ED CROSS UNIT
FURNISH KITS FOR
EAS TROOPS
Oare County Chapter  to
Commence Work in
Near Future
The furnishing of kits for service
men embarking for overseas duty is
a project that has grown to such proportions that it has become necessary
for National .Red Cross headquarters
to suggest quotas to local Chapters in
order that .these kits will be available
in adequate quantities as needed.
The contents of the kits include
cigarettes, smoking tobacco, playing
cards, housewives (containing thread,
buttons, needles, and safety pins),
chewing g;um, safety razor blades,
shoe strings, polishing' cloths and
short -stories.
The-material for making the kits is
furnished by the government and the
contents by the local chapters. However, the cigarettes and playing
cards may -be obtained through National Headquarters exempt from Federal tax and all other contents at
wholesale through the government, so
those wishing to assist in furnishing
contents are requested to make cash
contributions.
Kits will be needed every mouth
and one ninth of Clare county's quota
of four hundred kits is desired during
August, if the material arrives soon
enough to make this possible, with the
balance shipped in monthly installments.
'The general plan is that all groups
.and organizations will contribute
.money to purchase contents for a
rgiven number of kits each month and
that other individuals may contribute
$1.00 for each kit they wish to furnish.
The kits will be given out at the
rpoint of embarkation and only to
.soldiers going overseas.
Local units are requested to complete all hospital supplies being made
as soon as possible and turn them in
so that they may be shipped not later
than September 15th.
The service men's kits are the important thing to consider at the present time and work on these will be
started as soon as the material is
received. Those who cannot sew or
knit may contribute for the purchase
of contents, thus giving all the opportunity of doing their bit for the comfort of the boys who are going "over
there."
Further instructions will be sent to
the different units very soon.
Child Health
Conference Here -
Next Thursday
The tenth in the series of Child
Health Conferences being held at the
County Health office in the Clare city
hall, will be held from 10:00 a, m.
until 12:00 noon and from 1:00 p, an.
until 4:00 p. m. Thursday, August 27.
All mothers are invited to bring
their babies and pre-school children
to be weighed, measured, examined
and immunized, if desired.
Sixteen babies and seven pre-school
children were examined -at the July
clinic and the older ones were immunized against smallpox and diphtheria.
j It is hoped that this number may .be
doubled at next week's conference.
With so many of our best physicians
being called into the service of our
.nation in its time of need, it is not
only important to the present and
i'Uture welfare of our babies and-children, but of vital interest to our
national welfare to avoid all possible
contraction of communicable diseases
among our people of all ages.

Special meetings will begin at the
Sheridan Baptist Church next Sunday
afternoon, August 23rd, at three
o'clock, with Rev. Harold Walker and
Rev. Geoge Pike, of Royal Oak, as
evangelists and singers.
These meetings will continue nightly for an indefinite period, at 8:15
each evening except Saturday. There
will be good singing and good preaching, and we sincerely invite all to
attend these special meetings.

