Mrs. Heien Burdo, widow of the late-
Stanley J. Burdo and a highly respected resident of this city for the past
ten years, passed away at the home on
West Wheatpn avenue at 4:30 'o'clock
i-Tiday^af fernooft of -last" week,-, following three years of failing health.
■Miss Helen Grobaski was born the
daughter of Frank and Pauline Grobaski, at Boyne Falls, Michigan, October 25, 1S89, and 'passed away at
Clare, Michigan, January 11, 1946, at
the age of fifty-six years, two months
and  seventeen days.
She grew to yound womanhood at
Boyne Falls and was united in marriage with Stanley John Burdo, there,
July 28, 1913. This union was blessed
by the 'birth of eight children, Benjamin John, Rose who passed away at
the age-of four years, Stanley William,
Clara * Jeanette, Edmund Wallace,
Frank ;Daniei, Anthony Thomas and
Thomas Walter.
The Burdos moved to Rockford,
Michigan, in 1930, where he was engaged in the hardware business, before purchasing the Clare Hardware
& Furniture Company in 1936.
Mrs. Burdo was a life long member
of the Catholic Church, always taking
a keen interest in the work of the
ladies' organizations in the church
She was a kind and loving wife and
mother, devoting her life to her family, and will be greatly missed by them
and the many firends whose love and
esteem she had won through her pleas
ing ways and devotion to her family
and friends.
She leaves to mourn their loss, the
bereaved children, Mrs. Frank Bark-
man, of Keego Harbor, Frank Daniel
with the U. S. Navy at Shanghai,
China, and Benjamin, Stanley,. Anthony, Edmund and Thomas, at home;
one granddaughter, Connie Barkman;
her mother, Mrs. Frank Grobaski, of
Boyne Falls; three brothers, Dan,
Ben and Leo Grobaski, and one sister,
Mrs. Martha Britton, all of L'Anse,
Michigan, and a host of friends.
Rosary services were held at the
home at 8:3Q o'clock Saturday and
Sunday evening and prayer services
at the home Tuesday morning, followed by funeral services held from
St. Cecilia's Catholic Church at 10:00
o'clock that morning, with Rev. Fr.
Charles D. Brophy singing Solemn Requiem High Mass, as Celebrant, assisted by Rev. Fr. Gordon Grant, as
Deacon, and Rev. Fr. Joseph Zaskow-
ski, as Sub Deacon. She was laid at
rest at St. Cecilia's Cemetery beside
her husband and amidst a profusion
of beautiful flowers that bespoke the
high esteem in which she was held.
Jersey Joslin sank a field goal from
the side in'the last fifteen seconds of
the game last Friday night to enable
the Clare High Pioneers to walk off
the floor on the long end of a 38-37
score. Just seconds prior to this basket, Bud Rodabaugh had put Clare
back into the running with a shot from
just back of the foul line.
The first quarter was a walk away
for Harrison, who apparently couldn't
miss, and at one time held a 10-2 advantage, which Clare managed to
trim to 13-6 at quarter time. The
Green and White made a 15 point
splurge ill the second period, with
Cappaert doing some fine rebound
work, and brought the score to 21-21
as the teams left the floor at intermission.
The lead changed hands several
times in the last half, with Harrison
taking a three point lead with one
minute left to play. Just about the
time the Clare fans had kissed the
game goodbye, Rodabaugh and Joslin
came through with their game saving
shots. It was a swell game to win or
a tough one to lose. Clare's passing
and floor work was very good, but
their shooting wasn't up to the standard shown over at St. Louis.
The Junior Varsity lost by the score
of 37-21. The tenth grade group played good basketball to take a first quarter lead which the ninth couldn't hold.
Taking the floor in the second half, the
tenth graders seemed content to let
the game go by default.
The Green and White will go to
Evart for a return game this Friday
evening, with serious intent of avenging the 36-30 trimming they took at
the hands ot the Wildcats on the Clare
floor earfjer this season. It is hoped
that a good cheering section of townspeople will accompany the team.
Next Tuesday evening the locals
will play Gladwin, in their first game
'iS8£tMj£e>JiGSf,.on the Clare gym floor,
The Green ami White defeated Gladwin 45-21 and 34-26 last season and invite local fans to come out and see
what the Pioneers can do about repeating this year. -•

Local overseas veterans, meeting in
the High Schpol Monday evening,
formed a new post of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the U. S. Applications for charter membership were received from forty-nine veterans, including those who served in the Span
ish-American War and both World
Wars.
The new unit, to be known as the
Pettit-Kapplinger Post, is named for
two veterans of the Clare-Farwell area
who lost their lives in action in the
late war.
Official institution of the post will
take place, according5to present plans,
on Monday, February^ll, at 8:00 p. m.
The public will be invited, and there
will be no admission charge. One of
the crack ritual teams of the state
organization will be brought to Clare
to perforin the beautiful and impressive V.F.W. initiatory rite, which until
recently was performed only in closed

designated by the Department Commander, William S. Tarr, of Luding-
ton. George H. Gee, Deputy Chief of

