w
Robert McMenaniin Speaks
to Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday Evening
The Clare Chamber of Commerce
met at Barnes Cafe Tuesday evening
for" their regular April --meeting with
Pres. Harold Fleming presiding.
Robert McMenamin of ithe Secretary
of State's Department was present, at
the invitation of the chamber, and
spoke, briefly but interestingly of the
department's activities relative to the
advertising of Michigan's tourist
facilities. 1
He said that ?135j000;,000 is spent
annually by tourists visiting our state
and stressed the importance of tne
part each individual and. community
can play in efceouraging the continuance and growth of tfiis huge and
important business. J .
He stated that there are four major
requisites that should be Seriously considered in attaining this objective,
namely:
Physical attractions—no state in the
world is more desirable for spending
summer -vacations from the standpoint of natural beauty, satisfactory
climate and pleasant atmosphere.
Provisions.—We must cater to those
coming from afar, and in so far as -possible, be able to furnish them with
the things they desire. Mr. McMenamin said that Clare is singularly
characteristic in this requisite, with
its splendid hotel, restaurant and
store facilities.
• Selling ability—Each Individual
must study and practice .the art of exploiting the tourist attractions of his
community. The 1937 Legislature appropriated $150,000 annually for the
next two years to be spent in advertising Michigan. .The four state tourist associations were allotted up* to
$25,000 each to cover 80% of the .actual
cost ,of tourist advertising, none "of the
money to be expended for administrative expense. The remaining $50,000
is to be used at-the disc1*61*011 °* t5ae
State Administrative "Board Under the
direction of Executive Secretary Norman Hill.

Speaker
MISS WESTABY SPEAKS
IN SCHOOL ASSEMBLY.
MONDAY MORNING
Final Program oi' Northwest
Assemblies is Given by .
World Traveler
The final program of the Northwest
Assemblies appeared at the high
school auditorium Monday, April 4th.
As a student of three American and
three European universities and as a
world traveler who spends a part of
each year in Europe, Geraldine
Westaby gave a very interesting and
entertaining talk about people in
other countries.
Miss Westaby displayed her fine collection of foreign dolls, which she
used to illustrate the mannerisms and
customs of foreign people.
She stated that life In Europe is not
much different from life in America,
yet great misunderstandings exist between countries.
"When I started for Europe last
year," she began, all my friends were
saying, "Isn't it terrible that she is going to those foreign countries." "When
I reached Germany, my friends there
were saying, "Isn't it terrible," and
when I inquired, they replied about
the kidnappings in America."
She stated that as long as the only
ways for these people to get information about America were through
American newspapers, movies, and
Uncle Tom's Cabin, and Sinclair
Lewis', "Main Street" (the two most
widely read American. books in
Europe) misunderstanding will exist.
She urged all young people to correspond with people of other Countries as a means of breaking down the
barriers of misunderstanding that exist between nations.
Speaking of education she said that
none of the schools of Europe are
coeducational. Europeans cannot understand how both boys and girls can,
go to the same school.',
Children in Europe go to school six
days a week instead of five. Only the
upper 10 per cent of the eighth grade
graduates are allowed to go on to
high school.
Miss Westaby compared the philosophy of life in Europe with that in
America.
In America -we live as fast as we
can so that we may enjoy to the utmost all that life has to offer. In
Europe they live as slowly as they can
so that they may enjoy to tho utmost
all that llfe-hM to offer.
The service this year will be held in
the First Congregational church with
Pastors, members and friends of the
Methodist Episcopal, the Church of
,God, and the First Congregational
church participating.
The time of service is from 1:00
o'clock until 2:45 p. m., which will be
strictly adhered to.
The public may come and go at any
time during the service as they please,
but it is sincerely hoped there will be
no interruptions during the period
when either of the Pastors are speaking. "The Threefold interpretation
of the Cross," is the general theme
of the discourses.
f Rev. Albert "Dawe will^speak on the
subject, "The Cross and'the Cultural
Life,"
Rev. Geo. P. Stanford, 'The Cross
and the Social Life."
Bro. Harry Cleveland, "The Cross
and the Religious Life."
The choral choir will assist in the
service with their anthems and song.
It is" hoped that all believers in the
Christian way of life as being the supreme standard of living for our city
and community, will make a special effort to atted this worthwhile service.
There Will be a 15 minute musical
prelude commencing promptly at 1:00
o'clock with Anna May Smalley at the
organ.

