WORKERS SOUGHT
TO HELP PRODUCE
FOOD FOR VICTOR
Business and Factory Men
Can Aid Farmers
Part Time
Reviewing things which the average
citizen can do right in his home to aid
defense, Lawrence W. Jackson, Chairman of the Clare Council of Defense,
listed projects which can be accomplished immediately without great
effort.
"First in importance, obviously, is
the need to clean, out attics and
cellars for scrap iron, waste paper and
other materials badly needed to keep
defense industries going," Mr. Jackson
said. "Undoubtedly there is equipment, appliances, such as furnace
parts, old stoves, boilers, cleaners
and so forth, which can be sold to
Salvage dealers or given to charity
organizations. Not only will clean-up
operations aid in salvage but also
will cut down fire hazards.
"We can purchase defense bonds
and stamps and participate in Red
Cross activities. Housewives can
make better use of food supplies and
aid in keeping food prices within
reasonable bounds. Careful planning, wise buying and no wasting are
three guide rules for all good food
shoppers.
"The housewife who wants to get
the greatest return .for her food
coney i^ight plan meals for a week
in advance, writing "out a seven-day
food budget and menu. She could do
the biggest part of her food shopping
on one or two days of the week,
watching for 'specials' and taking advantage of them when offered. She
could take time to compare prices
and to make changes in menus if another food seems a better value.
FiDally, she could 'study the nutritive
value of foods and plan each day's
menus to meet the food requirements
of the family.
"We must conserve food even
though we have plenty. That means
that as soon as spring arrives we,
should plan Victory Gardens. All of
us can have garden patches or can
cooperate with our neighbors in
establishing gardens. And we can
cooperate in a community canning
project when the crops are in. The
home is the nucleus of the entire
defense operation. A sound home with
everyone working for defense, is a
happy home and morale builder no
bomb can. destroy."

PJan Victory Gardens Now to
Provide Vegetables for
Table and Canning
The United States is at war. The
winning of this war depends not only
upon the production of sufficient materials for victory on the battle field,
but also upon the production of a
sufficient food supply. The United
States Employment Service, with the
cooperation of schools. County agents,
Granges, Agricultural Adjustment Administrators and other groups, has
started a recruitment program to recruit everyone available and willing to
work full time or part time on farms
during 1942. This will mean regular
workers, such as tenant farmers,
month hands and day workers and
seasonal workers. This last will require a large number of workers not
regularly used on the farm, as beet
workers, harvest hands, etc. Many industrial workers who are employed on
a 40 hour Week could make themselves
available to meet emergency situations after work or week ends. Regardless of where you work, if you
want to help in the "Food For Victory"
drive, get in touch with the United
States Employment Service, City Hall,
Alma, Michigan. Farmers should anticipate their needs as far ifr advance-
as possible. .

LOCAL COUNCIL
TO COORDINATE
WAR ACTIVITIES
Victory Speakers Bureau
Now Functioning
Effeciently
Because of the important part which
a community council can play in coordinating the defense activities of a
community in an emergency such as
we are now in, the Clare Community
Council voted to meet once a month
tor the duration. The meetings will
take place the fourth Tuesday of every
month at 7:30 in the City Library. The
next date of meeting will be April 28.
All organizations are urged to send at
least one representative.
The first monthly meeting took place
Tuesday evening, March 31. Lawrence
W. Jackson, Director of Civilian Defense, was present and expressed his
appreciation for the cooperation he
has received from the council in coordinating defense activities.
The Council took action to have two
community bulletin boards made, one
to be placed in the school building
and one in some prominent place down
town. The board would serve the same
purpose as the community calendar,
for it would be marked off in the form
of a six or twelve month calendar with
space for various activities to be
entered for each day. It is hoped that
a community bulletin board of this
type will help to eliminate conflicting
activities and, keep people informed as
to what is going on. More information
on how to use the board .will be published later.

