LEAGUE BOWLING
SEASON OPENS AT
CLAM ALLEYS
Butterfly League Started
With Four Entering
Its Ranks
This community can be very proud
of the fine fellowship spirit shown in
sports and games but especially proud
of the bowling spirit. "We now have
200 A.B.C. sanctioned bowlers and five
more teams that would like to be
placed., The business men of Clare
cooperated and sponsored most of the
teams.
The ladies teams are now all spon-
sored and soon will be wearing new
blouses or sweaters on the alleys
with their sponsor's name oh their
backs. The teams this season represent Midway Lunch, Freeman Oil Co.,
Clare Auto Parts, Clare Alleys, Twin
Elms Golf Club, Curt's Hamburgs, the
school mams and Louise's Flower
Shop.
In the City League Monday night,
the boys found the alleys good but the
pins hard to knock-over. On the first
shift, Martin of the Rosebush team,
was the only bowler to top the 200
mark and even with his 212, North
Bradley topped their 1946 count with
2137.
Harry Griswold, Jay Hendrie and
Ken Ritter started the Butterfly
League off in their first- games, with
94 - 83 and 99 respectively. Now we
are watching the Butterfly League
grow.
In the second shift, Jr. Luke came
to the top with a 224 'count, which
gave Houghton Drugs 2300, while 404
Mason could only tally 2190. As was
expected, Kiwanis No. 1 had high
count of the evening, 2360, while Ma-
han Construction settled for 2027 and
one butterfly score, T. Frey having
registered this.
The gals really opened the Bowliug
front with a "bang" Tuesday night,
showing scores that many men would
be proud to carry. Louise Gibbs, rolling for the Midway Lunch, started the
high scores with 202 in her first game,
finishing the three games with an
average of 155.
Alice Bradley, rolling: for Twin Elms
Golf Club, topped "this score in her
second game with 203, to sport a big
159 average for three games. These
scores are remarkable when you
check the records and find that only
one tally of 200 or over was made in
the entire last season and that one by
Dorothy Buzard. Tuesday Dorothy
was right up in there with two games
over 160.
It is regretted that Association President Dominic McConnell has been
confined to his home by illness and
was unable to bowl with his team
Wednesday evening.

ALLSTARS DEFEAT
LEATON TO FINISH
LEAGUE^ SEASON
Howard Pohl, of Beal City,
Turns in No Hitter
Last Sunday
The final game of the Central Michigan League turned out to be a thriller
with the Allstars beating Leaton 5 to l
when Howard Pohl, Beal City pitcher,
turned in a no hitter.
As is usual at the end of the regular schedule, the manager of the second place team selected players from
the rest of the teams to play the winners of the league in an Allstar game.
Beal City was second in the standing so their manager, Leo Sharer,
made his selections and was manager
of the Allstars Sunday at Leaton.
The game started out with five Beal
City players, one Shepherd player and
three Farwell players in the game, but
later changes were made.
The first inning was tame. Four
out of the six hit to the pitchers.
The second inning was full of TNT
and the Allstars pounded Cowden for
five hits and five rpins and started to
repeat in the third when Cowden came
out and Morris Graham stopped the'
Allstars cold and held them in check
the rest of the game.
Pohl, m the meantime, mowed down
the Leaton batters with only a few,
interruptions and no hits. Marshall
threw out a runner at first from right
field on what seemed to be a clean
single which was the nearest to a hit,
although Methner got on base on a
dizzy grounder which was later called
an error, justly.
The only score Leaton got was on a
walk, an error, a sacrifice, and at last
Pohl balked the runner home.
It was a fine game, sparkled here
and there by several fine plays by Ken
Cowden and Zawacki for Leaton and
several of the boys on the Allstars
team. A regular world series game
in fact and a very fitting end of a fine
season. —Gee

they return, to their homes to rehabilitate themselves and take up their
work where they were forced to leave
it, that all communities might enjoy

size of the Michigan Bell system nearly 50 per cent. It will reach out to
virtually all of the company's 252 exchanges. Interrupted by war, .the

company's 2,800 employees in the
armed forces but also for 2,000 new
telephone .workers. In addition,
thousands of jobs will be provided Indirectly for employees of sub-contractors, builders and suppliers.
Citing the company's No. 1 objective as providing service for the 125,-
000 now on the waiting list, Welch
cautioned against undue optimism.

and will be accelerated as rapidly as
possible," he said, "it Is of such magnitude that we still must ask the public's cooperation and patience."

PULPWOOD RECEIPTS
FAR BELOW NEEDS OF
LAKE STATES MILLS
Concern Over Shortage Shown
in President Truman's Reconversion Report
Fear that the present level of pulpwood production may not be sufficient
to meet expanding reconversion needs
for paper and paperboard was reflected in the report of July pulpwood receipts by tJ. S. mills, just released by
the Forest Products Bureau of the
War Production Board,
Domestic pulpwood receipts in July
placed at 1,388,212 cords by WPB, revealed a decline of 1.2% from the total of 1,404,397 cords reported in July
1944.
Total domestic receipts for the first
seven months of this year were given
at 9,037,819 cords, indicating a drop
of .8% from the first seven months of
1944 and approximately 3.3% below
the quota for the first seven months of
this year, based'upon an earlier government estimate of 16,000,000 cords
of pulpwood required to be produced
in 1945.
Recent expert predictions have held
that this 16,000,000 cord quota may
have' to be revised substantially upward to meet continuing military
need's together with enormously increased peacetime industrial requirements.

