Charity Bingo
Local Post Honors
15 Past Officers
V.F.W. Posts in the state have
been asked to cooperate in organized drives in their communities
in an effort to legalize charitable
bingo.
State, Commander Joseph H.
Eitzenhein, of Saginaw, is urging
all posts to cooperate on a local
level with agencies which have
started organized moves to legalize bingo or to take the initiative
in the. event communities have not
already started action.
Eitzenhein said he was throwing
the" entire strength of more than
450 V.F.W. posts and 350 Ladies
Auxiliaries behind the move,
Which he said, should lead eventually to a favorable "ballot showdown."
"I don't believe that many person's would argue the benefits derived from proceeds of bingo as
conducted by charitable and patriotic organizations", feitzerihein
said. "I know that our -own organ- •'
ization has given thousands for
community services through monies derived from holding bingo
games. I know the same situation
prevails for many other organizations who conducted games for
worthwhile and charitable causes".
Eitzenhein called for a clarification of the gambling law of the
state.
"There is a definite need for J
statewide unified policy toward the'
enforcement interpretation of gam-
bling".
The V.F.W.'s legislative commit
tee, headed by Merle Hopper, of
Boscommon, has been empowered
to seek legislation which will legalize the controversial game provided it is conducted for charitable
purposes.
On Monday, Nov. 9, the second
potluck of the winter was held at
the Clare VFW Post hall with forty-three persons present.
After partaking of a wonderful
swiss steaw dinner, Commander
Cooper introduced Wm. Kapplinger
who wa^s a special guest for the
evening.
Walt Pettit was unable to be present. It was for their sons who
lost their lives in Worldv War- II
that the post was named whenlt
was organized in 1948.
Commander Cooper gave a short
review of the history of the Post
and Auxiliary. The past officers
are: for 1946 and 47, Elmer (Bud)
Anderson and Nettie Holbrook;
1948, Cleland Green and Genevieve
Pearson; 1949, Arlie Schofield and
Henrietta Verette and Esta Hendershot; 1950, Jack Manee and Esta Hendershot; 1951 Charles Cooper and Threace Werhman and
Lucetta Austin; 1952, Bernard
Tubbs and David Adams and Virginia Hendershot and Clarice Bellows.
Commander Cooper then presented past officer pins to Elmer Anderson, Jack Manee and David
Adams. Past-Presidents present
were Mrs. Esta Hendershot and
Virginia Hendershot.
A citation from the Dept. of
Michigan was presented to Auxiliary President Clarice Bellows by
Commander Cooper for the part
the Auxiliary has taken in the sale
of Buddie Poppies each year.
Other guests preseut were Mrs.
Elizabeth Little and daughter, Mv.
and Mrs. Clair Foss, Mrs. Nancy
Buckley and Mrs. Elsie Bushong
of Mt. Pleasant, and Mr. Lee Mc-
Lain.
The members plan to make the
pet luck of November each year in
honor of the past officers and is
the practice of many posts in the
district,
The next pot luck is December
14, and Will be Christmas party.
At this time it is hoped that we
will have the pictures of the National Home to show.

■have been met with a doubling of
the voltage available".

City Is Moving
To Borrow More
With funds exhausted less than
halfway through the sewer job to
provide a tfUhkline tile irorilthe
disposal plant to the west end of
John E. street, Mayor Howard
Everts asked City Attorney Harold
Hughes to begin action again on
the project to bond the city for
the necessary funds" to complete
the pending projects.
City officials had stopped work
on the bonding proceedure when
they reached a decision early in
the fall, to go ahead with the work
and use money available from the
city treasury.
The decision of the commission
to use funds on hand instead of
waiting through the long borrowing deal was responsible for the
start in the work and the accomplishment of over two thousand'
'■_ feet of tile laying during the dry,
. warm fall season.
Now advancing across- the school
1 athletic field, the cut, is. shallower
and the. work is progressing at a
rate of more than one hundred, feet
per day.
