Teen Dances
, , The Clare Community
Council, following a meeting
June 27, will go to the Clare
City Commission and ask permission to resume the teen
age dances in the city hall.
A year's schedule of two adult
chaperones for each dance will be
presented to the commission, to accompany the Council's request.
If the OK Of the commission is
pbtalned, the dances will resume
on the second Saturday in September. It was thought by the community council that because so
many young people are away ou
vacation, attendance would probably'not he good during the summer months.
Mr. and Mrg, Ken Boe and Mr,
and Mrs. Howard Everts will contact adults for the chaperone schedule, and explain duites to them.
At last week's community council meeting the Clare Little League requested that the council pay
for some printed programs. The
council voted to do so.
About ten adults and several
teenagers were present for the
meeting. Next meeting is set for
August 29.

Bridge at Mackin^
As One of State's I^eadiiig Tourist Attractions
Michigan this summer is offering
two special vantage points for visitors "to the state's gigantic Mackinac* Bridge construction site.
One is in Mlchllimacltinac State
Park, in Mackinaw City, lower peninsula approach to the bridge; the
other in the Straits State Park
near St. Ignace, gateway city to the
upper peninsula.
Sidewalk superintendents w.ill be
able to check construction progress
against *a set of statistics and dimensions shown on a large picture
of the bridge as seen from each ol
the vantage points.
"For a close-up view, special excursion boats run the full length of
the huge engineering operation to
take, visitors witliin rivet throwing
distance of the 500-foot high support towers.
When completed next year, the
five mile long bridge will span the
Straits of Mackinac to provide the
first motoring link between Michigan's upper and lower peninsulas.
In February-of 1954, the Mackinac Bridge Authority of the State
of Michigan received a check for
$99,800,000 realized from the sale
of  revenue   bonds   for   the   long-
dreamed-of Mackinac Bridge,
It was estimated that construction of the bridge itself would cost
something over $79 millions of
dollars, Then there were real
estate, administrative costs, preliminary expenses and financing
charges to be considered besides,
that would absorb the balance.
Back in 1SS4 farsighted newspaper people and businessmen in
the state were dreaming o£ the
possibility of a physical link between the two peninsulas of
Michigan.
The new five-mile span between
the state's iwo pehlns.ulas. has-, ai
over-all length including approaches
of 26,195- feet, 17,918 '.feet of* this is

Coast Guard
To Board
50,000 Craft
During the 1955 boating season,
the U. S. Coast Guard boarded
over 46,000 motorboats on federal
wafers-in the Great Lakes area
and intends this year to go over
50,000.
Of this number last year, one
out of every ten boats boarded was
cited for a violation of the Motor-
boat Act . . . failure to have suf-
'ficie'nt'*safety"*etiulpn\erit to ^eet"
the Ifegal minimum requirements
of the law.
' In 75 percent of the violations,
failure to have a sufficient number of life-saving devices aboafd
accounted for the citing. All motorboats, regardless of their size,
must have a life-saving device,
approved by the Coast Guard, for
each person on board.
Motorboats of less than 40 feet
in length must have one Coast
Guard approved life preserver,
buoyant vest, ring buoy, or buoyant cushion, in, good condition, for
each person on board. Motorboats
from 40 to 65 feet must have one
Coast Guard approved life preserver, or ring buoy for each person on board. (Buoyant cushions
or buoyant vests will not meet the
requirements .of the law on this
class motorboat).
Motorboats which carry passengers for hire must have an approved jacket type life preserver
for each person on board, and an
additional number of approved
life preservers suitable for children, equal to at least 10 percent
of the total of persons' aboard. Operators of such craft must also be
licensed by the Coast Guard.
All life preservers, to meet the
requirements of the Motorboat
Act, MUST display the stamp of
approval by the U. S. Coast Guard,
in the case of buoyant vests or
cushions, a tag must be attached
showing the Coast Guard's approval.
This law is for the boatmen's
own protection. In the event of an
emergency, such as a collision,
fire, swamping, etc. . . you cannot
walk away, the life preserver may
save your life.
Farwell Homes Getting
Gas For Heat, Cooking
A natural gas distribution system
has been constructed at Farwell,
and the village is expected to have
gas available for use by this winter,
according to an announcement from
Michigan Consolidated Gas recently.
Meter Installations were to be
Started early this week.
The Gas Company announced that
it has begun construction on pipe
line facilities which will provide
natural gas this year for 11 western
and central Michigan communities.
John V. Rodenbeck, Mt. Pleasant
district manager, said total cost of
the facilities Would be $4,730,000. He
added that an additional $1,594,000
would "be spent this year on distribution systems in the new service areas. ' _ • . .      ' ■ *   *
Three of the cities, Ludington,*
Traverse City and Cadillac, are
presently served with,manufactured gas by Michigan - Consolidated.-
The others, Montague, "Whitehall,
Morley, Stanwood, Lakeview, Far-
well and the townships of Montague
and White River, have no gas distribution systems.
The Michigan Public Service
Commission approved the new construction after the Federal Power
Commission allocated 200 million
cubic feet of gas a day to Michigan
Consolidated from the New American Louisiana Pipe Line. The interstate pipe line is expected to be
completed Some time this summer.
"I cannot say this far ahead exactly when natural gas will be
available in any of the hew areas,"
Rodenbeck said. "But we expect to
be finished before the coming
heating-season," he added.
The Company will construct approximately 66 miles of 10 and 12
inch pipe line between Clare County and Traverse City with a spur
line to-Cadillac. This project, including "receiving stations, will cost
some $2,230,000. The Company will

