State to Quit
Distribution of
Highway Maps
On orders from the Army, the State
stopped public distribution of its highway map Monday.
Highway Commissioner G. Donald
Kennedy said Maj. Gen. J. H. Cummins, commanding officer of the Sixth
Corps' area, had said "this is an
exceptionally  fine,  well-detailed  map
to
unfriendly agencies were it to be given
general ^distribution."
The State Highway Department for
years has taken pride in. supplying
motorists with free copies of the State
Highway map, and last year distributed 525,000 of them.
On orders of Maj. Gen. Cummins the
maps now will only go to official
agencies and to "various defense organizations upon determination of the
purposes for which they will be used."
Any motorist wishing a new edition
of his hignway map will now have to
get it through the Automobile Club of
Michigan or one of the several gasoline icompanies which give maps
away.

ADMINISTRATION
OF AAA PROGRAM
100%FARMERS
Local Committees Elected
by Farmers of This
Gommunity
The A.A.A. Farm Program is 100 per
cent farmer administered, from the
A.A.A. - Administrator to the local
community A.A.A. committeeman. This
is as it should be, since the A.A.A.
Farm Program is designed to be an
expression of national policy for solving farm problems. As its name
implies, it is a program to aid farmers
themselves to adjust agriculture on a
national scale to meet constantly
changing conditions. In placing the
oper&tion of the Program in the hands
of the farmers, Congress recognized
that farmers, aided by agricultural
teehnlcianB, were the ones most
qualified to plan and direct the
program.
The center of your local administration is the Community Committee of
three farmers. Clare county has eight
districts made up of all sixteen townships with Arthur A. Lower elected
chairman for Arthur Township, Everett L. Wallace chairman for Franklin
and Hamilton townships, Floren Pudvay chairman for Sheridan township,
Ortho Boulton chairman for Hayes,
Hatton, and Frost townships, Lewis R.
Light chairman for Greenwood, Sum-
meriield and Redding townships, Thur-
man Robinette chairman .for Grant
township, Fred E. Bulman chairman
tor Winterfleld township, and Grant
W. McLane chairman for Surrey,
Garfield, Lincoln, and Freeman townships. These Community Committeemen were elected by their fellow
farmers by secret ballot in annual
elections.
These representatives of the communities in the county choose three
farmers to serve as the County Committee. These are Robert C. Kleiner,
Chairman Clave County Agricultural
Conservation Association, whose farm
is in Sheridan. Township; Ortho Boulton, Vice-Chairman Clare County ACA,
whose farm is in Hayes township; and

Fly Kites Safely
Advice of Power
Company Mgr.\
A few suggestions as to how kite
flyers can "keep 'em flying" without
endangering themselves or electric
service, came today from D. H. Gerhard, division manager of Consumers
Power Company.
"To let a kite come in contact with
electric wires is always dangerous,"
said Mr. (jerhard, "This is especially
true if the kite has metal parts or if
the 'cord' consists of wire or tinsel
string. Wet twine is equally dangerous, "for it also is a conductor of
electricity.
"A kite flyer who lets his kite hit
electric wires not only may suffer a
severe and possibly fatal electric
shock but he may also interrupt service to homes and factories ■— a
particularly Berious possibility when
our factories are working on production for war."
For safety and more fun, Mr. Gerhard urged kite flyers to choose a
large open space, free from all electric
wires, and to use only dry twine for
kite-flying purposes.
A safe kite flyer, he said, never runs
across a street or highway while flying
his kite, nor climbs a pole or tree to
recover a kite caught in wires, nor
reaches into wires' with a rake or a
pole.

NAVY OFFERS OPPORTUNITY
TO MEN GIVEN SELECTIVE
SERVICE NUMBERS TUESDAY
Men of the Detroit-Toledo area
given Selective Service order numbers
in the national lottery Tuesday were
advised today by Lieutenant Commander Carson R. Miller, officer in
charge of the Detroit Navy Recruiting Station, to look into opportunities
which the Navy offers them.
A visit to a local Navy recruiting
station and the taking of a physical
examination puts a man under no obligation to enlist, the commander said.
"We feel that many of the selectees
who have just received order numbers
can qualify as petty officers in the
Navy at. high rates of pay," said Lieutenant Commander Miller. He pointed
out that these' positions pay up to $99
per month, plus subsistence allowances.
There are 56 trades and 100 specialties in which men may obtain petty
officer ratings, the commander pointed
put.' ."
Every resource of the National
Society for Crippled Children, Inc.,
and its forty-two state associations
has been offered the nation to "help
meet the great problem of the wounded permanently handicapped soldier,"
Mrs. Frank Hochstetler, chairman of
the Clare county Easter Seal Sale, said
this week.
The annual sale of Easter Seals to
finance the program of the Michigan
Society for Crippled Children as well
as that of the National Society is now
in progress. It will close on Easter
Day, April 5.
A proposal to make the facilities
and experience of the combined state
societies available in the time of
emergency was made by E. W. Palmer,
president of the national organization.
"The problem of the returned soldiers
who will have suffered permanent
physical disability in defense of our
country is one which undoubtedly is being, or soon will be considered by our
national leaders. We hope that Victory will soon be ours, ancl that our
maimed and handicapped will be few.
But the prospect that the number may
be large, and the problem one of great
proportions, is a possibility We unfortunately must face. It is a task which
may well require not only expanded
government facilities, but every existing resource of a private and volunteer
nature," said Mrs. Hochstetler, quoting
Mr. Palmer's statement.
"Identified with our organization are
nationally known experts in the vocational adjustment and" re-employment of the crippled. Realizing the
expanding need of this kind of service

March is "M-Month"—Mobilization
Month. "We'll find farmers making
every effort to get ready for spring
work. This year its importance has
increased and its coming is anxiously
waited for. Every farmer is eager to
get at it and do his part in answering
Mother Nature's call for "over the
top." We must go over the top—that
means exceed the goals that have been
set for 1942. Do you know your farm
goal?
This is the job of the A.A.A. to keep
informed and you informed on what is
needed and how much. Soil biiilding
practices, allotments, loans, crop insurance, quotas, and special provisions
are all vital to the plan for greater
food production.
The A.A.A. will be called upon to
use its middle name in the program.
Changing the program to fit the needs
of our war effort we now have "war
crops" of soybeans, flaxseed and peanuts for oil; tomatoes and peas for
canning; castor beans, sugar beets,
dry edible beans, and peas. This is
adjustment, the thing your farm has
been built around.
Farmers write the program, and
farmers administer it. From' Vice-
President Wallace on down we have
farmers in the National Farni Program
to make sure that agriculture meets
its war time responsibilities. Let's
all be ready .for'spring"and its call
