NEW OIL FIELD
IN WINTERFIELD
NOWJRODUCING
Active Drilling  in   Proven
Territory Produces
New Wells
The prospects for a new oil field
four miles northwest of Temple, in
Winterfield township, Clare county,
are bright at the present time with
three producers in four completions on
sections 29 and 35.
Romor Corporation and Sun Oil each
have completed producers on section
29, and iSun Oil another producer on
section .35, while Pure Oil has completed a.well on section 29, which has
not as yet produced, but at press time
had not been abandoned.
In proven territory, Freeman-Bick-
nell No. 1 on the sy2, NE, NE, Sec. 34,
Redding township, came in Wednesday, was swabbed out Thursday morning and although no definite estimate
was available, promises to be a good
producer.
The Lupher Drilling company is
starting a Dundee oil test just south
of Nollem Oil and Gas company's
famous Bowman No. 1, section 27 of
Vernon township, Isabella county. The
Bowman well, completed in April,
1930, for a 70 barrel producei', as the
discovery well in Vernon, holds the
state record for sustained flowing life.
The well flowed natural until last
spring when it was acidized for the
first time. It has been flowing since
and to date never has been pumped.
The new test is also on the Bowman
farm and will be known as the Bow
man B No. 1. •!

Sang for Joseph Horan
Wednesday
Solemn Requiem High Mass was
sung by the Rev. Father Gordan
Grant, Father Louis Prohaska, Wm
Murphy, Father Steves assistant, Wednesday, January 15, 1941, at St
Henry's church, in Vernon township,
for Joseph Horan, who died at his
home Sunday, January 12th, at the age
of ninety-three years.
Mr. Horan was born January' 4,
1848, at Owen Sound, Canada, and
came to Isabella county with his
brother, William, in 1876. After building his first log cabin on the site of
his present farm, he married B. E.

born, - Vincent Horan, Oswal Horan,
Mary Murphy, Sophia Horan, Bene-
dicta Moon, Loretta Fuller and Patrick
Horan.
At that time the trading centers
were Clare and Gladwin. Mr. Horan
has often remarked about taking
loads of hay and dressed livestock
over the trails to Gladwin, with
sleighs, and returning the same day,
The pleasant home and well kept farm
is the result of many years of success
ful farming.
St. Henry's parish is indebted to
Mr. Horan and the early settlers, for
they gathered for Mass at his home
for many years before a church was
built. He was a fervent attendant at
Mass and Communion despite his ad
vanced years.
Mrs. Horan preceded him in death
April 7, 1930, and Oswal Horan died

MICHIGAN STATE
POLICE CHECKING
UNDESIRABLES
State Police   and   Bankers
Cooperate in Controlling
Bank Robberies
War clouds over Europe, casting a
shadow, of apprehension on the security of America, resulted in significant expansion of the Michigan
State Police during 1940.
Born out of the first World War
when the militia was mustered into
federal service and the "Michigan
State Troops" became the home defense force, it was not unusual that
a similar national emergency two
decades later should so directly touch
Michigan State Police affairs..
Invasion by an aggressor nation
across boundry after boundry in
Europe set a pattern in terror that
swept into' America. New forces of
destruction combined in a blitzkrieg
in which parachute troops, fifth
columnists and Stuka bombers
seemed to spring up as the foes of
all civilization.
Hysteria was born here out of the
realization that should these forces
be turned toward the western hemisphere, defense wotild be tragically
ineffective.
Defense of America was interpreted
in this state as the issue of defense
of Michigan. Alliance of American
forces with the hard-pressed destinies
of England made safety doubly precarious. A national defense program
swung into being. Michigan, as the
machine shop of America, became a
volnurable point for the work of the
saboteur, the spy and the subverter.
Out of the hysteria which the situ-
iaticn abroad and at home created
came a message of both assurance
and urgency from Commissioner
Oscar G. Olander of the Michigan"

SENIORS PRESENT
CLASS PLAY TO FULL
HOUSETUESDAY NITE
At Long Last "The Importance
of Being Earnest" Thrills
Audience
As is often the case in life, the olffi
adage that "the. road of true love fc
never smooth?* proved true in the presentation of the annual play of the
Senior class of the local high schooL
After weeks of rehearsing the depths
of dramatic despair and the heights oC
tender love, by the cast, old mas
Winter ruffled up his back and because of inclement weather the play-
was postponed from December 16th to
January 14th.
Following the usual holiday festivities—two weeks of feasting and foot
ing around—the more pessimistic ot
us feared that the cast had forgotten
their lines and about everything else
and that the play might be a. flop'.
But never fear, our high school youngsters are not like that, as they very
conclusively proved Tuesday evening.
They had very earnestly applied
themselves to the presentation of
"The Importance of Being Earnest,**
and although this was not by far the
easiest vehicle a local high school
class had selected for their annual
play, this quaint English comedj .was
enacted successfully and skillfully "b?
each member of the cast.
The stage setting was completer^
changed for each act and the scenes
were unusually beautiful and realistic
The Clare High School Conceit
Band played several selections between the acts, which within itselK
was a real treat, as Director Keitto
Hunter conducted his band skillfully
through the difficult and melodious!
numbers.
Much credit is due dramatics instructor James Rawley, who directed!
the play, and all those who assisted
him and the .cast.
