BARNES HOTEL AT
TAWAS DAMAGED
EARLYJTj.RSDAY
Heavy Smoke  and  Water
Loss Caused by Coal
Gas Explosion
The Barnes Hotel at Tawas City
was considerably damaged by what
might be termed in the words of the
Indian, "Little fire—big smoke," early
Thursday morning, when the automatic damper on a water heater in
the basement of the building failed to
work properly and a coal gas explosion ensued. The loss was confined almost entirely to smoke and
water damage.
In a telephone conversation with
Mr. Barnes he assured us that the
guests were cooperating admirably in
their inconvenience and that local citizens were offering every assistance in
restoring the hotel to normal condition**. He also spoke highly of the
efforts and loyalty of the local fire
department in expediently controlling
the situation.
The loss was completely covered by
insurance.
The hotel was purchased by Kenneth Barnes, manager oi the Barnes
Cafe in Clare for the past fourteen
years, in March of tnis year. It was
completely remodeled, modernized and
refurnished by Mr. Barnes and opened
for business in May as one of the best
resort hotels in northeastern Michigan. The explosion occurred just three
months to the day after the Grand
Opening of the establishment, May
14th.
The hotel has enjoyed a splendid
patronage since the opening and the
damage at this time in the height ot
the tourist season will be a considerable inconvenience and set-back to the
proprietor and hotel staff, who are
exerting 'every effort for the convenience and comfort of' the guests
during the clean-up.
Sheriff Amble
Prepared for All
Eventualities
According to reports by Sheriff
Seaver Amble, the Clare County Jail
is a mighty popular place these days,
and has attracted enough guests to
till it to capacity. He is a bit fearful
of what will happen when the news
is spread around that the last bunk
in the jail cell block is taken, but he
reports he can cope with any situation and if there happens to be a
sudden crime wave, that his next
bunch of violators can sleep under
the bunks.
Monday night, Lynn Meeker, of
Coleman, was arrested at Farwell hy
Deputy Elmer Godwin, on a charge of
drunk and disorderly conduct. He is
being held at the local jail until his
case is disposed of in Justice Court.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
DISPLAYS ABILITY
IN THREE CALLS
Ira Richmond Suffers $800
Loss   in  Wednesday
Morning Blaze
The city fire department was kept
busy Wednesday when they answered
three alarms in different parts of the
city in five and one-half hours.
At 9:00 o'clock a. m. they were
called to the Ira Richmond garage
on south McEwan street, where a
blaze had gained considerable head-
Way. The cause of the fire is unknown, but it is thought that a large
stove, filled with paper, exploded
soon after it was set afire.
Mr. Richmond estimates his loss at
between $800.00 and $1,000.00, partially covered by insurance.
At 11:30 o'clock a. m. they were
called to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
William Garchow, Jr., on east 5th
street, where a gas stove had exploded. Aside from the doors of the
stove being twisted, no damage was
done. Luckily Mrs. Garchow had
stepped into another room, just before
fore the explosion occurred.
At 2:30 p. m. they answered a call
to the Art Damoth home on east Gth
street, where a grass fire was threatening buildings. No damage was done.

Building needs for the next twelve
months under the Michigan State
Police defense program are; outlined
in recommendations to the state building department by Commissioner
Oscar G. Olander this week.
"Seven new posts and 100 additional
men are required to plug dangerous
open spots on the state police map,"
Commissioner Olander said in the report covering last week's inspection
trip.
Tthe additional man»power was provided by the legislature. The seven
additional buildings, which would
bring the number, of state police
stations in the state tp;;50, would-be
constructed by federal and 'state
funds under the necessity of defense
urgency.
Of the scores of applications of
communities throughout the state for'
posts, Commissioner Olander gauged
his recommendations to the pattern of
state police needs under the national
defense responsibilities of his organization. All seven proposed posts are
spotted in localities important in the
state's war supply program.
