For Pioneers
The Clare Pioneers chalked up
their first victory of the 1953 season by defeating the Shepherd
Bluejays 20 to 0.
■Olare got off to a slow -star* in the
11 r s t quarter being constantly
hampered by fumbles. Neither
team could score, although some
excellent football was played.
Things looked different in the
second quarter when the Pioneers
opened tbe scoring -with Norris
Bay going over from the ten yard
line. The try for extra point was
no good.
A fatal attempt was made by
Shepherd in the last half of the
second quarter to score through
the air, but Clare's great defensive
line rushed the passer and held
them scoreless.
Shepherd threatened in the third
quarter, but a fumble broke their
only scoring chance,.
After an exchange of kicks,
Shepherd fumbled and Jim Chandanais picked up the ball and ran
32 yards for another touchdown.
The try for an extra point failed,
and Clare led 12 to 0.
Clare's outstanding defensive
player, Nard Robinette, set up the
next touchdown Avhen he grabbed
off an enemy pass and returned it
30 yards to the ten yard line. Nor-
is Bay lugged it over on the next
play for the counter.
Clare racked up two more points
when they stopped Shepherd behind the Jay's goal line with Jim
Dwyer ^making the tackle.
Norris Bay ran very well with
the middle of Clare's line, consisting of Jim Chandanais and Fred
Haggart at -the guards, and Bill
Ulrich and Jim Duncan at the
tackles, opening up the holes.
Clare will .play Reed City on the
Clare field Friday night, October 2
at 8:00.
The big Red and Black team
from Reed City took a 4*>0 licking
from Big Rapids, which, compared
with the pioneers defeat by the
same Big Rapids team puts Friday's rivals on something like even
money for those who like to pick
the winner.
Coach perry pointed out that the
whole team has improved since
their first game. So the Reed City
game should be a thriller. Try. to
come.
County Fair
A Success
The Clare County Free Fair drew
a large attendance this year to
view the many fine exhibits, and
enjoy the outstanding entertainment program.
Secretary Ray Harrold reports
that all of the improvements, including the new poultry house and

fair was a financial success.

ner For
Small Game
On a golden wanm October day
during which temiperaitures rose to
almost 100' degrees in the direct
sun, Michigan's hunters and sportsmen went into the 116143 and
marshes to open another game season.
/The bright autumn sunshine of
yesterday's opener, and 'the thick:
foliage yet remaining on the upland trees, did little lor successful shooting. But the wltek end will
almost certainly see more hunters
in the field and more game taken.
The harvest of the game and fur
crop last year was estimated at
$15.8 million in mealt and hides
alone, to say nptJhing of the vast,
recreational value earned by hunters and trapipers in making use
of Michigan's woods, waters, and
wildlife.
A total df neary 10,000 tons of
meat were taken from the woods
by hunters, enough, to provide food
for one year for an estimated
28,500 average-sized families.
The fur crop alone in 1S52
brought almost §2 million. Enough
muskr'at, beaver and mink were
taken t o make an estimated
14,4500 fur coats and Other garments.
The langest single item swas
meat from the deer herd, estimated
at §8.5 million in value. Running
second and third were the pheasant and -cottontail ralbibit meat
crops', each, valued at somewhat
more than $1 (million.
iMuslerat pelts (brought more
than $800,000 mink pelts aibout
§430,000 and beaver hides aibout
§280.000.
When compared "with agricultural income, wildlife proved worth
nearly as much as Michigan's entire sugar heet, rye, harley and
soybean crops, valued in total at
slightly more than ^lo.S million
last year.

Masonry's thirty-third degree is
without exception, an honor by invitation, that is, the degree cannot be applied for, or sought after
by the individual. It is considered
an honor recognizing service performed for the nation, state, county or township or city and is not
awarded basically for service in
the Masonic Lodge alone.
Mr. Bucholz' years of activity in
the Lodge include a term as Worshipful Master of West Branch
Lodge, when he was said to haye
been the youngest master of that
Lodge up to that time.
Later he served as Michigan
Grand Lodge Deputy Instructor,
and finally as a degree team Captain at The Consistory.
Mr. Bucholz plans to travel to
Boston, Massachusetts to achieve
this crowning climax to his Masonic career. The degree will be conferred in September 1954.

Last fall, at least two of the

its seven-foot wingspan., its white

white bird in the event it may be
a stray whooping crane instead of
a supposed legal game bird.

