See Dover. Champs
Repeating*  Maybe
Who will wear the champion's
crown come next August in- Clare
County Softball League play? That
question can only be. answered iby
time but a little preseason crystal
ball gazing seems to be in order.
Dover, last season's champion,
will have most of their veterans
.back, including their ace hurler
and the league's most outstanding,
pitcher Burke Rilett. Never powers at the plate they depend on an
air-tiglit defensive game to carry
them to victory.
And 'that-is oiften' as they wofa
seventy-five per cent of their tilts
last season. Mel Leuder, the
league's leading hitter with a lofty
.417 average is not returning to
the Dover club but will add his talent (he also, is an effective burler)
to another league team.
'Thi.^ets who have been backed
by various -firms in the past have
not indicated whether they would
enter a team this season nov who
would . be their sponsors, Scott
Drilling backed them last season.
-Cradit, their leading batsman
with a .375 average- has indicated
be will retire from active play.
With Farwell indicating they will
field two teams this season it
leaves fans wondering bow they
will divide up their players with
■such standouts as Eph and Ray
Marshall who carried ".385 and .318
averages respectively, Joe Willey,
the third ranking hitter in the
league with a .386 mark and ■brother Freeman, who compiled a .321
average.
'Clare Mfg., always a contender
Ibut never a champion Since their
tfirst entry in 1946 has a few gaps
to fill in their line-up including
tbat of their regular catcher Hollis Haggart who hit at a .405 clip
to ann&x the seiconid place in the
batting derby.
Dan McDonald's who were undisputed cellar occupants in 1952
(Shades of the Tigers) with a two
won, fourteen lost record will have
■to face, a draft-riddled line-up and
'a d-mo-raliged spirit common to
the basfement dub f oy two consecutive years. Their leading-batsman
'Bill Musolf who bit .3-78 will return to the Ford&men line-Up,
An increase in the five team
league-is expected this season tH-fc
may swell the total to eight or
nine. The Class D League for
youths under 17 also expeicts an
increase over last season's eight
team circuit. The league bas attracted tbe attention of the businessmen and tbey have pledged full
support to the recreaional program.
Meanwhile plans for the season,
opener roll on witb activity stepped
up in league headquarters. For the
June 1 arc-light opener the fans
will receive an unprecedented treat
in th softball league history. A
complete floor show' and all the
trimmings will headline tne inaugural tilt.
•League publicity director Art
l-dllS has indicated be has enlisted
the aid of some of the finest young
players in the vicinity for -a Class
C team. So far all Art lacks is a
sponsor willing to back a team
that is no worse than second or
third (or so Art claims).

Race Relations
Study By Roger
Brinkerhoff
Roger Brinkerhoff has just returned fro m an unusual trip
through the deep South. He left
Clare on Friday, April 24 and returned on Sunday, May 3, having
visited Louisville, Kentucky," Nashville and Memphis," Tennessee,
Jackson, Mississippi, the Delmo
Project in Missouri, and Hunting-
irigton, Indiana.
Under the auspices pf the Michigan Conference of. Congregational Christian Cliurches the trip' was
composed of- twelve high school
students and three adult leaders,
studying race relations first hand.
Roger is the first'1' youth from
this part -of the state to go along
on the Southern .Tour which is now
in its fourth* year.    '
He reports that they 4 drove
through a flash flood in Mississippi
of such an extent that there were
one hundred * drowned cattle in a
field, In Missouri the travelers experienced the tail end of a tornado. Other thin these experiences
the tour was judged a success with
several college campuses observed
and many rewarding contacts with
colored Christians.
Roger talked with negro students and professional people,
learning their viewpoint and giving
his as a northerner. He reports
that everyone he talked to is highly interested In tlie decisions pertaining to segregation' in the
schools which are now before,the
United States" Supreme CoUl't
What' the Negro wants is simply
equal fights and' he feels Ms an
American citizen he is deserving
of this.
Roger is available to talk about
his trip ,to any group.

Stamp Out Bangs and T. B.
Is Aim In State Program
A quarter of a century ago Mich- (
igan was the (first state in the nation to declare cattle free of Tuberculosis due to the constructive
testing program that was started
some years earlier, according to
Dr. Lee Davisson, State Veterinarian, Michigan Department af Agriculture. .
During the past 15 years, a similar statenvidet^cattle testing pro-r
gram?for; Bang's.,Dises-re ..£ont£~-
Has been" underway. Before long it
■is hoped 'that the two million head
of cattle in. the state may be Bangs
free. |
The latest move in Bang's disease control work in cattle was
started in Michigan about 18
months ago when the Abortus
Ring (ABR), or what is now commonly called the milk ring test,
was intr&duced into .the state to
aid in the blood testing program
already in use. |
Dr. R. L. Alkire, .Brucellosis
Field Supervisor of the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry and the
Michigan Department of-Agriculture*, cooperating, state that the
AJEJR test is a herd test-and that a
blood test.mus. be conducted upon
the reacting herds in order that individual reacting animals may be
identified. Its advantages are that
an area may be rapidly screended at
regular intervals and newly infected herds located before the infection becomes' widely spread.
One phase of the Bangs testing
program during the past year has
included the use of a laboratory
trailer in the twenty-seven counties
under the test and slaughter area
plan in the non-hern portion of
Michigan's lower peninsula. In
February, 19 53, th& initial test of
herds Avas completed through the
collection" of milk a_jd cream samples at dairy plants. Included as
part of the project was the follow-
up blood, testing, of Jill milk reaot-
-fig- herds.*_J&e-tJ»ner; laboratory,
presently locateil at Reed City in
Osceola County, is, gtarting'.on it§
second coverage of the area.
Twenty counties (AlPena, Alcona, Iosco, Oscoda, Montmorency,
Cheboygan, Presque Isle, Arenac,
Clare, Crawford* Ros-common, Missaukee, Osceola, take, Mason, Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, Otsego
and Manistee were involved in the
ABR initial test,
In southern Michigan, using a
combined blood and ABR or milk
ring testing program, Muskegon,
Oceana, Barry, and Bay were recently completed,; with' Montcalm,
Ottawa, TuScola, Eaton, and Calhoun soon to Ibe finished.    ,
In addition, work is proceeding
in Isabella, Newago, and Kent with
a similar program, These southern
Michigan counties are on a defer-
re'd slaughter program with regulated retention of reactor cattle.
Recent .ounty-wide retests >of this
area show that many owners dispose of thejr reacting cattle soon
after tests are made. '