Victory Speakers Bureau, announced

Triplet calves were born on the
farm of Bert Bergey, five miles east of
Clare in Wise township, on Good
Friday. The calves were all full size
and one is still living. Veterinary
Doctors Charles Stirling, of Clare, and
Floyd High, of Coleman, say that the
birth of triplet calves is a rare event.
Henry Doll and Richard Woodcock,
President and Vice President of the
Clare Rod and Gun Club, bagged a red
fox, while crow hunting Wednesday
morning. The boys' live decoy crow
"made a big fuss" about something
and soon they spied the fox and shot
it.
Ted Newman, who lives on the old
Brand farm, announces that they have
five sets of triplet lambs born this
season. The ewes and their babies are
all doing very nicely, thank you. This
will make quite a contribution toward
the "Food for Victory" campaign.

First Congregational Church, was
most inspiring and helpful. The
church was packed to its capacity;

nook and corner anc'; quite a number
of people could not gain admittance.
Those 'who took part were ReV.
Harry Cleveland of the Church of God,
Rev. Floyd Galusha of the Baptist
Church, Dr. John H.„Hall of the Methodist Church, all of whom gave very
helpful messages, and Rev. Albert
Dawe of the Congregational Church
presided.'-
A Union Choir representing all the
above named churches furnished the
music, singing a couple of very appropriate anthems which added much to
the value of the service.
The Chamber of Commerce requested the local business men to close
their business places from 1:00 to
3:00 o'clock, with a splendid response,
and many of them attended the service.

Twenty-six truck and bus retreads.
Twenty-seven truck and bus tubes.
The County Rationing Board has received regulations for rationing of,new
and used typewriters. These regulations to be effective April 13.
The extremely serious rubber situation has made it necessary to allocate
tire recapping material made almost
wholly of reclaimed rubber for use on
List B passenger cars during April,
John E. Hamm, acting administrator
of the Office of Price Administration,
explained.
The camelback which will go to retreading shops for use in meeting re
quirements under certificates issued to
List B passenger car operators in April
is made of reclaimed rubber with only
about two per cent of new crude used
in the mixture for cohesion. It was
pointed out, however, that some retreading establishments still have in
stock limited supplies of the better
qualities formerly in use, which may
be applied to tire carcasses wider cer-
ticates issued in April.
J "Tires recapped with this lower
(grade camelback should be driven at
! speeds no greater than 35 miles
I an hour," Mr. Hamm said. "Even at
how speeds, these tires are not likely
to run more than 5,000 miles. Unless
I the driver is careful, he cannot expect
j even that much- mileage."
I Applications for recapped tires or remapping service may be filed with local
i rationing boards by eligible List B
(passenger car operators beginning
i April 1, ancl the boards may issue certificates upon proof of need under the
j terms of the Revised Tire Rationing

