Unit Coming
Here Today
Dept. Of Health
Continues Battle
Against TB
The Michigan Department of
Health, mobile X-ray unit will visit
Clare this Friday 'afternoon, November 14, to offer free chest X-
ray service in its battle against
tuberculosis.
The unit will be at the Clare
city hall from 1:00 until 7:30 p.m.
and all people of 15 years of age
and oyer are urged to take advantage of this Opportunity for their
own protection and that of the
community.
Come as you are. It will take
but a few minutes and there will
be no undressing. Just remove any
metal objects, such as jewelry,
aud the men are requested to empty their shirt pockets.
Tuberculosis is just about as
common in Michigan today as it
was 25 years ago, even though the
death rate from the disease has
dropped sharply, the Michigan Department of Health reports.
According to Dr. John A. Cowan,
director of the state health department's tuberculosis control
program, the death rate from tuberculosis has dropped from 65.7
per 100,000 people in 1027 to 17.6
in 1951.
During the same period, however, the number of persons discovered td have the disease has remained consistently high, usually
fluctuating between 5,500 and 6,500
per year. In-4he-25-year period UmThosiUtal. Itxn lrjt_iiX.;t fyr neck and
One Killed
Four Injured
Mrs. Ruth D. Grames, 24,- of Pontiac, passed away in Clare General
Hospital Saturday morning from injuries suffered in a traffic accident at Loomis at 3:55 that morning.
A 1941 Oldsmobile coach driven
west on US-10 by her husband,
George Grames, .24, was involved
in a head on collision with a 1952
J Ford driven in the opposite direction by Leon Acker, 26, of R-l
Coleman.
The husband, George Grames,
was brought to Clare General Hospital in a esrious condition, suffering chest injuries, lacerations and
abrasions. He is "recovering very
nicely".
The Grames' two children were
also hospitalized, Bennetta, seven
months,' with multiple cuts and
bruises, and George, Jr., 2"y£ years
with multiple cuts and bruises and
possible chest injuries. They have
been released.
Leou Acker was brought to the
number of cases reported per year
climbed to a high of 7,103 in 1932
and dropped to a low of 4,642 in
1935, Last year 6,144 were reported.
One reason the number of tuberculosis cases remains high is because methods of finding the disease have been getting better, Dr.
Cowan says, but adds: "Tuberculosis is still widely spread mainly because of the carrier — the person
who has the disease and doesn't
know it."
Modern methods of finding tuberculosis have not been too sue
chest injuries,
'State Police from the ^It. Pleasant Post are investigating the accident. Both cars were badly damaged.
Minor Accidents
Neil Wilson, 18, of R-l Farwell,
was involved in an accident 1.7
miles west of Clare, on US-10, Friday afternoon. State Police said
that apparently a school bus, a
truck and a car driven east on the
highway by Robert Shoobridge, 32,
of R-l, McBain, stopped "and Wilson's car rammed into the rear of

Many of those found already have
the disease in a moderately or far
advanced stage and have been
spreading the infection for a number of years.
To stop the spread of tuberculosis, it is necessary to find more
cases in earlier stages. This requires even better methods of discovering the disease, and it means

Isabella County has been singled
out for honors by the Country Gen
tleman magazine, as, through the
efforts of the County Line Extension Club, that Curtiss publication
sends its associate Beauty Editor,
Miss Ruth Hogeland, here for a
"Beauty Jamboree".
The County- Line's very active
chairman of this division of the
club's wor_ Mrs. George Weihl,
contacted the magazine sometime
ago, with a request for help in selection of materials on good grooming for use at club meetings. Some
literature was received and Mrs.
Weihl promptly forgot the matter.
Recently she received 'a long distance call from the magazine's editor suggesting the "Jamboree".
The club decided to accept the
Country Gentleman's offer to send
the associate Beauty Editor here
to -conduct a three day beauty
course. Miss Hogeland was at the

Pioneers Run
Victory String
To 14 Games
Graham Snags
Pass For 102
Yard TD Run
In the football game played Friday afternoon, November 1, at
Houghton Lake, the Pioneers
stretched their streak of undefeated games to 14. The scbre was'f
Clare 32, Houghton Lake 0.. Incidentally this game was played in
three inches of snow. The highlight
of the game was a 102 yard touchdown run by Dick Graham.
Clare took the opening kickoff
but could not advance the ball and
kicked. Following the same fashion
Houghton Lake also punted to give
the Pioneers the ball and their
chance for touchdown number one.
It was climaxed with Dwyer going
through center for 10 yards and
the touchdown. The extra point
was no good.
Dwyer made his second touchdown of the day on a 70 yard gallop through center on the same
play as the first touchdown. Again
the Pioneers missed the extra
Point.
The Pioneers came out fighting
for the second half and promptly
scored their third touchdown with
Graham tuning up for his big
touchdown by going over from the
2 yard line.
Th fourth touchdown came with
Phil Van Every going over from
the one yard line on a keep play.
Clare, finally made an extra point
when Dwyer went through center
for the score.
Hotighton Lake made their only
offensive showing of the day by
pounding out yardage to the 15
yard line. At that point Graham
spotted an enemy aerial in his area.
Just as the big Houghton Lake end
was about to gather it in for a
touchdown, Graham leaped in front
of him, snared the ball and started
off on his 102 yard trot. Graham
was never more than six inches
from the sideline as he ou traced
the whole Houghton Lake team.
Bob Seiter scored the extra point
to conclude a cold afternoon of
football

