members paid in advance for the next

Clare, who sent his dues in last Monday, bringing the membership to one
hundred arid thirty-seven members.
This is the largest paid-in-advance
membership that the Clare Post, or
any other Post in this section of
Michigap, has ever had and places
the local organization as one of the
strongest Posts in this State.
While nearly all of the available
material in this territory is already
Included in the membership it is expected that the 1940 membership will
be well over one hundred and fifty
when the books for the year are
closed next autumn.
The membership committee for
1940 consists of Jay O. Bellinger,
Arthur F.. Da-moth, John W. Dunlop,
Francis Jackson, Martin Loomis,

CHILD HEALTH
ASS'N MEETS IN
SHERIDAN TWP.
Dr. C. G. Stringer Principle
Speaker Wednesday
Evening
The Clare County Child Health Association metoat the Colonville church
Wednesday evening with nearly forty
in attendance.
The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. Jay Clute, and following the
reading of the minutes by Secretary
Miss Helen - Hether, County Health
Nurse Miss Martha Knecht spoke
briefly of the .tuberculosis situation in
Clare county.
Miss Knecht stated that the reason
this particular meeting was held in
Sheridan township was that, regardless of the fact that most of our TB
cases were found in, thickly populated
centers, Sheridan township has several cases.
Dr. C. J. Stringer, of the Ingham
County Sanitorium, was the principal
speaker of the evening and spoke interestingly and convincingly of the
fight against this disease which is the
"ranking cause of death between the
ages of fifteen and forty-five years."
He continued that it was necessary
to have publicly supported separate
tuberculosis hospitals because this
was the only disease of chronic infectiousness prevailing in this country,
and that few persons could afford the
expense of the hospitalization necessary for its cure.
Symptoms in order of their prevalence are: coughing, expectoration of
sputum, fatigue, weight loss, pleurisy,
frequent head colds, hamorhage, night
sweats, and shortness of breath. The
disease is often far advanced before
the patient realizes he is infected,
and for this reason persons with any
of the symptoms should have the skin
test,. and if the necessity is indicated
chest X-ray.
Effective treatment is divided into
two classes—Physiological rest of the
involved parts or bed rest, and surgical rest brought about by the collapse of the lung by deflation, and
control of the diaphragm lying between the lungs aud abdomen through
a aiuali nerve ;n the neck.
Dr. Stringer closed his talk by saying that if every case can be isolated
and treated, tuberculosis can be controlled, as other dread disease such
as smallpox and pneumonia have in
recent years.
Before adjournment of the meeting
an interesting discussion took place,
Dr. Stringer answering clearly many
questions of cases and the disease in
general, which were asked by the i-n
terested audience.

Injuries
Three young Alma couples had a
close call last Friday night at 10:20
o'clock when a car driven by Howard
Williams was struck by an Ann Arbor
railroad locomotive at the Woodworth
avenue crossing, Alma, and was pushed about three rods along the right-
of-way and into the guard rail of a
railroad bridge over the "mill race.
The rail was smashed before the
engine could be stopped and the car
was badly damaged. If it had "been
pushed two feet further it would have
been precipitated 15 feet into the
shallow water of the mill race.
All of the occupants of the car
escaped severe injury, although Mrs.
Williams was reported cut about one
leg, With Mr. and Mrs. Williams in
the vehicle were Mr. and Mrs. Donald McDonald and Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Watson. They were on their way
to the high school alumni association
annual party when the accident occurred.
Mrs. McDonald is the daughter Of
Mr. and Mrs. George White of this

The J. V. Wicklund Development
Company—E. L. Leosh No. 1 oil well,
completed Sunday, December 31st, on
the SEi/4 of SW%, section 8 Wise
township, promises to be one of the
best wells in this area.
The new weli is located in previously unproven territory, about a half
mile northwest of the Wise field. This
completion opens territory for about
four offsets and probably twenty to
twenty-five new locations.
Although no official test had been
made up to Tuesday, tubing was being
run in preparation to acidize the well.
The fact that oil had come up 1200
feet in the pipe in four hours, gave
promise of a good producer.

The Michigan Tuberculosis Association will conduct a chest X-ray clinic
for Clare County Wednesday morning,
January 10, at the County Nurse's office in the City of Clare, according to
Dr. E. V. Thiehoff, director of health
district seven. Arrangements for an
X-ray should be made at once through
Miss Knecht, Clare County Nurse.
Since tuberculosis is such a very
communicable disease; the association]*£
attempts to help locate e.arly cases
by means of X-ray clinics. It stresses
the importance of tuberculin testing
and X-raying persons who have come
in contact with active tuberculosis—
for it is only by contact that the
disease is spread.
By means of an X-ray, tuberculosis
disease may be discovered before the
usual symptoms of coughing, tiredness
and loss of weight appear. When such
characteristics are present, much ser*
ious harm will already have heen done
to the patient himself and his associates. Michigan Tuberculosis Association clinics are made possible
through funds received in the annual
sale of Christmas seals.

CLARE COUNTY
LEADS STATE IN
OIL PRODUCTION
Industry   Establishes New
Record in Completing
Its 15th Year
New records for crude Oil production and the number of wellB drilled
were established in 1939 as the Michigan oil industry completed its 15th
year.
During the 12 months completed December 31, approximately 23,500,000
barrels of crude oil were produced.
The 1938 output, the previous record,
was 18,744,000 barrels. Value of the
oil produced in 1939 was approximately $13,000,000 at the well head.
Natural gas production for the year
was valued at approximately $1,000,-
000.
Major development of fields in
southwestern Michigan resulted in the
completion of 1,476 wells in 1939, as
compared to 1,018 in 1938. In this
area wells averaged from 1,200 to
1,900 feet in depth and can be completed in six to 12 days.
In other years the bulk of development was in the central part of the
state where well depths range from
3,500 to 4,000 feet and require from
25 to 50 days to drill. It "was the
first time since 1929 that southwestern Michigan played an important
part in the state's crude oil produp-
tion. Approximately 11,000,000 barrels were produced in fields in Kent,
Van Buren and Allegan counties.
Clare county led all other fields in
production, however, with *t,821,00O
barrels pumped -from the Temple
field. The Bloomingdale field in Van
Buren county produced 3,375,000 barrels and the Walker field, just outside of Grand RapidB produced 2,600,-
000 barrels.
Sixteen new oil pools were opened
during 1939 but at the end of thB
year none of the new (Mscoveries
loomed as major finds.
