"Bhe. Story oi. Easter, a musical pageant, _po*asored. Ijy the High. School
Hustlers Class, of the Clare *&-ethodist
Chu-rch, will, be presented, on. Palm
Sunday evening, April 2nd, at 8:00
P. M., in the church auditorium.
Members of the class will take part
in-the pageant and the choral.accompaniment supplemented by others in
the church and friends of the church.
Approximately seventy-five will be in
the pageant, fifty of whom will be in
the musical cast, while the balance
will take part in the drama. The music is under the direction of Harry
Dice, director "of the church choir.
"The Story of Easter" is an original
musical pageant, written in 1946 by
H. R, Evans, Director of the Presbyterian Choir at Bay City; and former
Director of Music at the Bay City Consistory. The drama includes our Lord's
activities during the Passion Week,
including the following scenes: The
Last Supper; The Garden of Gethsem-
ane; The Trial of Christ; The Cruci-
fij-lon and the Resurrection. Much of
the drama will be pantomime.
Judge Donald E. Holbrook, teacher
of the class, reports excellent cooperation from everyone taking part and
aiding in presenting this Easter pageant. Rehearsals are now under way
and the cast with those participating
will be announced in next week's Sentinel.
It is hoped that this presentation
will be an important part in the observance of the Easter season in this
community, and when it is completed
it is believed it will be the only one
of its kind, aver presented in this area,

With Glare county's emer;-' noy
blood bank depleted, it is urgent, that
as many as possible contribute **'ood
during free blood plasma clinics to be
held in the Harrison Congregational
Church Wednesday, April 5, and the
Clare city hall Thursday, April 6.
Clinics will be open from 1:00 to 3:00
p. m. aud 5:00 to 7:00 p. m. on these
days.
These clinics to supply blood plasma for Claro county "and establish a
bank from which plasma may be loaned to other communities in case of
urgent need, are conducted by the
Michigan Depament of Health with
the cooperation of the American Red
Crofcs.
The blood drawn here is taken in refrigerated containers to the Michigan
Department of Health Laboratories in
Lansing.
Here each bottle is tested to make
sure that it contains no germ of syphilis-, then it is put through a centrifuge
(it j_r,i?4i_c ,4H.e a f!X<<frm separator.
that turns 2,000 revolutions per minute) to separate the red blood cells
from the clear straw colored fluid—
bipod plasma. The red cells are resus-
ponded in a special solution for later
use in th© treatment of anemia. The
plasma i& mixed with other plasma
and irradiated with ultraviolet light
to. destroy any bacteria or virus present. Then it is either fractionated Im*.
mediately or prepared' for distribution
as liquid plasma.
The bibod you give here-comes back
here for local use In the form of blood
plasma or blood fractions. It will be
available when needed—perhaps for* a
friend, relative or "neighbor ... "or a
member of your own family.
for every pint of blood you ■ gl?e
here, this county gets back an equh-v
alent amount of plasma or fractions:
Thie is no profit seeking- matter. It
is a public health measure*—free plas-
ina and fractions to save lives.
A registration blank: for the convenience of donors will be found, on page
twelve of this week's Sentinel. It is
hoped that all who can will fill out
these banks and take or mail them to
their Red Cross Chapter in care ot
Mrs. Myrtle Coil at Harrison or Mrs.
Tim Frey, 307 W. Seventh St., Clare,
according to whieh clinic you wish
to attend.

and ,di_h*ie,? "meeting "at the Hotfel
Doherty.- Representatives from twelve

drive in April, ,
Presiding at the meeting was Mrs,
John Wieklund, Clare County Commander, who introduced the principal
speaker, -Allen G. Miller, State Campaign Chairman, from Grand.. Rapidsj
Michigan, The highlight of Mr. Millers
speech was his comparison of cancer
with the recent leopard escape in Oklahoma—both "Killers-at-large".
A round table discussion of successful campaign techniques, education'
and service projects was conducted by
Henry Blanchard, Public Relations
Counsel for the Michigan Division of
the American Cancer Society,
Animated films designed- for public
education programs were shown.
These films showed potential cancer
victims from all walks, of life and
stressed what tie volunteer workers
of each community can do to save the
lives of sixty thousand people by educating the public to recognize the
seven danger signs of cancer. Thousands of lives can be saved by early
detection and early treatment. Many
thousands more who are victims of
the fear of cancer can be relieved of
their mental stress through adequate
knowledge which the American Cancer
Society is striving to put within reach
of every citizen.
Remember—Cancel' is curable.

Crippled Children
Easter Seals Going
To Rural Teachers
M»s. W. N. Byers, Clare County
Chairman for the Easter Seal Sale,
reports splendid cooperation throughout the'eounty. The seals will go out
to rural school teachers this week ehd.
With the coming of Spring, what's
more heart breaking than a crippled
or handicapped child. He's "licked"
before he starts out in life In many
cases were it not for the help he receives through the Crippled Children's
Fund.
A little effort on your part may remove a heavy burden from some small'
shoulders. "Sure he wants tb run and
play." Your help may be your way of
saying "I'm thankful it's not my child".
