The Clare, Harrison and Farwell
Common Councils have adopted Eastern War Time, effective this Sunday,
April 2, at midnight, and the majority
of residents in these communities will
set their clocks one hour ahead when
retiring Sunday evening.
The offices in the county building at
Harrison will also adopt the new time
as well as the schools in the three
towns. Hour schedules in the Clare,
Harrison and Farwell schools will re-
, . main unchanged and classes will be
ward the light. We cannot all be conducted as previously, except that
heroes, either pf the laboratory or thellhe schedules will commence an hour
earlier by the sun. This will give the
farm children attending these schools
an extra hour of daylight each evening to assist with the farm duties
during the busy spring months while
school is in session.
The change of time will adjust the
city time to that of the post offices,
railroads, buslines, and war munition
plants in neighboring cities, a,nd will
be a convenience to a good many people who are punching clocks in these
plants.

us can afford to put Easter seals on
our letters, and in this way make a
very real contribution to the welfare
of the suffering and handicapped
youth in our midst.
In a few days seals will be in the
nands of many of the people of our
community. These will reach you by
mail. Please be prompt to place your
contribution in the envelope provided,
and mail to the chairman, Mrs. N. A.
Elden. If you do not receive seals
and wish to "Share your Easter Joy"
by making a contribution, call the
chairman, or mail your check to her,
and credit will be given.
We cannot abandon our efforts to
do good to those crippled and handicapped by disease or accident, simply
because a few madmen have plunged
our world into a war which is the
greatest crippler of them all.
Let us remember that 50 per cent of
all money contributed in Clare comity
remains here for use in our own community, while another 40 per cent remains in Michigan. Also the" scope of
our usefulness has been extended to
include young adults as well as children.
Be as generous as your heart dictates, and think how you would feel if
the child benefitted were yours!
Children are not permitted to sell
Easter Seals at the door, by order of
the Michigan Society for Crippled
Children.

Membership in the AAA is not required in order that a farmer may
qualify for gasoline for farm use, John
F. Kessel, Saginaw district director
of the Office of Price Administration,
declared today in an effort to clear
up some confusion on that point.
However, because the AAA possesses records on local farms, certification
of gasoline applications through that
office will speed up the processing of
the gasoline rations, Kessel pointed
Out. .
If farmers want to by-pass the AAA,
they may, the local War Price and Rationing Board will require the same
information on the gasoline application as could be supplied by the AAA
records however.
Kessel stressed the fact that the
facilities of the AAA as a certifying
agent are being used generally to expedite and improve the service to the
farmer in issuance of gasoline rations
for off-highv?ay purposes. Farmers
are not being asked to sign up with
the AAA nor are they'expected to be
members in order to obtain the certification service.
Meanwhile, the OPA rationing division's mileage section warned that
several series .of gasoline coupons become obsolete at midnight March 31.
These include the B, C, Bl, CI, coupons, and E and R coupons which
bear the wording "Good for one unit
of gasoline." All T coupons issued
for the first quarter also expire Friday.

of eighty-one years, two months and
sixteen days.
He was born in Ohio, January 13th,
1863, and came to Michigan as- a boy,
living in Ionia, Belding, Saginaw and
Ithaca, before coming .to Mt. Pleasant
to make his home, about forty years
ago.
He owned and operated a grain elevator in Mt. Pleasant lor many years,
before retiring from active business
fifteen^ years ago, and was prominent

