VIOLATIONS ARE
EXPENSIVE FOR
DEERJUNTERS
Seven Pay Fines in  Local
Justice Court Over
Week End
A number ot visiting deer hunters
apparently failed to heed the plea in
last week's Sentinel to abide by the
game laws of the State, and their own.
better judgment, and like the proverbial woman, "they paid."
James B. Fish, !*6, of Big Rapids,
was apprehended by Clare County
Conservation, Officer Wayne B. Tennant Thursday of last week and
brought before Justice Kyle McKinnon Friday morning to face the
Charges of unlawfully carrying a rifle
in an area frequented by deer during
the closed season thereon, in Redding
township, Clare county. He plead
guilty and was fined $5.00, department
costs of ?3.50 and court costs of ?3.35.
He paid and was released.
Walter Korlock, 54, William F.
Kisele, 50, and Emmet O. Gordon, 48,
all of Pontiac, were apprehended by
Conservation Officers Saturday morning aud brought before Justice McKinnon that morning, on a complaint
signed by Officer Tennant, to face
charges of making use of an artificial
light in hunting, pursuing or killing
deer, or in attempting to hunt, pursue,
capture or kill deer, in Freeman township, Clare county. They all plead
guilty and each was fined ?50.00,
department costs of ?3.50 and court
costs fo $3.35. They paid and were
released.
Clayton Johnson, 30, of Lansing,
was apprehended Saturday by Conservation Officer Lytord Cross, who is
assisting in this area during the hunting season, and brought before Justice
McKinnon that morning on the charge
of having in his posession upon an
automobile a loaded firearm in the
township of Frost, Clare county. He
plead guilty and was fined §10.00,
department costs of ?3.50 and court
costs of |3.35. He paid and was
released.
B. P. Ensley, 50, of Lansing*, was
apprehended Saturday by Officer Tennant and brought before Justice McKinnon that morning on the charge of
having in his possession upon an
automobile a pump shotgun with slug
load in the township of Franklin,
Clare county. He plead guilty and was
lined ?10,00, department costs of $3.50
and court costs of $3.35. He paid aud
was released.
Ivan R. Oden, 31, of Detroit, was
apprehended Sunday by Officer Tennant and brought before Justice McKinnon Monday on the charge of
having in his possession in an automobile a loaded rifle, in the township
of Hayes, Clare county. He plead
guilty and was fined ?10.00, $3.50 department costs and $3.35 court costs.
He paid and was released.
It is hoped that these convictions,
although some of them were perhaps
brought about by thoughtlessness
rather than malicious intent, will convince hunters that it pays in the long
ruu to abide by the game laws and
regulations.
Arthur Johnson
Presents School
of Instruction
Last Monday night t>e Oddfellows
of Clare Lodge No. 33d, I.O.O.F., had
the pleasure of having in their midst
Mr, Arthur D. Johnson, a long time
resident of Clare, who entertained the
lodge with a very interesting and instructive talk. Mr- Johnson also gave
a school of instruction which was very
beneficial to the members,present.
Mr. Johnson, better known to his
friends as "Arthur," is now on his way
to Florida, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs, Harry Foss.
Arthur has spent the last several
winters in Florida, as he cannot stand
the rigorous climate and the northern
winters.
His many friends wish him -good
health, and will be looking forward
to his return to Clare next spring.
RED CROSS ROLL
CALL WELL UNDER
WAVJl COUNTY
"All Out"  Cooperation is
Needed to Meet Organizations Requirements
With the 1941 Red Cross roll call
well underway here, reports of present progress are very satisfactory,
but "all out" cooperation will be needed, to reach this year's doubled quota;
and this goal must be reached if the
home service requirements of our boys
in uniform, the civilian defense program, and the usual vital functions of
the Red Cross are to be fulfilled.
Today, the Red Cross task is twofold—service to aid the morale of the
armed forces and services to safeguard the life and health of tlie
civilian copulation.
The Red Cross must go with the
Army into the field and to distant outposts and accompany the Navy to
outlying naval stations. It must be
with the men in hospitals, w'herever
general hospitals are located. Through
its Field Director staffs in military
stations, and its recreation staffs in

