"OPEN WIDE THE
DOOR" IS SLOGAN
OF SEALCAMPAIGN
Annual Sale of Easter Seals
To Aid Crippled Children
Opened April 1st
Directed   by  the  Clare  Society  for
Crippled  Children,  the  third    annual
sale of Easter Seals opened in Clare
on April 1 and continues for 15 days.
Sold    at    a    penny
SI each,  these Seals pay
a    steady    increasing
share of the  cost    of
I discovery,   care,   cure,
'    education,        training,
and    pre-
crippled
I placement,
J{ vention    of
CHIIOREN
children.
Based on a sketch by Donahey,
famous cartoonist of the Cleveland
plain Dealer, this year's Seal pictures
in a frame of Easter lilies a boy with
his crutch, sitting patiently before
"The Door of Opportunity," which
stands slightly ajar. Above are the
words, "Open Wide the Door," and
below "For Crippled Children.
Many buyers of these Easter Seals
doubtless will be reminded by the
phrase "Open Wide the Door" of a
favorite old hymn that goes like this:
Let a little sunshine in,
Let a little sunshine in,
Clear the darkened windows,
Open wide the door,
Let a little sunshine in,
Every year incire States and Communities participate in the sale of
Crippled Children Seals; and by the
same token, more people not only become buyers of Seals, but they also
develop a new or keener interest in
what the Seals stand for, and what
they make possible."
Ninety per cent of the proceeds remain in Michigan to help maintain
and extend the established program
of work for physically handicapped
girls and boys. The remainder goes
to the International Society for Crippled Children, Inc., which sponsors
the Seal sale and spurs world-wide
interest in the whole problem of treating and preventing.crippledom.
" The SevenL ast
Words of Christ"
to be Sung Tonite
The high-light of the spring music
season in Clare will be marked tonight with the presentation of "The
Seven Last Words of Christ" by the
Clare Choral Union. This world-
famous cantata by the French composer Dubois, has become) ^with Stain-
er's "Crucifixion" the classic of all
Good Friday -music services. The
program, sung by u chorus of forty
with five assisting soloists, will be
given in the Clare Schoojl Auditorium
beginning promptly at 8:00 o'clock.
Two, pianos and a violin will be used
for accompaniment.
The usual union church service
held Good Friday afternoon will be
combined witli this choral presentation and the churches sincerely hope
that everyone who finds It possible
will attend. The program is a little
over an hour in length, and by placing it in the evening it was felt more
would be able to attend.
The music tells the story of    the
crucifixion from the clamoring of the
Jews through the sorrowing of Mary
J.he   Mother,   the   cry  of   the  thieves
I for mercy, the railing of the onlookers, to the death agony and final resignation of  Christ.    The final  chorale
'in the form of a prayer, is one of the
[Stateliest   in   choral   literature.     The
"Stabat Mater" in the third Word is
also widely known for its pure musical beauty.
The Choral Union has purchased
material for a set of robes ancl a
silver offering will be taken to heir
defray this expense. There will be no
admission charge. The production
is under the direction of Mr. Joseph
A. Kitchin, and the accompaniment
wili be played by Miss Doris Gerow
and Mrs. Eva Lowrey and Mrs. Styles
on the violin.

TAX TOCOUNTIES
Portion of Payment Paid in
Advance for Snow Removal Program
Aud, Gen. John J. O'Hara and State
Highway Commissioner Murray D.
VanWagoner announced recently that
first-quarter returns to the counties on
weight tax collections will reach a
record high this year.
The twa officials revealed that
vouchers totaling $11,490,288.86 have
been prepared covering the first quarter. The counties, however, will actually receive only $9,462,262.06 of this
amount as they were given an advance of $2,028,026.80 earlier in the
year to help the counties finance
their local snow-removal programs.
Current first-quarter returns are
nearly $3,000,000 more than the
amount vouchered to the counties the
same period last year. At that time,
the first-quarter payment amounted to
$8,557,303.55 while in 1934 they were
only $5,906,000.
In - making-the payments at this
time the state highway department
and the auditor-general's office are
meeting-the obligation nearly ten days
ahead of the time required by the
statute. The law specifies that the
funds be vouchered by April 15.
O'Hara said that payments will be
witheld from ten counties until they
have made their Sept. 30 settlement of
obligations with the state. These delinquent counties are Alger, Baraga,
Clare, Gladwin, Jackson, Lake, Oakland, Macomb, Sanilac, and VanBuren.
Allocations to the nearby counties
including advances already made are:
