Greyhound Lines To
Send Clare County
Maps To Five States
Twelve officers and directors of the
Clare Chamber of Commerce had
lunch at Barnefc Cafe Tuesday noon,
followed by a Boated meeting.
Ed. Johnston, of the Four County
Dairy Day finance committee, addressed the group and they responded
with a $200 -contribution to help defray
Dairy Day expenses.
A letter "Was read, from the Travel
Bureau of Greyhound Bus Lines, requesting 400 maps and 400 folders to
be distributed in five states in response to requests for information
about vacationing in Clare county.
The map folders will be sent to Greyhound for this purpose, as a part of
the Chamber of Commerce spring
tourist publicity program.
It was reported that Chamber of
Commerce, membership dues for 1950
were 50% paid. There will be a Board
meeting, June 2, to hear requests for
adjustment of dues.
The annual operetta .presented by
the music department of Clare High
School was a success. This year it
was1 a musical comedy concerning the
wild and wooly west entitled "Meet
Arizona." Something new was added
In the wa,y of accompaniment. Harold
Collins obtained a Hammond organ
from Grinnell Brothers in Bay City
for" the occasion. The organ, which
was played by Mr. Collins, and the
piano, played- by Mrs A. J. Doherty,
blended very well together.
There were many humorous incidents * in the operetta which made
you forget exactly what the plot was.
Bertie, a cowboy, played by Bob Setter, mixed a little satirical comedy
along with the exaggerated tales of
Arizona Tom portrayed by Lee Sowle.
Aunt Lavinia, played Dy Esther Nevins, certainly kept the west wild and
wooly. Gene Verrette was the villain
of the plot.
Naturally, there was a little romance, which Capp;«, a sentimental
old cowboy, kept moving. It was he
who brought Lettie and Larry, portrayed by Martha McKinnon and Don
Wallace, together i„ the end. Others
with romantic inclinations were Alma
Lee Seiter as Emily and Irvin Ruby
as Ronnie.
Janie Bicknell and Gerr*-? Eroh
played the part of two fiery Mexicans
Carlotta and Antonio. Carlotta was
one of those domineering: women but
Antonio finally lassoed her.
Miss Strong and the cast publicly
thanked Mrs. Doherty, John P. Goggin, Mr. Collins, William Harper, the
art class and the many others who
helped make the operetta a success.

HIGHWAY DEATH
RATE LOWEST ON
RECORD IN 1949
Motor     Vehi.de     Registrations
And Travel At  All-Time
High In Michigan
With both motor vehicle registrations and travel reaching an all-time
high in Michigan during 1*349, the traffic accident rate per 100 million miles
of travel was the lowest on record.
This information is contained in the
State Police annual traffic accident
experience report released by Commissioner Donald S. Leonard.
The death rate per 100 million miles
ot travel was 7.14, ten per cent below
the previous all-time low Of 7.91 in
1948 and 57 per cent below the all-time
high of 16.52 in 1937.
Most of the 1949 fatality reduction
was due to decrease^ in pedestrian
deaths and deaths resulting from collisions between two|orythore motor
vehicles. ■'-' '''-"     %':0^';: *
There was a dally aver&ge of 392
accidents, four persons killed „and^L14
Injured. Totals for the year Were as
follows i 1,436 deaths as compared with
1,512 in 1948, a decrease of 76 or five
per cent; 41,647 injured as compared
with 40,892 in 1948, an increase of 755
or two per cent, and 143,197 accidents
as compared with 140,172 in 1948, an
increase of 3,025 or two per cent.
Although both injuries and accidents were up, they did not increase
in proportion with the large gains in
motor vehicle registrations and travel.
Motor Vehicle registrations increased
nine per cent to reach an all-time high
of 2,184,003 and travel exceeded an
estimated 20,1 billion miles, an average of about 9,200 miles per registered
vehicle.
Incorporated communities accounted
for 83 per cent of all accidents, 62 per
cent of the injuries and 32 per cent of
the deaths. Rural areas accounted for
17 per cent of all accidents, 38 per
cent of the injuries and 68 per cent of
"the deaths.
Only five counties,* representing five
per cent of all registered vehicles, reported no fatal accidents. They were
Keweenaw*^ Luce, Missaukee, Ontonagon and Oscoda. Ten counties, representing 63 per cent of all registered
vehicles, reported 786, or 55 per cent,
of all traffic fatalities.
Nearly six out of' ten fatal traffic
accidents occurred during the Tiours of
darkness and two omt of five on Saturdays and Sundays. Weather was reported as cloudy, 6now*y, rainy or foggy in one-third of the traffic fatalities
and in one-fourth of these accidents
the driver's vision was obscured.
Motor vehicle defects were reported
in ten per cent of the fatal accidents.
in| seven out of* ten fatal' accidents
one or more-drivers were reported as
violating traffic laws. Driving too fast
for conditions was the most frequent
violation.
In addition, seven out of ten pedestrians killed were violating the law Or
acting unsafely at the time. There
were 419 pedestrians killed, a decrease
of 92, or 18 per cent, under 1948,
Crossing streets between intersections
waa the major cause of fatalities,
was the major cause of the fatalities.
During the past ten years, 1940 to
1950, Michigan's traffic accident toll
shows.14,229 persons killed, 322,279 injured and 1,107,657 reported accidents.
The low death rate for 1949 is attributed largely to combined efforts on
the part of all law enforcement agencies, safety organizations and individual drivers and pedestrians, and generous support of the continuing safety
program by jsres. and radio.
