VACATION SCHOOL
Bible Glasses Will be Taught
in Large Tent Near
Church
The Daily Vacation Bible School under the direction qf The Rural Bible
Missionary Association, sponsored by
The Clare Baptist Church and The
Dover Tabernacle, will begin next
Monday morning, July 17th, at 9:00
a, m. and thru to Saturday, July 22nd.
Due to the inability of obtaining an
auditorium1 and facilities large enough
to accomodate this Community Bible
School a large tent will be erected
next to the Baptist Church which will
provide room for all who care to come.
The Rural Bible Missionary Association, who5 will-have charge of this
Community Bible School, is an organization dedicated to the purpose of
getting the gospel message to the
1,400,000 children of school age in the
83 counties of Michigan and especially the 300,000 who live in the rural
sections, many of whom are without
Church and Sunday School privileges.
The Association, under the able
leadership of Rev. B. P. Hitchcock and
a staff of efficient workers, has reached thousands of children in churches
of all Denominations during the past
three years.
The Community Bible School beginning at Clare next Monday morning is
furnishing free and safe transportation to all who can come from the
rural districts, thru the medium of a
fleet of large buses owned and operated by the Rural Missionary Association for this purpose and all under
the care of safe christian drivers,
augmented by several school buses
loaned by school boards who are desirous of having the children under
their supervision enjoy this special
privilege of free Bible study.
The school districts that have registered and to whom free transportation
will be furnished are the Vernon
Schools No. 1 and 2, the Wild Cat,
Colonville, Dover, Randall, West
Grant, Hinkleville, Mann Siding, Hat-
ton, Lake George, Doc and Tom,
Windover Lake, Lake Station, and
Farwell schools. Everyone of "school
age is invited and if you»have failed
to register you may board the buses
at any of these school houses with all
of those who have registered.
The assistance of all pastors and
christian workers who believe the
Bible will be welcomed, since, due to
this extensive community effort, more
teachers than those provided by the
staff of the Rural Bible Missionary
Association, The diare Baptist Church
and The Dover Tabernacle will be
needed.

east and west at present and that no
particular benefit to the motorist
would result in routing the present
traffic over US-10 through the cities
of Chicago and Detroit where these
cities have traffic problems due to
the. great amount of traffic existing
over the Federal Highways which are
routed through them at present.
"We are well acquainted with the
fact that most of the people crossing
Lake Michigan from Ludington to
Manitowoc do so through their own
choosing in crder to enjoy the boat
trip. So the fact that they must ferry
across the lake is no hindrance to
their travel. The present route is
shorter and more scenic.
"It should be sufficient to merely
call this news story to your attention
to secure your cooperation in contacting your Congressmen and Senators
in Waschington D. C. and ask that
they exert every effort to leave the
routing of US-10 as it is at present.
"May we urge you to have all interested persons in your community
write at once and ask that the present
routing be retained."
We can see no tourist or economic
advantage in rerouting this principal
artery of traffic through Michigan and
feel sure that every community in
the state, traversed by it, will cooperate in retaining its present location.
Last Monday evening the annual
meeting and election of Officers of
Walter H. Larmon • Post No- 128,

including one from J. A. Blaha, Correspondent of Voiture No. 397 of the
Forty and Eight, asking for a lis^ of

Legislation was completed at the
final session of the legislature to prevent evasions of the sales tax' law as
affecting automobiles. The new act
makes it a misdemeanor for a car
dealer to permit an owner of a used
car that the dealer buys to make the
title out to anyone other than the
dealer accepting the car as' a trade-
in credit. Previously title in many
cases' did not pass until the used car
had been re-sold and then from
owner to owner, not mentioning the
dealer. These ''casual sales" as they
were termed thus avoided and evaded
collection of sales tax. Secretary of

