CLARE LIBRARY
RECEIVES CHECK;
FROM STATE FUND
, —■ -*■■■■——
$138.66 Grant to Be Used
to Improve Service of
Local Library
The Clare City Library today received two checks totaling §138,66
from the State Board for Libraries,
according-to Mrs. Ruth Neff, treasurer
of the library association. These
checks are grants from the State Aid
to Public Libraries Fund.
A year ago this month Governor
Murray D, VanWagoner signed the
bill which made state aid to public
libraries legal in Michigan. For the
year 1941-42 the legislature has provided $250,000 to improve existing
libraries in the state and to develop
new service.
Tire total allotment for grants from
the General Library Fund amounts to
?182,500, by far the largest proportion of the state-aid monies. Remain-
ing funds are being used to establish
five new county libraries—in Iosco,
Mason, Muskegon, VanBuren, and
Wexford counties—and to equalize
library resources in all parts of the
state.
These library grants are not ''handout," Mrs. Neft' points out. They are a
lively incentive to local initiative. To
be eligible for its share in the General
Library Fund, the Clare City Library
had to have an appropriation during
its last fiscal year preceding July 1,
1941, equal to or more than the average of the last three fiscal years.
Unprecedented war-time demands
make the state-aid grants doubly welcome. Practically every Michigan
library is setting up its books and staff
to serve as a war information center
where civilians nnd the latest information on such essentials as home
defense, first aid, nursing, feeding the
family, gardening, and food preservation.
In many libraries, defense workers
are sweeping the shelves bare of technical books. Foremen and instructors ask help in retraining employees.
Housewives seek aid in stretching the
household dollar.
Palatable recipes which go lightly
on the sugar bowl; substitutes for
rationed and scarce commodities;
budgeting to meet the higher cost Of
living; guidance to parents with wartime problems; vacation plans which
spare gasoline and tires; and consumer buying hints these and many
similar questions are being given substantial answers at public libraries
since the nation tightened its belt at
Pearl Harbor.
Air Raid Wardens
Will Experiment
With Fire Siren
The Clare County Council of Defense has arranged With city officials
to permit local Aid Raid Wardens to
experiment with the city fire siren,

o'clock, for the purpose of arranging
an air raid warning that may be, clearly distinguished from the present fire
alarin signal.
Members of the local Are department, as well as air raid wardens, will
be present to promptly attend to any
fire alarm that may be received or any
other emergency that may arise
during the experimenting with the
fire siren. Local citizens need not be
alarmed by the continuous sounding of
the siren at this time.

HOUSEWIFE HAS
OPPORTUNITY TO
HELP FIGHT AXIS
Two Billion Pounds Wasted
Kitchen Fats Vital
to Victory
James A. Clute, chairman of the
Clare County Salvage for Victory
Committee, announced early this week
that all was In readiness here for the
opening of the National Fat Salvage
Program commencing throughout the
nation on Monday of this week,
The Bureau of Industrial Conservation has set up the Fats Salvage
Program giving each family a goal of
between one and two pounds of waste
cooking fats per month which wouh'
yield well over half a billion pounds
per year.« It is estimated that two
billions of pounds of kitchen fats are
now wasted each year.
The reasons behind this effort are
as follows: War in the Pacific has
reduced imports of fats and oils from
the Far East, and substitution must be
effected to replace this loss in normal
supply. Moreover, the war effort requires glycerine for explosives and
other war needs, both for our own
forces and those of our Allies. And
fats make glycerine. Therefore, for
both Of these reasons, it is necessary
to salvage every possible pound of
waste kitchen fats.
The uses of glycerine and its many
chemical combinations by our armed
forces and those of our Allies are
many. For the Army they include explosives, signal rockets, recoil meehan- J
isms, demolition charges, propellents,
and gun powder. Abroard warships
this vital product is used in ship's
compasses, hydraulic equipment,
pumps, stearing gears, and in depth-
charge release, gears. It is also used
in protective coatings for ships, tanks
and turrets, and as a base chemical in
the manufacture of many, other products used by ail branches of the
fighting services.
Two-pounds of waste kitchen fats
.contain enough glycerine to fire FIVE
anti-tank gun shells.
Trade channels, have been set up to
handle the flow of fats from the housewife through' ,the local meat dealer to
the rendering plants for 'processing.
The. meat dealers will Weigh and buy
waste fats from the housewife and sell
tbern to the renderer. The renderer
will buy and transport fats to his
plant for processing and then forward
the refined product to industries. The
price which the housewife receives is
goverehed by'how much the renderer
pays' the meat dealer.
The fats to be saved are pan drip-

