CampbellAsksConference
For "WhiteHouse" Session
BY T. C. CAMPBELL
I have been asked about the
Regional "White House.Conference
in Mt< -Pleasant so many times ol
. late, that it might justify the use
ot this column to talk a little
about 'it.
President Eisenhower and the
Congress of the United States
have allocated funds to hold conferences on education in all of the
states and territories, winding up
with a national conference in
Washington D. C. next December.
A number of states have already
held conferences and all of the
others will have meetings in the
next few months.
"Michigan has been divided into
fourteen regions. One pf these vital conferences will be iheld in
each .region to discuss a number
of problems facihg education.
. The Mt. Pleasant region comprises a ten county area, beginning on Lake Michigan, cast to
include Clare, Isabella and Gratiot counties. Invitations have been
extended ' to seventy persons ' in
the City of.Clare and others from
the rural areas of the county and
other towns and villages. The invitations do not obligate anyone
to. anything other than a chance
t6', join in the. discussion of. th*
■many- problems which threaten
th*-* future of public schools in the
nation. The. regional .-coherence
committee in extending the invitations fe"lt. that the' citizens invited Would f mosWcertainly respond
to: their call.
Ideas and suggestions coming
out of these meetings will be carried along through delegates
from the regional rneptings to a
state -meeting, and eventually
**hrough Michigan's 76 delegates to
the national conference in Washington.
The future of federal and state
-financial aid to public schools
ariay well rest on what is forthcoming from these so-called
"■grass-roots" meetings.
Several of the -problem, areas,
the President wants discussed
are. shortage of classrooms and
other facilities; staffing the classroom with sufficient -well-qualified teachers; securing the necessary finances; the organization of
adequate school districts and
meeting the needs of the mentally
and   physically  handicapped.
Ten problem areas have been
set up in all, and furnish ample
frameworks within which the
members of the Regional White
House Conference in each area of
Michigan can operate unchecked
and satisfactorily.
.This is real democracy based on
trie little-used town hall meeting
ideai This affords a real opportunity to do a service to your community and the children living in
it, and act as an advisor to the
President, something we have all
had a hankering to do.
The committee advises me tha£
.programs for the meeting on
March 29th are being sent to each
person to whom they extended an
invitation.
I wonder if (we could get st
large group of our 'delegates
■from Clare  together -aexfi
' xnursday night to answer •
questions and discuss the local
scene a little "before attending
the cc-ntcrence. .Xnursday,
March 24th at 7:45 'p.m.
would be a good date and the
meeting (could he held in one
of ithe rooms of the high
school. We could end the "meeting hy 9:00 p.m. and maybe
do some good. ILct's plan on It *
then, and hope, that everyone
who is going to the regional
meeting can attend -our own on
March 24.

Tell How
To Construct
Cheap Silos
Low cost silos and crops to put
into them are two topics farmers
will discuss at a meeting Friday
afternoon,'March 18^ at the court
house in Harrison.
Agricultural Engineer Arthur
Bell of the Michigan State College
Extension staff will discuss the
ways one can have a silo if he cannot afford a factory built job.
Crops specialist Denny Clana-
han will discuss some of the
crops farmers of Michigan are us
ing for silage as well as some
pointers on the late developments
in forage crop seeding practices
and varieties.
As farm labor supply continues
to dwindle) those who are left on
the farms are searching for ways
to carry on a large volume of
business with less work. Self
feeding silos of the horizontal
type are finding more favor each
year as a way to feed the cattle
with less work. Mr. Bell will show
some of the types of horizontal
silos that Michigan farmers are
using and discuss their, advantages
and points to observe in building
them.
Sirtce a good deal of grass and
other crops are now being put into
silos much information as to the
best crops for silage aud the best
methods of putting up silage is
now available. Mr. Clanahan will
bring some information gleaned
from Michigan farmers experience
with silage crops.
The meeting will be at 1;30 in
the court house basement,
New Church
At Eagle
Open Sunday
The new Ea'gle church, that rose j
from the ashes   of   a   disastrous '
midwinter fire in 1954, will have
its iirst worship service this Sunday, March 20.
Tuesday, a cleaning bee with 15
people was .held to get the church
ready for regular' services, and
for an 'evangelistic series that
will begin Sunday.
A joint Sunday School and
Church board meeting was heldj
Monday, and the decision was
made to start holding services in
the building now in order to accommodate this evangelistic series.
The interior of the church is
not yet done. When, it is completed
which the pastor, Rev. Elza Beery
expects to be in the early summer,
a dedication ceremony will be
held. ' <
Outside finish of the new church
is a brick veneer. The interior is
done in smooth surface blocks,
that require no other finishing.
The new church is somewhat
larger than the church that burned. This-is partly due to a vestibule that has been added, and
partly fo the. replaceme'nt of the
original thick, field stone walls
with thinner o*nes, "Rev. Beery
said. "
. Entrance to the new building
will be from the south side of the
front, now, rather than by a door
facing on the road as was originally the case. Besides the vestibule, there is a glassed-in- cry-
room for mothers with small
children. ' . •
Downstairs there are two rest
rooms, and five Church Srihbol
classrooms.- There is space for
three additional classrooms to be
curtained off, too, the pastor said.
The largest of the new stained
glass -windows, shipped in from
Saginaw, was installed in the«west
. end of the church, which is the
front. Then there are nine glass
windows lighting the sanctuary*.
The two smallest of the windows
are in the vestibule.
Capacity of the new church is
somewhat increased' due to the
added space, Rev. Beery said. The
Sanctuary will hold about 140 people, and the vestibule's, and cry
room will hold an estimated overflow of 50, he said.
Pews and the pulpit-were saved ;|
irora.ihe old church, but an ad-
ditiohjfi Jqui*. pews' •!* will probably<
be. "purchased, since there will toe
room enough now to install them.
Construction of the new church
was in the hands of a building
committee. Frank Humphrey was
chairman and Rev. Beery was
secretary-treasurer. Serving with
them were "Norman Hutchinson,
Frank Rilett, Walter Kleiner,
Robert Kleiner, Verne Hains, Ernest Penrose and Orville Bates.
The parish is in debt for the
•new church about $4,000 Rev.
Beery said. However, no appeal or
drive has ever been made for contributions or funds, he said.
The Ladies Aid of thev church
contributed money made from
their projects to the church and
contributions have come in unasked, and gladly accepted, the
Pastor added. Rev. Beery lives on
R-2 Clare. »
The first Eagle church burned
January 31, 1954, in a.blaze apparently started by .an overheated
chimney. Pews, organ, piano arid
pulpit "were saved but other equipment, and church records were
lost with the church.
With their church burned, the
congregation of 55 families moved
back across the road to the Eagle
schoolhouse, where they'd had
services before the church was
built in 1915. _
Attendance at services m the
school has been good, and has
reached overflow proportions several times, Rev. Beery said.
For a wedding in the congregation, the Brown Comers United
Brethren Church was borrowed.
Other weddings were held at the
parsonage.
But the new church has already
had its first wedding. Mr. "and
Mrs. Donald Melnek were married
Ihere two weeks ago, because
they wanted to be that number
one wedding. And first they were.
The church was newly cleaned but
the only furniture in it was the
pulpit, and 'some .baskets of flowers.
The Schedule for this First Sunday will be Bible School at 10! 30
a.*m., morning worship at 11:30
a.m. and Christian -Endeavor at
7 p.m.
At 8 p.m. the first in the two
weeks series of evangelist services
will be held. ■
Rev. Gerald Brady of Harrison,
will be there each night during
the week, and Saturday and Sunday to conduct services.
