time.
It is hoped by the county committee that those townships and organizations who have not got their
contributions in, will do so at once,
in order that when the last day of
the drive, November 5th, arrives,
our quota will have been reached,
Atty. Robert Campbell, Clare city
campaign chairman, repdrts about
75% of the city's quota raised, with
same solicitors not yet turning in
their receipts. It is expected the
city will have reached it's goal by

PIONEERS BEAT
GLADWIN ELEVEN
AT HQME-COMING
Pioneer Junior Varsity Beat
Litileflying G's There
Last Thursday
The Clare High School Pioneers
tangled with the Gladwin Flying
G's last Friday night on Clare's
athletic field. It was also the Homecoming.
Gladwin kicked off to Clare in
the first quarter and Clare lo*jt ;the.
ball because of a fumble. Then the
Flying G's scored, making tbe score
' .-0 Gladwin. But the Pioneers
weren't worried long, since Mike
Dwyer came back with a touchdown and Clare also converted,
thus the score was 7-7.
Following Mike's example, Ray
Lucy scored the second touchdown
for Clare, making the scOre 13-\7
Clare. Mike, with a game heart
ahd the excellent downfield blocking of A, J. Doherty and Irvin Ruby
went 75 yards to make the score
20-7 Clare.
At half time the spectators were
entertained by the Clare High
School Band under the direction of
Harold Collins.
*
During the second half it was a
hard fought game. Even though the
Flying G's played a strong defense,
the handling of the ball by Richard
Smith, Clare's quarterback, had
them buffaloed. Rich's deception of
ball handling and keen, quick thinking were all the Flying G's could
handle.
During the last minutes of the
game Rtch, with about 15 yards to
score, went across in two quarterback sneaks, making th- final score
Clare 26, Gladwin 7, thus making
the Home-coming, a big success.

-*$> Early in 1949, plans we're undertaken to replace the existing bridge
structure over the Muskegon River
on M-lil One half mile west of Temple. The old structure to be re.
placed consisted of one high truss
span 100 feet long, one low tv-uss
span 60 feet long and one I beam
approach span 50 feet long, It had
a roadway width of 13 feet and was
Oosted for a limited axle load well
below the legal limit. The old structure was primarily unequal to pt*e-
sent day truck loading, and besides that, had deteriorated so extensively from' cor-rosion. of the
structural members that it had b_-
come entirely inadequate for mod-
_rn day traffic.
Trunkline M-61. over a great part
•f its length* was also undergoing
much improvement of its alignment
and surface. This fact in itself dictated rebuilding the bridge over the
MUSkegoifRiver. •-*.  r
The new structure was completed with the exception of the1 approaches, August 1, 1951. The son-
tract was entirely complete October 2, 1951. Traffic started using
tbe new bridge early in August,
1951.
%he contvact cost of the new
structure ahd adjacent approafel-

'"Ehe farmer in Michigan today
is absolutely determined to prevent
further extension of Federal controls over his life", Auditor General John B. Martin, Jr„ told the.
Michigan State Grange at its annual   convention   at   Cadillac.
"He is convinced that a program
of federal subsidies would belaid
for in large part out of Ms own tax
dollar and he believes that when
he pays a dollar in taxes to Washington, be gets about thirty cents
back.
He knows too, that subsidies
must go hand in hand with rigid
controls and he has no desire or intention of submitting to these",
Martin said.
"I have talked with farmers in
all parts of the state and I am Impressed by the fact that not one'
has been looking for any kind of
government handout", Martin continued. "Most farmers regard the
price support program as a reasonable protection against the necessity of dumping products on an
overloaded market.
, They accept this program as one
which in the long run, if the support price is not so high as to encourage gross overproduction, will
be of benefit to the farmer and will
not be an unfair burden to the tax-
pay ers generally.
Most farmers in Michigan do hoi
accept or favor the Brannan Plan
in any of its variations".
"The recent uproar throughout
the state over the Family Farm
Policy Review is a clear indication
of the fact that farmers in Michigan do not want their lives run
from Washington" Martin declared.
"They are good cooperators, but
they don't want to be subjected to
federal dictation of any kind.
There has never been a keener
realization among farmers than
.there is today of the dangers involved in the 'Let Washington do

Me K. Brown's Ingenuity Regains Shooting Prowess
M. K. Brewn, of 110 E. State St.,
Clare, who has" been blind in his
right eye for twelve years, can now
.hoot with as great accuracy as
he, ever did. 'Before his partial
blindness, due to a ruptured blood
vessel in his eye, Mr. Brown was
an enthusiastic hunter and target
marksman. "He just can't seem to
miss", people who saw him shoot
would say. After losing his right
■ye he unsuccessfully tried to
shoot with his left one. But it was
so.aAvkwaid holding the gun**«and
.pulling the■„ trigger, hi*? aim was
very poor, so he gave up shooting
entirely.
Years later when looking through
some back issues' of Sports Afield
magazines, he found in the June
1850 isshe, an article by Jack Cor-
nelious, about a great trap shooter
who would not quit, eveh when
faced w'th partial blindness.
The story was about Horace Al-
dritt, of Excelsior, Minn.' After
losing his "shooting eye" he tried
Shooting from the left side and also
with the use of an off set stock,
but nothing seemed to help him.
Aldritt finally got an idea of his
own, he whittled out a wooden bar
and fastened the bar and srttpports
to the left s*'de Of his gun barrel.
This gave him a sight for his left
eye, while still letting him raise
the gun to hig right shoulder. Se

Upon reading this Mr, Brown,
who is 73 years old, took his 12
gauge double barreled shot gun to
Harold Loomis, local barber, who
■painstakingly attached a doW metal

this could also be adapted to a rifle.
