Tetanus Shots Help You
Avoid Lockjaw Danger
Death is a sure thing for two out
of the average five Michigan persons who get lockjaw each year,
says a University of Michigan
physician.   "
But both illness and death from
the disease can be avoided by getting tetanus antitoxin shots if you
have never had the shots and toxoid booster injections if you have
had the first shot, states Dr. Milton F-. Bryant of the U-M Medical
School.
The first shot does not immunize
for life and should be repeated
when your doctor advises, he says.
The shots are strictly for prevention and are of almost no value
if given after lockjaw has been
contracted. Virtually all persons
who have  tetanus  shots  are  im-

GEORGE I. BROWN
Mrs. Anna Geeck and Mr. and
Mrs. Perry Geeck, of Coleman, left
June 22 for Minneapolis, Minneso*
ta, to attend the funeral of the
former Mrs. Geeck's brother,
George I. Brown. He was a former
Glare county resident, living on his
farm west of Clare, He had been
a resident of Minneapolis the pa3fc
ten years and his wife passed away
there several years ago, H,e leaves
a son.. Irving G. Brown.
mune to the disease, which can develop from a. trivial wound or injury, Dr. Bryant indicates.
Some 60 per cent of lockjaw
cases are children under 14. But
as the disease is no respecter of
age, shots should be given to any
person who never has had them.
Took A Walk
A rash of lost children broke
out across the face of 'Michigan's
state park system last week, the
conservation department reports.
A five-year-'old left home one
morning recently and was not
found ubtil 5 .that afternoon, hap»
pily fishing for crabs in- the nearby state park. In the interim, his
distraught parents had summoned
police and neighbors into the
search.
in another case, a park ranger
was awakened at 4t a.m. to find a
four-year-old girl wailing at his
doorstep. Most campers in the park
had to be awakened before' the
parents of the wandering infant
pould be located.
Others left for home, took, walks
in nearby woods or otherwise
strayed from the watch "of parents
during the last week. *
But one camper settled the problem of his seven, children by literally taking them "in tow". A park
manager reports seeing the man
on a stroll through the woods,
holding one end of a light rope
while the seven youngsters trobp-
ed along behind ,each carefully
holding to his section* of the tow*
line.

"The Wednesday noon luncheon
meeting of the Clare Rotary Club
Faced with a critical wheat storage situation and prospects of a big 1953 harvest, Michigan wheat farmers are
turning to.their county agricultural agents for on-farm
storage advice.
Director D. B. Varner of the Cooperative Extension Service at Michigan State College has ordered "shock troops"
into the field to fortify the agents with answers to an
avalanche of questions,      ,     •
Two meetings were called
Wednesday, July 8, at the
court houses at Harrison and
Gaylord—with county agents
summoned in from all over
the Northland. The meetings
began at 10 a.m., with M.S.'C.
teams of extension specialists
. on hand.   .
E. A. "Pip" Wenner, northern
district Extension supervisor, was
in charge at Gaylord and B. D.
Kuhn, M.S.C. director of agricultural programs, was chairman at
Harrison,
Paul Gibson, Clare county Agricultural Agent said that attendance
at the moisting was very good with
representative^ from the. counties
of Clare, Gladwin, Iosco, Alcona,
Isabella and Wexford.
Clarence Prentice and Dale Butz,
farm economists, outlined how
farmers could make a saving of
about 70 cents per bushel through
on-farm storage, Including 90-day
distress loans for emergency storage. Prospects for a referendum
vote and wheat allotments for 1954
also were discussed.
Dennie L. Clanahan and Leyton
Nelson, farm "crops specialists,
stressed need for harvest care—to
be sure grain, equipment and bins
are in top condition so damage in
harvest and storage would be held
to a minimum. Farmers are responsible for condition of the grain,
even under the emergency storage
program.
George Aniundson and Robert
Maddex, farm engineers, outlined
detailed methods of setting up both
emergency and permanent storage.
Farmers can get details from the
county agents.

Schedule
Announced
PMA farmer-comniittee elections
have been schedul*"Bld' by the County PMA Committed'during July 6
through July! 28.    .*:! 'j
At these election- the fanners
in each . community iWill have?- an

committee, and alternates.
Andrew J. Keysor, Chairman of
the Clare County PMA Committee,
says that thi^s year these elections
are of particular significance because of the added responsibility
which will be given to community
committeemen in administering
the 1954 Agricultural Conservation Program.
The community committeemen
elected Will be responsible for contacting every farmer iu the community to help him check the conservation needs of the farm, determine the most urgently needed conservation practices, and make the
most effective use of available-
assistance in carrying out the
practices'.
As the chairman Sees it, "If we
are to have enough food and fiber
in the years ahead, it will have
to come largely from our present
crop land. That means we must
protect it so that it Will keep on
producing. That is Why we' have
the Agricultural Conservation Program, and that is why we need the*
best possible farmer committee
leadership. The effort must be Successful or there will be less food
on the Nation's tables in the years
ahead."
