Order Installation Of
New City Hall Furnace
City employees at Clare City Hall are hoping "for a long
miid fall, at least .until the new fur-nance is installed, because there'll be no heat in the building until the new unit
is ready to generate it.
Monday night the city commission authorized City Manager Willard Wedge to advertise for bids for the job of furnishing the heating plant and installing it.
The new gas-fueled unit will' replace the old, coal burning, hand
stoked furnace that has heated the
City Hall more or less haphazardly
in the past, Wedge said.
This will be the third heating
unit used in the building since it
was built. A second-hand unit was
installed Initially, and the coal,
burner replaced that some years
since, to be replaced in its turn by
the new gas heater.
•During the past two or three
years, the coal burner had been
using .up increasing amounts of
repairs, Wedge said, and this year
is beyond the help of a reasonable
amount of repair. .
He said that the job should be
done by late in October.
This week, city work crews are
putting in curb and gutter around
the city's parking lot. One entrance to the lot has been left on
the Fourth Street side, and two
on the Beech Street side. The
blacktopping* job at the park has
been completed for this year.
The first of next week, preliminary work on the new Fourth Street
storm sewer will start. Material
for the job is all ordered, and the
second week in October, everything will be set for the contractors to move in and drive, the
sewer line under the C&O railroad bed.
After months of negotiations
With railroad company officials,
the city commission got the go-
ahead sign early this fall, to put
the" sewer line under the railroad.
This addition to the city's storm
sewer system is expected to solve
the flood problem in businesses on
Fourth Street, during heavy rain-
storms.

Watch
School Kids,
Says Chief
Chief Bert Head today announced that the City of Clare Michigan
is 'cooperating with the State
Safety Commission on the annual
September "WATCH. OUT FQR
KIDS" traffic safety program.:
"Each yeaa-", the Chief said,
"motorists need reminding that
Children are returning to school
and that there is a special need
to watch out for them - many of
whom have just returned from
carefree vacations have not adapt-,
ed themselves to the rountine of
going to and from schools".
According to Chief Head 5,057
children (0-14 years of age) were
struck down by automobiles oft the
streets and highways of Michigan
last - 119 of them died 'and many
"were crippled for life.
"Our department will pay particular attention to speeding near
schools during the first few weeks
Of Septembr as a forceful reminder
to all motorists to watch their
speed as" they watch out for kids
in school areas," the Chief continued.
The Chief gives the following
advice to parents. They are urged
to teach their children this simple
rule by repeating it over and over
again:
STOP at the curb
LOOK both ways
WAIT until it's safe to cross
WALK across the street
In   conclusion   the   Chief   said,
"Hitting  a  little  girl   or a  little
boy with a ton and a half of steel
is not a pleasant thing to do. You,
as" a driver in such an accident,
would find small comfort in  the
fact  that  the  police   may  decide
that the mishap was caused primarily by the child's own carelessness.

Clare Pioneer Band will begin the
sale of their new 1956 Community
Birthday Calendar, according to
Mr. Conley, director of the baud.
, On October 10 the members of
the senior band will begin contacting the people "of Clare and
the surrounding territory in hopes
of getting as many people as possible to have their-names-on. the
calendar and to subscribe to the
calendar as well.
The more people that get their
birthdate on the calendar, the
•more useful it becomes to everyone. Many people who were not
contacted last year have expressed
their wishes to have their name
placed on the calendar for this
next year. Attempts will be made
to contact everyone, but if anyone
Is missed and wishes his or her
name placed on the calendar, they
may contact Mr Conley or any
member of the band or the newly
organized Band Boosters Club.
The proceeds from the sale of
the calendar and listings will go
toward the purchase of new band
uniforms, Mr. Conley anticipates
being 16 uniforms short by next
fall giving that much more importance to the success of the
calendar drive this fall.
