Special Features,of Day's
Program.
The Hundreds of people, who attended the U. S. 27 celebration, Tuesday, bore evidence of their appreciation of the completion of this highway and the praise, proclaimed, regarding it's quality, it's graceful dips
and rises, it's straightaways and
curves,' should rightfully place a
feather in the caps of members of
the Hersey Gravel Co., and our state
highwaymen and in this bestowal, no
one should forget that it is thru the
desire to beautify this trunk line,
thru his conception of adding a
touch 'here and there to the picture,
that our little friend _and citizen,
"Shorty" Oldman should long be remembered.
From day light Tuesday morning,
the grounds around the Krell gas
station became the center of activity
and shortly afternoon over one thousand carl had been safely parked along
the highways and m an adjoining
field, under tlie direction of Clare
supervisors and road men.
At 10:00 o'clock, as scheduled,
"Dutch" Bauer led his Dover soft,
bailers on to the field against t he
warriors from the Eagle, led by Robt.
Kleiner and Doverites' emerged vie
torious to the time of 20-16. At 2:00
p. m. Arthur Fleming proudly paraded ou to the diamond at the head of
the Clareites, engaged into an overtime battle with the Browns, directed
by Ira Miller, and the city lads were
forced out of "the race in the 10th by
a final of 14 to 18, The writer still
thinks Clare would have had a
chance, had they possessed a "rooter" like F/unice Sunday. Browns, you
have sure got a loyal bunch. And yet
in the face of this victory, forth went
the Dauntless Doverites. The battle
was on. Dutch's stock was up, then
down, out finally the Doverites were
awarded the penant by an S to 6
count over the Browns, The "Sentinel" only regrets that lack of space
keeps them from paying tribute to
the individual players, their leaders
and the sportsmanlike manner in
which they accepted decisions, ami
we sincerely boost a continuance of
this novel,game. No less than "1000
onlookers proved it a fascinating
pastime evan to spectators.
To "Billie" Krell the community
owes it's gratitude for his hours of
hard labor in making the arrangements for this successful gathering,
to Ted Bowler goes tho credit of the
arrangement of the day's activities
and to Asa Aldrich, 'we owe our
thanks for the Harrison donation anri
flic schedule of the day's speakers.
In the front yard, a speaker's stand
had been prepared, hung with flags
and bunting and during the program
tile Clare H. S. band led by H.
Wehrly, and the Harrison orchestra
directed by Mr. Chas. Butts furnished/
excellent music at various intervals.
In the, evening the Butts orchestra
and Schteafl© orchestra—rendered
sweet strains as hundreds tripped

Tiny Fire* Truck Taken to Lansing
Convention by Local Department
For
several days previous to the^considerable attention
State firemen's, convention held '
in
Lansing last week, members of the
local fire department were busy
building a unique miniature fire
truck which they planned to display,
at the convention.
The truck was built on an ancient
Scripps-Booth chassis owned by Robt.
Archanbault and was outfitted with
hose and reel, chemical tanks, gas
masks, axes, ladders and a siren that
sent many a car to the curb during
its service in Clare for the past several years.
The firemen transported their
prize to Lansing city limits in a
truck, where they unloaded and were
met by a police patrol and escorted
to the downtown fire station where
hundreds of people and firemen from
ali parts of the state viewed the
creation.
in commenting on the truck the
Lansing State Journal says:
* Shrieking of a siren attracted

LAST RESPECTS TO
A. LEFFINGWELL
in Lansing's
business seotion Wednesday. Motorists drove their cars to the side of
the streets and pedestrains stepped
aside^ expecting; to see' giant fire
engines whiz by, but this was not the
case,
'"Instead a tiny two-cylinder en-
gined truck bearing the inscription
"Clare Fire Department, No, 1"
dashed in and out of traffic—almost
under the wheels of the larger automobiles and trucks. Here to attenu
the annual convention of the Michigan State Firemen's association the
Clare firemen brought the miniature
truck. It is builV on a Scripps- Booth
chassis that is more than 30 years
old, is operated by a two-wheel chain
drive, and is air-cooled.
"The Clare firemen who brought
the small engine to Lansing are:
Chief Albert Haley, M. A. Doherty,
Willard Bieknell, Robert Archambault, Wilber Ireland, and Leo Hampton.
RURAL FIRE TRUCK
EXTINGUISHES GASOLINE
FIRE ON ROAD TRACTOR
/ -.—_—
Last week Thursday forenoon the
rural fire truck was called to the
Krell corners, five miles north of the
city, where-a tractor belonging- to the
Hersey Gravel Co., had taken fire.
The tractor had just been filled
with fifty gallons of gasoline and in
starting away a back-fire, ignited the
drippings on the tank.
The truck, with Jas Clute at the
wheel, was on the spot in a few
minutes, and although a gasoline fire
is anything but easy to extinguish,
the blaze was soon conquered saving
the tractor from serious damage.
The local department is also on
record as being the only one in the
state to have extinguish an oil well
fire with water.