I -Cleo Brink, city engineer on the
job said that Tuesdays total Was
about one hundred feet, and on
.Wednesday the line pushed for-
j ward 1-60 feet, /
j Water in the ditch is reduced to
nearly nothing and if like conditions prevail until the McEwan
street turn is reached, it should
not take longer than ten days to-
arrive there.
Meanwhile, with the pinch for
operating funds being felt the commission and Mayor Everts were
• considering application for a ten-
thousand dollar loan to reinforce
the city's general fund balance.
1 Following a conference with the
Detroit firm helping to arrange the
'sale of the city's bonds, City attorney Hughes told Mayor Everts
that January was the earliest to
expect completion of the sale of
the sewer district bonds.
Game Men See Fewer Antler Shots;
Still Advocate "Any Deer" Herd Control
"Easy Hunting" days have.passed for the Michigan buck deer
hunter.
The new era of tqugher .hunting,
willbe ushered in November 15,
the opening of Michigan's 1953
buck deer season.
The buck kill will be down this
year in the northern lower peninsula, game men say, possibly as
much as 25 percent.
If that's the case, hunters may
have to work harder, stalk longer,
get colder noses and toes before
success comes their way-— if, indeed, it arrives at all.
But while the dyed-in-the-wool
Find Several
De$4 Eteer In
Recent Days
More dead deer have been found
in the northern lower peninsula
during recent days, the conservation department reports, apparently the victims of plant poisoning.
| Hunters earlier reported finding
three dead deer east of Eose City,
two east of Vanderbilt and five in
Missaukee county,
i Since then, other hunters and
(department field -workers located
another east of Eose City, two
more near Vanderbilt, two near
Sharon and three near Bear Lake,
Kalkaska county.
Biologists have examined some
of the deer carcasses at Houghton
Lake experiment station and at the
East Lansing pathology laboratory,
but thus far have found no clear
evidence of the cause of death.
None of the deer had "been injured in any way and no evidence
of infectious disease was found.
All the animals were fat and in excellent physical condition at the
time of death.
Biologists believe,- however, that
death was Caused by plants that
at certain times of the year are
highly poisonous.
Wild cherry leaves, in a wilted
fall condition, are sometimes
strongly poisonous, as are bracken
"ferns" and -certain mushrooms.
Government Day Held
At Harrison November 4
The fifth annual Government
Day Workshop got underway at
9:30 o'clock, Wednesday morning,
November 4th in the gymnasium at
Harrison High School. All seniors
and junior class officers from Far-
well, Clare and Harrison attended.
Eex Terwilliger, president of the
Farwell senior class, welcomed the
students and resource people.
Wiliiam C. Kemp, from Hillsdale
College, acted as organization director and introduced the resource
people following Eex's welcome.
This was followed by short*
speeches on "Why We Should Be
Concerned About Government,"
They were made by people of different levels. Honorable D. Hale
Brake, State. Treasurer, spoke from
tbe state level and Eobert Campbell, Clare County Prosecuting Attorney, was tbe county level'
Speaker. Clare was fortunate in
having both Eichard Wheeler and
Carolyn Carter as the Speakers
from school and student viewpoints.
After these brief speeches, they
held a town meeting. At this
meeting the students asked questions of* the resource men and women which were answered in 'the
best possible way. One of the startling things brought out v/as that
out of 9,000 persons in Clare county ,that.', could give blood; only 35
had done so in the past year. If
this standard is not raised, Ciare
county will not be able to get blood
from thevclinic.
: A round-table discussion was
conducted next in which students
were asked questions by the resource people, An intetestirtg fact
brought out was that about 60% of
the questions were directed ta the
law enforcement group. The town
meeting was brought to a close
and Mr. Kemp introduced the discussion leaders, recorders, and
host or hostesses, in time for the
group to get to the Congregational
Church for lunch at 11:50.
Clare's recorders and discussion
leaders were as follows*. Helen
Cook, Carol Mitchell, Ken Eitter,
Joanne Bates, Mary Eandall, Bertha Stough, Marilyn Brewer, and
Carolyn Carter.
