Although Dawdy, the CMGA champion, is one ot* Portland's younger players, he is a golf veteran with many a
tough match under his belt. He has
come up the "championship way" from
caddy to seasoned match player, to
champion. Many of the older club
members who have seen him play his
good steady game while in competition with men of more experience will
say, "I told you so." Fans of the game
will -continue to keep all eye oil him,
expecting more great things as "his
gam. continues to improve.
The golf course was reported in good
condition for the event although some
players were occasionally handicapped
by bad lies on the unwatered fairways.
Play was according to USGA tournament rules for the first time this season at Twin Elms, whose members
have been enjoying "winter golf" up to
now. *

MANY KROGER STORE
EMPLOYEES SERVED
WITH ARMED FORCES
More Than Seventy-five Percent Have Returned
to Company
Approximately 40 per cent of all
regular employees of The Kroger Co.
served in the armed forces during the
war, Joseph B. Hall, Kroker president,
"revealed in his semi-annual report released to ___u*-holders this week,
He added that most of the 7,500
Kroger veterans who have been on
military leave of absence have been
released from the service and more
than 75 per cent of them are back
with tlie company. In his report Mr.
Hall laid particular stress on the additional strength the organization has
gained through the return of these
veterans.
In a recent interview he said: Almost without exception ,we -ind our
veterans are more capable and more
serious about their jobs than when
they left. Experience and added maturity they gained while in the service
stand them in good stead now that
they are back.
"Every returning Kroger veteran
is given an opportunity to renew acquaintances in the organization and
to discuss our key operating changes
that "have taken place during the war.
We want them to know immediately
how much we have missed them and
how glad-we are to have them back.
In many instances retraining or additional training is provided before the
veteran actually goes "-back on the
job. Of course, he is paid his full
salary during any training or reorientation period. Probabiy as a result of
this program, there have been"no ser-.
ious readjustment problems," he continued. , - •
Reporting stiles of $236,475,155 and
net income of $4,193,731 for the first
'24 weeks of 1946, Mr. Hall pointed out
that this amounts to less than two
cents return on each dollar of sales.
Average number of Kroger stores
operated in midwest and southern
states during the first half of 1946 was
2,704, a decrease of 14.3 from the Same
period a year ago.
ROSEBUSH PLANS
UNIT SCHOOL AT
MEETING FRIDAY
Directors %i Six Districts
Become Investigating
Committee
A meeting of members of the school
boards of the surrounding districts
was held in the Isabella town hall,
Priday night, June 28th, for the purpose of discussing the possibilities of
a township school,
The gathering was well attended by
representatives of the boards as well
as several interested persons not officially connected with the schools. Commissioner James A. Knapp, of Mt.
Pleasant, was present to give such information as related to his department.
Lou Moon read a letter from Don-
Stack, of the State Department of
Education, which was received following a personal interview when Mi*.
Moon and Roy Matteson had approached Mr. Stack regarding the school sit-
H'aHon in this community. The merits^
of the Rural Agricultural School and
the set up necessary to build such a
school were discussed, Mr. Stack's
letter stating that a group of eighteen
governmental sections may band together for a Rural Agricultural School
with grades through the seventh.
In order to set up a township unit
school it will first be necessary to circulate a petition, which when signed
by 25% of the crualified voters may be
presented to the township board, requesting that an election be held to
determine the will of the people. If
a township unit is desired, a five man
board is set up to control the unit.
A fund may ^ien be started upon a
favorable vote of the electors by a
.005 levy and continued over a five
year period during which time the
present school system would operate
in the usual manner. At the end of
the five year period building would
begin. The school districts would remain intact for a five year period and
If* at the end of the experimental time
the majority of them wished to withdraw from the unit, the plan would
he abolished.
Preston Johnson reported a telephone conversation he had with Mr.
Stack, in which the latter expressed
willingness to come to Rosebush and
discuss with the people the various
plans for improving the school situation. Mr. Johnson had also talked
with Dr. Eugene Elliott in Lansing in
the spring and learned that this community was one of the few in the entire state which had no plans for bringing their school systems up to date
and taking advantage of the various
aids offered by the State and Federal
government.
Commissioner Knapp was asked to
act as temporary chairman in order
that a motion might be made by Will
Calkins that the directors of the six
school districts, (Isabella Nos.-l, 2, 3,
4, 5 and 6) become an investigating
committee and report their findings
to the people. Lloyd Spaulding supported* the motion which was carried.
Mr.. Spaulding was named chairman
of the committee.
At the close of the session Mrs J
Dora Walker served ice cream and
cake-to the group. She was assisted
by Mrs. Tom Pall and Mrs. Prank
Lynch:

SOIL CONSERVATION
DISTRICTS PLANTING
TREES IN MICHIGAN
Soil Conservation Specialist
fp<m\n£ to,Clare County
Ltsa
For Meeting
Three million trees wore planted by
farm cooperators of, Michigan soil conservation districts in 1945.
Since soil conservation districts
were started in 1938 more than eighteen million trees have been planted
in the soil conservation districts.
Most of the planting has been of
white, jack, red and Scotch pine and
Norway and white spruce, although in
some localities, shrubs were used.
Plantings l>ave been confined largely
to small areas on farms wliich are not
suitable to cultivation or pasture. However, in many localities, plantings
have been made to reduce wind and
water erosion.
In some soil conservation districts,
harvesting of Christmas trees from
early plantings started last winter.
This is especially true in the West
Ottawa District where a cooperative
Christmas tree marketing association
has been set up to facilitate the sale
of the crop.
All of the conservation districts in
the state have some tree plantings included as a part of .their program.
Clare County farmers interested /in
tree planting and other soil conservation practices should consider establishing a soil conservation district as a
means of bringing this specialized
service to them and their neighbors. A
soil conservation district is established
on a county wide basis if desired. A
board of directors is elected from the
participating farmers, a specially
trained technician is supplied by the
TJ. S. Dept. of Agriculture to help farmers plan their soil conservation projects and supervise the work. Specialized equipment is paid, for by those
who employ it
Ort July 26 to 29 Mr. W. R. Tullis of
the soil conservation service of Ludington will be ia Clare county meeting
farmers and discussing soil conservation at meetings where complete details consernilig the district organization will be explained.

SENTINEL COMMENDED
FOR COOPERATING IN
PULP WOOD CAMPAIGN
Continued Efforts in Behalf of
Urgent Reconversion Need
of Paper
It is really one of life's inost embarrassing moments-when someone pub
licly tells another how good he is. A
fellow doesn't know just what to say,
how to say it. . or even how to defend
himself. .
That is the position this newspaper
found itself to this-week as a result of
the. statement released by the TJ. S.
Pulpwood Council "in apprecation of
the important contribution rendered"
by us and many Of our contemporaries
in furthering the U, S. Victory Pulpwood campaign.
And the Council went on, to say:
"After V-J Day many elements in our
population suffered a noticeable letdown. Yet your newspaper has continued in these months of peace to
unselfishly campaign in behalf of the
nation's urgent reconversion needs for
more paper, paperboard and other
pulpwood products."
Well, what can a fellowjsay to that?
After considerable deliberation we
have decided that, in self-defense, we
ought to explain to the TJ. S. Pulpwood
Council some of our reasons for continuing our support:
We believe, for example, that pulpwood is a mighty fine cash crop;
We believe" that a farm woodlot,
properly cut each year, is just about
as good insurance; as a farmer can
have against a total crop "failure;
We believe "that our woodlands are
an extremely important asset to all
the. people of this community..contributing in-one way or another to every
person-s" welfare.
We believe in the people who live
in this community, and we believe we
owe it to them, to repeatedly remind
them of these and other important
truths that they are sometimes apt to
forget.
And Oh, Yes! We want to thank
the U. S. Pulpwood Council for its
recognition of the part we are playing.

CLARE YOUNG MEN *
PLAY WINNING ROLE
HOLLYWOOD LEAGUE
Lyle Bond and Stanley Kleiner
Battery For Station KF1
Softball Team
A pair of boyhood chums from Clare,
Michigan, have been greatly responsible foi* the recent fine showing of
Radio Station KFI's entry in the Holly-
wood Softball League. Forming the
battery for the KFI-ers, who have won
five Of their last six games, are KFI
announcer Lyle Bond and his lifelong
buddy, Stanley Kleiner.
In a league composed of the teams
of Andy Russell, Bob Hope, Dick
Haynies, Mickey Rooney and the American Broadcasting Co., Bond's -pitching and Kleiner's hitting have.become
higlily respected—and well it might be.
too. In the last three games, which
KFI has won 3-2, 3-0 and 4-3, Kleiner's
hits have .driven in he deciding runs
while Bond's pitching, has been practically unhitable. Stanley, by the way,
.is hitting .391 in this Class AA league.
Lyle, we might add, is the team manager.
When playing sOftball in their Home
town of Clare, they were always on
opposing teams. Kleiner played for
Eagle and Bond pitched for Dover.
Each now attributes his success on
the diamond to the fact they are playing with, rather than against, each,
other. Lyle says he'd much rather
pitch to Stan as his catcher than as
an opposition hitter. KFI fans hope
that the league umpires will announce
—"Batteries for tonight's game! For
KFI - Bond, pitching; Kleiner, catching-—"" for a long time to come.

In his report Mr. Hall laid particular stress on the additional strength the organization has gained through the return of these veterans. In a recent interview he said: Almost without exception ,we -ind our veterans are more capable and more serious about their jobs than when they left. Experience and added maturity they gained while in the service stand them in good stead now that they are back. "Every returning Kroger veteran is given an opportunity to renew acquaintances in the organization and to discuss our key operating changes that "have taken place during the war. We want them to know immediately how much we have missed them and how glad-we are to have them back. In many instances retraining or additional training is provided before the veteran actually goes "-back on the job. Of course, he is paid his full salary during any training or reorientation period. Probabiy as a result of this program, there have been"no ser-. ious readjustment problems" he continued. , - • Reporting stiles of $236,475,155 and net income of $4,193,731 for the first '24 weeks of 1946, Mr. Hall pointed out that this amounts to less than two cents return on each dollar of sales.