THURSDAY NITE FIRE
DESTROYS GARAGE AND
CAR AT BEALE FARM
Department Extinguishes Grass
Fire Near City Limits
During Afternoon
The local fire department's rural
truck made two runs Thursday afternoon and evening of last week.
At about 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon the truck was called to the
eastern edge of this city to extinguish
a grass fire that Was gaining rapid
headway across a meadow and threatened buildings in the vicinity.
At 11:15 Thursday evening the
department was called to the Ernie
Beale farm three miles east of
town where the garage was burning,
but the fire Was so far advanced upon
the arrival of the fire fighters that
neither the garage building nor the
1841 Ford car in the building could be
Saved.
The damage to the garage, estimated
at §1E0, was" covered by insurance,
and the car, which-.belonged to the
tennants oa the ■ farm and had been
driven only a few thousand -miles, was
completely .-destroyed.. :It .is reported
that the car was also insured against
fire loss.
More than one hundred Townsend-
ites from the tenth district met in the
Clare City Hall Sunday afternoon for
a rally meeting. Mrs, Effie Harvey,
president of the Clare Club, called the
meeting to order in the usual manner
with "America," the Pledge to the
American Flag, and the Lord's Prayer
in unison. Lorraine and Sandra
Schultz sang, "We're the Couple in the
Castle," and "Our Victory Girl," with
their mother at the piano. Mrs. Will
Gilson was organist for the Coleman
group which sang several Townsend
songs.
Mrs. Harvey then presented Elden
Witkovsky, of Beaverton, president
of the district council, who took,
charge and spoke briefly of the Council meeting preceding the meeting and
made several statements and announcements. He called on Ezra Marvin, of Bay City, deputy State Representative, who told of some of the
work of the clubs in the district.
The main address of the day was
given by Floyd R. Moody, of Battle
Creek, National Representative of the
Townsend Plan. He gave an interesting and explanatory talk on the plan
and used as his theme the Preamble
of the Constitution, taking each
phrase and giving illustrations on
what the Townsend plan can do.

DEMONSTRATION OF
CANNING FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES PLANNED
Homemakers to Meet at Glare
and Harrison Tuesday
and Wednesday
How to pack away the most possible
pounds of vegetables from the Victory
garden, how to can and dry fruits for
use during the winter, and sugarless
canning are topics of much concern to
the home makers of America.
Clare county women will have a
chance to see this demonstrated next
Tuesday, July 14, at the Clare City Hall
and Wednesday in the Congregational
Church dining room at Harrison. Miss
Miriam Eads, Nutrition Specialist of
Michigan State College, will conduct
the demonstrations and discussion of
methods.
It has been stated that growing a
victory garden is a patriotic duty. A
well balanced garden provides abundant supplies of vegetables to be preserved for winter use. The Indians
used smoke and drying to a large
extent-as a means of preservation of
foods. These-methods are still good
for certain products. Canning 6f fruits
and vegetables to preserve their food
values has assumed added significance
in the light of scientific study of recent
years.
Miss Eads Will discuss methods of
storing, drying, canning without sugar
in addition to demonstrating several
steps in the processes.
Meetings will start at 2:00 p. m.
and all homemakers are cordially invited.

