-eastern standard time.     The school
been thoroughly cleaned and repairs
and minor improvements made dur-r
ing the vacation.      The faculty has

♦indicates'new teachers.
Some plans for the preliminary enrolment have ben formulated and the
tentative schedule of Classes also is
given in this issue of The Sentinel.
We are asking those pupils who live,
in town to come to the school on Pri»
day afternoon to arrange any conflicts which they may discover in connection witli the schedule. We shal]
also be at the high school pn Saturday to take,'care of the rural student?
who have conflicts. Please arrange
to come one of these two days in order to save time on Monday.
On Monday, we are asking the upper
class students, 10, 11 and 12 to conn
at 8:30 for registration and instructions. The afternoon is being de»
voted to the enrollment of the Freshmen. Wetare planning- on spending
a considerable amount of time with
this latter class in order that they
may become thOroly acquainted with
the school, the teachers, and then
courses. It is especially important
that the non-resident students have
the correct information with regard
to their district numbers, directors'
names and townships.
. The present plans call for a term
of nine months of school and according to the outlook at this time ii
seems that it Avill be possible to complete the term. All departments ol-
the school are being maintained as
in the past; This has been made
possible thru large reductions in the
salary schedule. The faculty has
been of the opinion as well as the
Board of Education that the maintenance of the school at its high
standard was the goal to be achieved
and all have thus "cooperated to
bring' this about. j
We wish to assure the parents ol
the students entering the Freshmar
class thatr these students will , be
courteously received and that the
practice of 'Initiating' or otherwise]
'liaising1 these students will not he
carried on. ^The Board of Education and the "faculty and the student
body welcome the n,ew class with the
best wishes for" the year. Any other
type of conduct is not in keeping
with the standards of a school such
as Clare High School and will be
severely dealt with either if by students or others.
Parties desiring high school girls
to work* for room and board, call Mr.
73. D. Kerinedy oi' Mr. W. E.Tiehenor.
W!e are'looking forward to an excellent school year and with the continued loyal. support of the patrons
and parent's this will again be possible.

spirit of being anxious to be of service to the merchants of this district.
The Sales Tax, although Just start-y

Five members of Civilian Conservation Corps Company 684 were injured Monday evening -i'vhen a truck
carrying food to men fighting forest
fires in the Houghton Lake state forest was forced off the road to 'avoid
being struck by a passenger car, a
Chevrolet coupe, driven1 at a high
rate of speed by a Toledo driver. The
passenger car was approaching ' a
curve in the road at such a fast rate
that it was unable to slow down to
avoid running into another car in its
immediate front. To avoid doing
I this the driver turned put into the
road into the path of the Dodge
truck. Selectee Henderson, the truck
driver, seeing that an 'accident was
unavoidable, turned sharply off the
road where a pile of sand interfered
with the course followed, swerved
the truck sharply to the left, back
onto the road where it turned over
on its side. Selectee Genske suffered • concussion and a skull fracture
and Selectee Richards -rt broken col-

as school day at the county fair. Asa
Aldrich, with the aid of the "teachers
of the county, has an unusually complete program prepared for presentation to the people on that day. From
all indications  the exhibits    of    the
schools will prove just   as    pleasing
and interesting, if not more so, than
ever before in the  long history r of
;the    county's    agricultural    organ'iza-
| tion.    it must be   remembered    that
j our fair is oiig of the oldest in the

other relief,
able   interest
As tlie hour approached for the beginning of the championship tournament at "Twin Elms" Sunday, September 3rd, some 40 contestants,
eager to be on their way, seethed
around No. 1 tee like prancing
steeds,. being -entered in a grand
final. And why shouldn't they? The
President and tournament committee
had taken the -utmost .care, in figuring the season's averages, to see
each man in his rightful position and
the proximity of the scores in each
case approves their arrangements.
But for Byron Gallagher, of the,
championship flight, being on a Visit
over in Canada and George McKeev-
er being detained at a Democratic
conference iu Lansing, the start
would have been perfect and the
matches ideal. Although outside
contests have been enjoyed thruout
the season, both when played at
home and away, yet the comment was
unanimous that the real sport occurred in events like this, entered
into by local enthusiasts only.'
By the good graces of tne Sentinel,
there, appears above a, diagram of the'
contest as it exists to date and altho the totals for each 9 are shown
instead of the scores for each hole-(
as the game was .played, yet one can
see it was a battle royal.
Having, by agreement, arranged'
for winners, to as far as possible,
play off their matches on Monday,
Labor Day, tlje second bracket gives
the reader an idea of the thrills
brought about by the termination of