Rodenbeck said that the required
pipe has been delivered to each of
the projects and the receiving stations have been prefabricated and
are ready to install.

A food source book developed by
the Michigan Department of Agriculture that sHows primary and
secondary sources of food in the
state for use. in the event of
enemy-borne emergency has recently been given national recognition by the Federal Civil Defense
administratioo..  . .
As- far as is known Michigan's
food source book is the only one of
its kind In existence! It was prepared by the Michigan Department
of Agriculture ,to. aid the procurement program .of the Michigan Office of Civil Defense. Five copies
were made.
Through large state maps and
detailed lists from current agricultural files, the Food Source
book not only shows warehouses,
but contains potato, grain and
bean Storages; creameries, \ cheese
factories, butter manufacturers,
cannerje,s, meat packing .plants,
sausage .manufacturers, and other
production points. Volume and capacities _ are included wherever
possible. . .'.:
the book goes further by showing* production regions of poultry
and meat animals. It also" shows
the growing . sections for • field,
vegetable and-specialty crops.
In the Case Of processing and
storage plants, addresses and telephone numbers have been indicated for use in emergency.

its summertime role as the nation's
"fish bowl".
Well over a million fishing licenses were sold to Michigan residents and visitors last year alone,
attesting., the state's popularity,
among .the nation's anglers.
This popularity is founded on
real fishing variety, for Michigan
offers more than 11,000 iakes, 36,-
000 miles of streams and 3,000
miles of Great Lakes shoreline
from which to choose a favorite
fishing spot.
Within this abundance of inland
water thrive more than 140 species
of freshwater, fish; from the tiny,
silvery smelt to king-size muskies
and tackle-breaking lake trout and
sturgeon.
As-an added attraction, perch

Wheat Men
To Vote
On Quotas
How wheat farmers vote in the
July 20 referendum on wheat marketing quotas will actually affect
only two parts of the 1957 wheat
program/ according to Floren J
Pudvay, Chairman of the Clare
county Agricultural 'StabiliiSation
and Conservation Committee.
Whether or not quotas are approved, acreage allotments will remain
in effect for the crop( the chairman declared.
The two, points at issue in the
vote are (1) whether marketing
quotas shall be in effect, with penalties, on ."excess" wheat from
farms (with more than 15. acres
of wheat harvested as grain) not in
compliance with the acreage allotment; and (2) the level of price
support available to those who comply with their farm acreage allotments.
If quotas are approved by at least
two-thirds Of'those who Vote in the
referendum", .the quotas and penalties for excess production will be
in effect, and price,support on the
crop will be available at a level
between 75 and 90 percent of parity
to those who comply with the
farm wheat allotments*
If more than- one-third of the
voters disapprove the quotas, there
will be no marketing quotas and no
penalties for excess production, and
the available price support will
drop to 50.percent of parity, as provided by law.
Whether or not quotas are in effect, acreage allotment will remain
in effect for the 1957 wheat crop.
Chairman Padvay explained that
wheat marketing quotas and acreage allotments operate only in commercial wheat States, i_ eluding
Michigan. Since the quotas affect
those growers in. the commercial
area who- will have hioi'c than-' 15
acres of wheat for harvest as grain
on a farm in "1957, these growers
are the only ones eligible to vote in
tho referendum.
