City's Sewer Plan
Seems Due For Compromise
hear
Open Wide The
Gates For Grid
Game Tonight
Extra convenience for CHS football fans will be noticed tonight
■when the Green and White makes
its grid debut before home town
fans. The school plans to open the
large double gates into the athletic field to quicken the pace of
incoming and game's-end crowds.
At home games up till now, the
fans filed into the field through
a small gate in the west corner
of the fenced area, and departed
the same way,
The largo gates are located directly in th6*~rear of the scliool
building and are large enough to
accomodate autos so that fans may
drive their cars into the athletic
field for parking.
Parking places closest to the
playing field will be reserved for
autos carrying elderly persons or
invalids.
The Clare city commission's Monday evening meeting drew plenty
of spectators and  interested   citizens to   the city  hall after  Mayor
Everts and commission   members announced   that they would
free-for-all opinion on two pend-"*^"
ing matters; the proposed sanitary
sewer line from north McEwan
street across to the sewage disposal plant, and the proposed city
fee for garbage collection service.
Owners of property in the path
of the new sewer line, v lead by
three or four principal land holders were present to argue against
the development.
Home owners from John R.
street and the city's northwest
subdivision hoped for a solution to
their problem of sewer hookup
With the McEwan line which must
be extended southeastward to the
disposal plant.
L. L, Woodward, Bill and Al Hol-
, brook, Mr, and Mrs. Walter Eroh,
whose land is crossed In the proposed project, raised the objection
that the sewer would almost certainly lower some property values,
or make certain building sites valueless altogether where the line
underlies possible building locations.
(The plan calls for a main sewer
line starting at North McEwan
street at the north line of Woodward's property, and then in a
thirty degree angle, southeast
across land belonging to Woodward, the Clare Public school, Holbrook, and Eroh.)
The problem confronting the
commission, is, How to construct
the new sewer, taking advantage of
natural land elevations so as to
remain within the limits of the
budget allowed for this particular
project?
City engineer Cleo Brink and
Mayor Howard Everts carried the
burden of debate for the commission. They explained that it is a
difficult matter to lay out the sewer line across the area in question,
maintaining the degree of "fall"
required to move sewage without
sharp angles in the line, and without lifts or pumping stations.
Mr. Wendrow, of Mt. Pleasant,
lesal counselor representing' Woodward inquired whether the city
would consider abandonment of
Ihe entire project if cost prohibited tho relocation of the sewer line
to save the value of the crossed
property, or if purchase of right-of-
way boosted the cost of the project to'o much?
There was no direct answer to
his question, but the opposing parties did not seem too hopelessly
deadlocked after an offer by Mayor
Everts to investigate the possibility of relocating the sewer to follow streets or lot hogadrlva
through the subdivisions.'  > •*" r
Both Bill andAI Holbrook and
others in turn offered to furnish
assistance to the city engineer in
laying out street locations, and
submit plats of proposed subdivisions so possible new routes for
the sewer could be determined.
The commission put off action
on the. proposal lo charge an annual fee for garbage service.

It's here the race of men go by—
They aro good, they are bad,

Let me live in my house by the
side of the road
And be a friend to man.

Pioneers Trim
Reeds Friday
The Pioneer varsity football
team traveled to Reed City last
Friday to defeat-the Heed. City Coyotes 29-0. There has always been a
traditional rivalry between these
two schools and Friday night's
game was no exception to the rule.
Reed City kicked off to Clare and
the ball was brought back to
Clare's 27 yard line. The Pioneers
■ started a drive that almost resulted, in a touchdown, but a holding
penalty stopped their chance for
any quarter score. The ball change'd
hands three times during! the remaining minutes of the quarter.
In. the second quarter Mike
Dwyer broke through center for 40
yards and a touchdown. Dick Graham went off tackle for the extra
point, Reed City could do nothing
with the ball and had to kick,
•Clare slowly but deliberately
brought the ball down to the two
yard line and Philip VanEvery, the.
Pioneer quarterback, dove oyer for
touchdown number two. Graham
again added the extra point..Theref
was no further scoring in the first
half.
Clare kicked off to Reed City
and it looked as If the Coyotes were
going to score. But on the ten yard
line Dwyer intercepted a pass and
ran it back 81 yards. After a touch-,
down was nullified by another hold-)
ng penalty, Jim Bader went oft
tackle for a 22 yard touchdown
run. Bader also ran the extra point.
In the last "quarter of play Van
Every ran around end aud for 24
yards and a touchdown. The Pioneers failed to convert ihe extra
point for the first time this season. The only other score came
when Nylo Haggart, the big Clare
tackle, blocked a punt for a safety.
Tonight the Pioneers play the St.
Louis Crimson for the first homo
game of the season. It is rated the
game of the night iu this area. The
Pioneers are rated second in Class
B in the area and St. Louis second
in Class C. This should be a real
game to give local fans their first
glimpse of a winning team on the
Clare athletic field.

A couple ol mighty proud and happy young fellows, —

enthusiastic workers and planners in -FFA activities. They
have projects being carried out under the guidance and encouragement of, their folks at home and Mr, Floyd Norcutt,
agriculture instructor at CHS and faculty supervisor of the
FFA program.
We'took an interested look at their several projects and
were very happy for the excuse to- get better acquainted
with the boys themselves and their folks. Now we'll try and
show what FFA accomplishes and -stands for, and what
these two members are doing to rate prominance in their
club and their vocation.

The practical advantage of FFA
membership is that the organization seeks to prepare boys for actual establishment in a farming
program. Now, that's saying a
whole lot in a few words but it's
really true that the club teaches
good farming and shows the boys
how hard work and sound judgement pay off in their chosen vocation.
We rural community people-
should realize that FFA goes a
long Way toward answering the
question in the old song, "How '**-_
Going to Keep Them Down On The-
Farm?" It helps fight the temptation to pursue the false glamor of
the "city life" by putting surer
profit and success in the farm life.
Bath the White and Miller families are Grange minded. The Mt.
Vernon Grange in Isabella county
claims Mr. and Mrs, White in its
membership, and Mr. and Mrs. Miller belong to Riverside Grange in
Clare County. The Whites also belong to the Farm Bureau.
Mr. Norcutt was warm in his
praise and admiration for the co-
ope ration and encouragement
which the two fathers give to Jake
and Dean. Both boys do a man's
work with stock, tools and machinery on the land.
As an example of the cooperation from home, we learned of
Harold White's help for the FFA
club at the time of their last Livestock Show, following the 1951
Dairy Day in,Clare. Harold took
time to leave his work and assist
the boys set up their tent and exhibits, and helped again when the
show was over." <
The club itself has a general
project of apple and cider production and sales from the orchard, on
Judge Donald E. Holbrook's farm
north of the city. Spraying attd
care of the orchard including
pruning and grafting take place
in working "bees" under the &i-
recetion of Norcutt.
Orchard profits Will help to finance part of the expenses of the
convention trip for Jake and Dean.
They are reaching into their purses for the balance of the jgreen ,
stuff,  unless they get some help.
The boys Will leave Michigan!
Monday on a special train to Kansas City, and will stay at the Pick-
worth Hdtel While attending the
sessions.
