CLARE COUNTY
IPES CYCLON
m AFTERNOON
Many Counties Feel Storm's
Wrath in Its Mad Career
Across State
Tornadoes spun like tops across
Michigan late Tuesday afternoon, dipped down in a score or more spotB to
wreck havoc with trees, wires and
farm buildings, caused one death,
brought injury to a score or so, left
several hundreds homeless, then vanished as quiclkly as they had come.
The storm cut a freakish path
across from Kalamazoo to Lapeer,
gave Saginaw county a taste of violence when a twister descended in the
Dice area, between Saginaw and Free-
land, topping baras and lesser farm
buildings, uprooting giant trees and
tossing them about like matchsticks,
snapping off telephone poles and
tangling them in a snarl of wires'.
The tornadoes, literally hopping
hedges in their cross-country flight,
would dip down for a ripping, slashing raid of a few miles along the
earth's surface, then bob up two or
three hundred feet into the air and
zoom away, perhaps on an entirely
altered course.
Estimates of damage to buildings,
trees and crops ranged upward to
$1,000,000 as crews of workers surveyed the path of the storin and relief
agencies marshaled forces to give aid.
Kalamazoo county, where the winds
were said to be the most devastating
in the history of the area, bore the
brunt of the storm. Kent, Midland,
Lapeer, Jackson, Montcalm, Gratiot,
Newago and Isabella counties also
were hit.
Caught when a greenhouse collapsed under the wind's force, Lester
Baker, 31, of Scotts. was killed. Mrs.
Gus Lindell of South Comstock, near
Kalamazoo, was critically injured
when her home was wrecked. Nine
persons were in hospitals in Grand
Rapids and Alma, though none was
believed critically hurt.
Power lines were temporarily put
out of service in the hardhit South
Comstock area and telephone service
was disrupted. State, county and city
police, mobilizing scores of deputies
to regulate traffic and prevent looting of damaged buildings, worked
with the aid of flickering lanterns.
Many families remained in their broken homes throughout the rainy night
rather than risk having their jumbled
possessions ransacked under cover of
darkness. Homeless were housed in
undamaged residences of neighbors.
Clare county, as far as we can
learn, escaped damage and caught no
glimpse of the whirling twister
clouds. There were occasional gusts
of wind, a hard downpour of rain, but
no hint of anything approaching peril
to life or major property damage.

GEORGELAST WEEK
Play at Community Hall and
Enjoy Weiner Roast at
Tourist Park
The people of Lake George appreciated the visit of the Walter H. Lar-
man Post Drum and Bugle Corps, of
Clare, last week Wednesday evening,
and are proud to have two members of
the organization hi our village.
The heavy showers of the afternoon threatened to spoil the evening's entertainment, but just as the
sun went down it came through the
clouds and was shining brightly as
the cars filled with Legionnaires commenced to arrive at the Community
Hall.
They were soon ready to march, and
marched up to the center square,
where they played several pieces before going to the tourist camp for the
weiner roast. Later they played a few
more selections at the Community
Hall before bidding us adieu.
All enjoyed the evening and wish
to extend their appreciation and
thanks to the Drum and Bugle Corps
for the entertainment and willingness
to cooperate in any activity.
From the Community of
Lake George
The boys came marching down the
street.
The bugles played the drums they
beat,
The people cheered and .then did
shout,
LEASES ON STATE
LANDS IN COUNTY
TO BEJUCTIONED
Leases on Acreage in Proven Territory Offered
August 10th
Oil and gas rights on acreage adjoining the Freeman-Redding field in
Clare county, most recently developed
field in central Michigan, will be offered for sale at a public auction
scheduled to be held in the office of
the lands division of the state department of conservation in Lansing, August 10.
Located close to a field where conservation officials said several sensational drillings had been conducted,
the land comprises 72 acres in four
lots in Redding township.
The acreage is classified as "proven lands," being on the northwest
edge of tho Freeman-Redding field
which, up to June 1, had produced
2,712,000 barrels. Officials estimated
that by now at least three-quarter million more barrels had been produced
there.
Only a year old, having been discovered in July 1938, the Freeman-Redding field *s still under development
and its limits have not yet been outlined.
The sale offer is made with the understanding that successful bidders
shall agree to develop the lands in
accordance with the 20-acre drilling
plan now in effect in the field. A
pro-rated production limit of 250 barrels a day was ordered for the field
by the state superintendent of wells.
Officials said it was quite possible
that wells drilled in the acreage now
offered for lease would reach the prorated limit, in which event the state
would collect royalty on the basis of
one-fifth of the oil produced. This
royalty rate is set slightly in advance
of usual royalties because the land is
in the "proven" classification. This
involves a sliding scale of royalty payments ranging from one-eighth to one-
fourth, depending upon the average
daily production per well for the calendar month.
The Clara High School Band drove
to School Section Lake, five miles
west of Remus, Thursday, August 3rd,
to play for the Consumers POwer Company picnic and to take part in the
games and festivities, The band played intermittently for an hour and a
half, under the direction of Richard
Greenfield, the school band director.
The regular Wednesday night concert by the band was rained out last
week aud this week's concert was
canceled because of the failure of the
lighting system. Scheduled numbers by the German Band, composed
of Henry Denton, Maurice B. Cramer,
Bernard Wyman, Hugh Maxwell and
Donald Woolston, and ensemble numbers by the band will be rendered
next week.
Next Wednesday night will be the
last in the series of summer concerts
to be given at the park, under the
auspices of the school board and the
Chamber of Commerce. Special preparations are under way .to make this
one of the best concerts of the season.

