BOOK REVIEW AT
STUDYJLUB TUES.
Members are Invited to Join
With Harrison Club on
May 14th
The Clare Study Club met Tuesday,
April 30 at the lovely home of Mrs,
Pearl Sanford.
The program chairman, Mrs. Goodman announced that the next meeting will be with Mrs. Burt Greer on
May 21. This meeting has been postponed one week as the Club is invited to Harrison on the 14th. The
Women's Club of Harrison, will entertain the Clare Club at Mrs. Gardiner's home.
After a short business meeting the
President announced the following
program;
Piano solos, Nocturne, McFayden,
Rustle of Spring by Sinding, Margaret Morgan. Miss Morgan played
beautifully and the club thoroughly
enjoyed her numbers.
Mrs. Green then introduced Mrs,
Hannah Vowles, of Mt. Pleasant, who
gave us a splendid book review, "The
Proselyte" by Susan Ertz- is a story
written about a young Morman missionary who goes to Lotion and
thence to Switzerland and gathers a
largo band of converts to take back
to the Holy City. He marries in England and takes his bride, also a convert, back with him;' The story surrounds these two main characters
with their family. It relates the
story of their hard sad pilgrimage to
Utah in 1852 when they encountered
all the hardships of frontier travels.
The author is an English woman
who later lived in United States near
Salt Lake City and made a thorough
study of the Mormans and their faith.
Also one does not believe with them
one can not help but admire the
faith, steadfastness, and courage
portrayed by these young disciples o:
John Smith. The story shows what
a strong and appealing personality
must have been the guiding power in
this strong movement. The question
of plural marriage and its effects is
portrayed vividly. It is a very human story and perhaps the best that
Susan Ertz has given us.
The Club members were so happy
■to have Mrs. Vowles with us, alsc
Mrs. LaClear, president of the Women's Club of Mt. Pleasant, who came
with Mrs. Vowles. A short discussion followed the review.
The Junior high girls then sang
three delightful numbers. Lois
Lange accompanied at the piano.
Mrs. Tichenor and Mrs. Fleming
the hostess, Mrs. Sanford in serving
a delightful lunch.
The members showed by their good
attendance that they expected a treat
and were not disappointed in any
way.
• Members please keep in mind the
Harrison meeting May 14th and the
Mother's meeting May 21st.

CITIZENS MEET IN
INTEREST OF TAFT
MEMORIAL HIGHWAY
W. L. Park is Highly Commended for Support Given at Winter Meeting
Echoes of the big meeting held in
Port Myers recently for the boosting
of the Taft Highway, extending from
Northern Michigan to Fort Myers,
were heard at the City Hall last Saturday morning, when representatives
from the association formed for the
above purpose spoke briefly.
Mayor Jess Hampton called the
meeting to order and stated briefly
the object of the meeting, then introduced Mr. Frank Holder, Executive
Vice President of the Taft Memorial
Highway Association.
The speaker pointed out that much
had been accomplished towards
establishing the great Highway.
Efforts are being made to have the
Federal government take over this
project; some states have ratified the
idea, Michigan being among them.
Fifteen thousand dollars have" already been spent in this movement
/the none of that amount had been
used for salaries. A further sum ol
money is required to push this matter to completion, and as Clare had
not been called upon to make any
contribution up to the present, it
was hoped they would see their way
to do 30 at this time.
Mr. Holder paid high tribute to the
services of Mr. W. L Park at the
meeting at Fort Myers. He regarded

(Dr. E. V. Thiehoff)
This week we wish to continue the
discussion of the control of the communicable disoases. Egch township,
village and city has its local Health
officer. It is not the intention of tht|
Michigan Department of Health that
the Director of this- Health Unilj
shall replace any of tp.e local, health
officers in these three counties. Obviously it would be impossible for any
one man to replace all of these health
officers in such a large district in
their work of quarantining and
placarding cases of contagious dis-t
easeB, in looking up contacts, in making out reports of casies, etc. For example, if a case of scarlet fever wero

Fire, which is thought to have
caught near a chimney in the kitchen
destroyed the home of Peter, Flood
three miles south and one-half west
of Clare about 5:30 o'clock Sunday
afternoon, causing a loss of about
$3000. Only a few articles of furniture were saved.
Mr. • Flood and his daughter, Miss
Marie, were sitting in the front room,
when they heard a .cracking noise
and upon investigating found the rear
of the home on fire. In his effort td
extinguish the blaze, Mr. Flood's
clothing took fire and before they
could be put out he was severely
burned about the leg and right nana
Miss Marie, who was home for the
week end from the Brondstetter hospital at Mt. Pleasant, where she is?
studying for a nurse, was also badly
burned about the right hand while
assisting her father to extinguish hii}
clothing. Both were treated at the
Clare County General hospital by Dr.
Wood, but it will be several weeks,
before Mr. Flood will be able to resume his work.
The rural fire truck made the run
and in spite of a south wind that
blew fire brands into the buildings,
they were able to save the barns and
tool shed. The loss is partially covered by insurance.

