Project, played under the gracefully
poised baton of student conductor
Tommy Burdo; the march, Summitt,
featuring two little baton twirlers

close with the waltz, Norma's Dream,

The poppies this year will honor the
fien who have given their lives in the

cor War Work
On the fifth of May, 1941, just two
years ago two Selective Service
men left Clare county to join the
armed forces of our country. These
two young men, Arden Light, son of
Mr, and Mrs. Guy Light, of Riverdale,
formerly of Harrison, and Loren Miller, of Brown Comers, have been together all this time and have had some
very interesting experiences.
Their first day was spent in Fort
Wayne,''Detroit; their next three in
Camp Grant, Illinois, and from there
they went to Camp Davis, North Carolina, where they remained for several
months of intensive training in antiaircraft artillery. They didn't seem, to
talk so much about the things they did
while there but their next move was
to a camp near San Francisco, California, and here is 'where they began to
do things outside.
They write of a week's leave in
town, where they met Kent Ladd and
Bobby Burns, from Harrison, and saw
the sights together; of an evening at
the Cocoanut Grove, where things
were half price to the soldiers and the
celebrities were thick; of China Town
and chop-suey, big bridges, and grand
times.
Another time there was a three day
leave spent in far-famed Death Valley;
and now their letters are of beautiful
Hawaii and Battery I's baseball team
who are the Company's leaders.
These boys were both high school
ball players. Later Arden worked on
the Jerome Caner farm and Loren was
the caretaker for the-Detroit Zoological Society at their wildlife sanctuary
near the Ed Magnus farm between
Clare and Harrison on US-27. Loren
was one of twin sons of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Elmer Miller, of Brown Corners, and has several brothers and
sisters living in this vicinity.
Our best wishes go with these first
Clare county boys, and with all the
other Glare county boys who, have
joined the fighting forces since, to risk
.and perhaps give their lives for our
safety.

Two more sewing machines have

who are accustomed to sewing machines, hand seamstresses, and those

The Second War Loan is over and
according to published reports Michigan will lead all other states in her
per capita E Bond purchases. We
have reason, to be very proud of* the
record made in our own district of
nine Eastern Michigan counties.
With a quota of $10,090,000, the saje
of bonds as of May 5th was $15,558,000
or 150% of the qffata in our district.
District Publicity Chairman Harold T.
Slaght, of Saginaw, informs us that
this figure will be further increased
following a tabulation of late reports.
These figures will be published as
soon as released.
Natioir Over the Top
The national goal was thirteen billion dollars, but this greatest of war
financing drives put over eighteen billion dollars into the Treasury.
Such splendid cooperation in financing the war effort will bear the fruits
of less lives lost and the shortening of
the war as the funds are converted
into munitions of war for the gallant
warriers of the United Nations—the
young' men of America and free
nations—who are sacrificing everything dear to them for you and for me.
But this is not the end of our obligations. We must buy more bonds and
more bonds until victory.
May Quota $37,000.00
The quota for Series E Bonds to be
sold in Clare county during the month
of May has been set by the State Administrators at $37,000.00. It is believed that we will be able to reach
this quota and it is to be noted that
the government has emphasized the
need f or continuous, all=out purchasing
of war bonds each and every pay day
until Vietory is won.
The accomplishments of the past,
although outstanding, cannot be, rested upon too heavily. Ours is a task
of the present and future. Our duty is
clear, While they are giving their
lives—we must lend our money.
and we are sure it will be a source of
pride to the workers and contributors
of the county that County War Fund
Chairman Paul D. Gibson has received a citation from Central Committee Chairman Norman H. Davis,
commending the county for its successful achievement in, attaining and
surpassing the 1943 War Fund Goal.
An honor certificate has been awarded
to the county chapter for its splendid
response tq the.call, for funds to carry
on the national and county chapters'
work throughout the coming year,
This splendid recognition hf.s been
made possible only through the cooperation of all the workers and contributors of the county.
Since We began to work in 1940, our
Chapter has made over 5,000 garments, some for refugees, knitted
goods, hospital supplies and 400 kit
bags.
The women of Clare county have
surely' expressed their patriotism and
loyalty by their fine spirit of cooperation.
Home service has handled over 150
cases promptly and to the satisfaction
of the inquirers. Very fine comments
have come from the St, Louis headquarters office concerning Honie Service in Clare county, permaheht records of which are being arranged, and
the service is expected to be greatly
increased during*coming months.
At   a   meeting   of   the   Executive
Board, it was decided that no soliciting for money for Red Cross be made
at this time.   We have over ?2,000.00
on hand and this will all be spent for
materials to be made for our soldiers.
The  Board  also   decided   that  all
units    will    be    supplied    with    all
materials they need at the expense of
the County Chapter.
The Board  also  appointed  certain

becomes effective twenty days after
its passage, or on Sunday, May 23.
A resolution was passed prohibiting '
the burning or dumping of rubbish in
the alleys in the fire zone of the city,
which includes property lying in and
adjacent to the business district.
It was decided that city employees
should continue the city clean-up Work
each day until it was completed, after
whiclj "rubbish will be collected the
first-'ahd third Monday of each month
throifghout the year.
The city clean-up is now practically
completed and adds much to the appearance of our community.
In response to an appeal from the
State Salvage Committeepa representative of the Clare County Committee
was present at the Council meeting
and requested the cooperation of the
Council regarding the collection of tin
cans for the purpose of reclaiming tutor the war effort, including the
manufacturing of munitions of war
and receptacles for food for the armed
forces on the front lines of battle.
City trucks will collect tin cans for
salvage on the first Thursday of each
month and all citizens are urged to
properly prepare all tin cans, except
paint and oil containers, and place
them in receptacles at the curb.
