Ii in doubt, ask our Secretary,
Just What Sort
of a Football Fan
Are You Anyway
Well, folks, The Pioneers   took   a
good licking from Evart last Friday
►"igMjterjioon on their gridiron to the tune
ol'Sfif-O, but they are not a beaten team
by a jug full.
Last year the Evart gridders came
over here and defeated the Pioneers
39-0 and then the Green and. White
went over to Gladwin and beat their
team 8-6 by scoring in the fourth
quarter in the rain, so you see by the
law of averages and possibility of history repating itself the local gridders
have a good chance for a comeback
yet this season.
The Pioneers started out with two
wins this season and were heaped with-
praise and glory—but when they went
into a tail spin, as any team is likely
to at times—they have been alternately- cajoled, booed at, threatened* and
discouraged, even before taking to the
field, until the boys— and after all
they are only boys—hardly know
where they do stand.
A little of each of these is OK but
too much of even a good thing is just
too much—so let's be at the local athletic field at 7:30 this Friday evening
to show the lads what real support is
and in the meantime if we don't have
a good word for them let's just keep
our lips buttoned up.
We'll wager that the results will be
pleasing to the boys and to all of us.

EMMA NIEMEYER
SUCCUMBS TO ILL
HEALTHM0NDAY
Life Long Resident of This
Community Laid at
Rest Here
Early Monday morning death summoned Miss Emma Niemeyer at the
Clare Hospital and Clinic where she
had been a patient four weeks. She
had been ill at her home for several
weeks and also suffered a brocken arm
on the Sunday she was removed to the
hospital.
Emma Niemeyer was born near the
Hinkle Mill location in Grant township, October 2, 1879, daughter of
Charles and Clara Bellinger Niemeyer.
The family moved to Hatton, which
was a thriving lumbering community,
and her father was employed by the
Pere Marquette Railway Company as
section foreman. In 1891 they, removed to Clare and later purchased the
lOQatiogjpfcvjveat, Fi|th, street, \y!Uch;.;
has been Miss Niemeyer's home for1
thirty-eight years,. After availing herself of an education, she entered the
employment of the "Onion Telephone
Company and prepared, herself for
secretarial work. She was employed
by the Citizens State Bank upon its
organization in 1909 and continued in
this capacity until 1931, when her
eyesight failed. Her responsibility to
her parents was uppermost and she
devoted her full time to their interests
and care during their declining years.
Her mother preceded her in July, 1936,
and her father in January, 1941.
Miss Niemeyer was a self-reliant person and met her handicap of failing
sight and broken health bravely and
deeply appreciated a partial recovery
of sight enabling her to oversee the
daily activities about the home which
She shared with Dr." Christin%'*'*M.
Schutt.     '   ' '
She was a member of the White
Shrine, Zenobia chapter. Order of the
Eastern Star, and the First Congregational church. Friends and acquan-
tances from these organizations and
former business associates unite in extending sympathy to the two brothers,
Charles and family, of Flint, and Roy,
of Saginaw, in the passing of one who
sacrificed so much for**the welfare of
others.
Funeral rites were held from the
"Thurston Funeral Home Wednesday
afternoon at two o'clock, with Rev.
Harold Watson bringing the message
and Zenobia Chapter, O. E. S., participating in the commitment services.
Burial was made in the family lot at
Cherry Grove cemetery.
The Victory Loan opened here Monday morning, and with all bonds clearing the Federal Reserve Bank on and
after October 29th credited to the
Victory Loan, an encouraging nucleus
.has been established, but $248,000
worth of bonds is a lot to be sold in
any campaign in the county and the
untiring efforts and all out cooperation of each chairman, worker and
bond buyer will be required to reach
our goal.
The Avar is over but its adverse effects will be felt until each of the
Armed Forces are home, until each
wounded person has been released,
from the hospital and rehabilitated in
civilian life, until all of the nations
which stood by us in the dark days of
the war are able to re-establish their
economic structures and means of
sustenance from the rubble ol war—.
and that will take years and a lot of
our hard earned cash.
. But we are not asked to contribute
a cent to the Victory Loan. We are,
on the other hand, only asked to loan
our money to our Government in it-
hour of greatest need—all to be returned to us in ten years with a dollar added to each three we invest
now—or sooner if we find that we
need it.
Your neighbors and your friends
will give of their time and energy in
an effort to reach every person in
Clare county, offering them an opportunity to help ill subscribing our quota
and in making a splendid investment
fon themselves. When your Victory
Loan Gallant calls on you, won't you
greet him or her with a smile and
open heart and buy all the bonds you
can?
The Victory Loan, as all other war
loans, is not a rich man's loan— they
realize the value pf the investment and
buy their sharaand more without soliciting—but it is the common man's
— the E. Bond purchaser'-* loan—in
\vhiph everji American has a ;.art and

