TOURBT BOOK
Recreational Pictures Tell
of Clare's Tourist
Attractions
The 1940 issue of the Annual Guidebook published by the Bast Michigan
Tourist Association is off the press
and is being distributed to prospective Michigan visitors. More attractive than last year's this 88 page
"Lure Book" is printed on heavy enamel paper in two colors. This promotional piece is illustrated with 400
photographs based on the belief that
"a picture is worth a thousand words"
when it conies to selling recreational
features.
Accompanying the large book,
which is mailed to the better inquiries, is the official state highway
map, and a pocket directory "Eat,
Sleep and Shop" which contains the
essential information about places
that cater to tourists. Inquires are
obtained through newspaper and magazine advertising as well as direct
mail features. For casual inquires,
less expensive folders are used.
Clare County is featured by a two-
page spread and an entirely new layout, although a few of the photographs are the same as last year's.
These two pages contain ten pictures
showing a bathing beauty cooling
her feet in the Tobacco River, near
Farwell, informal archery at Budd
Lake, a bathing beauty at Wilson
State Park, a happy youngster sailing
a sailboat at Budd Lake, golfing
scene, two girls on a teetertotter at
Clare's trailer camp, a hefty buck
shot by a Clare hunter, a mother using a towel on two of her children
after they have been swimming, an
old Indian dugout canoe discovered
a few miles south of Harrison, and
Shuffleboard at Eight Point Lake.
In ths "Town and Tourist Centers"
section, a detailed reference is made
to Budd Lake, Clare, Harrison and
Farwell.
In a new publication—"Eat, Sleep
and Shop," the City Council of Harrison has authorized an advertisement on, the back outside cover. This
attractive ad will be sent to 50,000
prospective Michigan vacationists.

THIEVES BREAK INTO
RAfflEY'S MARKET AND
ROB CASH REGISTER
'i  ■■ r,
Several Glare Homes Entered
and Pilfered During Past
Few Days.     .
Sometime Monday, night- thieves
brooke into Ramey's Market, on East
Fourth street, entering through a
basement window at the rear of the
building. The robbery was discovered
by a clerk of the market when he
opend up at 7:.0Q o'clock Tuesday
morning. '   *
•A quantity of cigarettes and a few
dollars in change, which had been, left
in- the cash register, * was all that
was missed when the stock was
checked.
State Police were called, when the
robbery was discovered, and are
working on the case.
•A number of Clare homes have
been entered recently and money
taken while tbe owners were away,
and in one instance a lady's handbag
was stolen while the occupants were

City in Tenth
District
Membership statistics released hy
the American Legion and American
Legion Auxiliary for Michigan, as of
June 1st, received by local Legion and
Auxiliary officials this week, show the
Clare Post, Unit and Squadron to be
in excellent condition and to be occupying a high place in comparison
with the other organizations in the
State and in the Tenth District.
The June 1st reports are considered
the most reliable indication of membership strength as by this time all
but a small fraction of the membership for the year has enrolled. It is
the June 1st reports that designate
the seating of the delegates at the
Department and National Conventions
and which fix the parade positions in
marching in the Department and National Convention parades.
All three Clare organizations exceeded their last year's membership
and both the Post and Unit exceeded
the quota set for them by State Headquarters. No quota is set for Squadrons. The fine records set by the
three Clare groups speak well for the
leadership given by their officers and
the loyalty of their members,

PRIVATE PILOTS
OF EIGHT STATES
COMING^ MICH.
Parade of "Wings Over
Michigan" Planned
June 24-29
A parade of "wings over Michigan"
will be seen and heard by residents of!
this state when private pilots of eight
cooperating states arrive for the National Summer Plane Cruise, June 24-
29.
The cruise, an outgrowth of Michigan's rapid advancement in the aviation field—with special emphasis on
the private flying section—is being
sponsored by the Michigan Department of Aeronautics at Lansing, of
which Colonel Floyd E. Evans is director. Colonel Evans, well-known for
his part in. assisting Michigan's famed
"Dawn Patrol" of flivver plane pilots
to its present status, is acting as ex*-
ecutive chairman for the cruise.
The flyers, about 150 to 200, will arrive in Michigan from South Bend,
Indiana, and Toledo, Ohio, in two divisions. They will arive at Lansing and
Grand Rapids, respectively, remaining overnight before their embarkation for Traverse City.
The two groups will be feted by
Lansing Voiture 946 of 40 et 8 and
by the Association of Commerce, in
Lansing and at Grand Rapids, by the
local chapter of the National Aero-,
nautic Association, the evening of the
24th, as Michigan's "Aviation Week"
is officially opened. In Lansing the
40 et 8 society will stage an air show
as a forerunner of the cruise, on Sunday, June 23rd.
The cruise "wings" will depart oa
the morning of June 25th for the
northland, the western division flying
to Ludington, the eastern wing to
Cadillac. Arrangements have beea
completed at the latter city for a
luncheon meeting by the Chamber of.
Commerce, Rotary, and Kiwanis clubs
and a scenic tour.
The two "wings" will arvive at
Traverse City about 5:00 p. m., where
they will*be feted that evening by
civic groups. An elaborate ritual is
promised as the cruise participators
are inducted into the "Paul Bunyan.
Clan," fun organization of the Cruise,
which j|iil seek to impress the visi-.
tors' with Michigan's atmosphere of
pioneer legend.
Michigan's advanced network of airports and landing fields will be at the
disposal of the nation's flyers. The
success of the venture bids fair to
bring back additional hundreds* of air-
minded tourists to Michigan next year
RED CROSS DRIVE
NOW IN FULL SWING
IN CLARE COUNTY
The Red Cross drive for European
Relief is now in full swing in Clare
and Clare County.
As in other great catastrophes the
American Red CrOss must "follow
through" on the European job. It
has been estimated that $20,000,000
will be needed if minimum needs of
the victims of war are to be met. The
problem before tbe American Red
Cross means providing emergency
food, shelter, clothing and medical
supplies until the gap . is somehow
bridged.
Pe6ple Of Clare and vicinity should
take advantage and see the showing
of the Red GrOsg Trailer, which will
be. shown at the Ideal Theatre* during
the next two weeks.
If the solicitors should accidently
"miss you, be sure that you pljace your

Traffic Heavy
on Clare's Busy
West Fourth St.
Many comments have been made
as to the heavy traffic on Clare's
paved trunklines, but it will be of interest to the citizens of our city to
know that other streets also carry
heavy traffic.
A traffic count was made at the
Sentinel office between 7:50 and 8:10
last Saturday evening, and 135 cara
passed the office during the twenty
minutes,     . .
Plans are under.way to pave West
Fourth street and this heavy traffic
will substantiate, the,. necessity of
hard surfacing this busy street.
