Mrs. E. A. Anderson Elected President for Coming
Season
The Clare County Board of Supervisors, in session at the court house
in Harrison, Wednesday morning of
last week, voted with only one
dissenting vote, to appropriate $1,670
for the support of Tri-County Health
"Unit activities in the county the coming year.
Bach of the counties in the unit,
Clare, Gladwin and Arenac, will contribute $1,670; the Couzens Fund
$8,000; and the federal and state
governments ?7,000, for the continuation of the work here this year. The
Supervisor vote in Gladwin county
was unanimous and in Arenac the
same as Clare, with one dissenting
vote.
The Couzens Fund also furnishes the
services of a dentist four months of
each year in each county, .for needy
children, with no charge for material
or services; and each needy child in
the Unit will have his eyes examined
once in two years by au eye specialist,
with no charge for services or glasses.
If a child breaks his glasses at any
time, he is only required to pay 10c
postage to have them repaired.
Protection against contagious diseases is also a vital service of the
Unit, saving the county hundreds of
dollars annually in money otherwise
spent for food for the needy families
and feed for their livestock while in
quarantine, which must be provided
by the county.
It is hoped that this humanitarian
work may be continued indefinitely in
this community.

At Lansing, Michigan, one of the
largest debate tournaments of the year
was held Saturday, October 25. Clare
High School entered two teams, one
affirmative and one negative, and
they came out the top team, being undefeated. They were the only school
to do this, with Lansing Eastern second as a result of only one loss.
The first round began at 9:00 o'clock
and Clare drew Paw Paw and Hillsdale, consequently both teams going
down before Clare's mighty talkers.
In the 11:00 o'clock debate Clare drew
Bad Axe and Comstock and they also
suffered the same fate as the earlier
opponents. This debate tournament
was of great importance because the
other schools get a chance to see
where the competition lies.
Being the winner and top team in
this tourney, The Pioneers are classed
among the better schools for debating,
Those participating in this tournament were John Hall, Mavis Kennedy,
Roberta McKnight, Sidney Court,
Douglas Paxton, Al Hodson and Floyd
Callihan. Accompanied by coach
Emil Pfister, they will try to do their
best by beating some Class A schools
in Flint tomorrow, Saturday, November 1.
Last night, Thursday, October 30,
Midland came to Clare to participate
in a practice debate. Being a Class
A school they offered many suggestions and gave us an example of a fine
debate team. Those participating
were: on the affirmative, Douglas
Paxton, Floyd Callihan, and Roberta
McKnight; on the negative, Sidney
Court, Daniel Burdo and John Hall.
The first league debate on the general schedule is with Ludington, there,
Thursday November 6, at 8:00
o'clock; Clare's negative vs. Ludington affirmative.
. The second league debate will be
held at "Mt. "Pleasant, November 12.
Clare will meet Blanchard's negative
team.

TO RAISE FUNDS
FOR BOY SCOUTS
HEREJOT WEEK
Local Boys Enjoy Privileges
of Camp North of
Glare
The annual drive to raise funds for
the. support of our local Boy Scout
and Cub Scout troops will open here
next Thursday, November 6. Some of
the benefits our boys derive from
scouting are mentioned below, but
only those close to the work can fully
realize the scope and importance of
scouting in our young fellows' lives.
Seven Clare boys were in Camp
Kepayshowink last summer. Kenneth
Sorell was one of the Junior Officers
for two weeks and received one of the
highest Junior Officer ratings of the
season. Six other scouts came to
camp during troop week, did their
own cooking and camped entirely as a
unit under the leadership of the camp
staff. While these boys were at camp,
four of them advanced a rank and during the rest of the year, several of
the scouts in the Clare Scout Troop
No. 125 advanced a rank in scoutcraf t.
John Rodabaugh, who has been
Scoutmaster during the past two
years, has advanced as neighborhood
commissioner for Clare County serving the troops in Harrison, FarweTI
and Clare. Morrel J. Clute is now
Scoutmaster with Emil Pfister assisting him. The Cub Pack is now active
under the leadership of Paul Lowrey.
The money raised in the membership drive is used to further scouting
in Clare and vicinity in several different ways. First: a portion of this
money is used in the support of the
camp which is nine miles north of
Clare and is available to the Clare
scouts the year round for short and
long term camping. Another part of
this money is used for training, office
service, badges and district activities
such as Courts of Honor, camporees,
and rallies. This money also goes to
defray part of the expenses of salary
and car traveling expenses of our full
time field executive, Max Clark, who
lives in Mt. Pleasant and gives per-
sonel service to this territory at least
once a week.
Local people who visited Camp
Kepayshowink during the past summer, saw Boy Scouting in operating at
its "best and will need no persuasion in
contributing to the cause. It is hoped
that all will contribute liberally in this
investment in the lives of our "young
nien of tomorrow."

home at 12:00 o'clock Tuesday noon.
Richard Groves, asssitant manager of
the Hotel Doherty, went to the Adams

that morning, and upon not being able
to arouse him, looked around the place
and saw Mr. Adams on the floor,
through a window.
Dr. F, G. Slattery was called and

in 1912 and 1914 and cooperated with
all regardless of politics or religion.

Superintendent of the Clare Publid
Schools, leaves here to assume his
duties as Superintendent of thd
Rochester Public Schools on Novem*

In his new position Mr. Kennedy
will head .a school system comprising
fifty-two teachers and 1300 students,
and although his friends and associ»
ates here regret his leaving Clare,
they are pleased that Dale is going
into a field of greater possibilities
than his present position offers. With
an A.B. degree from Central State
Teachers College and a M.A. degree
from the University of Michigan and
twenty-two years of successful teaching experience, we are sure he will
continue to succeed in his new field
of endeavor.
Since coming here June 10, 1932, he
has been active in church work, singing in the Methodist choir and faculty
quartet; and has been president of the
Community Council, secretary of til-
Clare Chamber of Commerce for several years and active in National Defense and Boy Scout organization
