Science Lesson Goals
In Elementary School
Include Creativeness
Mrs, Blanche Glebel, the fun-
loving fourth grade teacher at- the
Clare public school, writes about
science learning at the intermediate level. Mrs. Glebel manages an
excellent rapport with all of her
students and stimulates much
thought and experimentation in
these early science classes she
teaches.
We begin to teacli science when
•we do not insist on answers from
the children, but help .them to recognize questions or problems
which need, answering according
to their own age and ability levels.
When children are taught to approach these problems with a
scientific attitude of, "Let's find
out", the environment becomes a
great laboratory where we look,
and. see and do and wonder. In
such a manner does scientific inquiry begin.
Experiences in science in this
"kind of setting are a source of enjoyment and provide for rich
leisure time activity; stimulates
reading; teach kindness and
sportsmanship; conservation of all
our resources; and an appreciation of the world and universe in
which we live.
Science in the upper elementary
grades involves many kinds of activities, in fact can call upon all
of the skills the child is learning
in his other studies. As an
example, one science project can
involve trips to study and secure
specimens, reading for information, writing reports and letters,
artwork and other forms of creative expression, short talks and
discussions, handicraft and manual arts in building and outfitting
cages, feeding stations, and so
forth, figuring and working with
numbers, in fact can run the entire gamut of skills.
- Basic in science study is development of the inquiring attitude
and the problem-solving approach.
Science learning at this level will
include the observation and study
of insects, fish, reptiles, birds,
flowers, trees, soil, conservation,
weather and climate, seasons, solar system, radio, television, health
and many other topics brought in
by students.
Science centers are set up in
the classroom to initiate and stimulate interest and activity in the
field of science. The materials in
the center are changed' to meet
the evolving needs and interests
of the class as the school term
progresses. The center must appeal to many different interests
and abilities in order that all children may participate and find
some stimulus in the center to begin to solve problems.
"AA" Invites

Sister Of
Lloyd Conley
Hurt Sunday
Lloyd Conley. Instrumental
Music Instructor at Clare schools

her home at Rogers City last
Sunday. She lost a leg as a result
of the tragic mishap.

riding the sled at the time but
Was not injured.

Movie On
Scouting
Shown Rotary
A scouting program entertained
Rotarians' Wednesday noon at
their lunch meeting when a motion picture, made at Camp Rotary north of Clare, was shown.
Special guests were Scout leader's: Cliff Musson and Willard Hoover from Lake George; Bert May-
nard and' Byron Maynard from
tav/ell; Bob Beck and Jack Roda-
baugh from Clare.
The film and the Scout leaders
were introduced by Harold Schaeffer, a member of the Clare County Council for BSA, -and Rotary
program chairman,
A science center set up in the
fall may include-items like these:
rocks, to show different formations, weathering, fossils and the
like; cocoons and crysillis; sun
and shadow records; insects,
snails, fish, toads, turtles and
plants; seeds; leaves; science pictures; science newspaper stories;
related books; science vocabulary;
miniature gardens; aquariums;
terrariums; scrapbooks and collections; observations and study of
bird migrations and many others.
Truly, as the world becomes
more of a technical place in which
tp live and work, science becomes
a more important phase of the
complete learning activity in the
schools and the homes.
The child should be encouraged
to question' and to wonder and to
attack a problem to find out why?
This, we are attempting to initiate
in the science studies ,in your elementary school.

