Dates have been set by Leonard
Klaasse, Harrison, the County
Campaign chairman to open the
drive on Saturday, November 7,
and continue through the month.

raised for the county, and for the
city of Clare, with the following
sums to be raised.
State Agencies $822.
National JJF Quota $268.
U.S.O, $750.
UF TOTAL $1840
Additional campaigns have been
joined to the United Fund canvassing effort ih the Continuing policy
to make this as much of a "give-
one-time-for-all" project as possible.
These organizations which have
added their quotas to the United
Fund total to eliminate separate
campaigns are:
Salvation Army $650
Michigan -Childrens Aid Society 250
Boy Scouts of America 1800
Girl Scouts (Clare city) 400

not be ready Saturday" morning for

towns and townships of the county

Gladwin Tilt
Rouses Clare
School Spirit
A Win Will Be  .
Sweet Revenge
Clare" varsity gridders wrestled
an, upset victory over Cheboygan
last week, and so served notice on
Gladwin that the schedule finale tonight will be a fired-up, all-out attempt to even the score for last
year's, defeat on the Gladwin field.
The' Pioneers' appetite for a win
over Gladwin is whetted by the
memory of their crushed dreams
and bruised reputations after last
year's 18-1? Gladwin success.
That game stopped the Clare
winning streak at 14 games, —dropped the team from their elevated
position in several State or area
Class B ratings, —and once again
proved the. sports adage that, "over-
confidence loses more games than
superior opponents."
Now, this year again, Clare will
end the season by a meeting with
another powerful Gladwin team. A
victory-here will "assure' the final
touch of success to coach George
Perry's first season at Clare High.
A single loss mars the Gladwin
record. Standish downed them this
season.., Clare' must protect their
5-1-1 rating.
The continued good support of
home games guarantees a big
crowd.
The band has polished their precision marching for another excellent performance. School spirit has
reached a new high.
Coach George Perry says that
the coaching staff and all team
members have been looking forward to this game.
All enthusiasm points toward a
deserving climax for thirteen seniors who will finish their high
school football careers. It will be
the last time for Glen Hales, Mark
Ruark, Bill Ulrich, Jim Duncan,
Gale Soules*. Jim Chandanais, Jim
Beitinck, Walter Bay, Mel Walters,
Norris Bay, Earl Robinette, Bob
Haynak, and Leo Smith.
Game starting time is 8:00 p.m.
what's more the business gain was
held, and did" not fall away sharply
during July as happened in 1952.
These figures were contained in
a monthly bulletin from the Michigan Department of Revenue issued last week.
Encouraging forecasts of holiday
business at ten' percent or more
above last year also cheered merchants in the final season of 1953,
The state's fiscal year just ended, brought a record total of tax
'collections of $344.5 millions, with
the state sales tax primarily responsible for the increase. These
reports are followed closely as an
index of business ups and downs.
Sales and use tax collections dur-
ing August were ,$24,326,432.71, an
astonishing 25 percent oyer the
same month a year ago,
- Meanwihle, owners and operators
of small businesses in the state
were told that opportunities for
success are at a peak, when Don
Weeks, director of the Michigan
Department of Economic Development spoke to a group of small
business people at Michigan State
College during a business clinic.
And another speaker, Dr. Lydia
Jordan told the listeners that
"small business is big business".
Dr. Jordan is past president of the
Iowa Federation of Professional
and Business women
Small business people were advised to become boosters for their

City Collects
Share of Tax
Net receipts of the State Motor
Vehicle Highway Fund for the
Third Quarter of the calendar year
1953 amounted to $27,370,543.99 and
this money is now being distributed* to the State Highway Department, the Counties, and the Cities
and Incorporated Villages of the
State as provided for by state law.
Net receipts of the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund for the same
period last year were $23,355,021.27
The sum of $250,000 is being deducted from the counties* share of
the Third Quarter Motor Vehicle
collections as a part payment on
the $5,000,000 loan advanced by the
Highway Department under Act 50
of the 1948" Legislature, which was
a measure to help the Counties
during the serious financial situation they were in prior to enactment bf the gas tax increase in
1951.
That act provided that .the counties would return the money to
the Highway Department at the
rate of $250,000 a quarter, if gas
or Weight taxes ever "should be increased. »
The present deduction is the
ninth payment on the loan leaving
$2,750,000 still to be paid back to
the counties.
The deduction of this $250,000 to
be applied on the Counties' loan
reduces the total of the 83 counties' total payments from the* First
Quarter Motor Vehicle Highway
Fund to $9,877,101.28,
Following are the amounts Some
Counties, Cities and Incorporated
Villages Will receive from, the
Third Quarter Motor Vehicle Highway collections:
Clare County, $49,161.86; Gladwin county, $43,039.21; Isabella
county, $77,815.77: Osceola county,
$52,858.44. \ - .

Thursday's electric power shut-

City firemen and officials kept
crossed fingers during the long afternoon hours lest- a serious fire
should pull heavily on the only

the-mighty Cheboygan ball club
20-6 Friday, October 30, on Cheboygan's field.
Cheboygan's all-state candidate,
Tom McGinn, gave Clare's defense
plenty of trouble all night.
The great defensive work of ehds
Mark Ruark and Ron Garthe, again
proved a deciding factor in the vic-
itory as. it has many times this season.

training during the whole season by
coaches George Perry and Don
Richardson paid off in almost per?