To eniphasize American Education
Week, the Clare High School invited
the interested citizen*, of the community to an "Open House" night-school.
The 200 parents and friends of education who visited the school, attended classes which their children attended and discussed with the instructors
of each class tlie procedures and desired outcomes.
The main part of the night session
was a panel discussion on the question, "What opportunities does the
Community of Clare Offer Education
for the Total Defense of America."
Those taking part in the panel were
chairman, Morrel Clute; Dr. Rev. Hall,
church; Dr. Hammerberg, medicine;
-jinil Pfister, school; Mrs. B. Proctor,
health teacher; Roberta McKnight,
student; Miss Grace Rinehart rural
teacher; Albert Samborn, student; L.
C. Garthe, head of defense training
classes; Don Holbrook, law.
Although there were no definite results, there were many possibilities
suggested whereby the community of
Clare can do a better job of preparing j
its  citizens  for  the total defense of!
America. <
The need for better citizenship on I
the part of both students and adults!
was emphasized, because of .the
apparent lack of responsibility on the
part of both. Church training as the
core of American defense was a common agreement.
A proposal was made to institute
adult classes iii: Agriculture (to help
Clare to meet the new national quota
in farm produce); Civilian defense,
such as firstaid, bomb protection, etc.;
Household training for women in
electrical repair, etc.; and increase in
the use of defense classes already in
operation at the old trailer factory,
where farm machinery repair is one
of the major divisions.
Many people expressed the desire
to follow-up the panel discussion with
an open forum series. !Juch an open
forum could easily be arranged. People
who desire such a series should call
the school,
family back.home.
Funds for the National Organization wiil support this work in the
field and funds for the Chapter will
support the important work behind
the lines with the military man's
family at home. With two million
men under arms, and an even greater
military force in prospects, many
family problems will arise, requiring
direct cash assistance not only to the
service man, to aid in solving his
problems, but to meet the traditional
service of the Red Cvoss to the needy
families of service men through
Chapters.
To safeguard the civilian population
the National Organization and its
Chapters must organize evacuation
schemes, First Aid Detachments, ambulance and hospital services, train
100,000 Nurses Aides, expand Canteens and Motor Corps—cooperating
in these and other services with the
Office of Civilian Defense.

Stoves, furnaces and automobile
exhausts will release an invisible killer in homes and garages unless precautions are taken, says the Michigan
Department of Health.
"Every year we have accidental
deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning," said Dr. H. Allen Moyer, State
Health Commissioner. "Half of one
per cent of carbon monoxide in the air
can be fatal in ten minutes. The gas
is colorless, odorless, and tasteless,
and is always produced by the incomplete burning of any fuel—from
coal or wood to gasoline and kerosene."
Carbon monoxide is lighter than air,
and will rise into a house from a
faulty furnace or a hard coal burner or
into an automobile body from a leaky
muffler. Safeguards against carbon
monoxide in the home call for iuspec-
■ tions to see that chimneys are un-
clogged, that furnaces and stove doors
fit tightly, that there are no cracks in
the fire domes of furnaces and stoves
and that dampers are not permitted
to close drafts completely. As lor the
automobile, the precautions are easier,
Dr, Moyer said. Simply open garage
doors and keep them open while the
motor is running.
Headache and nauseai are symptoms
of carbon monoxide poisoning". Fi'esh
air will bring relief.; If the victim is
unconscious, artificial respiration
should be started at once and a 'physician called.   "'    :,'        '..'■.   ii*,-'i

