MT. VERNON GRANGE DANCE
Dance at Mt. Vernon Gvamro, Saturday night:, September 22, for Grangers
and invited guests.
NOTICE
The Clare Chamber of Commerce
has for years used the slogan, "Where
the North Begins," in publicizing the
community as an ideal spot for year
around l-ecreation but only recently
have we learned just how true and
official this slogan is.
The editor received a letter this
week from Frank Davis, Secretary-
Manager of the East Michigan Tourist
Association, substantiating -this fact.
While Frank was driving north recently, with George Hurrell, of the Conservation Institute, Michigan State
College, Mr. Hurrell remarked that the
first hill north of Clare IS actually
where the North begins. At this
point there is a change in the-soil and
in the topography and in the type of
vegetation.«•»      .-..•» i^*'*"1*
Frank, who is a proficient perpetrator of publicity pertaining to persuading the passing public to pause and
peer at the pervailing pulchritude of
places, suggests that this spot be appropriately marked, calling the attention of passing motorists to the fact
that this really is the place where the
North begins.
MERCHANTS LEAGUE
COMMENCES
SEASON LAST WEEK
Family  League  to  Bowl  With
Four Ladies' and Four
Men's Teams
A feud of several years' standing between John E. "Spikehorn" Meyer and
Conservation Officers was terminated
amiably.in circuit court Friday of last
week, following Spikehorn's appeal of
a justice court verdict which resulted
In a fine of $50.00, costs of $23.45 and
a term of probation. Apparently the
only ones disappointed Avith the peaceable settlement were the some two
hundred spectators who had gathered
in the court room to see the "fireworks,"
The plaintiff withdrew his appeal in
circuit court and his case was sent
back to the justice court where he
had been convicted and where his
sentence was suspended upon his
agreement to post a $500.00 bond with
the Conservation Department to ruu
as long as he maintained his wild animal park in Michigan and conditioned
upon his complying with all rules ana
regulations' of the Conservation Department, removing signs containing
derogatory remarks about the Conservation Department and its officers and
he is to secure his annual breeders
license and exhibitors permit.
H. D. Ruhl, chief of the Conserva-
tion Department game division, appeared in court, but Director P. J.
Hoffmaster remained in Lansing, subject to call, both having been subpoenaed by Spikehorn as witnesses.
As in the justice court trial, the People of the State 'of Michigan were represented by Prosecuting Attorney
Joseph K. Naumes and Spikehorn
plead his own case.
- The People of the State of Michigan, were represented by Prosecuting
Attorney Joseph K. Naumes and
-Spikehorn was represented by Attorneys Harold B. Hughes, of Clare, and
Edward Lynch, of Mt, Pleasant.
Thus ended a controversy that had
made good newspaper copy for months
and had threatened to crowd the news
of events of national import from the
front pages ot Michigan's metropolitan
newspapers.
