FARWELL SENIORS
WILL APPEAR IN
CLASS PLAY MC. 1
Cast To Thrill Audience With
Communis*;   Intrigue
And Sabotage
t Farwell High School seniors 'will
stage an unus.ual .production in their
class play on' the evening of- Decern*
oer first, when they open the curtains
on "Dangerous Ladies" at the school
auditorium there.
"Dangerous Ladies" is somewhat on
the dramatic side, and is a new play
■written hy Hilda Manning, Mr. Kil-
-oran, is the faculty director, and eleven players appear in the cast.
Employing* the. timely theme 0-
Commnnist intrigue and sabotage, the
play takes place in tha home of the
Harris sisters in a small American
manufacturing city.
The sisters appear to be two kindly
and aristocratic old ladies, hut are
actually using their home and servants to obtain vital information from
the nearby airplane factory.
Into this -situation comes their
niece, Ellen Burgess, and test pilot
Bob Ransoms, to complicate matters
for the old ladies. How these two,
with able assistance from the lady
next door and not so able aid from
the cop on the heat, succeed in upsetting the spinsters' plans makes a
tense, gripping story.
The cast is as follows:
Charlotte Harris—Norma **  Iter
Laura Harris—Sharon Hulin
Johnnie Porter—Raymond Green
Andrews—Philip Sparta
Michael—Carl Gruno
Hilda—Ruth Smith
Kelly—Dale Laverty
Mrs. Hart—Thelma Penny

HUNTERS CROSS
THE STRAITS WITS
MUM! DELAY
4708   Cars   Carried   By   State
Ferries   On   Season's
Busiest Day
Unofficial figures by the State Highway Department indicate that the
number of deer hunters who crossed
the Straits of Mackinac to the Upper
Peninsula on the Michigan State Ferries this year is slightly less than
last year.
The total number of northbound
cars for the six days preceding the
opening of deer season was 16,532
this year compared to 16,939 in 19.9,
a decrease of 407., The State Ferries
carried 4,708 vehicles northbound on
November H, the peak day of this
year's hunter traffic, a decrease of 100
under last year's biggest day.
Deer hunters found this year's traffic movement at the Straits especially
to their liking, with no long line-up of
cars waiting to board the ferries as
has been the case for many years
past. Only one short line-up was reported this year, on. Sunday, November 12, and that was eliminated quickly. At all other times drivers* were
able to board the ferries with a minimum of delay. The fact that many
hunters left on their trips earlier than
usual and spread out this traffic over
a longer period of time, probably accounted for the smoother flow of traffic across the. Straits this year.
The first deer, a small buck, was
taken across the Straits at 12:30 p.m,
on the opening day of the season by
Orson Smith, Route 1, Dowling, Michigan. His kill was made near Manis-
tique at 8:05 a.m.
Dr. J. Gerald Hooper in the second
number of their World Travel Series,
at the Clare High School auditorium,
at 8:15 o'clock next Thursday evening, November 30.
Dr, Hooper's film-story, "Wandering
Southward," portrays the beauties of
Florida, land of legend and romance,
for this famous traveler has captured
the beauty that has become a magnet
which attracts thousands of vacationists southward each winter.
As you take the trip with him, you
drift lazily down through the South,
stopping at Warm Springs, Muscle
Shoals, Lookout Mountain, Fort Ben-
ning and other famous places. When
you reach Florida, you go deep sea
fishing, attend the races, play golf,
swim in the ocean, loaf in the sun—
and have a wonderful time. Of course
you visit Miami, Daytona Beach, St.
Augustine, Key West, Cuba and many
popular cities, as well as Cypress Gardens, Bok Tower, Marineland, and all
of Florida's great tourist attractions.
Whether you have ever been in
Florida, or not, Dr. Hooper's vivid descriptions, with a background of soft
and appropriate music, assure you of
a delightful evening.
Season tickets for the five remaining numbers of the series may be had
at the reduced price of $3.50 for adults
and 52.00 for children from .Houghton's Drug Store, Dr. K. •Hammerberg,
Citizens State Bank or Donald E, Holbrook. Single admission tickets will
be available at the door.
Proceeds will be used for the Kiwanis Club's underprivileged children's
work.
Trrappers Begin
Annual Harvest
Far
earers
Trapping season on muskrat, mink
end raccoon started November 15 in
the northern lower peninsula and December 1 in the southern third of the
state.
However, since November 1, it has
been legal to trap or hunt badger
and skunk and hunt mink and raccoon
in any part of the state.
Harvesting muskrats and mink usually is- worth about $1,000,000 mainly
to trappers, more in past years when
•market prices were higher.
The department issued! 18,141 trapping licenses in 1949. Computed kill,
including bag of both hunters and
trappers, was nearly 600,000 muskrats,
close to 23,000 mink and 87,000 raccoon. About 27,000 weasels also wer*e
taken.
Fur bearers, besides the weasel, on
which there is no closed season, are
coyote, wolf, lynx, bobcat, fox and
opossum.

Waterfowl Hunting
Is Better Now
On Inland Lakes
Duck hunters, who can get at the
divers, should; have better hunting the
remaining days of the season, the
conservation department announces.
Influx of migrating canvasbacks, blue-
bills and redheads reached a peak the
November 11 weekend.
A mid-season- aerial survey by department waterfowl workers over the
"big waters" Bhows about a 38: percent increase in the number of ducks
as compared' to last year's like census data. The increase is 215 percent
better than in 1948.
Survey workers report three times
as many ducks as last year now on
Saginaw Bay. Lake St. Clair shows
a moderate 22 percent increase. But
Lake Erie is- down 40 percent, due
possibly to the migration failing, to
extend this far as yet.   "'

and has seen considerable action- with
this group-the past several months.
Hunter Tries
To Specft Deer
The charge was having a strung
bow in the car, but - the convicted,
game law violator presented" conservation department officers here with
their most unusual case of the season.
An unsuccessful Detroit bow and
arrow hunter nearly hit a deer'with
his car at night, It was1 then he conceived the idea of fastening a sharp-
edged pole to his car and charging up
back trails in search of a whitetail.
He explained to w(. K. Summers,
department district '/supervisor, he
thought he could' drivq the pole edge
into the 'deer, making it look as
though the deer had been, legally shot
with an arrow.

THANKSGIVING
IS OBSERVED IN
LOCAL CHURCHES
Worshippers   Are   Told   Story
Of   Christian   Meaning
Of   The  Day
Emphasis upon Thanksgiving as a
Christian holiday was reflected in the
worship theme of various Clare
churches which celebrated the occasion with special.services last Sunday.
The First Congregational Church
announced a Thanksgiving Day service ^or 10:30 a.m. Thursday with Rev,
Olson's sermon topic, "The Unexpected Guest.''
" "Thanks Be Unto God," was the
title of Rev, Nevins' Sunday morning
sermon at the Clare Methodist Church.
The speaker admoished Christians to
count their^ blessings and be thankful
iii these times when many others are
less fortunate than we, A Christian
faith and reliance in God become
stronger as these qualities are tested
by adversities in life, Rev, Nevins
said.
Special music by the adult choir and
by the junior choir added to the service which drew a near-capacity throng
at the Methodist church.
Looking for loftier reasons to be
thankful was called the Christian way
to a more significant Thanksgiving, in
Rev- Olson's Sunday sermon at the
Congregational Church. His pulpit
message titled, "I Have Clothed You
With Festal Garments," dwelt upon
the promise of God's forgiveness, calling it the higher blessing to be thankful for.  ,
Special music by the choir and by
Mr. Collins, organist, featured other
parts of the service.
In many other churches special pulpit messages and music made note of
the holiday.