REVIEWS SOUTHERN
TRIP AH. L. CLUB
Girls Glee Club Also Add
Much   to   Interest of
Meeting
Mrs. Hardld Fleming opened her
spacious home for the April 23 meeting of the Clare Good Literature Club.
A splendid attendance was present
and several members of the Clare
Study Club were guests. The president, Mrs. Adelaide Wylie conducted
the business session and heard the
reports from the several committees.
Miss Hetzman directed the Girls Glee,
Olub of the city school as they sans}
two songs, entitled, Emitte Spiritum-
tuum by Schuetky, ancl Wi-um (a
Pueblo Lullaby) by Thurlow Lieur-
ance. These numbers were munh
enjoyed.
Prof. Larzalere of Central State
Teachers College, Mt. Pleasant, was
introduced as tiie speaker of the evening. He gave a very interesting
talk on his trip to Florida this winter. Prof. Larzalere stated that one
could drive there in four or five days,
having paved roads practically all the
way. Mountains could be avoided
by those who did not care to drive
thru them- In comparing Michigan
with Florida, Mr. Larzalere said:
Both have longest shore lines and
most inland lakes of any of the states.
Geographically Florida is newer than
the northern part of our state. It is
made up mostly of coral rocks. The
earliest settlement in Florida was in
3-603 by Ponce deLeon, a Spaniard;
Michigan's first settlers were French
in 1634. The two states are opposite
in scenery and in productions. Florida is known for its citrus fruits
which are shipped out in large quantities, but meat and milk are shipped
in. He stated that milk was 15 and
16 cents per quart during his visit
there. The trees are very tender
many were killed by Irosts, last December, altho fires were built to protect them. Cattle and pigs of .the
lean and lanky type run in the roads.
St. Petersburg is a great resort and
considered a "good" city. There is
no gambling there—people go to
church, two services are held in tht
morning and two in the evening and
one must go exceptionally early to be
assured a seat. Miami entertains c
much different class, the sporting
crowd, where bathing ancl wate*.
sports, and fishing attract wealth.
Mr. Larzalere closed by saying he
was glad to return to Michigan where
people move faster and accomplish
more in a shorter tiino. Many questions were asked about this southern
state and much discussion followed.
A comittee consisting of Mesdames
Foell and Fleming and Miss Gerow
served refreshments.

evening, William Richmond met
death when his car turned over on
the Gladwin road curve, pinning him
beneath the running board, lt is be-„
lieved that the accident occurred
about 8:30 as he was seen nearby a
short time before this correcting
some fault with his car.
Mr. Richmond had been working
on a road job in the day time and
fishing near Houghton lake at night
and it is thought that he had went to
sleep a moment before reaching the
curve.
The accident was discovered by
Harry Rogers, undertaker at Gladwin, who was returning to his home
after attending a district convention
held at Clare that evening, Mr. Rogers notified Coroner Dr. G. E. Lamb,
of Farwell, who with Deputy Sheriff
Henry Doll, decided that his death
was purely accidental.
William Franklin Richmond, son of
Tressa and Ira Richmond, was born
in Arthur township, Clare county,
August 30, 1899, and passed from this
life, April 25, 1935, at the age of 3ff
years, 8 months and 6 days.
His entire life was lived in Clare
county, where he had a large circle
of friends.
He was united in marriage to Miss
Mildred Joslin, December 22, 1932.
To this union were born two children,
Norris and Helen.
Besides the wife and two children,
he is survived by his father and
mother, three brothers, Arthur, Of
Coleman, and Clifford and Clinton, of
Clare; five sisters, Mrs. Ethel Fall, o£
Midland; Mrs. Edith Jenkins, of Sanford; Mrs. Myrtle Hardy, Mrs. Ella.
Hanley, and Mrs. Dorothy Wilkie, of
Clare. '
He was always known among his'
many friends • as a jolly fellow, who
was ever ready in time of need, and
by his genial disposition he "had gained a large circle of friends, who will
miss "Bill" from their midst.
Funeral services were   held   from
the Arthur hall Sunday afternoon   at
2:00   o'clock,  Rev.   Chas.  Kleinhardt ,.
officiating and interment made in the
Arthur cemetery.
Those from a distance who attended the "funeral were Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Cook and Mr. and Mrs. Morris
Cook and son, of Imlay City.
Oh!   Dear husband, son and brother,
Who was taken from our midst,
But the sturdy hand that guides us
Knew who loved "Bill" the best-
He was taken very sudden,
Without warning to his mate
But we know the heavenly father
was waiting at the golden gate. =
He was a kind and loving father*
To his children and his home,
And his many friend, will miss hiirt
While the dear ones left to mourji.