FLOCK OF SHEEP
KILLED BY DOGS
MONDAY NIGHT
John Eichhorn Suffers Very
Heavy Loss by Stpay
Dogs Near City
Monday night or early Tuesday John
Eichhorn, of Arthur township, suffered
a loss of S200 when stray dogs ruined
his flock of sheep on pasture on the
Seeley Johnson farm in Grast township.
There were 20 sheep in, the flock
and all but three were killed, and two
of these were seriously injured. Huge
pieces of wool and flesh were torn
from the sheep in the attempt to free
themselves from the dogs. This flock
was due to lamb in May and Mr. Eichhorn greatly feels this .loss.
Owners of dogs have been Warned
repeatedly through these columns and
from officials of the county to stritcly
adhere to the law of confining their
ammals to the premises, but farmers
are cdntinuously called upon to make
sacrifices similar to this, and now
they are about to take this "matter in
their own hands. A flock Once invaded by this destruction immediately
loses its value to the owner.

Republicans Garry City and
"Wards. 350 Straight
Votes Cast
G. Reger Lost on Slips by Three
Votes for Alderman ,in
First Ward
Election day, Monday, April 4th
brought out the smallest vote in the
city in. many years. The entire Republican ticket headed by Mayor John
W. Dunlop met with no opposition
with the exception of treasurer. In
filling this office both tbe Republican
and Democratic parties made manifest
their desire at. caucus, to have Mrs.
Jessie Gibbs care for the City's finances. Mr. Gibbs' health makes it impossible for him to carry on the work.
Mayor Dunlop has given the city of
Clare one full year of his attentive
service and much has been accomplished in the way of permanent t»-
provements and his efforts are to
make andkeep Clare the most attractive little city on the two Federal highways whicn intersect here at the corners owned by the Hotel Doherty and
J. E. Doherty on the east and The
Dunlop Cafe and the Murl Houghton
building occupied by the A. & P. Tea
Co. on the west. Mayor Dunlop proudly comments upon the splendid cooperation he received during the past
year by his Councilmen and with "a
continuation of this substantial backing Clare will continue in its marked
progress.
City Clerk Alex McKinnon who has
recorded the activities of the City
Council since 1924, continues* to serve
in this channel. In past elections several candidates have been placed as
opponents but the final tabulation has
always awarded Mr. McKinnon for his
accuracy and courtesy shown the
public. ti
The only contest of the day was itt
Fft-st Ward where Chris Reger;* wTio
was appointed last year to fill vacancy
by the election of Aid. Dunlop for
Mayor, made an effort to return, as
alderman by running on slips. The

Harold Fleming presiding. Robert McMenamin of ithe Secretary of State's Department was present, at the invitation of the chamber, and spoke, briefly but interestingly of the department's activities relative to the advertising of Michigan's tourist facilities. 1 He said that ?135j000;,000 is spent annually by tourists visiting our state and stressed the importance of tne part each individual and. community can play in efceouraging the continuance and growth of tfiis huge and important business. J . He stated that there are four major requisites that should be Seriously considered in attaining this objective, namely: Physical attractions—no state in the world is more desirable for spending summer -vacations from the standpoint of natural beauty, satisfactory climate and pleasant atmosphere. Provisions.—We must cater to those coming from afar, and in so far as -possible, be able to furnish them with the things they desire. Mr. McMenamin said that Clare is singularly characteristic in this requisite, with its splendid hotel, restaurant and store facilities. • Selling ability—Each Individual must study and practice .the art of exploiting the tourist attractions of his community. The 1937 Legislature appropriated $150,000 annually for the next two years to be spent in advertising Michigan. .The four state tourist associations were allotted up* to $25,000 each to cover 80% of the .actual cost ,of tourist advertising, none "of the money to be expended for administrative expense.

