City Buys
At .future elections, beginn-
ing-with' the General Primary
next August 7, Clare voter-
will .indicate their choices by
pulling levers on voting machines rather than marking
ballots. The City Commission
at a regular meeting Monday
evening purchased the automatic voting machines for delivery in the spring. "
Vf City Clerk Alex McKinnon
explained that the city was
fajeed wih a choice of either
continuing with the present
ballot system of voting which
Would make it necessary to
divide Clare into two precincts, or installing voting machines so that the city could
remain a, single precinct.
. Ju the past eight yeai's while
Clare's population has "been growing at an increased rate, people,
have .'continued to register and*
vote in one precinct regardless of
where they lived within the city.
, Now Clare has grown past the
one-precinct size and has been notified, by Michigan's Secretary-of
State, that voting procedure must
be. brought up to date.
Before 1948, when the first election was held under the present
city charter, Clare citizens ballotr
ed under the ward system and
went to caucuses and to the polls
.ronv Ward Qpe, Two, or Three.
The city commission made a
quick decision to switch to voting
machines after considering the detailed-work and expense "involved
ill ^holding to the ballot system of
elections and splitting Clare into
two precincts.
With two precincts, two election
boards'would have to be employed.
Each registered elector would have
to he notified as to which new precinct he orshe belonged in. Mi".
"McKinnon said that the notices
would have to be delivered by
first-Class mail.
" The purchase price of the machines is less than the estimated
cost of holding elections with two
election boards. Election night
vote" counting will be faster.
• A contract with the Automatic
Voting Machine Corporation provides for the delivery of the two
macnines on a trial-rental plan.
Three hundred dollars rent for the
njachi_es during the trial period
wjll apply on the purchase price of
$1,400, each if the city decides to
keep them.
..Voting by automatic machines
will- be a new experience for most
of Clafe citizens. Most large cities
in Michigan and elsewhere have
used .similar machines for years.
More -recently, the use of the ma
chines has become common in
smaller communities also. Neighboring towns which vote by machine are Alma, Bay City, Midland,
Saginaw, and many of the more
populous township.s
Demonstrating models of the
actual machines are to be furnished to the city and the commission
plans to put the demonstrators to
full use in instructing local groups
in the voting operation.     ,
Equipped with curtains, each machine is a complete voting-booth
unit, said to make possible absolute . secrecy, easy and speedy,
voting, reduced expense, and no
spoiled ballots.

New Organ
Is Given To
Gilmore Church
The congregation of the Gilmore
Church of Christ near Farwell is
enjoying the music of a new Hammond Spinet Organ, a gift from,
two of the chUrchs long-time members. •
Mrs. Anna Schofield, who has
spent, a half century as a school
teacher, ahd has been a member of
the Gilmore Church for over fifty
years, and her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Grace Stanley gave the new instrument to the church.
The spinet organ was heard for
the first time last Sunday, after
Mrs. Schofield and Mrs. Stanley
had it brought here on trial, for the
congregation's approval. Mrs. Eileen Wood, as organist, had the
pleasure of initiating the instrument.
.Mrs. Schofield had wanted to
give a gift to the church in appreciation of the kindness shown her
by fellow.members, and she hit on
the idea of the organ.
She approached her sister-in-law,
Mrs. Stanley, and the same week,
the new spinet was sent from Midland on trial. The two ladies wanted to- be sure that their fellow
church members would be pleased
with the gift and its performance.
Last Sunday, when the members
of the. congregation heard the beautiful instrument for the first time,
they came to their feet with a
rousing vote of thanks, giving Mrs.
Schofield and Mrs. Stanley then
answer.

Miss Clare
,Off:To Grayling,
To Continue
Film Showing
For Sundays
Following the showing of the
film "Martin Luther" last Sunday
evening which drew a large crowd
to see this outstanding picture, the
request was made to the pastor
that these Sunday evening religious film services be continued.
Those present told the pastor
that they so greatly enjoyed the
song fest, singing together the old,
familiar, and much loved hymns
of the church, as well as soeing
the picture, that they felt the program should be continued. The
pastor and church is giad to comply with the request. N
For showing next Sunday evening, February 12, an outstanding
religious film, one in much de1
mand, has been booked. It is entitled,'"SALT OF T.HE EARTH".
This* is a Cathedral Film, 50
minutes in length.
ft is the story of a layman's experience, a miner who has never
taken God seriously. Because the
picture "fits so well into life's coin-
'mbn experiences, which ih this
case leads th© main character in
the picture to "un entirely new outlook on life, it is a film that should
have a wide appeal. It is, well produced against authentic back-,
grounds, and shows well the relation of faith in God to life situations.
The song fest of 15 minutes in
length, will precede the showing
of the film: The public is invited.
A free-will offering will be, taken to
Cover the rental charge for the
film.
Plan New Road
From Cemetery
ToU&27
An east-west extension of* a
street along the north side of the
Clare school athletic field .appe'ars
much more of a bright possibility
this week with an opinion from the
Clare Board of Education that
right-of-way along the edge of
school property might be allowed
by means of an agreenieht like an
easement. The school'board cannot
legally sell the right-of-way strip
outright.
The street, which is laid out to
lun west from the jiorthwest corner of Cherry Grove cemetery to
North McEwan street, would
emerge " next to the .VandewarkCr
property.
The city is- proposing . the new
street as a route to residential de*
Velopments at the northeast corner
(Foell Subdivision), and at the
School the street would be welcomed as a straight-through cutoff to
eliminate much, traffic on the Beaverton Road which now has .to
circle around the front of school
property.

T. C. Maher, area manager for
