Stay Alive--Obey
Stop Signs August
Traffic Slogan
Chief Decker, of the Clare Police
Department, said today that "it is an
obvious fact that Stop Signs are
placed at intersections to keep motor
ists on one highway from running into
motorists on the other highway."
Every motorist understands this
simple truth, the Chief maintained,
but, unfortunately, many thousands
ignore it. This is proved, he said,
by records which show that many
thousands of accidents happened, because drivers did not come to a full
stop at stop sigffs and look to the
right and left before entering the intersection with caution, to cross or
turn.
"Almost stopping at a stop sign is
not enough. It develops a sloppy driving habit which sooner or later will
cause an accident. Some day that
car that isn't there will run into you
—because its driver expected you to
stop—as the law requires," the Chief
stated.
After coming to a full stop the safest way to enter a through highway-
is to wait for a gap in cross traffic
that is big enough so that you Can
cross the intersection without causing
any other driver to slow down, stop
or turn aside, the Chief advised.
The Clare Police Department is cooperating with the Michigan Ctate
Safety Commission and the Michigan
Highway Department in a program to
make our highways safer. This week's
slogan is "Stay Alive — Obey Stop
Signs."
State Highway Commissioner
Charles M. Ziegler has stated that
there Were over 31,500 trafllc deaths
in the "United States the past year,
nearly i,S00 of them in Michigan, and
reminded that "these casualties are
just as tragic as war fatalities but
many of them could have been prevented if all drivers had used good
sense and obeyed Step Signs on our
highways."
Mrs, A. E* Mulder
Painfully Burned
Saturday
Mrs. A. E. Mulder was very painfully burned while moving a pan of
flaming paraffin from the kitchen
range in her home'on West State St.
at 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning.

from another room and found the wax
burning, she first started to place it

danger to the window curtains over
the sink, carried it out the back door.
The door stuck'momentarily, retarding her progress in getting, the flaming wax out of the kitchen.
Dr. Mulder was' not «t home and
Mrs. Srecko Kajfez, who lives next
door, was first to hear Mrs. Mulder's
screams and ran to her assistance.

where it was found that she was suffering first degree burns on the face
and first and second degree burns on
the, right arm.
Although she suffered consi<!-.rably
from the burns and shock, sh. ■> l-

The Clare Rotary Club will sponsor
amateur boxing exhibitions under
lights at the Clare; Public »School athletic field during the fall season. Ten
three-round bouts are planned for
each show, to be conducted in the
style of Golden Gloves competition
under amateur rules.
Proceeds from the exhibitions will
be used to finance Boy Scout activities and for Rotavy's - numerous projects for underprivileged children.
Application has been made to the
State Boxing Commission for a license
and all members of the Rotary Club
will share the responsibility of the
success of the project.
Boxers will be brought from Bay
City and Saginaw for the opening
bouts and local amateurs will be developed to continue the exhibitions.
Since the project has been under
discussion it has been learned that
Clare is the home of former boxers
and enthusiasts who will form the
nucleus of the administration of the
project, and although proceeds will be
used for worthy causes, admission
prices will be fixed with the attrac
i tion of large attendance foremost in
mind. ,,,
Programs of this type, under strict
supervision, have proven to be a
source of clean sport, affording desirable recreation for our youngsters
which is "often lacking in small communities.
| When opening dates have been arranged, the project will be extensively
advertised through the press, radio
and distribution of handbills, and the
support of this and surrounding com*
munities will be welcomed.
