CLARE ATTORNEY
APPOINTED AS
ADMINISTRATOR
A. E. Wylie Becomes First
to Fill Position in
County
Last *week Attorney Alexander E.
Wylie received notice of his official
appointment as Public Administrator
for the county of, Olare^ This appointment -was made- by Buell A. Doelie,
ptate public adm^isttfttor, who is di-
rectly responsible to Hairy S- Toy,
Attorney General.
Thia is the first- time that Clare
county has had a public administrator. At present the state is placing a public administrator in each
county which heretofore were only In
the largest populated counties.
Mr. Wylie's new duties will be tc
take care of estates where there
seems to he no heirs and prevent
escheated estates from being dissi
pated.
He will also investigate claims
where creditors are taking an un
usual interest in an estate, or where
heirs in foreign jurisdictions are
making claims. - g
Mr. Wylie will be responsible to
the State Public Administrator in his
work as well as to Judge Thos. S.
Dorsey.
Attorney Wylie, who has been
practicing law in Clare for the past
nine years, has made a special study
of this phase of work and we are
confident that an excellent choice has
been made. We understand that Mr.
Fred Doherty was instrumental in
suggesting Mr. Wylie for this appointment.

FURTHER EDUCATION
National Youth Administration
to Help by Part-time Jobs

The National Youth Administration
recently set up by President Roosevelt is now ready to function in providing assistance for those student-:

school and college. Considerable
interest has been evidenced locally
in this program. Definite information-has just reached the desk ol
our Superintendent of Schools, B. D.
Kennedy,
Students who are eligible to participate must be "between the ages of
16 and 25. They must be members
of relief families .and must be able to
do high grade work in school. They
must be able to show that they have
had to quit school for lack of such
financial assistance In the past, 01
that they will be unable to attend this
year without such assistance.
The aid provided high school students is in the form of part-time jobs
which- enables students to earn on an
average of $6.00 per month while attending school. In the case of individual students who are especially

"NATIONALIZATION OF
MUNITIONS" SUBJECT FOR
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATES
Shall the United States own all
munition plants in order to control
the sale of arms from this country to
warring nations, and thus fostei
world peace, or, as in the past, permit private manufacturers to make
and sell them where they will and
promote war, is the basis for argument in "Nationalization of Munitions," the subject for the nineteenth
annual high school debates sponsored by the Extension Division of the
.University of Michigan. "Will the
recent Neutrality Act passed by the
Congress successfully accomplish this
without the course suggested, is a
timely angle to the question in view
of the imminent Italian-Ethiopian
conflict and general European war
which It 'threatens to precipitate. '
Last year Monrose High School
won the State Championship in competition with ahout tko hundred high
schools on .the subject, "Federal Aid

Of the total high school enrollment
of 236, there are 150 non-resident
students. Tuition this year is paid
by the state directly to the high
school district, at the rate of $65.00
a pupil,
Considerable difficulty was experienced in adjusting the schedule
to care for the unusually large enrollment in. the Freshman class. It was
found necessary to set up three sections of algrebra, two sections of
English, two sections of Home Economics, two sections of General Business Training, and two sections of
Biology. Two small classes were
withdrawn in order to relieve teach
ers to care for these large sections of
beginning students.
Several committees of the faculty
are working on the various projects
of special interest to"* them. The committees include health, report card,
publicity, special days, vocational,
and trcademic groups.-• ■*-•
Severarimprovements in the building have been made during the summer. A nety cabinet in the Homt
Economics department provides plen
ty of cupboard, exhihit, and filing
space. The chemistry and physics-
supplies and apparatus find suitable
accomodations ih the new cabinet in
the chemistry laboratory. The former
laboratory stock room has been pro
vided for the band room. The girls
locker room has been provided with
a towel and shit storage -room. The
boys are working on a similar room
in the bOys' locker,room to connect
with the present coach's room.
The new members of the faculty
are adjusting to the school and community in a splendid manner. We do
most cordially Invite the parents oi
the boys aid girls in our community
to visit the school and get acquainted
with us.
The varidUfc departments are functioning normally* All activities are
under way. Further information
concerning the athletic department
will.be ioiind in another place in Tne

Prolonging Human Life
The length of man's life is a matter
of general and perennial interest, and
of late years it has received considerable attention.
Montaigne said "Men do not usually die; they kill themselves." During
the past century there ha.s been a
'substantial increase in the * general
life expectation as the result of modern advances in hygiene and sanitation. Mpst of the progress has been

