POSTAL RECEIPTS
SURPASS THOSE OF
DECEMBER 1940
Nearly $11,000   Worth   of
Defense Bonds and
Stamps Sold
In last week's Sentinel we emphasized the heavy mails bandied by the
local post-office employees, but overlooked the all important item of cash
involved.
Regular post-office receipts for the
month of December, .1941, surpassed
those of the same mouth in 1940 by a
considerable amount, besides the
money taken in for National Defense
Bonds and Stamps. We cannot publish
comparative figures for the defense
bonds and stamps as they were not in
circulation a year ago.
The figures follow:,
Month of December, 1940—
Postage sales—$3,063.73.
Mopey orders issued—2,211.
Money order sales—$16,030.33.
Money order fees—?205.35.
Month of December, 1941—
Postage sales—$3,287,89.
Money orders issued—2,438.
Money order sales—$22,104.90.
Money order fees—$238.46.
Defense Bond sales—$10,400.00.
Defense Stamp sales—$574.60.
$36,605.85 is a pretty good month's
business for any institution in a city
the size of Clare and the local post-
office clerks are just finishing their
monthly reports to the post-office department. The fiscal year for the post
office ends June 30th.
The Michigan Bell Telephone Company today looked back upon a year of
unparalleled demand for its service on,
the one hand, and a tightening oi lines
of vital supplies on the other, both
spurred by the defense and war program.
Telephones in service shot to a new
peak of more than 925,000, an increase
of about 110,000 during the year.
Material shortages that were a threat
earlier in the year became a reality
before its close and the company was
required to revise its expansion program drastically to meet the situation.
Bell System research in the development of substitutes for essential
telephone materials, which started in
1925, was invaluable in helping meet
the shortage problem and released
some 5,000,000 pounds of various
metals for war armament. The
System's smelter salvaged large quantities of metals from worn-out equipment. No substitute, however, has
been developed for copper, which was
placed under strict priority. That required the company to restrict construction late in the year to projects
absolutely necessary to provide adequate service and to rule out all work
representing mere improvements. Continued use of old equipment where
possible, deferment of several dial
system installations, and various other
measures also were made necessary.
To keep pace with the unprecedent-

Tire Stealing
Serious Offense
During Jfijar Time
With the drastic rationing now in
effect on. automobile tires, police are
cautioning car owners to take all necessary steps against tire'thefts. _ No
thefts have been reported' to" "local
police thus far, but it is thought there
may be an outbreak in this vicinity
resulting from the strict rationing of
tires. .
Owners are urged to make a record j
ot the make, size and 'jserial number of
all their tires. If. tlrfs are stolen and
serial numbers buffed off, there are
methods of restoring thes"e numbers
and identifying the Ires*
The following Item published in
state papers with a| Richmond, Virginia, date line indicates the seriousness of tire thefts during the present
war times. J.
A man charged Ivith stealing a
single used tire was given the maximum penalty for petty larceny of 12
months and $100 fine here today. "We
are at war, said Police Court Justice
Carlton E. Jewett in imposing sentence, "and I dont propose to permit
people to go around stealing other
people's tires.   Tires "are gold today."
Any  person apprehended  by local
police on the charge of tire stealing
will be shown no leniency and prosecuted to the extent c-f the law.

Davis' letter follows:
To the Spiritual Leaders of America:
In the midst of the tragedy of war
Treasurer, Mrs. Harold A.jiing.
Winterfleld township came through
'with    colors    flying,"    contributing
which now engulfs the earth, stands 1 ?300 00 to the war relief £und £rom
the American Red Cross. Its past record of mercy in the relief of human
suffering is recognized everywhere.
Now the advent of total war brings a
vast new emergency, and places heavy
responsibilities on the Red Cross.
In this crisis we look with continued
confidence to the spiritual leaders of
the American people. With the cooperation of the clergy, the deeper
meanings of sacrificial service, the
central message of the Red Cross, will
be made clear. As the American
people thus understand the quality of
brotherhood, which binds the whole
human family together, under God,
they will give the spiritual and
material backing required to sustain
and extend human, services.
We are now engaged in an emergency campaign to secure a minimum of
$50,000,000. To the extent that the
people appreciate the nature of the
need and the magnitude of the task,
this support will be forthcoming.
At the request of our chapters, Sunday, January 11, has been designated
as "Red Cross Sunday" in the hope
that every pulpit in America will be
an interpreter of those eternal
verities, compassion, pity and aid,
essentially exemplified by the Red
Cross. Your cooperation in such ways
as you consider most effective will be
greatly appreciated.
Faithfully yours,
, Signed—Norman H. Davis
Chairman.

