GLARE MICHIGAN, FRIOAV MORNING, APRIL 6, X»/
CLUB MEMBERS ENJOY SCREEN FILMS
SHOWING BIRD LIFE
Pictures Were Secured Thru
Prof. Barrows of Michigan State College
The Clare Study Club gave another
one' of their splendid educational and
pleasing programs, Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Sarah
Schaeffer. Mrs^'Susan Hall was as-
sistant hostess. "The subject considered was our Michigan land birds. Mrs.
Mary Green, President opened the
meeting and Mrs-'JKulder, chairman ol
the Library ' AssftQjrition announced
the nominating;'committee for the As
aociation as Mrs*"' Adelaide -Wylie,
Mrs. Mary Green '. ana"- Mrs. Emma
Harris.
Mrs. Nellie Sherwood, chairman of.
the program,- called, upon Mrs.'Wylie
to furnish the music. It was in form
of bird records- from, the Victrola
which were delightful, giving the call
and songs "of many beautiful songsters. Mrs. Sherwood had obtained
the help of Mrs. Genevieve Fleming.
who had, collected many charts with
colored, pictures of most of our familiar birds arranged in . families whictt
were placed where all could see them
The ladies-had.procured a ".projection
machineVWhich - Mrs. Slier wood, operated'and the pictures of bur birds
and their nests were thrown on .a
screenj It also showed a chart placing birds next to mammals as the
most important living creatures on
earth. To illustrate the importance
of protecting birds one slide informed us that in the state of Pennsylvania at one time, a certain owl was'
.not protected and the state found that
the destruction caused by the pests
eaten by that oivl cost the state over
£1,000,000 and loss"to each* farmer
over ?1,000.' The state then changed
their law and protected this owl. The
only species considered a menace
now is the great horned owl. The
meadow lark and quail are invaluabjn
to the farmer because they eat the
insects that destroy grain. . Many
birds such as the robin and cedar
wax wing' have^ibeeii .proved to destroy enough insect pests and worms
to.more than pay for the fruit they
devour. The horned lark is the first
bird to build its nest in the spring.
The evening Grosbeaks that visit us
in large flocks late in winter and eat
maple and cedar tree seeds, have
been .observed in Clare . lately.. The
lazies. bird is the cow bird, as thej
build no nests, hut lay their eggs in
small' birds nests, and when their
young, hatch they throw the young oi-
the owner of the nest out and it is
left to starve. The ring necked
pheasant is imported from 'China..
The Grouse is remarkable for its
habit of drumming while perched on
a J.og,_ during the' mating season. It is
•a rare privilege''to surprise one in tho
act, though youvcan of tea hear them.
The'ruby throated humming bird is
the smallest and. daintiest bird and
builds a nest' comparable to a jewel
chest. Several ladies present report
ed humming birds building nests in
their yards. . The usefulness of thie
bird is in pollination of flowers. Ii
i_ the- only variety in North America
but 'South America has many species.
•The whip-poor-will is the most ex
treme example of protective colora
tion. When Lhis bird is sitting on a
dead-log or on its liest In dead leaves
it can hardly be distinguished from
its'.•-■ surroundings. The chimney
swift," the bird that, builds its,tuest in
chimneys, never lights on tlie ground
and does not' belong to the swallow
family.
Tlie, pictures were delightful aud
Mrs. Sherwood and Mrs. Fleming conducted the lecture and machine in a
splendid manner. Many important
facts were brought to attention thai
were enlightening to the audience
One point noted was that in building
wren houses it is an improvement ii
a long slit, is made in the house
whore the wrens can carry in long-
sticks, as they drop many to the
ground when they 'cannot get them in
the hole generally made for the
houses^.
The' meeting adjourned to meet in
Miss Peirce's room at' the school
house in two weeks when *a Girl anc!
Boy Scouts program will be present

The efforts of the Girls .Glee Club
and -the'group of young men of the
Clare public .school proved very successful when they staged the operetta, "The Count and the Coed", last
week .Thursday evening, A splendid
audience was preserit to witaess its
presentation,
The stage setting was of a collegfi
campus with its beautiful stream ant)
willowly trees shadowing its banks.
Japanese lanterns and rustic benches)
gave it a gay appearance, toge.thei
with the colored'light effect thrown
upon the stage from the balcony.
The first appearance of the group
on the stgge showed all as students
modestly dressed in school clothes aud
their second appearance displayed i

about their May day Activities.

pected at the college. The outspoken, remarks of the college presf
dent and his wife, Dale Randall and
Maxine Krell about Snooze when in

rassing positions, Their daughter.
Dolly, Rose Marie Jackson, Was very
attractive as she was. crowned May
Queen by Snooze; the sedateness ol
the: housemother, Esther Chaffee
could not have been improved upon.
Elizabeth Feighner was very sweet
in her part as belle of the cammu

parts. William Murphy comes in for
no .small word of praise for his, part
as leader of the Glee Club. Snooze
was forgiven for his much sidestep

'forj the continuing of the college was
secured by his kindness to the Countf
when he encountered motor trouble
enroute to the college, but which trip1
was never accomplished, and for- his
reward he asked for the hand of the
president's daughter, Dolly, the thot*-
of which haa been very displeasing
to her parents in early school life.
Miss Maxine Jones and Miss Glerum nimbly touched the keys of the
piano all thru tiie performance.

