.Following the program, the Harrison churches have made plans toj
take the   youngsters for a 'sleigh

Mrs, Rachel Andresson, of Ann
Arbor, who Represents Michigan
churche?. in working out details
of the program will be present
with, the group this weekend.
These exchange students of high
school age are brought to Michigan and other states by the
churches cooperating with thfe
United States Department of State.
The young peo&le come to Michigan homes, where American fos-;
ter parents provide room and
meals, and often personal expenses. In many cases, civic groups
provide clothing and spending
money, and often .the students
themselves find part time work.
The Claxe Rotary Club has tak-
__n an interest in providing lor
T?ranz Goehre, the. CHS student,
while he is in school here.
.Transportatjoii for the students
to come to this Country is provided-
by interested groups who make
contributions' . for that purpose.
While most of the students are
from Germany, it is hoped that
enough money will be available to
bring some French students to this-
country next year.
The students come here for; their
Senior year..in high school, but as
a matter o. fact, still have more
schooling. awaiting them at home
in their own country.
Since a high school education in
Germany, for example is somewhat comparable to junior college
work in America, the young people who come here are encouraged to take subjects that serve to
acquaint them with the American
people and culture, such as U. /S.
History, Government, and English.    .:..■'. i
Most of the exchange students
stay in Southern -Michigan homes
and attend Southern Michigan
schools. Franz Goehre, who stays
with the Delamarters, is located
the furthest north of any of the
Michigan exchange group.
Franz' year at CHS will count
for practically nothing scholasti-
cally when he goes back to Germany this summer. It will count
for a good deal in uhderstading
America, though, his foster parents
the Delamarters believe.

Case Of The
Canine
Delinquents
Mary's little lamb that followen
her to school and broke all the
rules has become the family dog
following Clare youngsters to
school each day, and thereon
hangs a headache for school administrators.
The ' dogs, as many as 20 at a
time, spend the day on the school
grounds, playing and fighting, and
frightening ' children who have
been rightly taught to have care
with strange dogs,'
Literally gangs of dogs, waiting
for their young* charges to come
out, block entrances. School officials are justifiably afraid that
youngsters out playing may be
bitten.
Dog Warden Russell Foett
doesn't mind picking up stray
dogs, but the reproachful faces of
the dogs' youthful owners at the
school are too much for him to
take, he says.
The Warden is willing enough
to impound dogs th,at get complained of In any other part of
town, though.
So if you have a dog, keep it at
home; and particularly away from
the school and playgrounds.

Safe Bet
This Couldn9t
Occur Again
At Clare General Hospital last
week was recorded one of those
once-in-a-lifetime bits of coincin-
dencje which mak£ hospital records the w_rmly human regist-i*
of 'events which they are. Members of four generations of the
.family of .George Searight, . of,
rural Coleman were' registered as
hospital 'patients here at the same
time.
Maybe this is a one time in. a
million occurence. , .maybe a slimmer chance than even that. You
could na,me your own odds that
pei'haps four generations of any
One family Were never before registered as patients all at one time.
First to enter Clare General Hospital was George Soeright, himself, who was brought in on January 7. His'son Leroy Searight, 43,
joined him at the hospital later
but in the meantime, while they
were both under treatment there,
Mrs. Ben KleinhaTdt, also of rural
Coleman was brought to the hospital as a maternity patient. Mrs.
Kleinhardt is the daughter of Leroy Searight, and granddaughter
of George Searight.
'On January 18, Mrs. Kleinhardt's
baby boy> Allan Lee was born and
joined his mother, grandfather,
and great-grandfather on the Clare
General Hospital patient list.
The hospital office reported that
Allan Lee is a fine healthy boy,
and that neither of the Searight
men are critically ill, so the clan
has reason to be happy with the
outcome of the narrative. At the
office, they, are also willing, to
wager that this particular coincidence won't happen again for a
long, long time ... if ever,
