The storm extended, over a wide

Much credit is due Mrs. Herbert
Randall, who served as production
chairman most of the year, and Mrs.
Tim Frey, knitting chairman.
The resignation of Mrs. G. E. Lamb,
of Farwell, as Home Service Chairman of Clare county was received
with regret. Mrs. Lamb has served
Red Cross faithfully and conscientiously for several years, both as
County Chairman, production chairman and Home Service Chairman, and
we regret very much that she cannot
continue with her active work.
Her report for the past year is as
follows: Assisted 107 soldiers in Army, three in the Navy, 12 ex-servicemen and four civilians. She traveled
788 miles in her work and spent many
hours in consultation at home.
Clare County Chapter was presented with a citation for valuable services by the British Red Cross Society
and Order of St. John. The county
chairmen who presided during the war
years were presented with citations
from National Red Cross at Washington.
National Headquarters has requested all chapters to close their fiscal
years June 30th and Clare County
Chapter officers will be elected at that
time. A Home Service Chairman to
succeed Mrs. Lamb will be appointed
soon.
All are requested to keep the dates
in mind for the Blood Clinic January

•With thiit*an ^regular employees
and four substitutes working many
extra hours, the Clare post-office
staff handled a record amount of mail
matter during this year's Christmas
rush period.
Records were again broken in the
single day and also the total season
tally of cancellations, with 20,000
pieces of mail cancelled Tuesday, December 17th, and more than 100,000
cancelations December 13th through
December 23rd, and this does not include any incoming mail, either incoming or outgoing bulky letters that
will not go through the cancelling
machine, nor any parcel post.
The growing popularity of sending
Christmas greeting cards was manifested by the fact that the Clare post
office sold approximately 90,000 1%
cent stamps during the above period
and thousands of greeting cards were
sent by first class mail with 3c stamps
affixed. $2100.00 worth of postage
stamps were sold during the above
period and this does not include packages, cards and letters mailed early or
very late nor the postage paid for
newspapers anad permit mailing.
Despite heavy mails making the
mail trains late and the huge amount
of mail handled through the local
post office, including mail transferred,
remarkably efficient window and delivery service was maintained and we
feel that Postmaster Frank Jackson,
Assistant Postmaster Gordon Mcintosh and the entire staff are entitled
to a great deal of credit.

His impressions of this great "New
World" were such that as soon as possible he took out his naturalization

most recent being the confectionery
business, where for .twenty-two years
he and his wife served the public.
Two years ago the Eisenhauers
celebrated their golden wedding anniversary by retiring from business
and settling in .a home on Hall street.
Retiring from business meant he

I City Affairs j
In a series of articles, which will
appear in this paper, I wish to enlighten the tax payers of the City of
Clare on the immediate problems in
which you as a tax payer should be
vitally interested, and which face
your governing body.
The tax rate has increased $6.96
per thousand this year. Will it continue to increase, or i& it just a post
war condition, or perhaps the Council?
If we analyze the. tax increases over
previous years it is evident that Fire,
Sewer,. Police and Street Tax have
taken the increases in their respective
order.
Why have these departments of
your city increased from double to
four times last year figures.
Perhaps it would be well to state
at this point, Clare is a fourth Class
City, and as such is governed by the
Laws of the State of Michigan which
in particular govern the life, health
and .property of the people not only
living in Michigan but also those who'
pass tMOttgh.

