Aim Program
At School
Child Safety
Traffic Cautioti
Urged by Official
Superintendent of Public Instruction, Clair L. Taylor, today announced the opening of a statewide traffic safety emphasis program aimed at reducing accidents
to school children.
Right after Labor Day 1% million children will return to school
and there will begin the enormous
movement of children to and from
schools every week- day.
The superintendent said H0.000
of these will be attending school
for the first time and motorists
must remember that this is a
brand new experience for these
children.
According to the Superintendent,
never in the history of Michigan
has there been so great a number
of children or such a number of
cars on the highway and unless we
redouble our safety efforts sheer
mathematics will give Michigan
the blackest traffic record in years.
Mr. Taylor said-, "I have confidence that *we will step up to this
challenge. Michigan motorists
know that children have been
away from their schools and the
influence of their safety programs.
They will be expecting the*m to do
childish and unusual things."
Commenting on the personal responsibility of adults, Superintendent Taylor said: "I want to urge
every motorist to do one thing
this year and that is upon sight of
any child repeat the September
campaign slogan, WATQH OUT
FOR KIDS. *We all have a personal
motive because they may be your
children or mine. At any rate we
know there is a parent at home
anxiously awaiting the safe arrival
of every one of these- children."

Art Classes
For Adults
Adult classes in art will begin
the first week in Sept-ember at the
home of Virginia Seitz. Classes
will be of six to eight members and
will meet on week days one day a
week from two until four o'clock.
Instruction will'- include choice of
subject matter, individual expression and technique, and Will cover
use of charcoal, pastel, watercolor,
tempera and oil paints.
Persons with no previous art
training! -are oncouraged to try painting as a holbby. Amateur artists
all over the nation have attracted
attention with .their own exhibits
such as was staged by Clare's
adult art class in June. The social
science of geriatrics encourages
art as a hobby both of therapeutic
and recreational value for persons
i planning retirement.
It is hoped that the numW of
students enrolled in art classes this
fall will permit a larger and more
complete art exhibit for Clare in
the spring. ■   < •*
For more information concerning
the art classes call Mrs. Seitz before September 7» when classes
will begin, Adults living outside of
Clare are also welcome to join the
clas-nef-,
Early Landmark
Modern Progress
One of glare's oldest remaining
landmarks, a "building which "was
until recently the Smalley. residence on McEwan street, was
marked for demolition this week to
make "way for erection of a new |
business building. • j
Carpenters 'bega,n tearing down
the old structure which will be re-,
placed by a farm implement sales (
building .for Leon Dull,
Originally known as the Stearns
House, the building was built in
1871 and was one of three new hotels built in Clare the same year.
These first hotels were the Alger
House, the Nichol House and the
Stearns.
Child Killed

year old .daughter of- Mr. and Mrs.
Eatil Jones, of Flint, died in Central
Michigan Hos,pitail at 10:00 o'clock

that af'tennoon.
Her flabher, Eanl Jones, 32, was
driving east on UiS-10, three miles
east of Glare, when his oar collided, with, one driven Iby Ben Qp-
dycke, 72, of Detroit, who was driving west on the "highway and attempted to pass another car.
Jones suffered head lacerations
and his wife Mary, 31, a fractured
lag.
.Qpdyoke sustained head lacerations; his wife, Mary 67, internal
injuries; and Nettie Koontz,-17,- of
Toledo, a -passenger in the car,

Three Car Crash
Miis. Myrtle Wilson, 45, of Ann
Aflbor, suffifered ahrasions and possible internal injuries in a three
■car coM^ion at a county road intersection three miles north of Clare
at 5; 30 PiM. Thursday of Qast
week. She was brought to Clare
Gieneral Hosipital aad removed to
Ann Arbor Friday.
A-cc-xding* to State Police, Mrs.
"Wilson.- v.__ enrou^s to Houghton
Lake wihen,a car driven 'by Helen
C. Weadh, 59, of .West Sixth iSt.
Clare, -pulled out of the county
road and Thomas Cain, 16, of Iron
River who was unable to stop,
struck the Welch car in the rear
end 'and then struck the Wilson
car.
Cain was ticketed for excessive
speed.
The history of the building includes an account- of an early fire
which destroyed most of tha hotel in 1881, just ten years"'after it
was built. The Stearns family rebuilt the building on the same site
in about 1884 and it may be the
oldest building in the city remaining on its original' foundation.
Caleb W, Stearns was only tlie
fifth person or party to .own the
property where "he built the hotel.
Previously, the land had passed
from the U. S. Government to the
Pere Marquette railroad by a federal grant, and into the hands of
the first private owner, a Mr.
Ammi Wright in 1863, and then into the ownership of the McEwan
family.
After the 1881 fire, Qaleb Stearns
died and the property was sold to
a Miv Giberson. Giberson Sold back
again to members of the Stearns
family who once more operated the
Stearns House in the building.
Later, Kittle Goldman owned the
property for a short time before
selling to Erodrick Smalley, who
moved his family into Clare from
a homestead farm, in Vernon township- to take up residence in the
former hotel.
The Smalley family moved into
the place in 1899 and Mr. Smalley,
operated a wagon repair shop nearby in a sort of partnership with
one of his sons, Fred.
After the death of the elder
Smalley, Fred! continued the wagon
repair business at the same location. Fred and Carrie Smalley, his
wife, raised their family in the
house which was once the hotel
Only recently did Mrs. Smalley
finally sell the proud old place
Which had been owned by generations of her family for more than
half a century.
The location of the old landmark
in the 200 block on McEwan street
was once the center of the busiest
part of the city. The Stearns
House was one of the better eating
places and catered to townspeople
and travelers who arrived' in Clare
by train at the station which was
located across the main street and
a little north.
A photograph of Clare's main
street taken in 1872 shows the
original Stearns House- on the
edge of a stuU'cpNCiiled clearing
where . smooth pavtoient now
stretches.
Mr, Dull, the present owner of
the property plan* to -build an implement and farm supply store on
McEwan street where the old landmark is being tdrn down, and will
retain his present building on East
Second street for storage and a
repair shop.
Old Timers Will Miss It....
New Series, Vof. 6i,No, *9
This  latest  picture  of the  building   being  torn   down   is  the   last
memento of the old landmark.' It i£ of interest to old timers as the
oldest of Clare's McEwan street buildings still standing on its original foundation.   It was once in the center of the most desirable part
