-'-'I think Ed like- it'-'- says Carol,,
"but -there's nothing definite".
"I like flying real well", she
added, for a slight understatement.
Court Bauer, her flying instructor, found nothing unusual in his
only girl soloist.
"Carol is an average student",
he said.
- A 1953 graduate of a Hutchinson
Kansas, high school,  Carol spent
last year at Central Michigan College as a physical education major. She originally planned to be
a teacher, but has changed her
mind and did not go back to college this year.   _

and will soon be ready to solo, his
flight instructor said. -     -

sound advice fore some, but evidently not for Gene PurVis and his
family of Lake George, who started to Arizona recently.
Their, first trouble came when
J the starter on their car quit, Then
the axle broke on their trailer, and
they had to buy a new one. Next
the clutch went out on the car.
Then the brakes snapped on a
14 mile hill in New Mexico and
they had to take to the ditch to
stop. When Gene hitched a ride
to buy new parts, a dump truck
sideswiped the car in which he
was riding and it left the road going 80 miles an hour.
It went through a fence, and 300
yards into a pasture field. Gene
Was thrown out and against a
fence, post, where he hit on his
back, "The fence, post broke in two
from the impact.
Gene is in the hospital with

the back of his head, several

For Pioneers
The powerful Pioneers of Clars
High grounded the Flying G's Friday night, November 5, at Gladwin
by a score of 14-6. It marked the
first * successful attempt in three
tries to avenge an 18*14 loss during the '52 schedule when' the
Pioneers -had an otherwise undefeated- season.
Tlie Green and White kicked, off
to 'get the game underway and
Gladwin found themselves fighting
a determined defensive wall; After
being stalled by fumbles, Clare's
offense came-to life midway in the
first quarter and started a 55 yard,
drive which was*climaxed by Clark
Kinsey plunging the final tyfo
yards, Oscar Rulapaugh scooted
around end for the extra point.
In the second quarter Gladwin
took to the air as a second resort
but Clare's pass defense proved as
stubborn as its line and the Blue
and White team was unable to
threaten.
Just before the half the Pioneers
rolled to the Gladwin 16 yard line
where they failed in four attempts
to widen their scoring margin.
In the third quarter Clare added
an insurance tally on Bill Siel's
seven yard plunge with Oscar Rulapaugh again running the extra
point.
In the fourth and final period
the Flying "G's" started a rally,
which resulted in a Gladwin-_-.D.,-.—-
with Bob Brubaker carrying the
ball along with numerous Clare defenders the remaining foot. The
rally proved to be Gladwin's only-
one as Clare didn't allow the Flying G's as much as another first
down. As the game-ending whistle
closed the 1955 .football season the
score read Clare 14, Gladwin_6i
Only one point separafe_"C_fre~~
from its first undefeated football
season since 1946, that being the

"It!s- the first time all season
that they've all been raring to
play for a full 48 minutes," hei,
said.
"I hope they'll carry some Ot
that spirit with them to the Varsity team- next year," Baker add'

Figure Your Tax
RecoirdsHelp
With income tax filing deadline
rushing closer, .farmers with a.
good, accurate set of records are
going to find* themselves in pretty
good shape to figure their tax.
But farmers that use the hit-or-
miss method of record keeping are.
in ior the usual anoount of trouble.
That word of warning is sounded
by E. M. Elwood, Michigan "State
farm management specialist
Elwood notes \ that   there   are ■
more changes than usual for filing the 1955 returns. He lists, some
of these changes that win affect
farmers:
One change is the filing re.uire-
ment for persons over 65 —* they
need aiot file uhless their gross income is $1200 or more for the taxable'year. Those Under 65 must
file with an income of $600 or
more.
This year children under 19 can
be listed as dependents regardless
how much they earn, if the parents provide over half their sup- *
port.
The tax lav/ - recently rewritten
- gives relief to families hit hard
by medical and dental bills. They
are allowed deductions on these
expenses- that amount t$ over 3
per cent of 'their gross income.
Last year they could deduct only
an amout that exceeded 5 per cent.
