Clare Manufacturing' Company
this week issued an anouncement
concerning a change-over program
now in process which will eventually bring about the plant's complete conversion to aircraft production, and the end of auto carburetor manufacturing in Clare.
The conversion, in the planning

future toy production and employment in the local plant. ■    ■   '
Explaining that mutliple manufacturing sources for essential
items, has long been considered
"good policy", the company said

The company statement continued, "Locating additional sources
'outside heavily populated, highly

otheT factors considered.
"September 1, 1957, has been tentatively set as a termination date
for automotive work here. Unusual
apd unforeseen conditions can alter tJjits date.
"Duringthe final stages of conversion, a low point in employment
is expected. This will be temporary,
however, and a normal employment
of about 400 to 500 people should be
reached, as the aircraft program
gains momentum in the ensuing
months.

were urged to contact their state
representative and senator.

ganization, which already has'produced local funds, said Department
of Mental Health has included in
its 1957 budget request, provisions

Wayne county.
However, Marshall told other directors of the organization here last
night,.he has been'advised there is
no assurance that the state funds
will be allocated or that if allocated
the Mt. Rleasant unit will be included.
Directors learned that'usually the
Legislature leaves, the question of
specific location to the M-eutal
Health Department but that In
some cases it grants funds on direct
specification for a particular area.

but other interested persons and

about the importance of this clinic,"

Preston Johnson, of Rosebush,
Was the guest speajcer at the regular evening meeting of th. Clare

trade, which is ohe sound basis
for world peace,
