Disabled Veterans
Make Poppies For
Poppy Day May 27
Making.memorial poppies to be worn
in honor of the war dead on Poppy
Day, May 27, is providing employment
for thousands of disabled veterans in
hospitals throughout the country, according, to Mrs. Peter Creguer, Poppy
Chairman of the American Legion
Auxiliary. The work not only enables
the veterans to earn much-needed
money, but also is valuable as occupational therapy*.
Poppies which will be worn here are
being made by patients at the Veteran's hospital. They will be distributed
on the streets here on Poppy Day by
volunteer workers from the Auxiliary
and cooperating organizations. Contributions received for the little red
memorial flowers will go entirely into
the rehabilitation and child welfare
funds of the Legion and Auxiliary.
The flowers are made of crepe paper
with wire stems and are accurate replicas of the wild poppies of France
and Belgium, which grew in such profusion on the battlefields of both world
wars. This "Flanders Field" poppy
has been the memorial flower of all
English-speaking countries ever since
the first World War. Millions are
worn throughout the world each year
and, in addition to keeping bright the
memory of the war dead, they are an
important source of funds for the welfare of the disabled veterans and
needy children of veterans.
The veterans work on the flowers
in their hospital beds, wheel chairs, or
in the hospital hobby shops, in some
states .special workrooms are maintained by the Auxiliary where disabled
men outside the hospitals are employed. The veterans develop great
skill, and speed in shaping the flowers
and are able to earn substantial
amounts without overtaxing their
strength. "• For them the poppy fills
empty hours* with interesting, profitable employment. „; '
NOW IS TIME TO
START SUMMER
4-H PROJECTS
Help la Selecting Livestock
May Be Had From* Club;
Leaders, County Agt.
It is time to Btart summer 4-H projects, r 4-H members have had a little
"breathing spell" from the winter "activity and Achievement Day and are
ready to look over the summer pro
gram.
A boy. or girl taking a ewe and lamb
project should have their animals se
lected by now. These folks should
notify the County Agent's office that
they have sheep projects and want
record books.
The beef club folks under the guidance of Mr. Simmons have been holding meetings and feeding their animals
during the winter months. Carolyn
and Billy Carter are feeding some
steers for the State 4-H Show at East
Lansing the last week Of August. The
others, including some county fail?
scramble calves, are being fitted for
the Clare county fair and possibly
some will go on to the Junior Livestock Show at Detroit in November.
4-H Club members who wish to get
started with a beef breeding project
should select a heifer of the beef breed
he prefers a*ad ,g£3*_ keeping his record of feed and other costs. If help Is
needed to find.a good heifer the same
can be obtained, by contacting the
county agent, Earl Simmons or Robert
Carter at the Cornwell Ranch*
Now is the time for prospective
dairy club folks to start keeping records of the dairy project If you do
not have a heifer call on your club
leader or county agent to help you
find one.
In the dairy and beef breeding projects, the policy of the Leaders-Parents
Association and others sponsoring 4-H
work, is to provide the 4-H members
with a purebred animal if reasonably
possible. Financial help can be obtained for worthy members. If the
purebred is considered beyond the
means of the member a good grade
heifer is the next best. •
In acquiring a 4-H animal, the "buyer
should have a good understanding,
good type and conformation. AIbo he
should know sound values in cattle. A
bit of caution and sound advice here
may save headaches later.
Garden or crop club members should
be making preparations for planting
these crops. If you need inf6rmation
in regard to these contact the local
club leader. *Local leaders have the
project requirements and will order
the necessary literature from the county extension office.

Bravely living for the future;
Treasuring memories of the past
Of a boy so gay and happy.
Golden days, that could not last,
Tall he grew and brave and kindly-
Full of plans* for future work;
Then country called.
"I must go mother I my
duty would not shirk."
So the years pass by without him,
Lonely years since last we met;
And the old wortd hurries, hurries;
But the mothers won't forget,
And together we are banded
To help each other meet the day,
Country needs us, now as ever,
We must work and watch and pray.

Conservation Laws
Enforced Regarding
Game Protection
Friday, April 28, Loomis
sponsored hy the 4-H Club.
Rumors,to the effect that conservation laws are not being enforced—as
the result of the recent State Supreme
Court decision—are absolutely untrue,
states Durward Robson, conservation
department law enforcement chief.
Robson calls attention to the fact
that basic conservation laws still are
on the books. "Conservation officers
are authorized by law to enforce them
and that is just what they intend to
do." he asserts.
An officer has the authority to arrest
any conservation law violator when
the offense is committed in the presence of the Officer.
The Supreme Court denied officers
the right to inspect cars and equipment of hunters and fishermen without a warrant or permission. The
court also ruled that conservation officers are not peace officers, however
this does not in any way affect officers'
authority to" enforce the laws pertain*
irig to the protection of game and fish.
A bill has been Introduced in the
Senate, which if enacted, would give
conservation officers tho status Of