County Fair keeps ramblingr on and
next Thursday morning; at 8:00 a, m,
will open its gates and invite the
public to view its 47th annual exhibition at Harrison. Clare County
residents may well feel proud of the
spirit that carries on In this little
patch of woods "up where, the north
begins", in view of the high mortality of county fairs in the past few
years. Financial droughs, sales tax,
new deals and NRA have failed to
stop the Clare Fair.
The fair committee believes they
are offering a bigger and better fair
than "ever before. Although there
has been considerable revision of tha
premium lists, the premiums are
substantial and will Induce keen competition in every class of live stock;
POLICE TELEPHONE
DIRECTORY ISSUED
BY MICHIGAN BELL
Will Be Distributed Free to
State, County and Municipal Police Organizations
Continuing its cooperation with
law enforcement agencies, the Michigan Bell Telephone' Company has
just issued the third animal Police
Telephone Directory, containing the
residence and office telephone numbers of law enforcement officials
throughout the state. The directory
is designed primarily as a telephone
reference list for use of the authorities in getting into touch with each
other quickly at any hour of the day
or night, either at nearby or distant
points. It is being distributed free
through the local offices of the Company, to state, county and municipal
police organizations.
The first section of the directory
lists the location, commander in
charge and telephone number of all-
state police detachments: The second
contains an alphabetical list of Michigan's 8.3 counties, the names of "the
sheriffs, and their home and office
telephone numbers. The third section lists cities and villages, alphabetically, giving the names of the
police chiefs dhd their residence and
office* telephone numbers. By telephone it is possible to reach any police official listed in' the directory
within a few moments.
There also are pages of long distance telephone rates between 3f
representative' Michigan points, references to polide use of the teletypewriter and the long    distance    tele-

besides   its  handicraft  work,  present | exhibit.    The  county "4-H  clubs  will
lead out their usual  fine  string    ot
cattle and sheep.
The fair concessions have been
given a thorough inspection by secretary Charles Kleinhardt and none
have been given the 0. K. that would
offend Dad, Mother or child. .
The most drastic change in the fair
program probably occurs- in the racing curd. A county harness race, ia
farriler's running race, and a pony
race constitute the race card. This
may displease some of the old tima
railbirds but a saving of ?500 or more
of .the taxpayers dollars is a motive
that can not be ignored. A draft
horse pulling contest Friday afternoon is sure to attract hundreds of
fans. The contest is a free-for-all regardless of weight.
A series of baseball and soft ball
games involving talent from many
sections of tha.county has been arranged which- .will be in progress all
of the time. The -high light of the
series will be Friday afternoon when;
the Lee and Cady team of Bay City
meet the Camp Harrison CCC team
in a soft ball game. This contest
promises to tax the capacity of the
fair ground ball park as both teams
have been undefeated in the summer
schedule of playing in fast company.
Music will be furnished by Butts
orchestra, of Harrison, and the Clare
High school band assisted by tha
White Public address system of Mt.
Pieasant. The latter named will al-
,so announce all of the events each
day.
The prize winning livestock will be
lfi in parade pach afternoon at 1:30.
The horse pulling contest will take
place in front of the grandstand ott
the race track Friday at 2:00 o'clock.
Every reasonable effort, has beetf
made by the committee -to provide a
good fair by and for the home people.
It is the aim to have a fair that wa
can afford. The gate admission is 25
cents for adults, find 15 cents for
school children 'on Thursday, 15 cents
for car parking. No complimentary '
tickets have been printed. It cost3
money to print the tickets and they
do not return a penny at- the gate.
This gesture is not made "in offense
toward any one but no good reason'
can be ascribed for issuing 40 or 50
complimentary tickets good for the
entire fair. It lias been necessary to
reduce expenditures to the extent oil
about $800, or follow the .course oB
many other county fairs to a debtor's
grave", and oblivion. Generous patronage by the home folks each, dajf
'will put the fair over in a successful .
way. in every respect, and then, every
one can say, "we had a good county
fair and I did my bit to lieip make it
a success." •
Mr. and Mrs, J. Stuart Bieknell and
family'moved their household effects
to Saginaw this week and will make
their future home at 123 Cherry
Street.
Stuart, who has. so pleasantly.met
the public at the cashier window of
the Citizen's State Bank for the past
eight years, has accepted a position
with J. Arthur Redner Company, investment bankers of Battle Creek,
Who are'opening offices in Saginaw,
and Mr. Bieknell will be their branch
manager. This change has" been marjf
/vith deep consideration of the part
of both Mr. and Mrs, Bieknell and
the Company have been very presis-
tent in their efforts to secure Mr.
Bieknell..   "
As StUaS't is a Clare product, entering the "employ of the Citizens
State' bankr almost immediately after leaving high school, he has become well versed in this line of
business, and his many friends join
heartily in wishing him success. '
Mr. and Mrs, Bieknell have also
taken an active part in the social life
of the city and their associations
will be keenly missed.
