1943 starting squad, but just had not
"got to going" went down to Shepherd
Friday afternoon, September 29th, to(
open the high school grid season and
ioutgained their opponents on yardage
and completed more first downs, but
just didn't seem to be able to get the
ball over the goal line to scoi-e.
The locals played a good defensive
game, but with five linemen who haa
not had a great deal of experience and
•the punting not up to par, the locals
didn't cash in on their gains.
Shepherd's scrappy squad could not
be considered superior to the green
and white but were on theiv toes every
minute and held the Clave boys to a
scoreless tie.
Clare 13—Reed City 6
The Clare Pioneers spotted a strong
Reed City football team six points in
the early minutes of theiv contest last
Friday, and then made a fine come
back to win 13-6.
Reed City's touchdown came as a result of a bad pass from center, combined with a short kick that gave them
possession of the ball on the Pioneer
35. From there Reed City roared over
the goal line in six plays. The try
for point failed. The Reed City fans
had hardly settled down to enjoy what
appeared to be a tout, when Joe Meth-
ner, on a quick opening play, raced
65 yards to knot the score. Bud Roda-
baugh's placement split the uprights
aud the Pioneers took the lead.
From that point, Clare played a
kicking game, being content to let
Reed City wear themselves out in an
effort to regain the lead. At this stage
of the game, it was Hartshorn's quick
kicking that kept the Reeds bottled
up in their own territory.
Early in the fourth quarter, a short
kick gave Clare the ball in enemy
territory and the Pioneers went to
work, carrying the ball to the 22. Here
the Reed City defense stiffened and
Hartshorn punted out on the 12 yard
line. Reed City immediately kicked
with Clare getting the ball on the Reed
City 35. Two plays to the weak side
set the stage for the perfect play of
the evening, a bit of razzle-dazzle end
ing with a pass from Methner to Sch
neider, who was all alone iu the end
zone. The try for point failed and
Clare led 13-6.
Reed City gave the Pioneer fans a
chill in the last two minutes of the
game when they pulled a surprise play
to place the ball inside the Clare twenty yard marker. Here, with hard luck
in the shape of a possible tie breathing down the back of theiv necks, the
Clare line stiffened to take possession
of the ball. The game ended two
plays later.
The Pioneers have a light team this
year but one that promises to perform
like a champion if the boys continue
to play with the same dash and fire
they displayed at Reed City. Foss,
Hartshorn and Methner are fine backs I a
who can really go places with the ball
as long as they have the kind of line
play that was given them at Reed City.'
Too much credit cannot be given the
Pioneer line which oUtcharged their
heavier opponents on both offense and.
defense. I

as Malcomnson drove onto the highway from the east.
The occupants of the lutzi car were
brought to the offices of Dr. G. C.
Born, where Mrs. Iutzi was found to
be suffering internal injuries and a
bruised head, which confined her to
her bed for several days. Mr. Iutzi
was tveated for lacerations on the
head and Miss Elsie Iutzi for internal
injuries and bruises and both weve
veleased.
Malcomnson sustained bruises on

Ruiapaughs Injured Thursday
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Rulapaugh, of

week when their automobile is reported to have been struck by a car driven
by Milo M. Elliott, also of Clave R-4,
at .the highway intersection of old US-
10 and the county road throe miles
east of Clare. The Rulapaugh car is
reported to have overturned several
times.
The Ruiapaughs were driving west
on their way to Clave, when the Elliott
cav approached from the south and
neither driver noticed the other car
j coming until it was too late to avert
collision. The view at this intersection is obstructed by a house standing near the road and accidents have
occurred here befove.
The injuved were brought to the
Clare Hospital where it was found that

