the popular horse owned by Janet Schaeffer.
P'ctur*»d s.i!QV- is.-Goldie in action, drinking-a bottle -of pop that
Jan is offerirtg her.
Goldie is seemingly fascinated by the color of the pop because
she  refuses  the  drink  unless   it   is bright red.
The hat Goldie has on is a creation presented to her on her
eighth birthday by Mrs. S. C. McArthur.
Other tricks which Goldie will do include such things as chasing
Jan around the dairy bar in quest of an ice cream cone, doing her
hobby horse routine or prancing and dancing, and carrying Jan's dog,
Lucky, around  on  her back.
Janet is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Schaeffer.

COUNTY CHAPTER
REQUESTS FLOOD
RELIEF FUNDS
Contributions   Through   Red
Cross To Aid Flood
Area Victims
Clare County Red Cross Chairman Rev. Leslie J. Nevins announced this week that a voluntary
fund campaign will he conducted
in the county, for the relief of
Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and
Illinois flood victims.
Contributions may he taken or
sent to Howard Everts or Rev.
Nevins in Clare; Russell Boyer, in
Harrison; or Robert Jones, in Far-
well • ■-- •**■
Each chapter was originally
asked to raise 20% of its annual
national Red Cross quota, hut
greatly increased demands for relief have necessitated that 40% of
the quota be raised. This is approximately $500 for the CUre
County chapter.
Contributions made to the disaster fund appeal are not made to
the Red Cross, hut through the
Red Cross to meet the human
needs of individuals and families

furniture destroyed and lives
shattered by disaster.

President E. Rolland Harriman
emphasized that estimates of Red
Cross flood relief expenditures
have more than doubled since the
special $5,000,000 appeal was
launched at the request of President Truman. More than 26,000
families are now expected to register for emergency and rehabilitation assistance, and nearly 7,500
will need help in rebuilding or repairing their homes. The remainder need assistance in replacing
or repairing destroyed or damaged
household furnishings.

