SABELL
MEMORIAL FIELD
TO BE IMPROVED
Committee  and   Township
Board to Develop
War Memorial
A long cherished dream is shaping up into a happy reality for Rosebush and surrounding community. At
a combined meeting of committee and
township board, held in the Earl Willey home Tuesday night, plans were
laid for the financing, laying out and
managing of the seventeen acre tract
which is to become the Isabella Township Memorial Field,
A group of interested citizens met
last spring to discuss the .idea, which
was being currently broached in various local organizations, that Isabella
township should have a memorial for
the service men and women. General
feeling was that this should be something .which, would serve as a useful,
living and beautiful token of the deep
pride and appreciation with which the
people of the township regard their
uniformed heroes.
A playground and recreational field
has been a long recognized need in
the community. The township board
was invited to meet with the citizens,
to discuss the possibility of the township participating in the purchase of
a suitable acreage for the project.
A committee, composed of Fred Ac-
kernmn, Harvey Lowery, Preston
Johnson, Carl Baird and Robert Hunter, was named to work with the board
on the purchase of land.
After investigating the desirability
of the properties available, the board
and the committee agreed on the purchase of tlie Helen Johnston Hadley
property, a seventeen-acre tract, lying
on the west side of US-27, at the north
end of the village of Rosebush. Negotiations are now complete and the
township has purchased the property,
according to Earl Willey, who reported for the board at the Tuesday night
joint meeting. The deed has been recorded in the name of the township.
The planning cominittee^will seed a
portion, possibly ten acres to a cash
crop, placing all money accruing from
such, in a building fund, with Which
a community building may, at some
future date, be erected.
The remaining seven acres will be
placed in immediate use as a recreation center and site for the memorial.
Preston Johnston and Roy Matteson
have been named as the co-chairmen
of the finance committee and have set
Tuesday, August 21st, as the date of
the opening of their campaign for
funds. A goal of $1500.00 has been
set, which amount is necessary to
equip the grounds with proper recreational facilities. This committee has
named Maurice McConnell, Lawrence
Robert and Evert Bowerman as captains, and additional workers will be
named and notified at a later date.
A pep meeting will be held in the
basement of the Methodist Church on
August 21st, at 8:30 p. m. at Which
time the workers will receive last
minute instructions. A group of local
women will be on hand to serve ice
cream and cake, at the close of the
evening.
"Various other committees, previously named by chairman Ackerman,
made their reports to the joint group
as follows: Harvey Lowery, tennis
courts; Carl Baird, memorial board;
Russell Johnston, water facilities and
ice pond; Roy Matteson, baseball and
equipment; Preston Johnston, playground equipment.
A new committee, headed- by Miss
Faith Johnston, was named. Includ-

SEVERAL JUICES
.POINT FREE SINCE
SUNDAYMORNING
Cheaper Adult Shoes to Be
Released for Seven
Weeks
The OPA district office in Saginaw
Saturday announced that, effective
Sunday at 12:01 a. m., August 5, point
value of the following canned and bottled juices is reduced to zero: Tomato, mixed vegetable, grapefruit, orange and grapefruit juice blend. Orange   juice   was   already   point   free.
John F. Kessel, district director,
said the action was taken because
of additional three million cases cut
in government requirements on tomato juice, He said citrus juices were
included in the reduction to the zero
point value because they are frequently used as substitutes and the expected' good civilian supply from the
coming pack, starting iu November.
Wholesalers will be notified by postal
card regarding inventory reports.
The Department of Agriculture has
announced that civilians will get an
extra ten million cases of the principal canned vegetables from this
year's pack, an increase of approximately, ten per cent. Smaller amounts
Of canned fruits and fruit juices will
be required for Government purchase.
Some Shoes  Ration  Free
Shoes retailing for $3.50 or less will
be ration free August 27 to October
13, according to an OPA announcement made Saturday. This release
will apply to adult shoes only.
WPB officials have said in Washington that shoe rationing will most
likely continue until early in 1946,
with the quick surrender of Japan the
only factor that might bring shoe rationing to an end before this time.