The end of rationing and control of
most commodities is on its way, but
just how far on its way is a matter oJ"
conjecture, and the question is—Did
United Press "jump off the deep end"
again or is **' someone "passing the
buck?"
Metropolitan newspapers carried a
Washington story Monday to,the el-"
feet that meat rationing would end
October 1st and shoe rationing between October 15th and November 1st,
only to have the story repudiated
Tuesday.
It was reported that Secretary of
Agriculture Clinton Anderson was In
favor of discontinuing meat rationing
September 1st but that Price Administrator Chester Bowles asked that
action, be delayed until OPA had reduced its paid field personnel, which
had been progressing well enough so
that OPA had agreed on the October
1st date.
It seems there is a good supply of
beef, lamb, mutton and poultry on the
market, but that the pork supply fs
still limited and it will be necessary
to continue rationing fats, oils and
sugar for some time.
Lynes Boomer, chairman, of the De~«
troit Food Emergency Committee, had*
predicted Sunday that unless meat rationing was discontinued immediately-
with slaughterers free to kill as much,
as they wanted to, meat would* stark
spoiling on market shelves..
Although Monday's story was denied'
by Acting Secretary of Agriculture J.-
B. Hutson and Administrator Bowles,-
the statement has not quieted" the ru--
mor that both meat and shoes may become point free about October'1.
Hutson is quoted as saying; "The*
Department and OPA are in agreement that meat rationing should be
ended as soon as supplies' are' sufficiently adequate and distribution is
sufficiently equitable to permit suefi-
action.
"However, they are also iii agree- -
ment that tlie present supply situation
does not "now make possible predictions of the time at which meat rationing can be ended."
By Tuesday evening the Department
of Agriculture ' and OPA had apparently "gotten together again" on the1
meat rationing issue and it was announced in Washington that all
cheeses had been made ration-free and
that food officials were conferring on
the possibility of an early end of meat
rationing.
Although no decision was made, it
was expected that Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson would maker
,an announcement concerning meat
rationing ' soon after returning- from
his vacation on Wednesday, with the
possibility of the termination of sucl&
rationing yet this month, although I-
may be necessary to "dish out" red*
points for meat for several weeks yetV
While cattle markets are running
considerably above last year's record'
levels for the period, pork is expected,
to continue to move more slowly for"
the remainder of the year.
Record crops of soy beans and peanuts, major sources of vegetable oils
for making shortening and margarine,
are predicted in official crop reports
and some quarters are forecasting the
end of all red point rationing by the
first of November.
Cream Restrictions Removed
The OPA District Office at SaglnaW
announced last Friday that milk deal-

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1945 New Series Vol, 53, No. 50 LEAGUE BOWLING SEASON OPENS AT CLAM ALLEYS Butterfly League Started With Four Entering Its Ranks This community can be very proud of the fine fellowship spirit shown in sports and games but especially proud of the bowling spirit. "We now have 200 A.B.C. sanctioned bowlers and five more teams that would like to be placed., The business men of Clare cooperated and sponsored most of the teams. The ladies teams are now all spon- sored and soon will be wearing new blouses or sweaters on the alleys with their sponsor's name oh their backs. The teams this season represent Midway Lunch, Freeman Oil Co., Clare Auto Parts, Clare Alleys, Twin Elms Golf Club, Curt's Hamburgs, the school mams and Louise's Flower Shop. In the City League Monday night, the boys found the alleys good but the pins hard to knock-over. On the first shift, Martin of the Rosebush team, was the only bowler to top the 200 mark and even with his 212, North Bradley topped their 1946 count with 2137. Harry Griswold, Jay Hendrie and Ken Ritter started the Butterfly League off in their first- games, with 94 - 83 and 99 respectively. Now we are watching the Butterfly League grow. In the second shift, Jr. Luke came to the top with a 224 'count, which gave Houghton Drugs 2300, while 404 Mason could only tally 2190. As was expected, Kiwanis No. 1 had high count of the evening, 2360, while Ma- han Construction settled for 2027 and one butterfly score, T. Frey having registered this. The gals really opened the Bowliug front with a "bang" Tuesday night, showing scores that many men would be proud to carry. Louise Gibbs, rolling for the Midway Lunch, started the high scores with 202 in her first game, finishing the three games with an average of 155. Alice Bradley, rolling: for Twin Elms Golf Club, topped "this score in her second game with 203, to sport a big 159 average for three games. These scores are remarkable when you check the records and find that only one tally of 200 or over was made in the entire last season and that one by Dorothy Buzard. Tuesday Dorothy was right up in there with two games over 160. It is regretted that Association President Dominic McConnell has been confined to his home by illness and was unable to bowl with his team Wednesday evening. .LEAGUE STANDINGS CITY LEAGUE Monday, September 10 T-Sgt.

