LAURENEE AND DOC.
FOOL WEATHER MAN
ON CANADIAN FLIGHT
But the Big Bad Wolf Outwits
"Flying Sportsmen" on
Lake Superior Ice
Well folks, most of us have known
for some time that Laurenee Seiter
and Dr. G. C. Born have been planning
to go fishing up in the wilds of Canada, where the men grow plenty of
hair on their chests and the fish grow
so big their scales won't cover them.
It seems that the boys had agreed to
take off in Laurenee's plane last
Thursday, weather permitting, and
when Thursday arrived and the weather couldn't make up its mind, the
boys decided to flip a coin—heads we
go, tails we don't—and after flipping
it fifteen times they finally managed
to turn up a head.
They left the Clare Airport at 11:00
o'clock Thursday morning and after
a pleasant four and a, half hour flight,
including time required to clear-customs at Sault Ste. Marie and flying
Out over Lake Superior to clear a low
ceiling, they sat their plane down up
at 'Mile 92" on the Algoma Central
Railway in Ontai'io, Canada, at Z:ZHt
that afternoon.
They flew out over Lake Superior
and twelve miles up the Montreal
River to the back waters bf the l'iver
dam and fished for pike Friday, with
mediocre luck, and on Saturday ferried Lloyd and Kay Hunter, tourist
operators, across the mountains in the

repetition of the first with the Pioneers distinctly outplaying their rivals

The Junior Pioneers won their tenth
straight game to the tune of 59-18.
Tonight Clare will meet Evart in
the final game of the season. In their
first meeting, the Evart Wildcats came
out on the long end of a. 25-23 score.
The Pioneers have not beaten Wildcat
basketball teams in the past several
seasons, although they have defeated
them in tournament play. The Pioneers broke a jinx of Jong standing by
defeating the Evart football team last
fall and the Pioneer basketeers will
make every effort to defeat the Wildcats here tonight. •

1947 ALLOWANCE
OF SUGAR NEARS
' PREWAR LEVELS
All Liquor Rationing  in
'   Miehi'gaivTo End
This Week
It was announced in Washington
Saturday that the United States had
accepted a division of the world supply of sugar for the coming year that
will allow Americans seventeen
pounds apiece* more than last year.
This year's quota of the world's export supply, together with home production, will provide a per capita allowance of about 90 pounds of refined
stigar, as compared with 73 pounds
last year and about 97 pounds in prewar years.
The division was made by the International Emergency Food Council, inter-governmental agency representing
more than twenty nations.
Of the 1947 supply of 90 pounds, individuals will probably receive 35
pounds through ration stamps and the
remainder in the form of candy, bakery products, other foods., soft drinks
and like products. Last year the individual ration was 25 pounds.
Division of the sugar among various
classes of users will be made by the
Department of Agriculture and OPA,
if these agencies receive congressional
authority and money to continue in
this capacity. Rationing authority
will end March 31 unless Congress
grants President Truman's request
that it be continued the rest of this
year.
Liquor  Ration  to   End
All liquor rations will end in Michigan this week, according to Felix H.
H. Flynn, who believes there is enough
bonded bourbon on hand for any demands, although the shortage of
Scotch continues. Liquor control officials are studying methods to limit
sales of 'Scotch to insure fair distribution.
Blends were removed from rationing
last Vear, leaving.only bonded bourbons, Scotch and some imported Canadian brands on the limited list.

Beat Coleman, Mt. Pleasant,
Evart Independent
Quintets
The Rockets, Clare's independent
basketballers, ran wild against teams
from Coleman and Mt. Pleasant, and
took an easy victory over Evart in
their last three games. 'They have
boosted their season's total wins to
eight out of the" nine games played.
The Coleman team, unable to cope
with the Rockets' fast breaks and accurate shooting, fell behind from the
game's start, and at the beginning of
the second half, the locals really
poured on the heat to swamp the
luckless Colemanites with a final
score of 101 to 31. A Gover's team
from Mt. Pleasant was scalped almost
as badly when they fell victims to the
Rockets, 91 to 68. The Rockets winning score over Evart was 59 to 37.
Monday evening, March 3rd, the
Rockets will mix it up with another
Mt. Pleasant team on the local floor
