EDUCATION WEEK
OBSERVED HERE
ALL NEXT WEEK
Comraunity Fair and Student Production Also
Scheduled
Designating the week of.November
8-14 as American. Education Week, the
four national agencies sponsoring the
movement'-the National Educational
Association, the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers, the American
Legion, and the U. S. Office of Education—have adopted "Education tor
Free Men" as the general theme.
Daily topics, as set up by representatives of the sponsors, serve as
predicates to the ma,in subject ov
theme,
Sunday,'November S—Renews Our
Faith.
Monday, November 9—-Serves Wartime Needs.
Tuesday, November 10 — Builds
Strong Bodies.
Wednesday, November 11—Develops
Loyal Citizens.
Thursday, November 12—Cultivates
Knowledge and Skills.
Friday, November IS—Establishes
Sturdy Character.
Saturday, November 14—Strengthens Morale for Victory,
A program of somewhat different
nature, agreed upon at a meeting in
November, 1941, was revised after the
entrance of the United States into the
•war.
The primary purpose of American
Education Week is that of setting
aside a period once each year when
the attention of the American people
may be focused upon the schools and
upon the ideals of free education for
a free people. American Education
Week by itself will not solve the problem of school-public relations, but it
has been conclusively demonstrated
that American Education Week, is
from the nationwide point of view, the
one best annual period for a concerted
effort to place tlie schools, their
achievements and their problems, before the American people^.
On Wednesday evening we are having "open _ou.se" for aU the parents,
and hoping for 100% attendance. A
teacher *_»om each department will
conduct— short lecture period, and all
teachers will be available for personal
conferences except at this titne. The
annual fair consisting of exhibits from
the various departments from the
country schools will be both Wednesday and Thursday nights. Students
from our country schools will be our
guests all day Thursday, participating
in a number of activities and contests.
They will be guests of a special
afternoon performance of the play,
"Health, Wealth and Romance." This
play is being presented by the Home
Economics and F. F. A. Clubs, under
the direction of Miss Wiggins, and will
be given for the public Thursday evening.
The premium list for the Fair,
copies of which have been distributed
throughout the community this weelc,
will be found on page twelve of this
week's Sentinel.

HERR PRINZNIPP
C OF C FARMERS
NIGHTJPEAKER
Farmers to Be  Guests of
Businessmen Next
Tuesday Night
Herr Gabrielle -Prinznipp, exiled
former Gerirtan Agricultural Commissioner, who will be the featured speaker at the Clare Chamber of Commerce
Farmers' night meeting next Tuesday
evening, is a colorful character with a
wealth of Knowledge on agricultural
topics, more especially concerning
seeds and their propagation and
germination.
Although Herr Prinznipp was not in
a position to bring military secrets
from Germany when he narrowly
escaped with his life because of his
anti Nazi beliefs, he is well informed
of Hitler's plans to dominate the world
through intensified production of food
through the research of ranking
scientists such as Herr Prinznipp and
the forced labor of women aud children, while armed men and boys
devastated the food supplies of conquered nations.
He is now devoting his time and
wealth of information gained through
his wide travels in Europe to the development and improvement of fast
growing grains for the benefit of the
United Nations in, their effort to free
the peoples of the world from the domination of the Nazis and European war
lords.
Herr Prinznipp is a tireless worker
and has consented to give an hour or
two of his valuable time to the farmers after the meeting to answer questions concerning fast growing German
millet and other European crops.
The Chamber of Commerce feels
very fortunate in being able to secure
Herr Prinznipp for this speaking
engagement on one of his rare open
dates and grateful to the businessmen
who assisted financially in making his
appeai'auce here possible.
A group of Selectice Service men
who were accepted for the armed
forces last week will be guests of
honor at this meeting and a portion of
the program will be devoted to them.
Tickets are being sold to Chamber
of Commerce members and other merchants at $2.25 and for each ticket
purchased at this price the Chamber
of Commerce will present two tickets
to farmer guests. Businessmen are
urged to procure their tickets not
later than Saturday evening so that
the C. of C. committee will know how
many .farmer guests to furnish tickets
to. Service men's tickets will be provided by the Service Men's Club
through the courtesy of the Board of
Supervisors.
Each businessman in the city will be
given an opportunity to purchase a
ticket for himself and provide tickets
for two farmers for this treat of a
life time, and the merchants should
hot hesitate about purchasing their
tickets at once as every indication
ppints toward a sell-out. Reserve your
tickets now'and be at the social parlors at St. Cecilia's church at 7:00
o'clock Tuesday evening to enjoy being host at one' meal for* the farmers
who are providing the "Food for Freedom" for our nation and their allies.

