LIEUT. JAMES J. SPARTA
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sparta, of Farwell,
received the following telegram Tuesday morning:
"Mrs, Ruth B. Sparta:
diers who have returned
vanced   Flight   School   at   Frederick
Field.  Oklahoma,  June  2G, 1943, and. ^-'JYj-——;*-
received his silver wings and Second
Lieutenant's commission at that time.
The   Clare   Common   Council   con-,
tracted   Thursday  afternoon  of   last]
week with the Layne-Northern Com-'
pauy, Inc., of Mishawaka, Indiana, to
drill a water well for the city of Clare, i
This is the same company that drilled j
the splendid well for the city sixteen}
years ago and the company was represented Thursday by E. M. Young, the
same gentleman who represented them
before.
As before, a fifty inch outer casing!
of one-quarter inch tank steel will bej
sunk to the top of the water bearing,
formation and a twenty six inch inner i
casing will be sunk to the bottom ofi
water bearing vein with a Layne patent shutter screen of Armco rust resisting plates extending to the top of
the water bearing sand.   A screen of
washed pea gravel will be sunk between   the   outer   casing   and   metal j Second   Lieutenant" James  J.   Sparta!
screen, extending from the bottom of
the well up into the outer casing.
The tentative location of the well is
at the northwest corner of the city hall
site, just west of the city garage, and
about three hundred feet north of the
present well.
According to the terms of the contract, drilling is to commence within
twenty days and it is expected equipment will be moved in within a few
days to drill a six-inch test well into
the same vein as the present well, or
about sixty-two feet deep, to determine
the capacity of the new well, and that
drilling of the well will commence immediately afterward. The contractor
will submit prints to the State Board
of Health for approval before starting
work.
The pumping unit will consist of a
deep well turbine pump to be installed
in the well, with provision for auxiliary power, and will be included in the
contract price of the well which will
be between $6300 and $8400, depending
upon the production of the well. The
contractor guarantees a capacity of
2,000,000 to 3,000,000 gallons of water
per day.
City Purchases Truck
The City Council authorized Monday
evening the purchase of a city truck
and on Tuesday a ton aud a half Chevrolet dump truck with reversible snow
plow and attachments was purchased
from the State Highway Department.
The need of a dump truck to be used
by the City Street Department has
long been felt by city officials and the
. acquiring of a source of gravel supply
at the dam site has made the purchase
of the truck even more urgent.
The truck will be used in the winter
to clear the city streets of snow and
the city tractor and V plow will be
used for clearing snow from the sidewalks.
This additional equipment will greatly facilitate the work of the City
Street Department in construction
and maintenance work, as well as
snow removal, and will be of particular value lor seasonal work, which in
the past has taxed the ciiy equipment
beyond its capacity.
We again wish to congrd*:jlafe the
City Council for its progressive administration of city affairs.

The Clare Masons Softball team won
two games in Mt. Pleasant Friday
night, July 14. The first game, against
the fast Drewrys team, ended with the
Masons on the long end of a 13 to 4
count. This game, in which Spencer
was throwing the ball past the Mt.
Pleasant batters, was featured by
some nice hitting on the part of the
Clare batsmen. Glen Cain came
through with a pair of triples and the
entire lineup made at least one hit.
Drewrys have one qf the best teams
in this part of the state and the fans
of Clare can look forward to the return
game when they come to Clare. This
will be in the next week or so.   '
I'll the second game of the evening,
the Masons beat the Myers Dairy team
4 to 1, in a game that only went four

FREEMAN TOWNSHIP
DISTRICT FAVORABLE
TO CONSOLIDATION
Vote to Consolidate With  Far-
well Agricultural
School Dist.
At the regular annual school meeting Freeman Township Unit School
district voted 16 to 2 to consolidate
with Farwell Rural Agricultural
School District. To complete the consolidation it will be necessary for the
electors of the Farwell Rural Agricultural School to vote in favor of accepting them.
If this is done, the combined school
districts will have an increase in valuation of approximately three hundred and twenty thousand dollars over
the valuation of the present Farwell
Rural Agricultural School District.
At this time it seems probable, if
the consolidation is consummated,
that children from Freeman Township
in the kindergarten through the fourth
grade will be transported to the school
at Lake George. Students above that
grade would be transported to Far-
well.
Consolidation would cause approximately twenty-eight students to be
added to the enrollment at Farwell,
and seventeen at Lake George. ,
This consolidation would materially*
aid the Farwell/School financially and |
should allow, if deemed advisable, for
additional   faculty   members   in   the