Announcement is made this week
by Allen R. Graham, receiver for the
Clare County Savings bank, that the
first dividends from this institution
will be available to the depositors,
next Saturday.
The amount to be .allotted at this
time is one of the largest paid by any
bank in the state out of their own
resources. This amount is due to
cash conditions, cash in hand and accumulation of liquidation since receivership January 14th of this, year,
and custodianship since May 20th,
1932, and not through a medium of
borrowed money.
Those who have pledged their Receiver's Certificates for scrip during
the past several months, will have
same returned to them upon presentation of receipt given them by Ai
B. Gibbs, authorized agent of the
Clare Chamber of Commerce to
handle this medium of exchange.
Much credit is due Mr. Graham in
so guiding the affairs of the bank
during the past six months that this
amount can again be put into the
hands of the depositors and into circ-
culatiou.

ARRAIGNED LAST FRIDAY
PURSE CONTAINING ONE
DOLLAR BILL FOUND AFTER
MANY MONTHS ABSENCE
Last autumn as the leaves were
very prominent upon our streets and
lawn, Chester Richard, Jr., had the
misfortune to lose a small coin purse
while running an errand for his
mother. Much time was spent stirring
the dry leaves and the lad was quite
concerned about the loss of the purse
which contained one dollar bill. No
trace was found of it and in fact, it
was practically forgotten. Tuesday
afternoon Bert Jackson and Herman
Leis were digging for fish worms in
Wm. Leis' garden lot in First ward
'and unearthed a purse which was
identified as the one Junior lost. The
bill was so decomposed that it
scarcely could be handled and has
been sent in to Washington D. Cj
where it will be replaced.
The purse which was of very good
leather appears unharmed by it exposure to the winter's snow and rain*'
Mr. Leis, who is janitor at the Wm.
H. Bieknell store, hauled some leaves
from Mr. Bicknell's residence last
fall to place upon his garden and this
accounts for the conveying of the
article this distance from the location where it was lost.

The liveliest party hem at Houghton Lake this summer was staged
Monday evening by the officers aud
selectees of Civilian Conservation
Company 6S4 of thti Houghton Lake
Camp at Johnson's Rustic Dance
Palace, The dance opened with a
reveille ceremony, a cannon firing
a salute indoors which was the signal
for a peppy military march at the
close of which Selectee Boulter of
Fowlerville sounded "Reveille",
The dance was replete with specialty entertainment numbers. First
was a male trio consisting of Selectees Paul, Bishop and Moriarity who
sang four songs. The next was a
duet by Selectees Beck and Whittak-
61' accompanied ou the guitar By Mi'
Culhane. Beck sang several solo
numbers which made a hit. The hit
of the evening was the singing of the
"Artilleiy Song," the Army's best
known, aong, which was sung by
Selects is Delaney, Enincse, Lawrence, Adams, Rouser, Bailey, Canja
and Martin.
Numerous "Paul Jones" dances
provided much amusement and caused'ample "mixing" of the guests who
were young women from Clare, Harrison, Prudenville, Roscommon,
Grayling, Higgjns Lake, Houghton
Lake and West Branch.
The close of the dance was a
unique ceremony, an indoor "Retreat". Following the sounding. of
"Retreat", a salute was fired by a
miniature cannon set on the stage,
and as the bugler started to play "To
the Colors", all lights were extinguished and Only a spotlight illuminated the flag as it was lowered from a
■9-foot flagstaff on the stage.
Prior to the dance the company
staged an outdoor songfest at Johnson's Kustic Tavern complimenting

