Two More Victims
Two additional victims had been reported Wednesday, bringing the total
to seven.
Dr. Frank S. Leeder, Bureau of Disease Control director, was consulted
and said that the disease can be transmitted "by direct contact or through
the air," that the virus "never has
been isolated and identified," and that
"we would be wasting time making
tests of water, milk, and food supplies,
because we don't know what to look
for."
Ernest L. Bates, of Grand Rapids,
Western Michigan field man for the
National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, flew into Gratiot county Tuesday afternoon for a three hour visit

Harrison Building
With 771 meeting violent death in
the United States for an all time record and Michigan second only to Texas with forty-eight deaths over the
three day holiday week end, from 6:00
p. m. Friday to midnight Monday, motorists and those seeking relief from
the heat in lakes and rivers of this
vicinity fortunately escaped serious
injury.
Although Michigan topped the nation with twenty-six drownings, the
eight traffic fatalities reported were
considerably less than twenty to thirty
predicted. Four heat prostrations, two
airplane crash deaths and four from
other causes were recorded in the
state.
Car Wrecks Service Station
Four young men miraculously escaped serious injury when Arthur Robson, Jr., 22, of Saginaw, apparently
fell asleep and drove a 1949 Chevrolet
sedan belonging to his father into the
southwest corner of the new cement

Showers here Tuesday evening
broke a heat, wave that had kept local |
citizens sweltering in above ninety
degree temperatures for more than
eight days and extended over.a large
portion of the United States into Canada.
Temperatures in the mid eighties
had prevailed since June 18 and the
average temperature of the month of,
75.3 degrees was only 1.3 under, the
record set in 1933. From Wednesday
of last week through Monday^lfe temperature averaged 80.5 and Monday
was the hottest Fourth of July on record in the Detroit weather bureau. Recordings of temperatures taken in the
sun in Clare ran as high as 110
degrees.
Kenneth Schaeffer, the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Harold Schaeffer pf Clare,
was taken to the Clare Hospital when
he suffered heat exhaustion while
working at Schaeffer's Dairy Bar
Thursday afternoon of last week.
A train wreck at Springfield, Illinois, was attributed to the heat when
it was thought the high temperature,

Investigation in other area's showed
a definite connection to recent dental

The most recent case reported up
to Wednesday, far from the northwest Ithaca neighborhood where other
cases have been concentrated or connected, complicated theories that there
either is a source of neighborhood
contamination or a neighborhood carrier. . No polio cases have been reported in a wide central-Michigan area
around this village.
Flies are suspected of transmission
of most polio cases and Ithaca people
note that the disease jumped from a
rural area southwest of town, taking
one life, to residential northwest Ithaca where it took a second life.

•Coleman 'Protests
Coleman apparently had a strong
talking point as the second place Cen
tral Michigan League team protested
a 7-3 Mt, Pleasant 'Green Sox win Sunday. The Sox wer-e leading, 7-3, going
into the bottom half of the ninth with
Coleman batters ready to make one
last try, tout could put only eight men
on the field. Shortstop Bud Bissell was
waved to the showers in the top" of
the ninth when lie waxed a little too
vituperative in contesting a third
strike.
Coleman refused to bat in the bottom of the ninth, .stating that the game
was forfeit because the Sox could not
field a legal-sized team. Glenn Ranck
league president from Coleman, said
that the game, would not be decided
until a league meeting could be called
to interpret or modify the rules to fit
the case. TJxe game will not be carried
in the standings 'until a league decision is made, ilf the contest is decided
in Coleman's favor, it will be the first
black mark on the Sox's league record.
The biggest upset so far this season
in Central Michigan League play was
turned in by Farwell Sunday when the
host club spoiled what looked like a
sure Leaton win in ihe ninth inning
with five runs. The big five came
across on three hits and three costly
errors for a 9-8 win.
Rosebush held on to a second place
tie by stopping Harrison, 12-6, Sunday
and then posting a 9-2 non-league vte
tory over Coleman Monday.-
It was a'field day for Rosebush hitters all the way around as all batters
hit in both games for 30 safeties. In
the Harrison game, Buck Graham
counted a double as one of his three
hits and Paul McConnell, Jack Lynch,
Dan McConnell and Ken Cowden each
clouted doubles.
Morris Graham.JLynch and Cowden
each hit twice against Coleman while
other team members netted one each.

NEW PAVEMENT
ON US-27 OPENED
SATURDAY, JULY 2
Former Route East Of Houghton
And Higgins Lakes Now
Designated M-18
The entire new US-27 highway west
of Houghton and Higgins Lakes in
Roscommon and Crawford counties
was opened to traffic Saturday
morning, Highway Commissioner
Charles M. Ziegler announces. The
relocation of this highway has necessitated renumbering of highways in
that area with the designation US-27
no longer to be used on the trunklines
south and east of Houghton lake, the
Commissioner said. ^
The new highway was started July
31, 1946. It is 18.477 mileS long and
cost $1,515,640. Part of it has been in
use for local traffic while the last section was being built. It extends north
from M-55,
Motorists using the new pavement
are warned by Commissioner Ziegler
to drive carefully and avoid the shoulders on the northern six miles of this
section. These shoulders are still soft
and would be dangerous if a car
should run off the pavement while
traveling at a rapid rate of speed.
State Highway Department sign
crews have been at work for several
days installing new trunkline markers
and modern, extra large directional
signs to give motorists complete directions on routes and to make it easy
and convenient for them to follow the
trunkline highways they desire to use
in this area. Soft shoulder warning
signs also have been installed.
US-27, which previously has followed a route along the south ahd
east sides of Houghton lake and Higgins lake, now joins the old US-27
route north of Higgins lake and a few
miles south of Grayling. The new
-pavement shortens the middle-of-the-
state, through route to the strats
of Mackinac by 12.1 miles and at least
a half hour driving*, time, possibly as
much as an hour in heavy holiday traffic periods as through traffic now can
avoid congestion in the resort area
along the south and east sides of
Houghton lake.
The highway south of Houghton
lake, which formerly was designated
Both M-55 and US-27 is now M-55 only.
The former US-27, east of the two
lakeB between Prudenville and Roscommon, is now designated M-18;
which will extend from North Bradley
on -US-10 to Roscommon. * The old
section of US-27, between Roscommon
and the new US-27 south of Grayling,
has been renumbered M-76. This highway formerly ended at 'Roscommon.

bronze Western horses will be given
as first prizes in many of the other
events, plus the cash awards.
The Double ~D boys have been contesting at many rodeos the last couple
