ZENOBIA CHAPTER
LOOKS FORWARD TO
ATTRACTIVE MEETING

Guests Tonight at Initiation Ceremony
MOVIE OUTFIT INSTALLED IN LOCAL
BANOECENTLY
Machine* to Give Protection
Against Crooks, Carelessness and Poor
Memory
The movies have elbowed their way
into tlvet staid atmosphere of the
bank. Oh, no, not for entertainment.
But as a protection against crooks,
carelessness and poor memories. And
as a labor saving adjunct for the
bookkeepers,
In the directors room of the Citizens State Bank a moving pict,ur<:
machine is operated every day taking
pictures of checks, deposits slips, etc.
A photographic record is made with
a camera, about the size of one of the
popular home machines, of all transactions handled' by the bank and the
films are filed away for future reference.
Tiny pictures they are—seven of
them to an inch of film only live-
eighths of an inch wide. So tiny, In
fact, that on a 100-foot film, pictures
of 8,400 checks can be made.
Here's the way it is done: The ma-'
chine operator drops the check to be
photographed in the slot of a cabinet
that contains the camera, powerful J All arrangements for the special
lights and motors. Checks may bejmeeting of Zenobia Chapter No. 129

ute, the machine photographing sev- ~ ~ "
eral at a time on a roll of film and
then returning the check by dropping it out of a slot at the bottom.
From 700 to 1100 • checks ana
other transactions are thus "snapped"
daily at the bank. The spool of film,
no larger than a man's palm, is sent
at night to the nearest branch of the
machine owners, for it is only rented
—and returned developed in the morning. These spools are filed away by
date.
When it is necessary to examine
the record all that is necessary is to
get the proper film, slip the spool on
a machine that looks like one- of the
"nickle in the slot" movie, projectors
in "penny arcad/es" and unwind the
roll until the picture of the particular check is thrown upon a . ground
glass screen. If a print of a particular check is needed, the film-*is sent
to Chicago and a full size copy of the
check is made that is legal in court.
- The camera is valuable to the bank,
Ida* once a bank returns canceled
checks to the maker, it has only its
book entry' to go by. Sometimes people lose those canceled checks and
have no evidence to show they paid a
bill. It is easy now, through the camera's eye, to prove -payment.
In some banks using-the machine
it has proved valuable in detecting
forgeries and raised checks by employes who had torn up the original
check and fixed the books hoping not
ip .be caught. <
in the
Chapter room to-night, Friday, April
24th, have been completed. This will
be a most important meeting and it
is hoped that every member of the
local Chapter will be present.
It is expected that two candidates,
recently voted upon favorably for
membership, will be initiated into
Zenobia Chapter; the ceremony of initiation will be conferred by the local
officers, with the exception of Maude
Holmes who will substitute for Alta
Bellinger as Electa, and as all have
had previous experience in conferring
'the ceremony it is expected that the
execution of the work will be perfectly presented.
All officers of the Clare-Gladwin-
Midland District Association, have
been invited to attend and Rev. Albert
Dawe, President of-t;he Association,
reports that the Association Officers
will be one hundred per cent in attendance. In addition it is expected
that a number of visitors from
neighboring Chapters will be present.
The refreshment committee consisting of* Greta Masten, Chairman, assisted by Ada Hochstetler, Nettle
Holbrook, Josephine Murdock and
Anna Northon, reports that all ar
rangements for this committee have-
been completed and that following the
Chapter meeting all will retire to the
dining room for the final part of the
evening.
SURREY RESIDENT
FOUND DEAD AT
HOME_FRIDAY
Funeral for John Van Bus-
kirk Held Tuesday With
Burial in Gilmore
Cemetery
The untimely death of John Van-'
Buslurk last Friday morning April
18, at the home .one mile north of
Farwell was a shock to his family
and many friends. Continued III
health is thought to" have prompted
him in the act, as the body was founa
by the oldest son suspending from a
beam in the barn.
John VanBuskirk was born in
Clare County, Michigan December 17,
1892, arid was united in marriage to
Mina Frances Brasington December
9, 1914. To this union were born three
boys, Richard Judson, age 20, John
Robert 15, apd Raymond 10, which
are living at home. He leaves to
mourn their loss, his wife, boys ancl
a host of relatives and friends.
John has been a kind and loving I
husband and father and a patient sufferer for seven years.
March 18th Mr. VanBuskirk was
converted while in his own home and
since that time was constantly in an,
attitude of prayer. His sickness left
him suffering with periods when his
mind was apparently void of consciousness.
. The beautiful floral offerings and
the large attendance at the funeral
Tuesday afternoon at the Farwell
Church of God was evidence of the respect the deceased was held in the
community where he practically
spent his. entire life. Rev. Mary
House spoke words of comfort ana
consolation to the family and friends
ancl burial was made in the Gilmore
cemetery.
We can only say:
Sleep on, deer one,
Such a. life as yours has not been
lived in vain,
But holds an influence rare and
divine •'
On lives that here remain,
Sleep on with Jesus until we meet
again.
Anglers Readf$
for Opening Diay
of Trout Season
■ ■ *
The new date for the 1936 trout
season will be ush'ei*e<l in next Saturday, April 25th, regardless of degrees of temperature or the brightness of the sun, It officially opens a
minute after the midnight hour Friday and the many local anglers are
expected to be an their favorite
creek for the early catch. Streams
are about their usual water level ana
apparently very clear.
The only murmuring we have heard
as to this new change of date from
the old May first holiday is from our
youth in school who looked forward
to a holiday either by permission or
assumption.