Ghcmrsnon Byers Reports Success Of Easter Seal Sale Although total- are not yet complete ahd contributions are still being received, Mrs. W. N. Byers wishes to say "Thank You" for your splendid support of the cause of Crippled Children in- their Easter Seal campaign. •Special thanks to the Clare Sentinel, the Clare County Cleaver, School Commissioner John F, Brown and the teachers of the county; the HaiTison, Farwell and Clare Study Clubs, and Others who were" responsible for the success of this campaign. So far the first grade of Farwell school has made the largest contribution. « Disabled Veterans Make Poppies For Poppy Day May 27 Making.memorial poppies to be worn in honor of the war dead on Poppy Day, May 27, is providing employment for thousands of disabled veterans in hospitals throughout the country, according, to Mrs. Peter Creguer, Poppy Chairman of the American Legion Auxiliary. The work not only enables the veterans to earn much-needed money, but also is valuable as occupational therapy*. Poppies which will be worn here are being made by patients at the Veteran's hospital. They will be distributed on the streets here on Poppy Day by volunteer workers from the Auxiliary and cooperating organizations. Contributions received for the little red memorial flowers will go entirely into the rehabilitation and child welfare funds of the Legion and Auxiliary. The flowers are made of crepe paper with wire stems and are accurate replicas of the wild poppies of France and Belgium, which grew in such profusion on the battlefields of both world wars. This "Flanders Field" poppy has been the memorial flower of all English-speaking countries ever since the first World War. Millions are worn throughout the world each year and, in addition to keeping bright the memory of the war dead, they are an important source of funds for the welfare of the disabled veterans and needy children of veterans. The veterans work on the flowers in their hospital beds, wheel chairs, or in the hospital hobby shops, in some states .special workrooms are maintained by the Auxiliary where disabled men outside the hospitals are employed. The veterans develop great skill, and speed in shaping the flowers and are able to earn substantial amounts without overtaxing their strength. "• For them the poppy fills empty hours* with interesting, profitable employment. „; ' NOW IS TIME TO START SUMMER 4-H PROJECTS Help la Selecting Livestock May Be Had From* Club; Leaders, County Agt. It is time to Btart summer 4-H projects, r 4-H members have had a little "breathing spell" from the winter "activity and Achievement Day and are ready to look over the summer pro gram. A boy. or girl taking a ewe and lamb project should have their animals se lected by now. These folks should notify the County Agent's office that they have sheep projects and want record books. The beef club folks under the guidance of Mr. Simmons have been holding meetings and feeding their animals during the winter months. Carolyn and Billy Carter are feeding some steers for the State 4-H Show at East Lansing the last week Of August. The others, including some county fail? scramble calves, are being fitted for the Clare county fair and possibly some will go on to the Junior Livestock Show at Detroit in November. 4-H Club members who wish to get started with a beef breeding project should select a heifer of the beef breed he prefers a*ad ,g£3*_ keeping his record of feed and other costs. If help Is needed to find.a good heifer the same can be obtained, by contacting the county agent, Earl Simmons or Robert Carter at the Cornwell Ranch* Now is the time for prospective dairy club folks to start keeping records of the dairy project If you do not have a heifer call on your club leader or county agent to help you find one. In the dairy and beef breeding projects, the policy of the Leaders-Parents Association and others sponsoring 4-H work, is to provide the 4-H members with a purebred animal if reasonably possible. Financial help can be obtained for worthy members. If the purebred is considered beyond the means of the member a good grade heifer is the next best. • In acquiring a 4-H animal, the "buyer should have a good understanding, good type and conformation. AIbo he should know sound values in cattle. A bit of caution and sound advice here may save headaches later. Garden or crop club members should be making preparations for planting these crops. If you need inf6rmation in regard to these contact the local club leader. *Local leaders have the project requirements and will order the necessary literature from the county extension office.

Rumors,to the effect that conservation laws are not being enforced—as the result of the recent State Supreme Court decision—are absolutely untrue, states Durward Robson, conservation department law enforcement chief. Robson calls attention to the fact that basic conservation laws still are on the books. "Conservation officers are authorized by law to enforce them and that is just what they intend to do." he asserts. An officer has the authority to arrest any conservation law violator when the offense is committed in the presence of the Officer. The Supreme Court denied officers the right to inspect cars and equipment of hunters and fishermen without a warrant or permission. The court also ruled that conservation officers are not peace officers, however this does not in any way affect officers' authority to" enforce the laws pertain* irig to the protection of game and fish. A bill has been Introduced in the Senate, which if enacted, would give conservation officers tho status Of OYER THIRTY MILLION WIGHT TAX RETURNED TO MICHIGAN COUNTIES To Be Used For Improvement Of County Roads And City Streets Tbe vouchers to return to the various counties, cities and incorporated villages of the state, for expenditure on local roads and streets the $30,910,- 257.14 collected in motor vehicle weight taxes (license fees) during the first quarter -of this year have beeh sent to the Auditor General's Department for payment by the State High* way Department, Highway Commis Bioner Charles Ziegler reported.
