Of Tragedy
Lewis Cook, 54, of Farwell died
Instantly, and Herb Byers-of Clare
was injured Monday afternoon
when their cars collided at an intersection on county roads near
Woods Corners seven miles northwest of Rosebush.
The accident happened at 4; 30
in the afternoon.
Skid -narks on the road where
the cars approached the corner indicated that both drivers were
unaware of the other until too
late. The- intersection is partly
"blind" by reason of brush and tall
grass which obscures a clear view.
Byers, who was rushed to the
Clare General Hospital, was resting quite comfortably Thursday afternoon. He had suffered a severe
bump on the head and other bruises and minor injuries including a
broken small bone in his shoulder.
His family expected he might he
released by Saturday, (tomorrow),
if he continued to improve.
Cook was thrown clear of his
auto after the impact and* died ol!
neck injuries, according to the reported statement of Isabella county coroner.
The collision sent both cars skidding and spinning off the road and
through the ditch and fence into
a field.
A tragic fate made Mr. Cook's
mother the first to learn of her
sou's death. Byers, who was dazed,
but not unconscious after the
crush, walked to the nearest house
to report the accident, but found
no telephone. Continuing to a second and third house, he either
found no one at home, or else no
phone to report the accident.
At the fourth stop he described
what bad happened, and when he
told Cook's mother the description
of the other driver and the wrecked" car,' she said, "Ohl That must
be. my soni' _ *_ 1? „
Besides his mother, Cook is survived by his wife aud son, Wendell of Farwell.
Beloved Physician Answers Last Call
Dr, F. C- Sanford Passes
At Home Here Tuesday
Dr. F. C. Sanford, physician and
surgeon of this city and friend of
the thousands to whom he had administered more than 62 years,
passed away peacefully at 8:00
o'clock Tuesday evening, following

Plan Chest
X-Ray Survey
A three county chest X-ray survey has been scheduled for Clare,
Gladwin aud Arenac counties for
November 4 to November 14, according to Dr. Irwin C. Sweet, district health department director.
A Michigan Department o f
Health mobile X-ray uuit will lour
the area, offering tree chest checkups for all adults, including students 15 years of afe.3 and older.
Because tuberculosis is often
without symptoms in early stages,
the health unit director said an annual chest X-ray is recommended
for all adults.
With more and more tuberculosis deaths in Michigan centered a-
mong older adults, particularly
"men over 40" Dr. Sweet said a
special attempt will be made to persuade "parents and grandparents"
to take advantage of the free chest
X-ray opportunity.
Reports on all X-rays taken will
he sent hy mail, and all reports on
possible abnormal chest conditions
will be confidential to the individual and his family physician.
Dr. Sweet added that since the
Michigan Department of Health
unit uses miniature, small size
X-ray film, the chest pictures taken
will act only as a "screening" process. Any suspected abhormalties
will need to be confirmed or denied in further tests by family
physicians.

Beat Evart Crown Queen, Parade
Pep Rally, Dance, All Crowd Program
A mammoth bon-fire and pep rally on the Clare High
school athletic* field last evening, lit the fuse on the 1952
Home-coming week end. Activity during the celebration
will continue with a downtown parade, exciting football game with
Evart High, a Home'Coming reunion and dance for students, faculty and alumni, and the crowing
of a Home-coming Queen to rule
over the festivities until'quiet returns to the" school after Friday
night's finale dance,
McEwan street showed the first
stirring of the carnival spirit with
a few green and white decorations
appearing on lamp posts, store
windows display pictures of-candidates for Queen.
This afternoon's parade Is expected to attract a crowd to the
business section of Clare at 3:S0
when the band, cheerleaders, coach
Bill Seitz and team players, marching students, and many elaborate
floats will dazzle the spectator**.
Home-coming Queen and her attendants will ride one of the prominent- floats.
The Pioneers will be going after
their ninth straight victory when
they take the field under lights tonight.
Their opponents will be Evart's
Wildcats in a slight Underdog role
since their* unimpressive 13-6 win
over Farwell- -last.- week. But the
Evart boys threaten plenty of dan-
•ger just the same, since their record shows three wins in a row he-
fore the Farwell encounter. Their
victims include a strong Ithaca
eleven, which is a Class B team.
Seitz' Pioneers will have to solve
the problem of stopping the Wildcats two-pronged attack pf a hammering ground game and the scoring combination of McLachlan-to-
Connors forward passing.
Evart pigskin toters Grandy and
Head have been stabbing enemy
lines for long gains and first downs
against stout defenses, while . the
forward wall has an enviable defense of its own, similar to Clare's
strength.
The appearance of Evart at
Clare's Home'coming might turn
out to be the most exciting game
of the season, and a rigid test of
the Pioneers' high football standing in this part of the state.
Voting for Home-coming Queen,,
is sponsored by the student body
and downtown merchants, with the
crowning of the lucky girl Etc hedhl-
ed between the halves of the game.
The crowd will also see spectacular entertainment by Harold Collins' CHS band which will perform
at half time,
The Home-coming dance in the
school gym after the game is open
to students, faculty,. and alumili
with a good time promised for all'.

The collision sent both cars skidding and spinning off the road and through the ditch and fence into a field. A tragic fate made Mr. Cook's mother the first to learn of her sou's death. Byers, who was dazed, but not unconscious after the crush, walked to the nearest house to report the accident, but found no telephone.

Sweet, district health department director. A Michigan Department o f Health mobile X-ray uuit will lour the area, offering tree chest checkups for all adults, including students 15 years of afe.3 and older. Because tuberculosis is often without symptoms in early stages, the health unit director said an annual chest X-ray is recommended for all adults. With more and more tuberculosis deaths in Michigan centered a- mong older adults, particularly "men over 40" Dr. Sweet said a special attempt will be made to persuade "parents and grandparents" to take advantage of the free chest X-ray opportunity. Reports on all X-rays taken will he sent hy mail, and all reports on possible abnormal chest conditions will be confidential to the individual and his family physician. Dr. Sweet added that since the Michigan Department of Health unit uses miniature, small size X-ray film, the chest pictures taken will act only as a "screening" process.
