JAMES HENDERSON
PASSES AWAY AT
FARHJOME FRI.
Glare County Pioneer Had
Lived   Here  Past
Fifty Years
The people of Clare county were
shocked Friday . when the sad news
spread rapidly that James Henderson,
pioneer resident of this county, had
been called from his labors on earth
to his final resting place. Death came
to darken the home on Thursday evening.
Men and women in all walks of life
pa'.d him mute, humble tribute by
their presence at his funeral. The
esteem in which he was held was
manifest by the profusion of flowers
and the large number who viewed the
body while it laid chilled by the blast
of death at the funeral home.
He always saw the bright side of
life, and through his journey here on
earth he experienced all the hardships of a pioneer. The sympathies
of his heart were genuine. He felt
the pain of every sufferer and the
grief of every soul. The disappointments of a neighbor, he always felt
and was ready to share the limit.
He was an expert riverman and
lumberman. When the last timbers
were felled in Clare county he took
up his abode on the ^ve^. ftud in the
woods of tfce unpj?' peninsula. In
Clare county he-ftrpve logs on all the
larger streams in the eastern part of
the county.: .    *
He will be sincerely misled by' his
many friends in Olarp county, not only
through His' friendships," >but when, it

STUDENT COUNCIL
PURCHASE SCHOOL
BUS LAST WEEK
Ambition   of Students and
Authorities Now
Realized
The Student Council of Clare High
School, in special meeting, Monday,
January 15, upon the: recommendation
of representatives, and with the permission of. the Board of Education,
voted to purchase a used Superior-
Dodge school bus. The bus will serve
the needs of the school in all class;
room and activity excursions for
somotime.
Beginning with .the outstanding
Community Banquet last spring the
students of Clare High School have
been adding to the fund until this
purchase seemed desirable,
A bus will provide safe and sure
transportation for athletic teams,
band, class education excursions,
grade trips, and all legitimate enterprises. The relief felt by school authorities and drivers who have granted
the use of their cars so generously
will be genuine. Many times when
weather conditions were bad it was
felt that a bus would add an element
of safety. Parents have given up
other engagements to drive teams to
events and contests. The school appreciates this.
While not a new bus, this modern
bus will be adequate in every way.
This bus has been secured at no cost
to the Board of Education whatsoever.
It will not add a cent to the taxes
and will provide something of use for
children of all grades and ages. The
Student Council thanks the citizens
for their loyal support in money raising activities making this possible.
Meeting in the Green town hall
Tuesday night, a group of taxpayers
and citizens embarked' on a crusade
to effect more efficient and econmic-
al government, and formed the Clare
County Taxpayers' Association, a nonpartisan organization.     ;    ;
Purposes of the group,, as incorporated in the bylaws adopted, are:
To fi'cus the spotlight of public attention unp"n the increasingly serious
tax problem; to attack ttie/ever-moUiit>

public expenditures* 'to" eliminate
waste, inefficiency and 'duplication in
gcvenintehtal operations; to foster
economy" and efficiency in public administration, and to further the scru-'
tiny of every dollar of public expenditure by local citizens; groups so'that
they may secure a fujV dollar's value
for evety'dollar of/tax outlay.   ' '"'' "

NEW GAS FIELD

Sun Oil Strikes Heavy Gtae
Flow in  Hamilton
Township
While drilling for oil on-wildcat
land belonging to Gaylord Switzer ou
the north 1-2 of the northeast 1-4 6?
section 26, 'Hamilton township, Oars
county, the Sun'Oil Company struck a
heavy flow of natural gas Wednes- :
day night, January 17, at 1,262 feet oa
its No. 1 Switzer test.
Although equipment for gauging the
flow was not available, operatori
estimated it at 5,000,000 to-"8,000;o6&
cubic feet a day. The pressure blew
the water from an eight-inch casing.
Efforts to seal the flow were hindered by near zero temperature. The
discovery is several miles "from existing gas fields and opens up considerable new territory in Clare' County.
It is expected the Sun Oil Company -
will cement off the gas flow'from its
Switzer test and continue drilling in- *
to the Dundee forcnation in quest of
oil.
With the recent extension, of prove*
territory in the Wise oil field coming
within two miles of the Clare county
line and the discovery last week o*
new gas territory in Hamilton township, Clare county, increased "activity
is assured here during the next few
months.
