Qm-Fifth Area
Of Park for Cars
The proposed narking lots in the
city' park will accomodate 100
cars City Manager Wedge said
this week. Many person's have expressed interest in the city's attempted solution to the problem of
dowhtoWn parking space.
The space for 100 cars could be
carved out of 42 feet of area, along
the south and east edges of the
park, Wedge said, by taking only
19 percent of the park area and
sacrificing just eight trees. About
40 trees would remain, he said.
Other improvements in the auto-
parking proposal include* the construction of guard rails along the
edges of the angle- parking area,
so that cars could not be driven
too far foreward on the grassy
lawns of the park.
A sidewalk is added to the east
side of the block in the project. AU
work planned would be done by the
city's own equipment and men.
Band Earning
New Uniforms
People who like band music in
the park are reminded that tonight, Friday, is a time for enjoyment of that old-fashioned, and
altogehter enjoyable event, The
Outdoor Band Concert.
And some of the lucky people
who attend the concert to hear
the music and play some popular
games which are being planned,
will go home with an evening's entertainment, and a delicious cake
or two■—to remember it by.
AH this is for the sake of a fund
now being started for new band
uniforms.

Prather Plow
Sales Sold To
F. D. Brewer
An agreement was completed
this week in which F. D. Brewer,
owner of the Brewer Farm Store,
124 west fourth street, .purchased
from the C. H. Prather Plow
sales the Graham Hoeme plow distributor for the state also the local
retail trade.
Mr. Prather has had the agency
for the past seven years in which
time Graham plows have been distributed into every county ip. the
state and have been widely advertised and used, especially by the
beet, bean, wheat and potato farmers.
Mr. "Robert C. Kleiner, who has
been the state sales representative
and service man the past six
years will continue in the same
position with the Brewer Farm
Store.
From Lonnie E. Legge, Lewis-
burg, West Virginia: I remember
when the crushing sound of the
coffee mill would awake me long
before daybreak. Dad always
arose at four the year round,
helped to get and eat breakfast,
then sit around for hours waiting
for daylight. The coffee we used
was bought green and roasted at
home in the oven. It was cheaper
(8c a pound) than already roasted
coffee. Dad said, anyway, "they
roasted the life out of it." Mom
always put an egg shell each morning in the coffee "to settle the
ground."
Everyone*- had a cane patch and
made their own sorghum molasses, it was used for more things
than bread-sopping, too. A gallon
or two was put in a kettle of
apple>-butter, helping to sweeten
the butter, giving it better flavor,
and a richer, redder color.
All our sugar, coffee, salt and
soda, which was about all we
bought from the store, was paid
tor in eggs; but at Easter we were
allowed all the ten cent a dozen
eggs we could *eat. One Easter I
ate thirteen, fried, boiled and deviled.
People never went anywhere
much. Traveling was so bad they
wore themselves out going and
couldn't enjoy themselves after
they got there.
No woman today will he caught
With a dirty apron on. Once, they
wore them to Church, along with
the "poke bonnet;" which projected so far the woman's face could
hardly be seen. Those were the
good old days—or were they?

Mrs. Earl Henderson of Vernon
township reports that she found a
"two in one" egg. The egg itself
measured .nine and one quarter
inches around the longest way. It
had the usual yolk and White, plus
another egg, complete with hard
shell, Prior to finding this egg,
Mrs. Henderson had read a Similar,
story in The Sentinel, of an egg in
Kansas, and wondered, "Will it
ever happen to me?"

Schaaf fe Bowler
Of The Year
Prank Schaaf who was a league
bowler before a painful accident
in 1952 which cost him a foot and
part of his hand in a corn picker,
learned to knock over the pins "all
over again" and this year* was
named "Bowler of The Year" by
his admiring league companions.
As a regular bowler on the
Prather Plow team in the City
League, Schaaf had to learn new years.
Disappear Quick
One of Michigan's state park
managers thought all the refuse lying around his park last year was
probably drooped by shortsighted
visitors who couldn't see trash
baskets.
This year, he painted the baskets
a bright orange, just so they could
be seen easily. '
They were all right.
Four were promptly stolen.
A much worse and vicious waste
of public property occured at a
state' park near Pontiac recently
Where vandals entered the park at
night and broke everything possible in a toilet -building, including
32 panes of glass in the windows.
It took park workers two days
to put the building back in condition.
Three nights after repairs were
-completed, the performance was
repeated; all the windows were
again, smashed and the other
equip ment broken or torn loose.
The problem of vandalism has
long plagued parks work, and has
been  particularly  bad in   recent