NEW OIL FIELD
DISCOVERED IN
clam COUNTY
Crown Oil Brings in Wildcat Well on Section 36,
Lincoln Township
Crown Oil Company, drilling with
their own tools, on what is known as
the W. A. Oxendale farm, Section 36,
Lincoln township, topped the pay at
3,933 feet Thursday night of last week
and the well flowed about 100 barrels
the first five hours.
Although estimates of the potential
ranged from 600 to 1,000 barrels, an
accurate estimate is not available at
present.
The well is now flowing by occasional heads and when the live inch casing
is set it is expected the well Will be
drilled deeper into the pay. The discovery of this well, a wildcat, has
opened new territory and with available leases being bought almost over
night, it'is expected that considerable
exploration drilling will* be done in the
vicinity.
Scott Hemstreet, who lives over
that way, promised the drillers a
venison siipper if they got a well and
Scott is doing some "plain and fancy"
hunting in an effort to make good his
promise.
BETTER PHYSICAL
EXAMINATION PLAN
INAUGURATED HERE
Si
Selectees    Receive   Army
Examination Before
Induction
Starting 4his month, a change in
system of selective service physical
examination has been, inaugurated.
AH men are examined as heretofore
by the local examining physician and
those passing that examination are
sent for a pre-iuduetion physical examination from this area to Saginaw
and examined there by Army physicians and returned home to await
the result of the examination and if
it certifies them tor general military
service they will be inducted in from
ten to thirty days; those in this area
going directly to Fort Custer, near
Battle Creek.
This eliminates a great deal of inconvenience for those who are not
physically fit for service under U, S\
Army standards.
Those who left here Sunday for pre-
induction physical examination, going
by chartered bus to Saginaw and returning- home Monday evening, were:
John.W. Schroeder, R-2, Clare.
Victor S. Mallette, R-2, Gladwin.
Glenn Updyke, Temple,
Ronald E. Langworthy, R-2, Clare.
David W. Liddell R-l, Farwell.
David V. Eichorn, R-l, Farwell.
Emerson F. Schieber, R-l, Clare.

Delbert R. Hubbard, now of Evart.
In addition, William W. McKenna,
of R-2, Harrison, was transferred from
the Clare Couny Board to Roseville,
Michigan, for pre-iaducrion physical
examination, and one Isabella county
young man was transferred to Clare
county, accompanying the Clare county group to Saginaw.

CHAIRMAN JACKSON
APPEALS TO FARMERS
TO SELL SCRAP METAL
Present Shortage Seriously
Threatens National
Defense Program
Recognizing that farms are one of
the most important sources of scrap
iron, L. W. Jackson, chairman of the
Clare County Defense Board, Wednesday morning addressed >a special
appeal to farmers to sell their scrap
iron now to heij) alleviate the shortage
that is seriously threatening the
national program.
"Both patriotism and self-interest
will be served if farmers will at once
make available all the iron and steel
scrap they can from their farms,"
Jackson said. Price is, of course, of
interest to. farmers. The O.P.M. has
asserted that the present price ceilings for iron and steel scrap will not
be raised.
We do not wapt farmers to scrap
useful machinery. Farmers usually
keep old implements about, in order
to Strip from them an occasional bolt,
gear or other part needed for repairing newer machinery. This is especially iniportant now. Our suggestion
is that they take such parts from old
'machines, store them, and* scrap only
the l-emaining useless metal parts.
"It is .important ..to the nation's defense that every .farmer in this community contact" immediately a scrap
dealer to arrange to sell any scrap
metal he has on his property."
Tommy VanHo6se was honored
guest when sixteen little members of
the Church of God Sunday School
helped him celebrate his fourth birthday at -Sunday School last. Sunday

Purchases Made
With Blue Stamps
Sales Tax Exempt
Michigaii retail merchants in all
counties Where the federal Orange
and Blue Food Stamp Plan is now in
effect are advised by the State Board
of Tax Administration that "blue
stamp purchases" of designated surplus commodities are exempt from
state sales tax. This is because such
sales are sales to the federal government and therefore tax exempt since
blue stamps are redeemed by the
federal government. Merchants to
obtain this exemption are required to
show these "blue stamp-sales" in their
nionthly gross sales reports to the
sales.tax department. "Orange stamp
Stiles" are held taxable hy the State
Sales Tax Adihinistr ation hecause
they represent Sale of regular stock
on the merchants' shelves, not "surplus commodities,"
In filing monthly sales tax returns,
the sales represented hy, both orange
and blue stamp purchases must be included in the retailers" gross  sales.

