Chippewas on' Cheyboygan's field.      i
*v      ' •

as far as goals were concerned. Neither team made large.gains and there
was a fairly even exchange of the
ball with Clare doing little passing.
During the second quarter Beck
scored the first TD, Brinkerhoff
kicked off to Cheyboygan, bu| *.they
were not able to advance with the
ball and Clare recovered. On the 42
yard line Coveart on a "reverse play
made a beautiful run to score the
second TD and brought the score at
the half' to  14-0,
After the half Clare grew confident
and scored two touchdowns in the third
and fourth quarters. In the third
Beck plunged over the Clare line for
his second goal and upped the score,
20-0. Early in the * fourth Pulcifer,
after a 36 yard run, made the fourth
TD, leaving the final score at 26-0.
Early in the fourth the reserves took
over the game and also made a good
showing, A fifth TD was almost
scored during the last few seconds of
the game.
Clare gained 285 yards during the
game despite the penalties amounting
to 70 yards. The Pioneer's backfield

per try, while Covart averaged 11.4
and Pulcifer 11.1.

difficulty might have arisen- because
of ice in the carburetor.

feet a heater could be turned on, in
plenty of time to de-ice the carburetor.
The skid marks in Thayer's field,
measured 270 feet, according to Tugya, He said the pilot must" have had;

pilot the craft back to Flint, although
he has approximately 100 hours flying
time.. After replacing the broken propeller, Tugya flew the plane to Clare.

Rotarians listened to first hand impressions of human existance under
the Communist rule in Czechoslovakia
at their Wednesday lunch meeting at
Barnes Cafe. Relating travel experiences, was Hazel, Littlefield Smith,
who returned recently from abroad.
Misery and hardship is the lot of the
once-free Czechs, the speaker said.
All of her personal observations in
the three-weeks visit confirmed the
opinion that no chance for freedom
or change in the situation is possible under the present regime.
The Rotary Club's attendance continued .into the fifth week-of perfect
attendance with both sides clinging
to their tied position. Losers in this
contest are to cook and serve a chicken   dinner   for   the  victorius   team.

UNITED HEALTH,
WELFARE DRIVE
TO OPEN OCT. 17
Earl H. Morgan Chosen County!
Campaign Chairman At
Organization Meet
That the 1950 United Health and
Welfare Fund drive will commence
here October 17 and continue through
November 7, was announced following a meeting held in the Hotel Doherty last week. Dr. G. C. Born was selected to succeed Atty. Harold B.
Hughes as a member of the Board of
Directors of the Clare County committee.
At the same meeting, Earl H. Morgan, of the Clare Manufacturing Company, was named county campaign
chairman. .
E. A. "Bud" Anderson, of Anderson's Drug Store, has been named by
Mr. Morgan to spearhead the drive in
the city 'ot Clare. Community chairmen are heing contacted throughout
Clare county and will be announced
in The Sentinel before the drive
opens.
The county quota for 1950 is $4,0*00
or approximately .068 per cent of the
State goal.      ,. ■   v ~ *
Several agencies that have joined
UH&WF in its drive this year are
the Michigan Heart Disease Association, U. S. O., Sister Kenny Foundation,' and Jackson Memorial Laboratory for Cancer Research. These
agencies joined along with "UH&WF
in combining their campaigns; consequently doing away with the inefficiency of each one holding its own,
as has been the practice in the past.
Aside from these agencies, there
are the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and
Salvation Army of Clare county that
have joined UH&WF. The Boy Scouts
of the county will receive from 35 to
40 per cent of the proceeds of the
drive in the county and will cooperate
in raising the quota.
The Red Cross, Cancer Society, Infantile Paralysis, and Crippled Children's drives will be held next spring.
Contrary to some thinking, these agencies have not yet joined the United
Health and-Welfare Fund in making
this campaign the only* one of the
ydar. However, it is hoped that by
next year they will have seen fit to
unite their efforts in a single drive.
