Most of Us Want
To Be Shown
When counting the right and wrong answers to some of
the questions -asked-in Clare interviewing recently in the
process of .The Michigan Communications Study, "DK
seems to represent an important part of our citizenry.
Forty-four persons, (58%) of the cross section in the poll
were "DK's" on the question, "How many pupils go to your
High School?". .
"How many members are there on your school board? ,
drew a 43% "DK" response!
Almost one-fourth. (24%) of the total population of
Clare is classified "DK" on the query. "Who Is The Superintendent of our School?"
"DK" is Dpn't Know . . . yes, rather a high percentage of
persons confess ignorance'on many questions,, (fact questions) in the realm of school administration and education.
_ Nobody knows' who the "DK's" are. Individual responses
and names (ind scores of persons interviewed were not
sought in the study recently attempted.in .Clare.
But the percentage of Don't Know answers IS important,
-we think, because it indicates a willingness to be informed.
It isn't important what any one person ihinks or
knows anyway! Figures were compiled, afidr- an' impartial survey to find out what citizens as a GROUP are
thinking. What sort of information their'opinions and
judgements are based upon, and where citizens obtain
this information.
In case you are tuning-in late, (some may have, missed
the pieces which opened this series of articles) the whole
project of this question-and-answer business is called the
Michigan Communications Study.
Sponsorjed by Michigan State College and the Michigan
Press Assn., the study is attempting to measure the amount
of knowledge which CITIZEN GROUPS have concerning
certain subjects, — and from where this information is obtained.
Just so we neVer have to answer "Don't Know" again on
one question anyway, here is the correct answer to "Who
Runs Our Schools?"  • . -
Elected representatives of the people on the Board of Education number five.      ' ~
Harold Hughes is president and has been on the board
since 1953 when he replaced Leo Brown.
' Richard Groves is vice president since 1952 when he was
elected. Dr. C Neff is secretary and Earl Ruby is treasurer,
both have served since 1948. Dr. K. Hammerberg is trustee
since his election in" 1953*

»*■:
From M. D. Merry* Hudson, Wisconsin: It was my fortune while
living in Montana to meet an aged
miner, who told me many stories
of his miming life. He had gone to
California at the time of the gold
rush in 1848.
Being disappointeji, he and a
party of twenty treked overland
to Southwestern Montana, where
it was reported that gold could- be
picked up on the hills,
They made their camp at what
later   became   Bannack.   .Results
were satisfactory, except for large
brown rats, fearless-things, which
.l   scampered across tables at meal-
.J   time and crawled into beds at night.
They decided the only remedy
was cats, so two men took the wagon they had bought in California
and started for the settlement in
Idaho. They had no trouble getting cats, but their wagon upset
on the way back and they lost half'
. cf their load.
On arriving in Bannack, they
were hailed with delight. An auction' was held and the cats were
paid for in gold  dust,  bringing  a
nice   profit  to  the  promoters,

From Mrs, George W. Burden,
Saginaw, Michigan: I remember as
a -young girl during the depression,
I hated mill.. My two nephews and,
I would secretly make coffee and
drink it with mill, so-.we would
not have to lie when asked if we
'8 were drinking our milk. Grown
folks' didn't think so. but we chil-
dren knew how hard it wa3 for
mother to keep our tummies filled
during depression. .,

The new design pictured above in the architect's sketch, was originated and is being
installed under the direction of Miller Industries, Reed City. It provides a center entrance
and two windows opening a -view of the entire interior of the store. A marquee-type projection over ihe street will provide location for .indirect lighiing. and will also mark the
level of the ceiling, inside the building. It will make awningsf unnecessary,* Future developments will include a lighted sign as appears in fhe sketch, and interior modernization.