Two unique numbers which must
not be omitted was the "first public

which favored with three pleasing
selections.
E. J. DOUGLAS REAPPOINTED CARETAKER
OF FEEDING PONDS
30Q,0001 Trout Expected to
Be Placed in Pond North
of Clare This Summer
WJord was received this week that
E, J. Douglas, of the Federal Bureau
of Fisheries, of Northville, had been
reappointed to superintendent th.
Clare county feeding ponds, eleven
miles north of Clare this summer.
Last fall, through labor furnished
by the CCC Camp No, -1613 at Harrison and superintended by Aft Sheffield, a new ditch 10 feet wide and 300
feet long was dug and curbed at these
ponds which will provided much
more space for feeding a greater
number of the tiny finy tribe,
Last year over 131,500 trout 5 to 6
inches in length were taken from this
pond and distributed in Clare county
streams and it is expected that ovei
300,000 feeders will be cared for at
these ponds during the coming season.. *-
Both the sporting club's of Clare
and Harrison are working to get the
property owners along- the Middle
and North branches of the Tobaccc
river signed up in order to that
natural feeding beds may be estab
lished in these streams.
Mr. Douglas is an expert in the car-
ing of fish and the many friends he
has made in Clare county will sure
welcome his return.    '

Local Pastors
The Easter service at the Congre-
^aiigttal cjjurch^was .yej-yunique,jn .a
way.' It Just seemed as if everybody
put themselves into. the service to
make it the best. The choir with
their music, the people with their attendance and the Pastor with his
message which goes to show what
cooperation can do.
'The Baptism service was very ini
■pressive. All the' parents came with
their children which showed the sin"
cerity of their belief in this ordin
ance.
Quite a number of strangers and
'Visitors were present, we hope they
Svill return so that ye can get better
acquainted'.
This was a service which will long
be remembered.
The services for Easter Sunday, al
the Baptist church were in keeping
with the spirit of the day. A good
attendance was present at all foui
services. In the evening ten young
people and one mother celebrated the
sacred rite of baptism by emersion.
The pageant, The Triumph of Love,
was directed by Mrs. Cora Wilson ai
the Church of God and, also at the
Brewer school house depicting
Christ's life and resurrection.
The Gilmore Church of Christ gave
a pleasing pageant, The - Resurrection which was also the "farewell service of their pastor, Rev. Ira Crewd-
.son, who leaves for a new pastoratq

The group leaders of the several
classes in the county taking work
through the Michigan State Collego
Home Economics department were
instructed in their fifth lesson on
March 28th when their topic for study
was "Living with Pictures." This was
a very instructive lesson as a summary for the winter ' study. Lesson
topics studied during the winter
course were, Selection of Upholstery
and slip cover material; making o3
slip covers and reupholstering of ola
furniture; refhiishing furniture; ' ancl
.window treatment,
The state leader, Miss Frieda Gil
more brought out the facts- very plainly that pictures were not to. be used
merely as beautiful wall' decorations
but they, should be chosen to makn
surroundings happier and your ideals
higher. Choose pictures that are,
worthy of continued notice and used
only a tew pictures at a time, hanging then at an eye level. In.hanging
several pictures in a room the tops oi|
the bottoms of the frames may be on
the level or it may be hung so that
the center of interest is approximately on the level. Any of the three
methods is correct.
Plans were made for the Achieve
ment day -program which will be held
at the Clare Methodist church May
fourth. This is an all day meeting
and visitors are invited to see whaf
work has been accomplished in thestf
five lessons.

State   Makes  Collections
The state makes money by spending- money. This statement is substantiated by records of the gasoline
tax. division of the Department ot
State. In 1931, a total of $23,830,271
was collected at a cost of 22-100 per
bent* While $2,333,187 was paid out in
refunds'.
In 193S, $119,000 was spent in pressing 'the state's suit to collect $1,600,-
000 from the Standard Oil Company
$21,75f,834 was collected in taxes but
to a'thore i'lgid system of investigating' refund applications, refunds were
reduced to §1,3.9, 385. Because of the
cost of the law suit and the additional, cost of investigating refunds, the
cost of collection amounted to 51-100
per cent,.
Last year $20,460,256 was collected
at a cost of 4:10 per cent while, refunds we're reduced to  $1,001,79S.
These records show that by the additional expenditure of about $55,000
a year, the state's net revenue has
been incr.asedby more than $1,000,-
000 a year,       '     *
