Clare's First Fight

Crowd Friday
Clare's first am&teuif boxing show
introduced two local b6ys who proved
they are handy with their fists, as
they took decisions fjjom out-of-town
opponents. They are Jerry Marshall,
who got the nod ovei' Dennis Tobin
of Grand Rapids in the; evening's first
bout, and Bill Siddons, a featherweight -who outpointed Jack Krause,
of Saginaw. "  '     .
The entire fight prdgrafti was full
of fast action and a c^owd of nearly
800 filled the ringside sweats and stands
to applaud the best program of its
kind ever presented here. Nine bouts
were presented. ;
Frank Powers, another home town
scrapper, was a KO ^victim: of Jim
Flynn in a welterweight match.. Flynn
is a. hard-puching protege of Wes Ramey and trains in Barney's fight club
in Grand Rapids. The other KO was
scored by Billy Vaughn over Art
Swanson, both Saginaw featherweights,
Earl Ruby, president of the-spon

matchmaker and pronioter, wete introduced and each spoke a few words.
Leo Brown, former Clare High coach
who is always interested in boys' ath

committees and was given credit for
much of the success o| the entertainment venture. f
More boxing programs are to be presented in the future, Ruby said, and

50 ships were turned over by our Government to Great Britain in return for
valuable naval and air bases, One of
those ships was the U-S.S.S. Upshur,
renamed H.M.S. Clare, recognizing

An urgent appeal for registered
nurses available for polio duty in
Midwestern states was made today
by Rev. L. J. Nevins, chairman of the
Clare County Red Cross Chapter. Red
Cross Midwestern Headquarters in St.
Louis has advised that prolonged recruitment during Bummei* months for
widely scattered communities where
local nursing staffs were overburdened has exhausted regular procurement channels.
indications are that the number of
polio victims will increase up through
early fall, and the present need for
nurses not Heretofore reached by this
appeal is expected to continue
throughout this term as new patients
are admitted' to hospitals and replacements on long-term cases become
necessary.
According to Rev. 'Nevins,' n*urses
now are needed particularly in polio1
centers in Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa,
and Texas, with 245 nurses already
recruited this year by the Red Cross
for these states.
The National Foundation will pay
the cost of transporting those nurses
recruited to their place of assignment,
and will pay a subsistence allowance,
in addition to their salary, while they
are serving in polio work. All nurses
available for polio duty should con»

Cederberg beat the incumbent mayor of Bay City in a city election there

The dean of Michigan's legislators is

District Health Department No. 7 this
week issued a final plea for adults to
get chest X-ray at the Clare County
Fair September 12-16.
Every fair visitor from 15-100 years
of age can get the simple check by
spending only a few minutes of time.
As a leading contender in the battle
to knock out TB a chest X-ray is painless, harmless, reliable and accurate.
There is no disrobing.
Dr,' Irwin D. Sweet, district health
department director, points out that
early TB has no outward warning
symptoms. Not until the disease is
moderately or far advanced does it
«stia?fy*signal trouble.
"And by thifi time the infected person has usually\passed germs ..oil to;
some'member of his family .'"Pf, a^socl-*

chest X-ray, adults do two things:
Check*-'against unknown invasion of
TB germs and safeguard against
spreading disease to 'youngsters,
friends and others."
Chest X-rays given by. the mobile
unit will act as a screening test to
sift out "suspicious" chests. Persons
whose X-rays show possible trouble
will be advised to visit their family
[physician for further examinations.
Reports on chest X-rays will come

abnormalities will be confidential to