Save Many Lives
in Year
'Michigan's fvee blood plasma dis-
[' tvibution program will be a year old
, praised
■were, by medical authorities as a spectacularly successful venture into a new
field of protection of the public health.
"Development of the program was
the work of the late Dr. C. C. Young,
as director of the state health lab-
orutories. It was he who conceived
the plan to give to the civilian population benefits of plasma, which had
saved so many lives of those wounded
on the nation's battlefields.
"It was started and has flourished
as a cooperative venture in which the
American Red Cross enlists blood
donors from a public so cooperative
that the health laboratories, which
process and distribute the plasma,
could not handle all of the volunteers.
"Governor Kelly paid tribute to the
program and to Doctor Young in an
article appearing under his signature
printed in the September issue of Public Health, monthly bulletin of the
state health department.
" 'No one,' the governor's article
said, 'can say just how many lives
have been saved in Michigan by this
free blood plasma, but doctors in 47
counties now have plasma available
free for any person who needs it.
Stories come back to us" of the miracles which plasma makes possible.'
"He pointed to the use of plasma to
save the lives of war workers in Lansing when, as a result of an outbreak
of food poisoning, the victims were so
numerous a local hospital could not
find enough rooms for them and had
to place many of them in its corridors,
some of the patients so ill they had
no perceptible pulse when they reached the hospital,

War News Similar Twenty-Six Years
Ago—But No Labor Strikes Recorded
«■•
,S3ert Jackson, Sentinel foreman,
'found a. copy of the July 3rd, 1918,
Issue of the Grand Rapids Herald unifier -a stair tread at his home last week
sand 'it is interesting to note that the
front page was pretty well taken up
with -war news, as our newspapers
;asre today.
Pertinent events of the day were:
Uncle :'Sam's Fourth of July Challenge to the Kaiser—Troops sent overseas ..number 1,019,115 — hundred
launchjogs in American shipyards—
one plant turning out ten cannons a
day." | ••. ••'.- ■'*.

which,is 450,000 dead' Weight tons; as
much as was launched in six month3
last year. '.
"We fflant you and the boys in the
trcncWes to know that the men, in the
yards,are going the limit'to provide
in recijrd-hreaking time the, ships that

itteBarj_j_j£p_eB.". . " ■ .,._._„
"Pershing to Hurley—The launching
of 100 ships on, the Fourth of July is
the" most inspiring news that has
come to us. All ranks of the army in
France send their congratulations and
heartfelt thanks to the patriotic brothers in, the shipyards at home. No
more defiant answer could be given to
the enemy's challenge. With such
backing we cannot fail to win. All
hail American shipbuilders."
•"Tanks exterminate almost entire
German Regiment; take important,
position. Village of Vaux and road to
Paris captui;ed and held against all
coiners. Vicious counter blows completely beaten off. Assaults of Americans so terrific as to go beyond the
objective; Huns fleeing before charge;
prisoners glad to be captured."
"Airplanes to take big part in next
drive."
"New draft takes many men from
Michigan farms." ■ , ■■■..-
These items are VeVy similar to war
news now,, appearing in our newspapers, but one thing was very noticeable, there wpi's ho-mention of labor
3trike„ in. that newspaper.
John R. Dethmers, chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee
and Republican candidate for Auditor
General called attention to the Iinpor
tance of registering by October 18th
for the state-wide general election
next November 7th.
In a statement issned from the Republican State headquarters at Lansing Dethmers said "It is the duty of
every public-spirited citizen regardless of his or her political affiliation
to vote. Under our form of government this is the only way by which
the people may retain control of the
vital governmental processes affecting
their daily welfare."
Pointing out that Wednesday, October 18th is the last day for registration for the November 7th election,
Dethmers cautioned Michigan voters
that those who have not voted in
Michigan for two years may under
the law have had their registrations
cancelled by city or township clerks
in townships and cities having a popu
lation of 5,000 or more. This may
have been done also, Dethmers said,
in townships and cities having a population, of less than 5,000 if the legislative bodies of those townships or
cities have adopted such a resolution.
The Republican State chairman de-
lcared that in all cases of doubt as to
whether or not a voter is propei'ly
registered it is well to check with the
township or city clerk of the township
or city in which the voter resides for
the purpose of determining whether
or not the voter is properly registered.
"Only in this way," Dethmers said,
"can the voters of Michigan be absolutely sure of availing themselves of
their right of franchise on. next November 7th.-v In these vital times it
is the plain duty of every citizen to
avail himself of that right. And it is
only by a complete expression of the
desires of all the people, through the
medium of the ballot, that we can be
sure that in the, vital post-war days
ahead we Shall have hi the state o_
Michigan a government of their own
choosing."

