400,000 HUNTERS
SEEKING VENISON
IN NORTH WOODS
CLARE MOTHER
SUFFERS SERIOUS
GUNSHOT WOUND
Monday* Opening* Brings Many Farwell   Youth   Shot In Wrist
"Regulars" Into Woods And
Less Casualties
With an estimated. .'400,000 deer
hunters in the north woods, the Department of Conservation promise of
good buck hunting was- fulfilled with
a heavy kill on Monday, although less
deer were taken on Tuesday and
Wednsday. The opening of the season on Monday has brought more of
the* "regulars" into the woods during
the opening days of the season and
fewer personal casualties and dead
does lias been the result. With a
heavy influx of novices expected over
the coming week end, conservation
officers are "keeping their, fingers
crossed."
The Newman Nimrods
Mr, ,and Mrs. J. G. Newman announce that on the opening of the
deer season Monday morning they had
six sons and two daughters, two sons-
in-law, three duaghters-in-law and six
grandchildren in the woods hunting
deer.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Newman and
Mr. and Mrs, Glenn Poet crossed -he
Straits, and the rest of them are;
hunting in different parts in the
Lower 'Peninsula.
As J. .C. isn't out for hunting deer
this season, they think they are entitled to at least one good mess of
venison steak ffom this bunch of
hunters and no doubt when this article comes out in print. Mr. and Mrs.
Newman will be eating venison galore. \
Successful   Hunters
James Sutton shot an eight point,
170 pound buck at Vanderbilt at 3:00
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Roy Cimmerer shot a nice spike-
horn in the Houghton Lake Reserve
at T:30 o'clock Monday morning.
Mrs. Dale. White, who shot a buck
two t years ago, will soon be listed
with the veterans as she bagged another buck at ?:30 o'clock Monday
afternoon. Incidentally, her hunting
companion, japne other than Dale himself, shot his buck at 8:15 Monday
niorning.

Art Lower, in Section One, Hatton
township, shot a large timber wolf
Wednesday.
Earl Ruby shot a one and a half
point spikehorn with a three-quarters
inch antler spread Wednesday. The
little fellow weighed 85 pounds, which
will provide a lot of g6od eating after
all.
Bernard Schofield was one of the
first of the Farwell hunters to get his
buck, in fact was the first one in that
registered at Wally's buck contest.
Among the others getting theirs the
first day were Johnnie Colosky, Clifford Brasington, Duane Renner and
Vernie Hose.
"The heavy take on Monday and
mild weather which has" brought many
successful hunters home early, has
taxed the capacity and facilities of
fche Thayer Dairy Locker Plant the
fore part of the week.

V High winds that attained a velocity
of seventy miles per hour ' as they
swept central Michigan Tuesday
.night, sucked the water down the
Saginaw River until the water level
at Saginaw was lowered eight-feet,
closing their large malleable iron
foundry because sufficient water could
not be drawn into their two foot intake to cool moulds and wash sand.
Trees and utility lines were blown
down over a wide area and in Clare
awnings at the Clare Furniture Company and Jackson Meat Market were
torn into shreds, while other awnings,