POINT ELIMINATION
TO GRADUALLY BRING
BACK MANY CHEESES
E-xhau^loTtb'f'STfol'^Stbcksfi-ix-
pected to Be Only
Temporary v
With the elimination of points for
cheese and removal of the govenrment
set-aside, consumers can expect the
gradual reappearance on store shelves
of many long-absent cheese varieties,
but the immediate effect of point-free
purchases may be the exhaustion of
retailers' stocks for a short period, according to John H. Kraft, president of
the Kraft Cheese Company.
» Availability to civilians of cheddar
or American cheese during the war
has been restricted by the government
set-aside, which has averaged about
50% of total production, Mr. Kraft
pointed out, while the supply of varieties other than Cheddar has been limited by a government order holding
production of these types to 1942 levels.
"Even with removal, of these restrictions, however, it still will require several weeks for the industry to switch
the bulk of its produ*(f|*|>jiJinto normal
trade channels," he said. "After a
month or so, the abundance and variety of dealers' cheese stocks should
increase gradually but steadily. The
indu„try is already curing cheese for
the first time since 1941, but it probably will take from six months to a
year for sharp, aged cheese to reach
the market in any reasonable quantity,
"Within the next few years, cheese
should win an increasingly larger
place in the national diet as a highly
concentrated protein food. The war
h*as increased public appreciation of
the food values of cheese, and the industry is preparing to market its products in new and attractive forms, as
well as bring back familiar varieties as
rapidly as possible," Mr. Kraft commented, calling attention to the fact
that U.S. cheese production has
reached new high levels in the war
years.
The speed with which many varieties of cheese reappear for retail sale,
as well as the introduction of new products, will depent on many factors, Mr,.
Kraft said.
Among these he listed the question
of how mufch cheese the government
will be buying in the open market for
foreign shipment or relief needs;
availability of,packaging and wrapping
materials and the availability of new
.equipment for expansion of production
plants.

POINTS REDUCED
ON BUTTER AND
FATS NOVEMBER 1
Shoe. Rationing Discontinued at Midnight Tuesday
October 30th
Rationing- is slowly but surely passing,, wii-h. the result that butter, mar'
garine, lard, shortening and oils were
cut to eight points per pound, effective last Sunday.
Point costs remained, unchange-
however, for all prime cuts of beef,
veal and Iamb and for lean cuts . o_
pork. Lower grades of b§ef, veal and
lamb will remain ration free. The only
meat reductions are two to four points
a pound on fat pork cuts and barbecued pork.
OPA Administrator Bowles predicts
that there will be about twelve pel*
cent more butter in November than in
October, chiefly because of the release of 80,000,000 pounds by the army:
and heavier marketing of hogs should
make about thirty-nine per cent more
lard available this month.
According to Agricultural Department estimates, drops of thirteen percent on beef, nineteen per cent en
vpal, and twenty-two per cent on lam1>
and mutton, can be expected in November, to be offset by an increase of
forty-one per cent in the pork supply.
Five more ration stamps, red
stamp W-l, X-l, Y-l and Z-l, and green
stamp N-S in ration book four, became
valid Thursday and will expire February 28. Five more green stamps
will be validated December 1 if rationing continues next month.
Shoe   Rationing  Discontinued'.
The Saginaw-Escanaba District Office of the Office of Price Admin-*
istiation received notification froils*
the Cleveland Regional Office?
that, effective as of October 30th;-
1945, the rationing of all leather'
footwear would terminate. As of that-
date the retail trade was notified via
radio and press, and following, that
announcement the district office sent
to each retail establishment notice of
this termination.
Since j.shoe rationing began Feb^
ruary 7;*" 1943, each civilial lias tieei"*
entitled to six pairs of shoes, of
slightly more rthah an average Of two
pairs per year.
We will not always be able to ptifr
chase the exact shoe styles we wisli/
but with 28,000,000 pairs manufaGtu-*i
ed in October and an expected 30,000^
000 pairs in each of the months of
November and December, the situatioB
will be greatly improved over recent
months.
OPA Administrator Bowles urge*
shoe dealers to abide by the Govern1'
ment suggestion that returning serv*-
ice men and women be favored in the*
sale of shoes when stacks are limit*
