An unusual trend of interest was
manifest by. the large attendance of
the Clare Good Literature Club which
met tit' 'the home of Mrs. Nellie Sherwood on east Gth street Tuesday evening,; where the genial atmosphere
seemed to pervade every heart present throughout the entire period of
Assembly. t      » ' **
Roll, call responded to with Items
Of interest concerning, Michigan brpt
forth many stimulating facts concerning the greatness of our beautiful" peninsula, in miles it is farther
from Mauniee bay to Isle Royale than
•from London to Berlin, and we need
no better proof of Its attractiveness"
than to know that in 1932 Michigan's
State parks accomodated nearly ten
million tourists and campers. These
with numerous other valuable citations were as a minor prelude to the
Splendid program which followed and
was entered upon by. the spirited
group singing, "America, The Beautiful,"
Mrs. Kennedy in opening the evening's subject, "Michigan Day," stated that Michigan became a state June
15, 1S35, ancl was admitted to the
Union January 26th, 1837. The name
"Michigan" is of Indian origin and is
called the Wolverine state because of
the animal hearing that name being
so numerous through out the territory, though how practically extinct.
aV'1 28, 1897 the apple blossom was
adopted as the state flower.
Mrs. Sternaman in her usual capable manner described the state emblems, first flag and seal, also the
coat of arms. From its latin derivation our state seal bears this phrase:
"If you seek,, a pleasant peninsula
look around me."
The Michigan song adopted in 1902
written by Douglas Malloch and set
to its delightful music by Miessner,
used by most federations and clubs
rang forth in Chorus, then, "Education of Michigan," was well expounded Upon !)y Mi-s-.ip^^tor vfrS emphasized the dates of founding ancl
pioneer days of U. of M., Ypsilanti
Normal for training of teachers and
Michigin Sta'te College.
Miss Gerow accompanied by Miss
Jean Glerum sang, "Trees" as an introductory opening to Miss Reynolds
.subject, "Beauty spots of the northern peninsula." By use of maps,
staff in hand, pictures hung in groups
for illustration, Miss Reynolds launch
ed her audience unto a voyage from
luackinaw City to St. Ignace, the gate
way to Uie north, and thence fo Newberry, Munising, the Naples Of America, where waterfalls and many
cozy nooks among the beautiful trees
reach out great allurement to pause
hut on, on we go to the timber
crowned hills surrounding Marquette, sight a long stretch ot Getche
gunee, the Indian name for lake
Superior, become fascinated with
the high cliff of Presque Isle with its
high timber ancl herds of deer, visit
.the lovely Hotel Northland and over
the .drive—partly hewn out of high
cliffs to Negaunee, pass Ishpeming,
through Michigamme basin, drive
around the deep barbed Keweenaw
Bay, glimpsed Isle Royale at end of.
the trip. We feel these northern spurs
have all cast their spell and added to
their rugged grandeur is a softness
and park-like* aspect that only Iranian
association can bring. In their blue
distance along their purling streams
and woodland paths, man finds him-'
-sett" exceptionally at home.
As the pleasant ending of a perfect
evening came Mrs. Lockyer's interesting talk on the Indians of Michigan; taking many of their legends
•from the book "The Crooked Tree"
by John C. Wright. Beautifully weaving in her own actual experiences
and concluding with the singing of
"Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" in* Indian language.
It is a foregone conclusion that

his confidence in the prospective

Legislature, asking the State to provide some means of school support
to relievo the severe burden on property, and to provide sufficient
revenue so that the public schools of
Michigan may be maintained at least
on the 1923 level of operating costs,
The petition leaves the choice of
method entirely to the lawmakers,
but mentions various Other taxes as
possible sources of revenue, including the sales and graduated income
taxes.
The text of the petition is as follows :
"To the Gojernor and Legislature

to accept this as a fact, thinking how*
disappointed some of them might b'e
when the surprise dinner would be
served.
At seven o'clock they journeyed to
the Dunlop Cafe where the long table

served the dinner, and such a delictus meal it was, roast turkey, dressing,, cranberry sauce, pudding, and
everything, that goes with it for a
real dinner, Did they enjoy it? You
should have heard their praises
about it later—such excellent ser-
ice and generous servings. There
sure were no disappointments and all
voted the "Old Fashioned Dinner"
the best ever.
They returned to the Thurston
Home where the meeting was held.
This was a regular business meeting,
as no program -was arranged and
even their ladies Were left at home.

