"Michigan's new forest king —

tlie family of trees just a few short
years ago.
As late as 1949, aspen was considered practically worthless by
Revive
Plans For
Lake In City
Clare Rod and Gun Club mem-
"bers are picking up the loose ends
of the oft* proposed plan to back
up the water of the Tobacco river
and create again a lake on the site
of Clare's old millpond.
After a survey last summer in
which the club • determined: that
public opinion was enthusiastic in
favor of the project, preliminary
plans have been started to get a
proposition on an election ballot
for Clare voters to give a green
light to the project.
The Clare City Commission has
been told that flooding of the lake
trnsin and creation of a residential
area of the surrounding acres is
regarded as a self-supporting venture which would cost city taxpayers nothing. Approval of Clare
voters would have to be obtained
because the land is city property.
Tlie Rod and Gun Club enters the
picture through its interest in reviving the beauty and usefulness of
this natural park and residential
spot. The lake created by the restoration of the dam on the river
would be an ideal recreation and
fishing spot, club memb_rs feel.
As the lake-flooding project takes
shape now, it includes the use of
land in section 26 of Grant township within the limits of the city.
Location of the proposed lake is
immediately north of Foell's subdivision and figuring in the plans
are residential building lots in a
subdivision northeast of the lake
shore, and continuing around the
water. Public beaches have been
advocated as the means of'insuring
full use of the lake by lot owners
and the general public as."well. •*■
Clean beaches and public fishing
sites are considered of first importance to the success of the project and are assured in present
prelimih-ary sketches.
One hundred and twenty eight
Clare citizens answered questions
in last summer's survey, and all
except one indicated favor for the
idea. In addition to this favorable
response, Rod and Gun Club members were pleased to note that more
than 60 persons out of the 128
showed interest in buying or leasing lots for the building of permanent homes at the shore, or near the
lake to be created.
New Look
In Lobby At
Citizens Bank
Following remodelling during
past weeks, the Citizens' State
Bank has come out With 8x16 feet
more lobby and a new blue-grey
paint job on the walls.
A partition removed near the
front door is being replaced with
a mahogany finish and glass room
divider, creates a new office, ana
cuts much of the cold wind that
once came in each time the dool
opened.
The remodelling was done primarily to obtain the additional lob
by room.
lumbermen, Today, the bulk of
Michigan's timber products come
from the common "popple". New
pulp processes and forest management programs have brought the
change.
Apen at present is one of the
most .common trees in northern
Michigan and 250,000 cords were
harvested from northern, lower
peninsula forest alone in the last
fiscal year.
In Clare, The Watervliet Paper
Company has acquired a 60-acre
piece of land not quite a mile west
of the stockyards corners where
the company plans to receive and
process popple -wood for shipment
to the paper manufacturing plant
in Watervliet.
John Hanson, '-chief forester for
the firm and local representative
said recently that the company is
awaiting delivery of equipment for
peeling, or "debarking" bolts in a
plant to be built on the laud here.
Located between old tIS-10 and
the C & O railroad, the plant is to
be accessible from highway and
rail, both.
The Watervliet firm announced
the choice of Clare for their plant
location, last fall ater complete
studies of the state's popple availability pointed to this area as the
most advantageous choice. Several
tentative agreements with wOod
cutters have already been made by
Hanson, and an announcement is
to he published soon concerning
variety and condition of wood
wanted, and delivery site and
prices paid, he said.
In terms of money, aspen boosts
the northern Michigan economy by
more than $15,000,000 annually and
places the state in a prominent position among timber states.
A variety of products, including
containers, pulp, paper, lumber,
excelsior and wallboard is born in
aspen stands.
The state's deer herd also benefits from the growth and management of aspen. The average full-
grown deer needs five to seven
pounds of browse (buds, leaves,
twigs) daily and. aspen cuttings
supply a large share of this food,
especially during winter months
when starvation threatens. Timbering operations leave tops and
limbs of trees on the ground to
supply winter rationa for the white
tails. About -OiOOO. acres of these
'cuttings "were"made "in and near
deeryards last year.

