Work on tho new kittle Tobacco
Creek bridge on US-27 is, progressing
satisfactorily, with excavation completed and a coffer dam built to divert the water of the stream while
the bridge is being built. Workmen
have pumped the water out of the
stream bed and on Thursday were
waiting for State Highway Department engineers to determine whether new piling would be required
under the walls of the new bridge.
Forms are ready, and as soon as
grades are established, concrete "Will
be poured for the bottom of the two
8x8 loot tunnels which will form the
bridge. The outside walls and divid-

inch thick concrete. Plans' are to
start pouring next Tuesday,

the bridge location and City Water
Department employees worked most
all day to complete temporary repairs by 6; 00 p. m. Water for the
south end of the city is being provided through the Maple Street main
while the bridge building is in pro-

While excavating for an IS inch
storm sewer along US-27 Tuesday
morning, a water main leak was discovered near First Street. When the
main was uncovered it was found thai
this was a section of the original
wood water mains, some of which
have been in service here for 70
years. Seventy-five feet of^iron main
is being laid from First Street north.

State Selective
Service Halts
May Inductions
* Orders from State Selective Service
headquarters to halt inductions ached'
uled for May, have been received by
Mrs. Harvey Hartshorn, Secretary of
the Clare County Draft Board.
The Army has announced that it
will cut its originally planned call for
60,000 men in May to 40,000, because
of continued increase in enlistments
and fewer casualties in Korea. The
April draft call was reduced from
80,000 to 40,000 for the same reason.
Mock
Of
Raid Reveals Shortage
Plasma And Other
Essential Supplies
Ernest Irwin, President 'of the
Michigan Flying Farmers and a member of the Council of Civil Air Defense and Laurenee -Seiter, an associate member of the Flying Farm'
ers and a participant in, the Civil
Air Defense plan, were in .attendance
at tne-firat. A-bomb'drill, at the.Soo
Monday, where the grim- realities of
a genuine A-bomb attack were enacted when six jet fighters of the 10-th
Air Force dropped 50 imaginary one
ton block busters and a make believe
A-bomb on one of Michigan's most
strategic points, the Soo.
The response to all the appeals for
help, in spite of adverse weather conditions, was very satisfactory, with
medical groups, state troopers, fir.
trucks, technical crews, utility crews
and other volunteer -civil defense
workers arriving in record time.
However, the nation's first realistic
atom bomb raid showed civilians
eager to mobilize for emergency duty,
but graphically demonstrated a grave
need for increased equipment and supplies in event of a real bomb attack.
Doctors estimate vthat at least half
of the casualties would have died because the central blood plasma bank
in Lansing could send only 4,900 units
of plasma when 10,000 were needed.
There was also a shortage of blankets.
Planes arrived from all over the
state, representing a major portion
of the regions set up by the Civil
Air Defense Council this spring.
Gov. G-. Mennen Williams, Don. S."
Leonard, Commander of State Police,
and Lester Maitland, Chief of Civil
Defense, as well as observers from
Washington and Canada, were on
hand to observe the results of the
experiment, which was the first of
its kind in Michigan.
We Are Lucky
In Michigan
By R. S. Marks
Regional Fisheries Supervisor
The people of Michigan are about
the most fortunate people imaginable,
where hunting and fishing abound to
an almost unlimited degree and diversity.
Of course we -have our ups and
downs and the years when fishing and
hunting are down, it makes us all realize that something is amiss. To a
large extent this is to be expected in
return, but just think what would
happen if we let fires burn out of control and fishermen and hunters did
not take every precaution necessary
to arrest fires.
The recovery, of fish and wildlife
from these low cycles would be much
more rapid if the food and habitat are
not destroyed by fire. This is Very
true, especially in regard to fish. Burning along streams destroys the food
for the better part of their growing
season. Fish have to eat to be healthy
and to grow, even as you and I.
Fires destroy shade as well, which
results in warming the water to such
a point that trout cannot survive.
Again they must have favorable habitat during all periods of the year to
survive.
By keeping fires to the very mini-
iqum, we can have both more fish, and
wildlife this year, as well as next, So/
be careful with your smoking materials while in the woods and along1
our many streams that we are so fortunate to have in Michigan.

