In a close 'decision again_tAa_ne__-
tion. '..-.,
Ten ballots were cast at the
"West Grant election, all of which
were.in favor of joining the'Clare
district, raising the millag., fof
school operating, and assuming a
proportionate share of the bonded
debt remaining. Itesults of .the

with the office of Lenord Scfcwftii-,

have not been published yet,, but
the election dates were confirmed
through the office of James Knapp,
Isabella County School Commissioner.
Since the election at the Brown
School in which annexation failed
to carry, members of the Clat_
County Board Of Education with
Clare School Board membera have
begun to explore the possibility dt
setting over property or-_6ve_a I
families from the Brown school'dis-
trie, .to the newly enlarged ,1-re

from four families could be enabled to? enroll for their first year
of high school at Clare. Clare-Superintendent Richard "Wheeler "pointed
out that the meeting of members
of the two Boards was ■"unofficial"
and no decision has been recommended.
A new procedure for the annual
school election of the Clare Public
School will- be in order this summer since the joining of districts
which have annexed, or will ha**e
annexed before that time. School
board members will be*nominated
by petition which must bear at
least twenty-five names-and will;!
have to.be filed at the Clare'school!'
office not later than 4.o'clock p.m.'
on the twentieth day proceeding
the election on July 9.
Nominees will come from any-;}
where within the new-enlarged dis-"
trict.
The Sentinel's attention was called to an error in a school election
story which appeared last week,
where it stated that new elections
in rural primary school districts]
could be held ninety days after any
election. The Sentinel's error is
corrected to read that an election'
can be repeated no sooner than six
months after any previous one. .

There's a heroic battle raging
out at the Cyriel Bolle farm.
A robin caught sight .of»hiiri-;
self In the rear-view mirror of
Cyriel's farm truck, last Friday,
took a mighty dislike to the bird
he saw reflected. Now for nearly
a week, he's been fighting with
his reflection.
The robin perches on the doqr
of the truck, and makes furious
lunges at the bird in the mirror,
pecking and beating at it wl|h
his wings, .
Friday evening be'd fought so
. valiantly, that" he could hardly
lift his wings. Now he's resorting to more deliberate tactics,
taking a breather between sorties.
>Cyriel tried moving tho truck
but the bird went right along.
Then a cloth was hung over the
. mirror, The bird snatched tho
cloth off and continued the fight.
Unless something happen, to
distract the bird, Cyrlel aaid
he expects the robin to go on indefinitely with his one-aided
combat.

Lyle Skinner, personnel^ manager at Clare Manufacturing, in remarking about tlie fine records of
work production and excellent cooperation on tho part of employees,
expressed the company's gratitude
for their contribution toward the
success and growth of Clare Manufacturing since the beginning iii
1946.
Mr. Skinner said that a work
force! of about 1,000 people is presently employed here,
Production of .Ford distributor
parts began at Clare Manufacturing on October 14,1946 according to
an announcement at that time by
R. H. Kleinhardt who was the first
plant manager. The company had
acquired the property of Clares, old
Travel Coach company and remodeled the building to accomodate
the new industry. Since that tune,
the modern plant was built to
house main activities Of Clare
Manufacturing.
Employment reached 200 before
the spring of 1947 as complete machining and assembly, operations for*
a new model Ford distributor Were
moved to Clare. Earl Morgan replaced 'Kleinhardt as plant manager
soon-following.
Increasing -titorriobile production
in the past years brought with it k
steady climb in production rates
and employment for Clare Manufacturing. The late winter of 1955
and the spring of 1956 saw three
shifts in operation in the enlarged
plant, Nearly two thousand people
we.e employed full time. Carburetors were the principle products of
the industry by this time.
Expected cutbacks in Clare employment followed auto productioh
adjustment earlier this year, but
1,000 workers are currently on the
payroll at the plant with re-tooling
in process for 1957 model carburet
tors. Models of new Ford carburetors will be displayed during the
open house observance. Both two-
and four-barrel carburetors are to
be furnished ■ for Ford agan next
year, Mr. Sandborn said.
Anniversary Open House .visitors
at Clare .Manufacturing will also be
'shown too'ing-up progress in a pro-
gram .to .manufacture automatic
brakes hare. The Hemphill Automatic Brake is a newly engineered
product which converts the present
braking system on automobiles into a "full power system" operated
off the accelerator.
The safety device has undergone
years of testing on all makes of
vehicles and provides automatic
braking operation when the driver's
foot is lifted from the .accoleratol-.
Mr. Sandborn described the new
product as operating by means of a
vacuum-powered valve controlled
from the floor pedal. Relaxing foot
pressure past a boasting position
will apply the brakes instantly and
smoothly, he said.
Acceptance