Standard buildings such as are now
located at 42 points in the state, are
asked. Three are the so-called
Type 3 suitable for eight officers. The
additional four are known as 2-A and
would serve from 15 to 20 officers
each.

COUNTY RED CROSS
CHAPTER MEETS AT
CLARECITY HALL
National  Organization Is
Making Appeal for Aid
to Our Own Boys
The Clare County Chapter American
Red Cross held its regular monthly
meeting for August in the Trl-County
Health offices in the Clare city .hall
Monday evening of this week.
Among the important business discussed was the fact that the Red
Cross is calling for help for our own
boys in the hospitals at or near military camps throughout the United
States. Among items needed by the
boys are "comforts" consisting of bed
size utility bags, "housewives" which
are sewing kits, hot water bottle
covers, ice cap covers, and several
other items which are to be made by
the local chapter.
Under the slogan "Give One Hour a
Week to the Red Cross" a county-
wide campaign is being commenced
to create more interest in the work
and reach all ladies willing to contribute their efforts to the worthy
causf.
Materials for the present quota are
now in the hands of County Chairman Mrs. Madge Lamb, of Farwell,
andanyone willing to work on these
things is urged to see Mrs. Doris Ann
Bicknell or Mrs. Mabel Mulder, of
Clare; Mrs. Frank Bush, of Harrison,
or Mrs. Lamb.
The expansion in the nation's armed
forces makes it necessary for the
American Red Cross to expand its
Hospital Production Program for
the Army and NaVy. In the midwes-
terly area alone there has been an increase of over 400,000 men. AH chapters should participate in this program
if we are to provide comfort items for
the large number of men in service
who will be hospitalized at some
period during tthe fiscal year.
The Government provides essential
articles, but by agreement with the
Army and Navy the American Red
Cross supplies specific articles which
add to the comfort and pleasure of
these men.
Due to the unprecedented requests
for comfort items received from the
Army and Navy, this service will not
be extended to ex-service men during
this fiscal year. This matter has been
discussed with the Veterans' Administration and they concur in this plan
to discontinue temporarily this particular phase of our program in behalf
of these men.
Following you will find the irevised
list of articles to be supplied. Afghan,
bathrobes, beanie, bedjacket (man's),
bedside bag, card table covers,
cushions, cushion covers, *ditty or
property bag, housewives, lap covers,
pajamas, socks, hot water bag covers,
ice bag covers, knee band, pneumonia
jacket, socks (toe), socks (stump).
Material for making these articles
must be furnished locally and the
Clare county chapter is now .planning
the financing, as well as a .county-wide
effort to interest more people in
assisting an the making of the articles.

PRIMARY MONEY
TO BE DISTRIBUTED
DURING AUGUST
First   Payment   to   Schools   at
Rate of $9 Per Capita With
$3 Payment Later
Auditor-General Vernon J. Brown
disclosed Thursday that the improved
condition of the state treasury this
summer will permit of the full $12,-
469,905 payment of primary fund
school aid collected to the start of
the current fiscal year.
He said vouchers are being prepared
to distribute the money before August
31st. School districts will receive an
amount equal to $9 for each .census
child.
"After several years when it has
been necessary to parcel out the
primary school interest fund to conserve state treasury cash," said
Brown, "the payment this year will
represent the full amount collected to
June 30, 1941. Another payment will
be made after November 1, when the
second instalment of railroad and
utility taxes is due. It probably will
amount to not less than ?3 per school
child."
The apportionment of* primary
money is based on last year's census
figures.      '

TOUGH!!
A group of older Boy Scouts, from
Bellevue, Kentucky, were in this community last week and while here visited Spike Horn's Bear Ranch. Some
of the boys asked Spike if he had a
bear that would "bite or scratch them
a little, so that they might have the
scars to show the folks back home."
If this business keeps up, Spike will
have to get himself a "bad bear."
