If interest and participation in the Clare Chamber of Commerce. follows
a cycle pattern, then the
directors are planning on
the next year to follow a
rising curve.
Three aims under discussion by directors, and
due for detailed introduction at a general meeting soon are, 1- A new
program of activities to
offer more benefits to
members. 2 - Increased
participation by members
for their own good and for
the indirect benefit of the
whole town. 3- A budget
adequate to provide cash
and tools to do a better
job.
Presentation of ideas for
the rejuvination of the
Chamber of Commerce will
put heavy stress on the
self-help theme.
To build better business
and prosperity, organization members and boosters
will preach that initiative
and work must be volunteered from within the
group, _and more can be
accomplished by teamwork and cooperation than
by efforts from individuals
by themselves.
A preview of discussion
topics that will be offered
at the general meetings
came out of a meeting Monday morning when C. of
C. President Dick Groves
and Directors Howard
Everts and Ben Burdo held
informal meeting.
Directors have made an
agreement with Ken Barnes, former owner of Town
and Country Lounge here,
to become manager of the

A Place
To Play

the vacant lots and have a
field of its own, —if the
• youngsters will help
smooth and rake the new
field.
!• Ray Owens, supervising
the project has set Saturday at 2:30 in the afternoon as the time and the
place is some school-

The new library organization was brought about
by Act No. 59 of the Public Acts of 1964. This act
assigns all penal fines to
a newly appointed county
library board. The fines
in previous years were assigned to school libraries.
The library board has
followed school district
boundaries as much as
possibly in assigning the
townships to established
public libraries.
Townships may become
a part of any of the established libraries by action of the township board
and contributing a millage
equal to that contributed
by the municipality in
which the library is located.

Put ZIP
In Mail
Service
Longer post office window hours, expanded delivery services and large-
scale extension of the ZIP
coded parcel post speedup are planned for Christmas, Postmaster General
John A. Gronouski has advised the local postmaster,
Larry Jackson.
Mr. Gronouski outlined
to the Clare postal head,
three major new steps he
has taken "for the best
Christmas mail service the
Postal Service has ever
-had:"
1. Expanded post office
window hours Dec. 5 to 26
as deemed necessary by
the local postmaster.
2. A six-day week Dec.
7-31 for parcel post deliveries, instead of a five-
day week.
3. Completion by Nov.
1 of Phase III of ZIP Code
parcel handling at about
130 more "sectional center" post offices (strategically-located mail massing points,) providing
faster delivery up to 24
hours or more for parcels
with ZIP Code.
The Postmaster General
said the Christmas plans
are part of a nationwide
program to bring postmasters into more responsible positions in postal management as "real
partners in providing better mail service at all
levels."
