FARWELL CHURCH
SOCIAL PARLORS
rfW COMPLETED
Auld Lang Syne and Labor
Day Dinner to Be
Served There
After many months of planning and
work, the W.S.C.S. of the Farwell
Methodist Church have realized their
cherished wish, the basement of the
church made into a place to serve
gatherings, not for just the church
members, but for community organizations or family groups.
The church has been raised aud a
new entrance made on the street level. From this, steps lead up to the
church proper and down to the basement, which is complete with a fireplace in the end to lend that cheery
touch so often lacking in such places.
The walls are painted, fluorescent
lights installed and there are tables
and seating for large groups. The
kitchen is furnished and ready for the
big home-coming.
The Auld Lang Syne will hold forth
here on Saturday evening, but the
big day for the W.S.C.S. will be Monday, Labor Day, September 2, when
they will serve their first big dinner
at the church, starting at 11:00 a, m.
arid continuing until the food is gone.
The menu is not complete at this time
but one can be assured they will have
plenty to eat for the $1.00 the ladies
are charging. Who ever heard of
going hungry at a church dinner?
The proceeds of the dinner will go
toward the remodeling of the church
and all who attend can in this way
feel they have contributed a bit for a
worthy cause. Unless you are a
stranger ta- Farwell, you know the
church is the little white church on
the corner, two blocks north of the
hotel.
The "stage is set" at Farwell for
the events that former and present
residents of the village ancl community look forward to from one year to
the next, the annual home-coming and
Labor Day celebration. The festivities will open with the Auld Lang Syne
dinner and program in the new social
parlors of the Farwell Methodist
Church at 7:00 o'clock Saturday evening, August 31. *-*.
On Sunday morning all are invited
to attend special home-coming services in the churches'; at 2:30 Sunday
afternoon the dads will cross bats
with the lads in a baseball game; and
the Auld Lang Syne get-together will
be held at the Methodist Church in
the evening.
By Monday morning the gala week
end will be in full swing and lightweight and heavyweight horse pulling
contests will be held on the school
grounds at 10:00 a. m.
The afternoon program includes:
1:00 p. m.—Band concert,
1:10 p. m.—Stunts and games fox-
kids. ,

awarded.

to attend the celebration and have the
time of your life, whether you ever
lived in Farwell or not—Your friends
will be there.
total in prizes expected to be more
than one hundred dollars. Contest
entries are invited from anywhere in
Michigan, communications are to be
l addressed to the secretary of the
Clare Rotary Club, or to' Robert Kelsey, Clare, who is registering entries.
The miniature models are flown
and controlled at the end of wires
■which the contestants hold while the
planes are in flight. Fuel is a special
doped mixture which- provides the
maximum speed and power, and the
engines operate with tiny sparkplugs
and working parts in similar fashion
to those of regular sized planes.,These
little models have been clocked in
speed trials at amazing unofficial trial
runs up to 139 miles per hour, and
they exert great centrifugal pull on
their captive wires. Builders of
championship models are credited
with many new workable departures
from accepted aircraft design, and
new strange appearing machines will
probably be tested in flight at the
Clare exhibit.
Timing of the show for the end of
the second week of school is calculated to help fill the spectator stands
with young fans. Announcements
will be sent to classes and assemblies
and there will be no admission charge.

Win Six Inter Club' Matches
and Lose Two During
1946 Season
The golf match played Wednesday,
Ladies' Day at the Clare Country
Club, resulted in another win for Clare
women golfers over the Mt. Pleasant
visitors. The match score was 2%*2.
„ A rainy morning forced postponement of the match start until afternoon, but the ladies made themselves
comfortable at the clubhouse and enjoyed bridge games while the weather
cleared. Four and one-half foursomes teed off after lunch.
Harriet Naumes and Annabel Hamp-
toin tied for low score among the
Clare players with 49 strokes. A tie
for Mt. Pleasant also occurred when
Helen Renwick and Ruth Ward both
turned in 46.

CLARE BOWLERS
ELECT OFFICERS"'
WEDNESDAY N1TE
New "Four Point" System
To Be Used Scoring
Matches
Clare's bowlers, team sponsors, and
interested fans met Wednesday night
at rhp Doherty Hotel for their annual
Bowling Association meeting to officially open the 1946-47 season here.
More than fifty attended.
Dominic McConnell, president, opened the meeting and introduced the
guests: Forest Lauman, of Evart, new
manager who replaces Dell Bradley;
Lee DeLorge, editor of Bowling Line,
a bowlers publication in Bay City;
Karl Kanzler, a zone representative
of the Michigan Bowling Association
and Mr. Decker, owner of tlie alleys
here.
Kanzler, in a short talk, reported on
the recent State Association meeting
which picked Bay City as the site
for this year's tournament, and proposed a breakdown in competitive
groups for tournament events, accord'
ing to pin averages" for teams-
New officers were elected to head
the Association as follows: Leo Russell, president; Albert Haley, vice
president; and; George Wisler, secretary.
In a break away from the present
system of scoring matches according
to *pin scores, the bo*wlers favored a
new idea, the so-called "four point"
system. A point will be credited for
each game won in a three-line match,
and a fourth point will go to the team
having high pin total. Prize awards
will be made on a point basis instead of pin scores.
Mr. Lauman announced Monday,
September 1, as the opening date for
the local alleys.

