run for the office as a nominated candidate.
Allen Howard, nominated by
the Citizens party to oppose
Marshall had withdrawn and was
not named on the ballot. He still
received four votes plus three
straight-ticket tallies for a total
of seven. Three more votes were
scattered.
Re-elected in Farwell government also were Don E. Smith for
clerk with 80 votes, Roy Putnam
for treasurer with 52, Winfield
Godwin and Buryl Strong for
trustee two years with 54 and
66 respectively, Bernard Glass
for assessor with 73. Their vote

slate plus their individually
marked choices.

Ireland — Senator Sean Brady,
of Tuamgraney, Ireland, will be
invited (to visit| Clare county,
Michigan, from May 20 to 26 as
a guest of local Chambers of
Commerce and civic groups.
The project is aimed at the
heart of Michigan Week's purpose, — "to afford the nation
and the world an inspiring view
of Michigan's advantages".
Four Candidates
Four candidates are officially in the campaign for
election to the Clare City Commission with the filing of
petitions for Albert Haley and David Donovan, both incumbents, and Tim Cotter and Mack Thomson. Deadline
for the filing of nominating petitions was Tuesday of this
week at the office of David Adams, city clerk.
The terms of Haley and Donovan expire this year as
does that of present Mayor Gerald Nivison. Nivison was
not a candidate for re-election.
In the city election to be held on April 2 this year,
thre.; vacancies or. the commission are to be filled by
those polling the greatest number of the total votes cast.
Con C
on Debating
le
te Ad. Boards
During the last week there has
been a great deal of debate,
particularly on the Article which
sets up the procedure of reviewing decisions of administrative
boards. Michigan has a large
number of administrative boards.
Frequently their decisions have
the force of law. Many individuals and companies are of the
opinion that there should be an
appeal to a Court. The debate
of pros and cons is quite extensive. Because of issues of this
kind it is taking longer than it
was anticipated to pass the proposals at first reading in the
committee of the whole.. There
are still approximately fifty proposals to be debated in the committee of the whole. Because of
the fact that debate can not be
limited in the committee of the
whole and because many of the
issues are controversial, it has
been necessary to extend the
adjournment date of the Convention. It is now set for the
middle of April but it could be
that adjournment will not take
place before the first of May.
We are now debating the Article on the Judiciary. This also
takes time for there are many
divergent views on the manner
of securing justices and judges.
There are many who advocate
the retention of the present
system of electing judges of the
Supreme Court. There' are others
who would elect them on nonpartisan tickets by district. The
state would be set up in seven
districts; the purpose being the
voters would be given a better
chance of knowing the person
running for office. It would also
reduce the expense for the candidates. The third possibility held
by some is the position of the
American Bar Association. This
proposal would set up a commission appointed by the Michigan
Bar Association and the Governor. The commission would recommend to the Governor and he
would appoint from the list of
nominees. There are also 'variations of these three plans.
When the debate on the Judiciary is finished, the Executive
Branch of Government will be
debated. This debate will involve
such questions as the election or
appointment of the members of
the Administrative Board, which
includes the Attorney General
the Secretary of State, the Highway Commissioner and the State
Treasurer. Those in favor of
appointment by the Governor
argue that if the Governor is
to be held responsible, he should
have the power to appoint and
remove the members of the Administrative Board. Those who
would elect feel that it is necessary to keep these offices close
to the people which can only be
done by the method of elections.
There is still another group, and
I am one of them, which would
appoint some members of the
Administrative Board and elect
others.
Without doubt, the Convention
will approve the contention that
the Lieutenant Governor be nominated by party convention and
run with the Governor as a team.
The term of office may be increased to four years for the
Governor, Lieutenant Governor
and other elected state officials.

Mr. Holbrook said that the
visit of the distinguished leader
from the place in Ireland from
which Clare county took its
name would be a natural development and aid in placing focus
on this area as the embodiment
of Michigan's advantages in
tourism, location for industry
new world heritage, and hospitality.
Plans for the proposed visit
have gone as far as enlisting
financial aid from oi-ganizations
to bring Senator Sean Brady to
Clare  county.
A return trip by air is estimat*
ed to cost $475.00, and a lisj: of
eleven interested organizations
are being, or will be approached
to help foot the bill.
Already indicating willingness
to help are the Clare Junior
Chamber of Commerce, and senior Chamber organizations in
Clare and Harrison. .
The Doherty Hotel has promised the use of a guest room with
out charge for the foreign visitor
if he should be brought here.
The Irish embassy in Washington Wednesday told Holbrook
that Brady is the chairman of
the County Council in his home
Ireland, (County Clare). If the
inspired plan materializes, Brady
will make appearances at centers
of government in the county as
well as schools, churches, and
of course, the annual City of
Clare Citizens Night Banquet.
The main celebration of
Brady's visit would come on Hospitality Day during the week.
Bringing Own
"Mulligan'
J.
A Boy Scout troop hike and
eat-out have been planned for
Saturday morning for members
of Troop 125 of Clare. Instructions for the outing and even a
recipe for the "Mulligan" have

All members of the troop will
leave their assembly point, the
Clare Rod and Gun Club clubhouse at 8:30 sharp for the two
and one-half mile hike to Eber-
hart's Grove east of Clare.
Each scout should bring a
canteen and a "coffee can casserole", ready to cook over the
fire. The recipe is as follows:
Line a coffee can with cabbage
leaves, next place a few onion
slices in the bottom, next place
a serving of meat suet as hamburger patty or steak, slices of
potato and carrots, top with a
pat of butter and salt and pepper to taste.
Parents should deliver the
boys to the starting point before
8:30. Scout leaders will see that
the boys are provided with transportation home.

