1952 In Ideal
Hunt Weather
Conservation department game
men -weren't very far out on a limb,
when they said they expected a
bigger and better pheasant season
this year than was encountered by
hunters in 1952.
First 'off, in 1952, nearly ever-
bady cussed the weather. Opening
flay was blustery and cold over
most of southern Michigan, (the
only portion of the state pheasants
seem to like very well anyway),
while in the Thumb district, hunter's gritted their teeth and plowed
through a near-blizzard that morning. .
■ "Elsewhere, there was rain, high
wind and bone-chilling cold.
'■'* Then the weather doubled back,
became hot and dried out fields
dufing much of the season.
It, was so hot and so dry that
total hunter numbers afield slip-
• ped aiipreciably below the 1951
figure!
Hunters sweltered and dogs
sounded like; thrashing machines in
fields crisp with dry foliage factors; that--kept hunting success
down and tempers up.
Game men felt it just couldn't
he .that bad this year.
. Then too, pheasant numbers are
reportedly higher this year than in
1952.
; The mail carriers' survey this
year shows a population increase
of 30 percent over last year, while
other department field studies also
indieate a substantial increase in
rhjgheek numbers.
It's-still "too early to know from
license sales reports whether or
not hunter numbers will increase
this year, but department officials
estimate that about 250,000 hunters are in the field during these
first few days of the season.
This estimate is based on previous openings and previous small
game license sales totals.
As usual, no hunting of any type
—including all small game and migratory waterfowl hunting was
allowed in the lower peninsula until 10 a.m. on October 20.
. Other seasons opened in the
Southern lower peninsula at 10
a.m. on the 20th, also. Woodcock,
fox and gray squirrels, rutted
grouse, woodchuck, rabbits and
liar«s and raccoons all bccpmfe le*
gal game at that hour, but as usual,
the big hunting emphasis is on
pheasants for the opening few
days, while other game species absorb only incidental hunter interest for the present.

to a close Thursday noon.

Prof. Hayes
Farmers Night
Speaker Here

Thursday night, November fifth, at
the Doherty hotel.
Plans are being made to fill the

The committee, moving fast with
well organized plans, has tickets

a message very worthwhile for his
audience.

the Clare business men's organization.
The questions answered here are
those most commonly asked by
veterans in connection with the
education and training program of
the Korean GI Bill, Public Law
550, 82nd Congress.
Although it has become known
as the Korean GI Bill, the law
does not limit its benefits to those
who saw action in the fighting front
in Korea.
Veterans who served any place
in the world after June 27, 1950,
may be eligible for the benefits.
No attempt has been made to go
into detail or into unusual problems. Full information may be obtained at any Veterans Administration office.
y QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q—'Just what is the education and
. training program of the Korean
GI Bill?

financial aid for schooling and
training to elegible veterans who

and before the end of the present emergency, and (3) at least
90 days total service, unless discharged sooner for an actual service-incurred disability.
Q—Must a veteran have served in
Korea to be eligible for the training benefits?
A—No. He may have served in the
armed forces any place in the
world—in the United States or
abroad—and not necessarily in
Korea.

service that do not count, in figuring whether a veteran has
enough service to qualify?

count: time "spent in civilian
school studying courses offered
to civilians, and time spent as a
cadet or midshipman in one of
the Service academies.
Q—Assume that a veteran meets
all the requirements for training.

150 Visitors
At Open House
Open house at The Sentinel last
Friday and Saturday in observance of the newspaper's 75th anniversary was an outstanding success.
One hundred and fifty guests
were shown through the plant to
see the Linotypes, Ludlow typesetter, newspaper press, commercial printing presses, and other
equipment in operation was given
for the benefit of many \who were
amazed upon their first visit of a
newspape'r plant in operation.
Sentinel employees worked overtime Saturday afternoon so that
the visitors could see them at
work.
Displays of news features and
special editions on the business office walls proved to be of interest
to many. The older files of The
Sentinel and Clare's first newspaper, The Clare Press, proved to
be of unusual interest.
The office and printing plant
had been redecorated in pleasing
pastel and suitable darker colors
for the occasion and the Sentinel,
received a number of nice compliments on the appearance of the
office and work room.
Beautiful baskets of flowers
sent with the compliments of the
Citizens State Bank, Charles
Strange, Clare Chamber of Commerce, the journalism class of
Clare High School, and the Michigan Press Association, added
much to the appearance and atmosphere of the office.
Among the guests were Emil
Bucholz, publisher of the Clare
County Cleaver, and Paul Moon,
publisher of the Gladwin Gounty
Record.
The journalism class of Clare
High School, accompanied by their
teacher, Myrtie Bowerman, attended open house Friday morning; and the Bader School was
closed Friday afternoon and the
teacher brought the entire school
in as guests of The Sentinel.
Doughnuts and cider were served to the visitors. One lad asked
Monday if We had any cider and
doughnuts left, which speaks well
for the appreciation of the visitors.
Publisher Dexter Elden and the
entire Sentinel staff were well
pleased with the response to his
invitation to the public to join The
Sentinel in observance of its diamond anniversary.

