FIFTY YEARS OF
SERVICE OBSERVED
BY WISEJHURCH
Presbyterians     Hold     Worship
Service In Township
«5 v    Fixty-six Years
The Wise Presbyterian Church
[ celebrated its fiftieth anniversary of
service in Isabella county, Sunday,
October 12th. The day's events were
planned around worship , services
with an interesting hour of reminiscing a feature of the afternoon program.
The Wise church was actually organized 56 years ago with the first
meetings held in the school building,
which structure still stands near the
present church. W. H. Hood, a Presbyterian Sunday School missionary
from Saginaw, organized the first
Sunday School to be held in the section, which at that time was settled
mostly by lumber camps.
Following the establishment of the
Sunday School, religious meetings
were conducted in an old log building, now fallen to i*uins. A "local
preacher" as they were called, meaning one who was not ordained, came
from Colemah to preach to tne little
congregation. " The first man to so
serve this church was named Hill
and his work was carried on under the
supervision of the Coleman Presbyterian  Church.
For short intermittent periods, ministers of the Rosebush Methodist
Church, Reverends Moyter and Whitney, conducted services in the Wise
church and later students from Alma
College conducted meetings there as
well as in the Rosebush church.
For a short time the Services were
dsiconfinued and in October, 1939,
the Rev. R. O. Thomson was engaged
as pastor of the Wise and Rosebush
charge and has continued in that capacity  for  more  than  fifteen  years.
Many memories of the past were
recalled at Sunday's celebration.
Norman Rockett recounted how his
mother had entered a contest and
won an organ for the church. The
instrument was. carted in over the
trails which then served as roads, un-
crated at.the Rockett home, and the
family gathered about to sing "God
Be With,You Till We Meet Again"
,with all the -fervor and enjoyment
which simple pleasures brought in
those days.
Next day the organ was taken by
stone boat across the fields to the
church, the wild animals with which
the woods then abounded, howling
their curiosity at the strange procession.
Mrs. Elizabeth Stiles, 87 years of
age, was the oldest former attendant
of the church present Sunday, and
was honored by a gift of beautiful
chrysanthemums, presented by the
church.
Albert Marshall, 93, who gave the
land from one* corner of his farm, on
which the church was built, still Uvea
nearby, but was prevented by illness
from being present for the celebration.
Mrs. Elsie Methner, who acted as
hostess for the occasion, presented
the church with a beautiful set of
choir chairs. The gift was made in
memory of her husband, Otto Methner.
The Rev. Charles Spencer, a former pastor, was one of those who
spoke during the afternoon program.
Special music was offered by Mrs.
Allen Weihl and by *he "Old Timers."
Mr. DeLeeuw led the congregation in
a song fest.
The pastor of the church, Rev.
Thomson, read a short history of the
church, which was followed by an
address by the Rev. George Dewitt,
of the Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian
Church.
During the Rally. Day Services in
the Jtnorning special music was provided by Jane Ann Gross and., by a
class of girls. ,
..3?&e-church1, for the great occasion,
-was 'tastefully decorated * throughout
A 6:30 dinner meeting was held at
Barnes Cafe Tuesday evening to organize Clare county as a separate
District in the Valley Trails Council,
Boy Scouts of America, previously
operating jointly with Isabella county. Scouters present for discussion
and action included Paul Gibson, of
Harrison, Harold Hughes, Don Holbrook, Mark Bicknell, Austin Bates,
John Rodabaugh, of Clare, Council
Executive Bill Morgan, of Saginaw,
and Assistant Council Executive Cliff
Klapp, of Mt. Pleasant,
The number of Scouting units and
Scouting activities in Clare county
have increased to the point that it
was felt the county was ready to
function as a separate district and the
time had come for definite and formal
action on the matter.
Following the presentation of facts
and discussion of plans, the following
officers were nominated and elected:
John Rodabaugh—District Chairman.
Mark   Bicknell—-Vice   Chairman.
Paul Gibson—Council Commissioner
and member of the Council Executive
Board.
The District Chairman is automatically a member of the Council Executive Board.
It was voted to name the- new
unit Clare County District. „
District Executive Cliff Klapp will
continue to serve Clare and Isabella
counties as separate districts.
District Chairman Rodabaugh appointed Harold Hughes finance chairman and future appointments will include, t advancement chairman; camping, • activities, health and safety
chairman; organization and extension
chairman; training chairman; and
publicity and public relations chairman.
Troops are now organized at Clare,
Harrison, Farwell, Temple and Lake
George, and there is a Cub Pac at
Clare. Expansion plans under consideration include Scout Troops in
rural areas and additional troops, Cub
Pacs and Senior Scouting groups in
the county.

Dies As Result Of
Accident
ICEM SLENTZ WAS
NOT "JAY WALKING"
WHEN HIT BY TRUCK
The Sentinel had no intentions of
insinuating in its article last week
that Icem Slentz was "Jay Walking"
when struck by an oil,truck south of
the city,     , .
Mr. 'Slentz "parked his car on the
east side of the pavement three ahd
a half miles north of Rosebush bn
US-27, .when he saw Some wood laying in the "highway, Went out onto the
pavement to pick up the loose pieces
of Wood,lest they cause an accident,
and while, doing' this he noticed the
truck approaching from the south.
He stepped over into the west lane
of traffic to let the truck pass,- but
the! truck driver apparently became
,c6nfus'edti crossed the center line* of
the pavement ahd struck Mr. Slentz.
The Clare High School football
team defeated Beaverton here Wednesday afternoon by the score of 20
to 6. The score was 13-0 in favor of
the Pioneers &'$ half time and the
opponents remained scoreless until
near the end of the game, when they
made their only touchdown after
Coach Richardson ,had sent in several substitutes to give them experience.
Tlje Beaverton team, hitherto undefeated this year, was the only team
that Clare did not defeat last year,
the game ending in a 6-6 tie.
The St.  Louis Game
Two fumbles which were recovered
by St. Louis and two long passes
that clicked were the breaks against
Clare that handed them their first
football defeat in two years at St.
Louis last Friday afternoon.
It was "evident that Clare had met
their match soon after the opening
kickoff. The St. Louis boys were
big and fast and were playing with a
determination that Clare couldn't
match. 'They blocked and tackled for
keeps and really showed a will to win.
St. Louis couldn't gain consistently
through Clare's line, neither could
Clare gain through the St, Louis defense. St. Louis could complete long
passes and Clare couldn't and that
decided the game.
Clare's backfield didn't seem to
have their usual drive and the line
wasn't able to open holes for them.
The only man to make much showing
against St, Louis in the running department was McNerney. Holbrook
could outkick the opposing punter by
an average of 36 yards- per kick to 23.
The story might have been different
if Clare had kicked more and then
waited for the breaks.  .
The game was scoreless until late
in the fourth quarter, when- one of
those long passes, of- the fifteen that
St. Louis tried, Was completed on
Clare's 22 yard line. Another one.
deep into the end-zone three plays
later was good for the only touchdown. .A place kick was wide on the
try for point. There was but five
minutes left to play and though Clare
wanted to even the score badly they
had two passes intercepted and St.
Louis kept control of the ball most
of that time. „
We can alibi for the boys to Say that
they were playing in a temperature
about thirty five degrees higher than
they are used to. Also being an afternoon game, our pass defense would
lose the ball in the sun. That is
surely what happened on the pass that
made the touchdown.
Now Casper, the wooden goat, is going to have a new home for a time,
but there Will be a determined rescue
squad after him when the Green and
White meet the Red and Black during
the basketball season.
