Council met in the Servicemen's Headquarters to discuss plans for the com-
•munity assistance for returning soldiers. The object of the meeting was

in which each organization could contribute to  this project.

present and Mr. Pfister presided at
the meeting.
Mrs. Montgomery, representing the
Rehabilitation Division of the State
Board of Control for Vocational Education and whose office is in the Clare

come to her office to talk over schooling that is available to help them in
occupations for which they are physically fit. Expenses for this project
will be paid by the State Board of
Control for Vocational Education.
Mrs. Harold Schaeffer, representing
the Good Literature Club, said that
they could work together with the
library in seeing to the supplying of
books and magazines for the Servicemen's Headquarters.
Mrs. Greta Masten, representing the
Eastern Star, said that she was there
to get information and thought that
there might be many things they
could do. Perhaps help in supplying
the counsel room so that it would be
home-like and comfortable.
Dominic McConnell, representing
the Knights of Columbus, said that he
was there more to learn what could
be done and report back to his organization for further consideration.
Rev. Harold Watson, representing
the -Federation of Churches, was not
present but it was suggested that the
churches put forth every effort to
make Servicemen at home and that
ministers should be very helpful in
counseling with the returning veterans.
The Odd Fellow and Rebekah
Lodges were represented by Mrs.
Herbert Leonard. She said that their
hospital beds, wheel chairs, crutches
and canes were available for anyone
who needs them.
John Rodabaugh, representing the
Masons, said that they would give consideration to these problems when
they met next.

seeing to it that veterans have something to eat, and something on which
to sleep; that they are providing
transportation and other needed services for Legion men with honorable
discharges; that they give courtesy
cards to veterans for visiting veteran
organizations in other cities, which

"A" Gas Ration
Two Gallons Per
Week in Nation
The Office of Price Administration
issued an order Tuesday reducing the
allowance of "A" gasoline ration book
holders in Michigan to two gallons per
Week, effective Wednesday, March 22.
Motorists in Eastern Seaboard States
were already curtailed to this ration
allotment and the new order makes
the two gallon restriction effective
throughout the nation.
Critical demand together with a
daily drain of 2,500,000 gallons of gasoline, intended for lawful civilian motorists, by black market activities,
was blamed for the ration reduction.

Through the efforts of Clare County
War Finance Chairman W. James Olson, a most outstanding display of war
pictures may be viewed at the local
War Service headquarters in the Burdo Building.
Included in the display are pictures
of aerial gunnery, gasoline production and distribution, war transportation, troop equipment, naval salvage,
all types of naval vessels, desert warfare, planes going into and returning
from action, amphibious activities,
depth bomb explosions, care of survivors of ship sinkings, blood plasma
administration, aircraft and anti aircraft warfare, coast guard and merchant marine activities, and many
others.
The pictures were taken by Army
and Navy photographers in Sicily, the
Aleutians, at Wake Island, Munda,
Tarawa, in Australia, North Africa,
and numerous other places and the
display has been arranged by Graflex,
manufacturers of photographic equipment used by the armed forces as well
as by our local photographer, Earl
Sternaman., for outside photography.
A visit to War Service headquarters
to see these remarkable pictures will]
not only prove educational but very
interesting. The place is now kept
open from 12:30 p. m.~to 5:00 p. m„
Monday through Saturday, and from
6:30 to 9:00 o'clock Saturday evenings, with Mrs, John Schaaf in

IT ISN'T TRUE
The rumor that is going around,
that Harley Holt and Ernest- Irwin

the I.O.O.F. fish supper, which is being
held March 24, is untrue and without
foundation. And the committee would

