Regulations for
Ice Fishing Have
Been Changed
Ice fishermen who are readying
shelters to be placed on lakes, ponds,
or streams whenever the weatherman
gives them a break are reminded by
the conservation department of some
changes in regulations.
Most important, perhaps, is one that
requires that all structures and shelters placed on the ice shall be identified with the name and address of the
owner, placed on the outside in letters
not less than two inches high.
Structures must be removed also before ice conditions become unsafe.
Failure to identify, or to identify incorrectly ownership of such structures
or to remove them as inquired, are
violations and sufficient cause
prosecution.

Mailing of Consumers Power Company service bills carrying the 75 per
cent reduction ordered by the Michigan Public Service Commission is
now under way and will continue
through December, Division Manager,
Mr. Da H. Gerhard, said today.
"The Commission's order specified
that the reduction should be made on
all bills rendered to electric, gas and
steam-heating cutsomers during December, 1944," Mr. Gerhard said.
"Some customers therefore will receive the benefit of the reduction on
bills mailed during the first few days
of the month, while others will find
the reduction on bills rendered late
in the month.
Usually, Mr. Gerhard pointed out,
the bill rendered iu December and carrying the 75 per cent reduction will
cover service during a period lying
partly in November. The billing period varies among groups of customers,
a portion of bills falling due each
working day of the month.
The Commission's order provides
for a total reduction of from $3,750,600
to $4,000,000 on Consumers bills for
December. Of this amount, 85% per
cent would normally have gone to the
Federal Government in Washington
as. "excess profits taxes." The other
14% per cent represents a reduction
in the Company's cash receipts.
Mr. Gerhard pointed out that the
term "excess profits tax" is a misnomer, as applied to Consumers Power Company, since the tax is ^ot
levied on excessive profits but on the
Company's taxable income in excess
of the average for the base years 1936-
39.
"Actually, this 'excess profits tax' is
a war tax designed to drain off income
resulting from war business," Mr. Gerhard said. "The Com'pany's net income, after taxes, actually is lower
than it was before th© war."
Mr. Gerhard added that the Company is not complaining about wartime taxes, nor about the Commission's order for a 75 per cent reduction
of December, 1944 bills. Less than a
day after the Commission's order was
issued, the Company announced its
intention to comply.
at their meeting Thursday evening of
last week in .the Library room at the
Hotel Doherty are as follows: Emil
Pfister, Principal of the Clare School,
Chairman; John Rodabaugh, representative of fraternal organizations, as
Vice Chairman;Mrs. Earl Sternaman,
societies, as Secretary; Mrs. Harold
Fleming, of the Red Cross, Treasurer.
Members of the executive board are
Rev, Charles B. Hahn, Mayor Robert
Archambault, Mrs. N. A. Elden, of the
Study Club, and Conrad Walker, of the

NEED THE SUPPORT

Back Them Up by Investing
In All the Bonds You

Don Whitehead, Associated Press
War Correspondent, writes: "Thousands of new gold stars will appear in
the windows of American homes this
winter. The hardest and most savage
fighting of all the invasion is tinder
way.
"Allied armies are locked with the
Germans in the first of great battles
of decision. They are battles which
will decide when the war will end, The
Nazis have no chance of winning the
war but they are not yet defeated.
"Those of us who have watched the
slow, costly progress of the American
First Army against the fanatically
stubborn enemy can foresee no early
end of the war
"A winter campaign seems inevitable. The Germans are showing no
indications of cracking up either on
the military or home fronts."
Our boys, Clare county boys, are
fighting with the First Army, and the
number of new gold stars to appear
here this winter will be measured in
no minor part by the support they get
on the home front—the rifles and shells
the tanks and trucks, the food and
medical supplies, which are sent to
them now—and all these things must
be and will be paid for by the money

FIRE DESTROYS
CENTER METHODIST
CHURCH SUNDAY
Considerable Improvement
of Property Nearing
Completion
A fire, believed to have started in
the blower room of the air conditioning plant of the Center Methodist
Church, three miles west of Rosebush,
completely destroyed the building
Sunday morning.
The fire was discovered during the
Sunday school hour and it was thought
to have been extinguished when a pail
of water was thrown upon it, but later
it was found that the fire-had entered
the walls of the church and that it
had broken out through the roof and
belfry.
All available fire extinguishers were
put into use by volunteers and the
Clare Fire Department and State High
way Fire Department from Mt. Pleasant were summoned, but the fire was
beyond control when the flre depart*
ments arrived, and within an hour and
a half of its outbreak the building was
burned to the foundations.
Rev. H. W. Kilgren, pastor of the
church, and his congregation had recently redecorated the church inside
and out, applied celotex to the base
ment Walls and had art glass windows
installed in the building.- Other improvements, including a water system
in connection with the nearby school
building, were nearing completion."
Although an adjustment had not
been made, it was estimated that the
loss was approximately $10,000, with
$5,000 insurance oa the building and
$700 on the contents.
Plans for reconstruction are already
being considered and building will be
started as soon as priorities and material can be procured for a fireproof
building.
In the meantime, services will be
held in the basement of the School
buildingi with Sunday School at lOiOO
o'clock and preaching services at
11:00 o'clock.

Cpl Pat Walters
Commended by Lt.
Col. Jas. W. Wall
Corporal Patrick J, Walters, son of
Mr. and Mrs. V. Walters, of Clare, has
been commended by Lieutenant Colonel James W. Wall, Timmonsville, S.
C, commanding officer of an VIII Air
Force Service Command unit in England, for his high degree of skill in
performing his present duty as aircraft dope and fabric worker.
Employed as a painter by General
Motors Co., Pontiac,, Mich., Corporal
Walters entered the service in December, 1942, for duty with the corps of
engineers. He acted in the capacity
of instructor at a corps of engineer
camouflage school until December,
1943, when he was transferred to the
Army Air Forces. Through experience
acquired by work in civilian life ahd
with the corps of engineers, Corporal
Walters aids his unit with the painting
of insignias on aircraft, painting of
signs, motor vehicles, packing cases,
etc., and in the repairing of battle
damaged control surfaces.
During his absence, his wife, Mrs.
Olive Walters, is residing at Route 2
Clare. He has been overseas since
November, 1943.
Other corporations have bought and
will buy their share of bends in meeting Clare county's $108,000 corporation quota; but the one that is going,
to require the utmost efforts of the
War Finance Committee and Gallants
and the one hundred per cent cooperation of all, is the county's $133,000 E
Bond quota. These are the bonds that
will be purchased by the wage earner
and farmer, the average business and
professional man—tlie fathers and
mothers, the wives and brothers and
sisters, the friends and neighbors, of
the boys over there Avho need our help
now more than ever before. And
these are the bonds that are not being
bought in. Clare county as they should
be.
Although every red-blooded American citizen should be more than willing to make this comparatively small
contribution, we are not asked to give
our money, but we are asked only to
loan it to our Government at a good
rate of interest. Invest NOW in your
future—in your country's future—in
the Sixth War Loan. The bonds you
buy today may be the bonds that will
buy the munitions of war that will give
our boys a chance to win the war and
an honorable peace—the chance to return to us once more.