honey and light
corn syrup popular;
sugar substitutes
May Be Used Satisfactorily in
Place of Sugar for
Canning Fruits
Here's a last word on sugar before
the canning season surrounds you.
Specialists in foods and nutrition at
Michigan State college have put all
their sugar-saving ideas into one basket to help you. To can all that you
can this summer, try these suggested
methods. You may be sold on the old
way, but this seems to be the year to
get out of our canning rut. Perhaps a
new taste thrill is in store for us.
First, use honey to sweeten canned
fruit. Substitute cup for cup up to
one third of the sugw called for. That
is, in place of each cup cf sugar, you
can use half a cup cf sugar end half
a cup of honey.
Or, if you're very short of sugar,
pack fruit without sugar—covering it
with its own juice- rather than with a
sugar syrup. You can add sugar from
ycur rations as you U3e the fruit next
winter.
Another suggestion is to replace,
part of the sugar requirement with
light corn syrup. In place of each
cup of sugar, use one-third cup" of
light com syrup and two-thirds cup
[ot sugar.
Still another tip is to can tree-ripened fruit, Fruit ripened on the tree
has more natural sugar.
An old trick that may" have been
forgotten is to bring out the natural
sweetness of fruit by adding salt. Put
one-eighth to one-fourth of a level
teaspoon of salt into each quart of
fruit.
The last suggestion concerns what
not to do. You should not use molasses or brown sugar for canning. The
flavors of these two sweetening
agents overpower the fruit, give it a
dark color, and may danse Spoilage.

HOSPITAL PUBLIC
RELATIONS GROUP
TO IEETTUESDAY

interest in maintenance of adequate
hospital facilities for the community,
regardless of race, creed, or financial
condition of the patient; to cooperate

MAJOR RAILROADS
PREDICT TREMENDOUS
POSTWAR EMPLOYMENT
Pere Marquette and Affiliated
Lines To Tell of Industrial Progress
The Chesapeake & Ohio Lines) comprising the Chesapeake & Ohio, Nickel
Plate and Pere Marquette Railways,
is commencing a series of advertisements in this isue of The Sentinel, reporting on the prospects for postwar
employment in the industries served
by the railroads,
Since this campaign represents a
considerable departure from the usual
railroad advertising, it may be of interest to Sentinel readers to know the
reasons that prompted it.
They are:
1. The obvious growing concern
among workers lest we enter another
period of unemployment after the war.
2. Little known facts of the pent-
up demand for civilian goods, and the
tremendous technological progress being made by industry, both of which
are bound to bolster employment to a
-degree that is difficult to overestimate.
It is the conviction of officials of
these railway lines that if people
could know what the postwar demand
for goods will mean in terms of actual
jobs; if they could know of the plans
business management has for new products, better products, products at
lower prices, and the vast number of
jobs that these projects are sure to
create, people would be optimistic
rather than fearful.
That is the purpose behind the current campaign. We believe the man
in the street, on, the farm and in industry should know of these projects
and of the security they offer for him
.ind his family.
As an exhibit from just one geographical section, the Pere Marquette has
undertaken to tell the people of this
country something of what industries
located on its right-of-way are doing
to provide postwar jobs. The campaign will cover ten industries: coal,
glass, paper, steel, household appliances, agricultural machinery, packing, chemicals, automotive, and food.
There are many other enterprising
industries the railroads would like to
feature if' they had unlimited resources. However, they do believe
that those listed will serve as convincing illustrations that American business is not only interested in promoting full employment, but that its research and technological developments hold out real promise that general employment is an attainable goal.

DAY CELEBRATION

Feature Day's
Program
Friday, August 3—Eagle, behind the
four hit pitching of Miller, took second place in the Clare County Softball
League standings at the expense of
the hapless K C 8-0. Eagle solved the
slants of Crane for nine safeties and
in addition made good use of five K C
bobbles. With a record of five wins
and two defeats, Eagle still has a
chance for a tie for first place.
In the exhibition game with the
Evart Indians, Brown Corners got ofli
to an early four run lead only to lose
in the eighth inning 5-4. Virgil Newman was both. tbe-„stor and, the goat
of the evening for tlie Browns. It was
his bat that brought in the Brown
runs and an overthrow to third base
that let in the winning run. It was a
tough game to lose but an exciting
one to watch. So far, no team has
been able to defeat the Evart Indians.
Maybe Temple will turn the trick this
Friday.
Monday, August 6—For six innings
Houghton Drugs looked like champs,
going into the seventh inning on the
long end of a 3-2 score in their game
against Brown. Corners. Then came
the deluge as the Browns pushed
seven runs across and then stilled the
Houghton bats in the last half inning
to win 8-3 and retain a mathematical
Chance for a tie for first place. If the
Browns can win the remainder of
their games, including the last of the
season with the Masons, they will be
in a three way tie for first with the
Masons and Eagle.
The lowly K C's rared back on their
hind legs in the second gaihe of the
evening to hand the Moline Constructions a 6-1 defeat, Jim Crane, besides
pitching a fine game for the winners,
helped his own cause with a long
triple in the fifth inning. Doherty
also hit a three base knock. The
losers were held to three hits while
committing five errors.