City Commission Takes Action
To Provide Supervised
Swimming For Kids
Mayor Albert Haley, who has ser-
ved the city in this capacity the past
three years, was appointed to continue for another year, when the new
City Commission met Monday evening. Mayor Haley's city appointments will be made at the next regular meeting of the Commission, May
1-
Rev. Leslie J. Nevins, Clare County
Red Cross Chairman, addressed the
Commission concerning swimming
facilities for the young folks in -this
vicinity. Action was taken for Mayor
Haley and. Rev. Nevins to investigate
the possibilities of putting the swimming hole in Cedar Park in shape for
use by the children.
There are good bathing houses for
both boys, and- girls at this location
west of US-27 on the south bank of
the Tobacco River, but because of
caveins caused by rain and the cur-|
rent of the stream, this swimming
hole is not in good condition.
It is hoped that a suitable location
may be provided for the young folks'
recreation and a Red Cross Water
Safety Program, with the services of
a Red Cross trained attendant for the
safety of young swimmers.

Maury Elementary School of Richmond, Virginia, is one

Educators consider it the best elementary school in the
entire country, yet with limited funds and equipment and in a
poor neighborhood-, Maury's success is due almost alone jto
public pride and interest and modern, imaginative teaching.
Youth is America's most precious "investment," and realizing our ideals for improved education means: 1) Membership
in an organization with- an active school interest. 2) Understanding of school objectives. 3) Willingness to spend for