Last Sunday evening marked another milestone in plans for the
steady growth and improvement of
the Olare Methodist Ohurch. property to meet the growing needs of
the parish.
Seiveral years ago the auditorium
was completely remodeled and, re-
eauipiped; then came tihe addition
of the annex providing a parlor
and two badiy needed rooms for
the nursery and beginners in the
Church School.
Last year saw the revamping of
the basement with the Installation
of new heating equipment, a new
ceiling and a tile floor, also fold-
doors making it pqssilble to divide
the banquet haE into four rooms
toy use by the Primary and Junior
Departments of the Church School.
Besides these major items many
other things have been done to increase the capacity of the church
to serve the community.
It was thought advisable to see
these things accomplished before
attempting to do anything aibout
the construjation of a new, or more
adequate home for the pastor senv-
ing the charge. For several months
past a sipecial committee chosen
for the purpose of making a study
of such a project Has (been at
work.
The matter was brought (before
the Official Board of the Faiiwell
Methodist Church at a recent
meeting of said Board. Favorable
action was taken hy the Farwefll
Board to cooperate with the Clare
Church in the proposed underKak-
img.
Last Sunday evening the special
committee presented its report and
its findings to a large attendance
of the Official Board of the Clare
Methodist Church,. Afiter considerable discussion which covered
many aspects of the problem, a
vote was taken by ballot which
was overwhelmingly in favor of
going ahead with the -project as
outlined in the reipont and findings
of the special committee.
Members of the committee sulb-
mitted building plans which were
studied and one of these met with
the unanimous approiyal of the
several memfbersi of the comimittee.
The'present parsonag' is to he sold
and the new structure huilt upon
the present site.
The Finance Commission, after
the entire memlbership has heen
made well' aware of the plans and
needs, will assume the responsibility in cooperation with, the
Special Committee of raising the
necessary funds" for the -building
project with construction to, start,
it is hoped, by next spring or early
Summer.

■Coming Back
The Clare Sentinel certainly gets
around • • • .'•
With subscribers in more than
half of the forty-eight states, in
foreign countries, and readers
among the armed services in
Korea and the European Theatre,
yes, The Sentinel gets around
plenty. And it isn't surprising that
we "met ourselves coming back"
in an unusual happening just the
other day.
Heres how it was:
Mrs. John Densmore, of Bay
City received a newspaper clipping
last week from her son who is in
military service in Korea. The clipping was a story about Mrs. Lida
Court who is with her husband
Rolland, of the U< S. Army stationed in Germany.
Officers and men of Court's unit
expressed unusual appreciation for
Mrs. Court's musical contribution
toward the success of a civilian
undertaking there, and the story
made the headlines.
Reading the clipping, Mrs: Densmore decided that this story would
make good copy for others of Mrs.
Court's friends to read. So the clipping was sent to The Sentinel for
reprinting.
But here's the "catch". Where
was the story originally printed?
And where did the paper come
from which was sent from Korea
to Clare?"
Why, it was a Sentinel Story in
the first place and clipped from
Soldier Densmore's own copy,
mailed from this office.
How we get around!

Farwell School
Plans Survey
A recent letter to all community
organizations listed within the consolidated area has been sent out
by Gene Schmid, secretary of the
Farwell School Board.
Each organization has been invited to send a representative to a
meeting at the school on Monday,
October 12th, at 8:00 pjm. The (purpose of the meeting is to arrange
committees for the survey of the
school and its needs to further develop the educational program aS
quickly and easily as possible.
Since the Board felt this was an
entire community problem, and one
requiring more advice- and knowledge than thfeir own, they have
also asked Frad Siegle, and Don
Luce to meet with them; recognizing the past years of experience
and their genuine interest in our
young people.
Reports of all meetings will be
publishel in the paper following
the date. It is hop*ed that if by
some error an organization has
been missed in being notified that
they will feel free to attend or at
least make themselves known to
Mr. Schmid, that they mal be contacted for future meetings.
Though this is strictly an organizational meeting to arrange committees, anyone interested is welcome to attend. If the committees
deem-it adviseable following conclusion of their surveys, several
public meetings will be held that
their knowledge may be reported
verbally as well as through the local paper.
Again may we urge that each organization-send its delegate-that a
wider and broader area* of 'ifis
community may be represented and
all possible suggestions and recommendations be received and examined.
Fortunes Bid
At Rotary For
Five Slaves
Labor comes high, Rotary members decided after Clare's first recorded Slave. Auction Wednesday
noon at the Club luncheon at the-
Hotel Doherty. ,
The auction of five '/able-bodied"
working men was "another in the
series of money-raising schemes
promoted by the Rotary club to
finance their community projects.
The bidding was for the use of the
"slaves" time for one-half day.
The work or services of the
"slave" is to be real — the rest is
only a gag, and- some of the bidders are still gagging over the
prices they had to pay for the hired
time of the poor victims.
Bud Anderson's fate is to become a prescription hustler for
Houghton's Drug Store for a half-
a-day since Murl Houghton hid
high for Andy's slave time. Tom
Campbell will be sent to the used
car lot on US40 where Dan McDonald will bend his back over^a
few chores.
NOel Hemmert, Guy Autry and
Bob Archambault go to various
salt mines, stone quarries, and ox-
team harnesses owned by local
Lagrees.
The fun raised nearly $100 for
the club. Other projects are still
reporting,
Guests at the lunch were: Lyle
Graham, of the Ford Motor Com*
patty with Dan McDonald; Dick
Johnson and Murl Ifoughton with
Earl Morgan; Paul Scott with
Stuart Bicknell; and Dex Elden
with Marve Witbeck.
