$2,50 Y-sas in Clar-a- Isabella Cowaiioa
AT SAGINAW
To Steal Fair Spotlight
One place where a "roving eye"
is entirely acceptable, is the 1958
Harvest Holiday Saginaw Fair.
An immobilized eye could never
take in the bewildering array of
gadgets and gewgaws . . . ranging from devices that enable you
to "hear through your nose" to
politicking politicians. Hundreds
of merchants and manufacturers,
eager to display their wares, will
occupy a fairway of glittering
display booths at the 45th annual Saginaw Fair, September 7-13.
Fair-goers will find it a test of
their will power to break away
from a highly impraactical display of Christmas decorations,
featuring a Lawrence Welk-type
bubble machine. TV fans will indulge in some wishful thinking
when they view television on a
picture tube separated from the
chassis . . . and hi fi enthusiasts
will hear the newest advances in
Stereophonic and high fidelity
sound. Women will wax rapturous over exciting new split-level
built-in ovens and ranges.
Homeowners and prospective
homeowners will be exposed to
a' staggering array of ideas for
the home . . . ranging from new
color-styled plywood decorative
panels to doors with gagnetic
locks and no hinges. Ever hear
of fiberglass awnings that are
removable from inside the house
... or combination windows with
disappearing screens? You'll see
them on display for the first
time at the Saginaw Fair.
For the hard of hearing there
are displays featuring glasses
that let you "hear through your
nose." Still another exhibitor
will invite you to "Step up and
have your hearing tested on the
spot." Free driver training courses will be given away at still
another booth. Car owners will
see what's current and choice in
auto seat covers, custom anterior
trims, and convertible tops.
If you like, you can even attend
an auction, with new arc-welders
going to highest bidders. Then,
ifk you have any\ strengtji -left
pact and modem hot water* heating systems that furnish a year
around supply of water at two
temperatures. A display of new
kitchens, featuring -mix and
match color schemes, new molded counter tops, and plastic recreation room facilities, will at-

Next Sunday
The Sixth ^Annual Art Exhibit
of Clare area" artists will be held
SundayJ September 7 from 12

Doherty. All interested persons
are invited to attend, .
Twenty - seven artists' from
Clare, Rosebush, Coleman, Cadillac, Harrison, Grayling and Mt.
Pleasant will show some of their
works completed this year under
the direction of Clare art instructor Virginia Seitz.
In conjunction with the area
painters, two Clare artists, Max-
ine Kirkpatrick and Sarah Beck,
will each have special works on

Room of the hotel. Mrs. Kirkpatrick paints a series of black and
white canvases, crisp, clean and
precise. Mrs. Beck will show design tapestries rich in color and
texture, exquisitely worked.
Regular contributors to this
yearly art event will show-more
mature works this year. The
newcomers are promising and
-each canvas is a very personal
expression of the artist and his
personality.
Members of the art classes will
be in attendance all afternoon
should any viewer have questions
about any work on display or
about the art program.
Police Explain
School Bu:
Law Changes
Michigan's new school bus law
requiring motorists to stop when
meeting as well as overtaking a
school bus stopped to receive or
discharge passengers will become
effective Saturday, September
13, according to a reminder by
Sergeant Svoke of the Mt.
Pleasant post of the Michigan
State Police.
The old law required stopping
'only from the rear. The new law
now conforms with all states 'but
Utah in requiring stops from
both ways.
The law does not apply in incorporated villages and cities,
but stopping can be required by
local ordinace if there are signs
informing motorists of the
regulation.
"Stops must be made at least
10 feet in front of or from the
rear of a stopped bus and motoi-
ists may not proceed until the
school bus resumes motion, -or
the school bus driver signais
other drivers to proceed, or visual
lights on the bug are no longei
actuated," said Sergeant Svoke.
"There are two exceptions to
the rule. Stops are not required
at intersections controlled by a
stop-and-go si-gnal or a police
officer. But in this case drivers
may not pass a bus at a speed
greater than 10 miles per hour
arjd thert -vvith due^ caution. Cars,
traveling on the opposite side of
a divided highway are' not required to stop when meeting a
school bus."
When a school bus is about
to stop or is stopped to receive
or discharge school children, the
bus driver is required to give
notice by operating flashing rea
lights at the front and rear ol
the bus. Svoke warned, however,
that motorist are still requirea
tp ' stop eVen though • the ted
lights may not be operating,
you can visit a display of corn-
tract many oh-and-awers.
Along With an impressive collection of washers^ dryers, freezers, and ironers, the ladies will
get a "first-anywhere" look at
new and colorful 1959 sewing
machines, boasting The most revolutionary features ever developed. For those who appreciate the
beauty of marble, there's a display of marble building stones
from Georgia and Vermont- plus
lovely marble-topped coffee
tables.
For the erudite fair-goer, a display of childhood educational
books, in regal bindings, together with an inspirational newspaper exhibit, will attract much
attention. An outstanding display of beautiful new sweaters,
car coats, sport jackets, skirts
and underwear, will feature
thrilling new uses for wool.
The Saginaw Fair, the largest
County Fair east of the Rockies,
opens its 7 day run, September 7.

