Clare High gave Ches-
aning an inch in Friday's
homecoming football game
here- and•.<*■» pesky Indians
almost took a mile. The
game score came out a
squeaky 14-12 in favor
of the Pioneers after some
anxious second-half moments.
Looking like a great,
courageous little team in
earlier season losing to
mighty Ithaca, and in a
bitterly protested tie with
Durand.the Pioneers showed ■ a puzzling reversal of
form with a victory to
show for a performance
not quite up to the standard of earlier play.
But the Green and
White played- a good offense in the first half, and
stood off Chesaning's bid
in the last part of the
game to emerge a winner.
To summarize the game
that excited and thrilled
a capacity homecoming
crowd, it was the difference between Skip Breen
on rushes into the line
and the surprise throwing arm of Butch Eberhart
against the one-man show
of Chesaning's Dave Pet-
rosky running, throwing,
calling the plays, and
generally filling the whole
stage as"the Indian's one-
man team.
Clare stunned Chesan-
ing with an early score
when Merve Davis plunged
through his right guard
on a play that originated
on the ciare 20, and stepped into the clear for a
dash 80 yards across the
line. "TheV.game was only
four Minutes old. with
the Pioneers in front 7-0
after the conversion.
After Chesaning was
held for downs and Clare
was   deep in enemy ter-
Clare County Supervisors reached final adjournment of their October
session on Tuesday after
seven days qf approving
budgets and salaries,
equalizing the tax rolls of
the townships, and receiving reports of their
own committees.
They appointed a new
County Road Commissioner
in Glen Lloyd who replaces
Avery Barber, former
chairman, and they instructed the Planning Commission to submit an ordinance for countywide
building restrictions by
January when they will debate it and take action on
this controversial subject.
County Supervisor
Chairman Walter Ehle said
that the equalization report
as    finally approved in the
meeting shows a--raise of
some $3 million of State
Equalized. The 1962 a-
mount w'ill be over 46 million dollars.
Lloyd was appointed to
the     Clare  County    Road
ritory again, a second TD
was denied by a lost fumble
on the 11.
Merve Davis set up another touchdown that proved to be Clare's last one
When he blocked an Indian
punt which a Ciare piayer
recovered on the 23 yard
line. Jerry Russell ran the
distance Into the Indian end
zone from the four—yard
line two plays later and
again the point conversion
was successful.
At halftime the score
was Clare 14, Chesaning,0.
In the second half, a
desperate Petrosky threw
passes long, threw often,
threw to the left and right
and won two touchdowns for
his efforts. But both point
conversions failed and that
was the difference in .the
final outcome.
Tense excitement with
the aerial threat, frequent
pass interceptions by both
sides, a slashing kickoff
return to the Clare 49-yard
line by Dick Sharp provided the cheering mon-
ents in the final half.
Eberhart, a standout guard in a good Clare
line made an appearance
as quarterback and a fine
passer. He was converted
because of an early season
ankie injury that crippled
his effectiveness in line
play. With him in the Clare

With predicted snow
flurries making weather
news in Michigan this week
we needed a news oddity
item like flowers starting*
to bloom to cheer up the
dread of coming winter.
Mrs. Lulu Shaw, 1010
Court Street called to let
us know that her Forsy-
thia, by nature an early
spring glory of yellow, began blooming on October
11. Getting lots of sun
at the southeast corner of
her house, the bush apparently mistook the warm
spell for a blush of spring......
 and  here  it isn't time
yet for Indian Summer!
Quoted from the Cud-
ahy, Wisconsin Reminder

truly remarkable invention. The same program that puts you and
your wife to sleep keeps
the neighbors awake."
The SENTINEL, in
apologies for the grossly
imperfect appearance of

new offset process, has
one more explanation to
make: the partons and subscribers from outside the
close area who did not
receive copies of the past
issue have a iright to complain. Spoiled copies left
a short supply-for mailing a d -txth Sentinel ad-

Open House
Attendance Is
P-TA Record
Five hundred fifty parents, teachers and friends
were in attendance Monday evening at the P.T.A.
meeting for "open house"
at the Clare Public School.
Girl Scouts took care of
the younger children.
The Mascot Dog, for
having the largest percentage of parents present, was won by Mrs.
Eroh's  first  grade room.
The rooms were attractively decorated, to show
evidence of the children's
achievements In different
areas of work. A bulletin board and show cases
in the hall were also arranged in special displays
by different roams for the
event.
Those in charge of the
evening's program, are
greatly pleased at the fine
spirit showed by the parents, and feel that their
efforts are rewarded, for
this record breaking
attendance.
Dr. Archie McKinnon of
the , Mt, Pleasant Child
Guidance Clinic will be featured on the program for
the November meeting. It
will be held in the High
School. Parents are urged
to mark their calendar for
the 19th and plan to attend.

