?r*way
Freeway drivers in
some areas around Clare
are traveling over land that
the State Highway Department has never paid for,
it was revealed recently
by property owners whose
acreage was condemned
and taken for the strips
as long ago as two years,
and to this date" have never
. received a .penny ior their
land.
The John Gallaghers, a
little  over  3 ^niles north
of Clare have $3,675. coming according to the termsi-
of a settlement laid dowrer-
by Circuit Court Commis-f
sioners.     Their attorney,"
Ellis Bowler of Durand toldfe
them three months ago thatjjE:
their   case   was   "over'"
and  the Highway Department    should   settle with
them   any   day.   The suit
went into Circuit Court in
November, 1961.
Gallagher thinks that
there may be six or more
land owners in his immediate area with settlements
still pending. The freeway
route took a strip across
the back of his 160 - acre
farm in section 15 of Grant
township. More that 18}
acres were involved. '
Asking $4,000. for the j
property, Gallagher was a-:
warded the lesser amount'
by ruling of the Gommis
sioners, but there is reason t
to expect that interest onj
the overdue money may now
make the final settlement
worth more when the owners obtain it.

Drawings got underway}
this 'week at the Conser-;
vation Department's Lansing office to determine
who will receive some 69,
380 permits to hunt antlerless deer in 29 oversubscribed areas this fall.
Nearly 195,000 permits
applications covering these
areas have poured into the
Department in recent
weeks.
And Michigan's Conservation Commission in a
meeting at Escanaba last
week reaffirmed its decision of two monts ago to
hold antlerless deer huntr
ing on the same dates as
those of the regular'firearm season in 32 northern
food-shortage areas next
month.
A law suit brought by
State Senator Charles' O.
McManiman of Houghton
seeks to block by an in-;
junction, any-deer seasons
in   Michigan   this  year.In
a countermove this week,
the Commission petitioned
the court to dismiss the
appeal   for  an  injunction.
Over-all, about 213,000
persons have applied for
permits in 32 northern
food-shortage areas where
anterless deer hunting is
scheduled.
Of these, approximately
13,000 hunters who submitted   correctly    completed

An early beginning and
improved        organization
have already marked the
1962  campaign to make a
cheery Christmas for area
youngsters   as one  to  be
better than ever before.
Unit packages of gift toys
clothing and other welcome \l 9 62
articles will be distributed
wherever a holiday season
without cheer and enoughphat
presents  might disappoint
youngsters.
The annual joint cam
paign to collect or buy
material, and to find places
to distribute it has many
sponsors and co-workers
and   organizations   behind
Clare High's Pioneers
are a football team that
need only as much weight
as they have fighting heart
to make them "cock of
the walk" in the Mid-Michigan B League, and they
proved it Friday in their
contest with Corunna where
they came from behind to
win 26-6.    -   •     ■<
True, Clare was favored
over oft-beated Corunna
and confidence gave them
an added edge, but scoring
versatility and the well rehearsed offense that struck
on the ground and through
the air marked the Perry-
coached team as one with
that rare "desire" to win
that makes the good team.
Perry has tabbed the
Pioneers as," a good
ttle team—and just that"
underline his opinion
his team has everything it needs to be great-
=^except weight advantage.

Spotting Corunna a 6-0
lead in the first quarter,
Clare called on Merve Davis to more than even the
count in the second period.
Davis plunged across for
successive touchdowns
from the 19 yard line and
from the six with halfback
Skip Breen running to convex l Lilts 'point after the
second TD. Halftime score
was  Clare  13,Corunna  6,
Adding another six-
pointer in the third quarter, Clare's Jerry Russell
ran 18 yards to contribute
his bit. In the final stanza,
Skip Kegg found Jim Ruby
with a pass that covered 33
yards and crossed the Corunna goal line with the
final counter. ,
Elsewhere in league
play Friday, Ithaca was
dumped in a stunning upset
by Durand which rose up
in an inspired performance
to take the 26-20 thriller.
The Railroaders'Davenport turned in a great
individual effort with scoring runs of 29,16,and 20
yards in the second and
third periods, and a game-

minutes left in the game
to outshine Ithaca's Grues-

would like to make sbme
just like it and enhance
Clare's fame and her own

She is Mrs. Frank L.Potter who was vacationing
in the north and purchased
a specialty of Clarified

The Chicagoan wrote to
Ken Cox to say,"We--tiked
your delicious bread and
wondered if we could have
the receipe so we can make
it here at home. One of
my hobbies is collecting

She'll get the receipe in

Farwell
Church Has
'New' