Clare Public school, and an ar
i-angenient to make an extra .class
foom available have cased the
overcrowded situation which was
an opening-week problem here,
Mrs, Clyde Marshall, of Clare, is
the new teacher of a combination
class of fifth, and sixth graders
which was organized yesterday to
relieve the crowded classrooms.
Mrs, Greta Masten is a full time
member of the teaching staff again
this year in kindergarten work.
Other steps to make room available for classes, included removing
the vocal music instruction to the
present band and instrumental
music room in the new east addition. The. room vacated was put to
use by the combination class pf
fifth and sixth graders.
The pinch for space and teachers which has been felt in the
school hero, is complained of m
more or less degree, by achopls -all
over the country, -Many schools
are forced to hold classes In hull-
ways, temporary additions, and
other makesift accomodations.
At the, present time, Mr. Campbell says, there are no seriously
crowded classrooms in this school
plant in spite of an enrollment increase of about one hundred.
However, the school is being
used to utmost capacity every hour,"
of tho day and trouble is "just
around the corner", if enrollment
should increase, oveu slightly.
The. kindergarten is at a peak
registration of seventy-eight little
boys and girls, and at the start 6?

grades were uncomfortably over-
populated. Twelve pupils from the
fifth grade, sixteen from, the sixth,

Boy Scouts To
Solicit Vote
■ Tlje Boy Scouts of America will
.climax its nationwide "Get Out The
Vote" campaign on Saturday, Nov.
1 when most of its two million
members call on 30iOQO,000 homes
throughout the "United States and
leave on front-doorknobs a Liberty
Bell qutout urging all citizens to
vote, ■
The' campaign is non-partisan,
without reference to any candidate
or party. It is sponsored jointly
with the Freedoms Foundation.
The'message on the Liberty Bell
qutout reads;
"Vote as you think, Think when
you vote, Tuesday, Nov. 4. Today's
youth counts on you. Use your freedom to vote".
The Boy Scouts of America,
says Dr. Arthur A. Schuck, Chief
Scout Executive recognizes the
need to "reselling" America to its
citizens by .urging every eligible
person to exercise his right to vote
in the national election.
Dr. Schuck pointed out that only
fifty per cent of eligible citizens
yoted in 1948.
"This.year there will be about
ST.OOOjOOO eligible voters", he said,
"Our objective is to increase the
voting percentage. We feel that
America will be. strengthened by
our efforts in doing, this service
which we arc equipped to do. Over
2,000,000 boys will learn a great
Ipsspn of participating citizenship
as they perform a significant service to our country".
"We have accepted this challenge" said the Chief Scout Executive, " and are putting forth a tremendous effort to get' thousands
more citizens to cast their ballots
and thus become participating citizens in these United Sattes".
The' first phase of the Scouts'
"Get Out the Vote" Campaign began last Spring when Boy Scouts in
many parts of the nation started to
place attractive four color posters
on public display. This activity took
place just before registration time
in each locality.
The poster shows a Cub Scout,
Boy Scout and Explorer enthusiastically calling, "Hey, register and
vote" while the two older boys
punctuate this appeal by ringing
bells.
Boy Scouts of the Valley Trails
Council, which administers the
Scouting programs in Saginaw,
Gratiot, Isabella, Clare and Tuscola
counties, have displayed a total d*f
1500 posters, it was announced by
Theo Walington, district chairman
of Clare County.
,::'Mr, Walllngton said he expect?
about 100 Cub Scouts** Boy Schuts
and Exporors will be on the job
bright and early Saturday, November 1 to hang the Liberty Bell cutout on the doorknobs of homes in
.this area.
In many communities Boy Scouts
will ask householders to turn on
their porch lights on Monday evening, November 3, to indicate" their
intention to vote. Scout leaders believe that organized boyhood cau
exert a strong influence among parents, .relatives and neighbors in doing, their share in rolling up a record vote this year.
Mr. Walllngton said that while
the campaign hopes to stimulate
adults to meet their responsibill-
ics of good citizenship by voting
the Scouts- themselves Will also
get a lesson In their duty to vote
when they come of age.