ELECTION DAY LUNCHEON
The Altars of St. Cecilia's are'
draped in purple as elaborate preparations are made to mourn the death
of the King of Kings. «
Already in Apostolic time emphasis
was laid upon the memory of the last
week of Jesus Christ's, mortal life.
Holy Week at St. Cecelia's will open,
with the traditional benediction of the
palms and procession. "The Hebrew
children bearing branches of. olive
went out to meet the Lord, shouting
and saying: Hosanna in the highest
. . . Blessed is He that cometh in the
Name of the Lord." Our Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem is impressively recalled by this ceremony.
It is customary for the people to hold
the palms during the Procession and
the reading of the Gospel—the passion-gospel enables them, as it were,
to be eyewitnesses of His passion and
death, revealing His love "unto the
end."
Holy Thursday
The solemn rites of Holy Thursday
commemorate Our Lord's Last Sup-
<per and the institution of the Blessed
Eucharist. After Mass the Blessed
Sacrament is carried in solemn procession to the altar of repose. The
repository suggests the Garden of
Olives and the Holy Sepulchre. The
burial of Christ as well as the institution of the Holy Eucharist are commemorated. Each family will spend
an hour before this altar to join Christ
in the awful death-watch, to thank
Him for living in our midst, to beg
pardon for the sins committed against
this Sacrament of LoVe and request
His graces for themselves and family,
the parish, our Country and the whole
world. Confessions will be heard on
Wednesday from 4.00 to 5:00 and
7:30 to 9:00 to enable as many to receive Holy Communion as possible.
Good Friday
Good Friday is the Anniversary of
the death of Christ; on this, the
year's saddes-t day,*we recall the Carrying the Cross and Grucifixion.
Its services, which are as old as the
Church, are in three parts: 1. Prophecies, or reading from the Old
Testament, the Gospel story of Our
Savior's suffering and death, and
special prayers offered for all men.
2. The touching removal of the purple
veil from the crucifix and the adoration of the Cross and 3. Mass and Pre-
sanctified. In this service Our Lord
is carried back from the side altar,
raised aloft for our adoration, and
then received by the priest in Holy
Communion.
Holy Saturday
Of old, Christians spent Easter Evening in prayer, anticipating the joyous Easter dawn and at the first moment of the new day the Mass of Easter
was begun. The new fire is blessed;
the sanctuary lamp and candles are
lit; the Paschal candle blessed and
lit to represent Christ present among
us until the Ascension. The joyous
Easter mass is then begun.
Easter Sunday
Members of St. Cecilia's parish will
have the privilege of attending two
Masses on Easter. The early Mass at
dawn, 7:30 a. m. and a later Mass at
10:30 a. m. The purple has been removed from the altar and flowers,
song and the ringing of the bells express the great joy of this glorious
Feast, dear to the heart of every
Christian.
The Thayer Dairy, of this city, has
purchased the property adjoin.ng their
plant on the east, from the Clare
County Road Commission, and will remodel and equip the building to furnish the farmers and townspeople of
this community with refrigerated food
locker service.
This will provide a complete modern locker storage plant whore patrons can have meat, fish, poultry,
fruit, berries, and vegetables, processed, frozen, and stored for future use.
Each patron will have an individual
storage locker and meat taken to the'
plant will be aged, cut wrapped and
placed in the lockers at a nominal fee.
The plant will enablo both fanners
and townspeople to effect sfivings in.
their annual food bill, and at the same
time help them to enjey a better living. It will permit a greater utilization of home-grown meats, fruits, berries, and vegetables.
Since a farmer can eptisfy most of
his meat requirements at app: oximate-
ly his cost for growing an &_. mal or
fowl, he makes substantial .••avings.
Similar economies can he made by a
town dweller through purchasing
meats, fruits, berries, and vegetables
in bulk quantities from a grower or
dealer.
Reports show that, based on govern--
ment records of per capita consumption of meat, a family using refrigerated locker service can save $75.00 to
$100.00 per year and at the same time
enjoy better quality food and greater-
variety.
The establishment of this food loclb-
er plant here will not only meaft A
new industry for the community, but
it is endorsed by County Agricultural
Agent Paul Gibson and Clare County
United States Department of Agriculture Chairman Robert. Kleiner, as a
service that has proven very beneficial and successful in. other communities of the State and will fill a long
felt need of the citizens of this community. '**•'•
It will be necessary for patrons to
sign up and deposit a year's rental fee,
which it $10.00, $12.00 or $14.00 according to the locker selected, for sixty per cent of the lockers before priorities can be secured to build the plant,
but this money will be placed in escrow with a responsible agency until
such time as the plant is ready to provide service to its patrons, and if for
any reason the plant is not completed,
every penny deposited will be returned to the patron making the deposit
Patrons may register at the Dairy
or at Manee's Meat Markefand make
their deposits there. There is a possibility that there will not be enough,
lockers to go around as the desirability of this service is well known in
many communities and patrons are advised to register and reserve their
lockers without delay.

