NURSING DIVISION
SEEKS VOLUNTEER
EMERGENCY AID
Ask Citizens to  Help  in
Preparation for Possible
Air Raid
Here is a way in which every man
and woman in Clare county can help
in the defense work of his community.
The Nursing Division of Civilian Defense has obtained the cooperation of
the fourteen registered nurses of the
county who are willing to give their
services should a war emergency
arise, but they need your help.
While it is sincerely hoped that
there will never be an occasion to put
into effect the following plan, still,
should a bombing or air raid occur the
local hospital facilities might prove
inadequate and so a plan to inventory
and know where necessary beds,
bedding and other articles needed in
the care of the sick or injured could
be obtained quickly is felt necessary.
The City Hall or some other building I
could be used as a temporary hospital, i
You will find a questionnaire on page
4 that you may check the articles you
have that you would be willing to
loan should the need occur. It is not
planned to collect these now but only
should a turn of events indicate a
more immediate need.
If you are willing to loan any of
the listed articles, mark each with
your name and address aud if possible
put them aside to be in readiness.
Acquaint your household with their
storage place that in your absence
they may be found if needed. Beds and
rubber articles may be marked with
adhesive labels and linens either by
indelible ink or sewing the name into
the material. The linens need not be
new; patched or your older s'tock will
be appreciated.
The questionnaire also asks for service. Men, with cars or trucks, and
others will be needed to help collect
and set up the equipment. Women
who are willing to do laundry in their
homes will be vitally needed, as will
women to cook and do other housekeeping duties at the temporary hospital. Those who have had experience
in caring for the sick and those who
have had Home Nursing classes can
be of great assistance' in doing essential but simpler nursing tasks, in this
way releasing the graduate nurses for
treatments and other care that they
alone are equipped to give.
Housing for convalescent patients is
included in this plan ,the thought here
is that there might be persons slightly
injured who because of the destruction of their homes would need room
for a day or two until they could make
some other arrangements.
If you want to help for your community and perhaps your care, fill out
the questionnaire at once and mail
it or take it to the Civilian Defense
Office (over Jackson's Market), Clare.
Remember that this is entirely a
volunteer program, one way in which
you can be a good neighbor.
If you want a speaker for your club
or group regarding this plan, call 793.
Citizens Bank
Offers Free Farm
Account Books
A new, simplified farm account book
is being offered free to farmers by The
Citizens State Bank of Clare.
The book was made up after talking
with county agents, representatives of
the Michigan State College, and with
practical farmers. This record book
is sufficient to gjve all figures necessary for income tax purposes, and
while the supply lasts, will be available at the bank.

LOCAL CHURCHES
TO JOIN IN GOOD
FRIDAHERVICE
Pastors   Will   Give   Short
Sermons on Topics
of the Day
The Good Friday service will be
held this year in the First Congregational church. A union choir will
render special music and the local
pastors will give sliort sermons on the
general theme, "From Gethsemene to
the Cross."
Rev. Albert Dawe will preside and
other ministers will speak as follows:
Rev. Harry Cleveland, "The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus."
Rev. Floyd Galusha, "The Verdict
of Pilate."
Rev. Dr. John Hall, "The Crucifixion
of Jesus."
The business people have kindly
consented to close their stores between the hours of one and three
o'clock, consequently the service will
begin and close conveniently between
those hours.
If for any reason you feel you cannot worship the full two'hours, you
may feel free to enter or leave at any
time. according to your convenience,
but kindly do so during the singing of
the hymns, so as not to disturb the
service during the speaking.
If ever there was a time when
believers both within and without the
church should reaffirm their allegiance
to Christ, it is now.
Come and worship!

Mr. Paul Gibson, Chairman

Harrison, Michigan.
My dear Mr. Gibson:
You were selected by your Chapter
for an important task—that of War
Fund Chairman. You and your associates have carried out that assignment successfully. Those who will
benefit most from your achievement
—the men in our armed forces and
their families, the refugees from areas
suffering the brunt of the war, and the
millions of citizens trained by the Red
Cross—owe much to you and your
army of volunteers for the splendid
work you have done.
The success of the War Fund appeal
is a major victory on the home front,
a tribute from those Who give their
dollars to those who risk their lives.
In the first test of patriotism, the
people of America have shown by
their voluntary action the true measure of their desire to help. They have
pledged their united faith in democracy.
While I know that your services as
War Fund Chairman have been recog-

In the case of many families, this
work would be prohibitable if the
family was required to pay for the
dentist's services and eventually a
large percentage of the patients would
develop complicating illnesses which
would sooner or later be paid for by