No -Hit Victims
Of Oilers
Drop To 3-3
Season Record
The Clare Pioneers lost their]
Second consecutive game of the'
young season as the Mt. pleasant
Oilers ran roughshod over them
7-0. Oiler Pitcher Terry, Kniffen
used his fast ball to'advantage as
he threw* a no-hit _ no-run game
down the collective 'throats of the
Pioneers, I
Clare pitcher Ed Wichert did
his best but his mates made seven
errors in playing their least aggressive game of the year. • *
The Pioneers have a 3-S record'
so far as they have lost three of
theii- last four contests. Their
fielding, which has rated in preseason forecasts as their strong,
point, has not lived up to prec.2--
tions.

Krell Given
Nod By Jury i
In Re-Trial
Decision Reversed
In $14,794.75 Suit
A jury decision was found in favor of Leland Krell in a Clare
county circuit court suit over the
sale of 94 head of Hereford cattle
to John Kober and Sons of Sparta,
The verdict, which was handed to
the court about 10:30 Saturday
evening after a four-day trial, reversed the decision of another jury
which hqard the case in November
of 1952.
Last week's re-trial was ordered
on the basis of newly discovered
evidence. The outcome was, in effect a judgement ordering the
payment of $14,794.75 to Krell for
the stock which he had sold last
July.
" The Kobers were reported' to
have stopped nayment on their
check- after'-^ie delivery" pf *Qi-
cattle last summer. They contended that they did not receive the
same animals that they had selected and ordered from Krell.
But 'testimony" brought out the
admission that changes in the
cattle market after the original
transaction may have had something to do with their dissatisfaction with the deal.
Saturday's court verdict cleared
Krell of any taint on his fair dealing reputation, and vindicated him
of the stock-substituting charge-
which he felt -was implied in the,
first decision. . . •
The Kobers suffered a substantial loss, in the affair since the
stock was all sold in -March at,a
market loss of several thousands
of dollars.
Attorney Robert J. Curry, of
Saginaw represented Kroll in the
new trial and Kober and Sons were
represented by Attorney Jay W.
Linsey, of Grand Rapids. The case
was heard before visiting Judge
Karl K. Leibrand, of.Bay City.    .

Atom Bomb, Rader, Rocket Combinedln
Single Weapon to Replace Artillery
(Editor's note: Following is
the fifth in a series of six articles dealing with the development of guided missiles by
the Army.)
The Army's "ultra modern" super-armaments program now combines the three most significant
developments to emerge fro m
World war II—the atomic bomb,
the supersonic rocket, and radar.
These developments have been
welded into a guided missiles program—a program which in, many
respects now is out of the development stage and' is in the masst production stage.    ,
There can be no doubt that guided missiles have moved out of the
realm of science-fiction into that
of reality.
In the eight years the Army has
been working on supersonic rockets and guided missiles, several
have been developed. Some of them
—such as the Nike—were developed for anti-aircraft purposes. Others, including the Honest John and
the .Corporal—not to be confused
with earlier research vehicles such
as the Wac Corporal or the Corporal E—were developed as long-
range field artillery to strike at
targets on the surface of the earth.]
The    Cui-wn.il    I'1-,    ;l    curl, re-
Taunched test .missile, was developed as a research instrument by
.he Army Ordnance Corps.
To date, announcements of spe-
zifics of these missiles have been
'hinted, ^ut men responsible for
the Army's, super-armaments program take pride in- the fact that
guided missiles now have emerged
from their design and cocoon stage
into flight and-tactical production.
Army Chief of Staff General -.
Lawton Collins said recently:
"What the Army is doing is in
tegrating these arms—guided missiles, rockets, as well as atomic
artillery—into our own pattern of
weapons."
During tfye past year, the Army
began production of tactical missiles and set the wheels in motion
to activate combat units trained
and equipped to fire, at least two
of the Army's new missiles.
The Army did not intend to sit
back and wait until the first tactical guided missile Was produced
and then rush into a furious training program. Instead, it began
training immediately on avallable
test rockets and missiles so that
tactical missiles couW be employed in the field at the earliest jiossl-
ble date.
This .meant taking advantage of
every opportunity foi' auidrd mis
sile training, continued assistance
in the development work at While
Sands Proving*' Ground, sending
personnel to factories and laboratories throughout the country to
obtain on-the-job training, and
missile operations and training for
the men on whatever "hardware"
was available.
'Where we use a guided missile
battalion, it will replace an antiaircraft or a field artillev-y battalion," said General Collins. "Similarly, where we use a battalion
capable of firing atomic energy
weapons, it will take the place of a
regular artillery battalion.
"But," he continued, "most of
the older weapons will remain for
the time being. The new weapons
have great possibilities, especially
in bad weather. But the public
should not jump to the conclusion
that they will replace conventional
weapons over-night."
Credit for the" achievements
made in the missile field is wide
spread. Much of the initial success
stemmed from many of the best
brains of American industry and
Universities. ■
Army participation iu the development program primarily Involved two technical services, the
Ordnance and the. Signal Corp.-.
