Pioneers Play
Evart Tonight in
Last Home Game
A Clare High School football team
with a clean slate ot no losses in five
encounters will face a determined
Evart grid squad at the local athletic
field this evening and will do their
utmost to avenge a drubbing received
at the hands of the Wildcats last
season.
This will be the Pioneers' last home
game because of the cancelation of the
Breckenridge game and will be our
last opportunity to see several of the
players in action on the local gridiron, as graduation will take them
from the ranks of the green and white
next June,
Let's give our winning team the
loyal support they deserve this evening and enjoy the last appearance of
the high school band on the athletic
field this season. You'll like it and so
will the youngsters. The kick-off is
"Unless move people get a lot more
serious about this scrap harvest, there
will be a famine to report on the first
of November. Attendance at organization meetings were good in the north
portions of the County and at Lake.
At Sheridan, Grant and Arthur it
looked as though it would be necessary to send our War Club leaders a
letter explaining that we have a war
on our hands. Up to the present time
we have been too late with too little
too darned often. Will the present
battle of the Solomons keep this
trend? Will our drive for scrap iron; r^e~{ 't^Zoo o'clock,
to supply our fighting forces be too
little and too late? Are we a nation
of 130 million people going to listen
to the fact that England with 40
million people is now out-producing us
in war materials. Why is it? They
don't look for a way out when given a
job, they go out and do it.
We are short of farm labor it is true
but there is a lot of scrap metal on
farms that have as much labor as
usual. We don't want an early snowfall to cover this scrap iron and prevent its delivery before another spring.
We must make it our business to get
the scrap metal on the individual
farms collected and delivered to a central point whether to a township pile
or to a dealer.
In the scrap harvest plan which has
been outlined to war club leaders, the
farmer is given until November 1st to
assemble his scrap pile and during the
first week of November he is to move
it to a township pile or to town or he
may get a dealer to move it if he has
a large enough load.
Townships which plan to have a pile
are Greenwood, Winterfield and Arthur. The idea of bringing the scrap
iron to the township pile on election
day is popular in these townships.
Weighing committees will check it in
and give weight tickets and the War
Club leaders will plan to contact dealers to dispose of the piles.

WHO WILL BUY
$5,000 WORTH OF
WAR BONDS NOW?
Turn Stamp Books in For
Bonds This Week End
To Reach Quota
Latest reports show that Clare county has not met its quota for sale of
War Bonds for the month of October,
1942. With the purchase of $5,000.00
worth of Bonds by the Clare County
Board of Supervisors, it was hoped
that Clare county might reach its
quota, however, from latest reports, it
appears that we are still approximately 56,000.00 short.
Everyone is urgehtly requested to
exert every effort the last two days of
this month in purchasing War Bonds
and turning in stamp books in the purchase of War Bonds. The home front
and the boys at the front are looking
to us to take care of our obligation to
buy Bonds with which to prosecute
the War. Let us not fail them nor
ourselves.
EIGHTH ANNUAL
COMMUNITY FAIR
AT OARE HIGH
F.F.A.and Home Ec. Club
to Present Exhibits
and Comedy
The Clare-Isabella, Agricultural Society, Home Economics Club, and the
IP, F. A. boys are sponsoring the
Annual Community Fair, which will
be held the 11th and 12th of November,
The Home Ec. Club part in the fair
will be made up of a baked goods
department, a canned good department, a clothing department, 4J3
exhibits, and summer projects exhibit.
The fair is being held a week later
this year so that it will come the same
week as American Education Week.
This will help conserve tires and gas,
and make it easier for farm parents
to attend both.
This will be one of the most important events of the school year, be-l
cause it represents the best crops of!
this year's harvest. This means quite i
a- lot for we are at war,, and food 4s a
very important necessity. It is not |
only needed for the people here, but;
for our allies who are fighting constantly to preserve our freedom and
way of life. The motto of the fair
is, "Food for Freedom."
Each class in the Home Ec. department will exhibit an interesting
project showing a phase of the work
covered during the year. The Home
Arts class has been making new curtains for the Home Ec. room while
the Home Ec. 1 girls have been fixing
over the apartment adjoining the main
room. This will be finished and open

The rationing was not brought
about by a shortage of the popular

destroyed all of his official photographs, he managed to conceal the
informal picture above, taken in the
laboratory on his large farm in Germany at the time he was rising to
fame through his experiments in
germination of seed, and bring it with
him to the United States, Misfortune
has left its mark ou Herr Prinznipp
but. he is still active in agricultural research and in great demand as a public-
speaker, ami the Chamber of Commerce was fortunate in procuring him
on one of his few Open dates. This
rare opportunity to hear Herr Prinznipp "was made possible when several
of the Clare merchants, upon being informed of the Chamber of Commerce
chance to'proeure the, speaker, came
to their financial assistance in ordei
that the community might benefit from
this expert's funds of knowledge am"
information.

This will be the Pioneers' last home game because of the cancelation of the Breckenridge game and will be our last opportunity to see several of the players in action on the local gridiron, as graduation will take them from the ranks of the green and white next June, Let's give our winning team the loyal support they deserve this evening and enjoy the last appearance of the high school band on the athletic field this season. You'll like it and so will the youngsters. The kick-off is "Unless move people get a lot more serious about this scrap harvest, there will be a famine to report on the first of November. Attendance at organization meetings were good in the north portions of the County and at Lake. At Sheridan, Grant and Arthur it looked as though it would be necessary to send our War Club leaders a letter explaining that we have a war on our hands. Up to the present time we have been too late with too little too darned often. Will the present battle of the Solomons keep this trend? Will our drive for scrap iron; r^e~{ 't^Zoo o'clock, to supply our fighting forces be too little and too late? Are we a nation of 130 million people going to listen to the fact that England with 40 million people is now out-producing us in war materials. Why is it? They don't look for a way out when given a job, they go out and do it. We are short of farm labor it is true but there is a lot of scrap metal on farms that have as much labor as usual. We don't want an early snowfall to cover this scrap iron and prevent its delivery before another spring. We must make it our business to get the scrap metal on the individual farms collected and delivered to a central point whether to a township pile or to a dealer. In the scrap harvest plan which has been outlined to war club leaders, the farmer is given until November 1st to assemble his scrap pile and during the first week of November he is to move it to a township pile or to town or he may get a dealer to move it if he has a large enough load. Townships which plan to have a pile are Greenwood, Winterfield and Arthur. The idea of bringing the scrap iron to the township pile on election day is popular in these townships. Weighing committees will check it in and give weight tickets and the War Club leaders will plan to contact dealers to dispose of the piles.

Everyone is urgehtly requested to exert every effort the last two days of this month in purchasing War Bonds and turning in stamp books in the purchase of War Bonds. The home front and the boys at the front are looking to us to take care of our obligation to buy Bonds with which to prosecute the War. Let us not fail them nor ourselves.