THREE CHURCHES UNITE FOR GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE Musical Numbers Will Be Rendered Between Periods Allotted Each Speaker MISS WESTABY SPEAKS IN SCHOOL ASSEMBLY. MONDAY MORNING Final Program oi' Northwest Assemblies is Given by . World Traveler The final program of the Northwest Assemblies appeared at the high school auditorium Monday, April 4th. As a student of three American and three European universities and as a world traveler who spends a part of each year in Europe, Geraldine Westaby gave a very interesting and entertaining talk about people in other countries. Miss Westaby displayed her fine collection of foreign dolls, which she used to illustrate the mannerisms and customs of foreign people. She stated that life In Europe is not much different from life in America, yet great misunderstandings exist between countries. "When I started for Europe last year" she began, all my friends were saying, "Isn't it terrible that she is going to those foreign countries." "When I reached Germany, my friends there were saying, "Isn't it terrible" and when I inquired, they replied about the kidnappings in America." She stated that as long as the only ways for these people to get information about America were through American newspapers, movies, and Uncle Tom's Cabin, and Sinclair Lewis', "Main Street" (the two most widely read American. books in Europe) misunderstanding will exist. She urged all young people to correspond with people of other Countries as a means of breaking down the barriers of misunderstanding that exist between nations. Speaking of education she said that none of the schools of Europe are coeducational. Europeans cannot understand how both boys and girls can, go to the same school.', Children in Europe go to school six days a week instead of five. Only the upper 10 per cent of the eighth grade graduates are allowed to go on to high school. Miss Westaby compared the philosophy of life in Europe with that in America. In America -we live as fast as we can so that we may enjoy to the utmost all that life has to offer. In Europe they live as slowly as they can so that they may enjoy to tho utmost all that llfe-hM to offer. The service this year will be held in the First Congregational church with Pastors, members and friends of the Methodist Episcopal, the Church of ,God, and the First Congregational church participating. The time of service is from 1:00 o'clock until 2:45 p. m., which will be strictly adhered to. The public may come and go at any time during the service as they please, but it is sincerely hoped there will be no interruptions during the period when either of the Pastors are speaking. "The Threefold interpretation of the Cross" is the general theme of the discourses. f Rev. Albert "Dawe will^speak on the subject, "The Cross and'the Cultural Life" Rev. Geo. P. Stanford, 'The Cross and the Social Life." Bro. Harry Cleveland, "The Cross and the Religious Life." The choral choir will assist in the service with their anthems and song. It is" hoped that all believers in the Christian way of life as being the supreme standard of living for our city and community, will make a special effort to atted this worthwhile service. There Will be a 15 minute musical prelude commencing promptly at 1:00 o'clock with Anna May Smalley at the organ.

FLOCK OF SHEEP KILLED BY DOGS MONDAY NIGHT John Eichhorn Suffers Very Heavy Loss by Stpay Dogs Near City Monday night or early Tuesday John Eichhorn, of Arthur township, suffered a loss of S200 when stray dogs ruined his flock of sheep on pasture on the Seeley Johnson farm in Grast township. There were 20 sheep in, the flock and all but three were killed, and two of these were seriously injured. Huge pieces of wool and flesh were torn from the sheep in the attempt to free themselves from the dogs. This flock was due to lamb in May and Mr. Eichhorn greatly feels this .loss. Owners of dogs have been Warned repeatedly through these columns and from officials of the county to stritcly adhere to the law of confining their ammals to the premises, but farmers are cdntinuously called upon to make sacrifices similar to this, and now they are about to take this "matter in their own hands.
