Doherty Opens New Room
In Easter
re
Hundreds Served In Central
Michigan's Finest Dining
Room Sunday
Move than four hundred, Easter
guests were served' dinners in the festive atmosphere of the formal opening of the Doherty's Room Sunday,
Couples and their guests, and large
family parties filled' all tables in the
enlarged and redecorated room where
serving was continuous from noon
until nine o'clock in the evening.
Many out-of-towners were among the
opening day crowds, and they joined
scores of Glare people in congratulating Mr. Doherty and the hotel management upon the handsome improvement to the hotel.
Organ music in the new Doherty's
Room, and a four piece orchestra in
the Wedgewood Room provided background' music throughout most of the
afternoon and evening. Vases and baskets of flowers in colorful profusion
were provided by friends and well
wishers, and a fun feature of the day,
was a "unique" Easter bonnet contest with orchids for prizes.
The room itself is a beautiful addition to the Hotel's dining facilities.
Large and light, it combines the entire floor space of two large rooms
formerly in that corner of the building.
The Doherty's Room walls are
papered in a distinctive pattern suggesting Colonial American, and immense gold chandeliers, carpeting,
thick and luxurious underfoot, and
two spacious bay windows looking out
on McEwan street, recall the best of
colonial impressions.
Sunday's menu included the Doher-
ty chef's famous specialty, prime ribs
of beef, and also seafood, baked Vir*
ginia ham, roast turkey, fried half of
spring chicken, and trout from Den
mark among other main courses with
vegetables and salads; and delicious
desserts. .
The meals were served on tables covered with white linen, and new dining
chairs are .upholstered in 4eep tan in
keeping with the general color
scheme of the walls and carpet. Color
accent is provided by sweeping
drapes at the large windows.
The complete Doherty's Room increases the seating capacity of the
hotel for banquets and large dinners
so that great numbers may be seated
at one time, and the new room by itself is most certainly the best and
most modern big dining room anywhere in this part of the state.

The regular Clare Rod

Tuesday evening in the VFW Hall,

regular meeting that has been seen
since World War" II. The regular
business was disposed of in short order and' the balance of the meeting
devoted to discussion of plans for the
new clubhouse which the club has
been planning for some time and final
plans, for the forth coming annual
banquet.
This year the Annual Rod anti^Gun
Club banquet will be held in the Odd
Fellow Hail, with the Rebekahs as

the evening. Red is an ex-Big League
Umpire and a" very humorous speaker with all of his baseball stories.
There will also be other entertainment. All in all a short snappy pro*
gram is planned.
' There are plenty of ticket sellers
on the streets so anyone who wants
to get to this year's banquet should
have no trouble finding a ticket if
they buy early. Last year there were
some who waited till the last minute
and were, or nearly were disappointed. Better avoid the heart strain and
the anxiety and buy early.

The address of welcome was given
by Jack Burnett, Senior Class President of Harrison. Laurence J. Taylor,
the Master of Ceremonies, from Michigan State College, then introduced
the Resource people. Brief speeches
on "Why We Should be Concerned
About Government". were given by
Hon. Frank G. Millard, Attorney General; Harold Hughes, Prosecuting Attorney for Clare County; G. R. Bogan,
Superintendent of Farwell Public
Schools; and Dick Beard, student
from Clare. A Town Meeting was then
held1 with the Resource People and
students discussing freely various topics of government. The questions
asked by students and the arguments
used by them indicated that, through
the study of government, they have
acquired a familiarity with the functions of our government and ai* alertness; to present day problems:
At 12:00 a lunch was served in the
Congregational Church, At 1:30 all
students and Resource People reassembled at the high school, and di-
a community don't take an active
interest in their government. Then
there was a brief summary of the
discussion carried on In the sectional
meetings. Judge Dethmers, of the
State Supreme Court, gave a final ad-
montion to the students urging them
to prepare themselves to become
competent citizens and leaders in
their community.
The Seniors of Clare county are
grateful to officers of the county, cities and townships who so graciously
gave their time for their benefit and
special thanks to State officials, John
Dethmers, Judge of the State Supreme Court; Frank J. Millard, Attorney General; William Dexter, Assistant Attorney General; Elmer Hanna,
Michigan Highway Department; Dr,
John Haitema, Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction; and Dr.

