Women Golfers
Complete Season
Play Wednesday
Clare's women golfers assembled on
Wednesday morning, September 25th,
lor what was probably their last
scheduled contest of the season. Prizes
were given for low putts, driving contests, and approaching contest
Nine holes were played, with Lucille
Haley wining low medal score 48, and
low putting score 13. This was remarkable because of the strong cold
wind, which handicapped everyone.
Every player drove their balls from
•number one tee, which was marked
for measuring the drives. Mrs. Haley
was the winner, having longest average drive. Mrs, Williaimi Caple and
Mrs, E. A. Anderson tied for best approaching.

Walter     Hergenroeder   is
Bound to Circuit Court
on Entering Charge
Mystery surrounds the middle aged
roan who was picked ,up Sunday afternoon by Sheriff Seaver Amble, after
a search of several hours in the woods
of Hatton township.
Conservation Officer Frank Bush, of
Harrison, reported to Amble Saturday,
that a man was sleeping in an old
abandoned house near James Hill in
Hatton township, and that they were
unable to awaken him.,
Amble investigated and found the
man still sleeping with a fur coat
covering his head. After several
minutes he awakened the" man, who
is believed to be suffering a mental
condition, and who gave his name as
Gene Knight, after hours of questioning and several other ficticious names.
After being awakened he told
officials he wouldn't go with them and
ran into the woods. After searching
until dark for him, they .abandoned
the hunt, and Sunday morning, Evart
Alien, of Dover,, reported that he believed the man to be sitting by the
road side near the Cunningham farm.
Amble picked him up and is holding
him at the county jail until further
information can be obtained.     ,     ,(

Ferris Institute Student Killed
in Crash Saturday
Evening
John Northon, local manufacturer,
was involved in an automobile accident about two miles south of Big
Rapids at about 7:00 o'clock Saturday
evening, while returning home from
the Allegan County Pair, in which a
■Ferris Institue student was fatally injured.
As Mr. Northon was driving north
on US-131 and was part way up a hill,
a ear driven by Lowell M. Fisher, 28,
of Grand'Rapids, came over the hill,
apparently out of control of the driver.
The Fisher car was reportedly over
the yellow line and passed the Northon
car on the left hand side, ripping the
right side off the Fisher car as it
crashed past the front right hand corner of the Northon car.
The force of the impact threw the
Fisher car into the ditch and James
iW. Mallett, 18, who had been hitchhiking to his hoim© in Lansing and
was an occupant of the car, was killed
in the crash.
Mr. Northon, who fortunately
escaped serious injury, was absolved
of blame and not held by officers investigating the accident.
The Fisher car was completely
wrecked and the Northon car damaged
to the extend of more than $200.
According to a cable recently received from England, by Mayor John
Wm. Dunlop, of this city, one of the
fifty destroyers exchanged by the
United States with England for the
use of certain British island possessions near this continent, for United
States Navy bases, has been naaned
"Clare."
The cable follows:
Mayor of Clare, Mich.:
Citizens of Clare, Suffolk, England,
are delighted that an American destroyer is to bear the name common
to both towns. They are grateful for
American sympathy and help thus installed and feel that every contribution the destroyers make to winning
the war against Hitlerism will be a
further reminder of what we owe to
the U.S.A. and will forge further links
in the chain of friendship which binds
together the two countries and the
two towns.

COMPLETES FIFTY
YEARS_PRACTICE
Remembered   on    Golden;
Anniversary of Servicer

"Turn backward, turn backward, o_r
time in your flight" has oft' been repeated, and today we will take yoo,
back   fifty   years   to   Clare   in   it* *
"Tester Tears."
On September 22, 1890, young mam.
caine to Clare for the first time, and!
as he walked down the main streef-
with its dirt road and board walks, he* •
passed the S. C. Kirkbride Dry Good!sp
and Shoe store; the recently opened? .
gent's clothing store of H, Razek, "The*-
Nobby Clothier," in the Doherty Operap
House Block; Nathan Bicknell's Clothing, Dry Goods and Shoe store;  Div.
John W. Dunlop's Drug store; W. H-.
Elden's Bazaar store;  Derby's Furniture and Undertaking Establishment^
the Clare County Bank of C. W. Perrjr
and William Wolsky, in which C. H-.
Sulherland was  cashier;  Mason anpl.
Boyd's grocery; Garland's Shoe storey
D. Crouse's New Blacksmith shop; A-
Louch's    Blacksmith    shop;    Friedr-.
Lange's Bakery;  J. W. Calkin's Elevator; Giberson's Clothing store; and!
the business establishments of manyr
other of Clare's pioneer business men.
This young man had graduated from
the University of Michigan Medical'
School the June before and had come-
to this comparatively new lumbering,
town to start the practice of medicine'
and surgery, and soon after his arrival
a new "shingle" was hung out in Clare
bearing the name of F. C. Sanford*.
M. D.
In an interview this week, Dr. Sanford described Clare of those days as-
a "wild and wooly lumbering town
with nine saloons" and said that when
the lumbermen came down from the"
camps, in the spring, they would whirl.
into the middle of the str.eet, have xt.
fight, get up and shake hands and go-*
back into the saloons and hav»-
another drink.
The doctor informed us that there"
was not much money in those days-
and that a person did a lot of hardL
w.oi'k without much pay. If a man-
could, get -two or three dollars a day he-
would take it, but if he couldn't gefc.
any more he would work for fiftyr
eeuts a day.
He oftes called on and cared for"
patients for two weeks at a ti|me wittw
out a nickle of pay from any of them-..
A doctor's lot then was to drive au
horse week days, night, and Sundays:
in any kind of weather, often breakinff:
his own path through snow dri-tedi
trail that had never been traversed byv
a snow plow. Sometimes one of these;
trips would take a half day to cover «f
route that would now require onlyv
fifteen or twenty minutes.
Although Dr. Sanford had kept-tus^
precise record, he has brought hundreds of babies into this worKL..unA-
doubtedly more than any other doctor:
in this community, and almost every™
one of them has lived, a number'oCf
them now prominent in the civic lifev
of Clare. *
The wants and wishes of the peopled
of fifty years ago were simpler thaat
thoso of today and it took much less;
to entertain them. Their health was:
better and they were happier aruS.
hardier, and although they sometime*
worked for what we would call a mere,
pittance, none ever starved to deathu-
The doctor's son, Dr, B. J. Sanford^.
has been associated with his father irtv
the practice of imiedicine and surgeryr
for the past twenty-five years except
for two years he spent in France,, aftear .
answering the call of England for the
aid of medical men and enlisting isa
the British army as Medical Assistant^
where he remained until April, 1919-
About a year ago, Dr. Sanford tol*
Jtev. Leah Garchow that he was jus*;
completing forty-nine years of service
and she made a note of it, and lasS;
Sunday morning he was much surprised to receive a beautiful boutfodfc
from her and Mr, Garchow bearing a