The afternoon meeting settled
down for a good start at 12:40 with
leaders, recorders and resource
people meeting in a group leaders
assembly to plan for the afternoon
.session. At 1:00, groups met in
various rooms and again questions
were asked among the group. The
three best questions and answers
were picked at 2:15, The recorders
brought forth these questions and
answers at another general assembly at 2:30. '
Arthur T. JverSon, Deputy Attorney General at Lansing, closed
the meeting.
Much of the success of the day
•is due to the excellent planning of
committees from attending schools
long before the final date. Planning committees from the three attending schools and their advisors
Were: Carol Bellows, Eex Terwilliger, Farwell; Elsie DeBarr, Bill
Skinner, Harrison; Carolyn Carter
-and Mary Eandall, Clare. Their
advisors were Eicbard Wheeler,
Thomas Campbell, Charles Amble
and "Willis Gelston.
CHS Humbled
Again 19-0
By Gladwin
A first-quarter surge which carried Gladwin down the field and
over the- Clare goal was good for a
touchdown and a six-point head
start which the Pioneers never
overcame last Friday night, ,.
True, the Qlare team made a
heartening goal-line stand which:
held on the one-yard line and turned Gladwin back for the moment..
And true enough? the first Gladwin-
score was the result of a lucky
recovery of a loose ball in Clare's-
end zone . . . but the big Blue and
»White team had arrived in a well-,
earned scoring position, and would-;
n't have been denied.
After scoreless second and third
periods, Gladwin piled on thirteen
more points in the game's dying
moments . . just to show they
weren't footfri'. The final score was,
a shutout. Clare 0, Gladwin 19,
On the green turf of Gladwin's'
field or Clar's own 'gridiron, the
husky, boys from the neighboring
county seem to have the "Indian
sign" on the local eleven.
Gladwin's team,, charging faster
in the line, and threatening with
backfield versatility took advan-
take of their own atrial superiority, and two important Vtete, beb-.
bles to account for the victory,
Perry's men, meanwhile, were
handicapped by the loss of starting
Quarterback Earl Eobinette Who
sidelined in the first half with a
leg injury.
Earl had been counted on to do
most of Clare's passing after tremendous improvemept and a good
showing for himself in the Cheboygan game.
A close-up of the scoring plays:*
Gladwin scored first on a
"freak" play when their pass, into
Clare's end zone was intercepted
and then fumbled by Norris Bay.
An Alert Gladwin player recovered
for the TD.
The Gs second score came with
ah off tackle slant from inside
Clare's twelve-yard line. A pass
was good for the extra point.
Late in the fourth quarter Glad*
Unusual entertainment was provided by the*CMS Band at between
the-halVes time, when the music
makers depicted "Dances" from
early Indian Fire Dances to present-day square dances.
Members of the, band made figures of a huge "fiddle" for the
square dance. A twenty-yard long
bow sawed on the strings While the
band played Turkey in The Straw.
Another scene portrayed the Minuet dance with lanes of partners
forty-five yards long, and dancing
majorettes. " v
-win again capitalized, on a Clare
miscue as the Pioneer backfield
got their signals crossed and Gladwin's right tackle ran twenty-five
yards with a Kile Hanley pitch out.
That ended the scoring. T
insert football story Mk
Clare's leading scorer of the season was Senior halfback, Norris
Bay with five touchdowns.
Clare's opponents during the
season scored 75 points while they
were picking up 8B. Clare endea
the season with a 5-2-1 record,
which is very impressive in very
tough competition.
Coach Perry and his assistants
should be given some well deserved compliments for the way
they handled the team.

there will be fewer f prtunate
hunters who will take home prige
racks of antlers in the future. "
' This : year, for example,", game
men say the buck kill will be down
considerably, from last year.
