MICHIGAN PEOPLE
WILL PAY $20,000,000
FOR SUGAR IN YEAR
Demanding Michigan-made Beet
Sugar Will Increase
Farm Revenues
Michigan people will buy more than
$20,000,000 worth of sugar during the
next twelve months. By demanding
Michigan-made beet sugar consumers
will have a splendid opportunity for
preserving this purchasing power for
Michigan farmers and wage earners,
instead of sending it to foreign countries. This was revealed today by
Arthur A, Schupp, executive secretary
of the Farmers and Manufacturers
Beet Sugar Association.
"Not only is Michigan's beet sugar
industry of vital importance to the
state's agricultural and business life,
but it is of equal importance to sugar
consumers," he added. "Were it not
for this industry, sugar buyers would
be at the mercy of foreign sugar interests who would obviously dominate
the sugar market."
"Unfortunately, some people of
Michigan have been more .or less
apathetic towards their sugar industry
and by reason of this failure to demand Michigan-made beet sugar, a
Considerable portion of. past production has had to find a market outside
of the state. This, in twm, has operated to the detriment of Michigan farmers, and is to some degree responsible
for lack of development of the beet
sugar industry," he said.

WALTER H. LARMAN
POST LEADS DISTRICT
IN 1940 MEMBERSHIP
Receives Most Distinguished
Citation From State
Headquarters
. This week Tenth District Commander Conrad Walker received from State
American Legion Headquarters' a list
of all Honor Roll Posts in Michigan.
The list stated:-
"Most Distinguished Citation Posts.
Fifty Posts in the Department enrolled
a 1940 -membership Which equalled or
exceeded their 1939 membership by
Armistice Day. For this achievement
they will receive a national Most
Distinguished Membership Citation
which is awarded by the National
organization. Thirty-three out of the
Fifty have also surpassed their 1940
quota."
Among the fifty Posts listed were
three from the Tenth District which
speaks well for the District Commander. The three over their last year's
membership in this territory are
Clare, Mio and Reed City. Of these
Clare is also over its quota.
This year the National Commander,
Rayinond'J. Kelly* is from Detroit and
the sixty Detroit Posts and the many
others in neighboring territory have
been rr airing a strenuous campaign for
members, The number making this
record, most of whom are in the Detroit territory, is quite a bit larger
than most years;
The local Post was the second Post
in Michigan to go over the top and
by Armistice Day,_lt had more than
doubled its 1939 iMmbership as well
as being over its. quota by forty members. This is an unusual record and
one which has given the local organization nluch praise from State Headquarters,
Among the twenty-three Posts in
the Tenth District usually not more
than one or two achieve this record
each year,. The fact that three Posts
accomplished this in i_ 40 is a matter
for which the District and its Commander may well feel proud. The
Clare Post has always been outstanding in its membership, this being the
fourth time im the last seven years
that it has received the Most Distinguished Citation. "
The Clare High School Senior Class
have chosen for their annual play, .the
Samuel French Royalty production
"Stop Thief", by Carlyle Moore. :
The play is now being reheased under the direction of John Speare, instructor of English and Dramatics, for
presentation Wednesday, December
13th.

CONTINUE HUNT
WITHJUCCESS
"Chick" Brown Gets First
Buck on Thirtieth
Annual Trip
With the 1939 deer hunting season
entering its second week, thrilling
stories of the hunt continue to come
from the camps.
Jesse Hampton's "eagle eye" seems
to be wavering a wee bit. In the
first days of hunting he iust^about
wore the barrel of his rifle outwitn-
out getting his buck. Why not try
a shot gun and slugs, Jesse?
, J,. Q. Marotzke after trying for four
years, really "rang the bell" this year
When he shot a 152 pound eleven
pointer, with an eighteen and'a half
inch spread, at 1:00 o'clock the first
Thursday afternoon,
Jesse Lamphere and his friend, Guy
Wilson, of Flint, went to sleep on the
job up near Lilly Lake the first of
last week. They dragged themselves
out of bed and after driving several
miles and walking a few more, arrived at "just the right spot" before
dawn. Following an uneventful forenoon the boys dropped off to sleep
and each rsays he awoke just in time
to see a big buck nearly step on the
others toes and disappear in . the
thicket." But this "was not "enough—
after trudging back to their car they
found fresh tracks all around- it.
When we gave Mrs. G. C. Born
credit for getting the family buck last
week, Doc took it as a challenge- and
went out Friday morning and shot
another at 7:45 o'clock, , .
Harold Loomis went out and "trimmed the hair" on a nice buck Saturday morning! The buck must have
liked his hair cut because he came
Home with Harold.
While the George White family were
discussing their buck the other day,
when their son, Dale, volunteered
some information that made George
blush. We cannot divulge the information, but if you see Dale when
George is not around, maybe he will
tell you all about it.

