perhaps one of the most effective
of all the Government's agencies, set
up during the last four years to speed
up recovery, has been the National
Reemployment Service. In Michigan,
the state has been zoned off into territories' or districts of from one to
several* counties. YEach district office is go situated as to serve a territory* having the same employment
^problems in each M its several parts.
While the National Reemployment
Service is a part of the United States
Department of Labor, it has never received the publicity given other and
perhaps more spectacular agencies,
such as the AAA, WPA, and the outlawed NRA. This may be due, in
part to the fact that each local office
Is almost entirely dependent on the
community which it serves for its
routine maintenance. No funds are allowed the Branch Office Manager for
such Items as office rent, telephone
hills, light and fuel, much less for
publicity.
Through the good officers of the
City Council of Clare, our local office
of the NRS has had rent fr,ee, the
small room at the head of the stairs
in the City hall, formerly used for a
cloalc room. This office serves Clare,
Isabella,   and  Gladwin  Counties.
The routine work of the office force
of two, consists of registering applicants for work, classifying each applicant according to occupation as
standardized By the United States
Division of Standards and research.
As an applicants card is filed, a
search is made through the files for.
a requisition from an employer in
need of a person so classified. When
such an order is found, the applicant
is given a card, introducing him or
her, to the employer, a contact is
made and if both parties are satisfied, the applicant may begin work at
once
There is also a system of nation
wide distribution, of classifications-,
made possible by the right of each
^District Office to supply, and refer applications to employers in any part of
the United States where a shortage
of any particular classification exists..
., Manufacturers and Contractors
have been the largest bidders for
labor cleared through our Clare NRS
office.    During the six months end-

ing December 31, 1936, the Clare office furnished laborers, tradesmen,
foremen, and office help to all of the
following employers, who were either
located, or operating in this District

Sentinel Receives
Award for Half
Century Service
The Clare Sentinel was honored
this week in recognition by The
American Press of its fifty years of
service in American newspaper life,
and has been enrolled with thp group
of papers organized as a Half-Century Club. The American Press is an
independent magazine for the makers
of newspaper at New York, and we
feel very proud of the attractive certificate of Membership, which 'now
hangs on our office: wall, received
from this widely known paper.
We recognize that fact that the
early foundation established ,by this
paper and the loyal support of our
patrons since our taking over the
reins, in 1921 has made it possible for
the Sentinel to merit this award.

CARBON  MONOXIDE
Most safety practices which drivers
follow to avoid accidents concern the
way they handle their cars in traffic,
but another type of care is important
during the winter months;, Precautions must ,be taken that escaping exhaust fumes which contains deadly
carbon monoxide gas to not contam-
•inate the air within one's car.
When car windows and ventilators
v    are closed and heaters are in use, the
■^.. driver ishould be alert to   detect   in
■"'    himself or his passengers    signs   of
drowsiness or headache.   These   are
symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.   If they are noted, the car should
he   stopped    and    everyone    shoulfl
breathe deeply of fresh outside air.
Travel should not be resumed until
windows or ventilators   are   opened
enough to create a good circulation of
fresh air to  carry aWqy the poison
gas.
It is .wise to have One's car carefully inspected to be sure exhaust
gaskets and pipes, pistons, heating
units, and so on,'are in good condition and will not^ permit gases to
'escape. Openings' between the engine and passenger spaces should be
closed tightly and broken floors repaired. This will help prevent the
gases from spreading through the
passenger space.
Carbon monoxide is. ordless, colorless and tastless.   We cannot detect
it by our sances other than by dis-
■covering its effects.   Victims of car-
,... feoja    monoxide    poisoning     become
pKp-adually less able to drive safely because the ability to    give   attention,
think, and act, is reduced. Preventing
^  «xposur\Q. to the poison by appropriate
,. pleasures will assure safety for the
driver and his passengers.

