The bimonthly business meeting of
the Isabella-Clare District of Valley
Trails Council, Boy Scouts of America,
was held at the Hotel Doherty Thursday evening of last week.
Following dinner, J. Walter Leonard, of Mt. Pleasant, presided at the
meeting and summarized the minutes
of the last meeting. Carle W. Handel,
Scout Executive of Valley Trails Council, discussed membership add "registration; and Scout Commissioner John
Rodabaugh, of Clare, discussed Cub
Pac activities. Mr. Leonard reported
that Harrison and Farwell Scouts were
making satisfactory progress, but that
Farwell's Scoutmaster Was going into
the Army and that there would be a
vacancy there. Coach Donald Richardson is now Clare's Cubmaster and
W. N. Byers Clare's new Scoutmaster.
Cooperation of local Scouts, parents
and Scouters will be appreciated by
the new leaders.
- Very satistactory reports were given
by S. McDonald, oa advancement; Dr.
R. H. Strange, on health and safety;
Dick Wysong, oh training; Emil Pfister on camping and activities; and J.
F. Battle, on organization and extension.
Clifford Klapp, of Mt. Pleasant, Advancement Director at Camp Rotary,

the International Camp meeting of the
Church of God, where their daughter,
Ella, has spent a year in college.
On Sunday afternoon. June 18, was
"World Service Day." The great
tabernacle and balcony seating 24,000
people, was crowded to capacity. The
grand  march  of that great audience

who with the assistance o£ members
of Clare County War Finance Committee living within the city have
worked tirelessly and will continue to
put forth every effort to reach our
goal. What kind of a beachhead will
these "Fighting Fifth Volunteers"
niake on your doorstep?
As the city of Clare has lead the
county in furnishing men and women
for the fighting forces, the city should
also lead the county in furnishing the
necessities of warfare.
When our boys and girls and our
neighbors boys and girls return, from
the bloodshed and supreme sacrifice
of the battlefields we will be mighty
glad to be able to say that we have
done all we could for them and those
who sleep eternally beneath the sod
of Normandy, Italy, North Africa and
the wide expanses of the Pacific
theaters of war. Please do not hesitate but dig down now when your help
is most needed and buy all the War
Savings Bonds you possibly can.

The Clare I.O.O.F. and Rebekah
Lodges held their annual Memorial
Cervices Sunday afternoon, in their
lodge hall, with a good attendance.
Mrs. Elizabeth Mcintosh, chairman,
opened the program with the group
singing, "Onward Christian Soldiers,"
led by Miss Doris Gerow, with Mrs.
Fannie Schultz at the piano; prayer
was given by Wm. D. Harger, Chaplain of the I.O.O.F. lodge. Friendship,
Love and Truth was exemplified by
three girls, Shirley and Barbara
Wright and Donna Mussell, with violin music by Ed. Schlafley,  Sr.
The sisters paid loving tribute to departed members in a very impressive
ceremony. Those taking part were
Miss Gerow, soloist; Mrs. Alba Howlett, chaplain; Mrs. Margaret Irwin,
Mrs. Florence Irwin, Mrs. Mary Mussell, Mrs. Fern Wright, Mrs. Etta
Howard, Mrs. Treva Sparbel, Mrs.
Crystal Walter; and Mrs. Fannie
Schultz, organist, assisted by Ed.
Schlafley with the violin. Potted
plants were placed at the foot of the
cross, in loving memory of two sisters, Mrs. Lulu Lamb and Mrs.' Kate
Artcliff, who passed away during the
past year. They also paid tribute to
Mrs. Mae VanWormer, of Clio, a former member of this lodge, who also
passed away recently.
Rev. Charles Hahn, of the Clare
Methodist Church, was presented and
gave a very fine address, using as his
topic, "It Is Good." He stated it is
easier to think of evil, than of the
good, but for eveiy unpleasantness,
we can find so many more things to be
bappy. about.

Cross, was exemplified by Mrs. Elizabeth Mcintosh; soloist Miss Gerow;

five feet, through a heavy clay strata
laying between the vein of supply of
this well and the older ones.
During the past sixteen years the
city has continued to grow, but the
water supply, with the giving out of
the six-inch wells, has decreased to a
point where we depend entirely on the
one well to supply the taps of many
more homes and provfde adequate fire
protection for the city and water for
commercial purposes.
During most of the year we have
gotten along with this limited supply
of water without much trouble, but in
every recent period of excessive heat
the city water system has been taxed
to its limit, often jeopardizing our surplus of water for fighting fires, and the
tank has been drained by evening of at
least two days this week because of
lack of water to meet the demands of
our growing city.
This is not because there is not
plenty of water available, for there is
plenty of it "down there," but because
of several conditions now existing.
The excessively hot and dry weather
of this week has caused a severe drain
on the water supply and during the
past sixteen years the screen at the
bottom of the well has become clogged
to a point where enough water to supply the city's two pumps cannot get
into the well. This can be remedied

A search by Sheriff's officers for
persons breaking into cottages in the
vicinity of Harrison during the winter
months culminated last week in the
arrest by Sheriff Seaver Amble of
George Williams, of Gladwin, and
Henry Prates, of Hayes township,
Clare county.    <
The accused men were arraigned before Justice Jennings Archambault, in
Clare, on the charge of breaking and
entering in the night time with intent
to commit the crime of larceny, and
on the plea of guilty were bound over
to Circuit Court.
Their  bond  was   set  at ,?500  antf
Prates furnished bond and WaS released, while Williams refused to furnish bond and is confined in the county
jail until such time as Circuit Judge
Ray Hart holds court at Harrison.
The People of the State of Michigan were represented by Prosecutor
Joe Naumes.
LUTHERAN PICNIC POSTPONED

Water Users!
There is a serious shortage of Water
in the city of Clare. The City Administration asks your help in order to
conserve the supply until the necessary repairs can be made, by:
1. Keeping faucets shut off tight
when not in use.
2. Confining sprinkling of lawns and
gardens' to once each day.
3. Using less Water in every way
possible.
The water will be shut off for one
day for repairs. This date will be announced ia The Sentinel and l«y handbills in time for you to fill containers

County Growers Need
Assistance
Cherry producers of Grand Traverse and Lelanau counties want help
with the harvest of\he best crop of
cherries they have had in years. A
crop estimated at 50 to 60 million
pounds will be ready to start picking
by July 10th.
In normal times picking crews from
all parts of Michigan gather in cherry
land and pick the crop. Now it's another story. Help is scarce, the crop
abundant. Will Michigan rural families be able to spare time or help to
gather the cherries? At a conference
of County Agricultural Agents in Cadillac on June 20th a quota of 150 cherry pickers from Clare County was
pledged to assist the hard pressed
cherry pickers, Here is some pertinent information for those who can
help in this work.
1. Cherry harvest will start about
July 10th and continue until August
20th.

we can help the boy who once sat in
