cases of suspected tuberculosis
which otherwise might have gone
undetected,
Clare county ranked high with
23 chest abnormalties and nine suspected* cases of tuberculosis among
859 x-rayed at this year's county
fair. "
Where the small x-ray film indicated a chest abnormality, the individual was advised, by mail, to see
his physician for a complete examination and any needed treament.

main Michigan's* major weapons
against tuberculosis.
About half of the abnormalities

A highly efficient and productive industrial and agricultural e-
conomy is America's first line of
defense against both communism
and inflation, Herschel D. Newsom, Master of the Natibnal
Grange, said today in opening the
85th Annual Session of Grange delegates, from 37 states at Atlantic
City, New Jersey, November 4.
The Grange Master lashed out
sharply at regulation, regimentation and monopolistic practices,
whether in Industry or agriculture,
which curtail production. The pre*
servation of the-free world, he said,
must depend in a large part on
America's leadership toward a goal
of economic,-*-social and political
equity ahd justice,
Newsom proposed a three-point
approach to the problem of developing a farm program that would provide consumers with abundant supplies of foods and fibers, and at the
same time safeguard the ability of
farmers to continue high-level production.
He asked the delegates to work
toward development of a farm program designed to (1) more effec-;
tively serve the interests of the entire nation, (2) eliminate those economic protectees which unduly
raise the cost of production; and
(3) improve marketing practices to
obtain the maximum efficiency in
quality and distribution of farm
products.
Bearing down strongly on the
dangers of inflation, Newsom warned that, the nation is faced with a
continuing decline in the buying
power of the dollar, unless we have
the courage to meet inflation
honestly through private and governmental economy, taxes and voluntary savings.
He traced the origin of our 42
cent dollar by citing a 228% increase in the nations money supply
during the past eleven years, compared to an increase in goods and
services of less than* half this a-
mount, 97%. Efficiencies and other
factors held- the price rise to 127%
during this period, cutting the value of our money more than half.
He called upon Grange members
to rededicate themselves to the
Three Grange Guidposts conceived
hy the late Master Albert S. Goss:
(1) All prosperity springs from the
production of wealth, (2) the compensation ot each should be based
upon h's contribution to the general welfare, (3) the prime purpose
of government is to protect its citizens from aggression.
"As we face the challenge of
communism, we must not only protect, but expand our own freedom
within this nation. We must accept
our individual responsibility in this
mobilization program by producing
to the utmost, accepting the necessity for sacrifice, arid by expanding
the horizons of our capitalistic democracy.
"To the extent that we (even for
the seeming purpose of protecting
Americans from economic aggression) eliminates competition' among
ourselves, we will tend to lower efficiency, decrease gross production
and raise production and consumer
costs.
"Freedom was achieved by the
men and women who founded and
developed this nation. Just as it
was gained thrsugh struggle it may
be lost* through indifference", Newsom 'said.
District Deputy Jennings Archambault and other Grangers of t'hig
vicinity attended State,Grange in
Cadillac last week.