NIMRODS BRING
HOME DEER AND
BEAR FROM HUNT
Lake George Archer Gets
His Buck With Bow
and Arrow
With apparently more deer hunters
than ever before passing through here,
the past week end "burning the highways" to their favorite hunting haunts,
a number of serious traffic accidents
occurred throughout the state, to be
followed with the beginning of the
season with fatal hunting accidents.
But this toll of human life and limb
failed to dampen the ardor of the hunters and by mid-morning Saturday,
hundreds, of deer were being* returned
by hunters who could not renmin in
the woods with their quarry and camp
pals because of the warm weather that
threatened to spoil any game kept
long in camps.
Among those not content to hunt
native game is Dr, G, C. Born, who
with his brother, D. J. Born, of Kalamazoo, are hunting caribou near
Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. They
made the last twenty-five mile jaunt
to their hunting grounds by dog team.
In the words of the poet:
The game hunters came north,
With spirits high.
With rifle and shot gun,
From far and nigh.
Some shot tlieir big bucks ' j
And others "bar"; '/
Some shot small spikehorns t
And "Sere they are.
George Knowles, Lake George archer, brought in his buck last Thursday,
towards the end of the bow and arrow
season. ' It took three of George's
favorite arrows to stop him.
Carl Bradley, of Elm Grove, shot a
nice big eight point buck with a
beautiful rack of horns at 8:30 Saturday morning.
Murl Houghton, who can shoot as
Well as mix pills, bagged a nice eight
pointer at 9:00 o'clock Saturday morning, and his father, L. F. Houghton, of
Houghton Lake, shot a four pointer
at 4:00 o'clock that afternoon.
Mrs. Claude Reker, of Hatton township, set a good record for the "weaker sex" by going out at abput 7:00
o'clock the opening morning of the
season and shooting a big ten point
buck.   Let's see you beat it boys.
Pat, the young son of Fred Campbell, Isabella County Superintendent
of State Highway Maintenance, shot a
bear near Harrison Monday that
weighed 143 pounds dressed. The
bruin was displayed at Jackson's
Meat Market Tuesday.
Frank Hachmuth filled his license
with an eight point buck.

FOOD STAMPS BOUGHT
FROM MICHIGAN STATE
WELFARE COMMISSION
Food  Stamp  Plan   Cannot   Be
Considered Substitute for
Direct Relief
Food order stamps will be purchased from the Michigan State
Social Welfare" Commission, through
stamp issuing offices which will be
established where necessary to provide adequate mailing accomodations
for participants. Mr. Cusick, Program.
Organizer for the Surplus Marketing
Administration, made this statement
today to clarify, he said, a misunderstanding that seeihs to exist in the
minds of many persons regarding the
mechanics of the plan.
"The Michigan State Social Welfare
Comiriission/' Mr. Cusick said, "has
set up a cash revolving fund which is
used to buy food stamps from the administration. Persons certified as
eligible will buy food order stamps by
mail from the State Stamp Issuing
Office to be located at Lansing,. Michigan. The purchase price is the price
of the orange stamps involved the
transaction. Blue stamps, equal in
value to the orange stamps, are given
free of charge. The State Social Welfare Commission, in turn, sells these,
stamps to participants or exchanges
them for food'vouchers which havel^
cash value. The money thus obtained
goes into the revolving fund to be
used again by the state io bur*
additional Food Order Stamps.
Mi". Cusick called attenfon to the'
fact that the advent of the Fool
Stamp Plan cannot be considered' a.
substitute for direct relief and that;
under the agreement there must he flQ>
reduction Jn: the relief grant for food. ■
Tho reason for such action, he said,
was to* make sure the plan would
move additional agricultural conimod,