tary basis without house to house

Letters to the Editor
County Officers
To Sentinel's Report
On Last County Audit
To The Edi-Qr*
August 13, 1951
Mr, William E, Bowler,
County Superintendent of Roads
Clare, Michigan, . .
Dear Sir: -      ?
In reply to 'your inquiry of today in regard tp salaries of County
Road Commissioners, made on October 18, 1946, reads as follows:
Supervisor Jones reported on
Salaries. Moved by Supervisor
Scott, supported by Supervisor
Hether, that the report be accepted
as recommended by the committee
and spread on the record. Carried.
To the Honorable Board of
Supervisors:
We, your Committee on Officers
Salaries wish to submit the following report. Salaries to take effect
January 1, 1947."
We recommend the following
salaries be paid from the County
Road Commission Fund:
Three (3) County Road Cinimis-
sioners, each at $1,000.00 per year,
including mileage.
' Fred L. Jones
L. H. Thompson
Ray Richardson   ft
Louis Gee
Francis Frey
'Yours very truly,
Wm. A. Henderson
County Clerk ,.
Ed Note: The foregoing letter
from Mr. Henderson to Mr. Bowler
is printed in The Sentinel at the
request of, and with permission
from Mr. Bowler.
It -was offered as proof that the
Auditor's General's public reports,
parts of which were quoted in last
week's Sentinel, was in error
where it said, "The recorded minutes of the board of supervisors'
proceedings (Page 229, dated October 18, 1948) set the salaries of
each county road commissioner at
$1,000.00 per year. . ."
The commissioners told The
Sentinel that none of them were
ever paid at the old salary rate of
$350.00 per yeai*, and the salary
Was changed  long  before 1948.
This argument seems well proved by the letter Quoted above, and
by copies of official proceedings of
the Supervisors.
The Sentinel regrets any wrong
•Impressions which may.,haye *b**en,
caused by reporting any erroneous
public paper. The Auditor General's report together with copies of
Official Proceedings minutes are
always available for public inspection at the Sentinel office.
- To The Editor:
Public please__notice. *
Regarding ttye article in the
Clare Sentinel last week headed
"Clare County Audit Shows Need
For Change Says Auditor General".
I am wondering why the editor of
the  Sentinel   did   not  explain  to
the public  the  change  suggested,
by the auditor. * '
Also why the remark was mads
that the handling of public funds
and the taxpayer's money by the
Sheriff was slipshod or downright -
careless. -.-'.%
The   change   suggested   by  the   '
auditor was that instead of giving
the Sheriff a lump sum for deputy
hire each deputy be paid directly
by county warrants.
At the present time the Clare
County Board of Supervisor*- is
allowing the sheriff two hundred
dollars ($200) instead of the three
hundred as recorded by the auditor, to be used by him for deputy
hire-' How far does anyone think
that *$200.00 goes when it is, V.eft ■>
in all parts of the county tor tlie
various things the sheriff 'tJ4$«tp
call on some one else to help ;hljn,
do or to do tor him? Also pom. .
what source doe§ he pay them after
this $200.00 dollars is used: up?
This comes directly trom his, own
pocket and often amounts to much
more than the $200,00 allowed* him* "
Anyone realizing the size of Clara
county will know that with the
amount of work to be dotfe one "■
man cannot begin to handle all of
it and consequently has to pay
someone else to help him with part
of it.
The auditor also listed $1?S.|0
automobile allowance as being bald
in a lump sum to the sheriff, "ihis
money was paid directly by the
county to the garage or filling
station Where the car repairs oc
gasoline was purchased.
This $168.50 was also listed by
the auditor as compensation received by the sheriff while in reality not one penny was received by
by him in ,a lump sum or otherwise.
The only other lump sum re'
ceived is $100.00 per year for doing
the county washings. If this wero
to be paid directly by county warrants for the amount it actually
should come to it would be tar iu
excess of the $100.00 now paid.
The auditors report is open to
the public at the Clare County Jail
and anyone wishing to look thein
over is welcome to do so and find
out tor himself that no suc& remarks, were., made or inferred %.
against this office, 1>y either the
auditor or the auditor general
himself.
Our books and receipts are open
for inspection as I think the public
is entitled to know how the funds
of this office are being handled.
Come in and see for yourself that
none of the public funds or taxpayers money is being handled In
either a slipshod or careless manner.

"Beef On The
Hoof" May Be
Barbecued
The City Police Department was
notified August 6 that three **yhite
face cattle were loose on the. Ann
Arbor right of way near the 'Clare
Livestock Auction Yards.
Chief "Cowboy Jim" Decker,
with the assistance of Jean Hall
and her "cow pony,"who were in
the vicinity at the time, rounded
up the white faces and corralled
them in a neaby field. The Police
Department then commenced a-
search for the owner.
Next day the white faces got Out
of the field and "Cowboy Jim" was
again notified. By the time he
reached the scene, the cattle had
been put in a pen at the Stock
yards, as an Ann Arbor freight was
passing, endangering their very ex-*
istence.
They were kept at the stock
yards from Tuesday until Saturday
when the owner was finally located and took the cattle home.
On Wednesday "Cowboy Jim"
received several* phone calls from
irate neighbors of the vicinity
because the wayward White faces
had returned for another vegetarian feast of sweet corn, other vegetables and apples frorn their gardens.
The owner was- again notified
and again took his persistent ho-
viues hpme.
Chief Decker is momentarily expecting to be notified that the. pil-
f erous white faces are "at it
again" and promises that if and
when they are, he is going to serve
barbecued beef, with sweet corn
and other vegetables which may be
"snitched" from the gardens of
this vicinity. Three perfectly
healthy white faces will furnish
nye onto a ton of succulent beef
for a lot of barbecued sandwiches
and Jim has agreed to let all his
friends and acquaintances in on
the feast.
