Advertising Campaign For
Resorts Launched at
March Session
The regular March, meeting of the
Chamber 'Of Commerce was held at the
Hotel ' Doherty' Tuesday evening,
March 1st, at 6:30 o'clock.

there being only about 2S members
present.' ,
■ Following the luncheon, President
Harold Fleiping called the meeting to
order and Secretary Dale Kennedy
read the minutes of the previous regular meeting and the board of directors meeting, which were approved.
The membership committee reported that there are now seventy regular
members and they will increase this
number as soon as time permits,

progress of the year around sports
project, and although some set-backs
have been encountered, plans are being worked out as fast as possible.
Henry Doll, county chairman for
National Wildlife Restoration Week,
spoke briefly on the program being arranged for this week, and was as-.
surred of the cooperation of the Chamber ■ of Commerce. An interesting
phase of .this work is the essays being prepared by school children on the
topic of "Wildlife Yesterday and Today." Both the national organization
and, county committee will award
prizes for these essays.
, Several owners of resort property
were present and took part in the
meeting and voiced their approval of
the efforts of the Chamber in bringing

of the different, resorts in this vicnity
Was discussed and the Chamber of
Commerce suggests that each resort
owner have cards or pamphlets print-
ed.«.outliuin'g .the special features of

from your local printer at a very reasonable cost and have shown very
satisfactory results in other communities with far less tourist attractions than are found in the vicinity of tClare.

SACRED HEART
WINS OYER CLARE
PIONEERS FRIDAY
Locals to Play in District
Tournament Tonight at
Mt. Pleasant
Sacred Heart won their first game
of the season when they defeated the
Clare Pioneers 18 to 12 at Mt. Pleasant last Friday night. The fighting
Irish were determined that the season should not end without a victory..
Time after time the Pioneers worked the ball in for a close shot, only
to have the ball roll out of the basket.
Their defensive play was good, as
Sacred Heart made most of their
points on long shots. *■■
Only three times did the Clare boys
connect for field goals. Maxwell did
it once and Cappaert did it twice.
The defeat can not be charged to
lack of fighting spirit for the boys
displayed plenty of it, nor can it be
credited to lack of support, for Clare
rooters more than doubled the number of Mt. Pleasant fans.
Lady Luck her hand
Will she be with the Pioneers when
they meet the winner of the Gladwin-
Coleman game in the tournament Friday night?
The second team won over. the
Sacred Heart second string by a
score of 17-14, To Jack Manee go the
honors for good ball playing. He displayed the kind of spirit we know
early Pioneers possessed.

first basketball game in three starts,
when they defeated the Harrison Junior high team Tuesday afternoon 17-

lard, who resided five and one-half
miles south and west of the village of

"fire wood, having left the four little
children at home alone. The children,
we understand, were left asleep in .the -
second story of the building, and tbe
oldest boy, a lad of five and one-half
years awakened and discovered fire
in the downstairs rooms. He took Ma
baby -brother of ten monthsi to tbe
door and dropped him as the heat was
too dense. *
The Goodrich family, neighbors In
the distance, noticed the smoke and
came to their resuce, but too, late.to
save the other two children-in the upstairs of the building. In tbe lad's attempt to rescue his brothers, he calleU-
to them, and they answered, "Its .too
smokey." Their little bodies* Were
found together later by Sheriff Bates.
As the Collards returned they Baw-
the plight and were horror stricken
when they learned that the children-
had perished, all being absent from
the scene, they presumed that they
were with neighbors.
The little lad of five is to be corn-*
mended upon his thoughtfulness i%-
attempting to save his brothers, t$f<J'
situation would have baffled ..fchy-
grown person,
The children were James, 3 1-2
years, Glen, Jr., 2, and Floyd, 10
months.
Funeral services were held at Temple on Wednesday afternoon for .the
trio, the scene was the most heart Tending to be witnessed by the people

Pleasant Sacred Heart won their first game of the season when they defeated the Clare Pioneers 18 to 12 at Mt. Pleasant last Friday night. The fighting Irish were determined that the season should not end without a victory.. Time after time the Pioneers worked the ball in for a close shot, only to have the ball roll out of the basket. Their defensive play was good, as Sacred Heart made most of their points on long shots. *■■ Only three times did the Clare boys connect for field goals. Maxwell did it once and Cappaert did it twice. The defeat can not be charged to lack of fighting spirit for the boys displayed plenty of it, nor can it be credited to lack of support, for Clare rooters more than doubled the number of Mt. Pleasant fans. Lady Luck her hand Will she be with the Pioneers when they meet the winner of the Gladwin- Coleman game in the tournament Friday night?
