Tops Theisr Goal
During the first four days of the
United Fund campaign $2,593, or
54% of the 1D51 quota, was raised
in Clare county, according to
County Campaign Chairman William Hibbard, of Harrison.
Clare Mfg. Exceeds Goal
The Clare Manufacturing Employee's Committee voted to have
one solicitation among the employees each year, the solicitation
to include, the United Fund, Eed
Cross, Polio, Cancer, VFW and
American Legion. The goal was set
at §1600 and to date solicitors have
received contributions amounting
to $1601.
The drive started Friday, October 19, after a meeting of the
committee and an announcement
over the plant loud speaker system, explaining in detail what* the
drive inclined.
The employees felt, that by
knowing the facts and the good
derived from each dollar contributed, they were only too willing to
give and give enough, This kind of
cooperation and generosity is certainly a symbol of real American
spirit coming from our home town.
Indications Good In City
Robert H. Campbell, United
Fund Campaign Chairman for the
City of Clare, announces that the
official opening of the United
Fund Drive began) last Monday,
October 22nd, with a kick-off
breakfast at the Hotel Doherty.
Mrs. Ruby Garfield, chairman of
solicitation in the residential area
was present with fourteen of her
appointed solicitors. It was one
of the best attended United Fund
kick-off breakfasts which was
ever held here.
The solicitors for the residential
area who have graciously accepted this responsibility began the
United Fund solicitation immediately and will continue until the
close of thfi annual United Fund
Drive on November 5th. From reports to date it looks as if the
drive will be very successful and
that the goal of $2,370 will be
reached. o
United Fund solicitations in the
business district began last Thursday morninc and it is reported that
thee solicitors were very well received. To date there has been a
little over $900 contributed by the
businesses in the city.
The response that has heen
made this year toward the United
Fund Drive is very hearty and it
is hoped by many that some time
in the very near future Clare
county will be able to hold one
drive once a year for all charitable
organizations. The cooperation of
the community in receiving the solicitors, so kindly is highly appreciated.

Do Not Delay
Mailing Holiday
Gifts Overseas
To make certain that Christmas
packages to servicemen stationed
overseas arrive by December 25,
the USO and the post office urge
that packages be mailed between
October 15 and (November 15. November 1 is the deadline
for packages to be sent to Japan, Korea and the Pacific Islands.
Mail, and particularly Christmas
gifts, are of vital importance to the
morale of servicemen. For this reason USO clubs are busy with their
Christmas mailing services, helping
GI's get packages off to their buddies overseas. Funds to support
these USO clubs, which are so important to servicemen, are raised in
Michigan in United campaigns now
in progress in most counties.
Relatives -and friends, of men stationed overseas who are planning
to send holiday packages should
make every effort to do their shopping and mailing early. The little
extra effort now will mean so very
much to tlieir overseas friends.
Remember to get your packages
in the mail before November 15.
And for those packages that go to
Japan, Korea and the Pacific Islands, remember that your deadline is November 1.

when Kate Vandewarker ruled as
queen over the festivities. That
year five floats were displayed in
the parade. This year Clare High
School will present the largest ever
planned and produced in this community. The mammoth processional will be highlighted by the many
and varied floats sponsored by
clubs and ' classes, the special
coaches car, the fine -Clare High
School marching band apd the victory special, the streamlined team
float. Ruling over the parade will
be her royal highness, the Queen
of the Home-coming and her illustrious cohort, the king, riding on
the royally bedecked regal carriage.

memories—thoughts of past occasions on these grounds where now
the hustle and bustle are all surrounding. Past dates, such as in
1938 when the present athletic field
was dedicated by Principal Austin
Bates.

