Automobile  Rationing   Plan   Expected
An automobile rationing plan comparable to the tire rationing plan and
using the same machinery is expected
to be used in the county in the near
future.
Frank Bane of the office of price administration in a communication to
William A. Henderson, County Clerk,
asked the local board to ascertain:
1. How many new vehicles will your
local government need during the next
year for essential public services as
identified in the eligibility classification of the rationing order?
2, How many vehicles will your
local government need for other essential services of government, not
covered in the rationing order?
The local board, which is composed
of Joseph Sproat, Robert C. Kleiner
and William A. Henderson, requests
that persons or firms desirous of purchasing new passenger cars or trucks
and who might come under the eligibility classifications laid down by the
tire rationing order, register with the
board as soon as possible.

with these farmers in the production
of an increasing amount of farm
goods.
He spoke of the work of the tire
rationing committee of which he is
a member and mentioned the persons
eligible for tires under the present
regulations. At the conclusion of his
remarks an open forum was held in,
which members asked questions which
were answered by Mr. Kleiner and
discussed by the members.
Mr. Kleiner has been connected with
the AAA work since 1933 and has
devoted full time for the past five
years. The program was in charge of
O. D. Bayes and Austin Bates.
It has been officially announced that
the Kiwanis Club will start the year
off with the purchase of a Defense
Bond.
LARGE BARN OF
ALBERT MIDDLETON
DESTROYER BY FIRE
Wise Township Farmer
Suffers Heavy Loss in
Monday's Blaze
One of the most disastrous farm
fires to visit this vicinity for many
years occurred Monday afternoon
when the large barn on the Albert
Middleton farm, four miles east and
one-half south of Clare, burned to the
ground.
The loss suffered by Mr. Middleton
is heavy and will reach several thousand dollars as over thirty head of
stock, a large quantity of feed and
machinery were destroyed.
Mr. Middleton ha'ft'takea fereat pride
in his barn. He had the building
insulated and it was built and
equipped very modernly.
The exact cause of the blaze is not
known as we go to press.
The local rural fire truck was called,
but could do little, owing to the rapid
spreading of the blaze throughout the
building and the absence of a supply
of water.
History repeats itself!
The Boy Scouts of America is living
again in the stirring days of 1917 and
1918. The present conflict recalls the
service rendered the nation when
Scouting was only seven years old.
Now, on its thirty-second anniversary, the Bpy Scouts of America again
serves America at war. These services range from poster distribution
to blackout first aid.
Eax-ly in 1941, before the United
States became involved in .actual war
the Boy Scouts of America was asked
to take the responsibility for the distribution of posters advertising the
sale of United States Defense Bonds
and Stamps. Boy Scouts put up
1,700,000.
Almost immediately the Office of
Civilian Defense requested the aid of
the Boy Scouts of America in helping
to collect scrap aluminum for airplane
construction. Boy Scouts all over the
United States collected 10 million
pounds of aluminum—eighty per cent
of all collected.
Then came the appeal to collect
waste-paper. Thousands of tons of
waste paper have been gathered already by them and their quest for it
continues.
As in the last World War the Boy
Scouts are doing those things of which
they are capable to help the" home
front in its fight for the democratic
way of life. Scouting prepares boys
for many "good turns" and America
has learned through war and peace a
Boy Scout is dependable.

ff
This   business   of   civilian   defense
may seem quite distant to many of us
. especially to the farmer living in the
open spaces a long way from the sea
coast   or   other   objects   of   military
significance   to   an  invading   enemy.
.There is a very significant part that
every farmer has in the war scene
today.   It is the experience of every
person who has ever been engaged in
:war   that  military   forces   must  eat
with more or less regularity to win
major  battles.    Without farms  produced food there is little to«eat.   So
. Mr. Farmer don't sell yourself short;"
your efforts to produce more food to
: nourish   the   bodies   of   our   fighting
1 forces  of  this  country   are  just  as
worthy, just as productive of factors
contributing to utlimate victory as are
i.the efforts-of any group between you
...and Singapore or Berlin, .    .