Workmen have pumped the water out of the stream bed and on Thursday were waiting for State Highway Department engineers to determine whether new piling would be required under the walls of the new bridge. Forms are ready, and as soon as grades are established, concrete "Will be poured for the bottom of the two 8x8 loot tunnels which will form the bridge. The outside walls and divid- " ing wall of the tunnels will be. of ten inch thick concrete. Plans' are to start pouring next Tuesday, While excavating Monday morning, the large power shovel tore out a section of six inch iron water main at the bridge location and City Water Department employees worked most all day to complete temporary repairs by 6; 00 p. m. Water for the south end of the city is being provided through the Maple Street main while the bridge building is in pro- • gress. While excavating for an IS inch storm sewer along US-27 Tuesday morning, a water main leak was discovered near First Street. When the main was uncovered it was found thai this was a section of the original wood water mains, some of which have been in service here for 70 years. Seventy-five feet of^iron main is being laid from First Street north. Laying of new water service pipes to business places, is being accomp- •*' lished as these pipeB will be covered by the new pavement. New Grade Crossing Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad crews are installing a completely new grade crossing at the US-27 intersection. AU new rails .and ties are being laid for the main line and two sidetracks and gum wood slabs will be lag screwed to the new ties for the oross ing surface. It was necessary to raise the railroad grade less than two inches at this poirtL —. •£?£—■«■£--*• _- >•'<#." •* LOCAL AVIATORS FLY TO S00 FOR A-BOMB ACTIVITIES MONDAY State Selective Service Halts May Inductions * Orders from State Selective Service headquarters to halt inductions ached' uled for May, have been received by Mrs. Harvey Hartshorn, Secretary of the Clare County Draft Board. The Army has announced that it will cut its originally planned call for 60,000 men in May to 40,000, because of continued increase in enlistments and fewer casualties in Korea. The April draft call was reduced from 80,000 to 40,000 for the same reason. Mock Of Raid Reveals Shortage Plasma And Other Essential Supplies Ernest Irwin, President 'of the Michigan Flying Farmers and a member of the Council of Civil Air Defense and Laurenee -Seiter, an associate member of the Flying Farm' ers and a participant in, the Civil Air Defense plan, were in .attendance at tne-firat. A-bomb'drill, at the.Soo Monday, where the grim- realities of a genuine A-bomb attack were enacted when six jet fighters of the 10-th Air Force dropped 50 imaginary one ton block busters and a make believe A-bomb on one of Michigan's most strategic points, the Soo. The response to all the appeals for help, in spite of adverse weather conditions, was very satisfactory, with medical groups, state troopers, fir. trucks, technical crews, utility crews and other volunteer -civil defense workers arriving in record time. However, the nation's first realistic atom bomb raid showed civilians eager to mobilize for emergency duty, but graphically demonstrated a grave need for increased equipment and supplies in event of a real bomb attack. Doctors estimate vthat at least half of the casualties would have died because the central blood plasma bank in Lansing could send only 4,900 units of plasma when 10,000 were needed. There was also a shortage of blankets. Planes arrived from all over the state, representing a major portion of the regions set up by the Civil Air Defense Council this spring. Gov. G-. Mennen Williams, Don. S." Leonard, Commander of State Police, and Lester Maitland, Chief of Civil Defense, as well as observers from Washington and Canada, were on hand to observe the results of the experiment, which was the first of its kind in Michigan. We Are Lucky In Michigan By R. S. Marks Regional Fisheries Supervisor The people of Michigan are about the most fortunate people imaginable, where hunting and fishing abound to an almost unlimited degree and diversity. Of course we -have our ups and downs and the years when fishing and hunting are down, it makes us all realize that something is amiss. To a large extent this is to be expected in return, but just think what would happen if we let fires burn out of control and fishermen and hunters did not take every precaution necessary to arrest fires. The recovery, of fish and wildlife from these low cycles would be much more rapid if the food and habitat are not destroyed by fire. This is Very true, especially in regard to fish. Burning along streams destroys the food for the better part of their growing season. Fish have to eat to be healthy and to grow, even as you and I. Fires destroy shade as well, which results in warming the water to such a point that trout cannot survive. Again they must have favorable habitat during all periods of the year to survive. By keeping fires to the very mini- iqum, we can have both more fish, and wildlife this year, as well as next, So/ be careful with your smoking materials while in the woods and along1 our many streams that we are so fortunate to have in Michigan. ALBERT HAM , TO CONTINUE AS CLARIS MAYOR City Commission Takes Action To Provide Supervised Swimming For Kids Mayor Albert Haley, who has ser- ved the city in this capacity the past three years, was appointed to continue for another year, when the new City Commission met Monday evening. Mayor Haley's city appointments will be made at the next regular meeting of the Commission, May 1- Rev. Leslie J. Nevins, Clare County Red Cross Chairman, addressed the Commission concerning swimming facilities for the young folks in -this vicinity. Action was taken for Mayor Haley and. Rev. Nevins to investigate the possibilities of putting the swimming hole in Cedar Park in shape for use by the children. There are good bathing houses for both boys, and- girls at this location west of US-27 on the south bank of the Tobacco River, but because of caveins caused by rain and the cur- rent of the stream, this swimming hole is not in good condition. It is hoped that a suitable location may be provided for the young folks' recreation and a Red Cross Water Safety Program, with the services of a Red Cross trained attendant for the safety of young swimmers.

A progressive P.T.A. group in an eastern town found: First, laymen and parents should find out if the school has an objective, —an over all plan of what is being taught, and how, and why. • • • Citizen participation is often dramatized in group pressure to obtain badly needed buildings, or decent salary scales "for teachers. . .

Prepared by representatives of the University of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Public Instruction, the area study plan is highly recommended for groups who will use it to measure the quality of their school's program. Education-minded groups must help elect or appoint good school boards and authorities, then give them the support and cooperation sthey need • ■ • • Vital problems: Community-School relations, —School Administration, —Teacher Personnels—Buildings and Equipment, —Public School Financing, are problems concerning all oi us.

Educators consider it the best elementary school in the entire country, yet with limited funds and equipment and in a poor neighborhood-, Maury's success is due almost alone jto public pride and interest and modern, imaginative teaching. Youth is America's most precious "investment" and realizing our ideals for improved education means: 1) Membership in an organization with- an active school interest. 2) Understanding of school objectives. 3) Willingness to spend for necessary equipment and iairer pay for good teachers.