An outstanding feature in this ap- j any surpass the Rod and Gun club's
pointment is that his fatner, John A. | meeting held Thursday night April
Jackson was a fojrmer postmaster or. 16th. Long days will pass before
Clare, and we believe this rather un;. evidence, by attendance and demean.-
usual that father and son should car-10r, will prove any item of more in-
ry on with but two appointees inter-, terest to the people than that, for
veiling. .which this occassion was set aside,
The Sentinel can proudly extend!—the preservation of wildlife, its
the best wishes of the people served I propagation and the possibilities of a
from the Clare office to our new pose-1 Clare County Game sanctuary. Nor
master, Mr. Jackson. | will the appetites, of those present,
' be more thoroughly appeased than
testimonials substantiated for the
wonderful banquet served by the
ladies of the Congregational church.
Plants from Whites Fruit and Floral
farm served as colorful decorations.
President Geo. White had charge of
the meeting and at the commencement called upon Henry Doll who
gave a very interesting report of the^
activities of the club during the past
year. In cooperation with the State
officers of the Conservation Department thousands of small fish have
boen planted in the lakes ancl streams
of Clare County. Another feature of
their work has been the great care exercised in encouraging and feeding
the birds which have visited our vicinity.
The establishing of. the Bird Sanctuary around the Tobacco River Is
progressing, and already many birds
of an usual species are seen in and
around the rivers and lakes.
Mayor Jesse Hampton gave the address of welcome and in doing so
stressed the value of the work done
by the members of the club. He also
called attention to the evident interest the ladies were taking in the
work of the club, as was shown * by
their presence there that evening.
Hitherto the ladies have hot been li*
vited to these banquets because o£
the mistaken notion they were not
interested, but their presence in sucfi
large numbers disproved that idea.
• With his superior qualifications, as
toastmaster for the evening, in full
bloom; the Irish wit of our Pros.
Atty. T. G. Bowler lent glamour to
the affair and immediateljr he introduced the talent of his profession by-
proving by photography, tlie guilt ot
one of Clare's well known anglers.
Thru the good graces of the Hon.

the evening's program was interspersed by some excellent singing by
three colored World War Veterans,

