MEMORIAL DAY
(BSERVED HERE
WITH
ENC
Services Held at Cemetery
and Honor Roll in
City Park
Memorial Day was fittingly observed
here Thursday of last week with many
taking part in-.the impressive parade
aud sfervices, . The Clare High School
hand marched £mm the school to McEwan' Street, where they exhibited
marching maneuver's, hefore going to
the «ity park to join in memorial
services at the Honor Roll which were
in charge of the Veterans of Foreign
"Wars, with Captain Tim Cotter presiding. Captain Cotter spoke feelingly
•of the deeds- performed by tliose whose
names appear on tbe Honor Roll and
more especially of those who will not
veturn and in whose memory •■a. "wreath
was laid at the foot of the Honor Soil,
The line of march included the color ^uard, firing squad, high school
band, men and women veterans of all
branches of the armed services, Odd
Fellows, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and
school children, and although not as
many veterans participated in the
parade as had been expected, many
more were among the spectators.
General chairman Art Damoth and
program chairman Capt. Tim Cotter
presided at the service at the cemetery which was opened by the National Anthem played by the high school
band.
Rev. Chas. B. Hahn offered prayer,
followed by a vocal solo by Miss Doris
Gerow with Harold Collins at the
piano.
Lt. Donald Holbrook, U.S.N.R.,
spoke eloquently of the service of his
comrades in arms; the sacrifices of
wives, mothers and sweethearts; the
cause in which all fought; and the ultimate victory that we all cherish and
must perpetuate.
Commander Cleland Green of the local V.F.W. Post placed a wreath on
the soldiers monument erected in
honor of veterans of all wars, and a
firing squad under the command of
Capt. Jiggs Tope fired a volley over
the graves of the war heroes who repose in Cherry Grove cepietery.
Wallace Crigier' gotinde^^^J^nl,.
ail paused & moihent .an&'theh' departed for their homes -tO ponder over the
sacrifice of war, the debt wfe owe those
who served in it and the blessings of
peace.
A bit of color and patriotism was
added to the observance of the day by
the many flags waving from the boulevard light posts -along the city streets
and flown from the homes and public
places.
City employees, under the direction
of Mayor John W. Dunlop, had cleaned
the streets and alleys particularly well
just before Memorial Day and visitors
were heard to remark about the neatness of the city.
Although Memorial Day is appropriately observed here each year, the
spirit of reverence for those who gave
their all and pride for those who served so well and then returned to their
loved ones, seemed deeper and less
strained this year with the clouds of
war passed by.
Dex Elden Tells
of Press' Part in
^Civic Progress
Clare in her earlier days came into
the spotlight' at the Rotary program
noon Wednesday, when Dex JElden produced material for his remarks from
the 1901 files of -The Clare Sentinel
and linked the growth of the city to
the advances made in its newspaper,
one of the oldest established businesses here.
Choosing tho files of the year 1901
for the reason that M, D. Feighner,
present publisher, began his association with the paper in that year, the
speaker illustrated with news memos,
old and new, and with mention of
many of Clare county's pioneer citizens and their doings, to point his
theme, "the progress of Clare and
her people in tlie forty-five years just
past"
"The community newspaper, perhaps more than any other enterprise,
reflects the spirit and peculiar conditions of the times. It mirrors the
temper of the people and their reactions to events of day to day passing.
The town's history found between the
lines of old, half forgotten issues relates our .sure progress," he said.
Plans for the Clare Rotary Rodeo,
originally scheduled for July 4th here,
have been abandoned. President Bill
Byers made the announcement, explaining that unforseen difficulties
have made the event impossible in
the short .tune remaining for preparation.

CARPENTER FARM
BARN BURNED TO
GROUNDTHURSDAY
Rural   F|re t Truck   Saves
it        Barn Struck By
Lightning
The Clare rural fire truck was called
to the Ed. Carpenter farm three miles
east of Clare on US-10 and a niile and
a half south, at 10:00 o'clock Memorial
Day morning, and upon reaching the
place found the large farm barn practically destroyed by fire and fire in
the large nearby poultry house beyond control, but through the efforts
of the firemen, the. farm house and
garage were saved.
Reroofing of the bam had been completed only the day before and the
poultry house was new.
The cause of the fire could not be
definitely determined.
Lightning Strikes Barn
The rural fire truck answered a summons to the Fred Sexton farm one
mile south and half a mile east of
Clare, at 1:00 o'clock Friday afternoon, where lightning had struck and
started fire in the barn.
The fire had made considerable
headway, but by the use of the pumper and booster tank and able assistance of neighbors, the fire was extinguished after burning a hole some fifteen or twenty feet square in'the south
side of the building. The loss is covered by insurance.
The Sextons were genuinely appreciative of the services of the fire fighters and rural truck in saving their
barn and the many farm implements
stored in it.
Value of Rural Truck
In these fires and many others in
which valuable farm buildings, livestock, hay and feed, and almost priceless implements, have been saved, the
rural truck has prevented losses that
would have run. into unpredictable
thousands of dollars.
Although farmers have paid for tbe
cost of the services of tlie rural truck
willingly in the past, it would seem
that it would be a fine thing if funds
could be provided by the townships
1'or this fire protection the same as
Other^piihlie services are provided in
the liiwnRJDiips and fire protection is
provided iii' thg cifjes and villages.