To Explain
Road Safety
Next Monday night on April 19
the Mt. Vernon Grange will have
an officer from the Mt. Pleasant
State Police Post present to talk
on Highway Safety and to discuss
highway problems.
"A fine, live discussion was had
last meeting on this topic, now
let's hear- from someone who.
knows," said Harold Brooks, lecturer.   "
Come and bring another Granger or friend. This is also birthday
night with a pot luck lunch..,
Let's have a crowd and show
our speaker we appreciate "his efforts."
All degree team members were
urged to be present to practice
drill work as the team goes ,to Arcadia Grange, on Friday night,
'April 20.
Widespread interest will attend
the April 24 general trout season
opening in Michigan when anglers
will.. _av.e.._ their. lirst try against
"trained" hateJiefy-raised trout.
Large numbers of trout at "Wolf
Lake hatchery have been taught
that the way to a long, happy life
is to avoid predators and other pitfalls that often have meant the
downfall -of untrained fish.
In the past, trout were raised" in
ponds and greeted every shadow
6n the water as a promise of food.
One complaint about such fish
was that they were" too easy to
catch. Also, tests showed that they
did not, in general, increase trout
productivity.
TO-lick these problems, the training program was set up last fall
under a conservation department
contract with Psychological Research Services, an independent
consulting group.
Tbe fish have been conditioned
to feed at night, to avoid humans
and bird predators and to live as
they would have to under stream
conditions. A number of the trained fish have been released in recent ■'months in several lower peninsula streams.
Check-ups conducted on trained
trout through the winter months
have indicated that trained rainbows have a**-" higher survival rate
than either native or untrained
hatchery rainbows.
. Tests also have shown that legal-
length brook trout are inferior, in
learning ability, to' rainbows ol
similar size. There are some indi-

cations that survival of brook

is started at an early age.
"While full appraisal of training
practices will come in future
months, one valuable side develop,
ment has already been achieved.
Department fisheries workers believe a mechanical feeding device,
devolped to aid in the training procedures, will, lead to greater economy and efficiency in routine trout
culture.

Full House
For Pageant
The Easter pageant, which is1 a
story of the Passion of our Lord,
was presented for "the sixth time
last Sunday evening in the Clare
high school auditorium to a full
house. The fact that people come
year after year in such large numbers to see this beautiful and impressive portrayal of the events
of the closing days of our Lord's
life on earth is testimony in itself
that .this choral pageant of the
Passion of Jesus has a message of
inspiraion and help that'makes it
live in people's hearts. It was not
originally intended that it should
be thought of as iust another play
but raher as a great worship experience, which the cast and
chorus of more than 100 persons
has every year sought to make it.
The pageant will be given again
this week Friday evening at 8:19
in Warriner Hall auditorium, Central Michigan College, Mt. Pleasant.
The Clare Methodist Church and
the High School Hustler's Clasc
want to thank all who have helped
in any way, in giving of themselves
time, and effort to make possible
the presentation of this pageant
again this year ih Clare and in

Mmt Stop
Uncontrolled
Grass Fires
An estimated $250 was- the price
of" .carelessness with grass, fires
during the pa*st two wieeks according to Clare Fireman John" Rodabaugh and Fire Chief Stan Parish
who have completed a review of
the busiest eleve'n days the smoke
eaters have seen in a long time.
In spit of public warnings to be
careful in dry weather, grass
burning out of control was the
chief cause of expensive activity.
On Sunday, April' "4, the "department was called to put out a grass
fire at the H. Randall place. On
Tuesday, a legitimate fire call was
issued for a fire in a tool shop and
work room in the rear of the Ivan
Feighner residence on East Sixth
street.
' On April 7, the Clare department made a futile run to Eight
Point Lake, too late to assist in
the Willard Bicknell Cottage* fire.
The building was a total loss.
Then on Friday, April 9 began
the series of. dangerous grass fires
again. The rural truck went to the
William Holbfook's, to the 'P.ratt
school; and to the Ann Arbor R.R.
track at west "Wheaton. On Tuesday, the 12th, the Randall sch'ool
was endangered by a grass fire.
The' next day alarms took the
truck and firemen to West Dunlop
road, and north of Clare to the
Shull ranch where grass was burning out of control.
• Firemen pointed out that every
one of the grass fires could have
been prevented if people had
watched their fires, or not let them
get too large. Such fire runs are
too costly to happen ofteh'they say.
Fire chief Parish advised rural
residents to report grass or brush
fires to the * Conservation Department's'station at Harrison. Phone
