He said it will be
valuable for job training,
-for preparing young people for degree colleges and
universities, -for completing the education on a practical level for those with
out high school diplomas,
-for adult courses and retraining for job upgrading.
These and other reasons
for public favor of the project were held out for consideration in the statement.
It was predicted that when
the college is established,
it will grow as the future
develops greater need for
education in culture and
vocational training.
Here's Help
With Canning
All of us associate certain foods with summer
such as; watermelon, sweet
corn, tomatoes and peaches,
Today's transportation methods have made the
summer season longer but
there is still that time
when these foods are home
grown and most plentiful.
For this area now*s the
time!
This is also the time
when many homemakers
are canning and or freezing many of these plenti
ful   foods   for   later use.
Your Cooperative Extension office has several excellent bulletins on canning
and freezing fruits and vegetables as well as bulletins
giving instructions for
jams, jellies and pickles.
You may have any of these
by requesting them by

Club Members
View Prize Beef
On The 'Hook'
By   George   MacQueen
Clare Co. Extension Director
Several 4-H and FFA beef
club members received a
liberal education last
Thursday during a visit at
the Clare Packing Company
in Clare.
The group was interested
primarily in viewing their
steer carcasses that were
sold at the auction during
the county fair.
While they went into the
cold storage room where
the carcasses were hanging
and went down the line
looking at the rib eye and
marbeling of the meat, lots
of   comment   was  raised.
Several ladies who were
present at this meeting
commented that this is very
worth while information and
can help the homemaker
visualize the beef carcass
as she shops at the butcher's counter. Of course
there were a few moments
of reminising and regret
in seeing the projects steer
suspended and all ready to
go to the consumer.
Nick Jabour manager of
the Clare Packing Company
had each carcass that the
Packing Company had
slaughtered identified with
the member's name and
place position in the steer
show.
Conformation is a very
important feature of the
carcass as it hangs from
the hoof. Another catagory
is maturity as well as marbeling.
The summary of the picture presented by these
three features results in
the final grade.
The government grader
pointed out many things
that can be shown by a
carcass. The condition of
the bone and cartilage between the vertibrae and the
back, tells a great deal
concerning the age of the
animal. The amount of
marbeling or distribution
of fat tissues in the red
meat tissues gives indication as to the feeding program. Marbeling also affects the tenderness of the
meat.

Douglas remembered the
cold mornings of his childhood when he dressed beside  the big base burner:
"Ours, as 1 recall, was
a wood burner. It stood in
the dining room.
"We'd part with our coverings up stairs, and reluctantly grab our clothes
and dash down the stairs to
huddle close to the fire.
"Odors floating in from
the kitchen rivaled the cold
in speeding up the dressing process.
"I remember the pancakes for breakfast. Buckwheat usually, 'set' the
night before with the crock
well wrapped.
"They were not the toy
dainties of today but dinner plate size, duly drenched with home-made butter (cut fresh from the old
gray crock) floated in
syrup, then folded, turn
over style.
"No one had heard of
calories in that day so the
arithmetical statistics of
eating which ruins the table
conversation of nowdays
did not enter into the feast.
And feast those breakfasts
were with steak, or ham and
eggs, and fried potatoes to
follow.
How did our tummies
hold it all! Well, we were
young and they did!"

Crash Kills
Lansing Man
On Expressway
A spectacular accident
Thursday took the life of a
Lansing man as he drove
his car off the expressway
five miles north of Clare
and crashed it into a concrete overpass being built
over Dover Rd.
Dead instantly at the
scene was Charles W. Schroeder, 48, of Lansing. He
was alone in the car and
traveling on a sales trip
for a West Virginia coal
company.
About 25 construction
workers on the job of building the overpass witnessed
the fatal crash as Schroeder sped past warning devices and a flagman stationed
on the approach to the spot.
The auto veered to the
right as it neared the over
pass, and struck a huge
concrete supporting pillar.
The high speed impact
demolished the car and
crushed the driver behind
the wheel. Over an hour
was required for Sheriff
James Darling, Carl Stephenson, coroner and several construction workmen
to free the dead man
Deputy Sheriff Mel Davis
assisted with the investigation. Officers and flagmen
experienced difficulty in
keeping traffic moving and
feared more mishaps with
rear-end collisions a
