To Vote Next Commission Meeting On
Maintenance Worth $9,600 In City
,■ Kecognition of the effort
and labor by the City of
Clare Jin jttaintaining ,US*-J|t
and US-27 within the city
limits,—and pay for the work
and materials involved, is the
purpose of a recent move by
the city 'commission to obtain
a contract for the operation
with provisions for the State
of Michigan to pay a share"of
fche expense.
'.Mehabers of the City Commission have already discussed the general advantages of
such a policy, City Enginee.
W;illard Wedge said this
week.
At the present time, Wedge said,
most of the work of maintamence
on these highways' is being; done
fay the-city at its own expense.
. The city this weeK obtained
clearance from the County Highway Commission, preparatory to
-- requesting a maintenance^ contract
from the State Highway Department,
Mayor Howard Everts and City
Manager Willard Wedge recently
co'nferred with State Highway officials', regarding a contract and
a tentative operations budget.
It was estimated that labor
equipment rental and material
• foi* maintenance and repair for
12 months would amount to
?9,600 of which the State Would
pay $8,460 »pd the City would
pay §1,200. *
'-^State Highway -engineers ihstiedi-
ted, the city, equipment and were
satisfied that the city owned sufficient equipment with the exception
of a snow plow and sander, to
■handle snow plowing and removal
and ice control, and other work
required by the- State.
The budget set up by th_ Highway Department pays labor and
equipment rental plus overhead
costs 'for street cleaning, marking
and -repairing, catch basins cleaning, and.storm-sewer repairs;
Traffic light maintenance, Snow-
removal and' ice, cdntrol," and all
other work done oh US-27 and US-
10. .
It was pointed out that the purchase of a street sweeper woulft
be a definite -economy, since it
would savp its cost within a'few
years, while at the same time
keeping the streets clean, ■ •
In addition to the provis*.
ions already mentioned, the
proposed budget also covers
vacation, sick—ica-yc,-- retire- -
ment and compensation costs,,
besides actual labor costs.

From Jessamine S. Bargain, Arthur, North Dakota: I remember
when General U. S. Grant came to
Bismarck, Dakota Territory when
the first corner stone of the Capitol
was laid in 1883 and dedicated it.
The former President was an
elderly, distinguished-looking gentleman With a white beard, Ha
stoke briefly and smiled at uS» My
mother hurried us children lip to
look at him and said* "Look, chil-

have*seen General j Grant!"
We dutifully gazed, and then
turned Our attention to a more familiar figure. Sitting Bull, with a
group of other Indians who had
surrendered to the U, S, Government five years Mter the Custer
massacre, "■«.■-

Biggest Soda
In Town
Pays Off Bet
There's a baseball-wise youngster and his friends who staged
a: real celebration of" their own
on the occasion of the Cleveland Indians' pennant, grab in
the American k■"• dg»e race.
Mike Campbell, son of Mr. and
Mrs., Thomas C. -Campbell, of
Clare, tint of. -"■* party whAa. he
woi a bet froM his school
teacher.
The treat was 15 qtiafts of
soda in*'a pan almost as big as
a bathtub. ,
Cleveland fans weren't any
happier. than Mike and hia
pals, and if Champagne cOrks
popped in the ballplayers'
dressing room, the -** drinks
didn't taste any better than the
■cherry flavored* "biggest soda
in .town", which was the payoff
Mike, a fifth grader, won* from
his friend and principal, Allan
Tulk.
It was last April when Mike
and Mr. TUlk differed"- about tbe
quality of Cleveland's pitching
staff,- The Clare school principal and boy_' education teacher
couldh't see the Indian's top
three hurlers winning 60 games
among them.
W-ell,, Mi*. Tulk. was a good
loser and tie bought a "soda"
made from this recipe: 15
scoops of ice cream mashed in
three big* glasses of sweet
cherry flavor. To'this ,was added enough soda water to nearly
fill the huge" pan, and then a
half-gallon of ice cream was
floated in the sea of cherry
soda.
Mr. Tulk delivered the stupendous soda in person, and
when Mike saw the payoff prize
placed on his front steps,, he
took one look of amazed unbelief and shouted, "Wow! I'll
have to call the gang."
The "|ang" collected itself
avound the hick winner and his
soda about as quick as you
could say, "gimme a soda
straw", and everybody pitched
in. .
Mike told the crowd it was
mighty sweet to be the winner
of a bet like'this, ""specially
since Mr, Tulk had a bath tub
picked out to collect his treat
in if fortune had reversed and
he had won."