At the same time, -they expect
the total kill of all deer, including

to be as high or higher than the
total actual deer kill in 1951r—the
last year when only- ahtlered'-bueks
were legal game. -.The" special .season this year, .is .slated December

time, • .'",,.- .'"-■,
Last year, hunters! took 31,000
legal bucks in.the northern louver-
peninsula during the-November l£>;

But then during the special- sea*
son, about- 25,000 additional buck
fawns were taken, the" youngsters
that will this year,be absent from
the buck crop.- .,-,"'
, Meanwhile, buck hunting, is expected to be, about* the; same or
somewhat better in the "upper peninsula this year. ''
Game men" say checks made this
fall indicate the UP herd has come
back somewhaf from its loss to
starvation during the winter of
1951-52. Also, two "open" winters
of light snowfall have followed
the severe 1951-52 period, with
deer able to find sufficient food
and thus escape further starvation.

NOVEMBER 13, 1953 $2,50 Y.ar In Michigan New Series, Vol. 62, No. 8 7 VFW Opens Drive To-OK* * Charity Bingo Local Post Honors 15 Past Officers V.F.W. Posts in the state have been asked to cooperate in organized drives in their communities in an effort to legalize charitable bingo. State, Commander Joseph H. Eitzenhein, of Saginaw, is urging all posts to cooperate on a local level with agencies which have started organized moves to legalize bingo or to take the initiative in the. event communities have not already started action. Eitzenhein said he was throwing the" entire strength of more than 450 V.F.W. posts and 350 Ladies Auxiliaries behind the move, Which he said, should lead eventually to a favorable "ballot showdown." "I don't believe that many person's would argue the benefits derived from proceeds of bingo as conducted by charitable and patriotic organizations", feitzerihein said. "I know that our -own organ- •' ization has given thousands for community services through monies derived from holding bingo games. I know the same situation prevails for many other organizations who conducted games for worthwhile and charitable causes". Eitzenhein called for a clarification of the gambling law of the state. "There is a definite need for J statewide unified policy toward the' enforcement interpretation of gam- bling". The V.F.W.'s legislative commit tee, headed by Merle Hopper, of Boscommon, has been empowered to seek legislation which will legalize the controversial game provided it is conducted for charitable purposes. On Monday, Nov. 9, the second potluck of the winter was held at the Clare VFW Post hall with forty-three persons present. After partaking of a wonderful swiss steaw dinner, Commander Cooper introduced Wm. Kapplinger who wa^s a special guest for the evening. Walt Pettit was unable to be present. It was for their sons who lost their lives in Worldv War- II that the post was named whenlt was organized in 1948. Commander Cooper gave a short review of the history of the Post and Auxiliary. The past officers are: for 1946 and 47, Elmer (Bud) Anderson and Nettie Holbrook; 1948, Cleland Green and Genevieve Pearson; 1949, Arlie Schofield and Henrietta Verette and Esta Hendershot; 1950, Jack Manee and Esta Hendershot; 1951 Charles Cooper and Threace Werhman and Lucetta Austin; 1952, Bernard Tubbs and David Adams and Virginia Hendershot and Clarice Bellows. Commander Cooper then presented past officer pins to Elmer Anderson, Jack Manee and David Adams. Past-Presidents present were Mrs. Esta Hendershot and Virginia Hendershot. A citation from the Dept. of Michigan was presented to Auxiliary President Clarice Bellows by Commander Cooper for the part the Auxiliary has taken in the sale of Buddie Poppies each year. Other guests preseut were Mrs. Elizabeth Little and daughter, Mv. and Mrs. Clair Foss, Mrs. Nancy Buckley and Mrs. Elsie Bushong of Mt. Pleasant, and Mr. Lee Mc- Lain. The members plan to make the pet luck of November each year in honor of the past officers and is the practice of many posts in the district, The next pot luck is December 14, and Will be Christmas party. At this time it is hoped that we will have the pictures of the National Home to show. 90th Birthday Signals Parties for Mrs. Dunn Mrs. Elizabeth Dunn, a resident of Isabella township for seventy- four years celebrated her birthday on November 2 after Teaching the proverbial age of "four score and ten".

