J. E. DOHERTY NAMED
CAPTAIN OF CITIZENS
FOR VICTORY HERE
Adopt Slogan, "A Slip of the
Lip May Sink a
Ship"
The Committee to Defend America,
with 800 chapters, has joined the
Council for Democracy in the formation of "Citizens for Victory," an
organization devoted to building civilian morale and dedicated to the
policy of not only winning the war,
but also winning the peace.
John E. Doherty has been designated as a Captain in this area, comprising Clare, Isabella and Midland
counties, and he will appoint ten
Lieutenants, who in turn will enlist
.ten Privates for the promotion of the
cause.
Chairman John J. O'Brien, of Detroit, in a recent communication to
Mr. Doherty, says, "While American
men are fighting in distant parts of
the world, Axis termites are boring
into our foundations at home by
spreading rumors and organizing campaigns of racial and religious prejudices. We, ourselves, have a host of
thoughtless citizens, spreading defeatism stories, gossiping about troop
movements, criticizing in a destructive way, our allies and our war effort,
and, consciously or unconsciously,
tearing down the home defense so
vital to the success of the men in
the fighting areas.
' "The attack of Pearl Harbor united
most of our citizens, but it drove the
enemy in our midst underground. We
must help keep him there by awakening our decent citizens to the dangers
of loose tongues. 'A slip of the lip
may sink a ship'. We must set an
example for our families, our friends,
and our enemies.
"To aid our armed forces, we must
check these rumor-mongers and weak-
kneed disseminators of defeatist
stories. 'Thumbs-up' must be our
slogan for the duration of the war.
We must protect loyal aliens in their
jobs and from 'vigilante' attacks. We
must check anti-Semitic and anti-
Christian animosities. We must promote economy in government and
thrift among our individual citizens.
It is our duty to prevent Avastefulness,
Mr. Doherty announced Wednesday
that he had already appointed his ten
Lieutenants for Clare county and a
list of these together with, other information that may be of interest to
the public will be published in the
Sentinel in the next week or so.
GOVERNOR ENDORSES
EASTER CAMPAIGN FOR
CRIPPLED CHILDREN
*
Seal Sale to Be Conducted Here
From March 10th to
April 5th
Governor Murray D. VanWagoner
recently • endorsed the ninth annual
Easter Seal Campaign for crippled
children in the following words.
"I am happy again to endorse the
ninth annual sale of Easter Seals for
crippled children, sponsored by the
Michigan Society for Crippled Children, Inc., which is scheduled to take
place March 10 to April 5. I take this
means of commending you and your
associates on your untiring efforts to
aid crippled boys and girls and physically disabled adults.
"Increased responsibility is being
thrown upon your volunteer, charitable agency due to the diversion of
public effort to the channels of arms
and supply. As exemplified in your
Easter Seal Sale, it is a significant
fact that even in time of war and
despite the world conflict, we still hold
to the ideals of Christianity and
democracy which find their noblest
expression in helping the helpless. It!
means very definitely that we have an |
abiding faith in the future of our
American way of life.
"I know our citizens realize full well
the expanding need of the Michigan.
Society's kind of service as the war
progresses. Although the element of
human sympathy is inescapable, it
should not be such as to obscure practical aspects of the situation. Your
organization has brought home the
fact that by a small investment,
society can be relieved of a grea,t
financial burden.
"It is not only a fine thing for the
physically disabled, but for all of us.
It is a movement which pays dividends
of the kind that should have the support of everyone. All citizens of
Michigan can well be proud that such
a fine, humanitarian program is being
carried on within our state.
"As Governor of Michigan, I share
that pride, and I urge a full measure
of support for the Easter Seal Sale
and the program of the Michigan
Society for Crippled Children, Inc."
Campaign chairman Mrs. Frank
Hochstetler will be assisted by Mrs.
Helen Kidd, of Farwell, Mrs. Charles
Amble, of Harrison, Mrs. Kuno Ham-
merberg and Mrs. Jesse Hampton, in
conducting the local seal sale, and
Mrs. Merle Samborn will be publicity
chairman.

available for rationing this month because the Office of Price Administration did not set up a March quota for
passenger retreads, Wm. A Henderson, county rationing administrator,
said today.
Mr. Henderson pointed out that it
appears most improbable that a quota
will be issued for April in view of the
fact that the War. Production Board
did not authorize production of camels
back in passenger car sizes in March,
The only March quotas which Federal
authorities have authorized for retreads apply to trucks and busses.
"We have experienced a flood of
applications from passenger car owners who believe they can have their
tires retreaded," he said. "It would
save their time if they understood that
in spite of tne fact they are eligible
for retreads, no quota has been made
available."
The March allotment of tires and
tubes is as follows: Passenger, eight
tires and seven tubes; trucks, ten
tires and twenty-seven tubes, and
twenty-four retreads for trucks; no
retreads for passenger.
Clare county is alloted sixteen passenger cars for the 'months of March,
April and May. Recent order from
Lansing is that no passenger cars can
be alloted until March 20, except in
extreme emergency.
The supplies for Sugar Rationing