Kiwanis International announced today that its 160,000 members through-
our the United States and Canada purchased and sold war bonds valued at'
more than $2,449,000,000 during World
War II.
In a special message to clubs observing All Kiwanis Week, June 9 to 15,
Hamilton Holt, Macon, Ga., prominent
southern industialist and president of
Kiwanis International, also revealed
that Kiwanians collected 3,144,245
tons of scrap, donated 218,212 pints
of blood and obtained additional blood
donors numbering 488,736.
All Kiwanis Week, observed each
year at the time of the Kiwanis International convention, will give members unable to attend the 1946 meeting this week at Atlantic City, N. J.,
au opportunity to hold special fellowship sessions and review their club's
accomplishments.
Several thousand business and professional leaders from all sections of
the United-States-ftilff'^Oanada-haveindicated they will be on hand for Kiwanis International's 1946 Victory
Convention, breaking previous attendance records.
The speaking program will feature,
among others, General Omar N. Bradley, administrator of Veterans Affairs,
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P.
Anderson, Rep. Clare Boothe Luce of
Connecticut, William K. Jackson, recently elected president of the Cham
ber of Commerce of the United States,
Drew Pearson, newspaper columnist
and radio commentator, and Harold
E. Stassen, former governor of Minnesota.

While the work of Kiwanis with
youth groups and the underprivileged
continues on a greater scale than ever
before, Kiwanians are making significant contributions in the field of pub-
lie affairs, his message revealed.
"All over the United States and
Canada," Holt declared, "our members
realize that we must give eaz'nest and
relentless attention to the basic problems which so vitally affect us. We
are convinced that these problems, if
they are solved at all, must be solved
by the rank and file citizenry of the
world."
"We of the United States and Canada cannot do the job alone," continued Holt, "but 160,000 unselfish business and professional men can make a.
mighty effort. Our program is clear
cut. It stresses the extreme importance of basic human values in all considerations as the one hope for permanent peace, unity and opportunity.'"

other sons, H. D„ who operates a bakery in Manistee, and R. A., who operates a bakery in Marshall.
Mrs. L. M. Galloway and Mrs. Robert Galloway and little daughter, Molli

bakery wish to assure their patrons
of tha same high quality baked goods

have been accustomed and that they
will fill all the needs of 'former patrons and new friends as far as the
present stringent foojfl restrictions will
permit.

Don't throw stones at passenger cars
or train crews.

DECORATION DAY
Ball Teams of the Rosebush
Community Play
During Day
A crowd of some 500 people were
out Memorial Day to take advantage
o£ the new Memorial Field facilities
and from the enthusiastic)'reports of
those present the participators and
the, spectators really enjoyed the fun.
The ball games ■ played between
West Rosebush and .North, Rosebush
ended with the former winning I'S'" tg>.
6. East Rosebush played the Rose
bush team and lost 7 to 11. The Walton girls team played the Rosebush
girls a spirited game with a resulting
hard fought score of 16 to 15 in favor
of Walton.
A twilight game was played between
Nottawa and Isabella athletes with
the score winding up in favor of Rosebush.
The refreshment stand operated at
capacity most.of the afternoon with a
profit of about $60.00, plus leftover
supplies of $10.00. All the women of
the community helped with this work
and a very fine spirit of cooperation
prevailed,
Coleman Lewis has donated a two
burner gas plate which will make the
preparation of food much easier.
Merle Barnhart will install the plate
Monday evening. Gerald Graham donated a sink which will also greatly
lighten the work at the stand.
The women of the Catholic Church
have charge of the refreshments this
week and the Presbyterian women
will take over next week.-
One of the features of Memorial
Day which the crowd enjoyed was
the public address system loaned by
Coleman Peters, over wliich Preston
Johnson interviewed many of the
young people, getting their reactions
to the occasion and their opinions regarding the field.
Swings and games were enjoye'd by
the very young folk while some of
the older ones took advantage of the
horse shoe pitching. Improvements
are constantly being added to the
grounds and the value of the recreational facilities is becoming more and
more apparent.