The Seniors' feel that Government

regretted that projects such as this
can't be extended to include adults as
well.

Among all the public affairs that interest people, the school

practically no one gives an "I don't know," or "never thought
of it," answer to a serious question about personal opinion ,of
schools. Yet many individuals who have private ideas about how
our methods of teaching could be improved, or how much money
should be spent for education do not bring their ideas to action!—
nor how to organize for cooperation with school authorities.
The school has equal responsibility with the parent for a
child's upbringing, according to mothers
and fathers themselves. And a huge majority of us holds that grade school has by
far the greatest influence on children, and
the grade teacher is most important.

DuPont Representative Tells Of
Part Of Chemistry In
Modern Living
•
The latest developments in paint,
and' interesting sidelights on the part
chemical science and research play
in everyday living, were the subjects
of a "Paint Meeting" Wednesday evening, March 21, at Clare Hardware
Company. The meeting, sponsored by
Clare Hardware Company was attended by 21 of the leading local painting
contractors "and maintenance engineers.
Highlight of the meeting was a motion- picture, in color, called "Hired
Hands." The film shows the relation-
Ship between industry and our local
business operations, and contains pertinent facts on recent developments
in the paint field,
The principal-speaker, S. F. Tjer-
nell, of E. I. du Pont de Nemours &
Co., emphasized the important part
that chemistry has played in the development of our high standards of
living, and illustrated with interesting demonstrations of nylon yarn, a
new fabric made of "Orion" acrylic
fiber, and a plastic material known as
"Alathon" polythene resin. Speaking
Of chemistry and paint, Mr, Tjernell
said: "Modern chemistry has brought
new standards of beauty and durability to every paint user.- For centuries, only a few basic raw materials
were known, and used, for the making
of paints. The research of the paint
chemist lias opened doors to a wonder
world of riew materials that make,
possible "finishes that look better,
wear better, and last longer than our
fathers would ever have thought possible.
Refreshments were served after the
meeting, and members of the Clare
Hardware Company assisted in the
awarding of several prizes to those in
attend-ance. , y " ".'*..
ISABELLA PIONEER
PASSES AWAY AT
ROSEBUSH HOME
Henry S. G. House Laid To
Rest Tuesday Afternoon
At Rosebush
Henry S. G. House was born in
Somersetshire, England, June 8, 1864,
and died at his home March 24, 1951,
at the age of 86 years and nine
months.
In 1869 »Mr, House came with his
parents to Canada where they lived
for five years. The family moved to
Monroe Coupty, Michigan in 1874. In
1879 they moved to the farm in Isabella county, part of which he later
purchased and where he passed away.
He was united in marriage to Mary
Ellen Jasmin October 5, 1891. to this
union were bom ten children, now
Gladys . Schug, and Delia Wild, of
Clarerifelizabeth'Breining, of Ann Arbor, Harry House, of Rosebush, Mildred Thurow, of Charlotte, and June
Gieseler, of Barryton.
Reuben House, Roy House, Marie
Smith and Ruth House preceded their
father in death.
Mr. House began his business career in 1889* when he bought forty
acres of land adjoining his fathers
property. Later on he increased his
holdings in Isabella county to the present 140 acres.
In 1899, Mr. House discontinued agriculture to engage in the farm implement business. In addition to his
main office near Rosebush, he had
branch offices in Osceola county and
elsewhere. He continued in this business until 1920 when, he moved his family to Farwell. There he retired from
active business and 'devoted the rest
of his time to aiding his wife in the
gospel work at Farwell and Forrest
Hill, where he was still an active
member at the time of his death.
In 1940 Mr. House returned with
his wife, to the farm and built a new
home.
He was a faithful husband and a
devoted father whose services were
always at the command of his children's wishes.
Besides his wife and children, he
leaves to mourn their loss, one brother, George S. House, of Clare, two
sisters, Sarah Wallace, of Eaton Rapids, Emily Archer, of Mt. Pleasant;
25 grandchildren and 32 greatgrandchildren.
Funeral services were held from
the Stinson Funeral Home in Mt.
Pleasant at *2:W o'clock Tuesday af-
children's education.
Having virtually turned their children over to the schools to accomplish
a tremendous job - in training, most
parents are content to let well enough
alone, unaware that countless opportunities to help in the job are present
every hour.
Are you one who believes that the
modern school picture is "pretty good"
generally speaking, but that your own
township or your city has its particular problems?
Then listen ...
Schools will be receiving the kind
of attention they deserve from this
angle, when sixty percent or more of
the parents are members of the P.T.A.
or some other educationally active organization, —and a majority of these
members attend meetings and take
interested parts, *
However, here is the actual picture:
The Farwell school with 550 pupils
has no organized group of common
interest -for parents and teachers.
Rosebush's attendance is very good at
p.T.A. "meetings, but the membership
of 50 shpuld be increased. Enrollment,
at Clare's public school is 725 but the
P.T.A. numbers only 54. The Harrison,
school of 530 pupils Interests some 50
Mother's Club members.
Country one-room schools are at an
even worse disadvantage in this respect, and citizen participation in local education has brought practically
no change in many of them in a
decade or more.
Exceptions among rural school-
minded groups are the Brown Corners-
P.T.A, with live programs of great
Value to their school, a similar group
with interesting varied programs at
the Myers School, the Franklin Township Unit School organization of progressive adults, and the Andersonville
School P.T.A. with a very well round-

