"Every organization in the county,

Henry Doll, president of the Clare Rod

This isn't something of interest only
to sportsmen. It should affect everyone. We are not talking alone about
hunting and fishing. We are talking
about wise use of all of our resources

WOMEN GOLFERS
ANNUAL BANQUET
HELD WEDNESDAY
Mrs. Sam Garfield Elected
President of Club for
Coming Year
The annual banquet of the Clare
Women's Golf Club was held Wednesday evening at Twin Elms with nineteen women present.
Mrs.- E. A. Anderson, president,
called the business meeting to order
for election of officers.
The new officers are: Mrs. Sam
Garfield, president; Mrs. Leo Hampton, Sports' chairman; Mrs. Will
Bowler, re-elected treasurer; Mrs. N.
A. Elden and Mrs. J. It. Naumes,
Handicap committee.
The trophies and prizes were awarded to the winners. '
Miss Frances Anderson, the new
club champion, received the Jennie
Bowler trophy. Mrs. E. A. Anderson,
as runner-up, received a prize.
Mrs. Sam Garfield was the winner
in the consolation match and also won
the handicap trophy, with Miss Anderson as runner up. They were presented prizes.
Winners in the flights were: First
flight Mrs. N. A. Elden, runner-up Mrs.
Will Bowler; second flight, Mrs. Nellie
Hampton, runner-up Mrs. Jesse Hampton. Mrs. Will Bowler received the
prize as the. winner in the "Round
contest.
punt.
most successful of which saw Ryan
sprint twelve yards, the ball was
moved to the Crimson's 15 yard line.
Cappaert then circled left end and
went over for the touchdown. Cappaert converted.
In the second quarter the Pioneers
once more scared on a two yard line
plunge by Cappaert. He also converted this one. As the half came to a
close, St. Louis counted on a ten yard
pass from Bush to Beard. The try
for the extra point failed.
The third quarter saw St. Louis
drive to the Pioneer 32 yard marker
on a series of three first downs, but
here Clare buckled down and took the
ball on downs. Cappaert then, on
Clare's first offensive play of the half,-
hit the line, spun and tore through the
Crimson's defense, and "carried the
mail" sixty-eight yards for the
Pioneer's third touchdown. He once
more converted.
In the last period, the Pioneers once
more scored when Dean Manee ran
fifteen yards on a reverse from Bernard Wyman. Cappaert's accurate toe
accounted for the extra point.
By virtue of the win, Casper will remain in Clare's green pastures, unchallenged until the basketball season.
The Pioneer's agressive line has
given splendid support to the hack-
field thus far this season, blocking
effectively and forming splendid interference for the ball carrier. The success of the team is due in no small
measure to the coordination of the
entire team in carrying the pigskin
flcmv -t-hel'- opponents goal lines and
Carl Cappaert has established quite a
record in kicking successfully ten
times in twelve attempts for point
after touchdown.
The high school band added much
spirit to the occasions in its appearance at the games and demonstrations
between halves.
The Pioneers will go to Reed City
this evening to meet a determined
eleven which will be out to avenge
last year's -19-0 defeat at the hands
of the locals; and will meet Shepherd
on the Clare gridiron next Friday
evening, with both teams attempting
to break up last year's deadlock of a
6-6 tie.
The band is not expected to make
the trip to Reed City but all fans who
can go along and support Clare's winning team are urged to be there this
evening.

