There's Real Sightseeing Rewards With This
Foreign Service Career Job Of Lois Lange
N. *»,
Lois Lange, formerly of Clare>
and currently of Bangkok, Thailand (Siam), is enjoying a career that many a modern Miss
could envy.
Lois, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Will Lange, of Clare, is attached to the U. S. Foreign service in Bangkok, She has been
there, only a few weeks* having
left, this country September 23,
for her new post.
With the U.S. Foreign Service

is secretarial.
As a 1940 graduate of Clare
High School, Lois; went on to attend a Lansing secretarial school,
■ ancl applied for civil service, She
became interested in foreign ser
vice, and Upon applying Was accepted fbr the foreign field" in
1942.
Lois had a chance to'See England when she was stationed in
London in 1944.     .       , -«
Since government employees in
her type of work were given extra time off in lieu of being paid
for overtime, Lois saved these
"special leaves, and with a roommate toured a major share, of the
British Isles.
. In 1947, When she received a
new***a*ssignment to Paris, overtime procedure Was the same,
and so Lois saw most of "France,
and Visited Africa.
She came back   to the   United
'X
States in 1950, and had been "here
since, until the Bangkok assignment was given, her, Lois expects this stay abroad to be somewhat shorter than the others,
perhaps only six months.
In Bangkok, Lois lives in the ■
American Club( and describes it
in a letter   to her   parents    as
"somewhat like a motel.""
On' this latest tour of duty, she
is renewing acquaintance with
people she knew at her previous
posts abroad, and writes her parents that she very much enjoys-
Seeing familiar faces. (
Lois has Kept a diary, since her
London assignment,, So she'll be
able to relive her travels later
when they are only memories.

Little Halloween characters

at Clare Public Schools yesterday afternoon when hundreds of youngsters in holiday
draes-Up trooped through corridor ahd class. It was' a preview of trick-or-treat hours in
Wednesday-is early evening.
Clowns, animals, exotic
fairy-tale people in sneakers
and chewing bubble gum,
spooks'too, - they all extorted
apples' and candy from good-
natured folks who haven't forgotten what roguish fun Halloween can be to, a child.
Many youngsters asked a
gift of coins "for all the
world's children", in a nationwide project of United Nations
help for underprivileged in
foreign iarids. The seriousness
of the appeal did not dampen
their fun however, as they filled treat bags of sweets for
themselves along with the coin

Advanced New
Plymouths
Introduced
Introducing a new 1957 mpdel
which they claim to be far advanced in design and' power, "Plymouth
dealers unveiled their dramatic
new autos to crowds of interested
viewers Tuesday, October 30. In
Clare the Plymouths were shown
at Bruckarts and at Bob's Sales.
Lower, wider and more powerful, the new model represents a
complete change in styling, body
structure and chassis.
Mansfield said the new car is
the result of telescoping of Plymouth's forward planning.
"The car we are introducing has
the style and features of the car
we had thought, only a lew years
ago, as possible for about 1960,"
Mansfield said. "We have -moved
faster than we had hoped. The public has shown an eagerness to accept dramatic change."
1957 Plymouth models are as
much as five inches lower than
corresponding 1956 models. The
wheelbase has been lengthened to
118 inches for Standard models and
122: inches for Suburban station wagons in the 1957 line.
The new car has the appearance
of greater length which comes from
functional styling, A broad hood,
soaring tail fins and forward
thrusting headlight brow all contribute to the impression of length,
In chassis design, Plymouth has
accomplished its most significant
change "since the introduction of
independent front wheel suspensions with coil springs in 1934. The
feature is callTorsion-Aire.
In the overall re-design of the
front* suspension, coil springs havp
disappeared. They are replaced by
torsion bar springs which together
Wi,th other equally basic improvements in both front and rear, produce a new kind of ride and new
"handling,''
"For the first time oh an American passenger car, ball joints are
combines with torsion bar springs
to create the unique combination of
ride, and handling'characteristics.*'

Isabella District (Clare and Isabella counties), Both men are taking their first step in politics after
the position was vacated by Hugh
Johnston who retired after his last
term in Lansing. Sawyer, a Democrat, was an unsuccessful opponent
of Johnston's in the last election.
The Republican choice, Russell
Strange, won his^right to appear on
the General Election ballot after
besting Preston Johnson in the
August Primary race. He yras-.CQtb
firmed as the candidate, after a. to-
cout decided the close competition.
A novel slant on the race be;
"tween Strange and Sawyer- is the
former relation between the two.—'-'
Strange who studied for. a political
"career was once a class member of
Sawyer who is a political science
instructor at CMC. .'*    '      '
A total of 11,572 -votes were cast
in the 1954 election'race between
Sawyer (D) and Johnson (R)H"Tjio
Republican majority in that ejection was 2,984, with Johnson* winning a 7 to 4 margin.
Some measure of the size of the
expected vote in Clare county is
gained by a look at the ballot count
in 1954, and the .hope that ■"T'lica-
day's trek to the polls will show a
gain and new record.
Among candidates for county offices in 1954, Will Henderson was
the leaders in total votes and
counted 2,551. But 3,607 Clare
county voters marked ballots for
one or the" other of the candidates
for Governor.
In view of the sharp interest in
registration and the gain in numbers of those becoming eligible* to
vote in the General Election, observers are guessing that Tuesday'?'