The Garfield township public
hearing Tuesday to determine
whether the State Tax Commis
sion would back the Township
Board's appeal for an additional
mill levy for administrative use
will have a statement September
17 on the outcome.
The question being debated this
week at the courthouse was reported whether the County Allocation Board had "taken away"
one mill of tax which the township was accustomed to using,
and given it this year to the Garfield Township Unit School.
Garfield Supervisor Clinton
(Jake) Case contended that the
Allocation Board, for the first
time in the past three years, fail
ed to return enough tax money
to the Township Board, of which
he is a member.
Disputing this assertion, the
School* Board members at the
meeting contended that the money is needed by the school.
Stanley Oman, a member of
the School Board, and Supervisor
Case ran a dead heat in the election for the Supervisor job formerly held by Oman. In action
following the tied election, Case
won the post through court action to determine the election result.

Admission
Told In Court
Examination of Gene Donald
Heath, accused of the Slaying ol
a Clare county woman last
August 5th has been recessed ior
an indefinite time after sessions
on August 28 and 29 held in
Justice John DeForest's court at
Farwell. * , '
Testimony of half-a-dozen or so
witnesses began to bring back the
picture of events of the early
■hours that day and laid the basis
for the case charging first -degree
murder against young Heath,
On. the stand Irt their turns, Mr.
and MrS. Ted Cooper, brothex
and sister-in-law of the slain
woman told of being awakened
after the fire was discovered in
the victim's home near their own.
Dr. Eulion Kaasa, Midland,
Michigan pathologist gave tne
court his opinion in expert terms,
that the cause of death was repeated punctures with a sharp
weapon. (Heath had earlier admitted that he struck his victim
using an .ice pick).
"State Police troopers and the
sheriffs of two counties, James
Darling oi Harrison, and Ira
Smith, of Midland told the coun
their stories of apprehending and
questioning the suspect. Words
of the slain woman, Mrs. Thompson, wiho died accusing Heath oi
the attack, and of young Heatin
who admitted the act, were introduced in the testimony.
The old Town Hall at Farwell
•where the examination is being
held was filled to overflowing
on both days. Curious onlookers
occupied every seat.
Heath, who just turned lb
years of age since the day of the
crime, was a sullen, poker-faced
prisoner listening to tiie witnesses words. Only as the ipatho*
logist described the condition oi
tlie dead woman, did Heath
change as blood flushed his face
and his menacled hands clasped
and unclasped as the story was
unfolded.

Fox Foils
Guessers
this fall's election-,
Two Harrison ladies, pleasure
riding along the Arnold Lake
Road last Sunday afternoon
found a "treed" fox, — and a
mystery.
From . a distance down the
road north of Harrison, the ladies
spied some object hanging from
the electric light wires, and
swaying back and forth in the
breeze. On closer view, the object
proved to be a red fox and he
was hanging by his hind legs
from the wites.
Too high up from the ground,
the fox couldn't have leaped up
and tangied himself . . .
About a rod down the taut
wires from the closest pole, the
fox couldn't have been placed
there by someone' who captured
him and climbed the pole to
hang*-'him there!
Baffled by the puzzle, the ladies returned to tell acquaintances what they saw, and now they
have their circle of friends Wondering too;
How did Reynard hang him-

given for how much the chapter
has accomplished.
Mrs. Margaret Campbell -announced that the newly formed
Exemplars had. received their
charter, and were making plans

Clare football coach George
Perry had a wary eye peeled for
promising halfback prospects
Tuesday as 58 boys turned out
for practice to begin the job of
building a new Pioneer football
machine.
Of first ranking importance is
finding replacements' for two
fleet halves, Tom Garver and
Dick Roe, taken by graduation
from the 1957 team that punched
out a 6-won, 1-lost record.
Ten of the puffing, padded candidates for team positions this
week are returning lettermen
from last year's grid wars.
The line has a serious hole at
the pivot spot since last year's
stalwart center, Larry Gillis has
graduated, and his understudy, a
youngster with the magic name
of Rex Robinette has transferred
to Midland schools.