But Few Buildings Remain
of Former Lumbering
Village
July 13th the homes of Mr. and
Mrs. Claude Turner and Mr. and Mrs.
A. E. Hains of Hatton, were destroyed by fire. The blaze originated at
the Turner house and rapidly spread
until both residence and much personal property were destroyed, also
all out buildings, including a large
sheep barn and corral, and many
fruit trees. The wind was very
strong carrying brands for many rods
distant making it necessary for men
to be stationed to- prevent forest
fires.
The tire was cited from the Tower
lookout and fire fighters from Farwell
and neighbors responded to help.
The burning of these buildings
leaves but a few remaining of what
once helped to make the hustling little lumbering village of Hatton. They
were located on the north side of the
highway.
At present Mr. and Mrs. Hains are
staying with their granddaughter,
Mrs. Gordan Snelling, and family af;

Four officials of, the Clare County
Savings Bank were arrested in Clare
last Friday by Sheriff Woods and Vn-
dersheriff w. H, Erter as the result
of the one-man grand jury investigation of the affairs of the bank conducted before Judge Ray Hart in
early May. The reports state that
the officials drew large sums o$
mohey from the bank in 1931, prior
to the action of the state banking department in placing a restriction o»
deposits and' withdrawals ,and "receiving deposits with intended fraud
and deceit, knowing the bank to be
insolvent."
Those arraigned before Justice of
the Peace S. M, Callihan and bound
over to Circuit Court on release of
$3000 oonds each are: C. I-I. Sutherland, cashier for over fourty-six
years, and founder of the bank; Fred
McGuiro, * assistant qashier, and custodian for bank from May 20th, 1932
to January Hth, 1933; E. A. Anderson and Homer Douglas, directors.
The fifth officer, James A. McKay, •
president, was apprehended by ot-
fieers in Detroit Friday evening and
Sheriff Edmond Woods went to that
city to return him for arraignment
Saturday, who later pleaded not
guilt}'.
Warrants were issued by Prosecuting Attorney Theo. G. Bowler following an all night conference here with
state officials, Perry Maynard, assistant Attorney General and George
R. Murphy, of Lansing. The four men
pled not guilty and waived examine
tion>
According to the findings of the investigation the amounts withdrawn by
the officials is as foUajKs;. ,Soi2ii&i&3J&-^.J,
$10,000.00; F. O. McGuire, administrator of funds for the C. W. Perry-
estate $4,750; H. M. Douglas and wife
14000; and McKay $10,477. Mr. McKay's balance in the bank is stated
to be $76 in savings deposits and
$4.61 in one commercial account.
Exceptions were made to certain
depositors after restrictions were invoked upon savings deposits and at
the close of the ninety-day notice
necessary, the reports stat"s many
depositors were denied the risrht of
withdrawals. The directors claimed
that the depositors given the right of
withdrawals after this period were
those who gave .sufficient evidence
that the money was to be used for a
needed cause.
James McConnell, of Vernon township, was the only director for whom
a warrant was not issued. Judge
Hart in the investigation withheld
thct "inscmuch as Mr. McConnell
was elected to the Board of Directors"
in 1531 without his permission and

The truck was built on an ancient Scripps-Booth chassis owned by Robt. Archanbault and was outfitted with hose and reel, chemical tanks, gas masks, axes, ladders and a siren that sent many a car to the curb during its service in Clare for the past several years. The firemen transported their prize to Lansing city limits in a truck, where they unloaded and were met by a police patrol and escorted to the downtown fire station where hundreds of people and firemen from ali parts of the state viewed the creation. in commenting on the truck the Lansing State Journal says: * Shrieking of a siren attracted MANmis^DTPAT LAST RESPECTS TO A.

RURAL FIRE TRUCK EXTINGUISHES GASOLINE FIRE ON ROAD TRACTOR / -.—_— Last week Thursday forenoon the rural fire truck was called to the Krell corners, five miles north of the city, where-a tractor belonging- to the Hersey Gravel Co., had taken fire. The tractor had just been filled with fifty gallons of gasoline and in starting away a back-fire, ignited the drippings on the tank. The truck, with Jas Clute at the wheel, was on the spot in a few minutes, and although a gasoline fire is anything but easy to extinguish, the blaze was soon conquered saving the tractor from serious damage. The local department is also on record as being the only one in the state to have extinguish an oil well fire with water. AUXILIARY UNIT CHOOSE DELEGATES TO JULYJWEETING Ten Members Guests of Mt.