Many out-of-towners were among the opening day crowds, and they joined scores of Glare people in congratulating Mr. Doherty and the hotel management upon the handsome improvement to the hotel. Organ music in the new Doherty's Room, and a four piece orchestra in the Wedgewood Room provided background' music throughout most of the afternoon and evening. Vases and baskets of flowers in colorful profusion were provided by friends and well wishers, and a fun feature of the day, was a "unique" Easter bonnet contest with orchids for prizes. The room itself is a beautiful addition to the Hotel's dining facilities. Large and light, it combines the entire floor space of two large rooms formerly in that corner of the building. The Doherty's Room walls are papered in a distinctive pattern suggesting Colonial American, and immense gold chandeliers, carpeting, thick and luxurious underfoot, and two spacious bay windows looking out on McEwan street, recall the best of colonial impressions. Sunday's menu included the Doher- ty chef's famous specialty, prime ribs of beef, and also seafood, baked Vir* ginia ham, roast turkey, fried half of spring chicken, and trout from Den mark among other main courses with vegetables and salads; and delicious desserts. . The meals were served on tables covered with white linen, and new dining chairs are .upholstered in 4eep tan in keeping with the general color scheme of the walls and carpet. Color accent is provided by sweeping drapes at the large windows. The complete Doherty's Room increases the seating capacity of the hotel for banquets and large dinners so that great numbers may be seated at one time, and the new room by itself is most certainly the best and most modern big dining room anywhere in this part of the state.

A Town Meeting was then held1 with the Resource People and students discussing freely various topics of government. The questions asked by students and the arguments used by them indicated that, through the study of government, they have acquired a familiarity with the functions of our government and ai* alertness; to present day problems: At 12:00 a lunch was served in the Congregational Church, At 1:30 all students and Resource People reassembled at the high school, and di- a community don't take an active interest in their government. Then there was a brief summary of the discussion carried on In the sectional meetings.

Parent- Teacher Groups Work for Better Schools Among all the public affairs that interest people, the school system draws very positive reactions to any and all questions of operation, financing, personnel, and success toward its goal. practically no one gives an "I don't know" or "never thought of it" answer to a serious question about personal opinion ,of schools. Yet many individuals who have private ideas about how our methods of teaching could be improved, or how much money should be spent for education do not bring their ideas to action!— nor how to organize for cooperation with school authorities. The school has equal responsibility with the parent for a child's upbringing, according to mothers and fathers themselves. And a huge majority of us holds that grade school has by far the greatest influence on children, and the grade teacher is most important.

