United Fund
Campaign
Announced
Solicitation
To Commence
October 29th
In a meeting: held September
25th nt the Citizens State Bank
plans were discussed and formulated for conducting the 1953 "United
Fund campaign.
Eavl Morgan, County chairman,
revealed that Atty. Robert Campbell had been chosen to act as
County Campaign Chairman; Atty
Theo. Pixley, Clare City Chairman;
,• Wm. Flowers, Chairman for Far-
»'* well; Genevieve Mattonen, tor Garfield Township and for Harrison,
L. Klaasse. Other campaign chairmen will be selected soon.
The following proposed budget
was accepted.
United Fund $1,840.00
Girt Scouts 200.00
Boy Scouts 1,650.00
Salvation Army 600.00
Aid to Dependent Children   250.00
Clare County Softball Assn.   150,00
County Goal       ?4,600.00
Attention is invited to the inclusion of the Clare County Soft Bali
Association in the current budget.
The sum alloted the Association is
dwarfed by the tremendous job to
bo done, especially for the youth of
Clare county, lt is this kind of ac-
, „T tivily which does so much toward
reducing and preventing juvenile
deliiitjuency.
The drive iu Clare county will
start October 29th. Plans are being
made to complete the drive in
about two weeks.
Distribution, of the county quota
has not yet been made. However,
this will be done as soon as possible and figures promptly published.
Most people of Clare county are
aware of the many agencies supported through contributions of the
United Fund (32 in all).
It Is realized too that without a
United Campaign in Clare county,
many agencies, such as USO, Heart
Sister Kenny, Salvation Army, Girl
and Boy Scouts, etc., would be
campaigning independently at great
expense in campaign costs aud solicitor time.
One of the services made possible through United Fund contributions brought facilities to Clare for
testing hearing October 14th. Thl3
service was made available to the
public free of charge.
We are asked to be especially
mindful at this time of those less
fortunate than ourselves. There are
epileptics who have difficulty getting jobs; children crippled with
cerebral palsy who need the services of therapists; young mothers
whose hands are twisted, bent and
stiff with arthritis; mothers burdened with, family problems; the
blind; the deaf; those hampered by
heart trouble and those stricken
with polio; to name only a few.
Your United Campaign solicitor
is their representative. When he
asks for your gift, please give generously.
Volunteer canvassers are urgently needed. If you can possibly help,
call Atty. Robert II. Campbell,
County Campaign Chairman (Ph.
10W), or Atty Theo. R. Pixley,
Clare City Chairman (Ph. 261).
Those outside Clare may contact
the campaign chairman in their
area.

Deaths
CHARLES   WHITLOCK
Charles Whitlock, for many

had been confined since last

The reapportionment of the state
legislature is the hottest issue on
the November ballot and outside of
the contest for state and national
offices, the proposed amendments
of the state constitution will draw
mare voters to the polls than any
other single  factor.
Of the three propositions of the
ballot, two will-be dealing with the
reapportionment problem.
The attempt by CIO bosses to
ram through their proposal No. 2
behind a front called "The Committee for Representative Government", has been termed simply
their bid to rule the Michigan Legislature as well as the Governor's
office.
'The Number 3 proposal is backed by organizations which also
have a committee name •— "The
Committee for A Balanced Legislature". But those actually sponsoring the No. 3 proposal are The
Farm Bureau, The State Medical
Society, the Retail Dealers Association, and a great many others.
' These organizations backing No.
3 proposal, together with a great
many members of the Legislature
assert that it will protect outstate
residents from domination by CIO
policy-makers in four of the most
heavily populated counties.
The amendments are complicated. Last minute scanning in the
voting booth is going to make un
derstanding more difficult. D. Hale
Brake, State Treasurer helps preelection preparation with the comment: "The Number 3 proposal
provides for a House upon a population basis, although x x x retains
the so-called "moiety clause" so
that if a county or combination of
counties had more than half of the
ratio that county or combination of
counties would still have a representative.
The ratio for House seats under
the Number 3 proposal is 1% (of
the population) according to the
latest Federal Census.
"If, therefore a county had more
than half of 63,000 it would have
a representative by itself; if not,
it would join with an adjacent
county and if the two of them had
more than half they would have a
representative; and you -would
keep adding counties until you
reached a figure above half of the
63,000."
Pioneers Win
From St. Louis
And Beaverto
St. Louis Only
Team To Score
On Pioneers
Clare High hammered out a convincing victory over her dangerous
rival, Beaverton, in Wednesday
night's tilt here while the Pioneer
defense *muffled the foe's passing
attack to turn in another perfect
game. The score was 33-0,
The Green and White stunning
olfense unveiled backfield versatility to divide running gains and
scoring honors among Graham
with two touchdowns, and Dwyer,
VanEvery and Rulapaugh with one
each.
Scoring in three of the four
quarters, the CHS powerhouse
"made the board change constantly
as they marked up 13 points in the
first quarter, 7 in the third,' and 13
in the final frame. All TD's were
made by carrying the hall over
from line play.
Seitz' team was thoroughly
scouted on last Friday while winning from St. Louis, but fears that
one of two outstanding men might
be "bottled up" by new defense
tactics proved to be unfounded
when many scoring combinations-
punched out the lop-sided win.
St, Louis Game
The Clare High School Pioneers
extended their record to" three
wins and no losses at the expense
of the St. Louis Crimson Tide last
Friday night, on the local field
The final score was 26-6.
Clare kicked off to St. Louis to
get the game under way. The powerful St. Louis machine started
grinding out yardage, but a fumble
gave the Pioneers the ball- on their
own 40 yard line. Clare was quick
to capitalize on the break and
marched-down the field for their
first of four touchdowns with Bader going off tackle the final five
yards for the score. The point after touchdown was not good.
In the second quarter Mike
Dwyer kept his record intact by
intercepting a St, Louis pass on
the 35 yard line and going all the
way for the score, Dwyer has now
intercepted a pass in each of the
first three games to either set up
a score or score himself, The extra
point was no good.
Clare took the ball to start the
second half and never relinquished
it until they had their third touchdown. Bader went around end for
22 yards for this score. Gruharo,
the Pioneei-B' steadiest extra point
maker, went for his fourth extra
point of the season.
Clare was finally scored upon for
the first time this year when Holcomb, the St. Louis end, ran
around end for the score. The extra
point was not good.
The Pioneers struck back with
their fourth touchdown with Phil
VanEvery going around end for 14
yards and a score. Dwyer went
over for the extra point.
Halftime entertainment by the
CHS Band told the story of deer
season sport for the hunter. The
musicians outlined a "Merry Oldsmobile" with spinning wheels,
while they played the tune of the

plans on staying in Clare for quite
awhile.