Graham, receiver for the Clare County Savings bank, that the first dividends from this institution will be available to the depositors, next Saturday. The amount to be .allotted at this time is one of the largest paid by any bank in the state out of their own resources. This amount is due to cash conditions, cash in hand and accumulation of liquidation since receivership January 14th of this, year, and custodianship since May 20th, 1932, and not through a medium of borrowed money. Those who have pledged their Receiver's Certificates for scrip during the past several months, will have same returned to them upon presentation of receipt given them by Ai B. Gibbs, authorized agent of the Clare Chamber of Commerce to handle this medium of exchange. Much credit is due Mr. Graham in so guiding the affairs of the bank during the past six months that this amount can again be put into the hands of the depositors and into circ- culatiou. was made during the past week for repair work.

FIVE OFFICIALS OF COUNTY SAVINGS CLARE BANK ARRAIGNED LAST FRIDAY PURSE CONTAINING ONE DOLLAR BILL FOUND AFTER MANY MONTHS ABSENCE Last autumn as the leaves were very prominent upon our streets and lawn, Chester Richard, Jr., had the misfortune to lose a small coin purse while running an errand for his mother. Much time was spent stirring the dry leaves and the lad was quite concerned about the loss of the purse which contained one dollar bill. No trace was found of it and in fact, it was practically forgotten. Tuesday afternoon Bert Jackson and Herman Leis were digging for fish worms in Wm. Leis' garden lot in First ward 'and unearthed a purse which was identified as the one Junior lost. The bill was so decomposed that it scarcely could be handled and has been sent in to Washington D. Cj where it will be replaced. The purse which was of very good leather appears unharmed by it exposure to the winter's snow and rain*' Mr. Leis, who is janitor at the Wm. H. Bieknell store, hauled some leaves from Mr. Bicknell's residence last fall to place upon his garden and this accounts for the conveying of the article this distance from the location where it was lost.

But Few Buildings Remain of Former Lumbering Village July 13th the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Turner and Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Hains of Hatton, were destroyed by fire. The blaze originated at the Turner house and rapidly spread until both residence and much personal property were destroyed, also all out buildings, including a large sheep barn and corral, and many fruit trees. The wind was very strong carrying brands for many rods distant making it necessary for men to be stationed to- prevent forest fires. The tire was cited from the Tower lookout and fire fighters from Farwell and neighbors responded to help. The burning of these buildings leaves but a few remaining of what once helped to make the hustling little lumbering village of Hatton. They were located on the north side of the highway.

H, Erter as the result of the one-man grand jury investigation of the affairs of the bank conducted before Judge Ray Hart in early May. The reports state that the officials drew large sums o$ mohey from the bank in 1931, prior to the action of the state banking department in placing a restriction o» deposits and' withdrawals ,and "receiving deposits with intended fraud and deceit, knowing the bank to be insolvent." Those arraigned before Justice of the Peace S. M, Callihan and bound over to Circuit Court on release of $3000 oonds each are: C. I-I. Sutherland, cashier for over fourty-six years, and founder of the bank; Fred McGuiro, * assistant qashier, and custodian for bank from May 20th, 1932 to January Hth, 1933; E. A.

Mr. McKay's balance in the bank is stated to be $76 in savings deposits and $4.61 in one commercial account. Exceptions were made to certain depositors after restrictions were invoked upon savings deposits and at the close of the ninety-day notice necessary, the reports stat"s many depositors were denied the risrht of withdrawals. The directors claimed that the depositors given the right of withdrawals after this period were those who gave .sufficient evidence that the money was to be used for a needed cause. James McConnell, of Vernon township, was the only director for whom a warrant was not issued. Judge Hart in the investigation withheld thct "inscmuch as Mr. McConnell was elected to the Board of Directors" in 1531 without his permission and CURE-ISABELLA POMONA GRANGE TO MEET AUGUST 4 The Clare-Isabella Pomona Grange will meet at the Mt.
