To Coleman
In Third Loss
*Clai*e' High School's 'Pioneers
waged a courageous .battle against
their own, fourth period "jinx",
and a tall Coleman basketball
team last Tuesday evening, and
emerged* the losers on the short
end of the 47-39 -score.
The. game was much closer than
the final tally indicates and provided tense excitement with Clare
leading by pnly one point at half-
time, 20-19, ahd trailing by a scant
.two-point margin at the end of the
third period, 33-31.
Tough breaks in the final quarter, together with faulty Pioneer
ball-handling and passing, allowed
the Coleman quintet to control the
ball and draw, away in the scoring.
Individual star for Clare was
Kyle Hanley who led the team in
scoring with 11 points and played
an alert, scrappy defensive game.
Despite three straight losses,
Coach Teixiera and the team* are
confident they will get into winning
%ays When they return to the familiar confines of their home court.
All three losses have come in
tough away-from-home games.
Tonight, Friday, the team plays
St. ^Louis' at home and some enthusiastic local support may provide the spark for the team's first
victory.
Notice!
All advertising and news copy

Winter Driving
Can Be Safe**
Don't Spti&YuH
Winter driving ,c"ah be: safe . by
being sensible ahout it.        '
That's the statemejit made by
Sergeant Miltoh, Swingle, commaii-
der of • the/Mt. *. Peasant post of
the- Michigan StateJPolice, in calling attention to the jlact that December is one ■ bf -the deadliest
months of the-year,-   *      f     '..'•*
"Don't spoE yptir holiday's With
an avoidable -accident", 'Sergt.
Swindle said. ."By.following a half
dozen winter driving suggestions
yOu can greatly increase your safety. The trouble is, too many drivers don't do these things and that
is a h'ig reason' for* the. startling
record ^that during December of.
the last five years nearly 800 persons have been killed and another
20,000 injured on Michigan highways. •
"If one.driver follows these tips
he will help to protect himself and
% 10^n0U P-m"   o]ver^rae 1NO,oi'  -others, but he will' still be at the
22'_^c£or™lc*-  ,2,4'.,B°we^ .??•   mercy of the driver who doesn't.
So all drivers should think enough
of each other and pedestrians to-
cooperate in the suggestions and
cut'down the winter driving traffic toll".
Here are the tips: >
1. Be prepared to meet ariy situation oh'the road.
2. Get the <!feel" of the road. Try
brakes occasionally while driving
slowly and away from traffic. Find