Scott Court
TEeam Opens
Practice
Basketball bounced into the local spotlight last Thursday evening when the shrill tones of Coach
Ernie Bryant's whistle summoned
a squad of ten cagesters to the initial practice session of the Scott
Drillers.
In a two hour workout the hoop-
sters sharpened their eyes and held
a brief scrimmage. Scotts will travel to all corners of the state in
their forty game schedule.
Players answering the first call
were Ralph Brown and Jim Pavlik,
stars of last year's St. Louis state
championship team; Bob Darling,
Wes Gross and Bob Robbins, members of Harrison's 1950 aud 1951
District Champions; Dennis Benedict, second high scorer in Clare
history and Bob Gordynee, six foot
two inch center from New Baltimore.
Art Sills, who is booking the
games for Scotts, announced a tentative slate beginning December 1
that includes games with last j
year's championship .Saginaw, Mt.
Pleasant, Midland, Bay City, Flint,
Owosso and Pontiac quintets along
with other teams from these same
cities. The complete schedule will
be released when completed,

this century, but still belo\v what
game men say is necessaiy for
best herd aud range improvement.
Last year, about average
during the last 10 years, 369,-,
000 hunters took 104,000 bucks.
Herd health is poor in some
areas of the state, notably the
northern lower peninsula, where
overbrowsihg has killed much
range and lack of food has stunted
the animals. Fawn productinoon
rates .11114 checks of.JL.eer killed illegally and By/ autos during the
year show upper peninsula* deer
more healthy than those of the
northern lower peninsula and
southern lower pehinsuja deer
most healthy of all.
The special three-day "any
deer" portion at the end of the
northern lower peninsula season Was constructed to check
malnutrition in that area. Most
of the increase in hunter numbers and kill is expected in
that area during those three
days.
Weather factors again will play
an important role in the annual
drama; blizzards could cut seriously into" hunter success. Many
road crews, however, have pledged
special snow clearing efforts in
event of heavy storms during the
season.
License fees are the same as
last year; $3.50 for residents, $35
for nonresidents, $3.50 for camp
permits.

may buy .a firearms license aud

Ninth In Class B
Michigan Ratings
Clare's powerful high school
football team, already firmly
in possession of all-time stardom for Green and White
football squads, will be trying for several other new
records and for individual
player recognition when the
whistle starts the game
against Gladwin there tonight,
A scoring record which was established by last year's team ijs
expected to fall if the Pioneers
live up to their average for points
against their opponents. The 1951
gridders passed all previous score
totals iu their victorious season
last fall, and this year's high scoring team is within easy reach of
beating the 1951 mark for another,
all-time high,
If the Pioneers emerge as winners over Gladwin, their string of
unbroken victories will number
fifteen and set another record high
for Clare teams.
The Seitz coached team won
more outstanding recognition this
year than any other Green and
4 White team in the past. Starting
the season as a class B aggregation, the Clare powerhouse forged
its way to second in the Saginaw
News rating of high school teams
in the central Michigan area where
the big daily is circulated. Clare
was topped only by Bad Axe Tn
class B, which has scored more
points and won eight games to
Clare's seven.
And in statewide comparisons,
the Detroit Times sports editor
rates the Pioneers ninth in the
standing among •Michigan class B
high schools. This state rating
might even be improved if Clare
overwhelms Gladwin, and other
leaders fall to tough rivals in this
week-end's encounters.
(Head coach Bill Seitz called attention to the fact that mid-season
"drop outs" in student enrollment
at CHS have> brought down the
school population to a high class
C size. He estimates that if Clare
was rated a true class C team, it
might place as high as second in
the state. "Nobody is going to
argue with this  class  C Morenci
.fiutfit-. . itbJi's.stripg oi mev .jtMr,Ur.
wiufc*;' he said.)
Pans, players and" officials agree
that this year's team should produce at least one all-state star in
Mike Dwyer who is easily an outstanding fullback in the sport this
year. Dwyer's plunging and kicking have placed him in a class by
himself when seen in action
against other good backs, and he
is a tough, sure line backer on defense.
So" sure are the coaches and
team mates that Dwyer is all-state
calibre,, that they are asking fans
and everybody else to send postcard votes to the Detroit Tlnies
sports department naming Mike
to an all-state team position. Times
selections are made from popular
votes from Michigan high school
football fans. Voting is easy, all a
fan has to do is list a players name,
position and school on a post card
and send it to: George Maskiu,
Sports Dept., Detroit Times, Detroit 31.
Reviewing the season's high
spots. Seitz named the Evart
brawl as the roughest game of the
year, Cheboygan was another team
which bruised the Pioneer flesh
in hard play, but the Evart game
was a slugging, gouging ordeal.
Spectators agreed that Evart, in
the same manner as Purdue
against Michigan State, became
frantic when they felt the gams
slipping, and resorted to slugging*
punching and rough tactics.
Evart and Clare have suspended
football schedule matches with
each other as a result of the worsening relations which reached ,
the unpleasant climax in the October 24 game here.
"The fellows have played hard
heads-up ball all season," Seitz
said, "and nobody can take away
the glory of a winning record
against the toughest competition
we could schedule."
Pointing out that his team was
pretty evenly matched in all
games, Seitz said that Reed City,
St. Louis, Shepherd and Gladwin
are all just about the same size
high schools as Clare. Cheboygan
is larger, While Houghton Lake and
Evart may be just a little smaller*
The champion Pioneers Were picking no soft spots.
Feeling optomistic about tonight's clash with Gladwin, Seitz
said, "This will be another tough
game against a, good team all
steamed up to beat Clare. But my
boys can win if they play the kind
of ball they are capable of,"
