The* three city commissioners
who will be elected Monday, April
• 2, will have their work cut. put lor
them when they take office, what
with several proposed projects
heeding -heir attention almost immediately.
Five tfien have filed petitions in
the race for the three seats. Incumbent commissioners Charles Cooper and Robert "Walters are seeking
re-election. Cooper was elected in
1955 for one .year, and Walters in
1954 .for two years.

Paul Schroeder, of the Clare Sentinel; . Gerald Nivison, whq has a
local accounting practice; and Ken
_toe, proprietor of a radio and tele*
vision "shop.
*j*he third chair on the commission to be filled is that one presently held by Dale Groves, who is
not Tunning for re-election.
A proposed enlargement to .the
Clare City Hall that has been in
the offihg for some time, is one
of the considerations that will face
the newly formed commission after
Monday's election.
Street improvements and curb
and gutter installation in the city
will comprise another set of details
for the commsisioners to work OU-
A third is the drilling of another
water well, on the East side of the
city this time. Tentative plans for
this job are already under way.
Likely to be a big issue for the
newly seated commissioners, is the
question' of the millpond flooding
project, sponsored by the Rod and
Gun Club.

Tornado Season Approaches
Tornadoes, those small but dangerous whirling windstorms that
average less than one-quarter mil6
in width, usually increase in number with the coming of spring. In
preparation for the 1956 tornado
season, the United States Weather
Bureau has strengthened its defenses by arranging for more instrumental equipment and faster
communications to provide better
public warning services for thn
protection of life and property.
At Clare Rotary club's Wednesday luncheon, a film was shown
that described weather conditions
leading up to a tornado.

8Y THE OLD "TIMERS
From Mrs. Kathy Kuntz, Carrier, Oklahoma: I was raised in
beautiful Tennessee and though I
am not so old I remember helping Dad and Mom shear sheep and
helping Mather pick geese to make
feather beds   and  pillows.
I have swept floors' with brooms
made of corn shucks and carded
rolls and spun knitting thread to
knit wool stockings and gloves
Which Would -keep my .hands tender and white despite hoeing in
the fields. Also made my own
split bonnets to work in.
• Daddy had eight girls and three
boys, but he "banked" on his gals,
as he called Us, when he wanted
things done in a hurry*.   .
We gathered walnuts, hickory
nuts, and chestnuts in the Fall
and  thus always   had   plenty   of
nuts for Christmas.
«   *   *
From Lens. Carter, Galena, Kansas: I have a son, Harmon John
Newberry, a retired RR .conductor, now 68, who was named for
his- grandfather, Harmon Newberry, a gun maker and a leader
in the California Gold-Rush in '49.
Grandpa Harmon«ahd 75 of his
neighbors broke the oldN "Santa Fe
Trail". Part of them guarded the'
camp till midnight, the others took
over until dawn. The Indians neve-
harmed them as they Were really
well fiied with guns, .wagons,

The film was also showh in Clare
schools this week.
Weather Bureau meteorologists,
who have been trained to- recognize the possibility of dangerous
weather situations, will issue tornado forecasts when there is a reasonable chance that one or more
tornadoes will occur. The boundaries of areas described in tornado
forecasts are as accurate as* possible under present day forecasting
techniques, but there may be time-
when tornadoes will occur outside
the predicted tornado area boundaries.
Tornado forecasts are also made
for the purpose of alerting storm
reporters and others to watch the
clouds for tornadoes when the
weather becomes threatening. The
Weather Bureau emphasizes that
people should not run for cover
immediately after hearing a tornado forecast broadcast over radio
and television stations. However,
people should be prepared to take
safety precautions in case a tornado is .sighted later, "or in case
warnings are issued that a tornado is n-w „ppr_ac__-_.
The film shown at Rotary made
the following recommendations for
safety precautions when tornado
warnings are out. Precautions
needed* depend partly on a person's
location.
Take shelter in a storm cellar or
other     underground      excavation
whenever possible.
If underground protection is not
available, take shelter on the lower floors of a strongly reinforced
building. In homes, the southwest
corners of basements usually offer,
greatest safety, particularly _o
frame houses, '        '
In open country, move at right
angles to the approaching tornado,
if there is no. time to escape, lie
flat in the hearest ditch or depression. ,        ... *
Hugh Hogan, proprietor of the
Mt. Pleasant and Clafe Credit Bureau, and a member of the Mt.
Pleasant Rotary Club, was guest
speaker at the Clare Rotary Club
meeting, Wednesday noon, March
21, when members assembled for
their weekly dinner at the Hotel
Doherty.
Mr. Hogan spoke on "Credit",
stating that he is most interested
in giving talks to student groups
about credit, to help induce youth
to become debt conscious so that
as future customers and business
men they will better respect and
understand credit.

Eight rural school districts whiet
are ready for a vote on the question of annexation with Clare haye
filed .letters with the office of Claire
School Superintendent Richard
Wheeler and are awaiting the next
step in the process which will probably join them all together in a reorganized district.
The Clare school board in'turn
is Waiting for similar letters from
five other districts which h-.ye already indicated their readiness to
act, but have not yet forewarded
their formal requests for the veso-f
lution in writing. The thirteen- disf
tncus counted in the column,"favoring annexation are: „   '
Vernoh'Twp. No. 4 (Wilson)
Vernon Twp. No.   Fr. CHoi'r\ng)
* Vernon Twp No. 1 (Phinnisey) •
Vernon Twp: No. 2 (Vernon Cen'-;
ter)'    " .. <i .■•■•
Wise Twp. No. 1 .(Loornis)'
Arthur Twp.'No. 3 (Brand) '   >
Hatton Twp. No. 2 Fr. (Brown)
Grant Twp No, 6' (West G-rarft)
Grant TWp. No. 7' Fr, (McKiriley)
Sheridan Twp. No. 2 (Colonville)
"Arthur Twp, No. 3 Fr. (B&lsley)
Sheridan Twp.'No; 3' (Carrow)
Vernon Twp. No, 6 (O'Connor)
At the O'Connor and'. fterripg
schools, there is a probability that
a vote on annexation will have to
wait until arrangements are completed for some property owners to
be "set over" into other districts
before the remaining portions ol
the districts can be annexed. And
at Colonville there is some probability of another unofficial vote to
clear up the question of whether
electors agree on annexation, or
Whether the previous vote was intended to favor only consolidation*
Since the rural school district-
have been assured an "immediate
vote on new members of the board
of the proposed district regardless
of whether they join annexation
or consolidation, the point ot difference has been wiped out and
Colonville voters are placed definitely in the ranks of those ready to
join in to help plan the reorganized
school.
The. thirteen districts together
have a. State Equalized Valuation
of $3.3 millions which with the. present Clare district's valnatlSn,
mak. a total of more than $10 million.
Schools -which vote "No" on the
question of joining the reorganized
district, or else have delayed their
replies to the Clare Board are An-
dersonville, Brewer, Dover, Eagle,
Pratt, Randall, Redner, Wildcat.
Student enrollment at Clare from
these eight schools numbers -4,
twelve of which are in Clare High
School's senior ,cla*ss. The valuation
in the districts is $2,155,285.
The next move in the annexation of the eight districts from
which formal letters have been received is to be resolutions • for
each district from the Clare School
Board, and then approval at the'
County School Board, and State
Department of Instruction level
before the vote, back in the annexing districts. The next . regular
meeting of the Clare Board when
the letters can be acted upon is
scheduled for Monday, April 9, unless a Special meeting is called.
