SON TONIGHT
Beaverton jHigh Coming as
Traditional First
Game Rivals
A formidable starting -line-up will
take to the field when the Pioneers
open their 1942 football season on. the
local high school gridiron at 8:16
o'clock this evening with, their traditional "first nighter" rivals, Beaverton
High School, protecting the opposite
goal line. i-
A number of regulars are back this
year and will see service in the opeiv
ing game. Coach Leo Brown has neen
putting his boys through the paces
and several of the lads will bear
"watching this season. The probable
line-up for this evening's encounter
follows: Left end, Dean Manee; left
tackle, Art Clute; left guard, Henry
Eberhart; center, Tony Burdo; right
guard, Jack Tice; right tackle, Bill
Archambault; right end, Wes Sam-
horn; quarterback, Bernard Wyman;
left halfback, Jim Ryan; right halfback, Larry Foss; fullback, Carl
Cappaert.
These boys all played regular positions on last year's green and white
eleven, with the expection of Burdo,
Archambault and Foss, who won, their
"K" a year ago and who ai«e expected
to make a good showing in regular
berths this season.
Letter man Bill Case, who is outj
temporarily with .a had knee, will see
action soon as end or guard; .and regular Paul Creguer, who played guard
last season, is expected back in the
line-up by next week.
Last year's reserves, James 'Chapman, Harvey Hortshora, Bob Ackerman, Bill Hawkins, and Douglas Mas-
ten are back on the .oh amd will most
likely see plenty of action with the
regulars this year.
Coach Brown's lads promise to give
good account of themselves tMs season and although :fihe team is a little
short on "reserve timber'" ithe •greei.
ahd white, barring too many accidents,
should be a real threat for championship honors.
Band director Henry (Garen has
aro_ouncea.ihat the .Clare High School
band will make itsiftrat^ubJlciapjear-
ance of rhe season at this game. The
hand has been progressing quite satisfactorily although -working rander
difficulties in view of the fact that
there has been actually only .five days
available for rehearsals due to the late
opening of school this year.
Season tickets went on sale this
week, offering the fans a chance to
save a few War Stamps on their football budget, and at the same time see
all the home games. Let's all be out
there for the kick-off :a± .8:15 o'clock
this evening and show our boys what
real support "sounds like."

ers, as a result'of the recent drive to
get more and more vitally needed
scrap on the way to the war munitions
manufacturing plants of the nation.
In this case the "scrap pile" was not
visible because of the fact that the
scrap was loaded onto the dealers'
trucks as fast as it was weighed-in
and transported to their yards to await
shipment at the earliest possible date.
W.P.A. Scrap Collection
W.P.A. Superintendent Manuel Sutton announced here Wednesday morning that the W.P.A. scrap collection
campaign being conducted by the Federal Government was meeting with
great success.
One W.P.A. truck had been in service for nineteen days previous to
Wednesday and a second truck Avas
provided for the campaign a few days
ago. Up to Wednesday morning,
100,581 pounds of scrap had been
gathered by Mr. Sutton's crew and the
two trucks are now bringing in from
four to six tons of scrap daily, according to the amount of heavy and light
scrap collected each day.
Anyone having old fencing, farm implements, stoves, sheet metal, worthless tires or garden hose ,in fact any
metal or rubber of any type that
cannot be used, is urged to see or
phone Mr. Sutton and have the trucks
call for the scrap. A government receipt will be issued to you, and you
will receive your pay for the scrap
from the government.
The government needs the scrap
material badly to manufacture munitions of war and if you don't need the
money, you are urged to either contribute your scrap or sell it to the
government and buy War Savings
Stamps with your returns.

CITIZENS BANK
BELL PROCLAIMS
WARJJOND SALES
Each Time a Bond is Sold
Purchaser Tolls Bell
for Nazis
Instilled with the "Spirit of "76" and
prompted by the desire to stimulate
War Bond sales in this community,
The Citizens State Bank of Clare, has
initiated an original and unique means
of publicizing the sale of "War Bonds
at the bank. The local bank is the
first to use this method of announcing
the sale of bonds in Michigan, if not
the  entire middlewest.
A large bell has been installed iu
front of the bank and every time a
War Bond is sold the bell will be rung.
Although this bell is not imbued with
the historical traditions of the original
liberty bell, it has much in .common
with the bell that first heralded the
Proclamation of Independence and
will without a doubt occupy a bright
spot on the pages of the history of this
community in years to come, and do
much to encourage the sale of the
bonds which are so vitally important
to the war effort.
The officers and directors of the
local bank are to be congratulated for
their splendid efforts in promoting
the sale of War. Bonds and Stamps,
the bank already having sold $141,-
774.00 worth of War Bonds. The sale
of War Bonds by the bank is purely a
matter of patriotic service as the bank
is not reimbursed even for the expense
incurred in handling the bonds.
Go to the bank today—and each pay
day—and buy a bond if you possibly
can. It will help you keep your pledge,
help attain Clare county's War Bond
quota, and your money will be
returned to you with liberal interest.
Buy a bond and "ring the bell."
Every time it rings it will help jangle
Hitler's and Hiro Hito's nerves.
The report for sale of War Savings
Bonds for the first ten days of September has been forwarded by Donald 33.
Holbrook, Chairman of the Clara
County Committee, to Walter J. Wade,
Deputy State Administrator, at Grand
Rapids, Michigan. The report shows
that of the $29,100.00 quota set fo|* ,
Clare county for the month of Septem*
ber, $11,180.50 has already been sold<
The report further shows that .
Harrison leads the County in sale o_
Bonds for this ten day period, showing
a total sold of $6,718,00. City of Clare
is next with $3,806.25. Fai'well shows
a sale of $262.50, and Lake shows
sales of $393.75. Fanvell and Clare are
considerably short of their sales to
date, and efforts are going forward in
both Clare and Farwell by the Execu*
tive Chairman of the respective towns
to make up the loss in sales during the
balance of the month.
The Ideal Theatre, James Olson
owner, has contributed considerably
to the stimulation of Bond sales this
month, also the Citizens State Bank,
through the cooperation of Several
good citizens, has- installed a bell
which will be rung each time a Bond is
sold. May the bell ring loud and -
often.
The payroll savings plan has beefl
adopted by many of the employees of
the various companies' in and around
Clare.  At the last report, Mrs. Mulder,»
Executive Chairrnan, stated that the
following companies are  enrolled so
that they are entitled to the Minute
Man  flag  and 10%' buttons  for the*-,
employees showing that 90% of the*
employees have signed up to use at?
least 10% of their wages in the p&$'>
chase of War Savings Bonds.
