FIRST FRATERNAL
"WABBIT" DINNER
A GREAT SUCCESS
John Goggin Challenges Those
Present To Protect Our
American Heritage
A.fine spirit of fellowship prevailed
when 180 Knights of Columbus, Masons and guests attended the flrst annual "wabbit" banquet of the fraternities in the social parlors of St. Cecilia's ChUrch here Tuesday evening,  .
Following invocation by the Rev.
Fr. Wolfe, pastor of Sacred Heart
Church at Gladwin, six sons of the
Knights and six members of the Clare
DeMolay chapter served a .bounteous
rabbit dinner prepared by ladies of
the V. F. W. Auxiliary. . i
William Hibbard, of Harrison, Harold Collins and Leo Brown played dinner music and accompanied group
singing led by Jack Hall,
Dominic McConnell welcomed Fr.
Wolfe, The Rev..L. J. Nevins, of the
Clare Methodist Church, Knights ot
Columbus, Masons and' guests; and
thanked Brownie and his band, the V.
F. W. Auxiliary, the boys who served,
the Clare High School for mimeo-
• graphing, Stephenson Funeral Home
for chairs, Corsaut's for the public address system, Rainbow Bread for the
buns, and Ed. Johnston for "the music
for tomorrow."
Nick presented John Goggin, his co-
chairman of entertainment, as the keynoter of the meeting.
Mr. Goggin addressed the group in
a convincing manner, stressed the
point that those present were "witnessing genuine Christian democratic
Americanism in its highest social expression. That when a man wears the
K of C insignia or the Masonic emblem, he publicly announces his belief
In the Fatherhood of God, tolerance
and love for his fellow men and love
of his native land."
He said. "The overall problem facing
our country, as well as the world, is
matrialistic militant Atheism, a de-
spiritualizing process which aims to
reduce men to the level of the beast—
with resultant misery, hatred, destruction and. wholesale murder. Yes, t
mean Communism as disseminated
Out df Moscow — and furthered by
©very possible means,- Until even now
they have taught millions over the
earth to have a false outlook on life
and to ignore their eternal destiny.
"We all know that the only way to
overcome bad ideas is to replace them
with' good ideas and. that a, nation,
however" vast, is merely a collection
of towns united for- security. No matter how small or insignificant Qur lb-
cai ' organisation ' may appear when
viewed from afar^we can establish a
precedent that in a very short period

George Hemstreet, of R-l, Clare,
narrowly escaped serious injury if not
death Thursday morning, when the
trailer hitch broke and cut loose his
trailer as it was struck by eastbound
Chesapeake & Ohio through freight
No. 52 at 10:40 o'clock at the McEwan
Street grade crossing.
The trailer was thrown approximately 25 feet against the Marsh Grain
Company office and demolished. A
hog in the trailer was so badly injured
that it was necessary to kill it.
The only damage to the car was^ a
broken bumper*1 and George escaped
with a hair-raising experience in bis
first tie with a freight train.
According to railroad employees,
the warning signals were operating at
the time, .but a section crew was at
work, on the highway and another car
ctosiitd the tracks safely ahead of
George, and he apparently did not notice the" blinkers or. warning bells.