It's a rustic bridge at 'Concord,

Declaration of Policy Adopted
By Republican Members of House
of Representatives Sept. 22nd
The Nation's war effort must continue unabated until complete, decisive
victory is achieved for the United
States and our allies. We shall continue to demand efficient and unrelenting prosecution of the war on the
battlefronts of the world and in the
home fields of production and delivery of machines, munitions and
supplies of war. We must unfailingly
provide our own armed forces and
those of our Allies with all necessary
implements, munitions and supplies,
in ample quantities, in time, .where
needed. We will uncompromisingly
put aside every influence, interest,
consideration and activity which in
any way interferes with these objec-
tiveSr
II
We oppose any attempts to nego-
tiate% peaee or the consideration of any
peace terms until our arms have won
such a decisive victory that we, to-
'gether with our Allies, are able to
dictate the peace terms. Freedom is
at stake. It permits no compromise
or appeasement. The Axis' dictators
must be vanquished.
Ill
We recognize that the United States
has an obligation and responsibility
to work with other nations to bring
about a world understanding and cooperative spirit which will have for its
supreme objective the continued maintenance of peace. In' so doing, we
must not endanger our own independence, weaken dtir American way of
lif, or our system of government.
IV
Victory and security transcend all
other considerations, We demand full
and immediate ' utilization by the
President of the most capable and
efficient military and civilian leader;
ship. Mistakes, blunders and incompe-
•tence fall upon all alike. Added tears
and unnecessary taxes are the wages
of waste and inefficiency, The patriotism and sacrifice of the people must
be matched by the selection of the
most capable and best trained leaders
in America regardless of party, group,
class or section. We pledge as the
people's representatives in Congress a,
constant and continued vigilance to
eliminate waste and inefticieticy.

guus in a bedroom and discarded the
broomsticks they had been, using and
acquired the guns for their .play.
When Mrs. Rhodes noticed the children were playing with the guns, she
told them to put them back in the bed-,
room, and as Dorothy turned around,
taking a .22 rifle from her shoulder
the rifle was accidentally discharged,-
with the .22 long bullet striking Eichhorn in the left eye and piercing his.

slows collections and transportation.
Although newspapers have been
assisting in previous scrap campaigns,
the press agreed on the present all-out
campaign following a conference at,
Washington, when Donald M. Nelson, j
WPB chief, outlined the critical situ- i
ation of the war production effort
because of the shortage of scrap metal.
It was felt that previous efforts at
collecting scrap failed to produce
enough material, because the public
lacked authentic information.
Newspapers have accepted the responsibility of the present campaign.
In Grand Rapids recently members of
the Michigan League of Home Dailies
joined' the metropolitan and larger
city dailies in the campaign, after
devoting an entire session to the subject. Michigan weekly publishers are
already devoting editorial aud news
columns to the campaign.
Heading the special newspaper committee are W. S. Gilmore, editor of the
Detroit News, and Schuyler Marshall,
publisher of the Clinton County Republican-News, who represent the
daily and weekly newspapers on the
Committee on Public Information of
the Michigan Council of Defense.

Complaints have been made to The

streets, alleys and driveways; damaging the shrubbery around public
buildings; and breaking Windows with
airguns.
Broken glass in any place frequented by automobiles and trucks is a
serious threat to the war effort and
car owners because of the shortage of
rubber and rationing pf tires; and the
destruction of any property will cause
the expenditure of money that might
otherwise be used to purchase War
Bonds or Stamps.
Let's all be careful about these
things and if glass is broken by accident, whether by child or adult, let's
be sure to pick it all Up and put it

CLASSES ASSIST WITH
HYBRID CORN HARVEST
Samples of Corn to Be Shown
at Community Fair in.
November
The Farm Crops and Farm Management classes of Clare High School
assisted the County Agricultural
Agent, Paul D. Gibson, in harvesting
hybrid corn on the Lowell Penrose '
farm on- Wednesday. There were ten
varieties in the test to determine their
value to the area. ""
The corn was weighed and samples
taken on which to run a moisture
test. When this is done, considerable
can be reported as to their local
adaption. The casual inspection today
indicated that the following varieties
have real merit for this territory:
For grain—Michigan 41B; Golden
Glow; Kingscrost E 3.
For silage—Ohio M 15; Kingscrost
K. S (2); Kingscrost D 4. '
An effort will be made to have
samples of this corn at the Clare
Community Fair—November 4 and 5.