Homo economics club members in
two communities requested sewing

Bell, agricultural engineer from Michigan State College. Mr. Bell will be
at the Frost Town Hall on Thursday,
August 3, and on the following day he
will meet with the women in the Elm
Grove cemmunity.
These schools are conducted to assist the women with securing a better
knowledge of their machines. The
meeting begins at 10 o'clock and continues until each machine is in good
working order, Mr. Bell does hot Bell
parts so any broken pieces should be
replaced before the school opens, Mrs.
Ira Miller, Star Route, Harrison, is enrolling the women in the Frost locality and Miss Florence Hildebrandt,
Route No. 2, Clare, is listing names of
the women who plan to attend the
second day clinic.
Any woman who is interested in receiving help with her machine should
contact either Mrs. Miller or Miss
Hildebrandt by July 18. These schools
are open to the public and no charge
is made for services extended.
Although school is closed and
classes are riot in session, the boys
enrolled in Agriculture at Clare High
School are continuing their vocational agricultural education during the
summer months.
Thirty-four boys are conducting a
total of forty-five productive projects
on their home farms, under the supervision of J. C. Hansen, agriculture
instructor. In working on these projects each boy is expected to follow
farming practices which have been approved as necessary to the successful
management of that enterprise.
Enterprises being worked on this
summer include cranberry beans,
kidney beans, potatoes, corn, -oats,
chickens, beef feeding, swine and
dairy cows.
The animal projects are the most
popular ones as two thirds of the enterprises are of this nature. Most of
the projects are looking better at this
season than at any time for several
years—probably due to the excellent
crop and pasture .growing conditions,
In addition to they-productive projects, several boys are carrying home
improvement projects which will not
necessarily bring an income to the
boy, but,will increase the value of the
farm. These enterprises include such
jobs as landscaping the home grounds,
painting, building- repair and construction, woodlot improvement, etc.
In summarizing last summer's program figures show that twenty-two
projects were completed. These showed a net profit of $495.65. The boys
allowed ?235.40 for their own labor
making a net project income of 731.-
05. This figure would be low in some
years and can be accounted for because of generally low farm prices.
The Clare F. F. A', chapter under the
leadership of the president, Roger
'Hai-ihg, Is planning a tour of these
projects during the'first week in August. The chapter also has an organized ball team, playing with neighboring chapters. A three day camping
trip in upper Michigan is another
planned activity for August.
APPROXIMATELY 600
PEOPLE VISIT OPENING OF MODEL HOME
Mayor Dunlop States That
Low Cost House Meets
Long-Felt  Need
The first "Demonstration Home"
built in Clare to demonstrate that
prospective homeowners can buy well'
built small houses at a very modeSt
cost, was officially opened here Saturday afternoon.
This model home located at 407
Wheaton Ave,, iS one of five being
built herfe by Clare Elevator Co. in cooperation yfith. the Johns-Manville
Corporation. The houses are part ojt
a national, small homes program, spbne
sored by thirty-one building materjal
firms, trade associations and the FI H.
A. and designed to provide low cost
dwellings for thousands of V. S. fain-'
ilies.
"This house marks a noteworthy
step in homebuilding," Mayor Joha
W. Dunlop said upon receiving the key
to the dwelling for the official opening," and Gus Marotzke and his son,
J. C. of the Clare Elevator Co. a^e to
be congratulated on their cooperation
with this national program. Low cost
houses which are sound and well built
have been, and still are, the great need
of this country. The men and the
organization that will build houses the
average man can afford are rendering a great service to the home-laving'
people of this country."
The house is a cottage-type bungalow design with convenient ro.om arrangement and plenty of closet ^pace
and a full basement with an 8 i-2 foot
ceiling.
The outside of the liouse is of
particularly interesting appearance. It
is on a 66x132 foot lot, including ,«,
garden, codar and spruce shrubbery.
The attractive oyster white color of
the asbestos clapboard siding,
brightened by the colorful design ol
the roofing- shingles, adds contrast to
the picture.
Features of the house are insulation
with rock wool, 'wliieh will help to
make it cooler in -summer and easier
to heat "in Winter, and lire resistant
roof^and sidewalls.
Wide spread" local interest in low'
cost homes Was evidenced by the fact
that since it was opened for inspection
approximately 600 people have visited
the model "All-Weather Comfofct
Home." '. ■   '   i - .   ''';:'''
According to the' builder, visitors express surprise that this moderately
priced house' is so roomy and well-
built. They also show a great deal of
interest in the display of modern building materials which went into the
house.    ;   ■
This display, arranged by, the Clare
Elevator Co., includes rock wOOl home
insulation, the insulating board lath
that serves the dual purpose of plaster base and side-wall insulation, the
fire-resistant, long wearing asphalt
roofing shingles' and the asbestos
cement siding.
This siding which is fireproof, rot-
proof and never requires paint to preserve it, is the center of greatest afc
tention, Mr. Marotzke said.
He is n6w making plans for the
opening of the second model "All-
Weather Comfort Home" located at
212 East ith St.

Whether it is the natural environment, the. wealth of outdoor subject;

Clare.
Olney Hawkins, formerly of this
city and a graduate of Clare High.
School with the class of 1905, now lir-
ing at Portland, Oregon, has guided
the lives of his two sons, John and
Ward, along the roa"d to literary success until today both young men are
writing articles for Collier's Weekly
magazine.
A story entitled "Without Luck,"
written by John, appears in this week's

the hard way, that without sound construction bridges and lives may
crumble to ruin, but who eventually
won success and the girl he loved.
