Harrold farm, nine miles north and
four and a half east of Clare on

The Harrolds were in their living
room aud their son, Charles, in his
home ou the farm at the time, but
their lights were burned out by the

In less than three minutes the
entire barn was filled with flames,
the lightning apparently having
struck the top of the building, running along the steel hay car track.
Some 2,000 bales of new hay, tractor cultivator, plow, corn planter
and grain drill were destroyed in

barley were saved. The Harrolds
had just finished harvesting the
grain. The latter buildings "caught

it was feared that they too would
be destroyed.

$4,000 and $5,000, was partially
covered by insurance.

i When his condition became worse
last Friday, he was taken to Dr.

rusl.ed to Bay City General Hospital that evening in a Stephen

The State Board of Health does
not require quarantine of members
of families whose children have
infantile paralysis, but its cause
has not been discovered in years
of research and every precaution
should be taken during the prevalence of the disease.
The number of cases in the state
is* decreasing, but all cases are apt
to prove serious, especially if neglected, If any symptoms appear,
the patient should have the immediate attention of a physician.
Headaohe is often one of the
early ad ncommon signs of polio.
Other common signs at the outset
are sore throat, a slight fever, constipation, nausea, fatigue and list-
lessness.
These are vague and indefinite
signs which can mean some other
illness coming on, or merely reflect some slight upset. However,
they are danger signals to be alert
for particularly in summer months.
Often a child complains of stiffness
of the neck or back, and this is a
more important sign that his illness may be the beginning of an-
attack of Infantile paralysis. Other
symptoms include pains in the
legs, arms and other muscles that
are tender to the touch and show
signs of rigidity.

Red Search
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has asked the public to help
find eight Communist leaders who
are fugitives from justice.
The wanted men have been missing, several weeks since they
jumped their bail this summer and
went into hiding while awaiting

agents.
The FBI is constantly alert for
action on tips by public-spirited
Americans and there is *hope that
some sharp-eyed citizen may help
to locate these conspirators.
Any persons having information
which may assist the FBI in the

Keep Down Death Toll
State Police Head Asks
Caution Urged
Over Labor Day
State Police Commissioner Donald S. Leonard Urges all Michigan
motorists to help bring the summer
season to a happy ending by exercising care and caution on the
highways over Labor Day.
"During the past five "years",
Leonard said, "the three summer
holiday periods of Memorial Day,
Fourth of July and Labor Day have
accounted for 332 Michigan traffic-
fatalities, of which 131 occured
over Labor Day week ends.
"The all time high for a Labor
Day week end was in 1940 with 46
death and the all time low was in
1944 when there were only seven.
"Labor Day wdek end traffic has
i
always been exceptionally heavy.
But this year it is expected to
reach a new peak- It is ..the only
four-day holiday week end of the
summer as both Memorial Day and
the Fourth fell on mid-week days.
"Thousands of persons wilt take
advantage of the-long holiday period to take vacation trips. Others
will be ^returning home from cottages and summer hames so children can enter school.
"All available State Police patrols will be out to hadle traffic, but
they alone cannot prevent unnecessary accidents. This is every
driver's   responsibility. _
"Courtesy, caution aihd common
sense will prevent accidents and
save lives. A moment of carelessness can mean- a tragic ending to
a happy beginning".
