The Corps has long wanted its members properly outfitted and President
Dunlop called this special meeting of
its Executive Committee to' consider
this important question. Representatives of leading uniforms companies
were present.
After considering the different
quotations and prices the Board selected the offer of the Lilley-Ames Company of Columbus, Ohio, whose
representative, Mr. "William A.

presented what was considered the.
most attractive proposition.
The uniforms will consist of navy
blue trousers trimmed with a wide
gold stripe and the wool serge shirts
will be of cadet blue equipped with
regulation insignia. Navy blue oversea caps complete the uniforms. The
Drum Major will have a "West Point
military jacket with braid and gold

special election by the township board
of Grant township over the signatures
of E. T. Wheaton and Gilbert Parrish
and was dated June II, 1811, making
it 127 years of age.

the /old pioneers that this buildihg Was
formerly a part of the old Alger Hotel,
which was located in tie,early days
on the corner now occupied by the

NEW FISHING LAW
GOES INTO EFFECT
FOR FIRST TIME
■ •*■
Right to take Trout This
Season Will Cost One
Dollar "
Don't forget your fishing license!
That is the advise of State Conservation officials to Michigan anglers
on the eve of the trout season.
Under a law enacted by the 1937 legislature a new schedule of rod license
is in effect this spring, for the first
time.
Resident fishermen may still purchase a 50 cent general rod license
and obtain a free stub for their wives,
but this license does not permit the
taking of brook , brown or rainbow
trout. It covers the taking of all
other game fish that may be caught
legally in Michigan waters.
The fisherman who wants to take
trout miuat buy the new ?1.00 trout
license which permits the taking of all
game fish including trout. There is no
free stub for the wives, however. The
wife of an angler holding the ?1.00
license must buy a license of her own,
either a $1.00 license if she wishes to
fish for trout or a 50 cent nontrout
license if she is content to take other
game fish, but exempt trout from her
catch.
Nonresident ariglers can obtain an
annual license good for the entire season for $2.00 or a ten-day license for
$1.00. In either class the wife may
buy a simular license for 50 cents. The
licenses cover the taking of all kinds,
of fish, including trout.
Regardless of what kind of a license
you require, don't go rtshing without
it, conservation officials warn.
CAR RUNS OVER
300 FOOT EMBANKMENT SUNDAY NITE
Russell Lawler in Local Hospital Seriously Hurt; Accident Occurs at
Bertha Lake
tll'st Saturday night about midnight
Russel Lawler, of Rosebush, was seriously injured at Bertha Lake, when
his car, instead of making the turn
in the toad, ran straight ahead down
a 300 foot, embankment, striking several trees ftpd stumps in descent, and
finally turning over.
With him in the coupe were three
other passengers, a Mr. Keller, of
Rosebush, and Misses Catherine Seibt
and Verna Bergey, both of this city".
Mr. Lawler was brought to the Clare
County General hospital with a broken shoulder, the bones splintered in
one arm, 1$ rib's broken and a badly
injured spine and remains in serious
condition. Miss Seibt suffered a cut
back of the ear and several stitches
were necessary to close a wound in
her back, while Miss Bergey, as well
as Mr. Keller, escaped with only slight
bruises.
Many people, who have viewed the.
completely wrecked car at the Clute
Garage* marvel bow four people could
go through the wreck and live.
FISHING FOR TROUT OUT
OF SEASON COSTS LOCAL
MAN TWELVE DOLLARS
Dewlyn VanSicklen was placed under arrest Friday, April 15th, by Conservation officer Carl Rushton. When
taken before Justice Kyle McKinnon,

