dinner in Clare on February 1st,
BCarolyn Carter, 12 year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Carter of the
Cornwell Ranch, fitted and exhibited
a Hereford steer to win reserve Championship honors in the state 4-H beef
show. Carolyn was awarded a gold
medal by Thomas E. Wilson, of the
Wilson Packing Company, Chicago, in
addition to a nice <:heck fj-pm; Carls
Chop House in Detroit who bought
the steer at 41c per pound.
In other exhibits at the state ahovn
several Clare county 4-H'ers won high
ratings. Don Crawford, ot East Grant,
won an A award with his potato exhibit and Shirley Armentrout, of -the
Brown Corners Club, won A with her
dress which she made. Shirley also
won a B award with her cake in tho
food preparation competition. Lucille
Becker, of East Grant, won a B award
with her food preparation exhibit also.
In consideration of the fact that
this was the first year- that more than
one or two from the county had participated in the 4-H state show, the
contestants made a very good record.
At present there are many 4-H members busy on 1950 projects with the
4-H motto in mind, "Make the beat
better." .Carolyn Carter and Brother

Foils Burglary At
Detroit Mon. Night
Miss Sally McMaster, of Detroit, a
sister of Mrs. Laurence Jackson, Jr.,
of Clare, was quite a heroine in her
own right this week, when she prevented the burglary of a safe containing $18,000 in cash from the Secretary
of State's office at 11949 Grand River,
Detroit.
She was but mildly interested as
she watched three men removing the
safe from the brightly lighted offlce,
shortly before midnight, Monday, until
it dawned upon her that they were not
workmen, but burglars. „
She called the police and two of the
,men escaped by foot as the patrol car
approached the scene, leaving the
heavy safe on the sldewalkl One man
was held for investigation.
