Sox within one win of an assured top
place in the Central Michigan Baseball League. -,, "|
Manager Howard Pohl's outfit
slugged in all its runs in the sixth and
eighth frames. Starting Leaton Pitcher
John Keehbauch allowed but one infield hit to Louis Kennedy until the
sixth, when the effects of working ex-'
tremely fast caught up with him.
Leaton took the lead in the first inning when Bob Welsh, who hit three
out of five, knocked in Jones with his
first hit, a long triple to center. They
made their only other run in the third.
Welsh, with the triple and two singles, and Servess With two singles in
three times at the plate, led in the

John Hall, and their daughter, Lillian

field near their house Thursday mor_v-
ing.
An air plane piloted by Robert G.
Cale, of Colusa, California, with Glenn
Davey, 19, of Weidman, as a passenger, flew low over the Hall property
and cut an electric high tension wire
Which struck one of the women, -wiio
fell against the other, and both, vere
electrocuted.    ,
The remains of the victims of the
tradgedy were brought to the Thurston Funeral home here to await arrangements, which were not complete Thursday afternoon.
Cale and Davey were brought U
the Clare Hospital, where examlna
tion revealed that Davey had escapee
with only a lacerated forehead anc
upper lip, and Cale a bruised forehead, the injuries apparently of a
minor nature.
It was learned from the Vestaburg
office of the Tri-County Electric Co-op
who operate the line, that the wire cut
was a branch of the company's big"-'
voltage line running through the area,
but the exact voltage could not be
verified. However, it was reported

Unemployment Ag'cy
Rotary Club Topic
A question and answer session on
the subject of \he Michigan State
Unemployment Cojnpensation Commission and its functions, was the program feature at the Wednesday noon
meeting of the Rotary club this week.
The speaker and target for" business
men's questions was Ben Buchkow-
Ski, manager of the Alma Michigan
branch of the MUCC office.
In his talk, Buchkowski outlined
some of the interesting details of the
work of his office, and of the collecting of funds and distributing of unemployment checks in the Clare,
Alma, Mt. Pleasant area. In view of
the general conditions of unemployment throughout the country, it was
interesting to compare the percentage of increase in his locality. Registration of unemployed persons in the
Alma office 'is up 150% over last
year, Buchkowski declared despite
the fact that one hundred and fifty
war veterans discharged prior to
1947 are no longer listed as eligible to
draw benefits. Total jobless number
450 in round numbers.
Vice President Earl Ruby presided
at the meeting in the absence of
Stuart Bicknell, and reported three
perfect attendance meetings since the
start of the attendance contest August 3. Next week's program will include motion pictures, arranged for
by Court Bauer.
E. L. Bates, of Grand Rapids, Western Michigan representative of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, said today that despite the
tremendous challenge of widespread
polio epidemics this summer the National Foundation "would see to it that
no victim of the disease goes without
"In view of the staggering outlays
proper medical care for lack of funds."
for polio treatmen both this summer
and last," he said, "I think it is advisable to reassure the public that the
National Foundation and its Chapters
Will take whatever steps may be required to provide care for all those,
who need it.
Mr. Bates, noting that the polio incidence rate this year was running far
ahead of yast year's near-record total
of 27,895 cases, said that never, before
in history had the nation experienced
two such epidemic years in succession.
"Last year," he said, "National
Headquarters of the Foundation sent
$7,000,000 to Chapters whose treasuries had been drained to provide medical care for patients. Already this
year almost $4,000,000 has been dispatched to critical areas, and the end
Seems far from sight.
"I want to make it perfectly clear,
however, that despite this financial
crisis, the National Foundation has no
intention of defaulting its obligation
to underwrite medical care for those
who need financial assistance and to
carry on its extensive research and
professional training programs."
"With a heavy carry-over load from I
1948," he said,  "it seems inevitable j
that our costs will be much higher
this year. And we must not forget that'
research cannot be neglected, if polio
is ever to be erased as a menace to
our Children.' j
"I cite these circumstances only because the situation is a grave one, but
at the same time I wish to reiterate
the pledge of the National Foundation
—that no sufferer from infantile paralysis will go without the best available'
medical care for lack of funds, regardless of age, race* creed or color."        |
Mrs. John V. Wicklund, Jr., who
successfully conducted the March of