Varsity Wins
Four Straight
Score 12-0 Win
Over Beaverton
The Clare Pioneers scrapped a
hard fighting Beaverton eleven for
a 12 to 0 victory.
The game started out as expected as Clare scored in the opening
minutes of the first quarter when
Joe Humphrey went 15 yards for
Clare's first touchdown. The attempt for extra point failed. Clare
led 6 to 0.
Beaverton then started to get rolling. They picked up several first
downs by passing before Clare's
defensive stiffened. In the second
quarter Clare struck back again
when Clare's rough little line backer, Nard Robinette, intercepted a
pass and ran it back to the 6 yard
line. From there Bill Siel cracked
over for the touchdown. The' attempt for extra point was no good.
Clare tried to strike back before
the half ended with Earl Robinette
passing, only to have time run out.
! In the second half, Clare's penalties bogged down their scoring,
Norris Bay went for 40 yards only
to have a fifteen yard penalty nullify his great run. '
j Beaverton couldn't get any yardage on the ground yith Clare's defense holding them to a minimum
I of yards, but could gain quite
freely through the air.
In the fourth quarter, Clare was
again hurt by penalties when Bill
Siel scored, only to have it called
back. That ended all the scoring
threats'with Clare winning 12 to 0.
One of Clare's regular linemen,
. Bill Ulrich, saw limited action because he has three bruised ribs.
Bill is expected tb be ready to go
again by the homecoming game.
1 A couple of the outstanding players were the Robinette brothers
■ who played a great defensive game.

First 'off, in 1952, nearly ever- bady cussed the weather. Opening flay was blustery and cold over most of southern Michigan, (the only portion of the state pheasants seem to like very well anyway), while in the Thumb district, hunter's gritted their teeth and plowed through a near-blizzard that morning. . ■ "Elsewhere, there was rain, high wind and bone-chilling cold. '■'* Then the weather doubled back, became hot and dried out fields dufing much of the season. It, was so hot and so dry that total hunter numbers afield slip- • ped aiipreciably below the 1951 figure! Hunters sweltered and dogs sounded like; thrashing machines in fields crisp with dry foliage factors; that--kept hunting success down and tempers up. Game men felt it just couldn't he .that bad this year. . Then too, pheasant numbers are reportedly higher this year than in 1952. ; The mail carriers' survey this year shows a population increase of 30 percent over last year, while other department field studies also indieate a substantial increase in rhjgheek numbers. It's-still "too early to know from license sales reports whether or not hunter numbers will increase this year, but department officials estimate that about 250,000 hunters are in the field during these first few days of the season. This estimate is based on previous openings and previous small game license sales totals. As usual, no hunting of any type —including all small game and migratory waterfowl hunting was allowed in the lower peninsula until 10 a.m. on October 20. . Other seasons opened in the Southern lower peninsula at 10 a.m. on the 20th, also. Woodcock, fox and gray squirrels, rutted grouse, woodchuck, rabbits and liar«s and raccoons all bccpmfe le* gal game at that hour, but as usual, the big hunting emphasis is on pheasants for the opening few days, while other game species absorb only incidental hunter interest for the present.

Sentinel employees worked overtime Saturday afternoon so that the visitors could see them at work. Displays of news features and special editions on the business office walls proved to be of interest to many. The older files of The Sentinel and Clare's first newspaper, The Clare Press, proved to be of unusual interest. The office and printing plant had been redecorated in pleasing pastel and suitable darker colors for the occasion and the Sentinel, received a number of nice compliments on the appearance of the office and work room. Beautiful baskets of flowers sent with the compliments of the Citizens State Bank, Charles Strange, Clare Chamber of Commerce, the journalism class of Clare High School, and the Michigan Press Association, added much to the appearance and atmosphere of the office. Among the guests were Emil Bucholz, publisher of the Clare County Cleaver, and Paul Moon, publisher of the Gladwin Gounty Record. The journalism class of Clare High School, accompanied by their teacher, Myrtie Bowerman, attended open house Friday morning; and the Bader School was closed Friday afternoon and the teacher brought the entire school in as guests of The Sentinel. Doughnuts and cider were served to the visitors. One lad asked Monday if We had any cider and doughnuts left, which speaks well for the appreciation of the visitors. Publisher Dexter Elden and the entire Sentinel staff were well pleased with the response to his invitation to the public to join The Sentinel in observance of its diamond anniversary.
