Namesake Towns Will Receive
Badges   Of   Ships   And
Achievement Records
Mayor Albert Haley has received the
following letter from the British Consulate General at Detroit, which will
be of great interest to the people of
Clare.
5th July, 1950.
Hon. Albert Haley*
Mayor,
Clare City, Michigan.
Dear Mr- Haley,
As British Consul-General in Detroit, I have been requested by our
Embassy in Washington, D. C. to ap
proach you, as Mayor of the City of
Clare, with a -proposition concerning
which your Cooperation and decision
is earnestly invited.
You "Will doubtless recollect that in
early days of World War 11, when the
German submarines were playing havoc with our shipping, the USA Government generously transferred in
1940 to Britain 50 American destroyers. The majority of these destroyers
were, upon transfer, renamed after
towns common to both the USA and
the UK, while six were given the
names of rivers flowing on the USA-
Canadian border. One of the destroyers was re-named CLARE and it is in
connection with a proposed ceremony
to be held shortly that I would like to
have your cooperation. The British
Admiralty have decided that each of
these namesake towns should be presented with the badge of the relevant
destroyer together with a book containing a record of the achievements
of all the 50 destroyers. The badge is,
I understand, about two feet square
and weight about 50 pounds.
Before any further steps are taken
with regard to the presentation ceremony, I shouid be grateful to you if
you would inform me -whether the
Civic authorities in your city would be
willing to accept these tokens of appreciation. As arrangements cannot
be proceeded with until all replies are
received, I would welcome your reply
at an early date.
"Yours sincerely,
W, N. Storey    ,
H.M< Consul General
Mayor Haley has sent a message to
the Consulate General, in behalf of the
city, expressing gratitude for the singular honor and acceptance.

Mrs. Arthur Thayer
Sees Flying Saucer
Thursday Morning
As reports come from various parts
of the country of persons seeing flying saucers, this vicinity has not been
neglected by the awe inspiring phenomenon.
Mrg. Arthur Thayer, who lives two
miles south of Clare, arose at 2:45
o'clock Thursday morning of last
week to care for her babx and as she
bent over the crib, saw an object flash
past the window.
The bright object was pt oblong
shape, and when asked if it Slight
have been a comet, she stated that it
did not move fast enough for a shooting star, as .the speed was approximately that of an airplane.
BEAL CITY AND

TWELVriNNINGS
Farwell      Defeats      Merchants
8-1    On   Local   Diamond
Sunday Afternoon
/
Walloping Coleman, 10-2, league-
leading Leaton picked up a half game
and extended its margin to a full game
in the Central Michigan Baseball
League as a result of Sunday action.
The second place clubs, Mt. Pleasant
and RosebuBh, were idle.
Farwell won an easy 8-1 victory
over Clare to remain on the heels of
the leaders in fourth place, while Beal
City squeezed past Harrison, 9-7, in
12 innings, first extra-inning game of
the league season.
Big John Keebaugh, who dropped a
two-hit heartbreaker two weeks ago
to Mt. Pleasant, came back Sunday to
scatter five Coleman hits and notch an
easy win for Leaton. Keebaugh helped
his own cause with two hits in four
trips While Bill Methner and Bruce
Hoyt also had two hits for the winners. Manager Doug Ranck had a
pair of hits for Coleman.

Dennis and Acker; Keebaugh/ and

Beal City and Harrison provided a
JhrilieK with Harrison -jumping jaway
to a '&2* lead after fhree innings only
to Jiav% Beal City keep pecking away
to 'finally knot the score at 7-7 in the
ninth. Singles by Junior Denslow ahd
Harold Schaefer and a fielder's choice
provided the equalizer in the ninth.
Harrison threatened to pull out the
win in regulation time by filling the
bases with one out in its half of the
ninth. -This brought on Denslow to
relieve Art Teixera who had worked
from the second inning. And' Denslow fanned the next two batters to
squelch the threat arid Harrison never
again threatened.
Jim Schneider, Harrison hurler, hit
Bob Beier and Jerry Yuncker to start
the twelfth and Bob Brown came-on
in reliet Beier and Yuncker promptly
worked' a. double steal and -Steve
Strauss singled to drive' both"-home
and win the game for-Beal-City'. ■ ■■«.■

Fred Beckman Speaks
At Rotary Meeting
Fred Beckma'n, Scouting leader in
Valley Trails Council, B-3.A., reported
Wednesday, to the Clare Rotary Club
on his experiences as a.scout leader
at the recent, natipnal fjjamhoree encampment at Valley Forge, He spoke
before the club at tne regular noon

