E. Ross Farra Speaks on
Safety at   Doherty"
Hotel
The Clare Chamber of Commerce
met with the Kiwanis cluh Wednesday
evening at the Hotel Doherty with
more than sixty present for the six-
thirty dinner and safety program arranged by Art Damoth of the Kiwanian inter-club relations cohunittee and
Bob Mair and Austin Bates of the
safety committee.
Following invocation by Rev. Albert
Dawe the delicious repast was served and the members and guests introduced. Mayor John W. Dunlop
and the city council were present as
guests of the Chamber of Commerce.
President Willard Bicknell. called
the meeting to order and the program
was opened with group singing led by
Hairy Wehrly with John Davy at the
piano.
Mr. Bicknell welcomed the chamber
to the meeting, as well as several out
of town Kiwanian guests, and presented President Kenneth BarneB to the
commerce group who responded briefly.
Jack Hall then very pleasingly sang
"When Mother Nature Sings A Lullaby" and "Heaven Can Wait" accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Hall.
B. Ross Farra, of Grand Rapids, who
is in great demand as a speaker on his
favorite topic, "Safety," gave the
principal address of the evening. He
is a member of the Grand Rapids
Safety Council and American Association of Safety Engineers and an authority on the subject.
He stated that 2,000 were Trilled and
25,000 taken to hospitals in Michigan
last year as the result of traffic accidents, with a property loss of over
$10,000,000.
Mr. Farra explained that accidents
are due to two causes, approximate
and fundamental, the former being the
apparent cause and the latter the
actual cause, generally the result of
lack of mental agility such as, lack of
mental reaction to conditions and lack
of nerve force to meet unusual circumstances.
He continued that while traffic is
moving faster than even five years
ago our mentality has not kept pace,
and that public officials need the backing of civic organizations and the
community in their efforts to promote
safety. .■■..;.-,
Mr. Farra B(;ressed...the importance
of a safety committee in each municipality regardless of its size and continued that $uch a committee must define its problems, find their cause and
in cooperation with the schools and
their safety patrols, emphasize the
importance of _*aving human lives.
This can be accomplished by popularizing law obedience, law enforcement
and safe driving. - -        -     *
He laudtea "the * work- of the safety
committee1 of the ■ Kiwanis club- and
sthe school Safety patrol and -stated
that the accomplishments of such
cities as Milwaukee and New York,
which lead the nation last year in improved safety conditions,' can be're-']
peated here on a Bmaller scale.
He concluded by assuring his audience that a great "measure of satisfaction cati ;be realized by making
Michigan riot'oily a good but also a
safe place" to-live.'' "
His address' was very impressive
and we feel that he has dbne; much for
local traffic" safety by making 'his
listeners conscious of theirresponsibil-
ities to their families and ttieir community.    ' -' ■•...■-.-
FRANKLIN L. LITTLEFIELD
ELECTED CHAIRMAN CLARE
COUNTY TAX COMMISSION
The Clare County Tax Commission
met last Monday at the Court House
at HarriBon with a complete representation of the Board . in attendance.
This was the first meeting, of the 1939
members and.in organizing the Commission for the year Franklin F. Littlefield of Farwell was elected Chairman.
The Commission's veteran Chair-
Man, Peter A. Oman of Lake, was
elected Township Treasurer of Garfield Township at the spring election,
making him ineligible for appointment
for 1939 and consequently it was necessary to choose a new Chairman.
Mr. Oman's place on the Commission
was taken by Frank Brooks of Franklin Township.
Califomians
Like. Fishing
The Tobacco
Two visiting anglers, Dolores .and
Lynn Bertram of Los AngeleB, became so enthusiastic over local trout
fishing in .the Tobacco, river that an
inadvertant plunge into the icy water
dampened only their clothes and not
their spirits.
The two California girls were fishing from the bank not far from Clare
when Dolores hooked into what she
thought (and hoped) was the grand-
daddy of all trout. Glare on the water
hid the fish, and as she leaned down
to net it she slipped on the bank and
fell in beside the fish.
Lynn came, to the rescue, first netting the fish and then pulling her sister out. Soinewhat dissappointed to
find that the. alleged "granddaddy"
went only 12 inches, they both announced that "it was worth it."

Rod and Gun Cluh
Organize "Future
Farmer" Chapter
After making extensive and .we'll.,
laid plans for some time, a group of
members of the Clare Rod and Gunt
Club set forth .last Friday to, till and.
plant five acres of the local. wildlife-
sanctuary. .....
With the encouragement of the City
tractor and    Jesse.   Hampton's    old!
reliable John Deere, tractor plow,, the;.
boys started  right in. plowing—-after
getting the plow in shape..
Considering that said plow had seen
many years of service on the farm oE
Ralph Brown before coming, into
Jesse's possession and had "rusted ia
peace".for six. or seven years since,
we think, that the boys did pr.etty welt
in getting., it in shape the same day
tney j-tarted. But it is truly remarkable- what a little oil and a. lot ot
elbow grease and perspiration will dot
for a plow, and by nigntfal! they had.
the implement as good as (or a little-
better .than) new.
• On ; Saturday the boys finished the-
plowing and Thursday planted it to>
corn to furnish feed for the pheasants-
(and sheep?) in the sanctuary.
The charter members of the Rod
and Gun Cluh "Future Farmers* chapter are: HarVe j3rter, Richard Woodcock, Jesse Hampton, Lance Thayer
and Homer Stanley; and it is expected
that the name of Henry Doll will be
presented at the next meeting for
honorary membership.
But when all is said and done, the
local sportsmen's club has accomplished much in the past and. is tirelessly working for the perpetuation ot
good hunting and fishing in this com-
muriity* Much of our game and fish,
without protection, Would face extinction within a few years and this
Work is appreciated by every true-