COUNTY REACHES
OCTOBER GOAL OF
WAR BOND SALES
$5,000 Purchase by Board
of Supervisors Helps
Meet Quota
As we look back over the years we can see again .the marching
feet of the legions of another war as the flower of young American
•manhood left for the battle fronts of that conflict. Minor details
may have changed, but the ache in the hearts of loved ones, the valor
of our youth, and the determination of all that this world shall be free
of the threat of tyrants, is unchanged.
And then in the early hours of November 11th, 191S, the shackles
of war were cast aside and "Johnny Came Marching Home." Many
were sacrificed on the altar of liberty in that war," as in this, and
Armistice Day in its deepest meaning is for them; but let us hope
and pray, toil ceaselessly and give cheerfully of our wealth, though
great or small, that the bells aud whistles of our nation may soon
herald a victorious termination of this conflict, and the dawn of a
morrowof peace and freedom for the nations of the world.

Report for October shows that Clare
county has again gone over the top in

RED CROSS ROLL
CALL POSTPONED
UNTILJEXT MAR.
Organization is Taking No
Part in Joint Fund-
Raising
As previously announced, the Red
Cross Roll Call of November, 1942, has
been postponed to be conducted in
connection with the next War Fund
Campaign early in 1943.. Largely because of the generous response of the
people, the $50,000,000 War Fund was
oversubscribed by $20,000,000 last
winter. This makes an appeal for
additional funds unnecessary until
next March, the month designated by
President Roosevelt as "Red Cross
Month," at which time a combined
Roll Call and War Fund appeal will be
conducted."
The Red Cross is taking no part in;
joint fund-raising campaigns of other
groups. It is agreed that the meeting
of Red Cross obligations requires a
direct appeal in its own name to the
people that the character of the Red
Cross and its responsibilities under
International Treaty and its Congressional Charter are such that the
national interests will be best served
if the Red Cross maintains direct contact with the people for membership
and support
The amount which will be required
for the national and international
work for the period to be covered by.
the next campaign will be determined
on the basis of actual operations during the intervening months. All funds
received by each chapter Will be divided between the national organization and the chapter in the ratio that
their approved budgets bear to the
total, announced chapter goal. For example, if- a chapter has a national
qtiota of $10,000 and a local goal ot
$5,060, two-thirds of all funds received
by that'ehapter will be allocated to the
national organization and one-third to
the chapter. All contributions applicable to the PIM3: Roll Call will be
divided on this basisr   -
Bell Telephone
Pays $101371
of Primary Fund
The Primary School Fund was
boosted by another $1,691,371.65 today
as the Michigan Bell Telehone Company made the second-half payment on
its state property tax for the year
1941.
A check for the first-half payment
i of the $3,382,743 tax was turned over
I to the state June 30th. The total is
j the largest payment into the Primary
School Fund, which is allocated to
i Michigan's public schools on the basis

Fort Wayne, Indiana, newspapers
have given considerable space recently to a "bear story" that terminated
here in Clare county.
Quoting from these newspapers—
"'tis narrated in song and story that
the canine is not cricket which masticates on the digits of the master who
provides the daily victuals. But what
of the bruin who bites the hand of the
man, practically his buddy, who has
been feeding Kim ?
"George Rembusch, 26, traded a
truck some weeks ago to a motor
shows attendant for two bears, on the
premise that he could make^some coin
by exhibiting his ursine charges. He
found the bear market, or that portion
ef it interested in viewing bears, decidedly not bullish.
"Whereupon he also found that the
police and health departments were
importuning him to do something
about his pets.
They ate too much, they, smelled
funny and no one wanted them; and
the police department decided they
were a menace to tlie community.    ,
"Ever since the police department
ordered the bears taken out of the
city, Humane Officer Wilfred Goss has
been casting about for some bear fancier 'to take them in. He finally located a likely customer in. the Spike-
horn bear den at Harrison, Michigan.
- "Sergt. Ward Hall and several men
from the police traffic department
helped load the local pair on a Wabash
train. Goss and a crew from the
station lent a hand at the depot but
the train got away twenty-five minutes late due to the buikiness of the
cage and the unusual loading problem
it entailed,
"Rembusch got nothing out of the;
whole bear venture but an injured
hand and hospital bill. While heaving:
the cage containing his double-troubles
twins into a boxcar, one of the pair
bit the hand that has been feeding-
them these many weeks. So over
wrought was one of the bears that he
bit through a heavy leather glove Rem- .
busch was wearirig, pushing bits ot
leather into the flesh next to the bone.
Attendants at, St. Joseph's hospital1,
picked numerous bits of leather from,
the Rembusch digits. Had it not been*
for the glove he might have lost a fin>
ger at that, attaches said.
"The bears, however, have enjoyed!
themselves immensely. According to •
Goss, they still have some extraordinary fun to look forward to. After
the ^Wabash, drops them at Clare, they
will ride twelve miles over an oxen
trail before taking up their new haunt
with the eighty-four year old propriev-
tor of the bear den."
The bruins arrived at the Railway*"
express office in Clare, Thursday, and-
have been taken over the "oxen trail,V"r
concrete paved US-27,.to the bear den,-,
and we* will wager that. wh$n • Spike-•
horn talks to them in a language, that:
only he and the bears can.nnderstand, *
they will not bite him..
We are sure that the residents of.'
this vicinity would welcome the'Fort:
Wayne folks at any time they would!
like to visit us in "the wilds of Michigan," and that someone would show
them around the "oxen trails" ot the,
city of Clare. - .