CLARE HARDWARE COMPANY HOST AT "PAINT MEETING' #_ DuPont Representative Tells Of Part Of Chemistry In Modern Living • The latest developments in paint, and' interesting sidelights on the part chemical science and research play in everyday living, were the subjects of a "Paint Meeting" Wednesday evening, March 21, at Clare Hardware Company. The meeting, sponsored by Clare Hardware Company was attended by 21 of the leading local painting contractors "and maintenance engineers. Highlight of the meeting was a motion- picture, in color, called "Hired Hands." The film shows the relation- Ship between industry and our local business operations, and contains pertinent facts on recent developments in the paint field, The principal-speaker, S. F. Tjer- nell, of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., emphasized the important part that chemistry has played in the development of our high standards of living, and illustrated with interesting demonstrations of nylon yarn, a new fabric made of "Orion" acrylic fiber, and a plastic material known as "Alathon" polythene resin. Speaking Of chemistry and paint, Mr, Tjernell said: "Modern chemistry has brought new standards of beauty and durability to every paint user.- For centuries, only a few basic raw materials were known, and used, for the making of paints. The research of the paint chemist lias opened doors to a wonder world of riew materials that make, possible "finishes that look better, wear better, and last longer than our fathers would ever have thought possible. Refreshments were served after the meeting, and members of the Clare Hardware Company assisted in the awarding of several prizes to those in attend-ance. , y " ".'*.. ISABELLA PIONEER PASSES AWAY AT ROSEBUSH HOME Henry S. G. House Laid To Rest Tuesday Afternoon At Rosebush Henry S. G. House was born in Somersetshire, England, June 8, 1864, and died at his home March 24, 1951, at the age of 86 years and nine months. In 1869 »Mr, House came with his parents to Canada where they lived for five years. The family moved to Monroe Coupty, Michigan in 1874. In 1879 they moved to the farm in Isabella county, part of which he later purchased and where he passed away. He was united in marriage to Mary Ellen Jasmin October 5, 1891. to this union were bom ten children, now Gladys . Schug, and Delia Wild, of Clarerifelizabeth'Breining, of Ann Arbor, Harry House, of Rosebush, Mildred Thurow, of Charlotte, and June Gieseler, of Barryton. Reuben House, Roy House, Marie Smith and Ruth House preceded their father in death. Mr. House began his business career in 1889* when he bought forty acres of land adjoining his fathers property. Later on he increased his holdings in Isabella county to the present 140 acres. In 1899, Mr. House discontinued agriculture to engage in the farm implement business. In addition to his main office near Rosebush, he had branch offices in Osceola county and elsewhere. He continued in this business until 1920 when, he moved his family to Farwell. There he retired from active business and 'devoted the rest of his time to aiding his wife in the gospel work at Farwell and Forrest Hill, where he was still an active member at the time of his death. In 1940 Mr. House returned with his wife, to the farm and built a new home. He was a faithful husband and a devoted father whose services were always at the command of his children's wishes. Besides his wife and children, he leaves to mourn their loss, one brother, George S. House, of Clare, two sisters, Sarah Wallace, of Eaton Rapids, Emily Archer, of Mt. Pleasant; 25 grandchildren and 32 greatgrandchildren. Funeral services were held from the Stinson Funeral Home in Mt. Pleasant at *2:W o'clock Tuesday af- children's education. Having virtually turned their children over to the schools to accomplish a tremendous job - in training, most parents are content to let well enough alone, unaware that countless opportunities to help in the job are present every hour. Are you one who believes that the modern school picture is "pretty good" generally speaking, but that your own township or your city has its particular problems? Then listen ... Schools will be receiving the kind of attention they deserve from this angle, when sixty percent or more of the parents are members of the P.T.A. or some other educationally active organization, —and a majority of these members attend meetings and take interested parts, * However, here is the actual picture: The Farwell school with 550 pupils has no organized group of common interest -for parents and teachers. Rosebush's attendance is very good at p.T.A. "meetings, but the membership of 50 shpuld be increased. Enrollment, at Clare's public school is 725 but the P.T.A. numbers only 54. The Harrison, school of 530 pupils Interests some 50 Mother's Club members. Country one-room schools are at an even worse disadvantage in this respect, and citizen participation in local education has brought practically no change in many of them in a decade or more. Exceptions among rural school- minded groups are the Brown Corners- P.T.A, with live programs of great Value to their school, a similar group with interesting varied programs at the Myers School, the Franklin Township Unit School organization of progressive adults, and the Andersonville School P.T.A. with a very well round- (Contlnued on Page Twelve) Dr. A.