1st in League
For Clare
George Perry's rugged- "Pioneers
served notice on their cCnference
foes-that they will be no pushovers
On the gridiron in 1954. The Green
and White team scared, the bejabers oUt -of i bigger tea*m Irom "mk.
Rapids, and looked a little ragged
tout very, courageous in an impressive 7-6 loss last Friday evening.
The Big Rapids Cardinals were
odd-on favorites to repeat .their
last year's rout ol Clare. The-1953
score was 32-0. " * , ' '
Teams from the newly .formed
Mid-Michigan "B" Conference impressed each other and'-all others
with .their slam-bang, rdck .-'em
and sock 'em| .opening ;of the 1§5_
season. ' '.-.'•'
Ithaca- held powerful-Greenville
High to a scoreless tie. St< Louis
overpowered the Alma team 19-0
in-a. wild .upset. Shepherd's Bluejays dumped a - scrappy Evart
eleven, while Durand beat -Swartz
Creek.
A determined Big Rapids line
outcharged Clare's foreward wall
to spell the difference between the
teams-in the Pioneer opener. The
CHS backfield couldn't get away
fast enough to avoid the fast defensive play of Big Rapids linemen. ,"■■- '-- . A- - ■ -
The game was played before an
enthusiastic crowd of nearly 800
farts. , *" s
Traveling to Shepherd tonight,
the Pioneers will tangle with a
strong Shepherd team who displayed more strength against
Evart than the record shows for
ihe 1953 season.
Both Clare and Shepherd will be
eager for their first win against a
league team, and last year's Clare
victory will be far from a sure
thing to repeat.
In spite .of a week of untimely.
1 ra.in 'th'at forced concessions," under coyer arid turned the racing
track to , mud, the * Clare .County.
Fair came' off * last week .mostly-
on schedule, and money ahead, according*, to ..Ray , Harrold, fair
board secretary.
Saturday' afternoon's attendance:
was'" slightly higher than the average of the week, he said. Total
attendance" was tentatively estimated • At about one-third of previous years.
. .*!!__• "Jp.**?"' drew over 100 exhibitors •61- livestock^ crops, "various
handicraft; and ' county youth
groups;. > *
The" Band Concert set for Saturday afternoon went off on schedule, and was well received. Racing scheduled for that day was
•cancelled as it had been on previous days. The track was too mud-
dy to _a rim.- ■- ■, -
Grandstand Acts were put on
each night, as listed. Several of
the acts playing at Clare County
Fair this year were the same
troupes that Were playing Sagi-
new. They were called the best
ever brought to this fair. Audiences gave them, an enthusiastic response.
Horse racers had to pack up
their animals and take them home
without ever having run a race.
All three days of th^ scheduled
races' were cancelled due to muddy
track.
Children'? Day, rained out on
Wednesday, was1 successfully held
on Friday afternoon and the bike
drawing was held. ■-**
Winner of the girls bike, provided ■*>#■ Harrison Chamber of Commerce, was. Mary Rilett, daugh*
ter of the Frank Rilett's of Dover
community.
Lucky number for the boys bike
was held'by eight-year old,David
Burk, son of the Rev. and Mrs.
Ernest Burk of Harrison, David's
birthday was Tuesday and he had
good reason to celebrate.
The boys bike was provided by
ihe Clare .Chamber of Commerce,
A proposal to set tha Fair'date
ahead, either earlier in September or p*0sSibly into August, • in
hopes of getting better weather,.
Will be discussed at a coming Fair
board meeting, Harrold said.
"Changing a Fair date is not so
simple" he said. It is a- matter of
holding the Fair when concessions
and shows can be scheduled and
avoid conflicts with other fair
dates".