JOHN W. DUNLOP
Member of one of Clare's oldest
families Republican candidate
at .September Primary
JOHN W. DUNLOP
SEEKS CANDIDACY
FOR COUNTY OFFICE
City Has Many Permanent
Improvement Thru Efforts of Its Chief
Executive
Checking over the record made by
Mayor Dunlop as he is launching out
on his second year as mayor of Clare,
and aiso announcing his candidacy
for the office of sheriff on the Republican ticket in the fall primary
election, we find that many achievements hg.ve been accomplished.
Through his efforts anct-witk the solid
cooperation of his council members
several WPA streets projects have
.been completed, and improvements
made to the city park, tourist park
and Cedar park. His efforts as
president of the Clare County Agricultural society.to which he was chosen
last fall, again give evidence of permanent improvement to our county.
Mr. Dunlop is devoting untold time to
the program for a successful Clare
County Fair in early September. The
new grandstand being one of his hobbies in this direction, and The Sentinel cannot fail to mention that a good
track win be in readiness for the
races for he too, is a lover of horses.
The building occupied by the Dunlop Cafe is the first brick block ever
built* in Clare and the homestead
located on the west county line was
built, before the Ann Arbor railroad
passed thru our city. These locations
being the possessions of Mayor Dunlop's^ parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. J.
W*'. Dunlop, he cherishes them -and
every effort is made to keep them wel,l.
preserved, ; :
. Realizing the- ihterest taken in every
effort or suggestion made for the benefit of Clare and Clare county and in
interest of' taxpayers, The Sentinel
finds Mayor Dunlop a desirable candidate for this high county office.
ROD AND GUN CLUB
BANQUET ATTRACTS
SEVERAUiUNdRED
Speaker G. A. Paquin Entertains With Movies of
Great Out-of-Door
Sport
The citizens of Clare and vicinity
certainly showed their continued interest in the Clare Rod and Gun club
in all that they are trying to do ani*'
are doing to increase the facilities
for both hunting and fishing in Clare
county and the immediate localities' as
was evidenced by the rapid sale of
over 200 ticketB for the panquet- lafct
Thursday evening in the Community*
building.
The banquet was served by the
-jadies Guild of the Congregational
church, who received much commendation for the excellency of the meal
and the quick and able manner in
which it was served.
Geo. White, president of the Clara
Rod and Gun club, acted as toastmastr
er and introduced a number of guestv
who with their wives sat at the speakers table, all of whom are deeply tnr
terested in the character of the wOrK
the club is doing and are State or
County officers in the Conservation
work of the State.
Those who were introduced wers
as follows:
Chas. Webb, president of the Gladwin Conservation club.
Paul Gibson, president of the Harrison Conservation club.
Edward Hickox, president of the
Midland Conservation club.

Director.
Fred Bush, Assist. Regional Direct-*
or, and Carl Rushton, Clare County,

Mayor John W. Dunlop gave a
short address of welcome stating that
while he was not a hunter or fisherman yet he was sufficiently interested that he was always ready and
willing to lend a hand when he could
assist in increasing the advantages
to those who loved the sport.
The toastmaster introduced Mr. C.
A. Paquin, of the Educational division
of the Conservation department, who
spoke of the many projects the State
Conservation is engaged in; especially reforestation, planting of fish and
game bird hatcheries.
Mr. Paquin, showed some very inter*-
esting moving pictures of the many
less frequented picturesque scenes In)
the northern part of Michigan.
The quartette composed of member*-**
of the high school faculty sang a
couple of numbers with Mrs. Paul
Lowrey at the piano; and the Claris"
Study Club sextette with Mrs. Fred
Doherty at the piano sang three numbers all of which were greatly enjoyed. ... ' "
The banquet and program was ac*'

FARWELL TEAM TO
PLAY PRACTICE GAME
WITH LOCALS HERE
The Clare Merchants Baseball teaffl*
drove to Beaverton last Sunday for *
practice game and were defeated 11-3!
in a very lop-sided game. This being
the first time this season- that thf
Clare boys had a chance to look at
some real classy pitching, they pickedl
up some real points. .
The Beaverton, team is a very strong
one, playing in the ^Saginaw Valle!)
league, and boasting of two very fine'
pitchers. .
The boys have worked real hard oB*(
the diamond, and it is rapidly taking}
shape. We want to thank Mr. Asline^
of the Road Commission, Mr. Haringir
foreman, and Mr. Bowers, for _th^f "»>
grading of the outfield,- it is surely ajn
predated.
The Farwell team comes here thi£
Sunday for a practice game, and thfl(
boys are going to try to even up folj
the defeat at Beaverton last Sunday,
The game will be called at 2:00 o'clock
sharp. _.;;». * - .
The first official game of the seasoaf -
will be played On the local diamond
at the touvi.'it park on May 8th, witft"

That is the advise of State Conservation officials to Michigan anglers on the eve of the trout season. Under a law enacted by the 1937 legislature a new schedule of rod license is in effect this spring, for the first time. Resident fishermen may still purchase a 50 cent general rod license and obtain a free stub for their wives, but this license does not permit the taking of brook , brown or rainbow trout. It covers the taking of all other game fish that may be caught legally in Michigan waters. The fisherman who wants to take trout miuat buy the new ?1.00 trout license which permits the taking of all game fish including trout. There is no free stub for the wives, however. The wife of an angler holding the ?1.00 license must buy a license of her own, either a $1.00 license if she wishes to fish for trout or a 50 cent nontrout license if she is content to take other game fish, but exempt trout from her catch. Nonresident ariglers can obtain an annual license good for the entire season for $2.00 or a ten-day license for $1.00. In either class the wife may buy a simular license for 50 cents. The licenses cover the taking of all kinds, of fish, including trout. Regardless of what kind of a license you require, don't go rtshing without it, conservation officials warn.