Clothing F
Children
The weeks of March 12th
through March 23rd have been
declared Save the Children Federation Bundle Days, and students of Clare Public Schools are
collecting good used clothing for
distribution to needy children
and their parents in the Southern
Mountain regions of the United
States and elsewhere.
"The determination of oui? students to make this Save the
Children Bundle Days project a
success is inspiring", declared
Elementary Principal David Donovan, "and I strongly urge everyone to cooperate with these
young people by contributing as
much used clothing as possible".
Students are making house-to-
house collections for the clothing, or contributors may bring
the clothing directly to the
school in bags or cartons.
According to Dr. Willard W.
Beatty, Executive Vice President
of Save the Children Federation
... a 30-year-old international
organization dedicated to the
service of children everywhere
. . . the stress in this year's collection is upon good wearable
clothing . , . clothing a child or
adult would be proud to wear.
"The Federation strives to
bring to the needy the best possible clothing", Dr. Beatty points
out. "We clean, mend and sew
buttons on the clothing we receive. We never distribute it until this work has been done. The
better the clothing we receive,
the better the clothing the recipients will receive and the less
it will cost us to get the clothing
in   good   condition.
Red Cross
Appeal Is
Continuing
Have you made your contribution to the Red Cross this
month? Remember, it is "When
you Give, Red Cross Can Help",
the motto which is being used
all over the country during the
month of March for the annual
drives.
The Red Cross story is not
one, but many, because Red
Cross touches many lives and
does so in many ways.
Rev. Van Parker, county fund
chairman reported that workers
in the county are making their
house to house canvass this
week, so if you have notvbeen
called on, remember the drive
continues all month, and your
help is earnestly solicited. Mrs.
Erwin Cooley, and Mrs. Floyd
Stanley are co-chairman for Harrison, Charles Cape, Farwell, and
Leon Stanley, Clare and with
their groups of workers every
effort is being made for personal
contacts.
Clare High's basketball team, the "Cinderella" quintet
of the State regional eliminations, tripped in the opening
game Tuesday night at Mt. Pleasant when Howard City
ended the dream, 51-42.
But the Pioneers big effort that brought them the district title and opened the chances for possible regional upsets had already brought excitement and hope to the fans,
and credit to the Jim Raymond coached squad.
The District Championship pennant is the first to hang
in the Pioneer trophy case in 16 years. The CHS sport is in
the second year of a comback under Raymond after a
previous losing record that numbered 52 consecutive games,
Tuesday's tilt, rated something of a toss-up before the
opening whistle, turned into one of those third-quarter
nightmares that have plagued the Pioneers through the regular season.
Battling Howard City almost even through the first
half, Clare failed to hold the pace after intermission and
watched the Bulldogs' margin grow to 14 points at the start
of the final period. Qutscoring Howard City in the waning
minutes of the game was not enough, and the Cinderella
magic coach turned back into a pumpkin with the final
whistle.
Outstanding individual player in the encounter was
Howard City's Koehn who scored 30 points to account for
over half of his teams total, — and played a court-wise defensive masterpiece, rebounded' strongly to control both
boards, held a fast smooth pace to lead his squad through
their-third-quarter scoring runaway.
With Clare's Jim Perrine and
Dan Green spiked flat in scoring
offensive, the efforts of Skip
Kegg and Ralph Bucholz were
short in points needed. Opportunities missed were divided between unbelievable bad luck on
Clare layups and tip-ins, and bad
aim at the free-throw line.
The same Green and White
squad had netted as high as 75
points in a regular season game,
but Tuesday was another story,
— and a mighty cool evening, inside the hoop.
Raymond's players with a regular season record against Class
C and B schools of 8-won and 12-
lost were certainly not considered a strong tournament threat.
In the District games also at Mt.
Pleasant, they had enough when
it counted to get by Farwell 51-
48, then trounce Mt. Pleasant
Sacred Heart 60-49. In the District finals Clare took a two-
point decision from Harrjsbn,
39-37.
The three-game streak was
better than any winning stretch
in the regular cage season.
On the card for tonights Regional semi-finals at Mt. Pleasant, Howard City (12-7) meets
Edmore (14-5) at 7:00 p.m. to
be followed by Shepherd (19-1)
vs. Muskegon-Christian (14-6) at
8:45. Finalists for the Regional
title and the right to play in all-
State competition will meet at
2:30 Saturday afternoon.
Deadline Near
For Fluoride
Treatments
Final requests and fees are
now being accepted for the Sum
mer Topical Fluoride program to
be held in the Clare School area.
This program is being sponsored
by the Clare P.T.A. in' cooperation with the local health department and the Michigan Depart
ment of Health.
The topical application of
sodium fluoride to newly erupt
ed teeth will reduce new tooth
decay by 40% in groups of children. In addition to these benefits

discomfort involved, and dental
health education is given the
child by the clinic personnel.
The entire procedure consists
of four visits to the topical fluor
ide clinic which will be held in
the Clare Public School. At the
first visit the teeth are cleansed
and the first application is given,
An application of sodium fluor
ide consists of the teeth being
isolated with cotton rolls; then
dried with compressed air, and a
2% solution of sodium fluoride
is applied to the teeth with cotton tip applicators. On the
second, third, and fourth appointments the application of sodium
fluoride   is  repeated.
Any child who is a pre-schooler, kindergartener, second, fifth
and eighth grader is eligible to
enroll in the program. Special
cases referred by the family
dentist will also be accepted. The
fee for the cleansing and four
applications is $3.00.
If you have not received the
necessary forms to enroll your
child in this program you may
contact Mrs. Donald Dunlop, lo
cal chairman, at EV 6-2107. The
fee and consent cards must be
returned by March 20 in order
for your application to be accepted.