USO CAMP SHOWS
PERFORMER HERE
NEXT WEDNESDAY
War Fund Workers Report
Meeting Wednesday
Evening
USO-Camp Shows is a bridge between the men of the armed forces
and the folks at home, says Harriette
Henning, USO-Camp Shows performer.
Miss Henning, who has travelled
thousands of miles as a USO-Camp
Shows performer in the European
Theatre of Wav and in this country,
is on a speaking tour under the sponsorship of the National Wav Fund
with which the Clave County War
Fund is affiliated and will speak iu.
Clave and Harrison next week.
"When I first began to dance for
USO-Camp Shows," said Miss Henning
"I thought I would like to make one
trip overseas and then vetuvn to
Bvoadway to resume a move ov less
normal career—but that one tour
quickly put an. end to such idle
thoughts. Like many other performers, I have resolved to do no more civilian entertaining for the duration
. . . for the GI's ave so eager to meet
and talk with someone from home.
We feel that at least fifty per cent
of our work is an effort to bridge the
gap between you and the fighting
front, 'I can never again take the
simple things for granted aud it wmH
be doubly ,so with our boys. AIsOj.
with people in the service there's «.
feeling of interdependence and friendly cooperation .that is most .heartwarming. I guess jitfs ithe ;GoJ_en
Rule learned the-hard way.; and .wheit
you learn it that way At -sticks.
"We eat with them, :Play games an_
go to the camp movies \W;ith them. We
bring them all the 'latest news Iiom
the states, and assure them the folks
at home are not suffenirg from ration'
ing and other war time restrictiona.
That, believe it or not, seems to b&
their chief concern.
"When we tell them how little the
war has touched the home town and
how the home front is backing then,
up in their fight—they are .relieved
and happy again. In general, home
becomes lmlre ot a reality* and le_s of
a dream to them.
"Army censors report letters written, by the men increase fifty-per cent
after they have been visited by .a USO*
Camp Shows unit. They have their
memories of home refreshed and .they
have something to write about. Nft
matter how isolated our boys are,
,they always manage to have a bit of
the atmosphere of the States about
them. To be sure, you'll find some
changes, when they come back, but I
think mostly changes for the foejKei>
I know I've come back witjh a whole
new set of values, ,,
"This USO-Camp Shows work, supported by you through the .National
War Fund and your awn (community
war fund, is a combined ^operation, dt
good will, It is doing things that you.
would want to do if you were there."
Miss Henning will speak to high
school and junior high school students
(grades seven through twelve) ana
any townspeople who may wish .to .•attend at the Clare High School auditorium at 3:30 o'clock next Wednesday afternoon, October ISth.
She will also speak at a workers report meetings in the Harrison school

FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 13, 1944 New Series Vol. 53, No. % Farmers' Night Dinner Postponed Until October 31 BLOOD PLASMA SAVES LIFE HERE LAST WEEK END Casualties A Clave High School Pioneer foot- 'toll team -hat had the advantage of ■more experienced players than the 1943 starting squad, but just had not "got to going" went down to Shepherd Friday afternoon, September 29th, to( open the high school grid season and ioutgained their opponents on yardage and completed more first downs, but just didn't seem to be able to get the ball over the goal line to scoi-e. The locals played a good defensive game, but with five linemen who haa not had a great deal of experience and •the punting not up to par, the locals didn't cash in on their gains. Shepherd's scrappy squad could not be considered superior to the green and white but were on theiv toes every minute and held the Clave boys to a scoreless tie. Clare 13—Reed City 6 The Clare Pioneers spotted a strong Reed City football team six points in the early minutes of theiv contest last Friday, and then made a fine come back to win 13-6. Reed City's touchdown came as a result of a bad pass from center, combined with a short kick that gave them possession of the ball on the Pioneer 35. From there Reed City roared over the goal line in six plays. The try for point failed. The Reed City fans had hardly settled down to enjoy what appeared to be a tout, when Joe Meth- ner, on a quick opening play, raced 65 yards to knot the score. Bud Roda- baugh's placement split the uprights aud the Pioneers took the lead. From that point, Clare played a kicking game, being content to let Reed City wear themselves out in an effort to regain the lead. At this stage of the game, it was Hartshorn's quick kicking that kept the Reeds bottled up in their own territory. Early in the fourth quarter, a short kick gave Clare the ball in enemy territory and the Pioneers went to work, carrying the ball to the 22. Here the Reed City defense stiffened and Hartshorn punted out on the 12 yard line. Reed City immediately kicked with Clare getting the ball on the Reed City 35. Two plays to the weak side set the stage for the perfect play of the evening, a bit of razzle-dazzle end ing with a pass from Methner to Sch neider, who was all alone iu the end zone. The try for point failed and Clare led 13-6. Reed City gave the Pioneer fans a chill in the last two minutes of the game when they pulled a surprise play to place the ball inside the Clare twenty yard marker. Here, with hard luck in the shape of a possible tie breathing down the back of theiv necks, the Clare line stiffened to take possession of the ball. The game ended two plays later. The Pioneers have a light team this year but one that promises to perform like a champion if the boys continue to play with the same dash and fire they displayed at Reed City. Foss, Hartshorn and Methner are fine backs I a who can really go places with the ball as long as they have the kind of line play that was given them at Reed City.' Too much credit cannot be given the Pioneer line which oUtcharged their heavier opponents on both offense and. defense. I It has been deemed advisable to, postpone the annual Chamber of Com-i miwe Farmers* Night dinner, which State's Free had been scheduled for next Tuesday evening, to Tuesday evening, October 31, when the farmers of the community will be the guests of the business', and professional men of the city. •!

The occupants of the lutzi car were brought to the offices of Dr. G. C. Born, where Mrs. Iutzi was found to be suffering internal injuries and a bruised head, which confined her to her bed for several days. Mr. Iutzi was tveated for lacerations on the head and Miss Elsie Iutzi for internal injuries and bruises and both weve veleased.

Ruiapaughs Injured Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Rulapaugh, of Clare R-4, were injured in a traffic accident Thursday evening of last week when their automobile is reported to have been struck by a car driven by Milo M. Elliott, also of Clave R-4, at .the highway intersection of old US- 10 and the county road throe miles east of Clare. The Rulapaugh car is reported to have overturned several times. The Ruiapaughs were driving west on their way to Clave, when the Elliott cav approached from the south and neither driver noticed the other car j coming until it was too late to avert collision. The view at this intersection is obstructed by a house standing near the road and accidents have occurred here befove.

"Development of the program was the work of the late Dr. C. C. Young, as director of the state health lab- orutories. It was he who conceived the plan to give to the civilian population benefits of plasma, which had saved so many lives of those wounded on the nation's battlefields. "It was started and has flourished as a cooperative venture in which the American Red Cross enlists blood donors from a public so cooperative that the health laboratories, which process and distribute the plasma, could not handle all of the volunteers. "Governor Kelly paid tribute to the program and to Doctor Young in an article appearing under his signature printed in the September issue of Public Health, monthly bulletin of the state health department. " 'No one,' the governor's article said, 'can say just how many lives have been saved in Michigan by this free blood plasma, but doctors in 47 counties now have plasma available free for any person who needs it. Stories come back to us" of the miracles which plasma makes possible.' "He pointed to the use of plasma to save the lives of war workers in Lansing when, as a result of an outbreak of food poisoning, the victims were so numerous a local hospital could not find enough rooms for them and had to place many of them in its corridors, some of the patients so ill they had no perceptible pulse when they reached the hospital, (Continued PP Page Eight} KILLED fN ACTION Postmaster and Mrs, Frank Jackson have received word tfiather nephew,' Neal Mayrand, the son of Mv. and j Mrs. Eavl Mayrand, of Ferndale, was killed in action in Francie September 22nd, He was in a Tank Corps with General George S.

