The thirteenth. Annual Easter Seal
Sale in Clare is meeting with a fine response. Funds from 'the sale of Easter

bringing new life and hope in accord
with the Easter season.
On Saturday, April 13th, Troop HI
of Clare Girl Scouts, under the leadership of Mrs. Richard Wheeler and
Dorothy Smith, will conduct the Annual Lily Parade. This is the only
way that the sound and healthy children can collect money for the more
unfortunate crippled youngsters, and
nothing will make the young> hearts
of these Girl Scouts happier 'than to
have their Lily banks full of silver
coins.

An Easter sunrise prayer service is
to be held in the Clare city park Easter morning by the Clare Church of
Goi and the public and neighboring
churches are sincerely and cordially
invited to participate in this service.
Come out and renew your consecration to God and enjoy as did the disciples and followers of Jesus the early
dawn teachings on the mountains or
near the Sea of Galilee.
Jessie V. Dopp Davis, the daughter
of Charles and Elizabeth Dopp, was
born at Oberlin, Ohio, July 19, 1863,
and passed peacefully to her eternal
rest April 4, 1946, at her home in Arthur township, Clare county, Michigan
at the advanced age of eighty-two
years, eight months and fifteen days.
She was the last one of a family of
two sisters and three brothers.
In her early womanhood she moved
with her parents and family to Paulding county, Ohio, and on December 23,
18S6, she was united in marriage to
David N. Davis, at Paulding, Ohio. To
this union were born eleven children
six daughters and five sons.
She was preceded in death by the
following: a son, who died in infancy;
a daughter, Belle, who died in 1891;
a daughter, Ethel, who died in 1807;
a daughter, Goldle, who died in 1919;
a -sohj.F'red, who died in 1936; and. her
\f2ompi2ion,* who' passed away Feuru-
ary 3,1934.
Left to mourn 'their loss are three
sons, P. B., of Lansing, Charles, of
Schoolcraft, and Perry, living at
home; three daughters, Mrs. Nellie
Sanders and Mrs. Genevieve Fancon,
of Clare, and Mrs. Alice Ware, «f Ren-
eselaer, Indiana; one granddaughter,
Mrs. Mildred Struose, who was raised
by Mrs. Davis and will miss her as a
mother as well as a grandmother;
Twenty-eight other grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren, four nieces
and three nephews, several other relatives and a host of friends.
In April, 1902, Mrs. Davis, with her
husband and family, came to Clare
county, and as soon as Mr. Davis
built their house, settled on the farm
in Arthur township, which has since
been her home. During these years
she endured the hardships and withstood the many trials of raising her
family in this new country with great
perseverance and patience.
She was converted and united with
the church at Elm Grove several years
ago in meetings conducted by. Rev.
McNutt, of Butternut, who was the
minister who had officiated at her marriage. *
Mrs. Davis was an active member
of the Nester Arbor of Gleaners for
several years. She is the last charter
member of Riverside Grange and her
faithfulness and loyalty will always
be remembered by her fellow Grangers although failing health kept her
from attending very often during the
last few years. As long as her health
permitted she was an active officer
of Riverside Grange. She was also a
charter member of the Brush College
Ladies Aid and in this capacity her
fellowship and her energetic helpfulness, before her health "failed, leaves
pleasant-memories among those left
in that circle.

