Plan For
High School
At a meeting of the Citizens
Advispry Committee Thursday evening of last week,
members indicated by majority-vote that they approve the
"general architectural plan"
presented by Clark Ackley for
a new high school building.

inclusion, of a swimming pool
in the school but committee
members thought that an
auditorium should be dropped
from . present , planning .pe^
cause of expense 'involved for
that item.        .*',.'  '
The committee, having
completed another p h a s e of
study and recommendations
for the School Board, plans no
further meetings for the present. . . -   •. •
The building plan shown to
the committee is for a 65>000
sq, ft. high school estimated to
cost $850,000.
In considering cost' of the entire
school program for the district .in
relation to estimated ability to pay,
the committee * deferred ■ judgement

Oilers After
Loss To Jays
Clare High School basketeers
salved their bruised season rating
a little with a Tuesday night victory over a Mt. Pleasant Five, but
only after CHS was tumbled from
the spot at the top of the "B" Conference standings by a loss to
Shepherd here on Friday.
The pioneers are now halfway
through a busy home-court flurry
of four- games in twelye days, and
are yet to clash with Chesaning
here Friday night and Harrison
her© next Tuesday, January 15.
•Shepherd earned the 51-38 decision over Clare with fa&t-break of-
fonse- thrusts which paid off in
short lay-ups and close in shots.
The, Pioneer attack w.as smothered under the backboards where
Shepherd controlled rebounds.
Going into the Fright night
game, Shepherd and Clare were undefeated in Mid-Michigan B Conference play. Clare had taken the
measure of Ithaca and Durand in'
early season contests
In the Shepherd game, the Pioneers missed their veteran scorer,
Bernie Longstreth, who was sidelined' because of illness. Without
him the CHS score was held to six
points in the first quarter.
John Miller, Clare's 6' 2" center
displaced bis taewlfc<our£at :,ho#,
shot to good advantage in chalking
up 15 points in the Pioneer cause.
Guy Hanechow was second high
man for Clare with 13 points.
Team standings in the conference were shuffled as a result of
the week end play and now appear
as follows: -'     (

Team  Clicks Against Oilers
The Pioneers had a scoring field
day against the Mt.. Pleasant quintet Tuesday night and emerged
from the encounter with a 60-41
win.
Center John Miller's individual'
performance stood out with a 26-
point game total, and rebound control of the ball under the boards.
His score was just 4 points short
of the record for a Clare player
in any one game*.
Coach George Perry expressed
satisfaction with the squad's comeback after the loss to Shepherd.
Bernie Longstreth was able to
play a little over half of the game
and contributed 7 points to the
total.
Away to an early lead in the
start of the game, the Green and
White was never headded. Their
margin at the three-quarter mark
was 49-25 and they coasted through
the final period with frequent substitutions to rest the starting five.
Sheridan
Agrees To
New Fire Rate
Sheridan township property
owners were added to the list of
those protected from fire through
agreement with the Clare Fire Department when their signed contract and check to cover the
stand-by fee were received by
Clare ^Commissioners last week.
This action brings to two, the
townships which have agreed to
•new contract terms .for fire-fight-,
fer service since rates were raised.
Agreements are in force calling for
Clare fire protection, for Sneridan
township, and' portions , of Wise
township.
Grant Supervisor Clair Stanley
had informed City Commissioner*
jthat terms of the offered contract
would. have to be approved by
voters in his township. Vernon
tpwiiship is reported to be planning a similar referendum On' the
question of paying increased fees
The proposal is seen as a probable addition to township ballots
for the coming  April election.
Contracts which called for annual . stand-by fees of $350. and $50
additional for each alarm that is
answered,*4 were scrapped last November. This action was termed
necessary by the Clare City Commission- when that group was
Shown evidence that townships
contribution toward Clare FD operation cost did not equal equipment use in rural "runs."
New terms offered the four
townships called for $1,000 fla:
fee for stand-by service in Grant,
Sheridan and Vernon, and $500 Mi
the same service in Wise. The
trip charge for answering alarms
in the four townships was increased to $75.

Brown Vote
Annexation of the Brown school
district (Hatton twp. 2 fr.) to Clare
-Reorganized District 8 was accomplished by a wide margin Saturday,
January 5, as a total of 33 Brown
district voters marked 27 ballots
in favor, and only six showed they
were opposed;
It was the second time within
the past year that the measure had
been put to Brown voters. The first
time, May 15, 195G, it was defeated
16-16.
Official results of the Saturday
balloting were reported to the Office of County School Commissioner Lenord Schwanz by Brown

The decision of the Brown school
voters to annex with the Clare Reorganized District S came a few

Watervliefs Barking Milt Goes To Work This Month
Tree farming in the counties surrounding Clare, Michigan — halt
way up the Lower Peliisula — hap
received a -big boost as a result of
the growing wood demands of a
new pulp mill constructed in Wa-
tervliet by theiWatervliet.Paper Co.
More .than one-quarter of a million dollars will be paid annually
for wood, mainly aspen ("popple"),
according to Watervliet's chief
forester, John Hanson, stationed at
Clare.
The Waiervliet mill will use approximately 25,000 cords of wood
per- year 'in turning out coated
paper stock for the printing trade.
As soon as the Glare Operations
tire in full swing, most of this wood
will be shipped by rail from the
company's concentration yard
there.
After extensive studies of Michigan's wood supply and <3emand,
the company chose Clare as its
base of operations. Early this year
the 54-acre wood yard was established beside the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway tracks at the west
edge of Clare.
Wood shipped to Watervliet has
the bark removed. When the company's new Cambio barking machine is in operation at tho yard —
sometime in January, wood purchased at Clare- will be in "rough"
(unbarlced)  condition.
During 1956 it has been' neces
sary to purchase some hancl-peelec'
wood, according to Hanson, to kee)
the mill - running until the hi:
barker is installed. The barker wil
allow year-around wood production
whereas hand-peeled wood can onlj
be produced beginning from thf
middle of April up to inid-Augusi
under normal  weather conditions
The quarter million dollars paid
for timber will be divided between
woodland owners, cutters, skidders.
and truckers, said Hanson. At present more than. 100 operators are
hauling to the wood yard at Glare,
some of them employing several
persons.
The company does no logging,
hut contracts with private opera-
ors for their wood production.
, Watervliet management feeh
.hat there is a large forest potenti
il in the area surrounding Clare
Nearly a half-million acrefe of as
)en-type land in the six-county ares'
tributary to Clare will furnish :<
continuing supply of pulpwood foi
the long-range  Operation.
Federal and state forest agencies
estimate the present merchantable
volume On this area exceeds two
million cords.
The company plans to encourage
tree farming through its wood buying area, and in this' effort Hanson
is now serving the Michigan Tree
Farm Committee as Tree Farm
forester   in   several   cotmtV'S.   A
graduate fpresler_Hauson has gain-
ul wide 'experience .in Michigan
forestry through his , former employment in cooperative forest
nanagement work with the Michigan Department of' Conservation
Hanson said that .most wood-
using industries were making services for their trained foresters
available \o help 'woodland owners,
practice tree farming. Those practicing good forestry are enlisted in
the indnstry(sponsored American
'Tree Farm System.
, The Watervliet "pulpwood payroll" will be a boon to the Clare
Urea, as much of the land to the
north is marginal farmland, best
suited for growing timber crops,