UF EXTENDS AID
TO CHILDREN OF
CLARE COUNTY
Contributions     Needed     To
Attain County-Wide
Campaign Goal
Of the 39 counties holding their
1952 United Fund Campaign this
month, Clare county is in ninth
place from the top of the list and
have not, as yet, reached their goal.
However, this is a good showing
and we still have hopes' that the
Clare County Unitd Fund Goal will
be reached as in the past.
Clare county now has $4381.00
contributed and there are still some
special gifts; and some townships
to be heard from. It is not too late
to contribute arid ws do need more
contributions if we are to reach our.
goal.
One of the many organizations
supported by the "United Fund Cam-'
paign is the Michigan Children's,
Aid Society, which is a state-wide
organization concerned .with the
•care of children who are ih need-;' ■
, Major causes jn referring children to the Society for care'include
-broken homes, unmarried parenthood, illness qf-parents, neglect and
special needs which make necessary
foster care of a child away frony
his own parents. ■ '   .  ,
The Society, has ten centers of
work throughout the state in, addition to the State Office at Detroit.
Among these are Marquette,
Traverse City, Lansing, St. Joseph,
Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor, Pontiac, and Flint.
The Society has been active in
Michigan since it was organized at
St. Joseph. It maintains a home
for girls at St. Joseph known as
Chapin Hall. Most of its work is
concerned with foster care of children, including placement of children for adoption. The State
Society is celebrating its Sixtieth
Anniversary ih 1951.
During Its years of activity in
Clare county the Society has accepted 21 children from the county
as wards for long time care. It
has accepted 27 children from the
county on a temporary basis providing boarding care to help meet
the emergencies of family life. It
has placed 11 children In the .county,
nine of these on adoptive basis.
During the twelve months ending
June 30, 1951, it made provision
foi* one adolescent girl at Chapin
Hall, an institution maintained to
care for girls with special needs.
It provided supervieion-for me child
from Clare county In a foster home-,
and it supervised two children in
their own homes. Two family inquiries were made and two foster
home inquiries completed. The net
cost of these activities, which included provision for a girl at Chapin
Hall, was $798.24.
Calls from Clare county are given
consideration through a field representative of the Society who is
responsible for references from a
number of counties in central Michigan.
The Society is incorporated as
a non-profit corporation. It is
licensed by the State Social Welfare* Department of Michgan as an
agency authorized 'to receive, care
for and place children. It is a charter member of the Child Welfare
League 'of America, a national
agency whose purpose is tl help
improve the care of children
throughout the United States.

WHY FARMERS
POST AGAINST
ALL HUNTING
The vast majority of farm folks
are friendly and would not object
to people hunting on their property, but a few malicious and careless hunters have made necessary
the-HOrton Trespass Act and posting of, lands to protect the farmers'
livestock, buildings, fences and in
some .cases the lives of their families.
For example, a hunter recently
shot a boar pig belonging to Clarence Tucker, in the front yard of
his home. Several pellets went
through the boar's back and it suffered the loss of much blood..
It is to be regreted that a few
"ornery1" hunters have brought
about this condition, but as long
as it exists, the farmer cannot be
blamed for posting.
The problem has been largely
solved in various- localities by the
adoption of the Burlingame plan,
where farmers band together, post
large areas arid admit hunters who
request the privilege of hunting at
'he farmer's homes,
Hunters admitted to the property are furnished .with identification
tags, leave their* cars in the farmyard and report to the farmer when
they are through hunting!

Dick Ulrich's Oration Wins
In Dist. Democracy Contest
Richard Ulrich, 17 year old Clare
High School Senior, won top honors as a contestant in the "I Speak
for Denfocracy'" district contest at'
Mt Pleasant, Sunday afternoon,     |
In his second participation in the .
contest, he competed with repre- j
sentatives    from    seven    other
schools in this area, to win the district championship.
He founded his address on the
contention that America's youth is
willing to do its part in strengthen-■*"
ing   democracy    but   that    adult i
leadership is both indifferent and >
inactive  in  government participation. He charged that "problems of
democracy are your  (the adults)
problems   born   of   your   blunder-
ihgs."
In his sharp indictment of the
older generation's complacency, Ulrich said, "Good government begins in your community. Your responsibility to the community
from which you take your living
is as important as your responsibility to the armed services."
Dick, the son ot Mr. and Mrs,
Arthur Ulrich, of east Fifth St.,
will compete through the recorded
record with other district winners
for the State title.
He received honorable mention
in the contest last year. James
Whalen, of Shepherd, and Nahcee
Kerin, of Sacred Heart. Mt. Pleasant, received - honorable mention
this year.
Dick was presented with a
$50.00 Defense Bond, table radio,
and gold loving cup. Each contestant also was presented with a
special pin and certificate.
The contest is sponsored by the
Mt. Pleasant Junior Chamber of
Commerce as part of a national
program. "Operation Survival," to
stir new interest and meaning in
democracy as contrasted to the
"isms" of the world. The national
winner will- be awarded a $500
Scholarship, a television set, and a
trip to Washington, D.C.
Dr, W. J, Frazee, both district
and state chairman of the democracy contest, -congratulated the
Winner ■'" and. praised all tha c<«W
•testantsfor their."outstanding efforts ahd contributions."'*'
Judges were Spencer Denison
and Miss Leitha Perkins, of Midland, and Harold Wisner, of Ferris
Institute, Big Rapids.