Lee Sowle Photo On Trunklines In City To Vote Next Commission Meeting On Maintenance Worth $9,600 In City ,■ Kecognition of the effort and labor by the City of Clare Jin jttaintaining ,US*-J t and US-27 within the city limits,—and pay for the work and materials involved, is the purpose of a recent move by the city 'commission to obtain a contract for the operation with provisions for the State of Michigan to pay a share"of fche expense. '.Mehabers of the City Commission have already discussed the general advantages of such a policy, City Enginee. W;illard Wedge said this week. At the present time, Wedge said, most of the work of maintamence on these highways' is being; done fay the-city at its own expense. . The city this weeK obtained clearance from the County Highway Commission, preparatory to -- requesting a maintenance^ contract from the State Highway Department, Mayor Howard Everts and City Manager Willard Wedge recently co'nferred with State Highway officials', regarding a contract and a tentative operations budget. It was estimated that labor equipment rental and material • foi* maintenance and repair for 12 months would amount to ?9,600 of which the State Would pay $8,460 »pd the City would pay §1,200. * '-^State Highway -engineers ihstiedi- ted, the city, equipment and were satisfied that the city owned sufficient equipment with the exception of a snow plow and sander, to ■handle snow plowing and removal and ice control, and other work required by the- State. The budget set up by th_ Highway Department pays labor and equipment rental plus overhead costs 'for street cleaning, marking and -repairing, catch basins cleaning, and.storm-sewer repairs; Traffic light maintenance, Snow- removal and' ice, cdntrol" and all other work done oh US-27 and US- 10. . It was pointed out that the purchase of a street sweeper woulft be a definite -economy, since it would savp its cost within a'few years, while at the same time keeping the streets clean, ■ • In addition to the provis*. ions already mentioned, the proposed budget also covers vacation, sick—ica-yc,-- retire- - ment and compensation costs,, besides actual labor costs. <'.n>..'^.». I W«U"W'*1* 'W ." \1 REMEMBER"! bytheol_.imers n->-<_i-i»*i _-_■■,•■ i '"•* *_ From Jessamine S. Bargain, Arthur, North Dakota: I remember when General U. S. Grant came to Bismarck, Dakota Territory when the first corner stone of the Capitol was laid in 1883 and dedicated it. The former President was an elderly, distinguished-looking gentleman With a white beard, Ha stoke briefly and smiled at uS» My mother hurried us children lip to look at him and said* "Look, chil- *■ dren and always remember, you have*seen General j Grant!" We dutifully gazed, and then turned Our attention to a more familiar figure. Sitting Bull, with a group of other Indians who had surrendered to the U, S, Government five years Mter the Custer massacre, "■«.■- •3rhe' Great White Mother,'* Queen Victoria (Canada) had requested then, td leave Her domain anid they returned to Dakota after * surrendering and Were enroute* to the Standing Rock Reservation at Fort Yates, They added quite a bit' of local color to the great celebration. . ... i »«#*..■ Prom Georgia- E. Cooke Wells, Casa Grande, Arizona: I remember When men wore large polks dot hats. My father had such % hat, with blue polka dots, and I got so many Whippings over that old hat that to this day I don't like a white . dress with blue polka dots, although t do like blue dresses with white polka dots? :, Need Cash! Selling Mags The "annual magazine sales, the first and biggest money-making project at the Clare High School, •begins Thursday, September 23, ends October 7. * Every student, of the high school will have the opportunity of selling subscriptions to the magazines. The money made from these sales goes to the class treasuries, and prizes go to individuals with the highest sales record. Classes need money for three major purposes; the junior banquet and prom, miscellaneous activities such as ,'Camival, .home coming, and Social events, and a ■farewell gift. Robert Johnson of Gladwin, father .of Mrs. Tim Frey and Rich- "ard and Ralph Johnson, of Clare, died suddenly last Thursday noon When he was overcome by a heart attack. Beside the grieving widow he ik survived by five daughters and six sons. Funeral services were held in Gladwin Saturday afternoon with burial Monday in Logatt, Ohio. Mr„ and Mrs. Frey, Mr* and Mrs, Richard Johnson and soft; Dick, Ralph Johnson and, Mr* and Mrs. Robert Ackerman:. attended the funeral services from Clare, Biggest Soda In Town Pays Off Bet There's a baseball-wise youngster and his friends who staged a: real celebration of" their own on the occasion of the Cleveland Indians' pennant, grab in the American k■"• dg»e race. Mike Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs., Thomas C. -Campbell, of Clare, tint of. -"■* party whAa. he woi a bet froM his school teacher. The treat was 15 qtiafts of soda in*'a pan almost as big as a bathtub. , Cleveland fans