the Clare lads played good ball they
could not cope with the fine offensive
game that their opponents played.
Many times Clare guards presented
tallies by their good-defensive game
but they also committed a number
of fouls which handicapped them in
the late stages of the game.
The second team lost their game
also by a score of 29 and 6.
Tonight the Evart team comes to
Glare for their return game. They
have been/twice defeated in the "C"

STATE EXTENDS
TIME TO MARCH
1 F0R1ICENSES
Records Show a Decrease of
More Than .80,000 Cars
Yearly on Highways
Announcement was made by Secretary of State Frank D. Fitzgerald
Monday that use of 1032 license ,
plates will be legal in Michigan until
Mai-ch 1. At the same time he advocated a reduction in automobile and
truck license fees in future years
when the acute need for use of weight,
tax funds for the reduction-of local
higtfway tax burdens, has disappeared. * ....-'
The decision to extend the logal
use of 1932 plates to -March 1, the full
limit allowed.by the 1931 statute, was
reached after records of the Department of. State showed that automooile
weight tax fees collected for the first.
25 clays of January, 1933, were ?2,-
3S0.746 as compared with* $2,44,406
for the same period in 1932, This de*
crease in funds shows that it is becoming increasingly more difficu.lt for
vehicle owners to obtain funds to pay
the present weight tax. '
"Weight tax revenue is needed had-
ly by the state but the financial condition of the vast majority of Michigan citizens demands that they be
given every possible extension of
time", Mr. Fitzgerald- said. ."But
every citizen who is financially "able
•to dp so, should purchase his 1933
I plates as soon as possible, as practically all of this money will ultimately find its way into welfare channels by providing employment on ouv
highway".
In advocating a sharp reduction in
the annual weight tax on motor
vc*hicles, Mr. Fitzgerald pointed out
that at the present time all weight tax
funds are returned to local governmental units for the retirement ot
highway bonds and the reduction of
local highway, road and bridge taxes'.
Until the, need for this local tax relief is past, he asserted there appears
no clear way to lower license plate
fees.    ,
"Citizens have • shown that they
cannot'rfffoTd to purchase plates under the present cost system hut they
can pay the gasoline tax", ■ lie said,
"The number of automobiles in use
on Michigan highways is decreasing
at the rate of more than 80,000 a
year, which means that high fees are
depriving citizens of the use of then-
property andjalso depriving the state
of gasoline tax revenue.
"I believe plans should be made
looking toward a drastic reduction of
automobile license plate fees in tlie-
future. Pleasure car plates certainly
should be reduced and there is every
justification for reduction of costs of
license plates for trucks that are not
engaged in commercial business, but
are used in an incidental manner in
connection with another business. In
this class I would put trucks owned
by farmers for hauling their own produce and trucks used -by small businesses such as grocery stores.
"Si-ch a law would see a tremend-'
ous increase in gasoline taxes and
would provide welcome relief to more*
than one million citizens each year".
'AUXILIARY SPEND BUSY
AFTERNOON AT HARRIS HOME
The lovely home of. Mi-s. c. C
Harris was busy with flying needles,
machine work and happy with hum of"

Mrs. Norma Pratt, chairman* of tlie

of the work accomplished since she
took the reins, and voiced her appreciation and joy at tlie response
for the need of layettes, and her face
wore smiles, as We unwrapped our"
