CHS Classes
Turn Out
. A new law regarding auto operators licenses for minors with accredited! driver training, and favorable auto insurance rates when
youhg drivers have passed such
training courses place much emp-'
hasis" on good driving instruction.
Clare Public School is ready, for
this increased interest in training
students, And already has .large:
classes receiving most up-to-date
driver training, according tp Don
Richardson, instructor.
More than* sixty students ^are;;eh-
rolled for classroom and behinjcl--
the wheel learning as drivers.
A late additiont to the equipment
for driver instruction is a device
for measuring driver reaction
speed in situations demanding sudden stops. Small cartridges attached to the auto are mpchanicallyi
fired to discharge chalk marks on
the road surface and mark the
spots where a signal is given, and
the* brakes are applied. Distance
between the chalk marks measures
feet traveled at a known speed and
the reaction time of the driver applying brakes is revealed.
Drivers are always impressed at
the long distance which the auto
nioves in only the fraction of a
second needed to reach the brakes.
• Otheri modem H/*iver training
and testing devices together with
sound classroom instruction in
traffic-laws* and'safe rules ol the
road are helping-turn out better
auto operators in this important
phase of Clare's school curriculum.

Programs in most churches will be held Sunday evening,
December 23u with other holiday gatherings throughout the

4 An architect's survey report lately made public by the
Clare School Board has advanced four proposals and recommendations for a school building program, and outlined
probable costs of school construction to accomodate elementary students through 1965, and high school enrollment
through i96(/.   -
A departure from former lines of study on early elementary classroom construction is a recommendation to build a
Kindergarten-through-Fourth grade school in the northwest
part of-Clare, or in a location close to that area.'       '
According to information on home location 'of early ele-*
menta.ry students, the section of the re-organized school 'district west of highway US-27 and north of US-10 sends enough
yo'ungsters to school to fill such an outlying classroom unit
•at once. .-■■'

■.Revised cost estimates of total new construction* and • remodeling needed in the school program, -are now in the
neighborhood of $1,253,000. . '  .* . '

between Clark Ackleyf ihe
architect and Clare's school
administrators and b o "a r d
members scheduled soon,, and
plans to call an important

has hopes for a-special election as early as next month to
place the issue of bonding for

voters of the whole district.

Bes-Bet, a cream'preparation for
hair conditioning ahd the relief of
scalp itching and common dis-,
orders of the scalp is to make its
bow as a new product in retail
outlets -this week. Manufactured
and trade-marked by Mr. and Mrs.
Jim.Murphy and Mr. and Mrs. Hob
Gprddn, the production and saie of
this household remedy item promises .to become a prospering.
Clare industry! ,
. With, success claims in treatment of scalp*.disorders such as
falling hair and- common dandruff
backed by numerous, trial treatments; the makers of- Bes-Bet are
already organizing for the distribution of their product in Michigan,
and later throughout larger areas.
The. cream is packed in white
china jars of the beauty preparation variety, printed and trimmed
with shiny- black. Sales are to be
made through beauty and barber
shops, and drug stores. ,
Reason for the outstanding success of Bes-Bet iu treating ailing
scalps is a secret in the formula.
Betty Murphy said. In a professional search of patent records in federal offices, no prior registration
of similar products was found.
The secret ingredients and
their proportions were re-discovered by Mrs. Murphy decades after
her grandfather realized the healing power of the cream, and wrote
the receipe on paper. She began to
experiment with uses for the cream
as early as 1953 and was encouraged by her t'rieud, Mrs. Bessie Ny-
jStrom tOx produce the remedy for
commercial sale. The decision to
name the product Bes-Bet, came
from combining first syllables in
their given names. „        ,,
Later the budding enterprise became the property of Betty and
Jim Murphy, attd Betty's brother
Bob Gordon with Mrs. Gordon,
Ruth. The name is a registered
.trade mark now, and Bes-Bet has
the approval of Federal Pur© Food
and Drug authorities
* Plannnig to- incorporate, the two
couples are- already equipped to
produce as much as one thousand;
jars of the cream' each day, Stainless steel mixing equipment is installed in the,basement workroom
of the Gordon home -tvhere Bes-Bet
is produced and packed for ship*
ping,' Murphy, a building contractor, says a small plant will be built-
'in, or hear Clare in the future. '
At the start, four sales representatives will sell Bes-Bet in Michigan's lower peninsula. Orders are
to be filled from the company's
mailing address, Postoffice Box 95
in Clare. The owners are particularly proud of the packaging appearance of their product which is
shipped in display-cartons. The "cartons and special jars are new and
in use this week for the first time.
Recommended retail price of the
Jeveain is '$1.49.
