East Fourth at McEwan, by the Citizen's Bank,
"Early Sunday morning, fire was
discovered in the Elm Grove community hall. The building was unoccupied. \
The hall was a total loss, but for
a few scraps of ■ salvaged lumber.
Origin of the blaze Was unknown,
Fire Chief Stan Parish said. It had
not been used for some years,
Grass fires are still the big headache for. the department, Parish
said, in spite of repeated warnings.
• On the same day as the- Bich-.
ards' car burned, Friday, about 3
p.m., the department was called
out to a grass fire on Beaverton
road, where a rubbish burner had
started the blaze.
Tuesday evening this week, another grass fire on East Second
street, called fire fighters out at
about 7:30.
Property owners are ui'ged to
get a permit, and take all possible
precautions when burning off
grass. Grass fires, in rural areas
should be reported to the Conservation department, Parish reminds,

of the Pioneer Staff
Clare senior girls had a special
assembly Tuesday, April 24,' on
the opprtuniti.es in the business
World for a Comptometer operator.
The speaker was Mrs. Dorothy
James, who started on the machine
at the age of sixteen and has made
her living from it ever since, She
now teaches its. use* at the Flint
Comptometer School.
The Flint school is operated by
the Felt and Tarrant Manufacturing Company of -Chicago, Illinois,
and they have a special key which
allows no mistakes.
Since 'near\y all work is on an
individual basis, the time required
to complete the course depends

' dent. However, the average require-
'ment is from ten to twelve weeks,
the school also offers a placement
service for graduate students and
won't graduate them until they are
'entirely able to fulfill the stiffest
responsibillty. The cost of tuition,
Including the entire course, diploma
school supplfes, and all instructional material, is $150, which is paid
On weekly installments.
The Woman's Society of the
Methodist church accepted this as
a service to the community, ahd
two ladies have been on duty at
each clinic since, providing a substitute when ii. regular could not
be present. Assistance has also
been given when requested at special health programs.
There has been a growing interest in these clinics and the' number of families taking advantage
of them continues to increase.
They were held in the elementary
school building until all space
there was needed for class rooms;
since then they have been held in
the Methodist church.
From approximately twenty to
fifty and on the number of registrations has continued to grow
until" March and April of this year
have been banner months.
Wednesday, April 18, brought
the number of registrations to
seventy-five with forty-four children having first or second polio
shots. ,
Now the clinics .have moved; to
the church basement with four
helpers instead of two. The hours
from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. are very
busy ones. The .Society also recently .pledged $25.00 to the proposed si_. county' Child Guidance
