SOCIAL CONDITIONS
IN RUSSIA TOPIC
AT STUDY CLUB
Rev. J. E. Lockyer, of Remus, Speaker at Tuesday
Afternoon Meeting
Tuesday afternoon, October 16th
the Clare Study Club met at the
pleasant home of Mrs. Daisley Goodman for their regular meeting and to
hear Rev. J. E. Lockyer speak on
Social conditions in Russia today.
The meeting was called to order by
the President, Mrs. Mary Green and
after the completion of the business
session, roll call was    answered    by
. current events in Russia.
Mrs. Daisley Goodman, program
chairman, presented Rev. Lockyer
who said in part, "of the social
changes in Russia today." In religion
and the church, the church is state
property, used only by license or permit on request. The people are allowed freedom of conscience at least
technically, but local administrators
use coercion that is anti religious.
Tn the'New Morality: There are
no enforced standards. All morality
is judged from the standpoint of the
social value and consequences.
Things are not wrong because they
violate a code but because they do
not further the interests of the communist policy.
In the new woman: Women are
equal with men in authority of home,
in industry, in civil rights, in education and in obligation, and opportunity to work.
In Education: illiteracy is being
abolished. In 1933 there were 24,-
000,000 children in school as against
4,793,000 in 1914-15. Adult education
of both sexes is being promoted and
eagerly sought. Reading of all sorts
is in greater demand than can be
supplied.
Literature for children is controlled as to kind produced, and is under
authority of The Literary Children's
Guild.
In leisure time: There are summer
camps for children. There are no
more classes in them for propaganda,
hiit there is more rest and play.
Movies are not commercialized; they
are not run for profit but for community instruction and entertainment. The only films from the United States allowed to be shown there
are those featuring Douglas Fairbanks, Chrn-lie Chaplain and Harold
Lloyd.
There is an increase of comedy in
literature and life;    more    dancing
and sentiment and an increase of re-,
laxation.    The tension   to    maintain
the Soviet system is relaxed.
Justice    is    administered    in    the
provinces    as    so-called      "Wayside
Courts"   "with    a    communist    party
Judge and  two  "Co-setters" who ques-

Michigan farmers participating in
the corn-hog reduction program this
year will receive benefits aggregating
?3,455,000v according to a statement
by the State Corn-Hog Board of Review-, ;which has just completed" its
final check of all counties. This
amount, less the local county administration expenses, will be distributed in three payments among the 24,-
500 "producers who signed the final
contracts.
Checks have already been distributed in -the counties that forwarded
their contracts during August and
the first week in" September. Although approximately one-half of the.
counties did not complete and ship
their contracts until the last two
weeks of the month, September 30
being the deadline for completion of
the program, the most of these should
receive their first installment of benefits during the next two weeks, as
checks for the first of the three payments are being distributed as rapidly as the contracts are checked and'
approved in the; Washington office.
The second and third payments are
scheduled to be made on November
15 and February 15,
The amount of corn contracted to
the Government and taken out of
production in Michigan was 77,125
acres with gross benefits amounting
to $777,400. The number of market
hogs under contract is 714,000 which
signers agreed to reduce by one-
fourth, or 178,500 head, in *1934.

nouncement in next weeks issue of The Sentinel for you.
Be Sure to See It
The Clare boys ran up .against very
stiff opposition at Reed City .last Friday and, although they scored a
touchdown, were outclassed. The
Reed City teaiii was a hard-driving,
slashing outfit which caused the Clare
lads plenty of trouble and there were
many black and blue spots to prove
the roughness.
The final score was 26 to 6 but
again the score does not tell the tale
Until the least few minutes the score
wad 13 to 6 and Clare had played as
good' a brand of ball as could be expected. But in a desperate attempt
to score they attempted to pass from
deep iii their own territory and two
Were intercepted for touchdowns.
The new backfield seemed to work
pretty .good, Glen Sanford was at
quarter, Stan Parish at one half ancl
Orris Presley at the other, with Rus->
sell Schlafley at full back. There
was Some nice blocking and fine ball
carrying by both backflelds. There
was plenty of hard tackling, too.
Clare touchdown came as a direct
result of a blocked punt. Clare had
started an offensive drive deep in
their own territory but was stopped
just short* of a touch'down. In kicking out P-2rcy Lansing broke through
and blocked the kick with the ever
alert Presley there to fall on it for
the score. This fine offensive drive
was started by the end-around play
and then c long pass to Parish who
was standlh'g near the side lines. But
Parish could hot get away to score
as he was tackied from behind within a few yards of me goal line. But
Percy Lansing furnished the fine blay
that gave Gl-ire it's first touchdown

of a series • that I
am preparing having to do with 'the
const itutional
amendments that
have been proposed and will be on
the ballot for the
consideration o f
the. voters in the
November election.
The Constitution of Michigan as"
proposed by the Constitutional Convention, was' adopted by the people
of the state at the November election
in the year of 1908 and is therefore
26 years old. Some changes have
been made in the- document by
amendments but ' the fundamentals
remain tho flairie.
Judge Thomas M. Cooley, the great
authority on the Constitution of the;
United States, in an address Said,
"The term 'Constitution' may be defined as the body of rules and
maxims iii accordance .with which
sovereignty is  exercised."
This means, in plain language, that
the constitution is a great plan of government and upon this authority the
legislatures make the laws and they
must be in keeping with this plan of
government or the supreme court will
(By Miles M. Callaghan) ,. /. '
This is the first$declare them unconstitutional whfcle..,
means they are out of step and not in
keeping with the plan adopted by the
people. Therefore, any change or
amendment in this fundamental docit-
meht should be studied carefully, an*
the voters should not wait until elec-
tion day to make up their minds its'
to which amendments should be>
adopted or rejected.
It was clearly the intention of
those who drafted the constitution of
the state of Michigan that it eoulel
not be easy to amend and only a majority of the voters at a general election can amend this document aSdP,
that is as it should be. I am therefore preparing this series of articles-
explaining to your readers just what
these amendments mean and. what;
they are attempting to do and the
result if these various amendments'-
are adopted. And let it be known-that*
I am not discussing these &mertdU
ments as they will appear on the.tt.al'-
lot by number hut in my last* article.
I will attempt to boil down ait off/
these proposals so that it will "be;
easy to distinguish them on the bal--
lot. The first proposal I am to elf*.-
cuss is the so-called
Home   Rule   Amendment
This proposal is to add a new section  to Article 8 of the Qonstifcutiou