The program started Tuesday at Michigan State College with a membership building conference which was expected to draw several thousand persons.

City officials had stopped work on the bonding proceedure when they reached a decision early in the fall, to go ahead with the work and use money available from the city treasury. The decision of the commission to use funds on hand instead of waiting through the long borrowing deal was responsible for the start in the work and the accomplishment of over two thousand' '■_ feet of tile laying during the dry, . warm fall season. Now advancing across- the school 1 athletic field, the cut, is. shallower and the. work is progressing at a rate of more than one hundred, feet per day. I -Cleo Brink, city engineer on the job said that Tuesdays total Was about one hundred feet, and on .Wednesday the line pushed for- j ward 1-60 feet, / j Water in the ditch is reduced to nearly nothing and if like conditions prevail until the McEwan street turn is reached, it should not take longer than ten days to- arrive there. Meanwhile, with the pinch for operating funds being felt the commission and Mayor Everts were • considering application for a ten- thousand dollar loan to reinforce the city's general fund balance. 1 Following a conference with the Detroit firm helping to arrange the 'sale of the city's bonds, City attorney Hughes told Mayor Everts that January was the earliest to expect completion of the sale of the sewer district bonds. Game Men See Fewer Antler Shots; Still Advocate "Any Deer" Herd Control "Easy Hunting" days have.passed for the Michigan buck deer hunter. The new era of tqugher .hunting, willbe ushered in November 15, the opening of Michigan's 1953 buck deer season. The buck kill will be down this year in the northern lower peninsula, game men say, possibly as much as 25 percent. If that's the case, hunters may have to work harder, stalk longer, get colder noses and toes before success comes their way-— if, indeed, it arrives at all. But while the dyed-in-the-wool Find Several De$4 Eteer In Recent Days More dead deer have been found in the northern lower peninsula during recent days, the conservation department reports, apparently the victims of plant poisoning. Hunters earlier reported finding three dead deer east of Eose City, two east of Vanderbilt and five in Missaukee county, i Since then, other hunters and (department field -workers located another east of Eose City, two more near Vanderbilt, two near Sharon and three near Bear Lake, Kalkaska county. Biologists have examined some of the deer carcasses at Houghton Lake experiment station and at the East Lansing pathology laboratory, but thus far have found no clear evidence of the cause of death. None of the deer had "been injured in any way and no evidence of infectious disease was found. All the animals were fat and in excellent physical condition at the time of death. Biologists believe,- however, that death was Caused by plants that at certain times of the year are highly poisonous. Wild cherry leaves, in a wilted fall condition, are sometimes strongly poisonous, as are bracken "ferns" and -certain mushrooms. Government Day Held At Harrison November 4 The fifth annual Government Day Workshop got underway at 9:30 o'clock, Wednesday morning, November 4th in the gymnasium at Harrison High School. All seniors and junior class officers from Far- well, Clare and Harrison attended. Eex Terwilliger, president of the Farwell senior class, welcomed the students and resource people. Wiliiam C. Kemp, from Hillsdale College, acted as organization director and introduced the resource people following Eex's welcome. This was followed by short* speeches on "Why We Should Be Concerned About Government" They were made by people of different levels. Honorable D. Hale Brake, State. Treasurer, spoke from tbe state level and Eobert Campbell, Clare County Prosecuting Attorney, was tbe county level' Speaker. Clare was fortunate in having both Eichard Wheeler and Carolyn Carter as the Speakers from school and student viewpoints. After these brief speeches, they held a town meeting. At this meeting the students asked questions of* the resource men and women which were answered in 'the best possible way. One of the startling things brought out v/as that out of 9,000 persons in Clare county ,that.', could give blood; only 35 had done so in the past year. If this standard is not raised, Ciare county will not be able to get blood from thevclinic. : A round-table discussion was