Mrs. Fenton Ware,.. Clare, county
-chairman of the' National Foundation
for-Infantile Paralysis fund Taising
campaign, attended a 12:30 o'clock
;luclieon in the Wayne room.of the
Hotel Statler, in Detroit, Wednesday,
in the interest of the campaign against
dread poliomyelitis. Dr. Gudakunst
was present and gave a lecture and
demonstration of the treatment of infantile paralysis, sponsored by the
National Foundation.
Mrs. Ware states that the meeting
was very interesting and will benefit
her in her part of the fight against
polio.
More than 13,000 men, women and
children in the United States were
victims of infantile paralysis in 1945,
making it the fourth highest year on
record, the National Foundation reports. In 1943 and 1944, the National
Foundation reports 12,429 and 19,053
cases respectively. The three year
total, 1943 to 1945 inclusive, is greater than has ever been reported previously for any five year period.
The disease is baffling at best and
only through experimentation, research and treatment made possible
by the "March of Dimes," President's
Birthday Ball and other contributions,
can it be checked before a serious
epidemic kills and cripples many, perhaps in our own community.
"March of Dimes" boxes are now
placed in business places and plans
are going forward for the President's
Birthday Ball at the Clare city hall
auditorium Saturday evening, January 26. '
Half of the proceeds of the Clare
county campaign will be kept here for
special equipment, hospitalization,
transportation, and treatment and
care of polio patients within the county; and the other half will be contributed to the National Foundation, for
research, education and emergency aid
during epidemics.
Let us who have been so fortunate
as to escape the affliction of infantile
paralysis aid our less fortunate friends
by dropping dimes into the "March
of Dimes" boxes as we see them in
our daily routine, attend the President's Birthday Ball, that "while we
are dancing we may help some child
to walk," and assist in any other way
possible,

CLARE KIWANIS
COMMITTEES PLAN
FOR COMING YEAR
Much  Is Accomplished in
Three organizational
Meetings
The third and final of a series of
meetings designated to start the committees of the Clare Kiwanis Club pn
their year's work was held at the
Hotel Doherty Wednesday evening of
this week.
The first, an organizational meeting,
was held January 2nd, at which time
the work of the committees was" discussed by club members.  ''
President Austin Bates called the
meeting to order and presented Floyd
Peterson, of Midland, Kiwanis Lieutenant Governor elect for District
Four who spoke briefly of the importance of committee work.
On January 9th another dinner
meeting was held at the Doherty, with
'President Bates presiding, and Jim
Driver, past president of the Midland
Kiwanis Club, the principal speaker
of the evening. Mr. Driver gave an
interesting and beneficial talk on Kiwanis Education.
Ted Bowler presided at the induction of Floyd Rosier, a new member of
the club, and Floyd's sponsor, Art
Damoth, presented him with his Kiwanis pin.
President Bates presided at Wednesday evening's meeting at the
Doherty, and called for reports of
committees on plans for the coming
year:- Each committee had met and
gave encouraging reports on the progress  of  their respective work.
During the meeting, the house and
reception committee, Jack Little
Bill Nepper and O. D. Bayes, who apparently had done a little extra committee work, were led into the room
by "Drum Major" Wallace Johnson,
with fanfare and slogans in support
of President Bates, who reportedly
was elected on a platform of "Pie and
Ice Cream at each meeting," which
up to this time had not materialized
(except for the pie).
Pie and ice cream were served to
all, with the accompaniment of a male
quartet, consisting of Ken Hendrie,
Jack Hall, Leo Brown and President
Bates, singing a special original ditty
entitled, "You'll Get Pie With Ice
Cream on Top."
This bit of humor seemed to enliven all present and a great deal was
accomplished during the meeting for
the benefit of the club and community
at large.
Among other accomplishments,
plans were made for attendance at tne
Victory mid-winter meeting of Michigan Kiwanis at Grand Rapids, next
Monday, and also the Charter Night
program of the East TawasTawas
City Kiwanis Club, January 24th.

guests, Dexter Elden and Donald Dunlop, who have recently been discharged from the Marine Corps and!
Air Corps, respectively, and Mr. Ven
Stolz, of the International Harvester
Company. Members then were called

would be glad to help in any way possible in the interest of the organize
tion in the future; and then called

Michigan Tourist Association year
book with the cooperation of the City
of Clare, and cooperated with local
merchants in discouraging the solicitation of money in Clare by "fly-by-
nights," and in other projects.
, The treasurer's, report was very sat*
isfactory and showed that after the •
expenditure of all necessary funds, %■'
substantial sum was left in the treasury to assist in financing postwar projects of the Chamber of Commerce.
diet Richard was then called on to
preside at the annual election, which
resulted as follows:

chairman of the attendance and membership committee, in his usual pleasing manuer, expressed his appreciation of the cooperation of the other
officers and members in making his
outstanding success in this capacity
possible.
Mayor John W. Dunlop was presented and in a few well chosen words
said that he was happy to be there
and because of the attendance at the
meeting and spirit of cooperation manifested by the members. He assured
the group that with the splendid stalE
of officers and directors and members of the Chamber of Commerce cooperating with other civic groups,
"Clare will forge ahead."