trip leaving the house very much
out of repair. Not long after this, a
jdlly little man arrives announcing
tha the is Jim Dudley's uncle. He
is very generous with his money,
which is all in five dollar bills. During a sudden hard shower the roof
begins to leak so Uncle Dudley has
workmen come in to put on a new
one. They take off the old roof and
are beginning to put on the new
one when it is discovered that the
uncle isn't their uncle at;all. Theyi
find another James Dudley in the'
directory so he leaves immediately.
No roof, the house is a mess, and
no mbney! "Who is this e-Id man?
What is his racket? Is he crazy? Is
he a counterfeiter? Things look
pretty dark but the unexpected happens. Don't miss the climax and,
find out why "Now:; Everybody's
Crazy." |
City Police solved a number of
breaking and enterings and "nipped" an apparent juvenile crime
wave here when they picked up
two eleven year old Clare boys the
fore part of the week.
One lad admitted breaking into
the Brewer Implement Store, September 13 and taking $40, which
he hid' in a gutter on the roof of
the building and which was recovered by officers. He also confessed that he broke into the Giant
Super Market and took $1.12 during the daylight ljours of Sunday
morning.and also broke into Feller's Cut Rate Store and took 85c
the same morning.
The other youngster admitted
that he stole .a bicycle Saturday
evening and that he entered the
Byers home Sunday morning, but
did not take anything. The bicycle
was recovered.
The two youngsters confessed
that they had ransacked two cars
recently, broke into the Seiter
Lumber Yards October 11, where
nothing was found missing, and
entered the Kathryn Dunlop home
recently and took a can of frozen
peas, box of crackers, can opener,
frying pan and forks and spoons.
One of the pair toru police that he
slept in an alley two night.
They denied other breaking and
enterings here. One of the lads,
who has been in trouble with the
police before, has always been
trtitfifful when caught.,
, One of the boys was taken by
City Police and the other by State
Police to the Detention Home at
Mt. Pleasant." A date for their hearing before Probate Judge George
Bates has been set.
Ideas foi' economy in government, and a whole lot less bureaucratic control from Washington
makes sense to Clare county farmers as indicated by a voting cross
section of the population at a
meetmg in the Harrison court
house Monday evening this week.
And they're ready to bring these
ideas' to action.  •
The U.S. Department of Agriculture will be notified that Clare
county farm operators voted in
this mass meeting, to endorse the
Hoover ^Commission's recomenda-:
tions for the reassignment of dut>
ies of twelve farm control agencies.
Those who know farm problems
declare that the dozen tax-supported, Washington-directed' bureaus
overlap each other in duties and
authority.
Farm folks and the small town
citizens in Clare county believe
they have the answer to this USDA
administration confusion and
waste!
Clare county soil and water conservation and other related problems in this area can be directed
by a County Farm Council of local
citizens. This idea goes the Hoover Commission "one better" while
retaing the best points for simplicity and economy and independence.
The resolution favoring such a
local farm council was passed at
Monday's meeting with no vote
against it.
Clare county thus might have the
honor of being the very first to
*ake such a step in freeing itself
from the red tape and expensive
confusion of USDA control from
Washington.
Signs of nation wide revolt
against the- Agriculture Departments farm policies were vividly
evident in a recent series of "review" meetings all over the country- In Harrison, farmers of Clare

most interesting story of Guatemala, tp the Clare High School auditorium at 8:15 o'clock next Thursday evening, as the second number

uncovering and restoration of the
Mam-Mayan ruins, archeologists at
work, blanket making at Momosten-
ango, Indians performing tlieir pagan rites, colorful marketing scenes
"—everything of interest in this
beautiful country, which is attracting thousands of tourists each year.
Mr. Elliott stems from a long
line of explorers, and is a most interesting speaker. .

istraiion without subsidies, dictatorship, and bureaucracy.
Chairman of Monday's meeting,
Robert Carter, said the purpose of
the Clare County Farm Council
would be tq form a "soil, water,
and game conservation plan for
Clare county''. He emphasized that
the council could concentrate on.
problemst peculiar to local conditions,
Ben Bosink, soil conservation
farm planner for Clare county outlined the needs of landowners in.
this county, and stated that the
problem of expense in the proposed
program was overrated. Spreading
the cost of seeding, tiling and
strip cropping over several years,
he said, could save a larger original outlay of cash, and the good results would be apparent accordingly.
Some other problems which it
was thought could be tackled by.
a local council, included minor
marketing and crop control regulations.
Bosink showed an overlay map
of the county outlining nearly 114
thousand acres of "fair" farm
lands which are under no soil conservation program at present. He
said that surveys show 7,680 acres
of "sub-marginal" land, and 52
thousand acres which need contour farming. He is ready with assistance for those who ask for
planning in best use of their farms.
Continuing the effort to organize the Clare County Farm Council
another meeting will be called in
the near future, according^ to
Robert Carter. The farmers' group
welcomes participation by conser-
vatfn and sportsmen clubs, and request cooperation of church leaders, businessmen, service clubs,
and others.

AND COUNTY BOARD
President  Robert   M.  Carter
Suggests Improvements
In Rural Schools
The rural school teachers, together with the County School
Board, were dinner guests of the
Lake teachers and School Board
October 17 at 7:00 P.M.
An enjoyable time was had and
many questions of educational value were brought up as food for
thought. Robert Carter, president
of the County Board of Education*
gave an interesting talk suggesting
changes which should be put into
practice in the near future. Vice-
President Leonard Jackson gave a
very interesting account of tThe
younger generation, together with
the problems they fate. Ullman
Collins also suggested changes
which would be very helpful to the
schools.
The chairman of the meeting,
Mrs. J. Thomas, kept the ball rolling and was instrumental in getting the teachers warmed up to
problems pertaining to ' their
schools.
John F. Brown, superintendent
of schools, summed up the salient
points so that tliere would be no
mistake in the future.
Take it all in all it was a very
profitable meeting for all concerned.
H. Loker, of the Garfield School
Board, contributed the chickens
for the dinner which was served
by the members of the eighth grad&
class of the Garfield Township
School. Believe it or not, Garfieid
knows how to entertain.
The teachers attending were
pleased with the new school building and all heartily wish they had'
as good a building in their own
district. This could become a reality if they would put their shoulders
to the wheel and push to the bitter
end.