Mrs. Jack Morgan, of Harrison,
daughter-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. A. J.
Morgan, of Clare, left here at 10:00
o'clock Wednesday morning, August
12th, with her two small daughters,
Jeanett, four years of age, ancl Jasper,
one year old, on a trip to Sau Francisco, California, in a 1930 Model A
Tudor Ford sedan, and had reached
Cheyenne, Wyoming, Monday, August
17th, as related on a postal card received by the Morgans Wednesday
morning.
She went by the way of Chicago and
Joliet, Illinois, reaching Davenport,
Iowa, the second night. She lost two
hours time a Adel, twenty-five miles
west of Des Moines, Iowa, where she
stopped for car repairs, but reached
Council Bluffs, Iowa, the third night.
She spent the fourth uight at North
Platte, Nebraska, reaching Cheyenne,
Wyoming, on the fifth night.
rihe is continuing her trip by the
way of Salt Lake City, Utah,, Carson
City Nevada, Sacramento, California,
md on to San Francisco, where she
will visit her husband at Hamilton
Field, for an indefinite time,
Mrs. Morgan writes that She is enjoying her trip .traveling as much as
335 miles in one day, and spending
her nights in tourist cabins. She
states that her greatest difficulty has
been getting her baby's washings
dry.
She is a trained nurse, graduating
from the Ford Hospital in Detroit in
1930, and expects to enter the nursing
service there.
It requires a great deal of courage
for a woman to attempt such a long
trip with her two babies in a twelve
year old automobile, but. this spirit of
Americanism will eventually win
peace for the democracies of the
world—and she has proven that there
is something to the slogan, "Watch
the Fords go by."
Wm. A. Henderson, Chairman of the
'Clare County War Price and Rationing Board, announced Thursday
morning that ration stamp No. 8
would be good for five pounds of sugar
any time in the ten week period beginning August 23rd and ending
•October 31st.
While the basic ration, of one-half
pound per person per week is unchanged, the lengthening- of the period
to ten weeks will facilitate the handling of sugar by retailers in the original five, ten and twenty-five pound
bags.
Stamp No. 6, good for two pounds
of sugar during the present four-week
period, and stamp No. 7, good for a
two pound bonus of sugar, may each
be used until midnight of this Saturday, August 22nd, after which they
will be void.
Mr. Henderson received a wire
Wednesday, corroborated by a letter
Thursday morning, preventing the
transfer of 1942 four door hard top
Ford, Plymouth and Chevrolet automobiles, effective Tuesday, August 18,
1942, and ending Saturday, October 31,
1942.
This will prevent the rationing of
these cars, having a list price of $1,000
or less, during this period. The reason
for this order is to meet the immediate needs of the armed forces,

American Red Cross has issued the
following statement relative to relief
of American prisoners of war in
Japan and Japanese-occupied territory:
"The American Red Cross has been
ever conscious of the grief and
anxiety of parents, wives and relatives of the men taken prisoners by the
Japanese, but the American Red Cross
would not be justified in holding out
hope of a successful relief mission to
these prisoners unless the means of
sending relief supplies were available.
The United States is at war with
Japan, and relief can be extended to
prisoners held by the Japanese only
with approval by the ^Japanese Government of, first, safe conduct of ships
to carry relief supplies to the Far
East, and second, the establishment of
facilities of the International Red
Cross committee for effective distribution to the prisoners of such
supplies.   ,
"Negotiations looking toward sending a shipload of food, clothing:, and
medical supplies and other needed
articles, were begun by the American
Red Cross and agencies of the United

However, Mrs. Tibbils, was the
youngest war mother until'Pvt. Manee
entered the service of the armed
forces last July 6th, and still holds the
title in this Community of being the
youngest mother at the time her son
entered the service, her Son, Robert,
having been in the service since April
8, 1941, when Mrs. Tibbils was thirty-
eight. She is also thought to be the

A. C. A, Chairman Robt Kleiner
Discusses Surplus Wheat Problem
and Possibilities of Solution
No. 1 problem, of course, is what to
do with the new crop." Usual storage
space is virtually filled with a year's
supply of old wheat. Considerable
new storage has been constructed, but
not enough to take care of the new
crop. Farmers of Texas, Oklahoma,
and Kansas have been piling new
wheat on the ground. Farmers of
other states are piling wheat on- the
ground, also, as the harvest moves
northward. This wheat needs to find
cover by fall.
No, 2 problem is lack of markets.
If wheat could be shipped overseas, as
was done in 1917-18, the tight storage
situation could be relieved. But the
Allies need concentrated foods (dried
milk, dried eggs, and meats) more
than they need bulky wheatj .and no
wheat can be exported under present
emergency conditions. However,
•wheat can be turned into these foods
by feeding it to livestock. Considerably mo,re wheat than usual.needs to
be fed. and this will help the storage
situation some.
It is anticipated that sizable
amounts can be converted into industrial alcohol, which also' will help.
But neither can be expected to fully
take care of the surplus. The wheat
embargo which went into effect on
July 22—-Providing that every bushel
must have a place to go before railroads can accept it--dramatizes the
serious situation.