Golf in All Its Glory Thrills Enthusiasts
at Championship Tournament Sunday
Had "Old Iffy," the dopester,
slated himself to have foretold the
outcome of the various matches that
were to take place at the 'Twin Elms'
golf course, in order to determine
the real talent in each individual
flight, he would have been compelled
to admit that his present job, at
prophesies as concerns the several
baseball teams, is a "Honey" as compared to his newly acquired duty.
Altho there is considerable honoi
in gaining a position in the Championship, flight, yet when it gets right
down to sinking putts, consistently,
for pars and under, the chips fall
thick, fast and hard, and elimination
becomes an epidemic among the contestants. Thus* it was this year, in.
the case of those who by request or
choice from, "Perfection of stance",
etc., took-o£f with Bryon Gallaghei'
and Leo Hampton.
"Lawdy my Hearties", as Iffy
would say, "What chance—lo what
.chance''with a pair like -those two
stalwarts, of whom any golf course
in the whole wide' world, could well
wax. proud. This year (what a game)
Byron took his opponent into camp
for the honors and by'(listen to this)
shooting the 36 holes in 1 (One) under par. Can you beat it? Say, as
the hundred or so fans milled around
the -cotirse Sunday- to witness, this
outstanding match, tears were evident as:theme two**-, warriors, . each
.striving. for; «*.freak,, calmly eomplif
been^mented
each other when a difficu
approach or putt had been successfully completed. That was real
sportsmanship, "My Hearties," that
is What makes life worth living, golfing a pleasure and put to effect in
every day life, heaven, on earth. Hats
off to Byron the victor and Leo his
partner.
Now-in the first flight, "Mort" the
Champeen's father, was not so good.
That is he did well, but—In that
flight anyway, things were all messed up and I'll tell you how. "Mike"
Elden defeated Acey Parker, tournament committee chairman, and al;
because the former "Popped off.'
Then Mort got the "daddy of the
course down on the 18th hole all because the latte*rljiwould.'-not listen to
reason. In the morning, Nellie said,
"Ike I'd never wear those new shoe's,"
but I. E. was bound to set sail in the
new . 'dreadnaughts' and at that he
steered their course mighty well until he was about to moor them In the;
peaceful harbor.a& the ,18th one up—
but alack and .-alas, nature can be restrained but a.limited time,—a shooting pain acrofes his arch,'as he- wap.
about to putt,—a slight' draw to .clubj.
the. ball hesitated on the lip , and
Mort dropSedoisl#I'2frUoot putt for a
birdie and \tl\e*hole_ .But,'"My Heart'

At'.th* «d ro£-1* hole*;. O. W £»ye«
.ill6>with
1 up,, had caused the 1934 cham-
ion "Twilight" golfer (according to
Ed Johnston's story) to cry 'enough'
and' thus became Sir Mortimer's opponent in the finish match.
Now take it from the writer, that
altho this famous dough-mixer has
played but little during the past sea
Son, dde to an ailment known as
'KneeitiS', yet he-retains that perfect
stance and that double shuffle (with
a few added steps) that made him
famous last season and as usual, han
his opponent so befuddled and upsei
that he conceded the game on the
17th. '
The second flight was a hotly con

