MANY IMPROVEMENTS
PLANNED FOR WILSON
STATE PARKIN 1941
t   	
State Legislature Provides $5,000
for Improvement of
Beauty Spot
The Wilson, State Park, on Budd
Lake, at Harrison, is to undergo a
complete change and remodeling dur
ing the next year, with a bill recently
passed in Legislature allowing some
five thousand dollars for improving
and modernizing the tourist park.
Extensive landscaping is an important part of the plan, according to Mr.
Rogers, in charge of the State Park
Maintenance Division of the Department of Conservation, who spent Mon-
day here. Plans are to transform the
north portion of the park into a beautifully landscaped camping grounds,
where evergreens and shrubs will be
arranged so as to provide individual
camping lots, which will add to the
convenience for summer guests and
give them a great deal more privacy.
Special attention is to be devoted to
the park entrance, which will be
landscaped with evergreen trees,
shrubs and wild flowers, as well as
the grounds about the Park Superintendent's home. The driveways and
byroads through the park are now
being rerouted for more attractive and
more convenient traversing of the
thirty acre plot.
In the new improvement project,
the pavilion, which has stood in the
center of the park for many many
years, will be removed and replaced
by a more suitable and more attrac-
tive building, which will coincide in
outer appearance with the bath house
being constructed on the beach. The
bath house construction is progressing
very slowly, but officials believe it
will be completed for use in the 1941
season.
The project for modernizing the
park, which will make it one of the
nicest and most beautiful in Michigan,
is to commence immediately, but is so
extensive as to be impossible to complete it this year, However, by next
summer, it is anticipated that the
complete set of plans will be earned
through.

and merging into the stem of the
blossom. The color of the bloom was

1863, and passed away at his home
in Sheridan tpwnship, Clare county,
April 18th, 1941, at the age of seventy-
eight years and ten days.
Mr. Hutchinson came to Michigan
with his parents at the age of three
months and grew to manhood near
Burnside. His parents were pioneer
settlers in that community, where the
family experienced all the joys and
sorrows of the early pioneers.
About forty-five years ago Robert
came with his parents to Clare county,
and settled in the home where he has
since lived, except for the years he
served his county as sheriff, from
January, 1905, through two terms and
again eight years later when he returned to Harrison and served another
term. As it was the rule for each
county sheriff to preside as chairman
of the county draft board, Mr. Hutchinson served in that capacity
through the World War. Other members of that board passed on many
years before him.
Some years- later, Mr. Hutchinson
was elected County Road Commissioner and was an- active member of that
board for ten years. He has also
served in office in his township, and
as Township Road Commissioner laid
out several roads. As Justice of the
Peace he served on election boards
for a number of years. In his school

MILLIONS SPENT
FOR RELIEF OF
WARJUFFERERS
Local Red  Gross Chapter
Needs Assistance of
Knitters
While the press of our nation. 1ia_
printed untold numbers of coiumne .of
news concerning the losses ami
gains, sacrifices and horror's of war,
little has been said of the magnitude'•
of the relief work carried on by unj
sung heroes in assisting the millions
of innocent sufferers of war4orn
Europe and the Orient.
Since the last War Relief Summary
was issued in February, almost four
million dollars in. additional relief supplies have been shipped for the aid
of war victims over the seas.
Shipments are going to Great Brit»
ain on an average of 25 boats each
month. A shipload of milk, medicines,
clothing and flour bound for Spain and
France has arrived, and been joyfully
received by the hungry civilians in
Spain, and by the children and sick
adults in unoccupied France. Distri«
bution of the supplies on the Cold
Harbor now is successfully under
way in those nation^ by American
Red Cross reresentatives. Another
shipload of milk, vitamins, clothing
and medicines, the SS Exmouth, is enroute to France and two additional '
cargoes are on commercial freighters
destined for Spain. One part shipload
of medical supplies, food and clothing
and another complete shipload are en*
route to Greece. The month has
shown an increase in Red Cross re>
lief to Finland, and many shipment!
have moved from Pacific Coast portt
bound for Shanghai, Hongkong and.
Rangoon for the aid of the Chinese,
Total relief made available by and
through the American Red Cross up
to March 1 was ?22,981,942. Presl»
dent Roosevelt has approved allocations to the American Red Cross
from the $50,000,000 U. S. Govern*
ment appropriation for foreign war
relief of $33,000,000. Expenditures
and committments from this fund for
direct food, medical, clothing and
other relief to all the nations con»
cerned totals $8,318,330, This does
not include expenditures and coin,
mitments for cloth and yarn shipped
to Red Cross Chapters to be made
into garments. Total reliet from
Red Cross Chapters is §14,663,611, of
which $6,246,433 represents the esti«
mated value of Chapter produced
supplies.
Regardless of the huge sums already expended for European and
Oriental relief, there is still a great
need for additional assistance to the
millions of homeless refugees. The
local Red Cross Chapter-is having a
fine response from the people ol.
Clare county. Recently Mjpg, Madge
Lamb, who is in charge of the JocaJ.
work, met with a group of women in
Greeiiwood township, who were willing to assume the making of nome
twenty hospital pajamas. Some peop?*
are needed, however, to knit men'?
socks and children's knee length
stockings. Older ladies who can knit
'are welcomed to join in the work aa$'
if they will notify Mrs. Lamb at 'Far*
well, or phone Farwell No. 6, a supply
of yarn will be provided ond knitting
needles if desired. Let's all who can
knit, put our shoulders to the wheel
of mercy, and do our part,
TIME TO PLAN 4-H
PROJECTS FOR COMING
SUMMER MONTH:
Many Completing Winter Club
Work Planning to
Participate
Many of those completing wintft?
club projects are looking forward ts.
summer 4-H activity. The summed
season offers to boys and girls an op*
portunity for a much wider range of
activities in 4-H club work. Projects
are available for all kinds of farm
livestock, farm crops, forestry, conservation, soil conservation, pheasant
raising and poultry raising.
Girls have additional projects im
food study, home 'making," canning*
and garden projects.'
Boys and girls wishing- to particl*
pate in a summer club activity shouhj
be looking over the possible chOi-Og   .
and making their .selection of project^.
Too often boys and girls come to chiV
organization meetings without a definite idea of what they wish to dc>
Others are not sure 6t parental cooperation.  It is very urgent that,thesfc
two matters be quite definitely settled
before a boy or girl can be successful
in a club project    A prompt beginning is a big step toward a successfuj
