WORK BEING ARRANGED AT SCHOOL
If Sufficient Number Enroll
Classes to Open Next
Monday
The following letter was mailed to
sixty-eight recent graduates of Clare
High School the past week. Response
from Farwell and Harrison and Coleman indicates real interest in those
communities on the project.. It is
necessary to enroll forty pupils in
order to set-up the College. Clare will
need to provide at least twenty of
that number. Many have felt unable to go to college but when the
college comes to them, at no cost,
then there should be a hearty response. "The school will open Monday, October 8, at 9:30 in the Clare
High School Auditorium providing
sufficient number enroll. We hope
Clare will not fail in this worthy program.

Dear friend:—-
The Federal Government is making
it possible for you to obtain a year
of college work right here in Clare,
You will be able to carry a complete
Freshman College course which may
later be transferred to any college or
University.
The plan is simply this:—Desiring
to aid unemployed, needy teachers
and desiring to assist high school
graduates financially unable to attend college, the Federal Government through the Federal Emergency
{Relief Administration is establishing
Bo called Freshman Colleges. They,
the government are to furnish qualified teachers from the relief rolls
and the local administration is to
furnish suitable space light, heat,
.supplies, etc. The student must provide his own books and supplies, and
that is all. Not a tuition charge.
^There must be at least 40 enrolled.
You may take one, two three, or four
subjects; The suggested subjects
are: Freshman English (Composition); American Jllstpry; Mathematics (College Algebra, Analytics,
H'rigouometry); French; Economics;
Rural Sociology; and possibly one or
two others. All will be presented on
a college level. At least ten students
will be re<_uh*ed in any one subject
before a class will be organized in
that subject. The instruction will
be under the supervision of the faculty of Central State Teachers College. Students will be required to
pass the same examinations at the
end of each twelve week term as students enrolled at Mt. Pleasant.
Farwell, Harrison, Coleman, and
Clare are cooperating in this project
with-the Freshman College to be located at Clare.
We plan to open the actual class
work in the College Monday, October 8. Your enrollment must be in my
hands, by Thursday, October , 4, at
noon. . We have tried to reach as
many, as .possible by telephone. We
are sending this letter to a list of
recent graduates who may be interested. You .will be helping if you will
get in touch with your friends and
interest them in this venture. If you

LOAD OF ADULT TROUT
TO BE PLANTED AT
BRIDGE NORTH OF CLARE
Senator Ben Carpenter, of Harrison, this week informs The Sentinel
that he has arranged with the State
Conservation department to have a
load of adult trout planted at the
Clare bridge and another load in the
Middle Branch river at Marion, before- the present distribution season
closes.
This will give these two streams a
considerable boost in trout and will
surely be appreciated by the sportsmen who visit the communities.

TO ONE JVEDNESDAY
Three Others Receive
Severe Cuts and Bruises
in Head-on Collision
One man was killed, two others injured and a woman seriously cut and
bruised in ah automobile crash that
occurred two and one half miles
south of Rosebush on U. S. 27 about
/four o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
'The accident occurred when Ed
Campbell, with Sakey Belieke as a
passenger, was driving a Chrysler
coach south, crashed head-on with a
ruodel A. Ford coach driven by Samuel Mater, with Mr. and Mrs. Calvin
Ankney,, of near Coleman, as passengers, driving north,
Mr. Belieke was killed almost In
stantly while Campbell appeared to
be uninjured, Mr. Mater 'was badly
cut and bruised and was taken to the
Mt. Pleasant hospital for attention.
Mr, and Mrs. Ankney were rushed to
Ann Arbor hospital owing to the seriousness of their injuries. Mrs.
Ankney" was badly lacerated about
her head when in the impact she was
partially forced through the windshield. This couple will be remembered as farmer residents of Vernon
and Grant township.

house, forced his way past the lady
of the home, and went to bed, where
Deputy Sheriff Fitzpatrick of Isabella

found him later.
DR. SWENGEL GIVES
FURTHER DETAIL OF
NEW HEALTH UNIT
Question Will be Brought
Up for Discussion Before Supervisors
"The general interest of the people
in the contemplated tri-county health
unit is a great satisfaction to me.
jEvery body I spoke to last week
labout the matter understood the
value of the service and approved of
its adoption," said Dr. Swengel of
Beaverton, "The idea is definitely
sold to the peoRle. Ever since state
aid became available in 1929 Michigan has made rapid strides toward
completion protection. 32 counties
now have fulltime health servicer
Why should any county stay out of
the movement. Informed people often inquire of State Health Departments about health conditions in
counties they contemplate becoming
residents of. No State Commissioner
can speak with assurance in favor ot
counties not so protected. Arenac,
Gladwin, and Clare with lakes,
streams, and., forests with the abundance of fish-and game .therein are vacation counties. These natural resources should be sold to all vacationists. - People who thus come to
reside with us seeking sport and
health should receive what they pay
for, and return to their homes to become boosters for our counties."
"No matter how ill-informed a man
may be there is not an individual in
the country' who does not profit by
the modern health movement," further declared Dr. Swengel. "25' years
ago the span of human life was 33
years but now it is close to 6.. When
I was a boy a man of 70 was very old
and few people reached such an advanced age, but a man of 70 now may
still have 10 or even 20 years more
to live. The truth about healthy living published in press and magazines
and taught to the children in schools
has reached all of our people. They
swallow it whole and act on their
•knowledge which explains why they
live longer today. Our people are
just as worth while as in any other
counties of the State. Our resources
are less and it is for Us the Kellog
\and Children's Fund have been
established by men of great sympathy
for their fellow1 men to preserve us
from unnecessary . contagion ancj
death and thereby promote our per.
sonal happiness and economic value
in building up our communities. Supervisors will be well advised to secure
this protection for us. The approval
of the people will be their reward.

