A tour of the hospital was made, including the occupational therapy ward
and much of the splendid work these
boys are,, doing was on display and
many of the guests made purchases*
to take home.*-
Already there have been 1500 World
War II veterans treated in the psycho-
neuratic ward, with only 400 of these
remaining yet for further treatment.
There are also many patients yet from
World War I.
There are seventeen veterans from
District Ten in the hospital <and these
were presented with a little token of
remembrance. The Clare group also
visited Willis Richards (better remembered here as Willis McCrimmon) and
presented him with a gift.
Anyone who missed the meeting last
Monday night will never really realize
what a fine meeting and program.they
missed.
Some of the brothers came early and
brought scythes and rakes aud cleaned
the hall yard before the meeting.
Grange opened in regulai- form, and
after the business was taken care of,
the meeting was turned over to the
men who were to put on the entertainment for the evening. /
The program started oft' with the
whole group singing, "When Granges
Get Together," accompanied at tho
piano by Dr. Dora Stockman.
Our very capable brother, Icem
Slentz, gave a reading concerning an
adventure of a mythical character
with a sj-runk.   What a playmate.
Due to the very busy season, some
of the brothers previously listed on
the program were not there, so the
program had to be altered somewhat.
At this time a barber shop Quartet
was introduced, consisting of the master of ceremonies and three other
brothers. Their various selections,,
were enjoyed very much by the sisters
of the lodge.
Brother Forrest Brewer, having just
gotten back from a fishing trip up in
Canada, couldn't resist telling us about
the journey and the mighty big fish
he caught, something like sixty-two
inches long.   Is that right Forrest?
Our -Worthy Overseer portrayed or
betrayed his talent as a vocalist, self
accompanied by a* guitar, by singmg
three selections.   Very good F.Iry.
Scouting around among the brothers we found another reading.
Brother Walter White told us of Jhe
hired man milking the cow and the
procedure he went through, to end
up with a pail of milk over his head
and the cow scampering away to find
greener pastures.
To climax the evening's entertainment,   eight  of   the   men   formed   a

Women Golfers
Take Match From
Alma July 18th
The Alma Women golfers were
guests of the Clare women at Twin
Elms Wednesday for a match. Five
foursomes were in competition and of
these Clai;e won four and tied the
fifth. Mrs. Annabel Hampton had low
score for Clare, a 46.
Several social players came from
Alma and quite a number were out for
Clare, having a very entertaining day.
The Clare women will go to Mt.
Pleasant next Wednesday to play a
match there. Anyone "wishing transportation call Mrs. Harriet .JSTaumeS.
E. J. Anderson, Chairman State Sal
vage Committee, Detroit, recently advised County Salvage Chairman P< D.
Gibson that less than one-half the
needed tin was being collected. Unless we take steps to get more salvage
tin to flowing back to .the war. plants
production of critical items will be
curtailed. One of the big If's in new
car production is IF there will be
enough tin.
Japan still controls the source of
90 per cent of our former supply of
raw tin. During recent months the
tonnage of salvage tin collections has
dropped about 50%. Too many of us
are taking it for granted that the
war is over, the Japs are "in the bag."
This attitude of over confidence is
bound to prolong the war and cost
many more lives.
Wholesale grocery firms have
»greed to haul salvaged tin from their
retail dealer's stores to their headquarters city. Local retail grocery
men have been contacted by the salvage committee through the wholesalers to provide a tin collection receptacle in their stores. Store patrons
are urged to salvage all tin cans, process them hy cleaning, cutting out
both ends and flattening by placing
on the floor and stepping on the cans,
then take them to your grocery store.
AH too often Boy Scouts and others
collecting tin cans have found housewives and others taking an unfair op
portunity to dispose of other metal
objects, bits of garbage or other rubbish in the tin cans. Those who practice this sabotage are merely hindering our own efforts and helping the
enemy.
The amounts of tin salvaged are
small buj; vital in comparison to other
metals. There is no financial reward
to those who handle the collections.
Our reward is the Freedom to live
where we do and freedom to do pretty
much as we please in peace time.. Is
your Freedom worth a few discarded
tin cans?
'keep consumption in line with avail
'able supplies.
Soap Rationing Denied
The Department of Agriculture has
announced in Washington that there
is ho need for rationing soap, claiming
it would be almost impossible to improve on the soap industry's own
methods of distribution.
A representative of the department
said, "If we could stop these remarks
which lead to panic buying and hoarding, we would have no shortage of
soap."
