To   Be  Closed fin  Sixty Days
Because 0| Condition
Of Old Wilding .
The following letter or interest to
citizens of Isabella county was received recently "by the Isabella County
Board of Supervisors:
■ January 6, 1949
Honorable Chairman
Board of Supervisors
Isabella County
Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. «     ■
Dear   Sir,
I inspected your* County Jail under
date of January 5, 1949, and after going over th|s jail carefully with your
Building Committee and giving the
same due consideration, we find it
necessary to close- this jail sixty (60)
days on and after this date, for the
following reasons.'
1. The west wall shows signs of
being sprung away from the ceiling
of the- first floor.
2. There is also a serious fire
hazard existing, due, to the factj that
the framework Of this bnildjing is
constructed «o£ «TSjhite pine *with -. -a
brick veneers' The ceiling and parts
of the floor/are of wood. The stairway leading to the second, ffoor is also of w.ood. A fire (Starting in the
basement of this jail would make it
Impossible to get anyone out of this
jail from the second floor, if they
were interned .under lock and  key.
3. The wiring of this jail is in
very poor condition, and we found
that it was necessary to use 30 amp.
fuses to carry the load on these lines,
when there should not be anything
larger than a 15 amp.
4. The steel floor in the main cell
block is corroded and eaten through
along the edges where it contacts the
bottom part of the jail bars.
5. The window casings are in very
poor condition.
6*. The walls on all sides in the upstairs part are loosening and drawing
away from the partitions.
7. You do not have adequate win-
do^v space.
8? There is no proper segregation
of prisoners. ' ..
9. There is no safety provision in
the handling of visitors.
We found this jail clean and in
good order and well supervised. However, it is almost a physical impossibility to keep a building of this type
clean and sanitary, and I want to say
that Sheriff Joe Rawson is due for a
lot of credit in being able to maintain
this institution in the manner that he
does.
This letter is also in confirmation
of my visit before the entire Board
of Supervisors assembled at the Court
House in Mt. Pleasant, Isabella County, under date of January 5, 1949.
Very truly yours,
DIv. of Prisons and industries,

The great importance of a successful 1949 March of Dimes campaign
was stressed today by Clare County
campaign chairman, Mrs. John V,
Wicklund, Jr., who pointed out that
epidemics during 1948 had made serious inroads on the funds of local
chapters as Well as On the emergency
fund of national headquarters, .
"We all know that infantile paralysis is one ot the most expensive diseases to fight both in its acute stage
and in after-care," Mrs. Wicklund
declared. "Last year, chapter chairmen in 403 counties in 42 states
learned this the hard way. Their own
funds were exhausted and their appeals to national headquarters drained the' emergency' fund completely.
We must"«gjtjf.e-rrand gjlje cheerfully—
during the i^t^^axQit of Dimes campaign to fortify aur .own funds 'against
possible epidemics here during the
polio season next summer and to
build up the national emergency fund.
The 1948 infantile paralysis epidenu
io': marks., th'ey £ix£h. ;£ons,ecutiye year
of, unusually high incidence,4>T"fne
disease in the United States* As ot
the .first week of September, with
12,669 cases reported, the toll had
already well exceeded the normal
average for <any entire year's period.
Only five times in the history of ;the
disease in this country has the total
number of cases gone above this figure for any one year.
To safeguard our -community and
the nation against the ravages of in-,
fantile paralysis, Mrs. Wicklund
strongly urges all to contribute at
least 50 per cent more during the
1949 March of Dimes campaign, January 14-31. .
Although reports of contributions
are not yet available, the campaign is
being capably carried on under the
direction of the following community
chairmen:   ,       '
Clare—Chas. Hawley.
Harrison—Mrs. Myrtle Coil.
Farwell—Mrs.   George   Sage.
Temple—Chas.  Ashcraft
Lake George^—Mrs. Lula Seats.
Lake Station-—Mrs. Anna Wells.
A featuro of the campaign in Clare
will be the President's Birthday Ball
in the Wedgewood Room at Hotel
Doherty Saturday- evening, January
29, with dancing to the music of Don
Bryant's Orchestra commencing at
8:30 o'clock. The public of Clare and
surrounding communities is invited
to- attend- the ball—for "While -You
Are Dancing You May Help- Some
Child to Walk."
Half of the proceeds of the March
of Dimes campaign will be kept in.
Clare county for the treatment of
local cases and half will be sent to
the National Foundation for research,
and to replenish national emergency
funds that are available to communities where local funds ara not-Suffi*
cient because of epidemics of the
dread disease. j*
All can help by dropping coins in
the coin boxes placed in public places
mailing or taking contributions to
your community chairman, and attending the President's Birthday Ball
and other functions that may take
place in your communities. All
should help because infantile paralysis is no respector of race or creed
and may strike in any community, regardless of geographic location or
climate. ■ • .

The prevailing shortage of mediuai-

declared to be a major problem foe-

ed the housing problem for the stutfjr

On the not-so-bright side of the picture, Rotarians were told  the provability of a fourth round demand. Ioec
a wage hike in 1949.   This new mere *
could be a headache, for the. entire-
carburetor   industry,   Mr,   Miles  oJtt* <-