In accordance with President
Roosevelt's Fire Prevention Week
proclamation, the Clare County Council of Defense will participate in the
activities planned here for this Week,
which begins October 4, and continues
through October lp.
' The TJ. S. Office of Civilian Defense
is actively cooperating with Federal
and State Forest Services, - the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, the National Fire Protection
Association, the National Bc-ard of
Fire Underwriters, and other national
organizations in making Fire Prevention Week an occasion that will help
reduce the nation's enormous annual
fire wastes.
Members of the OCD," though especially concerned with fire of enemy
origin, recognize that fire from any
cause hurts our production capacity
and helps the Axis. They are.
therefore, giving their whole-hearted
support to the Forest Fire Fighters
Service, now' being organized in cooperation with . the Departments of
Agriculture and'Interior, and to other
fire prevention activities in this community.
Fire Prevention Week is a long
established. event that has a new
meaning this year. Every resource
must be devoted to fhe winning of the
war, and fires that destroy live3 and
materials needed for ships, tanks, and
planes must be prevented in order to
ensure Victory. All public and private
organizations, according to the Director, should follow the counsel of the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce and join
in an intensive effort to eliminate fire
hazards and perfect fire protection.
• The fire risk increases ^greatly • at"
this time when heating plants are put
into operation and all waste material,-
especially that of an- inflammable
naturey should be removed from the'
premises of homes, business places*

Scoring once in every quarter, the Pioneers gained, their second success of the current grid season; this one a 28 to 6 win over the Crimson Tide of St. Louis last Friday evening.

"Every organization in the county, meeting during that week, should devote its program to conservation" Henry Doll, president of the Clare Rod and Gun Club, said today. This isn't something of interest only to sportsmen. It should affect everyone. We are not talking alone about hunting and fishing. We are talking about wise use of all of our resources now so essential in our war effort. There isn't a man, woman, or child in this county who should not be made Robin WOMEN GOLFERS ANNUAL BANQUET HELD WEDNESDAY Mrs. Sam Garfield Elected President of Club for Coming Year The annual banquet of the Clare Women's Golf Club was held Wednesday evening at Twin Elms with nineteen women present. Mrs.- E. A. Anderson, president, called the business meeting to order for election of officers. The new officers are: Mrs. Sam Garfield, president; Mrs. Leo Hampton, Sports' chairman; Mrs. Will Bowler, re-elected treasurer; Mrs. N. A. Elden and Mrs. J. It. Naumes, Handicap committee. The trophies and prizes were awarded to the winners. ' Miss Frances Anderson, the new club champion, received the Jennie Bowler trophy. Mrs. E. A. Anderson, as runner-up, received a prize. Mrs. Sam Garfield was the winner in the consolation match and also won the handicap trophy, with Miss Anderson as runner up. They were presented prizes. Winners in the flights were: First flight Mrs. N. A. Elden, runner-up Mrs. Will Bowler; second flight, Mrs. Nellie Hampton, runner-up Mrs. Jesse Hampton. Mrs. Will Bowler received the prize as the. winner in the "Round contest. punt. most successful of which saw Ryan sprint twelve yards, the ball was moved to the Crimson's 15 yard line. Cappaert then circled left end and went over for the touchdown. Cappaert converted. In the second quarter the Pioneers once more scared on a two yard line plunge by Cappaert. He also converted this one. As the half came to a close, St. Louis counted on a ten yard pass from Bush to Beard. The try for the extra point failed. The third quarter saw St. Louis drive to the Pioneer 32 yard marker on a series of three first downs, but here Clare buckled down and took the ball on downs. Cappaert then, on Clare's first offensive play of the half,- hit the line, spun and tore through the Crimson's defense, and "carried the mail" sixty-eight yards for the Pioneer's third touchdown. He once more converted. In the last period, the Pioneers once more scored when Dean Manee ran fifteen yards on a reverse from Bernard Wyman. Cappaert's accurate toe accounted for the extra point. By virtue of the win, Casper will remain in Clare's green pastures, unchallenged until the basketball season. The Pioneer's agressive line has given splendid support to the hack- field thus far this season, blocking effectively and forming splendid interference for the ball carrier. The success of the team is due in no small measure to the coordination of the entire team in carrying the pigskin flcmv -t-hel'- opponents goal lines and Carl Cappaert has established quite a record in kicking successfully ten times in twelve attempts for point after touchdown. The high school band added much spirit to the occasions in its appearance at the games and demonstrations between halves. The Pioneers will go to Reed City this evening to meet a determined eleven which will be out to avenge last year's -19-0 defeat at the hands of the locals; and will meet Shepherd on the Clare gridiron next Friday evening, with both teams attempting to break up last year's deadlock of a 6-6 tie. The band is not expected to make the trip to Reed City but all fans who can go along and support Clare's winning team are urged to be there this evening. It's a clipper in the bay, It's a rustic bridge at 'Concord, It's a soldier lad away, It's a country's shining glory. It's red, white and heaven's blue, It's an emblem and a beacon, It's the banner of the true. It's the prairie and the forest, It's the hunter's lonely camp, It's a homestead on a hilltop, It's a housewife's evening lamp, It's the joy of good companions, It's a pleasant evening's end, It's the happiness of children, It's the handclasp of a friend, It's the magic of the mountains, It's the rivers and the sea, It's tolerance and courage, It's a people brave and free. It's the kindly deeds of neighbors, It's forgetting race.and creed, It's the good works done together, It's a hand for one In need; It's a lookout's lonely vigil, It's a worker at his trade, Tt's a haven for the outcast, It's a stout heart undismayed, It's the sunlight and the starlight, It's the rainbow in the skies, It's humanity triumphant, It's the grandest flag that flies. —JOE COLTON.