New Forest King
Two northern Michigan lumberjacks fell' another aspen
(popple), the tree "which occupies a top position in the
State's forest economy, and is rapidly becoming one of the
most valuable resources in the Clare area. The aspen, once
shunned- in favor of pines and hardwoods in timbering
operations, now supplies all of this area's limber products
and is a valuable source of deer food* Some 250,000 cords
of aspen were taken from north^ lower peninsula forests

THURSDAY JANUARY, 12, 1958 Aspen Crop Helps Tag MichiganAsTimberState "Michigan's new forest king — aspen — was a poor relative in tlie family of trees just a few short years ago. As late as 1949, aspen was considered practically worthless by Revive Plans For Lake In City Clare Rod and Gun Club mem- "bers are picking up the loose ends of the oft* proposed plan to back up the water of the Tobacco river and create again a lake on the site of Clare's old millpond. After a survey last summer in which the club • determined: that public opinion was enthusiastic in favor of the project, preliminary plans have been started to get a proposition on an election ballot for Clare voters to give a green light to the project. The Clare City Commission has been told that flooding of the lake trnsin and creation of a residential area of the surrounding acres is regarded as a self-supporting venture which would cost city taxpayers nothing. Approval of Clare voters would have to be obtained because the land is city property. Tlie Rod and Gun Club enters the picture through its interest in reviving the beauty and usefulness of this natural park and residential spot. The lake created by the restoration of the dam on the river would be an ideal recreation and fishing spot, club memb_rs feel. As the lake-flooding project takes shape now, it includes the use of land in section 26 of Grant township within the limits of the city. Location of the proposed lake is immediately north of Foell's subdivision and figuring in the plans are residential building lots in a subdivision northeast of the lake shore, and continuing around the water. Public beaches have been advocated as the means of'insuring full use of the lake by lot owners and the general public as."well. •*■ Clean beaches and public fishing sites are considered of first importance to the success of the project and are assured in present prelimih-ary sketches. One hundred and twenty eight Clare citizens answered questions in last summer's survey, and all except one indicated favor for the idea. In addition to this favorable response, Rod and Gun Club members were pleased to note that more than 60 persons out of the 128 showed interest in buying or leasing lots for the building of permanent homes at the shore, or near the lake to be created. New Look In Lobby At Citizens Bank Following remodelling during past weeks, the Citizens' State Bank has come out With 8x16 feet more lobby and a new blue-grey paint job on the walls. A partition removed near the front door is being replaced with a mahogany finish and glass room divider, creates a new office, ana cuts much of the cold wind that once came in each time the dool opened. The remodelling was done primarily to obtain the additional lob by room. lumbermen, Today, the bulk of Michigan's timber products come from the common "popple". New pulp processes and forest management programs have brought the change. Apen at present is one of the most .common trees in northern Michigan and 250,000 cords were harvested from northern, lower peninsula forest alone in the last fiscal year. In Clare, The Watervliet Paper Company has acquired a 60-acre piece of land not quite a mile west of the stockyards corners where the company plans to receive and process popple -wood for shipment to the paper manufacturing plant in Watervliet. John Hanson, '-chief forester for the firm and local representative said recently that the company is awaiting delivery of equipment for peeling, or "debarking" bolts in a plant to be built on the laud here. Located between old tIS-10 and the C & O railroad, the plant is to be accessible from highway and rail, both. The Watervliet firm announced the choice of Clare for their plant location, last fall ater complete studies of the state's popple availability pointed to this area as the most advantageous choice. Several tentative agreements with wOod cutters have already been made by Hanson, and an announcement is to he published soon concerning variety and condition of wood wanted, and delivery site and prices paid, he said. In terms of money, aspen boosts the northern Michigan economy by more than $15,000,000 annually and places the state in a prominent position among timber states. A variety of products, including containers, pulp, paper, lumber, excelsior and wallboard is born in aspen stands. The state's deer herd also benefits from the growth and management of aspen. The average full- grown deer needs five to seven pounds of browse (buds, leaves, twigs) daily and. aspen cuttings supply a large share of this food, especially during winter months when starvation threatens. Timbering operations leave tops and limbs of trees on the ground to supply winter rationa for the white tails. About -OiOOO. acres of these 'cuttings "were"made "in and near deeryards last year.