Following a brief description of tho
huge camp's administrative operation,
Mr. Beckman filled the balance of his
speaking time with stories about the
boys themselves and their activities.
"Swapping" was one Planned device
to provide recreation fdr the Scouts,,
he said, With many ot, the campers
bringing "livestock", such as snakes,
baby 'gators, horned toads, mice and
other small animals from home to
trade to other boys, for their swapping
treasures.
Saginaw area Scouts gained a half
truckload of various assorted objects
in their swapping deals, Beckman
said, and also brought home memories
of a national janiboree which will
never be forgotten.
High spots ih the jamboree program
included a talk by President Truman,
an appearance by,Genial *"lke" Eisenhower number one hero of all.the
boys, and impressive massed religious
services.
Rotary members who like the out
of doors and camping life were interested in demonstrations' of campfire
cooking which Beckman told them
were Scout tested methods, learned
in camping sessions at;; Camp Rotary.

BARN ON WILD
FARM DESTROYED
BY FIRESATURDAY
Local Firemen Extinguish Fire
At Jankowsky Home With
Little Damage
Fire of undertermined origin destroyed the barn and granary on the
Harry Wild farm, three-guarters mile
south of Clare on US-27 about 5:'00
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The fire
was discovered by a passing motorist
and had gained such headway that it
was impossible to save the barn or
granary. About 250 bushels of wheat
were stored in the latter.
Calls were sent out for Clare and
Rosebush fire departments. The high
wind blowing from the south scattered
blazing embers as far north as the
William Wilson farm, some 20 rods
distant, setting fire to buildings there.
This blaze was promptly brought
under control by action of the Clare
department while the Rosebush squad
continued their efforts to check further spread of the fire at the Wild
farm.
The Wilds loss is estimated at about
$6000, only partially covered by insurance.
Jankowsky Home Again
A neighbor lady gummonded the
Clare Fire Department when she saw
smoke pouring from a basement window at the Alex Jankowsky residence,
at 613 Prairie Ave., about 4:00 O'clock
Tuesday afternoon. Upon investigation she found the family all away
from home, except Mr. Jankowsky,
who was sound asleep, and she
aroused him and informed him of the
fire,
Firemen extinguisned flames,
which had started fe a pile of rubbish
in the basement, with little damage to
the property. The local fire depar-
ment has extinguished fires in the Jankowsky home a time or two before.

mail and express service on the Ann
Arbor Railroad Thursday, this vicinity

Clare eighty years ago the coming
November 20th.
For the past several years the Ann
Arbor has operated two passenger
trains through the city, old No. 52
south in the morning and 51 north in
the afternpon, as compared to the one
time schedule of three trains each
way a day, including dining car and
chair car service.
Ann Arbor says, with at least some
grounds of merit, that its passenger
business has ■ gone the way of the
highways and airways. It will, however, continue freight service.

8:00 o'clock Monday evening, wher«
Mrs. Moyer informed the investigating officer thafc-Mrs. Alvin Dewey had
come to her home for protection from
her husband, whom she said had attempted to take her life. Mrs. Dewey's
left breast had been punctured with
an ice pick and she had a small cat
on her little finger. According to officers, Mrs. Dewey said her husband
came toward her with the ice pick in
his hand, saying, as he did so, "Are
you ready to die with me."
Mrs. Dewey struggled and got away
from her husband, after he is alleged'
to have stabbed her, and ran across
the street to the Moyer home, where
she instructed Mrs. Moyer to call the
police, and upon his arrival told the
officer that she believed her husban-l
was going to kin himself.
The officer went to the Dewey home
at 619 W. Fifth and found Dewey sitting on the steps of the porch on the
east side of the house, with botM
wrists slashed and a single edge
razor blade in his left hand.

condition, the officer placed him i*
the patrol car and rushed him to the
hospital, where he was given first
aid.
Mrs. Dewey was brought to the hospital;* and treated and discharged to
the home of relatives.
Dewey was very despondent and
stated that their living condition*
were not good enough for his wit*
and he wanted to take her and himself away from it all.

several years ago and apparently had
a relapse, Charges against him are
pending his recovery and mental examination.
Following  surgery to join several
tendons of the wrists and blood transfusion, his condition js reported as *
good at the hospital'.     *