NO PRICE ADVANCES
FOR FISHING LICENSES
IN STATE THIS YEAR
Commercial Fishing Licenses
Now On Calendar
Year Basis
New Year's day means new fishing
licenses for both sport and commercial fishermen, and the conservation
department still is issuing them at the
same old -price.
For the ordinary resident angler,
the $1.00 fee covers ice fishing in
winter, trout fishing in the spring,
lake fishing for perch, pike, bass and
bluegills in the summer, rainbow trout
fishing in the fall and ice fishing again
next December. And his wife can go*
along free.
For the nonresident fisherman, a
$2.00 fee covers all kinds of fishing
the year around. If nonresident's
visit is brief, he can fish for 10 days
for a $1.00 fee.
These bargain prices, now out of
line with other advancing costs, are
the subject of conservation commission recommendations for revisions,
for consideration of the 1947 Legislature. But the fisherman buying his
license now will find the fees—and
the fishing regulations unchanged.
Commercial fishing license fees are
graduated according to the type and
Size of tho fishing craft. Until this
year the license renewal time for'
Michigan's 1,300-odd commercial fishermen came July 1, during a busy season, but half-year licenses issued for
the latter part of 1946 brought their
license period to a calendar year basis
also. '

Anyone who has ever lived on a
farm knows that the farmer has some
problems. While the individual farmer's problems may seem small, there
are some rural problems in the United States that deserve some attention
and thought.
Gleaned from studies developed- by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
snd Michigan State College extension
specialists are these faets:
One out of every five persons in the
United States lives on a farm and
another fifth of our population lives
■fn rural areas strictly dependent upon
farms.
The farm population includes about
one-third of all the children in our
nation. That, means that two out of
every five children on the farm will
eventually become a city resident
When a farm child grows up and
moves to the city, he automatically
subsidizes it to the extent of $2,000,
the amount of money out of farm income that it costs to grow and educate him.
Farm people Supply about one-half
of our increase in population.
Rural areas have more than half
of the U. S. children under fifteen
years of age. They also have a high'
er proportion of persons over sixty-
five years.of age. For that reason
they face an unfair share of educational responsibilities and health
problems.
In Michigan the average age of the
farmer is fifty years. Those over
fifty-five years of age make up 35% of
the total. That's the age when most,
business and laboring people start
thinking about retirement. Only 15%
of the Michigan farmers are under
thirty-five years of age.
What's the answer? Well, there is
no'immediate answer, but it's a problem about which rural sociologists do
considerable thinking.
The large bam on the old Joe Hudson place, five miles north and a half
mile east of Clare, now the property
j of the James A. McKay estate, hurned
to the ground Tuesday morning. The
I fire was discovered about 8:00 o'clock
and the Clare Fire Department rural
truck summoned, but the firemen
could see the billowing smoke by the
,■ -time they reached Schaeffpr's Hill and
the building was burned to the sills
by the time they reached it. »
Don Rhodes, foreman on the farm,
who lives on the McKay home fai'm
three-quarters of a mile west, was do»
ing chores at the barn there when he
first saw the flames. Although the
i cause of the fire is not definitely
known, it is thought that it was probably caused by an electric water
pump. No one is known to have been
at the barn that morning before the
fire.
Four horses, eleven cattle, a sow
ind ten pigs, more than 160 tons of
hay, a large quantity of grain, a tractor, feed grinder, all the usual barn
equipment and an undetermined
quantity of other items were destroyed by the fire.
This is the second severe loss th§
McKays have suffered by fire in recent years, two large barns • on the
home farm being burned to the ground
a few years ago.
Farwell Home Burned
Mr, and Mrs. Murchie Lucy and fam-
.ily, of Farwell, lost their home by firs
Christmas Eve. One son, William, is
overseas, Mr. and Mrs. Lucy were
working at the Surrey House in Harrison, a daughter, Beverly, was ex-'
changing gifts in the neighborhood,
and another son, Raymond, 13; was at
home alone when he discovered fire
near the registers in the living room
and dining room about 4:00 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon of last week.
The fire, apparently starting* in thS'
basement or in the wall between the
living room and dining room, had
made considerable headway by the'
time the Farwell" Fire Department
could reach the building,' and all that
could{ibe -saved was the outer framework and siding, the house being completely gutted by the flames and practically destroyed, as were the family's'
personal effects and household fnrif
ishings.
Damage to the house and contents
was estimated at $2500, fully covered
by insurance. They expect to rebuild as soon as materials are available. '
