Where true love shall not drooj,

NEGOTIATIONS UNDER
WAY TO USE GAS
FROM McKAY FIELD
iQas Corporation Considering Pipe" Line to Clare
for Open Market
The Gas Corporation of Michigan,
at Mt. Pleasant, which operates a
branch office in this city, and James
McKay, of Detroit, have been considering a contract whereby the Gas
company will purchase gas irom the
McKay field, The contract we understand has been signed in Detroit-
and by all cviden-je it is sure that the
many millions of feet of gas now cap-
_u-d will be placed upon the market.
The officials of the Gas Company
are awaiting for a permit from the
State Public Utilities Commission for
the construction of a pipeline to
this city.
Gas was first discovered in 1929 by
Mr. McKay while testing for oil and
later six other wells were added with
aggregate production of over 31,00<y
000 cubic feet. Gas is found ut
about an 1400 foot average.
Opening of this field undoubtedly
will bring more drilling in this com
munity.

Activities
POOD REQUIREMENTS FOR
GROWTH AND. DEVELOPMENT
' Foods perform three * functions.
They build the body, they regulate
its functions and protect it against
certain diseases, and they furnish
energy or fuel for its activities.
During the periods of growth, including the mother's diet before baby
is born and the child's first eighteen
years of life, the body's need for the
building and protective food elements is at its height. ,.
Certain foods that supply these
factors are particularly important
and should form the basis for the
diets given the mother, infant and
child. These foods are: milk, fruits
(especially oranges and lemons)
vegetables; whole grain cereals; cod
liver oil, and eggs.
Milk is the most nearly perfect of
ali foods and is the cornersfcbhe, ot
all diets. It supplies^ the best .type
of protein, used in building muscle
tissue and necessary to the life of
body cells, and, is the best source of
calcium (lime), u§ed by all tissues,
but .needed especially for bones and
teeth. Milk is also, an important
source of phd*sphorus, which the body
requires with" calcium for body tissues and teeth and bones.
The butter, fat of milk contains
vitamin A, a protective food factor

trees for their reunion July 4th. It
being the "thirteenth" annual occasion did not mar the interest ana
enthusiasm of those present. Long
tables were spread in the shades and
the sight of the many baskets of
food and freezers of ice cream seemed to whet the appetites of old and
young. At least all were very busy
doing their part in emptying the
many tasty dishes, after being seat
ed.
A brief time was spent with the
program prepared, and the water was
most attractive, in spite of the many
tans and sunburns it was about to
leave as a gentle reminder.

V0ELKER ANSWERS
ELUOTTT CHARGE
Democrat Holds He Should
Remain in Office Until
Successor is Elected
According to the State Journal Dr
Paul F. Voelker late Tuesday filed
an answer to quo-warranto proceedings instituted by Dr. Eugene Elliott,
ah appointee of Governor Fitzgerald
to the office of state Superintendent
of public instruction. Elliott was appointed following the degth oi'
Maurice R. Keyworth in an auto accident a'-few days before he was tc
take office July- 1. Keyworth was
elected to the office last spring.
Voelker contends he is entitled to
the office despite the governor's ap»
pointmeiit of Elliott.
In his reply filed Tuesday Voelkei
admits Keyworth was duly elected
and chosen at last spring's election
but contends that his (Voelker's)
term does not expire until his successor is duly qualified. He contends
that Keyworth did not take the oath
of office and therefore no vacancy
exists and that he remains as the
duly elected official.
Both Voelker and Elliott attended
a meeting of the state administrative
board Tuesday morning. The board
voted to recognize Elliott,
Decision of the supreme court in
the dispute is not expected for a
week at least, pending filing of briefs
by both parties.