THREE YEAR OLD BOY
KILLED BY AUTO
TUESDAYJVENING
Accident Occurs in Front
of George Haring Farm
East of Glare
Robert Kenneth, the three year old
old son of Mr, and Mrs, Ted , Craw?. :
ford, of Detroit, died at the CJlare . .
County General Hospital, at l:3p;5..,
Wednesday morning from injuries he"5* ■
received in an auto accent which,;OC- . ,
cured in front of the'George Haring -'-
farm in Grant township st ,S:W:'
o'clock the evening previous. ... . -..
According to reports, the boy, who
was visiting at the home of his aunt,
and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. George Haring, while his mother was in a hos- '
pital, had accompanied his uncle to '
the barn on the opposite side of the
road. Upon returning to the Iiousp
the child broke loose from his uncle's
hand and started to run across the
road, apparently not * noticing an approaching car from the west. O. Hj
Breen of this city, and driver of the •
car, quickly applied the brakes and is
said to have done everything possible
to prevent hitting the lad. In a last
effort he turned his car to the left of
the road, but the boy's head struck
the rear fender producing injuries
that caused his death.
A jury was drawn by prosecuting
Attorney Theo. G. Bowler and an inquest held before Coroner Dr. F. C.
Sanford, they returning a verdict as
it being an "unavoidable accident".
EARLY FALL MOVING
MAKES SEVERAL CHANGES
AMONG LOCAL RESIDENTS
Henry Baxter Family Move lo
Indiana Which Started
Ball Rolling
The fall moving epidemic has begun again as- several families are exchanging houses. The leader was the
family of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Baxter
who moved to Indiana last week end
from the McLeod- property " EV'iha
north end of Cedar street. With this
Mrs. Ida McLeod moved her household effects into her house Monday,
vacating the Reigle-Hudsou residence
on east Seventh street. Tuesday-
Mrs. Evaline Gerow and daughter,
Doris took immediate possession
here, and Mr, and Mrs. Eugene Wy-
man are in the act of occupying the
Rogers house on west 7th street
which they vacated. ,_,.,. .
There will not be any vacant
houses left in spite of the fact, that
Clare loses the Baxter family, as the,
O. A. Derby family are again taking't
possession of their home vacated by,
the Wymans'. This move is neceg;
sary because Harrison also sufferers .
a shortage of houses. We understand Dr. Wilson of that city, purchased the Schaaf property which '.
Mr. and Mrs. Derby have occupied
since early spring and they are" moving their household effects here and
Miss Mildred will have charge of the
house; which has catered to the public for room and board for several
years. Our county treasurer and
wife will occupy a furnished' apartment AVith Mrs. Minnie .Canfield at
the County Seat.
Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Grise and fahi- •
ily have moved from 'the Alger prop- .'
erty on west Wheaton Ave, to the!
apartment over the Dionise Tavern.
Mr. and "Mrs. Ralph Hether, who j
have spent several months at Harrison, will occupy the Alger house.
This is convincing that 01are is in '
need of several modern houses and
modem apartments are also in demand.
CHILDREN OF I. E, HAMPTON
HELP HIM CELEBRATE HIS
SEVENTY-THIRD BIRTHDAY
Last Friday evening the children
of Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Hampton and
their families gathered at the Hampton home to remind "Dad" that he
had reached his 73rd milestone in life
and they had come to help celebrate*,
the event.
Following a sumptuous supper all'
left for the Twin Elms golf Course,
where Mr. Hampton displayed his:
ability at the game by .playing IS
holes with a score of 84.
The Sentinel joins with the mahjj
friends of Mr! Hampton in Wishing
him many more of the happy events.

Tuition this year is paid by the state directly to the high school district, at the rate of $65.00 a pupil, Considerable difficulty was experienced in adjusting the schedule to care for the unusually large enrollment in. the Freshman class. It was found necessary to set up three sections of algrebra, two sections of English, two sections of Home Economics, two sections of General Business Training, and two sections of Biology. Two small classes were withdrawn in order to relieve teach ers to care for these large sections of beginning students.

Tri-County Health Unit Activities Prolonging Human Life The length of man's life is a matter of general and perennial interest, and of late years it has received considerable attention. Montaigne said "Men do not usually die; they kill themselves." During the past century there ha.s been a 'substantial increase in the * general life expectation as the result of modern advances in hygiene and sanitation. Mpst of the progress has been achieyed in infant and young life. Little has been accomplished in the improvement of health and mortality In older persons.

Altho there is considerable honoi in gaining a position in the Championship, flight, yet when it gets right down to sinking putts, consistently, for pars and under, the chips fall thick, fast and hard, and elimination becomes an epidemic among the contestants. Thus* it was this year, in. the case of those who by request or choice from, "Perfection of stance", etc., took-o£f with Bryon Gallaghei' and Leo Hampton. "Lawdy my Hearties", as Iffy would say, "What chance—lo what .chance''with a pair like -those two stalwarts, of whom any golf course in the whole wide' world, could well wax. proud.

That was real sportsmanship, "My Hearties" that is What makes life worth living, golfing a pleasure and put to effect in every day life, heaven, on earth. Hats off to Byron the victor and Leo his partner. Now-in the first flight, "Mort" the Champeen's father, was not so good. That is he did well, but—In that flight anyway, things were all messed up and I'll tell you how. "Mike" Elden defeated Acey Parker, tournament committee chairman, and al; because the former "Popped off.' Then Mort got the "daddy of the course down on the 18th hole all because the latte*rljiwould.'-not listen to reason. In the morning, Nellie said, "Ike I'd never wear those new shoe's" but I.