The Clare County East Michigan
Tourist Association Council met in
the salesroom of Bob's Sales and Service Thursday evening of last week,
with Secretary Robert Archambault
calling the meeting to order. Paul-,
Gibson was elected vice president and
presided in the absence of President
Harold Fleming.
The group discussed the Michigan
State College tourist, educational serv-1
ice and   looked" over   cottage   plans'
which the college is working on in pre- j
paration for a book they will publish*. |
The cooperation of newspapers in disseminating educational tourist publicity was also discussed.
Harold Fleming, Emil Bucholz and
Bob Archambault were appointed a
committee to meet with the Clare
County Road Commission next Thursday to solicit their cooperation in
marking the county roads in Clare
eodnty for the benefit and convenience
of tourists and those living in the rural areas.
A public meeting will be held in the
uear future, when Conservation Officer
Wayne Tennant will tell many interesting facts concerning the lakes,
streams, and hunting grounds of the
county and the best routes to take to
leach these locations. This information will be invaluable to sporting
goods store, gas station, hotel, restaurant and resort operators and anyone
who comes in contact with visiting
sportsmen and tourists.
Mr. Fleming, who had been at a special meeting of the City Council, joined
the group and it was decided to meet
again at Bob's Sales and Service
Thursday, May 2nd.
Th'e purpose of the council is not
to replace any of the existing organizations in the county, but to encourage them and work with them on tourist matters. Funds will not be raised
hy soliciting individual memberships
or donations, as the. council- is a nonprofit organization and does hot "wish
to compete financially with civic organizations.
It is the policy of the' council, however, to compete with some forty other
slates in advertising for tourist business and improve tourist facilities to
keep pace with this advertising program. *~*
Local Citizen
Duped By Check
Forger March 14
Mel Earley,* local service station
operator, was swindled out of a dollar's worth of gasoline and ?29.00
March 14 when a man claiming to be
Charles C. Mason and a supervisor for
Greyhound Bus Lines, gave him a $30
check drawn on an Illinois bank, in
payment for gas,
According to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, who are investigating
the case, the perpetrator of tlie crime
has cashed more than thirty worthless checks throughout the Middle
West.
The forger was dressed in a Greyhound bus driyers uniform and drove
a 1939 Chevrolet two door coach.
This all reminds us of the persistent warnings of our local bankers,
"Know Your Endorser," when cashing
checks.

Clare High School auditorium this
Friday morning at 10:30 o'clock.
The children will be excused from
classes for the showing and any interested parentB or friends of tho
school are welcome fo attend.
Boys Warned to
Be Careful With
Their .22 Rifles
Spring fever that sends juveniles
afield with .22 caliber rifles may get
their pareftts into trouble, and the conservation department wants it definitely known that its off-season gun permits authorize no indiscriminate shooting!
The department,has been issuing
gun permits at the rate of 500 a week
since the first of the year, many of
them to returned servicemen, for such
legitimate purposes as target practice
and the killing of crows and predators.
Small boys abroad after the winter's
confinement have been guilty of shooting at telephone pole insulators, bottles tossed into the river,, songbirds,
and even windows of vacant buildings.
Few of them, roaming the countryside
with gun and gun permit, realize that,
just as in hunting season, they must
be accompanied by parent or other
qualified elder person until they pass
their seventeenth birthday. Laws
against trespass affect them just as
strongly as in hunting season, also.
Conservation officers who -find unaccompanied juveniles using firearms
in a way to alarm surburban residents
may hold the guns until the parents
are'interviewed. Older offenders may
be pro'seeuted for careless „,ae of firearm!!.
The Mass of the Resurrection will
be held at St. Henry's Church of Rosebush, US-27, at nine o'clock Easter
morning. Services will begin with a
procession into Church of all those on
ceremonies. The main altar will be
flanked by large palm trees and richly . decorated with lilies, deep pink
snapdragons, daffodils and hyacinths
Many tall candles and gold-tinted" electric lights will give the Sanctuary a
resplendent halo of light.
The choir and organist will present
the following music program: 1, Processional hymn, "Alleluia, Let the
Holy Anthems Rise"; 2. Choral music
for tlie Easter Mass; 3. Offertory, "Re:
gina Coeli Laetare"; 4. Organ Reses-
sioiial, "Pomp and Circumstance." The
electric steeple chimes will also play
the traditional Easter melodies before
and after services.
The text of Father Grant's sermon
will be: '"This is the d*ay which the
Lord hath made: let us rejoice and be
glad in it." Ps. CXVII, 24.
The regular liturgical Holy Week
services will be held Thursday, Friday
and Saturday mornings, at eight
o'clock. Good Friday afternoon from
two to three, there will be special
services consisting of the Way of the
Cross and, several sermons depicting
the suffering and death of the Savior.
The Church will be draped in black
for\Good Friday.
Confessions on Holy Saturday will
be from three to five, in the afternoon,
and from\seven-thirty to nine-thirty in

