FIRST SHOWING OF
NEW'34CHEVR0LET
Imposing List of Improvements and Refinements
Makes Car a Favorite to Many
The new 1934" Chevrolet with
"knee-action" wheels, 80-horsepower
"Blue Streak" engine, streamlined
body and an imposing list of improvements and refinements is on display
today in Clare, Michigan at the Clare
Chevrolet Sales Show Rooms.
In the design and development of
the new models, particular attention
has been given to driver and passenger comfort and every effort has
been made to eliminate the sensations of both sound and .feeling that
prove annoying to the motorist.
The new Chevrolet ' is longer—it
has a 112 Inch wheelbase—roomier,
more powerful, smoother and more
quiet than its predecessor. The engine Is placed several inches farther
forward in the chassis and seating
has been rearranged.
The additional length is disposed
so as to provide more space for thej
front seat occupants and considerably more room for the rear seat passengers.
, In appearance, the sleekness which
has characterized Chevrolet cars in
the past, Is further accentuated bj
the actual length increase plus the
treatment of the car design itself.
The increased power delivered by
the new "Blue Streak" engine Improves the flashing performance and
the many engine refinements, combined with distinct chassis improvements insure extremely fast, safe,
economical and quiet operation. Both
front and rear seat passengers are
insulated from road shocks by the Introduction ot independent front
wheel suspension—known as "knee
action" wheels—combined with im-

were   liberally   treated
Mrs. Omar Hall was the pleasing
hostess of the Clare Good Literature
Club last week Tuesday evening,. Al'
tho it took special "walking" effort to
attend, the members Were well repaid when listening to the splendid
book report given by Mrs. Anltr,
Tichenor. She chose "Flowering
Wilderness" by John Galsworthy. After the review, an interesting-discussion of the book and writer added
much to Its value.
President Mrs. Wylie announced

Sherwood and Miss Aya Hoard ar-,
nominating committee, to report' a.\

next took .place with Hod Dysinger
and Mayo Robinett as captains. Rev.
VanBrocklin armed with a dictionary
took his place as teacher and not
many minutes had passed until we
were nearly all in our seats again
watching with interest to see who
would eventually win. Sufficient to
say, Hod's side was victorious, Rosalie LaiigWorthy carrying off the
honors. Mr, Van • Is unusually liberal
about the spelling of words and declares that our friend.Noah Webster
is. a bit old fashioned as to spelling,
that "concise", really was meant to
be spelled "concice." Noah has been
our friend for many many years but
It Is true that times have changed.
Supper was announced and was enjoyed by everyone tho we wondered
if there would be enough cake after

awhile. After this feast a business

C. W. A. PROGRAM ON
RURAL SCHOOL SANITATION
DISCONTINUED FOR PRESENT
On account of the,-recent curtailment of the C. W. A; program work
on rural school sanitations and other
rural school improvements has been
discontinued for the present.
The work of the rural sanitation
program for private property owners
will continue as before.
Under this plan sanitary outside
toilet? Or septic tanks built .according' to specifications of. the U. S. Public Health * Service will be built with
C, W. A. labor; property owner
furnishing all'.material.
Most of this work will be accomplished in rural and resort districts
and   uncewered   towns   or  villages.
Some may question the use of C-
W. A. labor on private property, but
this, is explained by the fact that-it
is an attempt to eradicate dangerous
sources for the spread of disease
which makes it a public health prob-"
lem. In eliminating such unsanitary
structures it is necessary that they
be replaced by ones of sanitary, type.
Further information on, this project can be had from local C. W. A.

CLARE JOSSERS
DEFEAT GLADWIN
BY FIVE_ POINTS
Reed City Game Tonight
Expected to Give Fans
Many Thrills
The Clare High boys played - a
hang-up game of basketball Friday,
toight to defeat' the ''powerful Gladwin
team 29 to 24. Led • by the stellar
floor work of Bernard Ackerman and
aided by his ] fine basket shooting the
boys ran-up a lead of thirteen points
In the "first half—the score being 24
to 11. But the Gladwin boys showed
their accustomed fight even against
odds during the last half and crept
to. within, two points^ of tying the
score shortly^ before the close* of "the
game. But a' successful' free shot and
a basket put the. game on ice for the
local hoys.
It was a well played game, fast and
clean and exciting. It was a return
to the form displayed at Coleman
and Sti Louis which waB so lacking
in the* first half of the Evart game-
Tuesday?
There was fine team work on the
part of the boys and some good
guarding by Glllls and the rest of the
squad. Watson and Glllis started at
guards but the former was- off-form.
Ackerman replacing him. This move
proved very valuable for he made1
eleven points. Tupper was at centei
and Sanford and Bowler at forwards.
All gave a good account of themselves, in guarding as well as basket'
shooting. The team as a whole kept
their men well • covered allowing few
accurate shots.
The second team game was alsc
fast and furious with Gladwin on the
long end of the score. , The Clare'
guards were particularly good stopping many shots. The reserves offense was not as good as it should
have been showing a .lack of basket
shooting ability. It was a fast and-
exciting game throughout.
Reed City comes here tonight to
make it two games in a row over the
Clare team. The victory was only
14 to 6 at Reed City before the team
Was really started and unless they
have Improved as much as the local
team itt is believed that they may be
taken into camp. This, of course, il
the boys play as they did last Friday!
We issue an invitation tp come see
the High School team in action.
The Installation and consecration
of the Officers of the Congregational
church for 19$4 Sunday morning was
spoken of by many as being a very
impressive service.
After such a service the officers
feel in a very true' sense they are
partners with the Great Master of
men in the building up of His kingdom. •
Mrs. A. E. Wylie assisted the Pastor as conductress, and Miss Anna
May Smalley.. assisted at the organ.
The special anthem and the consecration hymn by the choir added
much to the occasion.