ent location in Clare following the

Damoth took over his insurance
business in .1936. At that time, j

'54 'Toe Hold'
Gained For
Straits Span
The 1954 construction season for
the Mackinac Bridge came to a
halt this week as the contractor
towed his marine equipment into
harbor for the winter, said Prentiss M. Brown, Chairman of the
Mackinac Bridge Authority.
Mr. Brown expressed the Authority's satisfaction with the accomplishments of the Merritt-
Cliapman & Scott Corporation, responsible for getting a "toe-hold"
in*the Straits with 33 underwater
piers, especially the six huge
foundations which will support
the main center span of the bridge.
"When you consider that the
Contractor did not get his go-ahead
signal until February 17, 1954, it
becomes, apparent that the work
accomplished during the past ten
months in the face of a great many
odds ha.s been something short of
miraculous," said the chairman.
The contractors remained on the
job until January 15 when the
Straits froze over.
According to Brown the major
1954 aims of the consulting engineers, the D. B. Steinman firm of
New York and the contractor,
have been fulfilled.
"With the end of the first construction season, we find that all
work on the Mackinac Bridge
scheduled for the season has been
substantially completed," wrote
Dr. Steinman in a letter report to
the Authority.
Their main objective was to
complete the six suspension span
foundations so that they would' be
ready to receive structural steel
next summer. This has been accomplished. Dr.. Steinman reported through his project managei',
Herbert Goodkind:
"We, as your consulting engineers, feel that a most remai-kable
job has been done by the contractors during this first season and
that the delays encountered were
far less than is common on other
similar projects. We are still maintaining our original schedule and
plan 'to have the bridge open to
traffic on or before November 1,
1857."

At Colonville
Burn Tuesday
A barn filled with 100 tons of
hay burned to the ground Tuesday
afternoon, in a fire of unknown
origin, % mile south of Colonville.
. The building was owned by
Aaron McReynolds, of Alma. There
was $2,000 of insurance on the
barn. .
The hay in it was owned by Elmer Benchley. He had lived on the
farm until late last fall, and had
recently been hauling hay out of
the barn.
The Clare Fire Department was
called out, but the barn was already so far gone when they arrived that nothing could be done. A
small shed and a wagon burned,
also. Firemen stayed to see that
no other buildings caught fire.

Cage Season
Half Over,
Pioneers 4th
By Bill Siel and
Dick Fancon
of The CHS'Pioneer Staff
Clare dropped to fourth place in
the Mid-Michigan B Conference
basketball race after the team lost
a close contest to Ithaca by a 58-55
score on the Yellowjackets' floor
January 21. A later loss to Mt.
Pleasant did not affect Clare's
league standings.
Ithaca in winning moved into a
tie for first place in the conference as a result of Chesaning's
rqut of the St. Louis Five.
The Clare contest which at first
appeared to be a rout for the
Yellowjacket quintet, tightened in
the third and fourth quarters
with the Pioneers outscoring their
opponents 32-23 in the second half.
The score at the- end of the'iirsi
quarter showed Ithaca out in front
26-17. The Blue and Gold stretched their lead to take a 35-23 half-
time lead.
The Pioneers came back strong
in the second half outscoring Ithaca 16-10 in the third quarter and
16-13 in the final period. The effort, however, fell short and the
Green and White absorbed their
4th defeat of the season against
3 wins.
High scorers for the game were
Jack Arnold and John Roducha of
Ithaca with 23 and 19 points respectively, while, for Clare Jerry
Fullerton with 16, Pete Brown
with 13 and Bill Siel with 12 wfere
high.
Oilers Down Clare 71*51
The Green and White dropped
their fourth game in a row last
Tuesday night, January 24, on the
home court to their neighbors to
the south by a 20 point margin.
The powerful Mt. Pleasant
squad, previously ranked second
Class B in the state, wasted little
time in winning their ninth game
of the season, jumping to a 31-14
first-quarter lead.
The Pioneers could not hold the
Oilers down in the second quarter
and. were outscored 21-11 to fall
behind 52-25 at halftkne.
The Pioneer five outscored the
Oilers in the second half 26-19,
which in itself was n.ot too great
an accomplishment as the Mt.
Pleasant coach substituted frequently.
The contest left Mt. Pleasant!
-with a 9-1 season's record and|
Clare with a 3-5. j
Fred Miller led Clare with 14,
points,  followed by  Pete  Brown
with 13 and Jerry Fullerton with