WORKERS SOUGHT TO HELP PRODUCE FOOD FOR VICTOR Business and Factory Men Can Aid Farmers Part Time Reviewing things which the average citizen can do right in his home to aid defense, Lawrence W. Jackson, Chairman of the Clare Council of Defense, listed projects which can be accomplished immediately without great effort. "First in importance, obviously, is the need to clean, out attics and cellars for scrap iron, waste paper and other materials badly needed to keep defense industries going" Mr. Jackson said. "Undoubtedly there is equipment, appliances, such as furnace parts, old stoves, boilers, cleaners and so forth, which can be sold to Salvage dealers or given to charity organizations. Not only will clean-up operations aid in salvage but also will cut down fire hazards. "We can purchase defense bonds and stamps and participate in Red Cross activities. Housewives can make better use of food supplies and aid in keeping food prices within reasonable bounds. Careful planning, wise buying and no wasting are three guide rules for all good food shoppers. "The housewife who wants to get the greatest return .for her food coney i^ight plan meals for a week in advance, writing "out a seven-day food budget and menu. She could do the biggest part of her food shopping on one or two days of the week, watching for 'specials' and taking advantage of them when offered. She could take time to compare prices and to make changes in menus if another food seems a better value. FiDally, she could 'study the nutritive value of foods and plan each day's menus to meet the food requirements of the family. "We must conserve food even though we have plenty. That means that as soon as spring arrives we, should plan Victory Gardens. All of us can have garden patches or can cooperate with our neighbors in establishing gardens. And we can cooperate in a community canning project when the crops are in. The home is the nucleus of the entire defense operation. A sound home with everyone working for defense, is a happy home and morale builder no bomb can. destroy." DO MUCH RDS DEFENSE PJan Victory Gardens Now to Provide Vegetables for Table and Canning The United States is at war. The winning of this war depends not only upon the production of sufficient materials for victory on the battle field, but also upon the production of a sufficient food supply. The United States Employment Service, with the cooperation of schools. County agents, Granges, Agricultural Adjustment Administrators and other groups, has started a recruitment program to recruit everyone available and willing to work full time or part time on farms during 1942. This will mean regular workers, such as tenant farmers, month hands and day workers and seasonal workers. This last will require a large number of workers not regularly used on the farm, as beet workers, harvest hands, etc. Many industrial workers who are employed on a 40 hour Week could make themselves available to meet emergency situations after work or week ends. Regardless of where you work, if you want to help in the "Food For Victory" drive, get in touch with the United States Employment Service, City Hall, Alma, Michigan. Farmers should anticipate their needs as far ifr advance- as possible. . Interesting Bits of News from Hither and Yon LOCAL COUNCIL TO COORDINATE WAR ACTIVITIES Victory Speakers Bureau Now Functioning Effeciently Because of the important part which a community council can play in coordinating the defense activities of a community in an emergency such as we are now in, the Clare Community Council voted to meet once a month tor the duration. The meetings will take place the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7:30 in the City Library. The next date of meeting will be April 28. All organizations are urged to send at least one representative. The first monthly meeting took place Tuesday evening, March 31. Lawrence W. Jackson, Director of Civilian Defense, was present and expressed his appreciation for the cooperation he has received from the council in coordinating defense activities. The Council took action to have two community bulletin boards made, one to be placed in the school building and one in some prominent place down town. The board would serve the same purpose as the community calendar, for it would be marked off in the form of a six or twelve month calendar with space for various activities to be entered for each day. It is hoped that a community bulletin board of this type will help to eliminate conflicting activities and, keep people informed as to what is going on. More information on how to use the board .will be published later. Donald E. Holbrook, chairman of the Victory Speakers Bureau, announced that speakers are available to give five to fifty minute talks at organization meetings ion a variety of topics. Following is a list of speakers and their topics. Douglas Paxton—American Unity. Conrad Walker—Problem of Rubber. James A. Rawley—Farm Subjects. Dr. John H.

Miss Ina Mary Young—Health and the War. William Dunlop — Espionage and Sabotage. Harry Cleveland—Wartime Values. Emil Pfister—School and the War. Fr. Morrison—The Japanese and Chinese. E. Hickey—Red Cross. Rev. Albert Dawe—Salvaging Civilization. Triplet calves were born on the farm of Bert Bergey, five miles east of Clare in Wise township, on Good Friday. The calves were all full size and one is still living. Veterinary Doctors Charles Stirling, of Clare, and Floyd High, of Coleman, say that the birth of triplet calves is a rare event. Henry Doll and Richard Woodcock, President and Vice President of the Clare Rod and Gun Club, bagged a red fox, while crow hunting Wednesday morning. The boys' live decoy crow "made a big fuss" about something and soon they spied the fox and shot it. Ted Newman, who lives on the old Brand farm, announces that they have five sets of triplet lambs born this season. The ewes and their babies are all doing very nicely, thank you. This will make quite a contribution toward the "Food for Victory" campaign. ... ffflME; ■April 1&-114.B, Over Johft DohOrty'g store. ElftJ. J. B. Da&erty.

Albert Dawe of the Congregational Church presided.'- A Union Choir representing all the above named churches furnished the music, singing a couple of very appropriate anthems which added much to the value of the service.

The extremely serious rubber situation has made it necessary to allocate tire recapping material made almost wholly of reclaimed rubber for use on List B passenger cars during April, John E. Hamm, acting administrator of the Office of Price Administration, explained. The camelback which will go to retreading shops for use in meeting re quirements under certificates issued to List B passenger car operators in April is made of reclaimed rubber with only about two per cent of new crude used in the mixture for cohesion.

J "Tires recapped with this lower (grade camelback should be driven at ! speeds no greater than 35 miles I an hour" Mr. Hamm said.
