As stated in last week's Sentinel;
the proposal to prohibit the sale of'
beer and wine in Clare county be-j
tween the hours of 2:00 a. m. andi
12:00 midnight on Sunday,- was de-i
feated, despite the fact that the official canvass revealed an error in the
unofficial tabulation as printed in this

Harrison 99 affirmative and 43 negative votes were ca?t, rather- than

Charles E. Brake of Plymouth, president of the Michigan Education Association, has expressed his gratitude
to the people of Michigan for their
support "of the M.E.A, appeal for a
vote of No on amendment proposal
two, and of Yes on amendment proposal five.
"We are touched by the enthusiastic
response of the public to the needs
of the children of the state," said Mr.
Brake. "The wise judgment of the
people M in preventing repeal of the
sales tax diversion amendment and in
making it possible now to increase
millage by a majority vote rather than
the unAmerican two-thirds vote and
to bond for school construction for a
period of as long as twenty years will
be repaid.
"I am sure that every teacher, every
school administrator in the state will
return to his work in the cause of
education re-inspired and stimulated
anew by the conviction that the parents of Michigan school children are
with him in all his earnest endeavors.
I should like to express, again, my
warm thanks to the voters of the
state, and to assure them that, what
they have done means new enthusiasm for us all."
Mr. Brake besides being president
of the Michigan Education Association, is deputy superintendent of
Wayne County schools. ■