Miss Kittie McKinley, a resident of
this community for the past fifty-eight
years, passed away at her home on
east Fourth street at 7:00 o'clock
Sunday morning, following five years
of ill health.
Miss Frances C. McKinley was born
the daughter of William and Phoebe
Minerva McKinley at, Bluffton, Ohio,
November 23, 1872.
She came to the Dover community
with her parents in 1884, at the age of
twelve years, and made her home
there continuously until moving to
Clare three years ago. As a girl, the
life of the early pioneer was familiar
to her, living with' her parents in a
clearing surrounded by virgin timber
which she saw cut and hauled out to
the lumber mills by her father and
where later she witnessed the development of this fertile farming community.
For four years she carried the
United States mail, in summer with
horse and buggy and in winter with
horse and cutter, between the Dover
and Clare post offices., before the
Dover office was discontinued.
She was a devoted member of the
Eagle Church of God society for years
before the church was built there, the
meetings being held in the school
house, and has remained loyal to this
society through the years, taking an
active part in church work as long as
her health permitted.
Miss McKinley was one of seven
children born to her parents, all of
whom have precededuher- in death -ex-
cept two sisters, Mrs. Mary Jerred, of
this city, and Mrs. Nancy Teall, of
Eagle. She is also survived by a
niece, Miss Goldie Jerred, of this city,
who tenderly cared- for her during her
illness; other relatives and many
friends.
With her passing another congenial
and highly respected elderly lady has
been taken from our midst, but memory of her as one of the early pioneers
of the community wilt. linger for generations to come.
Funeral services were- held from the
Thurston Funeral Home- at 2;0fl
o'clock Wednesday afternoon , with
Rev. Albert Dawe officiating, and sshe
was laid at rest beside her parents in
Cherry Grove cemetery.
SUGAR RATIONING
BOARD ANNOUNCES
TWO POUND BONUS
Tires, Tubes and Passenger
Gars Rationed Here
June 23-30
Price Administrator Leon Henderson
has announced a temporary bonus of
a pound of sugar per person every
three weeks and William A. Henderson, chairman of the Clare county \
rationing' board, received a telegram
IVednesday advising him that sugar1
rationing stamp No. 7 is good for two
pounds of sugar, effective July 10 to j
August 22. Chairman Henderson j
cautions that stamps No. 7 may be
removed from the book before stamp j
No. 6, but stamp No. 6 must remain j
attached to the book until valid, orj
between July 26 and August 22, Of
course all stamps must remain in I
ration books until removed by the
merchant from whom the sugar is purchased.
A permanent bonus of a pound of
sugar per person every three weeks
has been predicted by rationing officials but the bonus has been declared
for only the initial six weeks period.
Restaurants, hospitals, and other
institutional customers will be permitted to purchase one third more sugar
than originally.
Rationing officials disclosed that
supplies for the next six mouths
should be at normal levels, and although the Office of Price Administration denied that the nation-s supply
was as hig has normal, due to decrease
in holdings by wholesalers and retailers, one official has stated that
imports from Hawaii and the Caribbean were about normal despite the.
shipping situation.
After conferring with shipping
officials, the war production, board has
estimated that about fifty pounds of
sugar would be available for each
person during the coming six months.
This would be about the normal peacetime consumption.