The- Clare City Library has received a check for ?177.20 from the
State Board for Libraries, Mrs. Estella
L. Artibee, Librarian, announces.
Last year's aid was used to purchase
a new set of encyclopedia Americanna
which helped greatly to raise the Library's  standard of efficiency.
The librarian spends a great deal of
study and thought, in the selection of
books, and keeps posted on forth-coming books, so that these which are
most important and "talked of" are
available to our patrons, just as soon
as they are published. We often have
the new books on our shelves before
the reviews come out- in the city papers.
With the splendid cooperation of a
very civic-minded Library Board, and
the City Council, we have gained the
reputation of being classed among the
best of the smaller libraries of the
state.
Brush College
School Reunion
Held July 16th
The third annual Brush College
school reunion was held at the school
house Sunday, July 16. There were
one hundred and seven present to enjoy the bountiful pot luck dinner, followed by a treat of ice cream.
The afternoon was spent in visiting
and renewing old friendships by the
older ones, while the young folks were
busy with ball games, swings, and
"the old swimming hole."
Next year's picnic date was set for
the first Sunday in July. At that time
We hope to set a regular date and establish a permanent organization.
Those attending from outside the
neighborhood were Mr. and Mrs. Perry Pierson, of Flint; Mr. and Mrs.
Raymond Ruby and sons, of Detroit;
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Ruby, of California; Mr. and Mrs. Earl Ruby and
children, Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Newman and family, Mrs. Lorin Leitner
and son, Wayne, Mr. and Mrs. Willis
'Strouse and family, Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Coney and Sons, Mr. and Mrs.

and it is going to take billions of dollars to conquer this foe. Will it be
your idle dollars that will prolong this
war? Will it be your idle dollars that
will cause more lives to be lost? Will
it be you who will cause Clare county
to fall short in loaning its share of
money to our government to bring this
war to a close as soon as possible?
The purchase of only a little 'more
than $28,000 in E bonds will put Clare
county over the top and maintain the
county's reputation of meeting each
and every War Loan quota. There
surely are 28,000 idle dollars in Clare
county that can lie put to work in the
cause of freedom and liberation from
the horrors of war. Let's all dig down
just a little deeper and buy another
?100 bond—a $50 dond—or even a $25
bond—all will help and all is needed—
now!

bomber and fighter bases in the Soviet

S/Sgt. Calkins, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Ervin Calkins, was among troops dispatched to the Soviet Union by the
Army Air Forces, and with their Soviet Allies they built bases in what
high-ranking American officers described at a "surprisingly short time."
Now soldiers of the two nations jointly operate them.
Major Kenneth A.'Reecher, a base
commander, points with pride to the
wholeheartedness with which the Americans and the Russians cooperate
and their earnest endeavor to understand each other and to learn each
other's language.
"We»are surprisingly alike in our
savvy of mechanics,, in spontaneous
wit, our like of entertainment, and earnestness of purpose," the officer said.
"We're getting on splendidly."

Thursday afternoon.
The men were confined in a cell on
the first floor of the jail and jimmied
the lock on their cell door and sawed
three bars on'a window through which
they escaped. Officers found a large
wooden plank which the men had
wrapped with blankets and pillows to
deaden the sound as they pried the
bars apart. It is thought that one
of the men carried the saw into the
jail in his shoes.
Mrs. Amble is reported to have said
the men were in their cell when a
clieck was made at 1:00 o'clock Friday morning but it was .discovered
that they had escaped at 5-: 30 that
morning.
Prates is five feet five inches tall,
weighs 145 pounds and was wearing
a dark shirt, black shoes and a gas
station attendant's cap. Williams is
five feet nine inches tall, weighs 145
pounds, and was wearing light gray
trousers, shirt and light colored shoes.
They were arrested recently following a search by.Sheriff's officers for
persons breaking into and stealing
furnishings and equipment from cottages in the vicinity of Harrison during the past winter months. Much of
the stolen property has been recovered.

so led him into other fields where he
operated successfully. His opinions
on beef cattle were respected widely
throughout the packing industry.
Of his late employer and friend,
William R. Longstreet, who was associated* with Mr. Cornwell more than
forty years and served twenty-five as
the Cornwell firm's assistant secretary-treasurer, said: "He was a highly
capable business executive—a man of
fine judgment. His credit always was
gilt-edged. His word on money matters was final. He always was very
particular about that. He had the ability to make friends and hold them
through the years."
Mr. Cornwell was regarded as a
public-spirited citizen and did much
in Clare county to effect road improvements. He was proud of his Clare
estate, where he often entertained
friends and was a considerate and
generous host.
He was a tall slender man with an