Conservation and Fire Prevention Work
Has Been Accomplished at Camp Temple
W. C. Cornwell, President of the W.
C. Cornwell Ranch Co., has returned
from the 'Texas range where he has
been spending the past six weeks visiting different ranches. While there,
he purchased all of the herefora
calves from the 2 Bar Ranch located
in the northern part of * Texas. The
"2 Bar Ranch" is an excellent range*
for cattle because of the wide ranges
of sloping ground leading to the river.
A person standing on a high cliff
looking off into the open-spaces toward the river is presented with a
real Western scene, the territory be
ing covered with hereforcl white faced
cattle that rove to and fro and amble
down to the ridge of the river where
the grass is in more abundance. Thq
method of branding the cattle on this
ranch is by 2 bars on the rear left
leg of all the calves, both heifers and
steers. This operation is much lesr
severe then the brand on the sides
at the critter and it does not carry
the usual ugly mark, nor does ii
damage the hide. This ranch has all
pure bred. mother herefords that carry a rocking chair brand on the front
shoulder, a most unique brand. The
Sires for this herd of several thousand cows were all imported from the
most strain of hereford blood.
Mr. Cornwell states that these
calves will be shipped in different
quotas and will arrive tn Clare in 5
and 10 carload lots. The first shipment will probably arrive sometime
during the first part of May. Included in one of the shipments will be a
purebred "Bramer" calf which will indeed be an interesting animal to see.
A box stall is being'put in readiness
for him on his arrival as they are
know to be very ugly and wild, especially when older.
BURT KANE WITH WURL1TZER
MUSIC MANUFACTURING CO.
Burt Kane, of Clare, has been ap-
pointed sales manager of the Wurlitz-
er Music M|g. £!o. He will have
charge of sales, distribution and service between Lansing and Lake Superior.
'Mr. Kane will make his headquarters in Clare. They Were formerly in
Lansing. He states that this will
bring about, five new families to Clare
if housing facilities can he located.
Clare appreciates Mr. Kane bringing this new industry to our city.
It has often been felt that there
were great opportunities for the
development of fire protection facilities in the southwestern part of the
Houghton Lake State Forest. The
(Department of Conservation has, for
a long time, b'een anxious to promote
a general program in conservation m
the area and in territory lying south
ancl west of the forest. The opportunity for the establishment of a CCC
Camp in this vicinity was grasped
and, as a result, Camp Temple^ with
an enrollment of Colored World War
"Veterans, was established.
Since the beginning of the camp in
July 1935, and during the eight
months of its existence, the work projects have been of a varied nature*
The camp has had one or more crews
building truck trails through the
woods to heretofore inaccessible
areas of woodland. Of prime importance is the establishment of protection to these areas. They are considered an, important element of protection and are also necessary m
order to service wooded areas during
the inflation of a program of conservation and reforestation.
Enrollees of the camp are frequently called upon, during fire season, to
suppress forest fires. This camp pror
tects about three' counties and at
times has* responded to fire calls In
Midland County. Crews nave been
called out at all times of the day and)
night, and at times as many as 150
men have been In the Held at one
time on three different fires. It ha&
been observed that the quick response to fire calls resulted in a
saving of timber equal in value to
the cost of operating the camp for a
period of years.
Lake improvement work, which,
consist of immersing gravel spawning
beds and brush shelters for protection for small fish against predators,
has occupied the time of a crew of
men during the winter months.
Blister Rust, a serious infection
which attacks White Pine has been
controlled by the eradication Of ribes,
which are shrubs on which this infection developes during a certain
stage of its existence. Without this
shrub, White Pine Blister Rust can?
not prosper. Two hundred and flf*
teen acres has been eradicated of
ribes and large areas of White Pine
stands have been mapped in Osceola
and Clare Counties in order to direct
the work of future eradication crews
which will work from Camp Temple
during the coming summer.
During the fall of 1935, tree planting operations were carried on quite
extensively, 159 acres being planted
on the Houghton Lake State Forest.
Planting stock was furnished by the
State owned Higgins Lake Nursery,
Norway and Jack Pine being usecj
principally.
Perhaps the most extensive improvement work done by this camp
is the development of the Tobacco
River Feeding! Station. In this feeding station about 500,000 brook and
brown trout are fed annually, being
■brought from the hatchery in May
when about 2 inches in length, and
fed until the later part of September
[Then they are planted In the streams
of Clare and Osceola Counties. During this time, they have grown to
legal size ancl are able to protect
themselves. Camp Temple has had
from one to two crews working on
,the various projects at the feeding.
station since the beginning of the
camp. The old rearing ponds were
improved by deepening them, lining
ithe edges With stone to prevent erosion, and leveling the bottom to eliminate stagnant pools. New ponds are
being constructed.
The old wooden bulkheads, used to
control the level of the water 'in the
ponds, are being replaced by concrete
structures. A spring house is to be,
constructed over a natural spring,
thus providing*-" natural refrigerator
for the preservation of fish food. A
caretaker's cabin with an adjoining
garage is in the process of construction. Leading into the feeding station
is a trail which included a vehicle
bridge across the Tobacco River.
CrewB are moving and planting trees
and shrubs in accordance with the
landscape plan. A Camp and picnic
ground is .to be constructed at the
station for the use of the touring
public.
Many small jobs too numerous to
mention have been completed, such
as building a telephone line into camp
from Temple, repair of buildings,
slash disposal, planting fish, camp
road system, and many others.
Camp Temple has a large work
program planned tor the future. The
present completed work is considered
to tie only a small part of the measures- necessary for the program of
•conservation and reforestation.
