Decision Expected In
Suit Over GarfieU Vote
A suit in Glare County circuit
court to establish a clear right
to represent Garfield township
on the Board of Supervisors was
heard, last Friday, October 11
when attorneys for Stanley
Oman, and Clinton R. Case argued before visiting Judge Howard Campbell, from Cadillac.
Judge Donald E. Holbrook had
excused • himself from the case.
Seven questionable ballots
hold the answer to which man
will be finally' seated on the
Board as the properly elected
supervisor from Garfield township,, The outcome has been uncertain since last April when
the township election board
there pronounced the contest a
tie between Oman and Case,
The men each had 117 ballots
counted. ' ' "
Of the seven ballots< not counted for either candidate, but still
in question, five have tseen
claimed byt Mr. Case and his
counsel, Harold B. Hughes. Two
are being claimed by Mr. Oman
and his legal representative,
Robert Campbell.
In the time which has elapsed
since the election, Mr. Oman has
been a member of the Board of
Supervisors.
Oman, the incumbent candidate for the office went to Harrison as the duly certified representative from Garfield after
winning the seat in a "drawing
lots" settlement of the issue
last April "'IS. The drawing was
determined upon as means of
settling the question after a recount failed to break the tie.
Busy this week in the year's
most inlportant session of the
County Board, Mr, Oman is active on four committees of that
group. He is listed on committees for Equalization, Ways and
Means, Salaries, and Settlement
with The County Welfare Department.
U
The decision in. the case is expected from Judge Campbell,
"Within a few days", or sometime early next week.
Mr, Case, who has been hospitalized with a mild illness,
since last Weekend, is improved
and hopes to be home in time to
hear the 'outcome of his appeal.
"Dina-Stoor"
-Yes, That's
What It Was
Mrs, Abbie Paxton of R-2
Clare, decided that a fitting
name for the stump monster
discovered * several weeks ago- -by
C. H. Sweet would be the
Knarled Dini-Stoor, and she won
first prize in the contest sponsored by Mr. Charles Sweet, a
petroleum   products  distributor.
The comic-ferocious stumpt in
the likeness of a pre-historic
monster became the object of
public "affection" several weeks
ago after he was discovered and
his picture circulated on the
pages of The Sentinel. Dina-
Stoor is getting national attention from publicity in a Widely
circulated trade magazine in the
oil industry.
Other winning entries were
from Chick Williams, of .Clare,
who named thp hutel^g. sifcng-
toothed stump Wild Auger Handles, for second prize, and Mrs.
Marie Horning, of Clare, who
called it Megaterum, and won
third prize.
Their prizes were merchandise
and service gifts from the.oil
company distributor.
Mr. Sweet found the oddly-
shaped stump in Isabella county, and With a few minor additions turned it into a convincing

At Nearby Pipes Theatre

the revered and colorful figures
of the eternally dramatic story
of Exodus in Cecil B. DeMille's
production, The Ten Commandments. The monumental dramatization of the life of Moses,
which opens for a special engagement at the Pines theatre
Houghton 'Lake on Friday, October 18, (tomorrow), recreates
a score of Biblical personages
that are beloved by Christian,
Jew and Moslem, and the utmost
care went into the vital problem
of casting. *°*
The key roles of Moses and his
royal opponent Rameses II went
respectively to Charlton Heston
and Yul Brynner: to Heston for
the qualities of sincerity and
spirituality DeMille saw in him,
for his proven dramatic ability
and because he had the enor*
mous physical stamina required
of an actor who actually had to
follow in Moses' footsteps
through the deserts of the Sinai
Peninsula and along the sun-
broiled slopes of Mount Sinai?
and to Brynner for his natural
aura of power and strong phys*
ical appeal   -.