By Ann Ess Morrow
In some ways boys and girls
gain courage in the summer
time. When they find that they
must take to glasses for better
vision, they often are reluctant
to appear before a room of
children all too obviously alert
ti> change. They dread the friendly teasing and the uninhibited
remarks that usually gs?feet growing folks on -suclv occasions, for
children can be candy-sweet or
rock-hatd in their words and
deeds, lit seems.
To prove it, in my mind, I suddenly see youngsters rushing to
aid an injured dog and sobbing
at its plight or else they help an
overburdened woman who carries home more packages than
money. Sometimes, too, they
horizontally shake their chances
for enrichment off when offered
pennies for their trouble. They
help because they're fond of
helping folks if they may do it
voluntarily. Then I see them also
trooping after someone with an
ailment that's pronounced, mimicking his limp or giggling at the
defect that is permanently there.
If the youngsters with corrected vision start to wear glasses
when they're still at home and
find the comfort that they bring
and come to think of thehi as
part of their own being, there'll
be no problem about walking into
school noticeably spectacled"
when September comes again.
But boys and girls can usually
meet their needs, it seems. I see
it every day. Take young George
—but not too far. He's ours and
we are proud of him.,I think of
him and smile. He marched in a
parade that formed at school and
wished to wave a flag. We gave
him half a dollar, for he thought
that he could buy a flag at
school. And when the Cub Scouts
marched on by, we smiled at the
third grade pack and at one special little boy who waved a wisp
of Glory.
Afterward we met him. He held
it proudly — a flag that was the
size they sell for three whole
nickles.
"You got it all right from your
teacher?"
"No, they didn't have any for
Sale at school."
"But where did this one come
from, George?"
"I bought it from a boy, but I
don't know his name. He didn't
have any change except a penny,
Mom> and so I gave him 50
cents. The stick" is broken, but I
hold my hand high up, like this."
And just like that, with pride
that equaled his, we • held our
head. We also held our tongue,
for who could chide the little fel«
low for a bargain lost? Because
it wasn't realty. He had his .flag.
to fill the Lou Bolle and J. J,
Seiter spots, a Tackle to play
opposite veteran Lanny Haring.
The Green and White team will
appear only three times this season before home town crowds as
their 7-game schedule lists four
"away" contests. The first game
is September 26 at Saginaw
against Michigan Lutheran. Seminary,
Mrs. Lloyd

Stag Day
At Twin Elms
Twin Elms Country Club and
Clare Chamber of Commerce are
to be hosts on September 11 at a
Central Michigan Stag Day for
golfers and those who enjoy
games and a good dinner.
The all-day affair will be climaxed at dinner when "Chef"
Art Damoth will serve charcoal
broiled steaks and the best of
what goes with them.
Not until reservations are due
on September 8, will the sponsors know how many plan to attend the event, but with the fine
dinner, golf, cards and prizes offered, predictions are for a crowd
of half a hundred or more.
Two More
Falls Reported
, It was only a few hours aijter
the installation at Clare General
Hospital of a device for the
special care of premature babies,
doctors and nurses, had been
telling each other, "If this new
equipment saves the life of just
■one little newborn, then it will be
many tunes worth the cost."
The first test of the machine,
a' "rocking" incubator was closet
than anyone knew!
A baby born that morning to
Dr. and Mrs. George Dalfoy, oi
Houghton Lake was? taken by
Cesarean Section and was having
difficulty in breathing. Placect
hurridly in the -,rocker", the difficulty was eased and the baby
was saved.
Only one of several items of
new equipment recently added tc
facilities at Clare General Hospital, the piece is correctly calleo.
an Isolette Rocker and serves as
an incubator and an aid to res*
piraftion difficulties in premies
and other newborns.
Completely enclosed in tht
glass incubator coyer, a baby in
the Isolette Rocker breathe*
(conditioned air which cam be
mixed with oxygen if necessary.
Temperature, humidity, and a
gentle rocking motion are controlled from outside the enclosure. Selfr sealing holes in the
sides of the cover can admit tht
nurses hands for feeding the baby
and rchanging diapers. A special
devce even allows the weighing
of the baby without touching
him.
The rocking motion helps restore' circulation and normai
breathing of the baby much as
a similar larger machine helps
victims of polio.
Babys born this year at Clare
General are wearing a new style
identification marker, too. Plastic
ribbon wristlets pn the arm oi
■babys and their mothers contain
paper tapes with names ano
vital information which, prevent
identity, mj^taikes.
WorS-savingf improvements and
new efficient record-keeping art
in step with great increase in
services rendered by Clare General Hospital. These rising demands on hospital facilities are
shown by annual reports given
to Chief of Staff, Dr. J. R. Gershon this week.
According to the Medical Records* Department, the hospital
in 1957* admitted 2596 ih-patients
ahd 904 .out-patients. Surgery
cases numbered 1011 with 228 oi
them classified as major cases
under the practice of Dr. R. J.
Krainik, Chief of Surgery.
Emergency ; service was performed for 1148 patients by
Doctors E. J., and J. R. Gershon,
of Clare Clinic, referring physicians and members of the hospital
staff. '
Doctors Fitz, and Zimmerman
heading the Obstetrics Department reported that the institution recorded 346 live' births hi
that year. And Radiologist, In*.
R. B. Kring performed x-ray
service for 1872 patients.
The records show that the
average length of stay in i"he
hospital for patients was five
days.
Another important' recent addition to the hospital's equipment
is a mobile x-ray unit of significant new -usefulness. Delivered
last month, the unit is easUry
wheeled from the Department to
any part of the hospital. It is
rated at 200 millamperes, said
to be as large as many present
stationary units and it relieves
the former necessity of moving
critical patients to the x-ray
room.
Electric service in the X-ray
Department could allow the use
of the new machiijie as tm
auxiliary unit if the hospital's
larger machine was disabled, and
a. system of electrical connections .throughout the building,
corridors make it possible-to plug
in the mobile unit -and use it any
place, where a patient needs it.
A newly installed orthopedic
surgery table is also proving its ,
worth in emergency cases where
traction; or. the placing of a
patient in tilted positions is
desirable for the best advantage.*
Social Aid
Appeals For
Accounts of two more persons
who have had accidents which are
claimed the result of tripping On
uneven footing on Clare streets
.may have city officials ponder-"
ing whether quick repairs to
walks are not better' than accident risks.
Mrs. Ella M, JohnSOn of Pontiac, Michigan told police she
tripped August 23 on W. Fourth,
street when her ankle twisted on
uneven Sidewalk there. She" was
taken to Clare General hospital
for examination and later released.
And MrS. Grace Thompson, of
Holly, Michigan said that she
fell When she stepped into a hole
in the paving near the entrance
to Point Clare restaurant on
August 27. She was getting into
her ear when the accident occurred. ■ ,

