PIONEERS TAKE
ANOTHER GAME
FROMJARRISON
Reed City to Play, at Clare
Gym This Friday
Evening
The Clare Pioneers, playing a fine
brand of basketball, turned back Harrison's Hornets on the latter's floor
last Friday, 40-27.
Harrison took a momentary lead on
Sharp's free-throw, but Bud Rodabaugh put the Pioneers in front with a
medium long shot. Newman, Joslin
and Cappaert scored almost immediately, and Clare was off to a lead that
was never relinquished. The Green
and White superiority in the first jialf
is shown by the mid-game score which
was 27-10 in Clare's favor.
Harrison made a real battle of it
in the third period, outscoring Clare
30-2 and pulling up to within, nine
points of the Pioneers. Midway in
the fourth quarter Harrison came to
within five points. At this point Cappaert tipped in a follow shot and
Kane swished the nets with thiree
buckets to effectively put the game
on ice. Joslin. and Kane were high
point men for'Clare with eleven each,
but the entire team played a fine
games   «,. . -.-,.-    .  .,
The "Junior Varsity was no match
for Harrison, which dubbed them 21-
15.
Reed   City   Tonight
The Pioneers will play the Reed
City quintet on the Clare floor this
evening in a return game, having defeated the Reeds 25-22 on their floor
in the season opener. The Green and
White lost both games to the Reeds
last season and are determined to
turn the tables completely for this
season in tonight's game.
Next Tuesday evening, February .5,
the Pioneers will play their first game
of the season with Shepherd, at the
Clare gymnasium. The locals trimmed
Shepherd 27-24 in their only game last
season and'will attempt to repeat this
year,
A large cheering section is good
for the players morale and assists
them in winning games—so let's all be
there for the opening whistle at 7:30

Friendly Evening
at St. Cecilia's
Church Parlors
Some seventy men assumed the
duties of the kitchen Tuesday evening at St.' Cecilia's and feted the
Ladies of the Altar Society with a delectable dinner. It was difficult to
know just when the entertainment
started. The men looked very chef-
like in their borrowed aprons and except for a few losses in china, there
was remarkable efficiency. Leo
O'Grady,. "Commander-in-chief of the
Kitchen," deserves high praise. Among
the many waiters, Bob Drew's billboard effect apron, all will agree, was
outstanding!
Jack Hall, the master of ceremonies
led the community singing in his inimitable way, Mrs. Florence Kane
playing the piano. Mrs. Ruth Green,
Miss Frances Morgan, Rosemary and
Tom Murphy, Ted Hoersch and Jeanie
Bowler completed the entertainment
program.
After the dinner, the Altar Society
held their meeting. Mrs. W. E. Bowler, President, because of illness, was
unable to attend- the hieeting. Mrs.
Theo; Bowler accepted' chairmanship.
Fr. C. Daniel Brophy! pastor, thanked the ladies for their splendid cooperation and Mrs. W..E. Bowler, retiring President, for her service to the
palish and outstanding record of the
past two years.
Miss Ethel Gleason was ' elected
President; , Mrs. Albert Haley, Vice
President; and ^fias Frances Morgan,
Secretary J and. Treasured. \ The meeting 'was closed' witti j^'pra^erv..:\,   .
.IntlicMfcras. are that a large stock
pi building materials is about to be
released" by the Army and Navy. The
materials to" be released include,
among other scarce items: lumber,
pipe, nails, lath, plumbing and electrical supplies.
These materials will be released at
the following places: The Navy Depot at Joliet, Illinois; the Army Depots at Columbus, Sharonville, and
Marion, Ohio, and Granite City, Illinois.
The only restriction in the purchase
of this material is that the buyer must
certify that it will be used for low
cost housing under the $10,000 limit.
Materials obtained under.this procedure will be over and above those
allowed under the HH priorities (HH
priorities are issued by the Federal
Housing Administrator and require
that the builder build houses for sale
to veterans). The disposal procedure
is:
a. After inventory is completed
RFC wiil run newspaper ads in the
area of the depot which will list the
types and amounts of materials avail*
able.
b. A coupon will be attached on
which prospective buyers check what
they would like to order.
c. RFG tallies the prospect orders
an.d then mails to the prospective buyers detailed lists of stocks and prices
set within OPA ceilings.
d. Buyers then submit their actual
orders and if there isn't enough to go
around, RFC will allocate the goods
among them.
These materials will be sold only in
large quantities, such as in a purchase
of lumber the minimum purchase will
be a car load. Thus, builders, dealers
and state institutions and agencies
will be the principal buyers. Federal,
state and local governments will be
entitled to a priority on 30% of .the
stocks set aside for a ten-day period.
The so-called HH priority is to be
issued by the Federal Housing Administrator and the local field offices
will be equipped to issue the priorities
in the very near future. An HH priority require that . the builder build
houses for sale to veterans. These
houses are held for veteans during the
time of construction and for thirty
days thereafter. 50% of all building
materials will be allocated' to this
HH priority. The maximum price limitation is set at $10,000, with FHA insuring 90% of the mortgage on the
first $6,000 and 80% on the balance,
Any housing built under an HH priority must be held for veteran purchase
during the time ,of construction, and for
thirty days thereafter. The builder
will be required to place a posted in
front of the house indicating that veterans have the first right to purchase.
