DETROITER BADLY
SHOCKED WHEN CAR
SNAPS POWER LINE
Breaking of Pole Lets 11,000
Volt Line Drop to
Pavement
One of the most serious accidents of
ithe year took place in Harrison Friday morning, August 21st, at 1:30
o'clock when an auto driven by Denver C. Yeager, of Gladwin, left the
pavement at the elevator corner, on
US-27, and sheared off an electric
power pole, plunging Harrison into
darkness in an unscheduled blackout.
The power line, carrying eleven
thousand volts to Harrison and the
northern farm district, snapped and
shot electricity into the air, illuminating the entire city. At the request of
Sheriff Seaver Amble, Leo Skinner, of
Harrison, called Consumers Power
Company Manager C. A. Wellman at
his home in Clare, at 2:20 o'clock,
and notified him of the accident ancl
the power running to Harrison was
cut off at once.
In spite of the fact that Sheriff
Amble persistently warned the huge
crowd that gathered at the scene of
the accident that the wires laying on
the pavement were live wires of
heavy voltage, several moved about on
the pavement crossing the wires.
Harry Townsend, of 1255 Murray
Street, Eastrum, near Detroit, came
in contact with one of the live wires,
brushing against it with his face,
and was thrown to the pavement by
the shock of the electricity. He lay
about six feet from the live wires for
several seconds, when he was rescued,

St. Henry's Church, Rosebush, on
US-2.7, will have an impressive ceremony at the 10:00 o'clock Mass this
Sunday, August 30th, known as the
Burning of the Loan Papers.
Ia September 1923, a loan was made
from the Rosebush State Bank to help
rebuild the church shortly after it was
destroyed by fire. In 1934, St. Henry's
bori'owed enough money from its
Mission Church, at Leaton to pay off
the balance still owing the bank, In
November 1941, half of this amount
was paid back by St. Henry's through
the proceeds of the parish cattle project which it had sponsored the previous year. This August, the debt was
entirely cleared off with the profits
of the summer picnic ■ and money
saved from a series of winter parties.
This Sunday at the close of services, the Committees of both Churches will examine the parish books and
documents, and authorize the Pastor,
Reverend Gordon Grant, to burn the
loan papers, which will be done in a
special urn in the presence of the congregation. All will then join in the
hymn of thanksgiving, "Holy God We
Praise Thy Name."
Services at St. Henry's Church'are
always open to the general public.

ld% WAR BOND
PURCHASE PLAN
SPONSORED HERE
City to Be Canvassed in Interest of Payroll Deduction Plan
Though the attendance was not as
large as hoped for at the meeting held
at the.qity hall Monday evening to
formulate^ plans and create interest in,
10% War Bond Clubs and purchase of
bonds through the payroll deduction
plan, a representative and attentive
group were present.
Local chairman Mrs. Mabel Mulder
and Art Damoth presided at the meeting and J. A. Quintal, of the Freeman
Oil Company, explained the voluutary
formation of a "Minute Man" club in
their company in which their employees are pledged 100% on the 10% payroll deduction plan.
The voluntary War Bond purchasing
plans of other local organizations
were discussed by Burke Collins, who
told of the War Savings Stamp plan
in which all the employees of Thayers' Dairy are purchasing their 10%;
Conrad walker, State Highway Department payroll deduction plan; Postmaster Frank Jackson, bond purchases by postal employees; 0. W. Lynch,
Gulf Refining Company payroll deduction, plan; Willard Bicknell, stamp
and bond purchase plan of Bicknell's
department store; and Richard
Groves, bond purchase plan, of employees of the Hotel Doherty.
Mayor Tibbils mentioned the fact
that he and Mr.' Damoth were in the
A.E.F. at the time of the bond drives
of the former World War and that he
knew little of the bond sales drives
of 1917 and 1918, but that he and all
city v employees are backing up the
present campaign and buying all the
War Savings Stamps aud Bonds they
can.
George Haring spoke in behalf of
the County Road Commission employees and Ed. White from the standpoint
of an individual 'bond purchaser.
Roy Harter, ticket agent at the Ann
Arbor and Pere Marquette union
depot, represented the railroads who
were among the very first to encourage the purchase of Defense
Bonds before the entrance of the
United States in the war and to organize 10% bond purchasing among
their employees when the plan was 'Inaugurated,
Up to this time all bond purchases
have been strictly voluntary among
the employee purchasers, but at least
one firm indicated that in the future
newly employed help would, be required to agree to the 10% purchase
plan.
Employers of the city will be canvassed in the near future to encourage
100% participation in the 10% payroll
deduction plan and all are urged to
cooperate.