conducted next in which students were asked questions by the resource people, An intetestirtg fact brought out was that about 60% of the questions were directed ta the law enforcement group. The town meeting was brought to a close and Mr. Kemp introduced the discussion leaders, recorders, and host or hostesses, in time for the group to get to the Congregational Church for lunch at 11:50. Clare's recorders and discussion leaders were as follows*. Helen Cook, Carol Mitchell, Ken Eitter, Joanne Bates, Mary Eandall, Bertha Stough, Marilyn Brewer, and Carolyn Carter. The afternoon meeting settled down for a good start at 12:40 with leaders, recorders and resource people meeting in a group leaders assembly to plan for the afternoon .session. At 1:00, groups met in various rooms and again questions were asked among the group. The three best questions and answers were picked at 2:15, The recorders brought forth these questions and answers at another general assembly at 2:30. ' Arthur T. JverSon, Deputy Attorney General at Lansing, closed the meeting. Much of the success of the day •is due to the excellent planning of committees from attending schools long before the final date. Planning committees from the three attending schools and their advisors Were: Carol Bellows, Eex Terwilliger, Farwell; Elsie DeBarr, Bill Skinner, Harrison; Carolyn Carter -and Mary Eandall, Clare. Their advisors were Eicbard Wheeler, Thomas Campbell, Charles Amble and "Willis Gelston. CHS Humbled Again 19-0 By Gladwin A first-quarter surge which carried Gladwin down the field and over the- Clare goal was good for a touchdown and a six-point head start which the Pioneers never overcame last Friday night, ,. True, the Qlare team made a heartening goal-line stand which: held on the one-yard line and turned Gladwin back for the moment.. And true enough? the first Gladwin- score was the result of a lucky recovery of a loose ball in Clare's- end zone . . . but the big Blue and »White team had arrived in a well-, earned scoring position, and would-; n't have been denied. After scoreless second and third periods, Gladwin piled on thirteen more points in the game's dying moments . . just to show they weren't footfri'. The final score was, a shutout. Clare 0, Gladwin 19, On the green turf of Gladwin's' field or Clar's own 'gridiron, the husky, boys from the neighboring county seem to have the "Indian sign" on the local eleven. Gladwin's team,, charging faster in the line, and threatening with backfield versatility took advan- take of their own atrial superiority, and two important Vtete, beb-. bles to account for the victory, Perry's men, meanwhile, were handicapped by the loss of starting Quarterback Earl Eobinette Who sidelined in the first half with a leg injury. Earl had been counted on to do most of Clare's passing after tremendous improvemept and a good showing for himself in the Cheboygan game. A close-up of the scoring plays:* Gladwin scored first on a "freak" play when their pass, into Clare's end zone was intercepted and then fumbled by Norris Bay. An Alert Gladwin player recovered for the TD. The Gs second score came with ah off tackle slant from inside Clare's twelve-yard line. A pass was good for the extra point. Late in the fourth quarter Glad* Unusual entertainment was provided by the*CMS Band at between the-halVes time, when the music makers depicted "Dances" from early Indian Fire Dances to present-day square dances. Members of the, band made figures of a huge "fiddle" for the square dance. A twenty-yard long bow sawed on the strings While the band played Turkey in The Straw. Another scene portrayed the Minuet dance with lanes of partners forty-five yards long, and dancing majorettes. " v -win again capitalized, on a Clare miscue as the Pioneer backfield got their signals crossed and Gladwin's right tackle ran twenty-five yards with a Kile Hanley pitch out. That ended the scoring. T insert football story Mk Clare's leading scorer of the season was Senior halfback, Norris Bay with five touchdowns. Clare's opponents during the season scored 75 points while they were picking up 8B. Clare endea the season with a 5-2-1 record, which is very impressive in very tough competition. Coach Perry and his assistants should be given some well deserved compliments for the way they handled the team. Charles Little Sentenced In Circuit Court * Charles Little was- sentenced- by Judge Donald E, Holbrook "in Circuit Court November 2 on a morals charge, after pleading guilty in Circuit Court July 10.
