Bond Campaign
The Treasury announced plans
Tuesday night for a nationwide
Back Salerno Day, as incomplete
returns from the Third War Loan
showed sales of $2,957,000,000, or

goal. The total was $558,000,000
over Monday night's tabulation.
Designating today, Friday, for
special effort and tribute to Americans battling on the Italian coast,
the Treasury sent a telegram to
war finance chairmen in each state
saying:
"American boys at this very
moment are fighting one of the
bloodiest battles of the war. The
entire nation has its eyes, ears and
hearts on those brave Americans
in the Salerno sector,"

The Third War Loan quota Is more
than two and a quarter times what
we were nsked to purviSse. ii5» th^j
Second War Loan., Although the
drive is well under way, an average
of $15,000 in War Savings Bonds
must be sold each day of September
if our quota of $372,000 is to be sold.
The big push is on! This is the
fateful summer we have been waiting
for. Hitler knows he must win before another winter rolls around, or
face anihllatton. And you can be
sure that he will hurl everything he
has—every gun, plane, soldier and
tank—into the struggle that is even
now rising in tenvpo on every front.
When the command goes out to
our fighting men. to ATTACK—you
can be sure they don't look for excuses. They don't hesitate. They
strike fast and hard—as they did at
Guadalcanal, in Tunisia and Sicily
(Continued On Page Six)
Regular elasses are under way in
the Clare Public School with a total
enrollment in the school of 572 which
is 10 more than the initial enrollment
of last year. An increase of 32
students has been experienced in
grades K-8, partially offset by a drop
of 20 iu grades 9-12.
The school program is operating
during the same hours as last year
but with some change in the. length
of the high school class periods. Two
forty-five minute periods, beginning
at 9:00, and one hour period at 11:00
permit a 30 minute activity period
each day. Clubs, homerooms,* and assemblies are then scheduled during
that time and thus do "not disturb the
regular class program. The "high
school classes in the afternoon are
each mie»hGKr in length. The grade
program is substantially the same except that the music and art are taught
by one person, thus making it possible for the sixth grade to be in
charge of one person instead of several as formerly.
The first assembly program was
held Thursday afternoon, September
16, at which time the Varsity Club,
under the direction of Coach Donald
Richardson, presented a demonstration of football fundamentals on the
athletic field. The first home football
game Is scheduled with Beaverton
here, this Friday night at 8:15 o'clock.

Chapter Requests
Your Assistance
The sewing committee of the Clare
Red Cross Unit wishes to make an
earnest appeal for assistance in cutting and sewing Red Cross garments
and supplies. Club meetings and
bridge tournaments have been arranged so as not to interfere with the
sewing classes and it is hoped that
this precedent will be followed by individuals who are entertaining, as the
Red Cross work is vital to the war
effort.
Sewing sessions are held in the
Legion rooms at the Clare city hall
each Thursday from 10:00 a.m. until
5:00 p. m., and persons wishing to,
may take work home, with them for
other hours.
Those who have been working on
articles during the sewing recess are
requested to bring in all completed
articles as soon as possible so that
a check-up of completed work may
be made.
If there is sufficient demand, an
evening; sewing session will be arranged. If it will be iaore, convenient for yon to werk in the evening,
please phone VMrts..- StUart iBietauell,

Monday evening, September 20th.
Women Bowlers Meet
The Women's Bowling League met
at the Dunlop Cafe Monday evening
of this week with a good attendance
and plans were made to gtart the
season with six teams, as was the
Case last year. However, it is quite
possible that two more teams will
be added to the league. The ladies
will bowl Thursday evenings.
Mrs. Dorothy Koch was elected

Oh Monday, September 20, the
Michigan Department of Health will
begin a new service designed to provide blood plasma free.to physicians
in all parts of the state.
Blood for the plasma will be given
by Michigan residents and will be
collected in the State Health Department's traveling clinic which opens
its schedule at Lansing next Monday,
Communities throughout the upper
and lower peninsulas will be visited
by the clinic on a schedule based on
local requests.
At present only fifteen hospitals
located in five counties in Lower
Michigan have the personnel and c-
quipment necessary to process blood
plasma and not all of these are actually In production. Under the new
program, plasma will be processed iu
, | the State Health Department laboratories and the service will be available to everyone from Copper Harbor
to the Indiana and Ohio boundaries.
The average cost o£ a 250-cc unit
of blood plasma processed commercially is estimated at $28 to $35.
Where several units are required for
adequate treatment the cost may exceed $300. Free distribution of plasma to physicians by the State Health
Department will make it necessary
for the patient to pay only the physician's fee for administering the.
transfusion.
Blood plasma is desirable for the
treatment of all cases of shock.
Shock may result from accidents, surgical operations, burns and from hem-
brrhages complicating such diseases
as typhoid, dysentery and diarrhea
of £he newborn. A new use of plasma
Is in the treatment of premature ba-
•'bies.
Plasma may "be distributed in liquid,
frozen or dried forms, all of equal
value in the treatment of ill or injured persons. Liquid plasma can be
stored for a year at room temperature without losing its potency, frozen plasma for three years and dried
plasma for five years. These'^are
qualities of plasma which make it
preferrable to whole blood which cannot be stored successfully for more
than ten days.

our retailers quota for the month,
"This is the greatest challenge retailers have ever faced," said Mr, Rus
sell. "The retailers of the nation have
taken as their goal for September'the
sale of one billion dollars worth of
series E bonds, and we in Clare county intend to do our full share. While
we continually sell war bonds and
stamps through retail stores, this
month we are making a special all-out
effort to far surpass all previous records. We must not fail in this big
job. We are part of the invasion
army; but instead of invading enemy
territory, our job is to invade the
pockets Of those on the home front,
and help to bring out the idle money

war; and after the war, it will return
to this community to help win the
peace, and purchase the commodities

are taking orders for war bonds, as a
service to their customers," said Mr.

Casper to Make Appearance ""I
The pioneers have taken Casper
out of the moth balls and are grooming him for the trip to St, Louis next
Friday evening, when they will fight
for the custody of Casper and their '
"alma mater." There is little chance
that St. Louis has forgotten the 28-6
defeat handed to them last season by
the Pioneers and with the Crimson
Tide out for revenge, this also prom-
the horse barn and tool shed and two
stacks of hay on the John Pfannes
farm, at Maim Siding, early Tuesday
morning. The fire was discovered at
about 5:00 o'clock by Austin Hoskey,
son-in-law of Mr. Pfannes, who assisted him in working the farm and
resides, there with his family, but
had gained such headway that it was
beyond control.
The Clare Fire Department rural
truck was called, and with the aid of
neighbors  who  had  gathered  at  the
scene   of vthe   fire,   saved   the  other  ises to be a S°od same,
buildings   and   additional   stacks  of
hay.
A new corn planter, two plows and
the hay and grain stored in the building were lost, but fortunately all of
the livestock was in pasture and escaped the flames. With th_ assistance of firemen and neighbors, the
most of the Implements stored in the
building were drawn out before the
fire reached them.
It'is believed that the building was
insured but that the loss of the eon-
tents was not protected by Insurance.
