vieve Mattonen, of Lake, Mrs. Marriott Wykoff, of Lake George, Mrs.

just haven't got around to make
their contribution yet; it is not too
late, Whatever it may be, it will be
greatly appreciated by those who
are less fortunate than you.
.*_   Clare Over With no.t.%,.:   .
Robert H. Campbell, Clare city
chairman1 fOr the 1951 United Fund
Drive, announces that as of Wednesday evening the City of Clare,
had contributed 110.2% of its. goal.
That figure will be increased in the
near future, as all contributions
have not been received, so that by
next week it is expected that a final figure can be given.
Mr. Campbell wishes to thank
each and every contributor to the
United Fund whose whole-hearted
Support made this Annual United
Fund Drive such a success. He also
wishes to thank each and every solicitor both in the business area
and in the residential area for
their time spent on this drive, without which the Drive could not have
been concluded so successfully.
Marv Witbeck and Ruby Garfield,
who were chairmen of the Clare
business area and residential area
respectively, spent many hours
making 'ihis. drive a success and
really deserve much credit. They
did an exceptionally fine job and
one which w^ll be hard to beat in
the future. It was a job well done.
Needless to say, the people of
Clare can really be proud of .their
city in the way everyone worked
in malting 1951 United Fund Drive

Flying Farmers literally dropped'
from the sky Thursday pf last
week, to help fellow member Ernest Irwin build a new barn on his
Vernon township larm. This "man-:
na from the sky" help for a needy
friend is not common in these
times, since practically -all barn
rais.ng is done by contractors.
When Irwin, a charter member
and past president o_ the Michigan
Flying Farmers, lost his bam by"
fire last summer, word of it spread
rapidly among members around the
state-
Thursday, some 60 flying- farm*
ers swooped down on Irwin to help
with his barmraising and completed the job Friday.
It was the first time Michigan
Flying Farmers joined in a building bee for a member.
Four light airplanes landed .in a
hay field on the farm. Eleven other
pilots thought the field was too
soggy for their heavier planes and
landed at Clare Municipal Airport,
Several flying farmers from the
Clare area -drove their cars to the
Irwin farm, while others flew in
from Grand Rapids, Battle Creek,
Vermontville, Sandusky. Mt. Pleasant, Augusta, Litchfield and other
points,
Arnold Schaeffer, Jr.", of Sparta,
Flying Farmers president, drove
here in an automobile accompanied
by his wife, 1951 Michigan Flying
Farmer Qiteen. She climbed to the
roof of the bam and drove a few
nails.
Two farmers' wives accompanied
"then* husbands in their planes.. *•■
Irwin estimated that the "airborne forces" and his* neighbors
saved him about $2,000 during the
two days they were here. He pointed to a neighbors barn, built on the
same* scale as his without a bee
and said "that barn cost my neighbor $7,500, I figure mine, cost about
$5,500.
The fire loss. Including* feed,
farm tools, two cattle and, a pig,
was estimated at $12,500 arid- was
covered by only $1,600 insurance.
Flying farmers. Randy Russell,
of Battle Creek, and Laurenee Seiter of Clare, were credited for
thinking of the idea of holding the
bee.
Seiter who was barn-raising foreman, recalled that his father, David
Seiter, had, been foreman at a bee
which raised the first barn on the
farm 46 years ago.
At noon flying farmerettes served lunch to 48 crew members.
During the afternoon two of the
flying farmers did stunting over
the farm.
Some of the workers had to fly
horn© early to do their chores and
others stayed overnight at the Irwin farm, or at neighboring farms
and continued the work Friday.
Those who stayed overnight
were entertained in the evening
with colored slides of farm scenes
taken from the air.
The barn-raising, an inovatio.n at
least in thisi area, was given wide
publicity in Michigan newspapers.

OFFERED INSTRUCTION
IN THE SCHOOL BAND
Helps    Pupils    In    Selection
And Financing Of
Instruments
Clare High School's outstanding
Band is looking for recruits to begin instrumental instruction and
later take their places in the smartly uniformed group of mus.icians,
according to an announcement this
week from Harold Collins, band director.
A meeting on Wednesday everting, November 14 at 8:00 o'clock
in the Clare Public School band
room is scheduled for both pupils
and parents- to discuss musical
training with Mr. Collins, and see
a large display of all types of instruments.
In a statement to parents of
children in all Clare schools, Mr.
Collins offered the information
that recent musical aptitude tests
at the school indicate a very, high
average of music appreciation and
the tests demonstrate that most
pupils would learn instrumental
music with ease,
Now, because of the encouraging
test results, and the present peak
of band) activity and popularity,
Mr. Collins has arranged tlie conference meeting to encourage enlistment V thje musical group.
The problem of the purchase of
an Instrument has been simplified
by a plan offered through the Education Department of a reliable
music company. ■
During a three month trial period, the pupil learns whether he
can Wav the irtstruinent. If not,
the instrument may be returned
(there <s a nominal charge, but no
obligation to buy), or if purchased,
the charge for the trial applies on
the price. Easy payments are available for the balance.
Using serious thought of children's musical training. Mr. Collins
invites parents' attention to valuable lfSsons in group discipline,
cooperation with- others, the importance of music *-n a child's education, and tbe added variety and
richness to his life experience. - "*

Heavy Snowfall Requires
Winter Parking Restrmtion
Early -winter conditions make it necessary for City Police
to remind motorists of parking restrictions on the principle
streets of the city.
Parking is prohibited on US-27, US-10, and East and West
Fourth Street between the hours of 2-00 a. Tn. and 5.00 a. m.
to permit snow removal by City "and State Highway maintenance crews. -
These restrictions Will be rigidly enforced throughout the
winter months.
Cars left parked on the above mentioned streets between
these hours will be towed away and the towing cost charged
to the driver or owner of the car.
Attention is also called to the
parking restrictions at the post office which are necessary to permit
motorists access to tlie curb mail
box and to allow long wheelbase
Highway Post Office and Star
mail trucks to enter the post-office
driveway.
If motorists fail to cooperate with
the City Police in abiding by the
terms of the City Traffic Ordinance, stern action may be required.
Parents and children are warned
of the extremely hazardous practice
of children "hitching" onto the rear
of moving motor vehicles. Only recently a youngster had a finger
pulled Off when it became caught

ever present ris"k of a youngster
being* run over and killed.