1942 PLATES GREEN AND WHITE
Sufficient steel to make 1942 Automobile license plates has been promised the Michigan prison industries
by OPM and production of the plates
has begun, William H. Burke, industries manager announced recently.
The 1942 plates will be green and
white and slightly smaller than this
year's. The same uniform style of
numbering will be used.
THE GOVERNOR'S DISHPAN
Gov. and Mrs. Murray D. Van-
Wagoner contributed "the first article
of household equipment purchased by
Mrs. Van Wagoner after her marriage,"
which was an aluminum dishpan, to
the state-wide collection -of scrap
aluminum for national defense, and
Mayor Sam Street Hughes diligently
guarded it while on display at the
Lansing City Hall, but when it was
placed on the top of the six ton pile
of aluminum contributed in Lansing,
as an incentive to further contributions, it soon disappeared. This new
type of souvenir collecting has upset
the plans to display "the Governor's
dishpan" at this year's State Fair in
Detroit.
SIMON BOGARDUS
PASSES TO GREAT
BEYOND FRIDAY
Came to Clare When Lumbering Was Principal
Industry Here
Life! we have been long together,
Through pleasant and through cloudy
weather;
Tis  hard  to  part when  friends  are
dear;
Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear—
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time;
Say   not   good-night,    but   in    some
brighter clime.
Bid me good-morning!
And thus on Friday last, Sime
Bogardus, born in St. Catherines, Ontario, August 13, 1870, the son of
Cornelius and Martha Bogardus, bid
farewell to earthly cares and on Monday, August 11th, was interred in
Cherry Grove Cemetery, but two clays
prior to his seventy-first birthday.
In 1S72 his mother brought her
eighteen months old son to Clare—
then but a burg where river men trod
the board side walks and sandy
streets in calked boots, when the
pines and the hard woods graced the
skylines, when the saw mills hummed
and the trails but led to more woods.
Years passed along an din 1893 he
was united in marriage to Miss Eva
Harris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
Harris, a sister of C. C. Harris of this
city, and two children, John, deceased,
and Hilda L., were born into this
happy home.
' In 1898. Sime, as all knew him,
entered * the meat market business,
later opening a grocery store in an
old wooden building where he later
erected the fine place now occupied by
the Consumer's Power Company. At
one time he was a member of the
clothing and shoe firm known as
Thompson, Elden and Bogardus, but
in 1930 he retired from business activities. By the small children of the
streets he was known as the candy
man, by the grown-ups, as the fine
old man, by baseball fans, as next to
Connie Mack as a lover of the sport.
After one year's illness he leaves
to mourn his departure, a widow Mrs.
Eva Bogardus; a daughter, Mrs. N. L.
Tibbils; an eighty-three year old half
sister and a seventy-six year old half
brother in St. Catherines, Canada;
several cousins nieces and nephews
and many friends.
The funeral was held from the residence, Monday afternoon with Dr.
John H. Hall of the Methodist Church
speaking a few consoling words.
. Those -from out of town attending
the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Billings, of Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Oliver and Mr. and Mrs, Harold Della-
baugh, of Lansing; Mr. and Mrs. D.
Rorison, of Evart; Mrs. R. A. Turner,
of Washington, D. C; Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Harris, Mr. and Mrs. John
Harris, Mr. Floyd Harris and Mrs.
Lourain Trav#er, of Columbiaville; Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Thompson, of St.
Louis; Mr. and Mrs. Ross Thompson,
of Lansing; Mr. and Mrs. Carl White,
of Pontiac; and Mr. and Mrs. W. F.
Broderick, of Lansiug.
Believe Peace
Is Restored
On Oil Fields
With the choice of a majority of
Pure Oil Company Michigan production employes rejecting a proposal to
unionize under the A. F. of L. banner,
there appeared every likelihood that
the serious decline in the state's oil
production caused by the temporary
shutdown last week, was at an end.
Today production was believed to
have climbed back to somewhat near
normal.
At the same time the Pure Oil
Company production employes decided against union representation the