The offices in the county building at Harrison will also adopt the new time as well as the schools in the three towns. Hour schedules in the Clare, Harrison and Farwell schools will re- , . main unchanged and classes will be ward the light. We cannot all be conducted as previously, except that heroes, either pf the laboratory or thellhe schedules will commence an hour earlier by the sun. This will give the farm children attending these schools an extra hour of daylight each evening to assist with the farm duties during the busy spring months while school is in session. The change of time will adjust the city time to that of the post offices, railroads, buslines, and war munition plants in neighboring cities, a,nd will be a convenience to a good many people who are punching clocks in these plants.

The increase of the wine tax will vary from 50 to 100 per cent of present rates.

In a few days seals will be in the nands of many of the people of our community. These will reach you by mail. Please be prompt to place your contribution in the envelope provided, and mail to the chairman, Mrs. N. A. Elden. If you do not receive seals and wish to "Share your Easter Joy" by making a contribution, call the chairman, or mail your check to her, and credit will be given. We cannot abandon our efforts to do good to those crippled and handicapped by disease or accident, simply because a few madmen have plunged our world into a war which is the greatest crippler of them all. Let us remember that 50 per cent of all money contributed in Clare comity remains here for use in our own community, while another 40 per cent remains in Michigan. Also the" scope of our usefulness has been extended to include young adults as well as children. Be as generous as your heart dictates, and think how you would feel if the child benefitted were yours! Children are not permitted to sell Easter Seals at the door, by order of the Michigan Society for Crippled Children. Mrs. N. A. Elden, County Chairman. Mrs. Chas. Amble, Harrison Mrs. Blanche Sage, Farwell. RED CROSS WAR FUND DRIVE ENDS TONIGHT AT 12:00 Contributions Postmarked March 31st Apply to Quota MRS: W. C. ARTCLIFF SUCCUMBS TO ILLNESS AT HOME IN CLARE Laid at Rest With Rebekah Funeral Services Monday Membership in the AAA is not required in order that a farmer may qualify for gasoline for farm use, John F. Kessel, Saginaw district director of the Office of Price Administration, declared today in an effort to clear up some confusion on that point. However, because the AAA possesses records on local farms, certification of gasoline applications through that office will speed up the processing of the gasoline rations, Kessel pointed Out. . If farmers want to by-pass the AAA, they may, the local War Price and Rationing Board will require the same information on the gasoline application as could be supplied by the AAA records however. Kessel stressed the fact that the facilities of the AAA as a certifying agent are being used generally to expedite and improve the service to the farmer in issuance of gasoline rations for off-highv?ay purposes. Farmers are not being asked to sign up with the AAA nor are they'expected to be members in order to obtain the certification service. Meanwhile, the OPA rationing division's mileage section warned that several series .of gasoline coupons become obsolete at midnight March 31. These include the B, C, Bl, CI, coupons, and E and R coupons which bear the wording "Good for one unit of gasoline." All T coupons issued for the first quarter also expire Friday.

"The Hebrew children bearing branches of. olive went out to meet the Lord, shouting and saying: Hosanna in the highest . . . Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord." Our Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem is impressively recalled by this ceremony. It is customary for the people to hold the palms during the Procession and the reading of the Gospel—the passion-gospel enables them, as it were, to be eyewitnesses of His passion and death, revealing His love "unto the end."