The storm cut a freakish path across from Kalamazoo to Lapeer, gave Saginaw county a taste of violence when a twister descended in the Dice area, between Saginaw and Free- land, topping baras and lesser farm buildings, uprooting giant trees and tossing them about like matchsticks, snapping off telephone poles and tangling them in a snarl of wires'. The tornadoes, literally hopping hedges in their cross-country flight, would dip down for a ripping, slashing raid of a few miles along the earth's surface, then bob up two or three hundred feet into the air and zoom away, perhaps on an entirely altered course. Estimates of damage to buildings, trees and crops ranged upward to $1,000,000 as crews of workers surveyed the path of the storin and relief agencies marshaled forces to give aid. Kalamazoo county, where the winds were said to be the most devastating in the history of the area, bore the brunt of the storm. Kent, Midland, Lapeer, Jackson, Montcalm, Gratiot, Newago and Isabella counties also were hit. Caught when a greenhouse collapsed under the wind's force, Lester Baker, 31, of Scotts. was killed. Mrs. Gus Lindell of South Comstock, near Kalamazoo, was critically injured when her home was wrecked. Nine persons were in hospitals in Grand Rapids and Alma, though none was believed critically hurt. Power lines were temporarily put out of service in the hardhit South Comstock area and telephone service was disrupted. State, county and city police, mobilizing scores of deputies to regulate traffic and prevent looting of damaged buildings, worked with the aid of flickering lanterns. Many families remained in their broken homes throughout the rainy night rather than risk having their jumbled possessions ransacked under cover of darkness. Homeless were housed in undamaged residences of neighbors. Clare county, as far as we can learn, escaped damage and caught no glimpse of the whirling twister clouds. There were occasional gusts of wind, a hard downpour of rain, but no hint of anything approaching peril to life or major property damage.

Picnic DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS VISIT LAKE GEORGELAST WEEK Play at Community Hall and Enjoy Weiner Roast at Tourist Park The people of Lake George appreciated the visit of the Walter H. Lar- man Post Drum and Bugle Corps, of Clare, last week Wednesday evening, and are proud to have two members of the organization hi our village. The heavy showers of the afternoon threatened to spoil the evening's entertainment, but just as the sun went down it came through the clouds and was shining brightly as the cars filled with Legionnaires commenced to arrive at the Community Hall. They were soon ready to march, and marched up to the center square, where they played several pieces before going to the tourist camp for the weiner roast. Later they played a few more selections at the Community Hall before bidding us adieu. All enjoyed the evening and wish to extend their appreciation and thanks to the Drum and Bugle Corps for the entertainment and willingness to cooperate in any activity. From the Community of Lake George The boys came marching down the street.

Located close to a field where conservation officials said several sensational drillings had been conducted, the land comprises 72 acres in four lots in Redding township. The acreage is classified as "proven lands" being on the northwest edge of tho Freeman-Redding field which, up to June 1, had produced 2,712,000 barrels. Officials estimated that by now at least three-quarter million more barrels had been produced there. Only a year old, having been discovered in July 1938, the Freeman-Redding field *s still under development and its limits have not yet been outlined. The sale offer is made with the understanding that successful bidders shall agree to develop the lands in accordance with the 20-acre drilling plan now in effect in the field. A pro-rated production limit of 250 barrels a day was ordered for the field by the state superintendent of wells. Officials said it was quite possible that wells drilled in the acreage now offered for lease would reach the prorated limit, in which event the state would collect royalty on the basis of one-fifth of the oil produced. This royalty rate is set slightly in advance of usual royalties because the land is in the "proven" classification. This involves a sliding scale of royalty payments ranging from one-eighth to one- fourth, depending upon the average daily production per well for the calendar month. The Clara High School Band drove to School Section Lake, five miles west of Remus, Thursday, August 3rd, to play for the Consumers POwer Company picnic and to take part in the games and festivities, The band played intermittently for an hour and a half, under the direction of Richard Greenfield, the school band director.

Scheduled numbers by the German Band, composed of Henry Denton, Maurice B. Cramer, Bernard Wyman, Hugh Maxwell and Donald Woolston, and ensemble numbers by the band will be rendered next week. Next Wednesday night will be the last in the series of summer concerts to be given at the park, under the auspices of the school board and the Chamber of Commerce. Special preparations are under way .to make this one of the best concerts of the season.