As is usual at the end of the regular schedule, the manager of the second place team selected players from the rest of the teams to play the winners of the league in an Allstar game. Beal City was second in the standing so their manager, Leo Sharer, made his selections and was manager of the Allstars Sunday at Leaton. The game started out with five Beal City players, one Shepherd player and three Farwell players in the game, but later changes were made. The first inning was tame. Four out of the six hit to the pitchers. The second inning was full of TNT and the Allstars pounded Cowden for five hits and five rpins and started to repeat in the third when Cowden came out and Morris Graham stopped the' Allstars cold and held them in check the rest of the game. Pohl, m the meantime, mowed down the Leaton batters with only a few, interruptions and no hits. Marshall threw out a runner at first from right field on what seemed to be a clean single which was the nearest to a hit, although Methner got on base on a dizzy grounder which was later called an error, justly. The only score Leaton got was on a walk, an error, a sacrifice, and at last Pohl balked the runner home. It was a fine game, sparkled here and there by several fine plays by Ken Cowden and Zawacki for Leaton and several of the boys on the Allstars team. A regular world series game in fact and a very fitting end of a fine season. —Gee Mrs. Allie Adele Wilson, aged 79 years, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Murray, of Marion, Michigan, on Friday, September 7th, 1945, after/a three weeks illne&s, Allie Adele Goodenow, daughter of Charles and -Martha Goodenow, was born in Holly, Michigan, on December 17th, 1865, She moved with her parents to Clare in 1879, where she lived for many years.

PULPWOOD RECEIPTS FAR BELOW NEEDS OF LAKE STATES MILLS Concern Over Shortage Shown in President Truman's Reconversion Report Fear that the present level of pulpwood production may not be sufficient to meet expanding reconversion needs for paper and paperboard was reflected in the report of July pulpwood receipts by tJ. S. mills, just released by the Forest Products Bureau of the War Production Board, Domestic pulpwood receipts in July placed at 1,388,212 cords by WPB, revealed a decline of 1.2% from the total of 1,404,397 cords reported in July 1944. Total domestic receipts for the first seven months of this year were given at 9,037,819 cords, indicating a drop of .8% from the first seven months of 1944 and approximately 3.3% below the quota for the first seven months of this year, based'upon an earlier government estimate of 16,000,000 cords of pulpwood required to be produced in 1945. Recent expert predictions have held that this 16,000,000 cord quota may have' to be revised substantially upward to meet continuing military need's together with enormously increased peacetime industrial requirements. (Continued on Page Eight) The end of rationing and control of most commodities is on its way, but just how far on its way is a matter oJ" conjecture, and the question is—Did United Press "jump off the deep end" again or is **' someone "passing the buck?" Metropolitan newspapers carried a Washington story Monday to,the el-" feet that meat rationing would end October 1st and shoe rationing between October 15th and November 1st, only to have the story repudiated Tuesday. It was reported that Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson was In favor of discontinuing meat rationing September 1st but that Price Administrator Chester Bowles asked that action, be delayed until OPA had reduced its paid field personnel, which had been progressing well enough so that OPA had agreed on the October 1st date. It seems there is a good supply of beef, lamb, mutton and poultry on the market, but that the pork supply fs still limited and it will be necessary to continue rationing fats, oils and sugar for some time. Lynes Boomer, chairman, of the De~« troit Food Emergency Committee, had* predicted Sunday that unless meat rationing was discontinued immediately- with slaughterers free to kill as much, as they wanted to, meat would* stark spoiling on market shelves.. Although Monday's story was denied' by Acting Secretary of Agriculture J.- B. Hutson and Administrator Bowles,- the statement has not quieted" the ru-- mor that both meat and shoes may become point free about October'1. Hutson is quoted as saying; "The* Department and OPA are in agreement that meat rationing should be ended as soon as supplies' are' sufficiently adequate and distribution is sufficiently equitable to permit suefi- action. "However, they are also iii agree- - ment that tlie present supply situation does not "now make possible predictions of the time at which meat rationing can be ended." By Tuesday evening the Department of Agriculture ' and OPA had apparently "gotten together again" on the1 meat rationing issue and it was announced in Washington that all cheeses had been made ration-free and that food officials were conferring on the possibility of an early end of meat rationing. Although no decision was made, it was expected that Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson would maker ,an announcement concerning meat rationing ' soon after returning- from his vacation on Wednesday, with the possibility of the termination of sucl& rationing yet this month, although I- may be necessary to "dish out" red* points for meat for several weeks yetV While cattle markets are running considerably above last year's record' levels for the period, pork is expected, to continue to move more slowly for" the remainder of the year. Record crops of soy beans and peanuts, major sources of vegetable oils for making shortening and margarine, are predicted in official crop reports and some quarters are forecasting the end of all red point rationing by the first of November. Cream Restrictions Removed The OPA District Office at SaglnaW announced last Friday that milk deal- iContinued on Page Eight) LOUISE'S FLOWER SHOP Louise's Flower and Gift Shop will be open for business in the new location, across from the Doherty Hotel, this week end.