The AAA. meeting to have been

evening has been postponed until next
Friday evening, March 20, because of
road conditions, and will open at 8:30
o'clock Eastern War Time.
Emphasizing the broadness of the
defense program, Laurence W. Jackson, chairman of the Clare Defense
Council, has listed things which the
average citizen can do to aid the defense movement—things in addition
to enrolling as air raid wardens, auxiliary firemen and policemen, or in the
other divisions of the Citizens' Defense Corps protective services.
"Civilian defense has two broad
classifications of activities," Mr. Jackson said. "There are the active services—protective functions having to
do with air raid precautions—and then
there are the community activities into which every one of us can, participate. The civilian defense program is
broad; the tasks are tremendous; time
is short.
"If adults have not already done so,
we urge them to visit and register
their services at the Civilian Defense
Volunteer Office. A record of special
skills or preferences is being set up,
on which we will draw when needed.
Persons who are untrained may start
immediately, attending schools which
provide basic training in first aid, fire
prevention, gas/ defense, civilian defense organization and military drill.
"Not all of us can be air raid wardens or auxiliary fire fighters. The
unglamorous community service jobs
are doubly important just now, because the morale and health of all the j acting director
people must be maintained. Some of jNo- 7-
the most valuable contributions to nat-1 Among
ional defense may be made immediately in the health, social welfare, recreation and youth fields.
"Every day we are asked, 'What can
I do for civilian defense?' Until the
time arrives for active duty we can
all give an honest day's work, every
day, whether we are engaged in civilian protection or working on weapons
of war. It is as simple as that, Do
All Highways Blocked With
Drifting Snow All
Day Monday
What appeared to be a "maple sugar
snow" commenced tp fall in Clare
'Sunday afternoon; but the storm increased in snowfall and velocity until. .
it, became the worst blizzard this community and Central Michigan has ex-
perienced in six years.
All highways leading into Clare and.
county roads throughout the county,
were blocked from early Monday,
morning until sometime Tuesday,
morning. State highway maintenance
trucks attempted to keep State and..
Federal highways open until five ot-'
their trucks were wrecked or snowed^.
in and State Highway officials at Lan-'
sing instructed them to give• the ji>b up.
until the wind abated, because of the.
uselessness of their efforts and traffic
danger.
One State truck was buried in eleven
feet of snow five miles west of Harrison and a snow-go was brought in from
Alma Tuesday morning to dig it out.
Trucks leaving Clare Monday morning managed to plow through to
Harrison but because of the increased
intensity of the storm were unable to
get back to Clare until 4:00 o'clock
Tuesday morning. Some State employees were called off the job after
having worked thirty hours at a
stretch in an effort to keep their highways open to traffic.
As the wind decreased in velocity
at 10:08 o'clock Monday evening, the
State crews were again sent out and
had trunklines US-27 and US-10 open
at noon, on Tuesday, and M-61 opened
west of Harrison Wednesday.
The State Highway Department reported fifty cars and trucks snowed in
at Forest Hill with this stretch of
highway closed until some time Tuesday.
Clare county snow crews tosk their
trucks out Monday morning in an
effort to open up county highways, but
with the high winds blowing the snow
back into the roads and drifting their
paths full within a half mile behind
the trucks, they were called in until
the storm abated.
• -County trucks attempted in vain to
open a road to the Cornwell Ranch
that their milk delivery trucks might
supply their patrons in Clare, Harrison, Coleman, and Lake George. This
road was opened in time for Tuesday
deliveries, although they were later
than usual.
An attempt was also made to open a
road to the home of Rev. Charles
Kleinhardt, at Brown Corners, where
ministers who had conducted special
Sunday services there, were snowed
in, but this could not be accomplished.
County crews were not sent out Until
daylight Tuesday morning because
with the county roads, bridges, and
culverts narrower than those of the '
State highway system, danger of
traffic collisions and wrecking of
equipment, accompanied by danger of
serious injury to, those involved, is
greatly increased.
It is difficult to visualize how hard
it is for drivers to see ahead of their
trucks at night, with the large plows
throwing snow high into the air, un~