the city in either case, have beeh

The Clare County Welfare Department is making an appeal
for the donation of used clothing ,
and shoes for children and will
be thankful for any clean, usable
items which can be collected for
passing along to those in need.
With the beginning of school
and approach of colder weather,
the Department is" meeting increased demands for wearables.
Ben Kleinhardt, acting agent
for the collection and distribution
of clothes and many other items
of personal and household use,
reports that the present supply
of children's clothing is entirely
gone. Residents with articles to
give can telephone him, or call
the Welfare Department at KE
9-4171, Harrison and the gifts
will be picked up.
In many cases, Mr. Kleinhardt
says, children are underdressed,
or have worn or outgrown footwear. Sometimes children are
brought to the storage center
with outgrown clothing which
they trade-in for larger sizes and
leave the exchanges to> be given,
to smaller patrons of the Depart-
-ment-Y
Outfitting as many as 18 and
more children on some days, the
fcounty authorities are keeping
many Underprivileged children
warm and dressed sufficiently
for school and play. The program
depends wholly on the generosity of residents of the county.

attained much publicity for the
study and actual performance of
Indian ritual dances in full elaborate postume and are bringong>
their show back home again after
answering invitations to "perform at Midland, Ann Arbor, Far*
well and other centers in Michigan. "
The group of both "braves"
and "maidens" has been applaud-
ed for their fine and elabdrately
staged show.
Supervised by adults in the'
Coleman community recreation
activities, and taught dances by
an actual Chippewa princess, the

The impressive opening of
their program is the dance to the
fire god to light their ceremonial
fire.

Pleasant post of the Michigan State Police. The old law required stopping 'only from the rear. The new law now conforms with all states 'but Utah in requiring stops from both ways. The law does not apply in incorporated villages and cities, but stopping can be required by local ordinace if there are signs informing motorists of the regulation. "Stops must be made at least 10 feet in front of or from the rear of a stopped bus and motoi- ists may not proceed until the school bus resumes motion, -or the school bus driver signais other drivers to proceed, or visual lights on the bug are no longei actuated" said Sergeant Svoke. "There are two exceptions to the rule. Stops are not required at intersections controlled by a stop-and-go si-gnal or a police officer. But in this case drivers may not pass a bus at a speed greater than 10 miles per hour arjd thert -vvith due^ caution. Cars, traveling on the opposite side of a divided highway are' not required to stop when meeting a school bus." When a school bus is about to stop or is stopped to receive or discharge school children, the bus driver is required to give notice by operating flashing rea lights at the front and rear ol the bus. Svoke warned, however, that motorist are still requirea tp ' stop eVen though • the ted lights may not be operating, you can visit a display of corn- tract many oh-and-awers.
