From Mrs. M. J. Ovcrson, Mess,
Arizona: I remember over 65 years
ago, the-Pioneer days pf Arizona,
We lived in the Northern part of
the (then) Territory, in a log house
with, a dirt roof. It* wag 20 mil^S
over rough, mountain roads to the
nearest small store. We didn't
speak of "buying" things then,
but when in need of ••store*' goods,
the neighbors got together and decided on someone to go to the
•"valley" to "trade."
Each family listed their needs,
such as sacked grain or potatoes,
eggs, butter, cheese, rholasses, or
ixiaybe a steer or a few sheep.
Those days shoes were shipped
to the stores in very large boxes
made of lumber, and dozens of
pairs were put in without any
wrappings. Fairs were fastened
together by boring a small hole
in the back of each shoe and putting a stout string through with
•a large knot on the inside. They
Were made; of leather, often with a
brass eap across the toe, and lasted, well, tho* so different from the
Soft, pliable ones we hav$ now.
We washed* carded* s^pun and
dyed our yarn, and knit oyr socks
and stockings for winter, and mostly went barefoot in summer.
The children helped with this
work. The girls were taught to
Cook, 4o housework, tend the children, sew and lmit, and the bdys
helped with the farm work and
stock. We ha^,no problem of juvenile delinquency, but were &

Police have an interesting side
light to offer on the local driver
violation situation.
Of-the 50-odd tickets handed out
by Clare police for traffic violations weekly, it seems that over 90
per cent of them are issued to licenses beginning "PY".
'"PY", is of course, the code
number for licenses issued to
Clare County residents. So, while
one would normally expect that
the majority of the tickets handed out locally, would go to out
of County residents, such is just
not the case.

Three teen age boys, who said
they were after scrap iron, were
caught Sunday, after wrecking the
interior of the Lincoln Township
school at Lake George. Their ages
are 15, 16, and 17.
A Lake George resident, Spencer
Hill, heard a commotion at the]
school about 3;30. p.m. Sunday,
and sensing something wrong, "He
investigated. He gave a description of the boys' car to Farwell
Police Chief Don'Lloyd and to
state policemen.
Meanwhile, another neighbor
who also knew the car's des- .
cription, spotted the boys and
tailed them into a Farwell gas
station. He then reported the
boys'   whereabouts   to  Police
Chief Lloyd.
Lloyd picked the "boys up in Far-   .

and wires cut.

Mrs. Harold Schaeffer.
On Wednesday fifteen women
braved the raw winds and assembled for play. "Jingles" was.-.th*

the winner. A ball was also given
to Mrs. James Olson for low putts
and in the afternoon', Mrs. Earl
Baumgarth won a ball in a Cryer's
Tournament".

Seats were also torn apart.
A cupboard in the basement
had been forced open, apparently to get a case knife to use
as a screw driver.
The boys sa'id they used a hammer for the wrecking job. A broad
ax was found in the school, Lloyd
S"aid. Damage Was estimated at between $60  and $75,   according to
Lloyd.    The objects were beyflnd

The board of directors of the
Pioneer Swimming Pool, Inc., a
non-profit Michigan corporation,
elected the following persons as
it's officers recently:
Dan McDonald - president, Dick
Groves - vice president, Harold
Hughes - secretary, David Jondrow
- treasurer.   .
' The City of Clare executed the
lease this past week granting the
Pioneer Swimming Pool, Inc, a 99
year lease on the real property located immediately adjacent to and
west of the high school athletic
field on East Wheaton Avenue.
It is expected that the fundi raising campaign shall be continued
in the very near future.
All the activity n o t i c e ab 1 e
around Clutes Garage earlier this
week will result today in the big
open house ceremonies to be held
in honor of Jim's change of dealership.
It was announced earlier this
week that Clutes had been given
the exclusive area dealership for
Nash ears. "      .
In his over 40 years' of dealing
in cars around these parts, Jim
has handled about every make on
the markef.
He started out in 1912 with the
first Maxwells, Fords, Saxon's
Mercers and others. He set up his
own garage here 'ii*. 1921 formerly
known as Doherty's.
It is no easy .thing to change
over a dealership as Clute can
testify. It means changing over a
stock of supplies', tools and parts
not to mention a re-training of mechanics to familiarize them with
the peculiarities of the new cars.
^Nash has sent down experts to
give the men the Special training,
needed however.
Nash was recently involved in a
merger with Hudson to create the
American Motors Corporation.