weren't any happier. than Mike and hia pals, and if Champagne cOrks popped in the ballplayers' dressing room, the -** drinks didn't taste any better than the ■cherry flavored* "biggest soda in .town", which was the payoff Mike, a fifth grader, won* from his friend and principal, Allan Tulk. It was last April when Mike and Mr. TUlk differed"- about tbe quality of Cleveland's pitching staff,- The Clare school principal and boy_' education teacher couldh't see the Indian's top three hurlers winning 60 games among them. W-ell,, Mi*. Tulk. was a good loser and tie bought a "soda" made from this recipe: 15 scoops of ice cream mashed in three big* glasses of sweet cherry flavor. To'this ,was added enough soda water to nearly fill the huge" pan, and then a half-gallon of ice cream was floated in the sea of cherry soda. Mr. Tulk delivered the stupendous soda in person, and when Mike saw the payoff prize placed on his front steps,, he took one look of amazed unbelief and shouted, "Wow! I'll have to call the gang." The " ang" collected itself avound the hick winner and his soda about as quick as you could say, "gimme a soda straw", and everybody pitched in. . Mike told the crowd it was mighty sweet to be the winner of a bet like'this, ""specially since Mr, Tulk had a bath tub picked out to collect his treat in if fortune had reversed and he had won." 1st in League For Clare George Perry's rugged- "Pioneers served notice on their cCnference foes-that they will be no pushovers On the gridiron in 1954. The Green and White team scared, the bejabers oUt -of i bigger tea*m Irom "mk. Rapids, and looked a little ragged tout very, courageous in an impressive 7-6 loss last Friday evening. The Big Rapids Cardinals were odd-on favorites to repeat .their last year's rout ol Clare. The-1953 score was 32-0. " * , ' ' Teams from the newly .formed Mid-Michigan "B" Conference impressed each other and'-all others with .their slam-bang, rdck .-'em and sock 'em .opening ;of the 1§5_ season. ' '.-.'•' Ithaca- held powerful-Greenville High to a scoreless tie. St< Louis overpowered the Alma team 19-0 in-a. wild .upset. Shepherd's Bluejays dumped a - scrappy Evart eleven, while Durand beat -Swartz Creek. A determined Big Rapids line outcharged Clare's foreward wall to spell the difference between the teams-in the Pioneer opener. The CHS backfield couldn't get away fast enough to avoid the fast defensive play of Big Rapids linemen. "■■- '-- . A- - ■ - The game was played before an enthusiastic crowd of nearly 800 farts. , *" s Traveling to Shepherd tonight, the Pioneers will tangle with a strong Shepherd team who displayed more strength against Evart than the record shows for ihe 1953 season. Both Clare and Shepherd will be eager for their first win against a league team, and last year's Clare victory will be far from a sure thing to repeat. In spite .of a week of untimely. 1 ra.in 'th'at forced concessions" under coyer arid turned the racing track to , mud, the * Clare .County. Fair came' off * last week .mostly- on schedule, and money ahead, according*, to ..Ray , Harrold, fair board secretary. Saturday' afternoon's attendance: was'" slightly higher than the average of the week, he said. Total attendance" was tentatively estimated • At about one-third of previous years. . .*!!__• "Jp.**?"' drew over 100 exhibitors •61- livestock^ crops, "various handicraft; and ' county youth groups;. > * The" Band Concert set for Saturday afternoon went off on schedule, and was well received. Racing scheduled for that day was •cancelled as it had been on previous days. The track was too mud- dy to _a rim.- ■- ■, - Grandstand Acts were put on each night, as listed. Several of the acts playing at Clare County Fair this year were the same troupes that Were playing Sagi- new. They were called the best ever brought to this fair. Audiences gave them, an enthusiastic response. Horse racers had to pack up their animals and take them home without ever having run a race. All three days of th^ scheduled races' were cancelled due to muddy track. Children'? Day, rained out on Wednesday, was1 successfully held on Friday afternoon and the bike drawing was held. ■-** Winner of the girls bike, provided ■*>#■ Harrison Chamber of Commerce, was.

Lucky number for the boys bike was held'by eight-year old,David Burk, son of the Rev. and Mrs. Ernest Burk of Harrison, David's birthday was Tuesday and he had good reason to celebrate. The boys bike was provided by ihe Clare .Chamber of Commerce, A proposal to set tha Fair'date ahead, either earlier in September or p*0sSibly into August, • in hopes of getting better weather,. Will be discussed at a coming Fair board meeting, Harrold said. "Changing a Fair date is not so simple" he said. It is a- matter of holding the Fair when concessions and shows can be scheduled and avoid conflicts with other fair dates". Fire Chief Warns Of No Protection - '. * * - * Thg Glare Fire Department was! called out to a country fire Tuesday in Wise township, six,m_es south of Clare and six miles.east.
