Forty-ffere© Teams Compete In
Horse-Pulling Contests
A* Tourist Park
To quote our Mend Jerry Sullivan,
of the Saginaw Dally News staff,
"Clare is one city that sponsors horse-
pulling contests simply for tlie sake
of tbe sport. No county fair attached-
no distractions of any kind. Just
horse-pulling".
Spectators here Saturday witnessed a near world record when 43
teams from all over Michigan turned
out -for the annual contest in the Clare
Tourist Park.
Clare's horse-pulling enthusiasm
had its origin in the late John W. Dunlop, who organized the first contests
four years ago, and since hia death
last year the event has been managed
by Earl Hafer, of Rosebush, who has
been active in management since the
beginning.
A team owned by Ross Renner, of
' Farwell, came within ten feet of the
world championship when it lifted a
weight of 3,576 pounds and pulled it
17 feet and 10 inches. Had they pulled
the weight 27 feet and six inches,
they would have equalled the world
record held by a team owned by Charles Roehl & Sons, of Smiths Creek,
Michigan.
Three other teams in the lightweight contests aualiried for a try at
the world record, two of them stable-
mates of the world championship
team. One of Roehi's teams pulled
the championship weigbt 15 feet, one
inch, and the other 14 feet, two inches, for second and third place in tbe
lightweight division, and fourth was
taken by a team driven by Harry
Scott, of Lake, which pulled the
championship, weight six feet.
Heavyweight contests
Heavyweight honors of the day
went to a veteran team of gray perch-
erons owned and driven by Duane
Clark, of Oxford. The chunky team,
fat at -,lfff> pounds, lifted a weight
of 3,800 pounds and pulled it 16 feet
and six inches* on the first try. Clark
did not drive his team again, since the
only other team gtitlyur the ranninff
that of Earl Hafer, o£ Stbs|5ush, pulled
the weight only 10 fee..
The world record Jn the heavyweight division is now held by teams
owned by Clyde Montgomery, of Vin-
cennes, Ind., and Fowler Bros., of
Reading, Michigan.
The weight pulled by these heavyweight teams is eguivalent to pulling
nine and a half 14-inch plows six
inches deep in a field covered with
stubble, according to Al VanderLaan,
president of the Micnig-fn Dynamometer Association.
Other money winners in the lightweight" class included Ross Renner,
of Farwell, who placed two teams;
Earl Hafer & Sons, of Rosebush,
two teams; Ward O'Boyle, of Shepherd; Clarence Lennon, of Gladwin;
and Leonard- McHaff ee, of Round City.
Runners up in the heavyweight division were teams owned by Ray Matthews, of -Crosswell; Frank Grant, of
Clare; Frank Nichols, of Fillion; Cecil
Darnell, of Barryton; Nyle Mitchell,
of Sault Ste. Marie; Moyd Black, of
Charlevoix; and Earl Grace, of Rosebush.

Attention Please!
The faster you drive, the longer it
takes—to stop, that is!
Good drivers know that the higher
the speed the more distance required
to stop, according to Chief of Police
Warren Decker-
Tbe question is: Do you know how
much distance is required to recognize
the need to stop, apply the brakes,
and come to a full stop at any given
speed? And, more important, do you
always drive with the full realization
that you must be able to stop in an
emergency?  *
"We'd all be safer drivers," Chief
Decker said, "if we'd remember three
things: the driver has to see and recognize the need to stop before he can
start stopping. After he does, that
there's a half second or more interval
called 'reaction time' before he is
'actually doing* the third thing, putting
on the brakes. All this time-^ttntil
the brakes finally stop the car—the
car" is -moving toward that thing the
driver doesn't want to hit!"
Here are the figures from the National Safety Council on how long it
takes an average driver to see an
emergency, react, and stop an average
car;
At 20 miles an hour—43 feet  (including 22 feet of reaction time).
" At 30 miles an hour—80 feet
feet of reaction time).
At 40 miles an hour—128 feet
feet of reaction time).
At 50^ miles an hour—186 feet
feet of reaction time).
"You see," said. Chief Decker, "the
faster you go the longer It takes! And
that's simply because tbe Car is moving faster while you are seeing and
reacting to the need to stop, and the
greater the speed the longer it takes
for the brakes to counteract the energy of that speed. Safe, experienced
drivers know that. All drivers should
remember it,"
Safer speeds are the goal o? the
Michigan State Safety Commission's
program this month, a part of Clare's
continuing traffic safety program, „
