Major Activities In
This Vicinity    .
At an organisation meeting Monday
evening In the Kenneth Borror home
in preparation for the 1950 Ited Cross
Roll Call it was revealed that cash expenditures during 1949 by the Cla^e
County Chapter include $228.9$ for
general civilian relief, $53,14 for milk,
$07.21 for cash relief and $298.05 foi1
Home Service.
The Home Service department has
been very active in assisting members
of the armed forces from and to camps
in emergency, relief for veterans and
their dependants, medical aid, and
many other types of assistance Involving the expenditure of county chapter funds and many hours of time contributed by volunteer Workers.
Another Red Cross service successfully undertaken by the' coun£y chapter in recent years is the furnishing
of blood for emergency use. Plans are
now underway for a blood doning
clinic here.
A noteworthy activity in this'vicinity was the canteen set up by the Mt.
Pleasant Chapter during their recent
disastrous fire to serve coffee and
sandwiches to. firemen by workers in
two hour shifts from 7:00* a. m, until
6:30 p. m., when they were relieved
by the Junior Chamber of Commerce
of that city. Although it is hoped that
such service will not be required here,
the Clare County Chapter must be
prepared for all emergencies.
During the fund raising campaign
in March County Roll Call Chairman
Howard M, Everts will be assisted by
Clare County Chapter Chairman Rev.
Leslie J. Nevins, Treasurer Mrs. Murl
Houghton, Secretary Mrs. Kenneth

Traffic on th©-Ann Arhor Railroad
between Clare and Rosebush was tied
up all day Thursday when a north
bound freight train was wrecked two
and a half miles north of Rosebush at
3:00 a. m. -Although the cause of the
wreck was not definitely determined
at press time it is thought that a rail
may have broken in the sub-zero temperature of the morning as the train
was rounding a curyye. No one was
injured.
Twenty cars were wrecked, with
several rolling over a jten to fifteen
foot embankment-and telescoping in
the ditch, strewing wreckage along the
track that will require many hours to
remove.
An Ann ATbor steam Crane arrived
at the scene of the wreck from "Owosso, af S:00 o'clock Thursday morning,