stars of comedy, song and dance thi
National Barn Dance is coming to tht
Clare County Fair for one performance at the Fair Grounds on Wednea-
day evening, September 11.
There are many interesting features
of the new Barn Dance Show, -but the
main and original idea remains—rustic comedy and music in the setting
of a hay-loft. Bu£ it is -vaudeville
up-to-date, interspersed wi#th novelty
features of the highest standard.
It wasj 22*years ago, April 15, 1924,
that the first National Barn Dance
program took the air over WLS, then
located' in the Sherman Hotel, Chicago. When WLS moved to its present home, the Prairie Farmer Building, a studio was built with an audience auditorium for the listeners ol
the Barn Dance that came to Chicago
on Saturday night. The program's
popularity increased in leaps and
bounds and soon the auditorium in the
studio was too small to take care ol
the visitors.
Then WLS introduced another innovation to radio. The Barn Dance
Show was broadcast from the stage ol
a theatre. The Eighth Street Theatra
in Chicago was selected for this purpose and for the past eleven yeara,,
with the exception of the year the U_
S..Army had control of the building,,
the Barn Dan.ce has been playing ta
two capacity crowds every Saturday
night. More than a million persons-
have pajd admission to these broads-
casts.
Anything that ean last 22 years—
and especially entertainment—must
bave sump'n! The WLS National;
Barn Dance has. It is unique and distinctive; it is native American entertainment at Jits best. It presents tha
songs, music, laughs, and dances of
our couhtry. The artists have in-
dTff_uSI'*' -haracteris tics"' that' 'area.le*
a friendly atmosphere between artists and audience, and tliat is why*
the WLS National Barn Dance < Stars-
hold attendance records on personal
appearances in practically every city
and town in the mid-west.
No one will want to miss this entertainment feature on the opening
day of the Clare County Fair, which
will be held on the fair grounds at
Harrison September 11, 12, 13 and 14.
Four Days of Entertainment
Thursday will be Clare and Farwell.

Friday will be Harrison Day anfl

Saturday will be Veterans' Day,
when all veterans in uniform or wearing discharge buttons will be admit*?-
ted to the fairgrounds free of charge-
This includes men aud. women serving;
in all branches of service.
Mammoth displays of fireworks will
be shown both Friday and Saturday
evenings.

Contest entries are invited from anywhere in Michigan, communications are to be l addressed to the secretary of the Clare Rotary Club, or to' Robert Kelsey, Clare, who is registering entries. The miniature models are flown and controlled at the end of wires ■which the contestants hold while the planes are in flight. Fuel is a special doped mixture which- provides the maximum speed and power, and the engines operate with tiny sparkplugs and working parts in similar fashion to those of regular sized planes.,These little models have been clocked in speed trials at amazing unofficial trial runs up to 139 miles per hour, and they exert great centrifugal pull on their captive wires. Builders of championship models are credited with many new workable departures from accepted aircraft design, and new strange appearing machines will probably be tested in flight at the Clare exhibit. Timing of the show for the end of the second week of school is calculated to help fill the spectator stands with young fans. Announcements will be sent to classes and assemblies and there will be no admission charge. Mildred Stirling Lands Safely at Honolulu, T.H. Dr. and Mrs. Chas.

With a galaxy of he** stars of comedy, song and dance thi National Barn Dance is coming to tht Clare County Fair for one performance at the Fair Grounds on Wednea- day evening, September 11. There are many interesting features of the new Barn Dance Show, -but the main and original idea remains—rustic comedy and music in the setting of a hay-loft. Bu£ it is -vaudeville up-to-date, interspersed wi#th novelty features of the highest standard. It wasj 22*years ago, April 15, 1924, that the first National Barn Dance program took the air over WLS, then located' in the Sherman Hotel, Chicago. When WLS moved to its present home, the Prairie Farmer Building, a studio was built with an audience auditorium for the listeners ol the Barn Dance that came to Chicago on Saturday night. The program's popularity increased in leaps and bounds and soon the auditorium in the studio was too small to take care ol the visitors. Then WLS introduced another innovation to radio. The Barn Dance Show was broadcast from the stage ol a theatre. The Eighth Street Theatra in Chicago was selected for this purpose and for the past eleven yeara,, with the exception of the year the U_ S..Army had control of the building,, the Barn Dan.ce has been playing ta two capacity crowds every Saturday night. More than a million persons- have pajd admission to these broads- casts. Anything that ean last 22 years— and especially entertainment—must bave sump'n! The WLS National; Barn Dance has. It is unique and distinctive; it is native American entertainment at Jits best. It presents tha songs, music, laughs, and dances of our couhtry. The artists have in- dTff_uSI'*' -haracteris tics"' that' 'area.le* a friendly atmosphere between artists and audience, and tliat is why* the WLS National Barn Dance < Stars- hold attendance records on personal appearances in practically every city and town in the mid-west. No one will want to miss this entertainment feature on the opening day of the Clare County Fair, which will be held on the fair grounds at Harrison September 11, 12, 13 and 14.