The War Fund Campaign thermometer on the Citizens State Bank
building indicates over $1,200.00
raised, not including funds raised in
the city of Harrison, which will add
substantially to the total when turned
in.
Campaign officials would like to
have the campaign completed and all
funds turned in by January 15, that
the money may be forwarded to area
headquarters to swell the urgently
needed funds of the National Red
Cross for the relief and assistance of
our boys in service and their dependants where necessary.
Permanent Red Cross headquarters
will be located in the Clare city hall
as soon as arrangements can be completed.
An adult evening school for farmers
and others interested in agriculture,
will be held in the Clare High School
this winter. Several farmers have indicated their interest in such a school
and there probably are others.
The subject for discussion this year
will be Dairy, as most farmers were
interested in this field.
The class will be carried on, aB a
discussion led by the local Ag. teacher with the aid of as many outside
men of experience in the dairy field as
possible. As a result of these discussions it is hoped that some conclusion can be reached and practices
carried out which will be for the
betterment of the dairy industry in
our local area.
Also, each of us as farmers has a
very important part to play in winning
this war in which we are involved.
If a few improved dairy practices can
be adopted which will help, even
slightly, increase the dairy production
per cow, we will not only be increasing our individual income but producing a much needed product to help
in bringing this war to a speedy and
successful end.
The first meeting will be held Monday, January 12, at 8:00 o'clock in the
agricultural room at Clare High
School. *

Requiem Mass Sang  for John
Kever at St. Henry's
This Morning
John Kever, a former resident of
Clare, passed away at his farm home
five miles south of the city Tuesday
evening, following several months of
111 health. Mr. Kever fell from a
manure spreader last spring and his
heart was in some way misplaced by
the accident. He has been confined to
his home since that time and although
all of the loving personal and professional attention possible was given
him, he finally succumbed to the injury. He had resided in this community about ten years.
John Alvin Kever was born the son
of Kirby and Matilda Kever September 13, 1884, in Gratiot county, Michigan, and passed away January 6,
1842, in Vernon township, Isabella
county, at the age of fifty-seven years,
three months and twenty-three days.
He leaves to mourn their loss, the
wife Catherine; one daughter, Ruth,
at. home; his mother, Mrs. Matilda
Kever, of Perry; two sisters, Myrtle
Orvis, of Clare, and Mae Bullard, of
Delwin; two brothers, Earl Kever, of
Perry, and Art Kever, of Clare; other
relatives and a host of friends.
Funeral services will be held from
St. Henry's church this Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock, with Requiem
Mass sang by Rev. Fr. Gordon Grant,
and interment in the church cemetery.

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST
CHURCH REPORTS SPLENDID
ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 1941
The Seventh Day Adventist church
of Clare was very successful during.
1941 in following the Lord's command
to carry the gospel to all people. The
amount raised for foreign missions
was $366.67 of which $200.13 was given
by the members and $166.54 was given
by friends of the church through the
Ingathering plan.
The Dorcas Society, an organization
to help the poor and sick, was organized last winter. During the year it
gave away ninety-four articles of
clothing, ten baskets of food and ten
bouquets. At the meetings, thirty-five
articles of clothing and three comforters were made.

OF EDUCATION CHOOSES NEW
CHAIRMAN AT SUNDAY MEET
The Methodist Board of Education
held a special meeting at the church
Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. Dr.
Hall acted as chairman and called the
meeting to order.
Mrs. Lester LePavonr was elected a
member of the board, also the chairman, to fill the vacancy caused by
Supt. E. D, Kennedy moving away. It
was decided to have Wayne Fleenor,
a state Methodist worker, come to
Clare, probable date, February 8. A
discussion took place concerning the
possibility of having Mr. Laupmanis,
a missionary, come to Clare to hold a
series of meetings.
Mrs. Morrel Clute was named sponsor for the Epworth Leaguers, due to
the resignation of Mrs. William Gar-
chow, Jr., to be assisted by Mrs.
Donald Holbrook; and Mrs. Hall was
given authority to organize a Junior
League. Several other problems of
the Sunday School were presented and
discussed.
Mrs. William Kappllnger, or Far-
well received the following letter January 2, from her son, Corp. Jarvis Max
Kapplinger, written in Shanghaii,
China, November 9th:
Dear Mother,
I think the mail leaves here again
in a few days so I will drop you a line.
The mail boats don's run as regular
now as they did.
There is not much doing out here,
everything is about the same.
I have been playing football. We
only played four games and lost one of
them, The season is over here now.
The Marine Corp birthday is tomorrow
and they are going to have a field day
out here—wheelbarrow races, rickshaw races, y.a ho, pool races, greased
pig chase, and a lot of other things.
It may be a long time before you
hear from me again. The boats don't
come out here very often anymore but
don't worry about me, I am having a
good time and am getting along good.
If everything goes OK I may be
home this spring. I can't think of
much to say because we are always
doing the same things over and over
again, Just follow a routine.
Your son,
Max.
Accompanying the letter were newspaper clippings of the Fourth Marines'

League's final game of the season.

Dear Mother and'Dad,
I just received your letter today>
and at the time you wrote it you didn't
know about the war; in fact, we didn't
either, for there wasn't any. I wrote
you a letter as soon as possible after
it was all over, but I don't know just
how long it took to reach you. Perhaps
it was held up by the censors for a
while, and then too, the Clipper'
schedule was disrupted for a while. 1
certainly hope that you weren't kept
in suspense too long, for I know-how1
you would worry.
You must not worry about my being over here, for I am as safe as t
would be anywhere now. I still thinK
that I did the wise thihg in coming
here. It was my decision, and now
more than ever, I am convinced that
it was based upon sound judgement*
I want to assure you that although vf&
all had a few anxious moments, I wa#
in no immediate danger at any time?,
It is as safe here as I told you it wouM
be while discussing the situation fee'
fore I decided to. come. My working
conditions are even more pleasant
and interesting, than they were before-
the war.
By the time you get this, my Christ*

arrived, if it hasn't been delayed ot