PARKJULY 4TH
Largest Number of Tourists
in History of Park Stop
for Holiday
It was evident last week that the
Wilson State Park is becoming mora
popular each year, when over 6,000
tourists and people from Clare and
Isabella counties gathered at Harrison's beauty spot to spend July 4th.
The day was spent in bathing, bail
games, etc., while the Butts' orchestra kept the visitors in excellent
spirits during the afternoon and evening, with popular music excellently
rendered.
Hundreds of children and adult-;
escaped the heat of the day by bathing in Budd lake, although many
were the backs that suffered sunburns.
During the day and evening Life
Guard Arnold Hughes' and his assistants kept a keen lookout of the lake
and watching over 200 bathers in tho
water at once is a task that requires
no little attention.
The best part was that the day's
activities were not marred by any
serious accidents.
BIBLE TENT MEETINGS
ARE WELL ATTENDED
THRUOUT PAST WEEK
Interest Increases Regardless of
Hot Weather as Meetings
Near Sixth Week
YOUNG ATTORNEY WEDS
DETROIT GIRL JUNE FIRST
Of interest to a great number of
friends was the marriage of Mr, Rol-
lin L. Shuil, son of Mrs. Clarence
Shull, Clare, to Miss Lyral Bortols,
daughter of Mrs. W, C. Bortols, 1136b
Littlefield Avenue, Detroit, June 1st.
The marriage occurred at the Nardeu
Park Methodist church, Detroit.
Mr. Shull will be remembered as a
graduate of Clare high school. He
was graduated from the Detroit Col-
lege Of Law in 1933. While there he
was associated with the Sigma Delta
Kappa Fraternity. At present he is
Assistant Prdcecuting Attorney ol
Wayne county.
The usual large attendance on
Sunday evening was the index to
the interest in the Bible lectures at.
the Bible Tent, 104 West Sixth St.,
Clare Sunday evening when the question "How Did Satan Become the
Devil?" was answered from the
Word of God. With this -lecture the
fifth week of the series, of meetings
began. Prominent in the discussion
of the subject presented was the
theme of the loving character of God
and His endowment of man with, a
free will, involving the possibility of
a wrong choice. However a loving
God permits sin to run its course that
it may never appear again, and He
will reward the faithful to the satisfaction of all.
Special musical numbers by local
talent filled the vacancy left by the
absence of the Cedar Lake Academy
friends who on past occasions favored us. Miss Ava Clare Jasmin accompanied by Mrs. Ludeman sang the
beautiful song, "No Burdens Yonder",
and Messrs L. E. Ludeman and
David Siel favored with the selection,
"Sweeter as the Years Go By". An
enjoyable song service preceded the
meeting, in which Mr. Ludeman led
with the trombone.
The public is urged to take full advantage of the opportunity for Bible
study offered _in the iectures of these,
closing few weeks of the course, and
are assured of a friendly greeting
and a definite message from the Book
of bocks.—X.
STATE NEWSPAPER
PEOPLE HOLD OUTING
AT MACKINAC ISLAND
Famous Historical Spot,
Ideal—Free From Noise
and Bustle
KERR GLASS CORPORATION
DISPLAY CAR VISITS CLARE
A rather unique display was seen
Upon our streets several days -this
week, advertising the Kerr fruit jars.
An automobile >vas so reconstructed,
that a large glass jar was securely
placed back of the cab and attractively arranged inside this huge jar
were quart and pint Ken* cans cold-
packed with fruits and vegetables. The
representative of the Kerr Manufacturing Corporation was from the offices at Detroit, and registered at the
Hotel Doherty Wednesday evening. <
Michigan weekly and small' daily
newspaper publishers, their. wiyfcs
and families, are home this" Swe'eW'
after three most delightful "days
spent at Mackinac Island, July 4, 5
and 6. Guests of the famous Grana
Hotel, the world's greatest summer
hotel, situated in this famous historic
spot, the nearly two hundred news.-
papermen and women enjoyed their
Thirtieth Mid-Summer Outing. Ideal
Weather, splendid fellowship, a fine
program, and unsurpassed hotel cooperation, made this outing one of
the most memorable in the history of
the Association.
Arriving at the Grand Hotel Thursday morning, July 4, the visiting
"home-town" journalists of the State
began to congregate beneath the blue
skies of Michigan's Straits of Mackinac, ou the historic Mackinac Island
that once served as the strategic
fortification for the French, English,
and American conquest of the Indian
tribes whose glamorous past makes
romantic the early chapteis of Michigan's setting by. the white man.
Paul H. McDonald, president of the
Michigan Press Association, aided by *
his special committee consisting o«
Al' H Weber, of Cheboygan, Hal
Whiteley, of Rogers City, and Ed
Chatelle, of St. Ignace, were in hand
to receive the guests from every' section of Michigan.
Entire facilities, of the Grand Hotel,
the headquarters for the outing, were
turned over to the visiting scribes by
W. S. Woodfill, manager of the great
establishment. £fc'-is..$nteresting to
note that the GraiiB Hhtel was built
in 18S7, under the leadership of Jolin
Oliver Plank, assisted by Cornel'us
Vanderbilt, ^Potter Palmer, George
Pullman, officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Co. The Grand HoJ
tel boasts the largest veranda of a:iy
hotel in the world, and 312 people f re
required to' administei'' to the needs
of. the colorful and gay assemble
of guests who visit it each year.
Visitors at Mackinac Island are removed from the hustle and bustle o'f
modern civilization, with its motor
cars, its noise, its grime and dust, to
a veritable "old world". Here no
automobiles may be found; instead,
various types of horse-drawn
vehicles, from the dignified single-
seated carriage? to the three-seated
flat-topped surrey, serve to transport
guests over the 2,-200 acres of the
Island. Regular sight-seeing trips to
various historic spots, Including the
old British Fort, the Natural Rock
Bridge, early English and FrencJI
churches and the beautiful little harbor, were a part of the three-day out- •
ing., Speed boats also lured many ot
the newspapermen and women to
pleasant hours on the clear-blue waters of this portion of the Great
Lakes.
Golf, bridge, horse-back riding,
hiking, and even old-fashioned
"cycling" aided in making the stay,
a recreatibnal 'one. A large banquet,
with special orchestra music and
folloT»ed by an evening o£ dancing,
were the highlights of the Friday outing program. Prizes, valued at nearly $300.00, were awarded Friday evening to winners of various contests
and features; John Olney, of Grand
Rapids, western Michigan manager
for the American Typefounders ' Co.,
was chairman of this phase of tha
outing.
"This' Thirtieth Mid-Summer Outing was splendid, and we hope that a
few years hence we will come bade
to Mackinac Island and the Grand
Hotel for another meeting," stated.
President McDonald, at the conclusion of the affair on Saturday evening.
"Many of- our newspaper group caiiB
to the Island for the first time, and
were deeply impressed with the
natural beauty of the Island, situated
as it is between old Mackinac City •
and St. Ignace, Michigan is a great
state and these summer outings to
various sections serve to point out
to makers of over 300 home-town
newspapers the value of 'seeing
Michigan first'."