had been making their home in Clare
to be*" near their daughter... •    *
Last Friday night the Family
League held their First Annual Bowling Banquet at Twin Elms, after finishing the schedule by bowling early in*
the evening. The league can really
be proud of its achievement for a first
year league and under the handicap
of other social activities which fill the
calendar for Friday night.
Leo Russell acted as master of ceremonies and did a real job on a moment's notice, which shows that he has
what it takes to be next year's president of the Bowling Association.
After checking the records, he found
that the Clare Majors^and the American Legion "were'tied for fir^t place
at the finish; so they will have to bowl
at some future date to determine the
winner of first place.
Dorothy Buzard, secretary-treasurer
of the league, did a good job of keep'-'
ing the records, also the decorating of
the tables for the banquet, with the
help of the Clare Majorettes,
George Wisler had high score of the
season with 233; and Del Bradley,
high average of 166; Dorothy Buzard's
201 and average of 145, was high for
Ihe ladies.
•At the banquet Frank. Thilly reported for the Legion on their trip to
State Tournament at Jackson, explaining the nickel the Hotel Otsego paid
him.
Del Bradley thanked the bowlers
lor their patronage and hoped they
would all be back next year with a
lull eight, teams.
The Rosiers did a wonderful job on
the  dinner.    Everyone, had  a  swell
time and is still talking about it.
Fraternal   League  Banquet
The lid was off! Restraint was forgotten and the evening's pace was
"full speed ahead for fun," when the
bowlers of the Fraternal I^e&gue got
together for a stag banquet at the
Hotel' Doherty, Tuesday evening to
mark the season's close.
President Larry Beck received a
tumultuous ovation when he arose to
speak, aiid when the deafening cheers
had died away, he presented Leo
Brown, master of ceremonies for the
presentation of "renleihbrances" who
polished up his act for this time honored custom, and dragged out the assortment of gew-gaws, gadgets and gizmos to present to members of the
league for the 1945-48 season. No one
escaped the ribbing as the "hot shots"
and "butterflies" heard themselves
called one by one, to take their medicine. Prizes ranged from *a comb
awarded to Austin Bates, (a dainty little two-foot-long model to help keep
the hair out of his eyes), to a beautiful statuette trophy which will be
awarded to the winner of the 1947
Masons vs. K* of C competition, aud a
bale of phony money to Martin Loomis
(to pay off when he loses bets on high
score to Mrs. Loomis).
On the serious side of the program
was the awarding of numerous cash
prizes for individual, and team scores
won by members of this league in the
City Tournament.
Competing fraternal organizations
in the season's play were Kiwanis,
Masonic lodge, K of C, and Rotary.

SAVE A LITTLE FOOD;
SAVE AJjOT OF LIVES,
IN EUROPE AND ORIENT
One Slice of Bread Per Persoit
In Clare County Equals*-
410 Loaves Daily
The people of Clare County, if every
person   will   save   only   one   slice- of
bread each day, can provide 410 loaves'*
of bread daily to help keep 820 people"
alive in famine-plague'd areas of Europe or  China or India,  according, ta'
Robert C.  Kleiner,  chairman of the*
Clare County AAA Committee who Is
serving as County Emergency    FoodU
Program manager.   By stepping up'to**-
two  slices  daily—one  at dinner and*
one at supper—twice as many starving.,
people can be aided.
Former President Herbert HbW«rv-
in his first eye-wifness report on' the * -
food situation in Europe, declared that-
"food conditions are difficult' b'ui n<f&
intolerable,  provided  present ration^
can   be    maintained.    The American;
people can still avert widespread starvation by saving and shipping more-
food."      ,
According to Mr. Hoover, the daily-
bread ration in Italy—where bread,
makes up< two-thirds of the daily dielj .
—is about eight ounces, considerably-
less than half the size of the average
loaf here in the United States, The
Italians are now receiving about 6.E»
ounces oE fats and' oils per month anfi-
about seven ounces of sugar per
month. In France and in French Nortfe.
Africa, the bread ration equals slightly more than .half a loaf per day per
person and here, too, bread is the principal part of the diet.
One  person who  saves  a slice o£
bread at each meal may not be able to<
see just how that saving will help feed-
people in Europe or Asia, but such savings multiplied in millions of Amerl- ■
can homss each day, will most certainly enable this country to load the ships
with food  that is needed to preveufc"-
mass starvation overseas.
