Damage Severe To
Facilities   Of   Bell
Telephone Company
Although winter weather in Michigan this season generally was mild,
damage to facilities of the Michigan
Bell Telephone Company as a result of
that weather was not.
Approximately §750,000! worth of replacements and repairs Were made during the past few months for lines, cables/ and poles damaged by winter
storms,  -j    .
In most cases, telephone lines were
back in working order within a few
hours. Permanent repairs, however,
sometimes required da/s of intensive
effort under adverse conditions.
Scores of communities were isolated
when long-distance lines buckled under the weight of ice or wind-blown
objects. Local service was disrupted
in many instances when "drop" wires
leading from poles to homes similarly
snapped.
Although' winter damage this season was heavier than usual in Michigan, it compares with §10,000,000
worth of damage to facilities of Western Bell System companies in the
month of January alone.
Return of Game
Kill Cards Required
OFHiinters By Law
At least 5.00,734 small game hunters
and 286,051 deer hunters, all Michigan residents, technically committed
a misdemeanor when they failed to
file game kill report cards by the
February 15 deadline, the conservation department reports. The card
return is required by law.    ,
Fourteen thousand fewer deer hunters', cards were returned than a year
ago, although deer license sales, as of
February 1? wei;e higher than before.
There were 8}4l0" fewer small game
kill reports, while small game license
sales are up six * per cent.
Game * kill reports received in the
next few weeks will be added to those
received    before   the    deadline,   for \
limited use as an index to game abun-
dance in the different counties.

Remove  Fish Shanties
Persistence of weak ice, especially
on southern, Michigan lakes, serves as
a warning for fishermen to remove
their shanties earlier, this year.
More rigid enforcement of the law

by conservation officers.
Owners are responsible for moving
the fishing shanties before the ice
becomes unsafe. Fines may be assessed for the violation of this conservation law.

born ih Saginaw, Michigan, October
27, 1867, and departed this life at her
home at Clare, Michigan, on March
6, 1949, at the age of eighty-one years,
four months and ten days.
She came with her parents to Sheridan township, Clare county when hut

the only iiving relative on her side? of
the family.
After her marriage she and her
husband ^settled on a farm near Colonville, apd cleared a small spot and
built a log cabin, where they took up
housekeeping with only a trail leading
to the main road and their only means
of transportation was with an ox team
and small sled. They toiled together
for many years, determined to make
this one of the average homes in
Sheridan township, while raising their
family, all of whom were born on this
farm.
In 1913 they* moved* to Clate and
took up the Ford agency. Since moving to Clare, Nellie, as she -was commonly known by both young and old,
has witnessed the death of her father, mother, husband, only brother,
three sons and one daughter. While
these were most trying experiences
for any human being, she always
looked forward to the future of those
remaining; always joking and giving**!
|,a cheerful word to her many friends
until stricken by a stroke on "February 25, 1949r
She was a member of Zenobia Chapter- No. 129, Order of the Eastern
Star, and a life member of the Clare
Country Club, where she spent a great
deal of her time during the summer
months. She was advised many
times by her doctors to give .< up
playing golf due to .her health and
would always answer them by saying
when her time came to die she knew
of no place she would rather be than
on the Twin Elms Golf Course.
The funeral services were held
from her home Tuesday, March 8, con
ducted by Reverend Harold Watson,
of Grand Ledge, with interment in the
family lot in Cherry Orove cemetery.