Declaration of Policy Adopted By Republican Members of House of Representatives Sept. 22nd The Nation's war effort must continue unabated until complete, decisive victory is achieved for the United States and our allies. We shall continue to demand efficient and unrelenting prosecution of the war on the battlefronts of the world and in the home fields of production and delivery of machines, munitions and supplies of war. We must unfailingly provide our own armed forces and those of our Allies with all necessary implements, munitions and supplies, in ample quantities, in time, .where needed. We will uncompromisingly put aside every influence, interest, consideration and activity which in any way interferes with these objec- tiveSr II We oppose any attempts to nego- tiate% peaee or the consideration of any peace terms until our arms have won such a decisive victory that we, to- 'gether with our Allies, are able to dictate the peace terms. Freedom is at stake. It permits no compromise or appeasement. The Axis' dictators must be vanquished. Ill We recognize that the United States has an obligation and responsibility to work with other nations to bring about a world understanding and cooperative spirit which will have for its supreme objective the continued maintenance of peace. In' so doing, we must not endanger our own independence, weaken dtir American way of lif, or our system of government. IV Victory and security transcend all other considerations, We demand full and immediate ' utilization by the President of the most capable and efficient military and civilian leader; ship. Mistakes, blunders and incompe- •tence fall upon all alike. Added tears and unnecessary taxes are the wages of waste and inefficiency, The patriotism and sacrifice of the people must be matched by the selection of the most capable and best trained leaders in America regardless of party, group, class or section. We pledge as the people's representatives in Congress a, constant and continued vigilance to eliminate waste and inefticieticy.

'year old daughter, Dorothy, fatally shot Mrs, Rhodes' brother, thirty-two year old Alva Lawrence Eichhorn, of Farwell. • ..-■,■ Dorothy had been playing soldier With other children at the Rhodes home when they came upon some - guus in a bedroom and discarded the broomsticks they had been, using and acquired the guns for their .play. When Mrs. Rhodes noticed the children were playing with the guns, she told them to put them back in the bed-, room, and as Dorothy turned around, taking a .22 rifle from her shoulder the rifle was accidentally discharged,- with the .22 long bullet striking Eichhorn in the left eye and piercing his. brain. He was standing only about three feet from the little girl when the I accident occurred.