OSCAR LOWERY
FATALLY SHOOTS
M0THER_IN BACK
Tragedy Occurs Following
Quarrel Over Employment Papers
One of the greatest tragedies in thfit
annals of Clare county occurred eight
and one-half miles northeast of Clare .
at 10:30 o'clock last Friday morning
when Oscar Lowery, 42, fatally shot
his seventy-one year old mother, Mrs. <
Elijah Lowery. following a quarrel concerning what was written on employment papers concerning Oscar, whom
the family apparently considered in«
competent.
According to a confession made to.
Coroner Andrew N. Friz, in Lowery'S
cell at the Clare county jail Friday
noon, Oscar persistently threatened to
his mother that he would leave home
and when she finally said she would
get the Sheriff he procured a twelve
guage shotgun which was in the house
and she walked out the front (east)
door of the home into the yard. She
walked around the yard a bit and he
went out the south door of the house
and in his own words "I just grabbed
the gun and shot her somewhere in
the back." She was about twenty
feet from him when he shot her. When
asked if he realized what he had done,
he replied, "I know that the shot was
enough to finish anyone," He informed
Coroner Friz that the size of the shot
might have been five or six.
Lowery called his father and &
brother who were working in the fields
of the farm, one mile east of Eagler
the latter overpowering him when he"
saw what had been done. Oscar
stated that he thought he would shoot
himself, but decided not to. When
asked how long he had had the killing:
In mind, he denied premeditation saying "just this morning when this came*
up."
Oscar Lowery, who had previously*
been confined to the Traverse City"
state hospital, is being held in the
Clare county jail.
Lowery was arraigned before Jus--
tiee Jennings Archambault, in the
offices of Prosecuting Attorney Donald E. Holbrook, at 3:00 o'clock-Tuesday afternoon, plead guilty, Waived:
examiriatibn, and was bound over t&
Circuit Court to await sentence by/
Judge Ray Hart. He was returned to
the county jail by Sheriff Seaver"
Amble,
Funeral services for Mrs. .Lowery
were held from the Clare Church, of
God at 2:00 o'clock Monday afternoon,
with Rey. Harry Cleveland officiating,
and interment in the Coleman Cemetery.

FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 10, 1942 New Series Vol, 50, No. 40 CLARE LIBRARY RECEIVES CHECK; FROM STATE FUND , —■ -*■■■■—— $138.66 Grant to Be Used to Improve Service of Local Library The Clare City Library today received two checks totaling §138,66 from the State Board for Libraries, according-to Mrs. Ruth Neff, treasurer of the library association. These checks are grants from the State Aid to Public Libraries Fund. A year ago this month Governor Murray D, VanWagoner signed the bill which made state aid to public libraries legal in Michigan. For the year 1941-42 the legislature has provided $250,000 to improve existing libraries in the state and to develop new service. Tire total allotment for grants from the General Library Fund amounts to ?182,500, by far the largest proportion of the state-aid monies. Remain- ing funds are being used to establish five new county libraries—in Iosco, Mason, Muskegon, VanBuren, and Wexford counties—and to equalize library resources in all parts of the state. These library grants are not ''handout" Mrs. Neft' points out. They are a lively incentive to local initiative. To be eligible for its share in the General Library Fund, the Clare City Library had to have an appropriation during its last fiscal year preceding July 1, 1941, equal to or more than the average of the last three fiscal years. Unprecedented war-time demands make the state-aid grants doubly welcome. Practically every Michigan library is setting up its books and staff to serve as a war information center where civilians nnd the latest information on such essentials as home defense, first aid, nursing, feeding the family, gardening, and food preservation. In many libraries, defense workers are sweeping the shelves bare of technical books. Foremen and instructors ask help in retraining employees. Housewives seek aid in stretching the household dollar. Palatable recipes which go lightly on the sugar bowl; substitutes for rationed and scarce commodities; budgeting to meet the higher cost Of living; guidance to parents with wartime problems; vacation plans which spare gasoline and tires; and consumer buying hints these and many similar questions are being given substantial answers at public libraries since the nation tightened its belt at Pearl Harbor. Air Raid Wardens Will Experiment With Fire Siren The Clare County Council of Defense has arranged With city officials to permit local Aid Raid Wardens to experiment with the city fire siren, next Monday evening at about 7:30 o'clock, for the purpose of arranging an air raid warning that may be, clearly distinguished from the present fire alarin signal. Members of the local Are department, as well as air raid wardens, will be present to promptly attend to any fire alarm that may be received or any other emergency that may arise during the experimenting with the fire siren. Local citizens need not be alarmed by the continuous sounding of the siren at this time.

