GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE TO LEGISLATURE SUMMARIZED
■Both Houses Now Organized and Ready for
^Business
SEN.
ON SEVEN COM-
BHTTEESfOR 1935
Heads  Conservation   and
Penal   Institutions   as
Chairman
As provided in the constitution,
the fifty-eightE Michigan legislature
got under way on the first Wednesday
in January with the organization of
t)oth houses^ fhen a joint session to
hear the Governor's message and
then ready for business.
I feel that the message of Governor
Frank D, Fitzgerald was an outstanding: document-aid if %be recommendations made therein are enacted into
law, lasting, good will result ,;for all oi
.the p&pole of th& state Of course the
sStthj'eet of finance AM taxation con-
perns every person of the state and
the economics ..recommended by the
Govenor miist be. enacted into law
and these economies put into force oi1
dire Tesults are sure-to follow. His
recommendation for a balanced budget, which means that a certain
-amount of money mus.t be set aside
•for the government of the "State and-
each department must live within
their budget and a unification, .oi-
.state finance and an effective control
of all state funds. It is the Governor's purpose that at -the close oi
business every day the condition oi
the state finance can be shown. This
Is a reasonable, business-like proposition and will meet the approval of
the people, He also proposes thq
elimination of non-essentials in government indicating that we have too
many of the so-called frills which
must be sought out and eliminated
and a general re-organization of state
government along the lines adopted,
by modern business organizations
and to bring this about he .advocates
the repeal of the law creating the
State Administrative Board. The
usefulness of this body Is a subject
for discussion but in the past two
years they have assumed the duties
of the legislature and disregarded
their expressed wishes. For example,
the legislature might make an appropriation of a certain sum of monej
lor a public building but in many instances the State Administrative
:i}oard might utterly disregard this;
appropriation and build such an institution aa would best suit their
wishes and this has caused widespread dissatisfaction. In fact, they'
have been captain, cook and crew o3
?the old 'ship of the state of Michigan
'to such an extent that the Governor
now proposes to abolish the organization and. it's altogether likely that he.
'will.
The Governor's message indicates
that a primary education is of the
.most importance and that the higher
'•education is a secondary proposition.
■f. Therefore, he proposes that the so-
called primary r schools, which of
■ course Includes h'lgh schools, are his.

That Glare county will be well
represented on the various committees fof the State Legislature was asJ
swed last week when Senator Ben
Carpenter, won appointment to several ranking committees.
Senator Carpenter was made chairman of both the Conservation and
Penal Institution committees and a
member of the following five committees of the Senate;
Blind and Deaf. ,
Elections.
Federal Relations.
Industrial Schools.
Liquor Control.
Due to the fact that the 28th Senatorial district has conservation as
one of its principal problems, Mr.
Carpenter will be in a position ty
give the people his serious consideration on all matters pertaining thereto.

RESPECTED ARTHUR
RESIDENT DEPARTS
THIS LIFE FRIDAY
Funeral Services Held   for
Mrs. Frank Acre Sunday Afternoon
Emma Jane Abbott was born in Lapeer "county, June 16, 1867, and departed this life January 11, 1935, at
her home in Arthur township. Sho
had been a patient sufferer for th&
past several weeks, although not confined to her bed until Wednesday
when she was taken suddenly worse
and passed to her reward Friday
morning at one o'clock.
In 1886, she was united in marriage
to Frank Acre and to thi3 union were
born four children, Mrs: Thurman
Robinett, of Grant; John, of Harrison; Kathyrn Mickle, and Frank, who
with the husband preceded her in
death twelve years ago Besides the
daughter and son, 'who are left to
morn her death, are ten grandchildren and* sisters, Mrs. Fred Doty
and Mrs. James Mizer, of Pontiac;
and brother, Wmi Abbott, of Hatton
together with other relatives and a
host of of friends. '

Sunday afternoon at the Doherty funeral parlors by Rev. Chas. Kleinhardt.
and interment made in Cherry Grove
cemetery, Clare. Mrs. E. Green and
Mrs, Roy Gordon sang several beautiful hymns. Mrs, Forest Garver presided at the piano.
The Glare High basket ball players
met the strong Gladwin team and
lost to the tune of 43 to 13. However
the Clare team was not at full
strength due to the loss of Tupper,
who handlos the center position very
capably. Other conditions were not
conducive to Clare's type of basketball, the floor being the bigger drawback. The floor is unusually wide
and longer than our own with a rather low celling. "
The boys have nothing to kick
about and are looking forward to the
return game near the end of. the season.
Tho second team also Idst their