P.R.A. PROMISES
FUNDS FOR STATE
R0ADJUILD1NG
Counties to Share Money
Provided By 1944
Highway Act
In response to inquiries to Wash-
ingj&jj.as to whether a recently enacted a^Siency bill had carried an expected item of $500,000,000 for federal
aid road building funds to the various
states for use in the first postwar
construction year, Highway Commissioner Charles M, Ziegler report he
has been informed only $25,000,000
of the amount was included in the
Congressional measure.
Congressman Jesse P. Wolcott, of
Port Huron, ranking Republican member of the House Roads Committee,
and Public,Roads Administration officials have informed Commissioner
Ziegler the $25,000,000 is available for
immediate use. This is to augment
another $175,000,000 which remains unexpended from.previously voted federal aid funds. These funds have
been allocated to the Various states
.and represents unused' portions of
their money. Michigan has an unexpended balance of $853,000 from the
funds .allotted previously.
Congressman Wolcott and the PRA
informed Commissioner Ziegler this
unused money, plus the $25,000,000
just voted, it to be made available
for immediate use by the states, whieh
must match this money on a 50-50
basis. The Washington sources Said
Michigan and the other states can go
ahead Tvith lettihg of contracts as they
felt this $200,000,000 will be sufficient
to reimburse the states for any money
the contractors can earn before the
end ''of the present fiscal year, June
30, 1946.
They explained the unused allotments would be used as a revolving
fund..and would be replaced from
future appropriations provided for irt
the Highway Act of 1944. This Act
called for -annual appropriations .Of
$500,000,000 a year for each of the
first three postwar construction yeai'sl
Under terms of the 1944 Act, the
Michigan State Highway Department
is to receive approximately $13,700,006
for each of the three years for Use oh
state trunklines and the counties approximately $3,000,000 a year for i\§e
on county roads. This federal money
when matched by the states and counties would provide a state trunkline
program of approximately $26,000,000
and a county road program of atiout
$6,000,1)00.
Both Congressman Wolcott and the
PRA said they felt Michigan could
proceed to let contracts for its complete -first year program with assurance additional appropriations would
be forthcoming to provide the federal
government's share of federal aid involved. This would mean $475,000,000
additional federal aid funds would
have to be made available for use hy
June 30, 1946,
However, Commissioner Ziegler said
he felt written authorization and instructions from the PRA would have
to be received before the State Highway Department could safely let contracts for the full program mapped
for the first year.
He said one question he is anxious
to have answered is whether' mottey
available. tlrrough the $206,000,u00
funds can be* usedofor .right-of-way as
was to be the case with.funds called
for in the^'1944-Act." 'It is, important
that Michigan be allowed to Use part
of its federal aid on. right-of-way because on such projects as the Detroit
Grosstown and John C. Lodge, the purchase of right-of-way. is a very large
item in the totalscosfc of the projeefci

FIRE DESTROYS
OLD LANDMARK IN
CLAREJUESDAY
Other Buildings in Vicinity
Threatened By Early
Morning Blaze ■
When the fire siren sounded at; 2:40
Tuesday morning most of the citizens
of Clare listened until the wailing had
ceased, sniffed a couple of times to
see if it might be their homes, and
then realizing that it was a. pretty
cold night, rolled over to go to sleep*
but when in a few minutes the entire
sky over the city was aglow, the more
sturdy dressed and came down town
to watch one of the old landmarks of
the city go up in, smoke and, flame, "
many remaining until nearly break*
fast time. '
Daryl Blanchard, whose home in ori
East Third Street and whose bedroom
window faces towards the back of the
store building on East Fourth Street,
belonging to the estate of the late
Ernest Beale, noticed the reflection
of flames on the bedropm window and
looking out discovered the Beale
building to be burning. He told Le«
Dolia Blanchard of the fire and she
immediately gave the" alarm. '
The fire had made considerable
headway at that time and by the time:
the fire department could reach thy
scene of the fire, the entire interior '
of the building was a mass of flames'*
The firemen soon had several streams-
of water playing on the fire and at'
though there was no hope of saving
the Beale building, they did a highly
commendable job of saving the DP.
H. J. Ballard property on the east
and the Midway Restaurant on the
west, besides other buildings in the
vicinity.
Although the cause and source of"
the fire is not definitely known, it was*
burning  the  most rampantly in. the"
middle part of the lower floor when
the fire department arrived.   The en--
tire building was gutted by the fire
and it burned through the east wall;
causing considerable  damage to  ti.6
Dr. Ballara property, but the firemen,
fighting constantly KUtil 7:00 o'clock-
Tuesday morning, kept the fire witiin-
the walls of the building on the wesC
side toward the Midway Restaurant,,