HOUSEWIFE HAS OPPORTUNITY TO HELP FIGHT AXIS Two Billion Pounds Wasted Kitchen Fats Vital to Victory James A. Clute, chairman of the Clare County Salvage for Victory Committee, announced early this week that all was In readiness here for the opening of the National Fat Salvage Program commencing throughout the nation on Monday of this week, The Bureau of Industrial Conservation has set up the Fats Salvage Program giving each family a goal of between one and two pounds of waste cooking fats per month which wouh' yield well over half a billion pounds per year.« It is estimated that two billions of pounds of kitchen fats are now wasted each year. The reasons behind this effort are as follows: War in the Pacific has reduced imports of fats and oils from the Far East, and substitution must be effected to replace this loss in normal supply. Moreover, the war effort requires glycerine for explosives and other war needs, both for our own forces and those of our Allies. And fats make glycerine. Therefore, for both Of these reasons, it is necessary to salvage every possible pound of waste kitchen fats. The uses of glycerine and its many chemical combinations by our armed forces and those of our Allies are many. For the Army they include explosives, signal rockets, recoil meehan- J isms, demolition charges, propellents, and gun powder. Abroard warships this vital product is used in ship's compasses, hydraulic equipment, pumps, stearing gears, and in depth- charge release, gears. It is also used in protective coatings for ships, tanks and turrets, and as a base chemical in the manufacture of many, other products used by ail branches of the fighting services. Two-pounds of waste kitchen fats .contain enough glycerine to fire FIVE anti-tank gun shells. Trade channels, have been set up to handle the flow of fats from the housewife through' ,the local meat dealer to the rendering plants for 'processing. The. meat dealers will Weigh and buy waste fats from the housewife and sell tbern to the renderer. The renderer will buy and transport fats to his plant for processing and then forward the refined product to industries. The price which the housewife receives is goverehed by'how much the renderer pays' the meat dealer. The fats to be saved are pan drip- (Continued on Page Twelve) THURSDAY NITE FIRE DESTROYS GARAGE AND CAR AT BEALE FARM Department Extinguishes Grass Fire Near City Limits During Afternoon The local fire department's rural truck made two runs Thursday afternoon and evening of last week. At about 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon the truck was called to the eastern edge of this city to extinguish a grass fire that Was gaining rapid headway across a meadow and threatened buildings in the vicinity.

DEMONSTRATION OF CANNING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES PLANNED Homemakers to Meet at Glare and Harrison Tuesday and Wednesday How to pack away the most possible pounds of vegetables from the Victory garden, how to can and dry fruits for use during the winter, and sugarless canning are topics of much concern to the home makers of America. Clare county women will have a chance to see this demonstrated next Tuesday, July 14, at the Clare City Hall and Wednesday in the Congregational Church dining room at Harrison. Miss Miriam Eads, Nutrition Specialist of Michigan State College, will conduct the demonstrations and discussion of methods. It has been stated that growing a victory garden is a patriotic duty. A well balanced garden provides abundant supplies of vegetables to be preserved for winter use. The Indians used smoke and drying to a large extent-as a means of preservation of foods. These-methods are still good for certain products. Canning 6f fruits and vegetables to preserve their food values has assumed added significance in the light of scientific study of recent years. Miss Eads Will discuss methods of storing, drying, canning without sugar in addition to demonstrating several steps in the processes. Meetings will start at 2:00 p. m. and all homemakers are cordially invited.

For four years she carried the United States mail, in summer with horse and buggy and in winter with horse and cutter, between the Dover and Clare post offices., before the Dover office was discontinued. She was a devoted member of the Eagle Church of God society for years before the church was built there, the meetings being held in the school house, and has remained loyal to this society through the years, taking an active part in church work as long as her health permitted.
