We often experience a feeling of
pride as we walk past or enter our
fine modern post office building, but
-as we buy a few stamps, mail letters
and packages, register a letter or
purchase a money order, we seldom
think of the work involved in dispatching and delivering our mail.
Just to give our post office patrons
some idea of the business transacted
and the work involved in giving us
this service we are going to quote a
few figures gleaned from the records
of the Clare post office.

Clare P.T.A. to
Present "Janie
Monday Evening
The Clare P.T.A. have two worthy
projects this winter, that of buying
books for the school library, and giving a donation to the piano fund at the
school. How much they can do depends on you, and what help you will
give to the P.T.A.
To help earn some of this money,
the P.T.A. is sponsoring the play,
"Janie", which will be prseented in
the Clare School Auditorium Monday
evening, February 12th, by the C. M.
C. E. players and the stringed orchestra will make its second appearance
here. Mr. and Mrs. John Rodabaugh
are in charge of the tickets and all
members are urged to call at the Express Agency to get their tickets to
sell, and anyone wishing to purchase
tickets may get them from the express
office or the P.T.A. members.
The P.T.A. cleared nearly $100.00
from "Claudia," and are looking forward to adding to their funds, with a
good profit from "Janie," so that they
can help the Clare School in * these
two worthy projects.

Pfc. Wm. Smedley
In Perfect Yankee
Military Action
Pfc. William H. Smedley, 23, formerly of Flint, and now with the Seventh
Army in Germany, participated in
what a war correspondent termed the
impossible—a perfect military operation.
Working silently into a German-
held town, Pfc. Smedley, and 29 other
soldiers tackled a- buijdihg known to
house German tr.oopfj. Before the
Germans could get to their weapons
Pfc. Smedley, and his buddies had
liquidated them, and went on to complete their mission" without a casualty.
It took them exactly 17' minutes, and
made Hitler's, troops look like amateurs, said the dispatch.
Pfc, Smedley is the son of Mr. and
Mrs; Walter Smedley,.of Farwell, and
the above news item was the first
word his family had of him in six
weeks.
He was employed by the A. C. Spark
Plug Company, in Flint, before entering the service in 1942.
CLARE DARKENS
STREETS TO SAVE
war™ COAL
Voluntarily Commences the
'•Browti-out" First
.,*.-- of Past Week
Although McEwan street is no longer the "little white way" that we have
been, accustomed to, there hafe apparently been "no difficulty arising from
the darkening of advertising, display
windows, marquee and unnecessary
street lights during Clare's voluntary
"brown-out" the past* few nights, and
the realization that we are contributing to the war effort by saving electricity directly, and the nation's rapidly dwindling coal reserves indirectly,
has,been aniple.xecompenseifor those
participating.   ' .
Although the Government'oi'der concerning the use.of electricity was not
effective until Thursday, February 1st,
local business people responded splendidly to the Consumers Power Company's appeal in last'week's Sentinel
to "discontinue all "unnecessary use of
electricity'.' at once." The company announced that there Was no shortage
of electric generating capacity , hut
that there was a shortage of coal.,
The. Chamber of Commerce is cO--
Operating with local merchants in
making the "brown out" order as effective as' possible and the. following
merchants have indicated that they
would close their business places at
5:30 each evening except Saturday until further notice, as an added saving
in war-vital coal:
Wm. H. Bicknell & Co.
Davys'
Green's Clothing Store
Clare Hardware & Furniture Co.
Harris & Hirt
The Gamble Store
Gays' 5c and 10c Store r)
Grove Bros. 5c to $1.00 Store
It is expected that other business
places will adopt the 5:30 closing hour
and we shall be pleased to list their
names next week if they will notify
the Sentinel.
It has become customary to keep
many of our homes "lit up like a
church'.' but it is hoped that all citizens of the community will cooperate
in the "brown out" and not have unnecessary lights lit in their homes
until all munitions plants and transportation companies have ample coal
for the war. effort. ■

The principal topic of discussion at
the Community Council executive
meeting last week was that of promoting suitable entertainment for our
young people in an effort to provide?
wholesome recreation for them that
would encourage them to stay away
from places of questionable character
and environment. . .
The questions of. community dancing parties, a youth recreation center,
and a family night once each week
when, all members of the family would,
either spend the evening at home and.
"become acquainted" with each other
or seek entertainment as a family
group, were discussed pro and con
with much intei'est shown by those
attending the meeting.
Committees have been appointed to
investigate the feasibility and possibilities' of these projects and report
their findings to the council at the
next meeting. Youth centers are to be
investigated in some of the many
cities, large and small, within the
state where such centers r.ve now being enjoyed by the young people.
The local Ministerial Association
went on, record as being opposed to-
community dances but very much ia
favor of encouraging and promoting
youth projects which are now being
carried on in the city for our young
people, and beyond a doubt many
worthy youth projects could be expanded to take in larger circles than
are now benefitting by them.
This question of youth entertaih>-
ment and child delinquency is not a
new one, not one of this generation
only, but it is as old as time itself
and although never completely solved
in any generation, much has been
done in its solution and much remains
yet to be done.
As time itself progresses, so will
our youth progress. As new modes of
life come into our existatice, there
are always the benefits and always the
evils for young and old, but the young
are not -so well fitted by experience
to cope with the new problems and
the responsibility must ever rest witfe
parents and teachers and ministers
and public spirited citizens to assist
and guide our youth until such tim«
as they will be ready to gu^de (the
ycnjth of each succeeding generation.
Some have said that the automob'iie--
was a curse to our youth, but if'wfer'
will pause  and  reflect,  it takes' at
least one arm. to drive an automobile-