Last Rites Held Sunday for Sheridan Man With Burial
at Cherry Grove
Michigan, telephone users will save
upwards of half a million dollars annually as the result of the reduction
in rates on long distance telephone
calls to points outside of the state
which went into- effect January 15 according to T. C. Maher, manager in
this area for the Michigan Bell Telephone Company,
On most interstate rates for day,
night, and Sunday calls made over a
distance of more than 42 miles, the
reductions range from five cents to
$1 or more, depending on the distance,
for the initial talking period of three
minutes. Schedules of the newly effective reduced, ratteis have been received by tlita local manager and operating people of the Michigan Bell
Company.
Beginning in 1926, eight successive
reductions have been m,ade to the
rates for interstate long distance calls,
and four in ratjas for long distance
calls between points within the state,
Mr. Maher said. Under the January
15 reduction, in general, at distances
of 90 niiles the saving to the customer making a day station-to-tation call
is ten cents, increasing to 15 cents at
150 miles, 20 cents at 175 miles, 25
cents at 355 miles, SO cents, at 465
miles, 35 cents at 575" miles, and so
on up.
For instance, a three-minute day
station-to-station call from Clare to
Toledo, which formerly cost 90 cents,
,now costs 75 cents, to, Elkhart, Ind.
the cost Is reduced from 85 cents to
70 cerat, to Chicago it gqes down from
$1.05 to 80 cents, and to Syracuse, N.
Y. it is reduced from $1.70 to $1.45.

Coleman, and a loss from Lake City,
last year's Conference Champs.
Clar© started against Coleman
strong making twenty points in the
first half and coming back in the
last half to make nineteen points. The
ball handling was far above par and
the defense was excellent. Sanford
and Anderson combined to give Clare
twenty-one points while Otis led the
losers with seven points.   Score 39-21.
Friday the boys stacked up against
Lake City. The game was rough and
the ball handling on both sides was
a bit rugged. The game was exciting from beginning to end, when
Sanford was awarded a free throw,
the crowd went wild as he prepared
to shoot. Maxwell missed a shot
which would have tied thj©- score- as
the whistle blew. Sanford and Ows-
buski were high scorers. Score '23-
21.
To-night we play Reed City there

the defeat Which we suffered at an

es have registered for the old age
pens.on benefits provided by the Social Security Act. These do not .include school teachers, county, state,
or civic workers, farm laborers, or
•domestic employes, none of whom are
eligible under the act.
Account number cards have been issued by the Social Security Board tc
the great majority of the 370 registered here, although some are yet to be
received, A few. belated applicants
are still filling out the necessary
blanks in order to get fitted out with
a number.
Taxes to build the huge old age
pension fund became effective Friday,
January lv On that date employers
began deducting o»e per cent *from
their payrolls. They will match this
figure and make- their first payment
the end of February.
The .one per cent has three years to
run, increasing gradually thereafter
until three per cent is reached in 1949.
No pensions are to be paid until 1942
and at that time the monthly payments to those who retire on reaching
the age of 65 after 1942 will range
from $10 to $85 per month, depending
upon the wages earned on which the
tax has beam paid. ,        '
1936 Payroll Tax*-
The federal tax of 1 per cent on
1936 pay rolls originally was to become due January 31, 1937, but the
social security board has secured an
extension to March 31, 1937 says
Frank A. Picard, chairman of the state,
unemployment compensation commission. He advises employers to delay
the payment of the federal tax on 1936
pay rolls until the time when they receive the necessary forms from the
state, so they may pay the state taix
first. He pointed out that, under the
Keideral law, the employers can claim
■90 per cent of tax they have paid to
the state.
Picard pointed out that this applies
only to the federal tax for unemployment insurance and not-to the federal
tax for old age benefits.

Alger Brown Thrown Thirty-five   Feet   Clear   of
Fence. All Recovering Nicely
Another automobile accident occurred last Friday night involving:
three Clare people, sending two to the
local hospital, altho not seriously injured.
Alger Brown and Maxine Sowle
both seniors of Clare high, had' driven
to Littlefield lake for an hour's pleasure in skating af tea- the daily school
sessions had been dispensed'with, and
upon returning met with the mishap
at the corner two miles north of
Wood's store in Gilmore township.
Their car was struck broadside by the
City Bakery truck, as either driver
did not see the cars as they approached the intersection. Alger was thrown
clear of the car a distance of thirty-
five feet to the right over a wov»n
wire fenqe. He was found groping
on the ground in a semirdazed condi-
tion, while his companion was but
partially out of the machine,, also unconscious. She suffered a slight concussion and bruises, together with the
shoek, and, a late check-up finds her
resting very nicely at her home where
she was taken Tuesday.
Alger remains in the care of Dr.
Wood and his staff with a cut on his
forehead, a slightly bruised hip, and
a fractured knee cap. He undoubtedly will have the injured kn^e in a cast
for several weeks.
Clifford Powers, the driver of the
Dodge truck, ©scaped uninjured, altho
the machine' was badly damaged, as
was the new Chiavrolet owned by
Howard Brown.
Sunday night a. group o£ Clare
young people were .enroute "to West
