HERRICK ANNEXES
Election returns from the
Herrick School District, Wlee
Twp. No, 2, place that district
in the annexatipn column by
the vote of 25-8. Director Cyril
Bolle said that the thirty-three
voters represented about thirty percent of the eligible voting strength  in the district.
, Merger of three more schools
with- the Clare district was accomplished in the past" week when
voters at Colonville (Sheridan
Twp. 3), phinisey School (."Vernon
Twp. 1), and Loomis (Wise Twp.
1) approved proposals to annex
with' the Clare school.
The decision at the three latest
elections were important victories
for the area school reorganization
plan because they are large districts whose favorable influence
is; sure to be felt throughout the
balance of the area where voting
is still to be scheduled.
At Colonville on May 31, ballots \
were counted, 42 in. favor of the
annexation and 20 against, despite
intensive campaigning by a few
individual residents who opposed
the measure. The proposal to increase the limitation on taxes for
debt retirement carried 38-21, and
the proposal to assume a share of
the district's debt was successful
by a 43-19 majority.
At the Phinisey election on June
4, a majority of more than three-
to-one gave annexation their approval. Identical counts of 43-12
were for annexation and millage
increase, while a majority of 28-11
carried the proposal for assuming
the share of the new - district's
debt.

Plans Ready
For June 15
Sidewalk Sale
Approaching time for the Sidewalk Sale to be staged next Friday, June 15 in Clare has brought
announcements from. Chamber of
Commerce committee chairmen
and workers that plans are iii
complete readiness for a big gala
day of merchandise sale bargains,
unusual street displays and decorations, give-away treats for
youngsters, and activity for the
w'hole family.
Clare retailers, sponsoring the
sale event expect the biggest
crowd in town since the day, two
Christmasses ago when Santa
ClaUs landed on McEwan street in
a helicopter.
There will be no Santa thia
time . . , not in a red suit anyway,
but Clare businessmen are ready
to play Santa with special sale
merchandise at money-saving prices and with 400 pounds of peanuts
for the children (they, can help
themselves wherever- they go) plus
free balloons. *•
A parody ori a popular song has
become the theme melody of the
sale event and crowds in Clare
June 15 will hear a special WCEN
radio station recording of,"On The
Sidewalks Of Clare'' played from
loud speakers.
Tables containing ihe special
. sale -merchandise will be on the
streets in front of .all businesses
participating in the Sale/
Seventy-two electors at Loomis
on Tuesday voted, better than nine-
to-one for joining with Clare and
the new district. Warren Tice, on
the district, school' board there
said that the large Vote was very
representative and compared well
with the .largest turnout of about
80 persons which is remembered
as the largest attendance at school
meetings there.
"Loomis voting on the millage
proposal was 6f3-6, and for assuming the share df debt, 60-9 to carry
both.
Latest tota]s of districts which
•haye officially become part of the
new reorganized, school district include Brand', Wilson, West Grant,
Colonville, Phinisey, and , Loomis,
■fijlections" are scheduled- at the*
Herribk school. June 6, Vernon
Center June 7, the Brewer School
Jt-fte 11, "and at .the Garrqw School
Jvjne 14.* ..       ' "   *     .
. A petition has been made for
the. election at the . McKinley
school but a date for-tlie balloting
h&s  not  yet been  annpuiiced.- ■
."Eight rural schools, in the area
normally serviced by Clare Public schools, which have received
•invitations to join in the district
reorganization have hot yet. petitioned for elections on the issue, and in one election at ■ the
Brown School the proposals, failed
to pass.       .. '    ,
Electors in most districts where
voting has already, been; held express satisfaction with the • information available which enabled
them to -make an informed choice.
With district elections about half
over more information material
was made available to voters and
to the County School Board by
members of a committee with the
assignment of contacting the Midland, Michigan^ school administration for facts which might be
pertinent to the situation in the
Clare area.   ' "
An earlier trip to- Midland was
made by Frank Rilett, chairman of
the committee who returned with
material ffom the Midland County^ School Board. This week Floyd
Squires,''a, member of the same
committee- • received more complete information concerning the
issue of "the Midland City Schools'
annexation of rural districts.
. Mr. Squires' "letter from- Pr. Earnest Brittoh, superintendent * of
Midland ^schools contains facts to
refute assertions that Midland
school taxes •ate excessive, that
lav*.'suits .areSpending to obtain
entrance in Midland schools for
non-resident students, that organized opposition1* from Midland
area is blocking the annexation
processes'." .
Dr. Britton said that .Midland's
Highly rated school system with a
new HH Million high school plant
now under construction, costs tax-%
payers, only 6.85 mills new build'
ing tax, and 9.2 mills- operating
tax. ( '*    "    •
" Declaring that "Good schools
speak .for themselves,", Dr. Britton "said that the Midland City
Board ■ of Education has . given no
answer; alor other recognition to
anti - annexation campaign statements by the opposition. Vet, since
1953 thirteen rural districts have
merged with Midland and an approximately equal number have
asked now to be considered for
annexation. Only four districts
have voted "No" on the issue.
Some of the anti - annexation
methods and campaign literature
similar to that used in the Midland area found their way into
pre-election efforts nearer Clare
and were evident in the Loomis
district election campaign.*
Results indicated that heaviest
attacks against the reorganization
plan tended to work in reverse
ahd bring more districts into the
joint effort for centralized schools.
Dr. Britton also commented that
no * lawsuits are now pending
against the Midland schools.

79 Capped And Gowned
Seniors A wait Graduation
After months of negotiations and
planning to arrange for rural representation on the board of education of the new Clare Reorganized
school 'district, rural people have
apparently lost interest in being
represented. >. **'* *    •   H    *
■a »
As late. as Wednesday* morning,
no rural candidates had stepped
forward to make a bid for
a seat on. fb> Cla**eV*Board of Education, that v/ilFpe available in
the July 9 election.
One place on the board will-be
open due to th'e expiration of the
term o'f one of the members*.     _  *
Last March, the Clare board announced that another place would
be conditionally opened, if it was
needed, The condition was that all
twenty two rural primary districts
originally invited to annex, do so.
Some <of the districts „ have already voted down the annexation
proposal and the Clare Board will
probably announce it's final decision on making another seat available at the next meeting.
Tlie second opening on the Clare
Board would be made by the voluntary resignation of One of the
present board members. '
Under    the redrganized    school
district plan, election of a school
board will involve -tiling of petitions by candidates, rather thah
nominations -from, the floor at a
general meeting.
Seats on the board of education
will be filled by an election at
la'rge, rather than any scats being
tagged'for a Clare or rural representative-.
Since  the  Clare  school vote .$s I
traditionally,   small,   rural areas'1
should be able to place members
on the school board with ease.
Interested     candidates    are   re- j
minded   that petitions" signed   by]
twenty five qualified 'school -electors, must be in to the- Clare school
office On or before June 19, twenty
days prior to the July 9 election. *»
Petitions are available, at the
office of Superintendent Richard
Wheeler.. As of late this week only one .had been taken out, Wheeler said.