Sacred Heart *Hand Defeat
to Local Lads in Scrappy
Game Last Friday
The Clare high football players
showed vast improvement over their
opening game although they meet jie-
•feat Friday. The score, was 19 to 0
but does not half tell the tale of the
remarkable showing". The offensive
power of Sacred Heart was fairly
well stopped except on rare occasions. On these -occasions the speed
of the opposing backfield literally out-
sprinted Clare's defense. Clare's -line
out-played and out fought a game opponent line but when a touchdown,
came in sight the backfield could not
get away to score.
Clare made nine first downs to seven for Sacred Heart and the total
yardage from scrimmage probably exceeded that of the opposition although no accurate check was made.
The chief threat of Sacred Heart was
their swift backfield men, particularly Moore and Campbell, who time and
again ran back punts for long distances and on two occasions intercepted passes for touchdowns without a hand laid on them.
Saerejl Hearts first touchdown
came in the opening quarter when a
Clare punt was returned nearly to
Glare's goal. A short pass Anally put
the ball over. The other two touchdowns were gifts when Clare passes
were intercepted for scores.
The fight and scrap displayed by
Clare's line was pleasing to see. Several times an opposing lineman was
laid low due to hard charging and;
blocking. The backfield also played
a fine game but did not have the
speed and power to get away for

DR. SWENGEL GIVES FURTHER DETAIL OF NEW HEALTH UNIT Question Will be Brought Up for Discussion Before Supervisors "The general interest of the people in the contemplated tri-county health unit is a great satisfaction to me. jEvery body I spoke to last week labout the matter understood the value of the service and approved of its adoption" said Dr. Swengel of Beaverton, "The idea is definitely sold to the peoRle. Ever since state aid became available in 1929 Michigan has made rapid strides toward completion protection. 32 counties now have fulltime health servicer Why should any county stay out of the movement. Informed people often inquire of State Health Departments about health conditions in counties they contemplate becoming residents of. No State Commissioner can speak with assurance in favor ot counties not so protected. Arenac, Gladwin, and Clare with lakes, streams, and., forests with the abundance of fish-and game .therein are vacation counties. These natural resources should be sold to all vacationists. - People who thus come to reside with us seeking sport and health should receive what they pay for, and return to their homes to become boosters for our counties." "No matter how ill-informed a man may be there is not an individual in the country' who does not profit by the modern health movement" further declared Dr. Swengel. "25' years ago the span of human life was 33 years but now it is close to 6.. When I was a boy a man of 70 was very old and few people reached such an advanced age, but a man of 70 now may still have 10 or even 20 years more to live. The truth about healthy living published in press and magazines and taught to the children in schools has reached all of our people. They swallow it whole and act on their •knowledge which explains why they live longer today. Our people are just as worth while as in any other counties of the State. Our resources are less and it is for Us the Kellog \and Children's Fund have been established by men of great sympathy for their fellow1 men to preserve us from unnecessary . contagion ancj death and thereby promote our per. sonal happiness and economic value in building up our communities. Supervisors will be well advised to secure this protection for us. The approval of the people will be their reward.

CLARE MEETS ST. LOUIS TODAY ON HOMIDIRON Sacred Heart *Hand Defeat to Local Lads in Scrappy Game Last Friday The Clare high football players showed vast improvement over their opening game although they meet jie- •feat Friday. The score, was 19 to 0 but does not half tell the tale of the remarkable showing". The offensive power of Sacred Heart was fairly well stopped except on rare occasions. On these -occasions the speed of the opposing backfield literally out- sprinted Clare's defense. Clare's -line out-played and out fought a game opponent line but when a touchdown, came in sight the backfield could not get away to score. Clare made nine first downs to seven for Sacred Heart and the total yardage from scrimmage probably exceeded that of the opposition although no accurate check was made. The chief threat of Sacred Heart was their swift backfield men, particularly Moore and Campbell, who time and again ran back punts for long distances and on two occasions intercepted passes for touchdowns without a hand laid on them. Saerejl Hearts first touchdown came in the opening quarter when a Clare punt was returned nearly to Glare's goal. A short pass Anally put the ball over. The other two touchdowns were gifts when Clare passes were intercepted for scores. The fight and scrap displayed by Clare's line was pleasing to see. Several times an opposing lineman was laid low due to hard charging and; blocking. The backfield also played a fine game but did not have the speed and power to get away for (Continued on Page Ten) CHURCH OF GOD PLAN RALLY DAY OBSERVANCE IN SUNDAY SCHOOL Special Program Has Been Prepared and Goal Set for 110 The Church of God Sunday School is- putting forth special effort this week; through publicity and personal visitation committees for a record breaking attendance, next Sunday, October 7th, The goal which is set is 110.
