hold. "The
Big Party" promised them at the
tourist camp.
Nevertheless hundreds of young
America from this vicinity undismayed, hut instead, full of enthusiasm,
gathered at the Ideal Theatre where
they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
John Asline for the show.
The party at the tourist camp that
had been planned by the Boy aud.Cub
Scouts was postponed until Wednesday evening, but rain again spoiled
the fun.
Mayor Wilson stated to the Sentinel Thursday that the boys and girls
are not going to be beat out of this
event, that as. soon as the weather
settles the party will be held.
The merchants of the city, who
contributed generously to the amount
of ?81.S0 for the event, are much
pleased with the success of the, idea,
and undoubtedly will make it an annual event.
The Consumers Power Co,, through
their local manager, C. A. Wellman,
built a line to the tourist park to provide lights" and contributed the
cost of same toward the entertainment of the young folks.
The date of the coming party will
be announced through the school and
The Semtinel as soon as it is deemed
possible to hold same.

HALLOWE'EN AT THE
METHODIST CHURCH
The Methodist church Sunday
school observed Halloween in fine,
customary style last week end. The
Epworth League held a Hard Times
party when the fine crowd of young
people dressed in their old Hobo best
clothes and assembled for an evening
of games in a corn shocked basement.
Amusing games and ghostly activities occupied an evening that closed
with grape juicfr, apples *and ginger
snaps,
On Friday afternoon the Primary
department staged a dres,s-up affair
in honor of Halloween. Prizes" were
given for the best.costumes and also
for the most complete disguises. Contest games were indulged and,candy
prizes given to the many • winners.
One thing that "pleased the. .youngsters was that awards were irtftde for
completion Of tne race rather than
for firsts only. The jolly.time ended
with apples, popcorn, and sandwiches.
Observe Educational Week by attending the Good Literature Club
program at the public school auditorium November 10th.
Following we print a letter received recently from Harry Greenaway,
of Port Huron, who spent his boyhood clays in this city ancl who recalls many memories from , the
articles published in ■ The Sentinel
each week:
Port Huron, Oct. 24, 1932.
The Clare Sentinel.
Gentlemen:—       c
.1 enclose herewith, my check for
renewal of subscription to your
valuable paper.
As I read the issue of October 14th
the thought of, just how valuable the
paper from the old home town is,
came into my mind.
I note with regret the account of
the passing of two persons who were
prominent in the early history of
Glare both of whom I have always
remembered persons of fine character ancl loveable dispositions. The
death of both is a distinct loss to the
communities in which*they chose to
vesicle and surely has caused a sadness to those of ns who remember
them so well. I refer to the passing
of Frank Ballinger and Mrs. Bruske.
My mind goes back to the years
when I was a hoy in Clare and the
memory of the many fine things Mrs.
Bruske did for the young people of
that place is a pleasant one but the
point is, the news item told of many
in attendance at the funerals who I
remember very well but who I had
not seen in a number of years particularly Mrs. Carrie Gray who was
"one of my teachers and a splendid
one, considering the collective ambition a great many of us used in the
promotion of things not found in text
books.
Mention was made of a number of
■persons who were pupils of that same
school and it was a source of much
pleasure to know of their whereabout and activities ancl these things
are to my mind one of the units of
value of the paper from the old home
town.
Please accept my congratula
tions for your presentation of the
various articles ancl my wish for a
prosperous future..
Respectfully,
G. H. Greenaway.

GROUP HEARTILY ENJOY POT
LUCK SUPPER AT LOOMIS'
A very pleasing and enjoyable time
was  spent at the hospitable country
. home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.   Sam Loomis
I last Friday evening when the mem-
j bers and their husbands of the Ladies   Union   of   the    Congregational
church met for a pot luck dinner.
The ladies brought well filled
baskets, the contents of which when
spread upon the table and when
augmented with a bountiful supply of
chicken provided by the host, made
faces smile and a feast ensueel never
to be forgotten by those who were
present.
This enjoyable time has become
somewhat of an annual affair, and we
hope our host and hostess will be
'spared a long time so as to exercise
themselves in useful service for
Christ and the church of their
adoption.
