The writer was invited out to a
"special meeting" at the club house
Thursday evening of last week and
sure enough it was a special meeting. [
No one ever attended a meeting of the
local club that was not "special" in
one way or another.
A number of the members went out
at 3:00 o'clock to play eighteen holes
of their favorite sport before dinner
and those who "work for a living"
went out at 6:00 o'clock aud were content to play nine holes.
The writer went out with the "6:00
o'clock shift" and not being a golf
addict himself, decided that a good
way to see the course would be to
make the rounds with some of the
players. After a little coaxing, Richard Woodcock, Henry Doll, George
White and Burke Collins agreed to let
him go along with them and in appreciation of the kindness ye scribe cad-
died for Woody, and he got just as big
a kick out of it as Ed. Johnston gets
out of deer hunting.
At 8:00 o'clock a delicious dinner
was served in the club house dining
room by Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Callihan
and staff and Jesse Hampton called
the meeting to order. Norris Elden
led the golfers in group singing to get
them in a good mood for the program.
Jesse called on Mort. Gallagher, one
of the club's several presidents, and
Mort. responded in a dignified manner.
Ed. Johnston was then called on as
master of ceremonies, and although he
had lost his speech and the dog had
chewed it up, his natural wit and good
humor prevailed and saved the day.
Ed. briefly reviewed the history of
the club, mentioning that Mort Gallagher had been president of the club
since its inception ten years ago and
had less to say each year, and that Dr.
A. E. Mulder, O. D. Bayes, and Mort.
Gallagher had served well and faith-
Cully on the tournament committee
and Jesse Hampton and Clyde Harris
equally proficiently on the sports
committee during these years (regardless of who might be elected.*)
He then suggested that some good
golfer coach Roy Comer, that he might
be able to beat "Judge" Hether, and
called on Leo Hampton, who read a
very interesting poetic treatise on the
game of golf.
The Callihans were given a rising
vote of thanks for the splendid meal
that had been enjoyed and Wm. E.
Bowler was presented and congratulated for what he has done in maintaining the course and responded with
words of appreciation for the cooperation of the golfers.
The toastmaster then announced
that the anti had been raised to provide funds for prizes and a "considerable sum" raised for this purpose
but that no one but the club's peren-

screen division to Clare for more commodious quarters and because the officials believe more laborers are available here.
The plant will start 4riring men and
women employees Within a few days
and expect to be employing fifty persons here within three months. Anyone interested in employment in
Clare's new factory is urged to write
to P. O. Box 612, Cadillac Michigan,
and applications for employment will
be taken at the office of the Clare factory on and after Tuesday, August 1st.
Mr. Barrowclough stated that it was
the policy of the company to employ
all local help possible and that men
and women seeking employment in
the plant would be given every consideration.
The company has contracted for the
construction of three dry kilns to the
west of the present building, adding
3,000 feet of floor space to the local
plant. The interior of the plant will
also be remodeled and rearranged considerably to make it adaptable to the
production of the combination storm
sash and screens and other wood products which may be later added to its
line of work. Equipment is being
moved in as fast as the different departments of the plant are ready and
production will be commenced here at
the earliest possible date.
Harold Moline, general contractor
for building and remodeling, commenced work at the plant Wednesday,
and Henry Ackerman is installing the
plumbing and heating equipment.
Although Wood Products Inc. will
not manufacture war munitions in the
local plant, the storm sash produced
will conserve considerable coal, fuel
oil and heating gas in homes and commercial and industrial buildings and
the fuel saved will be available for
war production.
The new factory will not only be a
material addition to the industrial life
of the community, but will be another
step forward in the civic and social
advancement of the city, and local
citizens are urged to cooperate with
the management of Wood Products
Inc. in securing homes'or apartments
for the new families moving to Clare
and in assisting in securing employees
in the vicinity.

Well Baby and
Pre-School Clinic
in Clare Today
Another of the series of clinics for
well babies and pre-school children
will be held in the County Health
Nurse's office in the Clare city hall,
this Friday, July 28th, from 10:00 a.
m. to 12:00 noon and from 1:00 p. m.
to 3:00 p. m.
Babies and pre-school children
brought to the clinic will be weighed,
measured, and immunized * against
smallpox and diphtheria, if the mothers wish, without cost.
Although no epidemic has developed
due undoubtedly to the prompt action
of the State Board of Health and Tri-
County Health Unit, there have been
one or two cases of smallpox near
Clare and officials deem it advisable
that children over six months of age
be immunized.
It is much more pleasant to keep
our children well than to have them
become ill and then require weeks of
attention to restore their health and
careful periodical check-up will keep
the parents .informed as to their physical condition and development. All
mothers are urged to bring their infants and small children to the clinic.
The local health office is open from
9:00 a. m. to 12:00 noon each week
day and Tri-County Health Director
Dr. Madeline Donnelly, M.D., will be
in the office during these hours each
Wednesday for consultation.