Device Lands
On Boyer Ea:
„__i
A curious instrument was found
by Ray Bpyer of Clare R-l in one
of the fields of his farm in section
16 of Arthur township recently.
Obviously an electrical device of
some kind, a tag attached to the
case explained that it is a Radiosonde, sent aloft by the Army,
balloon-borne, to measure weather*
factors in the upper air.
Mail carrier, Charles A. Perry
brought the Radiosonde to the
Clare postoffice where it was packed up and sent back to Camp Clay-

Cheaper Gas
Gas rates approved for new
price schedules were effective May
15 and list gross savings to space
heating consumers of three-tenths

feet of gas. 23 one-hundredths of a
cent are lopped off the price per
hundred feet for the gas used over

To Plant
Muskellunge
A new experiment in .Michigan
fish culture is getting under way
at Prayton Plains state hatchery,
conservation department workers
report.
About a quarter of & million mus-
kellunge eggs have been started
through normal processing at the
hatchery.
When—and: if-*-the ;egg^:_,al'ch
and grow to plantable -size, Michigan* will* etnbark on its first at-
temptVto: stbCk'the big saw-toothed
figtite'rs.'    "••'''••' .
Also being cultivated at Drayton
Plains are more than half a million northern pike eggs.
All the eggs were taken from
several fish netted in three Gogebic county lakes.. The Wisconsin
conservation department graciously provided nets and personnel to
help trap the fish out of the border
waters.
The musky has long been a favorite game fish throughout much
of the Great Lakes region. Michigan, however, has never provided
more than spotty catches, though
the fish is present in a number of
lakes.
It is still an open question
whether or not the eggs will provide enough young muskies to
make a sizable planting. One big
problem is iood. At present, nearly two million Sucker eggs are
being hatched to provide musky
food, but fish workers say, several
million more are needed.
Nd plans for planting have been
made as yet. Certain waters will
be selected, based on proper environment, and depending oh how
many young become.available-from
the eggs.
The northern pike eggs are only
the latest Michigan attempt to
grow pike; attempts have been
made during a number of recent
years, but generally only small
numbers of plantable fish resulted
from the cultivations.
the big problem in the cultivation of fish such as muskies and
pike is cannibalism. The young
fry have a taste for their brothers
and sisters. The problem is' so difficult that fisheries workers say
it is not unusual to start with a
million eggs and end. up with only
100*200 plantable fish.
Car Wreck?
Take 1 Life,
Hurt 5 More
A Wolverine, Michigan, man was
discovered dead under his wrecked
automobile four -miles south, of
Clare and a" mile east,- at 5 a.m.
Thursday. He was . identified as
William Shann, 20, whom State
Police said was thought to have
been employed with a construction
firm at Big Rapids.
Shann's car w.as a horrible
wreck,, and had evidently been ■
traveling at very high speed when
it left the road and hit some.trees.
No others were known to have
been in the car with .Shann, and
no witnesses saw the impact. The
wreckage had to be lifted off b§- •
fore Shann's body could be centoy*-
ed.
Other traffic accidents which
struck local persons, left two
women- in hospital beds with possible serious hurts, and slightly legs
serious injuries to the third, Mrs.
Gerald Brown of Clare, after a collision at the four-mile corner north
of Clare at 1:,30 a.m, last Sunadyi
Mrs. Leila Cotter, reported as
the driver of the car in which she
and Mrs. Brown wpre hurt, was #
found-to have a .fracture _of the"
pelvis, >a concussion, and multiple
abrasions and lacerations about
the head and face. Dr. J. R. Gershon said Thursday that her condition is as much improved as can
be hoped-for and that she is definitely mending, She is in Clare
General Hospital.
Mrs. Thelma Raymond was hospitalized with several broken bones
after another accident last week
near Flint.
Mrs.   Brown   who   was   also   a
patient at Clare General Hospital,
was released to return home Wefl-_
nesday after treatment for multl-"
pie rib fractures.
The car in which Mrs. Brown
and Mrs. Cotter were traveling
was involved in a smash-up with
one driven by Martin, Delano, of
Houghton Lake. Mr. Delano and
his wife who was riding in his
car at the time of the accident
were both shaken up and sustained
less serious hurt.
The collision between the'Delano and Cotter cars happened
when Mrs, Cotter crossed* US-27
without stopping, according to witnesses, and ran into the trunkline
traffic. '        .*_
*"*•"' Police theorized that Mrs* Cotter*
a waitress at the G-atew_y daie,
may have been confused in her direction after driving afbund .a
country square, and that she may
have thought that she was .driving
on the highway instead of crossing
it. She and Mrs. Brown had at*
tended a bowling banquet.