The intensive newspaper drive for scrap begins October 5th and will continue through October 17. Every newspaper in Michigan is participating in the effort to get scrap metal re: serves to the mills before cold weather slows collections and transportation. Although newspapers have been assisting in previous scrap campaigns, the press agreed on the present all-out campaign following a conference at, Washington, when Donald M. Nelson, j WPB chief, outlined the critical situ- i ation of the war production effort because of the shortage of scrap metal. It was felt that previous efforts at collecting scrap failed to produce enough material, because the public lacked authentic information. Newspapers have accepted the responsibility of the present campaign. In Grand Rapids recently members of the Michigan League of Home Dailies joined' the metropolitan and larger city dailies in the campaign, after devoting an entire session to the subject. Michigan weekly publishers are already devoting editorial aud news columns to the campaign. Heading the special newspaper committee are W. S. Gilmore, editor of the Detroit News, and Schuyler Marshall, publisher of the Clinton County Republican-News, who represent the daily and weekly newspapers on the Committee on Public Information of the Michigan Council of Defense. Working in close cooperation with the Michigan Council of Defense, state newspapers have formulated a campaign of information. which will give the public the stark picture of the (Continued on Page Four) At, the age of nine years he moved to Michigan with his father, mother, Tiiste.ll, andV five brothers", traveling with horses and wagon, with t\/o other families, to-the village of Baxter* They lived there about two years, then moving to Mesick, where "they lived seven years before moving to (Continued on Page Five) Young America!

Broken glass in any place frequented by automobiles and trucks is a serious threat to the war effort and car owners because of the shortage of rubber and rationing pf tires; and the destruction of any property will cause the expenditure of money that might otherwise be used to purchase War Bonds or Stamps.

CLARE AGRICULTURAL CLASSES ASSIST WITH HYBRID CORN HARVEST Samples of Corn to Be Shown at Community Fair in. November The Farm Crops and Farm Management classes of Clare High School assisted the County Agricultural Agent, Paul D. Gibson, in harvesting hybrid corn on the Lowell Penrose ' farm on- Wednesday. There were ten varieties in the test to determine their value to the area. "" The corn was weighed and samples taken on which to run a moisture test. When this is done, considerable can be reported as to their local adaption. The casual inspection today indicated that the following varieties have real merit for this territory: For grain—Michigan 41B; Golden Glow; Kingscrost E 3. For silage—Ohio M 15; Kingscrost K.

' The TJ. S. Office of Civilian Defense is actively cooperating with Federal and State Forest Services, - the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the National Fire Protection Association, the National Bc-ard of Fire Underwriters, and other national organizations in making Fire Prevention Week an occasion that will help reduce the nation's enormous annual fire wastes. Members of the OCD" though especially concerned with fire of enemy origin, recognize that fire from any cause hurts our production capacity and helps the Axis. They are. therefore, giving their whole-hearted support to the Forest Fire Fighters Service, now' being organized in cooperation with . the Departments of Agriculture and'Interior, and to other fire prevention activities in this community. Fire Prevention Week is a long established. event that has a new meaning this year. Every resource must be devoted to fhe winning of the war, and fires that destroy live3 and materials needed for ships, tanks, and planes must be prevented in order to ensure Victory. All public and private organizations, according to the Director, should follow the counsel of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and join in an intensive effort to eliminate fire hazards and perfect fire protection. • The fire risk increases ^greatly • at" this time when heating plants are put into operation and all waste material,- especially that of an- inflammable naturey should be removed from the' premises of homes, business places* and public buildings. • - It is also of vital importance' that we 'should be particularly careful, df' fires and lighted matches in wooded! areas and open wildlife cover as witb the demand for then for the armed. forces making inroads into the per*,, sonnel of the Conservation Department, state and local conservation (Continued' on Page Fiv«) |
