FIRST MEETING OF
NEW AGRICULTURAL
COMMISSION HELD
Begin Service in Charge of the
State Department
Agriculture
After a quarter century another
change took place last week in the
State Department of Agriculture when
the new Commission held the first
meeting since their recent appointment by the Governor, to begin their
service as' a Commission in charge of
the Department of Agriculture, states
Charles Figy, now Director of Agriculture who before was entitled Commissioner of Agriculture. This is the result of the law passed by the last legislature which makes the change from
the Commissioner of Agriculture being in general charge of the Department, to> the five-man Agricultural
Commission, the term of office of each
member to be six years. Whereas the
Commissioner of Agriculture was a
political appointment, the Director of
Agriculture will now be employed by
the Agricultural Commission to serve
at their pleasure.
In 1921 the state legislature united
several state bureaus having the supervision of food products and livestock
regulations by creating the present
State Department of Agriculture.
Since that time, 'out of the eleven
Commissioners appointed by the eight
Governors who have served in the past
twenty-four years, only two Commissioners have served more than two
years. Those two-were Herbert Powell of Ionia, who served under Fred W.
Green and Wilbur Brucker, and

MRS. HENRETTA HOUSE
SUCCUMBS TO ILLNESS
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5TH
Funeral  Services   Held   From
Rosebush Methodist
.Church Monday
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist Church, Monday, October
8th, for Mrs. Henretta House, whose
death occurred in Samaritan, hospital,
Bay City, Friday, October 5th, follow-,
ing an illness of more than a year.
Rev, Hilding Kilgren, Capt. Marie
House and Rev. R. O. Thompson of-
fiiciated at the services which were in
charge of Kenneth Ward, of Vermont-
ville. Burial was made in the Mt.
Pleasant Cemetery.
Henretta Muma was born in Round
Plains, Canada, February 16th, 1868.
At the age of seventeen she came with
her parents to Calkinsville (now Rosebush). Jn 1888 she was united in marriage to Ferdinand G. House, who preceded her in death by sixteen years.
Mrs. House was the mother of six
children; Edward of Oakley, Mabel
House Wiley of Bay City, Edith House
Holmes of Clare, and George and Otto
of Rosebush. One daughter, Emily,
died in infancy.
Possessed of an unusually, sweet and
gentle disposition, Mrs. House was
beloved by all who were fortunate
enough to know her. Through her
long illness she was patient, composed
and spiritually calm.
"Having been a lifelong Christian,
Mrs. House united early in life with
the church of her ohoice, which she
served faithfully and well. She was a
past president of the Woman's Society,
for Christian Service, to which she
had /belonged for more than thirty
years. Mrs. House was also a member
of the Rebekah lodge.
The passing of this dear one will
leave much sadness, but the beauty of
her life will live on as a shining example of true Christian love and service*.

ONE KILLED AND
SIX INJURED IN
GUNACCIDENTS
Four of Hunting Accident
Victims Under Eighteen^
Years of Age
Four boys, eighteen or under, have
been wounded in early season gun accidents. A Bay City man is dead and
two adults have been seriously injured.
The fact that more than half of the
early season accident victims have
been, under eighteen is causing grave
concern among leaders of sportsmen's
groups and (Sonservation department
authorities.
Spurred by the record thirty-eight
deaths in 1944 hunting season accidents, sportsmen's organizations and
the department in recent months have
greatly increased their efforts to educate youths in the safe handling of
firearms. Motion pictures, lectures,
and demonstrations have been methods used to carry the message of gun
safety to scores of groups throughout
the state.
.Interested persons have hoped that
a decline this fall in gun accidents
among youths may result from these
efforts; the early season showing indicates there is no reason for optimism.
Two of the injured, Linton and
Myles Rudd, fourteen and fifteen, of
Cedarville, were wounded by a fourteen year old companion who had taken a gun without his parents' knowledge. Donald Logerciuist, fourteen,
of Brethren, may lose an arm as a result of a gun accident while with companions under seventeen.
Prosecution of parents of youths involved in gun accidents is contemplated as a possible means of holding
down accidents. Licenses to hunt are
Issued to persons under seventeen
only on application of parents or
guardians and regulations require that
such minors shall be accompanied by
responsible adults while hunting on
lands on which their parents are not
regularly domiciled.
Sixteen persons were killed during
the 1944 pheasant season, fifteen died
during the deer season, and seven
were killed while hunting ducks and
rabbits. Those wounded during hunting seasons last year tdtaled 142.
This season's first fatality was
Stephen Talaga, 30, of Bay City, killed
while duck hunting.

Mrs. Winfield Winchell, who has

War Fund was made soon after V-***
Day after two weeks of almost con'
tiuual study of the situation and the*
needs by the executive committee of
the National War Fund.
Victory over Germany brought about
liquidation of British War Relief and
American-Denmark Relief and Russian War Relief withdrew from the
War Fund when its program changed.
V-J Day, however, does not signify
immediate end of the work of the otfr

now is in the process of liquidation,
returning its men from their fields ot
service in India and  China.
USO and USO-Camp Shows must*-
carry on their programs for our serv-'
icemen until demobilization is an act*'

there will be shifts and possible re«'

in the Pacific will have to be main*'

The announcement that this* is t*h"S
last National War Fund campaign does
not attempt to say that additional fundi
raising may not be undertaken by*
some of the agencies at the end of
1946 if their obligations are not fulfilled. The announcement means that

REEDS INTERCEPT
PASS TO DEFEAT
PIONEERS FRIDAY
Beaverton Will Play Here
Next Wednesday
Evening
One misplay cost the Clare High
gridders a football game here last
Friday when Reed City handed the
Green and White a 6-0 setback. It was
the' first defeat of the season for the
locals and a heartbreaker. Reed City's
touchdown came with bewildering rapidity and turned what looked like a
certain Pioneer score into defeat for
the home team. At the time, Clare
had the ball on the visitor's 18 yard
line and on an attempted run to the
left the ball carrier threw a lateral
straight into the waiting arms of
Douglas Bobo, Reed's right end. He
scampered 82 yards without a hand
being laid on him, for the only score
of the game. The fact that the attempted pass for the extra point failed
only gave the fans temporary relief.
From that point on until the last
five minutes of play, Clare consistently outplayed their heavier opponents,
chalked up a total of twelve first
downs to the Reeds four and completed eight of twelve passes. Reed City,
however, always managed to stop the
locals short of the goal.
Clare kicked off to open hostilities
and, after an exchange of fumbles,
started goalward, reeling off three
first downs in succession. Then, with
the ball on the Reed City 18 yard line,
came the play that turned victory into
defeat. The Pioneers fought gamely