./tvibtytp ta.aineacefui life. .The ability
*.«,<$ ian pjnbattied .nation to care for its
food requirements in a,-crowded'.area
like Europe is lost in its war effort.
The North American farm is the only
known source of many of the foods
needed in Europe and China today.
Dairy products, eggs, pork and beef
are most sorely needed.
The American farmer who has a
sense of his responsibility in this
scene and vigorously applies himself
to the task is fulfilling a real trust just
as essential to ultimate victory as the
performance of the leatherneck marine
at Walge- Island.
In addition to providing food there
are some minor rules for the farmer
which when accumulated in one pile
represent a great contribution. There
are thousands of tons of scrap iron
scattered about our farms. As it. is,
it is of no value, delivered to a scrap
dealer it is worth considerable cash
to the farmer and is sorely needed by
the steel industry.
It seems that while the Japanese
were busily engaged gathering this
scrap iron from us in recent years and
our "brain trusts".were pointing out
how weak Japan is, we were exemplifying the proverb "it's the* cobbler's
kids-who go .barefooted." Today we
wish we had the 800 million tons of

A.& P. Company
Completes Bond
Purchase Plan
The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company has completed arrangements
for facilitating the voluntary purchase
of defense bonds by employes through
pay check deductions, John, A. Hartford, president of the company, announced Wednesday. The company
has approximately 65,000 full time employes in the United States.
Tinder the plan employes may
authorize deductions from their pay
checks and the bonds will be issued
through Federal Reserve banks and
post-offices. The company will deduct
the money each week and purchase
the bonds. The bonds will then be
mailed to the eriiployee-purchasers.
The plan encourages the purchase
of bonds by simplifying the procedure
whereby employes may make a
systematic contribution to the nation's
war effort and at the same time
establish a reserve fund for the future.

William Lowery was born at Grafton, Canada, July 12, 1863. He came
to the United States in 1887. He
worked in the lumber woods at Hatton,
Clare county, Michigan, one and "one
half years, and then left the camp and
came home and helped his father on
the farm three years. He went to
Owosso in 1891 and worked on the Ann
Arbor Railroad until 1893, when he
went to work on a street l'aiiway for
the Owosso & Corunna Electric Co,
and remained un.til 1902.
He was mai-ried to Miss Blanche
Whitton in 1894. One daughter was
born to this union. He went to Illinois in the spring of 1902 and worked
on a street car one year.
He married Georgia Hickland in
1901 and came to Clare in 1903 anil

A visit to the farm machine repair
school located in the Clare Trailer
factory leads one to suspect that Glare
County farmers are missing two good
opportunities. One is'the chance to
have their farm machinery overhauled
and put in good working condition at
no cost other than the new parts. All
labor, including welding or lathe work,
is free. The second fine opportunity
being overlooked is that offered young
and older farmers to come in to this
school and by repairing and adjusting
farm machinery under competent
supervision, learn how to make many
more repairs and adjustments at home
than they are now making. The net
result of either course of action, is a
larger life for farm machinery and
more efficient operation of all equipment.
A few years ago a farmer in Illinois
received considerable publicity because of the fact he had used one
mowing machine for about 50 years.
There are plenty of other instances of
mowing machines being used up and
scrapped in five to ten years. The
difference in cost of cutting hay on the
respective farms is a considerable
item. The only difference in circumstances is care of the machine. The
farmer using the machine for more
than 50 years had a firm conviction
that the older mower would do his
work well if he only kept it in good
working condition. Farmers of the
second group have taken but little
time and effort to care for the. investment they made and the natural consequence is a good piece of equipment
going to the junk pile sooner than it
should.
Mr. Garthe who. is supervising the
National Defense Training school
course's at the Clare Trailer Factory
states that he has room for many more
young farmers to enroll in the. farm'

The average number of pupils in the
grades benefited by the Milk Fund follow: Kindergarten, four; first grade,
eight; second grade, nine; and third
grade, three. Other children in these
grades Who need milk, also are served,
but the milk is paid for by their