John R. Dethmers, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee and Republican candidate for Auditor General called attention to the Iinpor tance of registering by October 18th for the state-wide general election next November 7th. In a statement issned from the Republican State headquarters at Lansing Dethmers said "It is the duty of every public-spirited citizen regardless of his or her political affiliation to vote. Under our form of government this is the only way by which the people may retain control of the vital governmental processes affecting their daily welfare." Pointing out that Wednesday, October 18th is the last day for registration for the November 7th election, Dethmers cautioned Michigan voters that those who have not voted in Michigan for two years may under the law have had their registrations cancelled by city or township clerks in townships and cities having a popu lation of 5,000 or more. This may have been done also, Dethmers said, in townships and cities having a population, of less than 5,000 if the legislative bodies of those townships or cities have adopted such a resolution. The Republican State chairman de- lcared that in all cases of doubt as to whether or not a voter is propei'ly registered it is well to check with the township or city clerk of the township or city in which the voter resides for the purpose of determining whether or not the voter is properly registered. "Only in this way" Dethmers said, "can the voters of Michigan be absolutely sure of availing themselves of their right of franchise on. next November 7th.-v In these vital times it is the plain duty of every citizen to avail himself of that right. And it is only by a complete expression of the desires of all the people, through the medium of the ballot, that we can be sure that in the, vital post-war days ahead we Shall have hi the state o_ Michigan a government of their own choosing."

""•••^ USO CAMP SHOWS PERFORMER HERE NEXT WEDNESDAY War Fund Workers Report Meeting Wednesday Evening USO-Camp Shows is a bridge between the men of the armed forces and the folks at home, says Harriette Henning, USO-Camp Shows performer. Miss Henning, who has travelled thousands of miles as a USO-Camp Shows performer in the European Theatre of Wav and in this country, is on a speaking tour under the sponsorship of the National Wav Fund with which the Clave County War Fund is affiliated and will speak iu. Clave and Harrison next week. "When I first began to dance for USO-Camp Shows" said Miss Henning "I thought I would like to make one trip overseas and then vetuvn to Bvoadway to resume a move ov less normal career—but that one tour quickly put an. end to such idle thoughts. Like many other performers, I have resolved to do no more civilian entertaining for the duration . . . for the GI's ave so eager to meet and talk with someone from home. We feel that at least fifty per cent of our work is an effort to bridge the gap between you and the fighting front, 'I can never again take the simple things for granted aud it wmH be doubly ,so with our boys. AIsOj. with people in the service there's «. feeling of interdependence and friendly cooperation .that is most .heartwarming. I guess jitfs ithe ;GoJ_en Rule learned the-hard way.; and .wheit you learn it that way At -sticks. "We eat with them, :Play games an_ go to the camp movies \W;ith them. We bring them all the 'latest news Iiom the states, and assure them the folks at home are not suffenirg from ration' ing and other war time restrictiona. That, believe it or not, seems to b& their chief concern. "When we tell them how little the war has touched the home town and how the home front is backing then, up in their fight—they are .relieved and happy again. In general, home becomes lmlre ot a reality* and le_s of a dream to them. "Army censors report letters written, by the men increase fifty-per cent after they have been visited by .a USO* Camp Shows unit. They have their memories of home refreshed and .they have something to write about. Nft matter how isolated our boys are, ,they always manage to have a bit of the atmosphere of the States about them. To be sure, you'll find some changes, when they come back, but I think mostly changes for the foejKei> I know I've come back witjh a whole new set of values, ,, "This USO-Camp Shows work, supported by you through the .National War Fund and your awn (community war fund, is a combined ^operation, dt good will, It is doing things that you. would want to do if you were there."
