MISS THEDA WELCH
PASSES TO GREAT
SEYOND SATURDAY
s
Bad Spent Seventeen Years
of Active Life in
This City
Miss Theda Welch was born June
11th, 1887, near Sickles, in Gratiot
county, Michigan, aud passed from
this life on March 27th, 1943, following.
an illness of three weeks,
Following the death of her mother,
Miss Welch came to, lire in the home
of her sister, Mrs. Mable Mulder, and
has made her .home in Clare for the
past seventeen years, except for several years spent in the Caro Hospital,
Caro, Michigan.
In the days of early girlhood the
deceased gave her life to the Saviour
and publicly confessed her faith by
uniting with the Methodist Chuvch.
Her vows were sacred to her and she
remained true to them all her life. She
was a member of the Clare Women's
Auxiliary and carried her full share
in the work of the society.
Miss Welch was talented in music
and was of splendid service to her
church at the organ and piano. She
also had a sweet alto voice and sang
in the choir when she was not needed
to play the organ. Her nimble fingers
• were highly practiced in the delicate
art of needlecraft and her work hejped
her to work out the artistic gifts with
which she was richly endowed. Her
needle or shuttle were seldom idle and
the lovely and delicate designs workea
out were always a delight to friends.
This good woman led a very quiet
life but always treasured her friends
and their expressions of love and interest, Every letter, card, or gift
from friends was sacredly kept. From
the age of eleven she kept a diary of
her life in which are recorded many
little items which reveal thoughts and
desires that never found any1 other
outlet or expression.
Left to mourn her going, besides the
one sister and her family, is one
brother, Irving, and family, of Wilmington, California. There are also
twelve nieces and nephews and many
dear trlends in.both Clare and Ithaca.
Funeral services _wer_ held front the-

o'clock Tuesday morning, Dr. John H.
Hall officiating, with commitment

Gaylord, and a niece, Mrs. Tom
Demarest, and her husband and children, of Lansing, attended the funeral
services. Many friends from Sickles
and Ithaca gathered at the cemetery
to pay their last respects.

CLARE COUNTY
HEALTH GROUP
MEETSJHAR. 25
School Hot Lunch Program
Principal Topic of
Discussion
The biggest Fox hunt in history is
on in North Africa. The British' 8th
Amry has routed old Fox Rommel out
of his den in the Mareth line and the
American troops are closing ln'on the
rear. It is the beginning of the end of
the wily old rascal.
But where does the American farmer fit into this picture? , The scrap
metal he sent to the mills last summer
have blossomed out as the most
deadly machinery old Fox Rommel or
any one else ever faced. We have just
got around to getting enough of it to
Africa, After five months of bluffing
with little more than a handful of
equipment, the American troops (and
don't forget there are plenty of them
from Michigan and Clare county
farms) now have what it talces. Old
Fox Rommel has started his last run
in Africa. It was the thousands of
tons of old farm equipment that went
into the melting pot that helped put
the bite in old Fox Rommel.
The best grades of steel are made
from a mixture of 50% scrap and 50%
pig iron. Farm scrap is made of good
grades of heavy steel and makes the
choice grades of material when blended with pig iron for reuse as war
equipment.
Another angle farmers must not forget is that much more steel will be
allocated for farm implements than
originally planned which will make it
all the more urgent- that we get out
the scrap now on the farms. .If we
had all the scrap on Michigan farms
dumped in the Great Lakes Steel mill
yard tomorrow morning, all 45,000
tons of it, and no other scrap metal in
sight, we would, have just enough to
keep the Great Lakes Steel mill going
for TWO DAYS,
Think.Jt^ aylr you folks who have
'scrap- m*etal around your premises and
are doing nothing about it. Those boys
in Africa are giving lots of blood.

ROBERT WHITLOCK
DEPARTS THUS LIFE
AT BROTHER'S HOME
Funeral Services Held Wednesday Afternoon From
Church of God
Robert Whitlock, 65, of Clare, passed
from this life Sunday evening at 6:30
o'clock, at the home of his brother,
Charles Whitlock. He had been in
failing health for some time, but was
taken suddenly ill Sunday morning.
"Bob" as he was well known by his
many friends, was born March 9, 1878,
at Dover and has resided in Clare
county all of his life. He conducted a
cider mill at Dover for several years,
where he made many friends.
The' last eight winters he spent in
Clare at the home of his brother, Chas.
He is servived by two brothers,
Chas,, of Clare, and Will, of Traverse
City. During his serious illness he
was very patient and considerate, very
grateful for all the kindness and
everything that was done for him.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock from the
Church of God, Rev. Leah Garchow
officiating, ^tmd interment made in
Cherry Grove Cemetery.
Those attending the services from
out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Wm,
Whitlock and daughter, Alma, of
Traverse City; Mr. and Mrs, Alford
Whitlock and family, of Ann Arbor;
and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harrington.
_ind Mrs, Glen Harrington, of Bay City.
The third meeting of the Clare county
Public Health Committee was held in
the Courtroom at Harrison on March
25th. Thirteen women were present.
The meeting was called to order by
the chairman, Mrs. Hudson Jones. The
secretary's report was read and approved.
Miss Hautau, State Nutritionist, was
present and talked informally to the
group. The fact that the WPA cooks
are no longer available for hot lunch
programs, and that surplus commodities will not be distributed for school
lunches brings a new problem to the
people of each community. Miss
Hautau stressed the fact that people
of the community should work together in solving the problem of hot
lunches for next year, and told of present plans for establishing canning
centers in the schools with pressure
cookers furnished by the government
and a program of supervision carried
on for those who wish to can. Schools
interested in such a program should
contact Mr. Bailey of the Department
of Vocational Education at Lansing,
Miss Hautau had prepared a very
interesting and educational set of
charts showing very graphically the
food elements contained in the things
we eat. Substitutes for foods that
are now scarce or unobtainable were
mentioned.
The time and place .of the next
meeting of the Public Health Committee will depend upon the condition of
the roads, and will be announced at a
later date.

Retailers of Michigan will unite in
April to break all their previous records in selling War bonds and stamp:;
to customers, according ,to announcement made today by Leo Russell, local
chairman for the Michigan Retailers
War Savings Committed.
"Beginning April 12, and continuing
through the rest of the month, th.
temporary United States Treasury
War Finance Committee, of which our
own organization will be a vital part,
will stage the biggest drive ever
launched to sell war securities. Thirteen billion dollars is the goal to be
achieved in those three weeks. AH
types of war bonds issued by the
Treasury are included—series E, F
and G, and Victory Bonds.
"We in the retail business welcome
this chance to participate in such an
important war assignment, and we intend to do everything within our
power to see that every customer has
an opportunity to participate in the
purchase of more War bonds in April.
Our aim is to at least double the
normal quota given us for that month,
and with the whole-hearted support of
all retail establishments and retail
people, we can do it.
"Normal April quota for retailers of
Michigan is $6,132,200, so we are out
to sell more than twelve million dollars worth of War bonds and stamps
through retail stores next mgnth. This
would almost double the. biggest
month Michigan retailers have had to
date.
"We expect a large number of retail
employees to enlist in the. 'Gallant
60,00*0 of Michigan' group, each member of which will pledge to sell at least
?1000 worth of series E War bonds by
April 30. Retail people have the sales
experience and the contacts with
many people, which make them especially effective for this particular
patriotic assignment," concluded Mr.
Russell.