LIGHTNING BOLT
KILLS GLADWIN
COUNTHARMER
William Wagner.Loses Life;
Barn and Contents
Destroyed
The second tragedy to befall a
family within a year occurred at 2:00
o'clock Saturday afternoon when lightning struck the Wagner brothers
barn one and one-half miles south and
two and one-half miles east of Beaverton and instantly killed the younger
brother, William, aged thirty-five
years, as he was standing in the doorway.
According to reports from the Midland county Sheriff's office, the Wagners were putting up hay when the
electrical storm broke, and William's
niece, Mrs. Jacob Grant, who had been
talking with him a few minutes before
the tragedy occurred, was standing
within a few feet of him when he was
struck. She called Harold Eddy, a
neighbor who was passing by, and he
assisted her ia removing her uncle
from the burning barn. He also
assisted her in getting the team out
of the barn but one horse broke loose
and ran back into the flaming build-
,ing, which burned to the ground.
A grand champion thoroughbred
Shorthorn bull which had won several
prizes, at the large livestock exhibitions, and which Mr. Wagner said he
would not have sold for $1,000, was
lost in the fire; together with ten head
of young cattle, nine Of which were
thoroughbreds; one horse and the
crops stored in the barn.
The loss, estimated at more than
$15,Q00, was covered by only $3,500
in insurance.
Sheriff Ray Cowell and Coroner
Harry Rogers, of Gladwin county,
were called and investigated the accident, but an, inquest was not
necessary.
Mr. Wagner, who operated the farm
and made his home with his brothers,
Jesse and George, was a relative of
the George Long family whom all lost
their lives when their homes burned in
that locality March 2 of this year.
He~leaves to mourn his untimely
passing, four brothers, Fred and
Stanley, of Lapeer, and George and
Jesse, of Tobacco township; two sisters, Mrs. Eva Truax, of Lapeer, and
Mrs. June Long, of Beaverton township; many other relatives and a host
ot friends.

Dale Mthodist church at 2:00 o'clock
Monday afternoon, with Rev. Paul
Robinson, pastor of the Beaverton
Methodist church, officiating, assisted
by Rev. Perry Hoover, pastor of the

IN CLAREJONDAY
Auxiliary Police  Meet at
City Hall Tuesday
Evening
A comprehensive aud interested
group of the Clare County Civilian Defense personnel and other citizens
met at the city hall at 8:00 o'clock
Monday evening to hear Senior Air
Raid Warden Raymond Kent, of Midland, tell of his experiences in recent
black-outs at Midland.
Mr, Kent explained the activities of
the men and women in his post during the recent blackout, including fire
watchers, air raid wardens, auxiliary
police, scout cars maintaining frequent contact between men on their
beats and the post headquarters, and
all other participants. Members of
the Clare county groups who witnessed
the blackout were impressed by the
seriousness, discipline and efficiency
of the Midland personnel; and the
splendid cooperation of all citizens
and transient traffic.
Mr. Kent used a map of his district
in his explanation, which clarified the
activities of his group, and urged one
hundred per cent participation and
cooperation of the people of this
community in this vital defense work.
He stated that in the future the greater portion of the Civilian Defense
work may of necessity be carried on
by women here, as in England at the
present time, and recommended that
women be encouraged to take an
active part in all phases of the work.
William Howarth, of the Michigan
Bell Telephone Company at Midland,
and the wives of the two gentlemen,
came here for the meeting, and Mr.
Howarth presented three reels of
educational and interesting sound
motion pictures, including, "Sam
Jones, Air Raid Warden"; the Red
Cross picture, "Before the Doctor
Comes;" and Western Electric's
"Telephone Arsenal." Each picture
graphically portrayed the activities
indicated by its title.

Clare County Far From August
War Bond Quota as Ninth Month
Since Entrance in War Closes
The month of August, 1942, is drawing to a close. It marks the ninth
month of our country in. the World
War II. Since May of this year, quotas
have been given out to states, counties
and municipalities by the War Savings
Staff for the United States.
In times past, our county has been
favored-to be among those that have
done their share towards the loaning
of money to our government to carry
on the war to finish. Many men from
our community and our county are
now serving in. the armed forces, and
from the reports that we are receiving
.they are not only serving their country by making up the fighting force,
but they are also loaning our government a big share of their small
income, realizing that in order for pur
country to he successful in this war
effort,, that it must, have the help and
cooperation of everyone. These .men
are at the fighting front. They realize
more than w> can ever realize, the
importance of such a program.
t We can profit by their example in
takhjjg* airmail share of the responsibility by the loaning of our money to
the nation to'which, ;,we owe so much.
The bond "sales, iu Clare county uft
until the month of August have beetf
satisfactory, some months, commend*'
able, and as we see the month oi
August nearly gone, it is with regret
that the Bond sales for Clare county
show a positive slump, and which indicates that unless the citizens of our
county go in large number to the
post offices and banks and purchase
War Savings Bonds in the last remaining few days of the montht that
our quota will not be met.
Up until.Thursday morning, the report of the various issuing agents of?
the, county show a total of §ll,$_i._5r-
in War Bonds having been sold. A-
balance of $18,968.75 must be raised*
should our county stay on the honor'
list of those counties having met their"
quota. An urgent appeal is made to1-'
each, and every person to buy a fiond'1
as large as the means of that petaott-
permits in the few remaining: days Of'
this month. ..■*!»'