first day of the season and went back

By demanding Michigan-made beet sugar consumers will have a splendid opportunity for preserving this purchasing power for Michigan farmers and wage earners, instead of sending it to foreign countries. This was revealed today by Arthur A, Schupp, executive secretary of the Farmers and Manufacturers Beet Sugar Association. "Not only is Michigan's beet sugar industry of vital importance to the state's agricultural and business life, but it is of equal importance to sugar consumers" he added. "Were it not for this industry, sugar buyers would be at the mercy of foreign sugar interests who would obviously dominate the sugar market." "Unfortunately, some people of Michigan have been more .or less apathetic towards their sugar industry and by reason of this failure to demand Michigan-made beet sugar, a Considerable portion of. past production has had to find a market outside of the state. This, in twm, has operated to the detriment of Michigan farmers, and is to some degree responsible for lack of development of the beet sugar industry" he said.

This week Tenth District Commander Conrad Walker received from State American Legion Headquarters' a list of all Honor Roll Posts in Michigan. The list stated:- "Most Distinguished Citation Posts. Fifty Posts in the Department enrolled a 1940 -membership Which equalled or exceeded their 1939 membership by Armistice Day. For this achievement they will receive a national Most Distinguished Membership Citation which is awarded by the National organization. Thirty-three out of the Fifty have also surpassed their 1940 quota." Among the fifty Posts listed were three from the Tenth District which speaks well for the District Commander. The three over their last year's membership in this territory are Clare, Mio and Reed City. Of these Clare is also over its quota. This year the National Commander, Rayinond'J. Kelly* is from Detroit and the sixty Detroit Posts and the many others in neighboring territory have been rr airing a strenuous campaign for members, The number making this record, most of whom are in the Detroit territory, is quite a bit larger than most years; The local Post was the second Post in Michigan to go over the top and by Armistice Day,_lt had more than doubled its 1939 iMmbership as well as being over its. quota by forty members. This is an unusual record and one which has given the local organization nluch praise from State Headquarters, Among the twenty-three Posts in the Tenth District usually not more than one or two achieve this record each year,. The fact that three Posts accomplished this in i_ 40 is a matter for which the District and its Commander may well feel proud. The Clare Post has always been outstanding in its membership, this being the fourth time im the last seven years that it has received the Most Distinguished Citation. " The Clare High School Senior Class have chosen for their annual play, .the Samuel French Royalty production "Stop Thief", by Carlyle Moore. : The play is now being reheased under the direction of John Speare, instructor of English and Dramatics, for presentation Wednesday, December 13th.

LOCAL NIMRODS CONTINUE HUNT WITHJUCCESS "Chick" Brown Gets First Buck on Thirtieth Annual Trip With the 1939 deer hunting season entering its second week, thrilling stories of the hunt continue to come from the camps. Jesse Hampton's "eagle eye" seems to be wavering a wee bit. In the first days of hunting he iust^about wore the barrel of his rifle outwitn- out getting his buck. Why not try a shot gun and slugs, Jesse? , J,. Q. Marotzke after trying for four years, really "rang the bell" this year When he shot a 152 pound eleven pointer, with an eighteen and'a half inch spread, at 1:00 o'clock the first Thursday afternoon, Jesse Lamphere and his friend, Guy Wilson, of Flint, went to sleep on the job up near Lilly Lake the first of last week. They dragged themselves out of bed and after driving several miles and walking a few more, arrived at "just the right spot" before dawn. Following an uneventful forenoon the boys dropped off to sleep and each rsays he awoke just in time to see a big buck nearly step on the others toes and disappear in . the thicket." But this "was not "enough— after trudging back to their car they found fresh tracks all around- it. When we gave Mrs. G. C. Born credit for getting the family buck last week, Doc took it as a challenge- and went out Friday morning and shot another at 7:45 o'clock, , . Harold Loomis went out and "trimmed the hair" on a nice buck Saturday morning! The buck must have liked his hair cut because he came Home with Harold. While the George White family were discussing their buck the other day, when their son, Dale, volunteered some information that made George blush. We cannot divulge the information, but if you see Dale when George is not around, maybe he will tell you all about it.
