The Clare County Board of Supervisors met in their regular annual October session last week. One of the
most important issues was that of
public welfare. The Board of Supervisors decided to adopt the dual control system of relief in spite of the
fact that many believe this system
will be more expensive and will involve greater cost from county funds.
The following recommendation was
accepted unanimously on Wednesday,
October 11- by the Board:
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors:
We, the Study Committee, make the
following recommendations:
I. That this county adopt the dual
system of social welfare.
II. That the county be divided into
three districts similar to that now
adopted by the Poor Commission, and
one member elected from each district
to constitute the County Department
of Social Welfare.

Funeral Services Conducted
at Doherty Funeral Home
Wednesday Afternoon
John Livingston, for many years a
resident of Clare county, passed away
at his home in Sheridan township Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock.
Mr. Livingston was born the son.
of John and Maryanne Livingston, in
Newtownbarry, Ireland, December 20,
1859, and passed away October 15,
1939, at the age of seventy-nine years,
nine months and twenty-six days.
He came to America when a ycung
man and was united in marriage to
Miss Hattie Leona Loomis November
18, 1903, at Clare.
Surviving to mourn their loss besides the bereaved wife are the following children:. Mrs. Martha Geigex*, of
Beaverton, Homer M., of Clare, John
William, Emma Marian and Floyd L*.,
all at home. Also a granddaughter,
Janet Marian Geiger; a grandson,
Ronald J, Livingston; a son-in-law and
daughtei*-in-law; two brothers,,Robert,
of Ii*eiand,"<in_ Joshua^*"of Parma,
Michigan; two nephews and a niece,
one in California and Robert and Susan Barclay, of Marshall, Michigan;
other relatives and a host of friends.
Services were held from the Thurston Funeral Home Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, with Rev. James
•A. Rogers officiating, and interment
was made in Cherry Grove cemetery.
On Tuesday, October 10, at a meeting of the Clare Study Club, Wayne
Perkins and Miss Gertrude McAlouan,
having recently reached their majority, were presented with "Citizenship
Birthday Cake3," by Mrs, A. E. Mulder, chairman of Citizenship's in the
Michigan State Federation of
Women's Clubs.
At a District meeting of the Federation held in Bay City early in October, Mrs. Mulder was called upon
to give plans outlined by .the General Federation Chairman, Mrs. Claus-
sen, of Wisconsin. These plans stress
the need for greater recognition of
our young voters,
Wisconsin is leading the way with
"County Citizenship Day", at which
time it is designed all who become
citizens by any means shall be the
center of an appropriate patriotic
ceremony. Detailed plans may be had
by writing to General Federation
Headquarters, 1734 N. St., Washington, D. C.
Fredrtc A. Ogg, Professor of Poit-
ical Science in the University of
Wisconsin, says, "Next to the weather there is probably nothing about
which people are more prone to complain, than government." We do so
much complaining without explaining,
that our young people may be lead to
think "If there is so much the matter
with the government let's overthrow
it and start all over again." AVe believe there is a need for a day when
we oldsters and youngsters may meet
and take stock of the glory that is
ours, living in a Democracy. May we
in Michigan establish this day also
and give out certificates that read
something- like this:

Annual  Appropriation Assures Community of
Splendid Service
.. - - a
The Clare County Board of Supervisors is to be highly commended for
their action in regard to the annual
appropriation to the Tri-County
Health Unit. The appropriation' of
?800 for the county's share of the ex-"
pense of the unit not only assures
the continuation of the work here, but
is a forward step towards making the
unit permanent in this community.
It also assures the support, in a
much greater measure, of the Children's Fund of Mcihigan and ' the
State and Federal Governments. Last
year imore than $20,000 was spent in
the three counties comprising the district, namely Clare, Arenac''and Gladwin, with Clare county receiving its
full share of the benefits.
During the coming year, hot only
will many needy children be assured
of the proper fitting of glasses and
dental attention, but the-entire community will beuetit by the general
.nursing servic-i and health program'
carried but through the schools and
directly to the homes.
Among the more important features
of the activities of the unit are: prevention and control of communicable
diseases, prenatal and postnatal attention to mothers and infants, examinations and inspections of preschool
and school children, general nursing
services and sanitary inspection of
water and milk supplies and home
surroundings.