''Agriculture has abolished,, here in America,
one of" mankind's oldest
anxieties, the fear of
hunger and famine; yet it
is more often referred to
in terms of surplus of sub's ity than in terms of
success," declared State
Master William J. Brake
of Lansing last week before
delegates to the 89th annual

State   Grange at Fremont.
"As successful as
American agraculture has

Barber was one of the

ballot. .Other members
of the commission held

Frank Coker of Farwell
was re-appointed chairman

No significant changes
in department budgets of
salaries of county employees were enacted, Ehle
said,
"The county has a good
chance to come through
fiscal 1962 in the "black"

ended the year with a 17
thousand dollar deficit;

The summer topical
fluoride program, a public health service that has
helped prevent decay in the
teeth of nearly 400,000
Michigan children is being
discontinued or curtailed
in a number of Michigan
corr.munities where the
benefit , of fluoridated
drinking water is already
paying off.
Because   of increasing
demand for this service
and because the program
reached its maximum capacity in terms of personnel
and   resources,   the  state
health     department     has
decided to concentrate its
future efforts in areas not
having public  water  supplies and areas not serv
ed   by   fluoridated  water.
The health department,
which has  been assisting
local communities with the
topical   fluoride   program
since 1949, has established a  new policy for program  eligibility  based on
the number of years a com
munity has had fluoridated

Three persons, one a
local man, were hospitalized Tuesday morning as a
result of a two-car crash
on the entrance to the Expressway east of Clare, and
old US-10.
Roy Kinsey, 54 of Clare
drove a C&O Railroad
truck into the side of another car when the other
driver failed to stop at
the expressway entrance
route.
Injured most seriously
was Clarence Polhman, 60
of Toledo, Ohio the driver
of the car that was struck.
He was pinned in the
wrecked auto for • almost
half an hour before he was
freed and taken to Central
Michigan Community Hospital with serious fra-
tures of both legs and a
badly lacerated left elbow.
His wife Florence, 60
was a passenger in his car
and received facial injuries
that loosened several
teeth.
She,too was admitted to
the hospital, but in less
serious condition.
Kinsey had lacerations
of the face and bruises
where the impact threw
his head against his wind-
shield. There were more
simple hurts to his hands.
Polhman, suffering from
shock and bleeding, was
trapped in his car when
the impact crushed.in the
door beside his seat behind

Unable to free him, the
Clute Garage wrecker enlisted aid from a Consumers Power service truck
and the two trucks tied on
to the sides of the car to
pull in opposite directions
and spring him loose.
At the hospital, Polhman
demanded to be moved to
Toledo where he was taken
by   Stevenson   ambulance.
Kinsey, who said that
he was entering the ex
pressway driving east, told
investigating police that the
other car did not stop at
the intersection. Polhman
and his wife were touring
north Michigan on their
vacation.
He is employed in
Toledo -at a 'railroad repair shop and is a mach-
inest.
by resistance to raises in
salaries and raises asked
in county department budgets. Explaining that the
supervisors are striving
to operate within the
limits of expected revenue,
and that the public good depended on "living within
income", the supervisors
were able to convince staff
workers and department
heads that spending increases were not justified at the present.
Ehle feels that a surplus for contingencies may
be accumulated if the present program can be adhered to.
Action on the coming
ordinance to establish a
minimum code for building in the county was taken
on the final day of the session and is the latest move
in the controversy between
the Planning Commission
and Board of Supervisors
together in an avowed program to eliminate substandard housing and opposed by creators of
developments and rural
"sub-divisions" in parts
of the county where they
feel thet their enterprises
are not on too low a level.
Herschel Reiss, creator
and developer of Lake
Thirteen and more recently Surrey Lake near Far-
well was appointed on the
Planning Commission to
replace former Chairman,
Robert Carter who resigned. Two new members of the commission
appointed to fill vacancies
are Al Bizauskas, manager of Wilson State Fark
at Harrison and Lyle Skinner personnel department
head at Holley Carraretor
in Clare. Ron Schunk was
re-appointed on t'.e commission.

Willard Bicknell said
this week that added spa'ce
for 150 diners would be
ready for next summer if
possible.
In the meantime, more
immediate plans call for
revising the main dining
room to increase seating
by 25 moxe people,
New methods and equipment are expected to double
meal service capacity. The
.kitchen is to be remodeled

The Highway report on
sightseeing had this to say:
Nearly   50 .percent   of
the state's travelers come
from   neighboring   Great
Lakes states and most of
them stay in motels.
About 40 percent spend
two to six days on vacation
and 25 percent vacation
for seven days or more.
These facts and others
about Michigan's tourist
industry are contained in
an "electronic report" on
nearly 150,000 people who
stopped for information
during July and August at
the Highway Department's
Tourist Information Cen«-
ters,
, Facts about the travelers were processed by
computer.
Highway Department Officials said one of the surprising results was the
large number of Michigan
residents who stopped at
our Tourist Information
Centers for information.
Almost one-third of the
persons served were
Michigan residents.
Following Sightseeing
as a vacation interest were
camping, swimming, fishing and boating.
The   electronic report
ing service was inaugrated
July 1, in permanent Highway Department Tourist
Information Centers at New
Buffalo, Mackinaw City
and Menominee and at a
Mobile Travel Information
Unit at St. Louis,
Later, it was used at
mobile information units
stationed at Monroe and
Houghton Lake.
The Highway Department's travel .information
program will be expanded
next year with the addition