Mr. and Mrs. Lew Fetters, their
three small children and a guest of
the family narrowly escaped being
burned to death in their beds in their
apartment, in the John Asline house
at 106 West Seventh street, when Mrs. j
Fetters was aroused from her sleep by'
the crackling of flames between 4:30
and 5:00 o'clock Monday morning,
and awakened to find their home filled
with fire and smoke.
She awakened Mr. Fetters and the
children and when he investigated he
foufid the family trapped by flames
which were coming up the stairway.
A small window was opened at the
rear of 'the apartment and the Fetters
helped their eight year old son, Dick,
their little daughters, Nancy Jane,
who is almost four years old, and Carol Lee, sixteen months, and th^ children's eight year old cousin, Donald
Cobleigh, of Marion, onto the steep
kitchen roof below, the Fetters following the youngsters to the roof.
The Fetters clung to the roof and
called for help until they aroused Les:
lie Cobb, who lives in the rear apartment of the house, and neighbors, Who
rescued them from the roof with ladders, and called the fire department.
It was necessary to assist Mrs. Fetters down the ladder, as well as the
children, as she collapsed on the roof
from the excitement and shock of the
narrow escape.
Dr. F. C. Sanford was summoned to
attend Nancy Jane, who was in a serious condition, suffering from severe
shock and asphyxiation caused by
smoke entering her lungs. The little
girl's condition was considerably improved Thursday afternoon.
The cause of the Are, which apparently started • in the basement stairway, is unknown, and the flames had
gained such headway when discovered
at this early morning hour that it was
with difficulty that the Clare firemen
saved the rear portion, of the dwelling
occupied by the Leslie Cobb family,
from the almost complete destruction
wrought in the front part of the building.
The Fetters' furniture, household
effects, clothing and all*their personal'
belongings, with exception of some
summer clothing which was stored in
boxes, were destroyed,
The flames were confined, by the
splendid wbrk of the firemen, to the
Fetters apartment, roof and front
porch, and the Cobb apartment was
saved from damage by fire, although
the rooms and furnishings were damaged some by smoke and water.
The building was completely covered by insurance through the Art Da:

apartments were not insured..  An ac-

Just what can Clare do in the 1944
Victory Garden Program? The National program calls for 10% more
gardens aud 25% more production.
The government will require 43%
more Canned foods and 19% more
canned vegetables.
Here in Clare we do not expect to
have any complicated organization.
We do want everyone to know that he
should do his share to produce something, and that by experience of the
past and with additional information,
produce more per square foot than
before.
The week of March 19-25 is Victory
Garden week. The farm crop class
in our High School is planning to work
with any organization that desires it
to discuss some facts in gardening.
The topics are arranged as follows:
1. Your Victory Garden will help
win the war.
2. A garden plan.
3. Making a garden plan.
4. Varieties of seed and plants.
5. Fertilization.
6. Cultural practices.
7. Insect control.
8. Disease control.
These boys will take part: Don
Brown, Gordon Foell, Don Murphy,
Jack Rutter, Bill Schlafley, Norman
Schroeder, Norval Arnold, Raynard Allen, and Arnold Smith.
We wish to make the following requests:
First: If you wish to have these
boys present gardening on your program in the near future, please call
the Clare High School, phone 138.
Second: If you wish a garden
space secured for you, call the High
School, phone 138, or Otto Pino, Victory Garden Chairman, phone 259-W.
Third: If you have garden, space
that someone San use, call the High
School, phone 138, and state your
proposition.
We hope to have timely articles in
the Sentinel as the season progresses.

What did you do for
day?—Buy Bonds!
As we go into the last half of March
the month set aside this year for the
^National Red Cross War Fund drive,
we find that although splendid progress is being made by War Fund
workers, Clare county lacks a great
deal of attaining its quota of $7,600.
The results o'f the concentrated canvass of the first four days of the drive
were gratifying but not conclusive.
The majority of our citizens are
giving generously, but some still hesitate, not because they do not wish
to contribute to a worthy cause, but
because they are not fully aware of
the real necessity and huge task of
the Red Cross in administering to our
boys and girls in. service.
We know that the Red Cross is first
on the scene for relief of disaster victims at home and have a passing
knowledge of their War activities, but
only those who benefit most from the
humanitarian work of the American
Red Cross in the battle zones can
fully realize not only the necessity,
but also the magnitude of the task.
We have read letters in The Sentinel and Other publications voicing
the boys appreciation of what the Red
CrossMs doing for them, many of Us
have had such letters ourselves, but
We wish to bring to you a statement
of General George C. Marshall, Chief
of Staff, TJ. S. Army:
"The workers of the American Red
Gross are with our" fighting men
throughout the world comforting and
caring for them and bolstering their
morale. They make a great contribution to the morale of the Army by
maintaining the vital link between
our soldiers and their families.