T. GEO. STERNBERG
DIST. ENFORCEMENT
ATTORNEY FOR OPA
Succeeds Edward C. Mac Rae
Who Returns to Private
Law Practice
The appointment of T. George Sternberg as District Enforcement Attorney for the Saginaw OPA District, effective immediately was announced
today by John F. Kessel, District Director. Sternberg succeeds Edward
C, MacRae who resigned August 1 to
re-enter private law practice.
"Mr. Sternberg's appointment," Kessel said, assures the continuance of a
policy of vigorous, fearless, and aggressive enforcement of rationing and
price control regulations in order to
carry out the national program of fair
distribution of scarce commodities,
and to hold the line on prices of
commodities which are under price
regulation."
Sternberg has been chief attorney
of the food unit of the enforcement
division, in the OPA district office
since March 1944, He was formerly
prosecuting attorney of Iosco county
and an Assistant Attorney General of
the State of Michigan. During the^
time he -was on the staff of the At-!
torney General he was assigned to the
State Banking Department as legal
adviser to the banking commissioner.
Commenting on his Hew appointment, .Sternberg said that "it is the
desire, of this office that those wlio
through needless neglect, inexcusable
ignorance or designing disregard of
wartime price control and rationing
regulations, which constitute the law
of the land, be brought to account for
their violations."
Sternberg added that "those persons who make every effort to comply
with vthe regulations and who are
patriotic enough to do so to help in
the war effort, should be free from
illegal and- unpatriotic competition."
It is with great happiness that the
farmers iu the vicinity of Rosebush,
are now assured of having an elevator*
Last November 9th fire completely
destroyed the Rosebush elevator," on.
which Lou Moon had spent consider*
able money in order to give as com*
plete service to the , farmers as
possible. This fire was a great blow ■
to Mr, and Mrs. Moon, who owned
the eleveator, and for some time there
was indecision in "their minds .whether
they would rebuild or not, but some
staunch friends gave both their en*
couragement and money and a* corporation was formed and on January 3rd
of this year the new building was
started. Then it looked like a big
job, but much credit is due to the
support and fine work the farmers
lent and now the building is about
completed.
One unit, with dimensions of thirty-
six by one hundred and fifty feet, will
house the office, seed room, farm supply room and feed room on the first
floor; and an the basement of this
building will be housed the Federal
Egg Grading Station, storage rooms,
grinding machinery and electric con*
trol room.
The egg grading station includes an.
egg grading room measuring twenty-
four by thirty feet; a twenty-four by
thirty foot cooler for egg storage,
equipped with blower type electric
refrigeration, with a capacity of 1200'
cases or 36,000 dozens of eggs; omr-
pressor room and egg breaking room*
Unit number two, the grain elevator, is forty by forty-six feet in di1
mensions and rises seventy-two feet
from the basement to the roof. This
elevator building has twelve bins with
a capacity of twenty-three thousand
bushels for the grain storage. All
grain machinery will be in this building. • ■
Mr. Moon has spared no expense
in securing the best and most modern
machinery and equipment*
The machinery in unit one includes
two Bauer Hammermills, two Saginaw
Mixers. Western Corn Shelter, corn,
cracker, etc., which have been installed to take care of the vast feed
business of the territory.
The machinery in the elevator unit
includes a Crippen Beau Cleaner with,
capacity of 1,000 bushels per hour and •
a Crippen Grain Cleaner of the same
capacity.   An -electric hoist has been*
installed which will  raise  the front *
end   of   trucks,   dumping   the   grain
through steel gratings in the driveway •
floor, from where it is .carried auto*.
matically  to  the elevator,  from  the
elevator   to   the   cleaners,   from   tbe-
cleaners to the scales and from the
scales into storage bins above.
The buildings are of cinder block
and steel construction throughout and
as near fireproof as possible. Sixty-
six fourteen inch piles driven twenty* *
one feet into the ground below the
elevator footing will carry a load of
fifteen hundred tons and seventy tons
of structural steel were used in the
construction of the buildings.
Harold Moline, of the Moline Construction Company, of Clare, erected
the buildings, William Moline installed the grain machiery and did the
mill, work fqr the grain elevator and
William Laubenthal did the electric
wiring throughout the two buildings.
It is Mr. Moon's intention to have,
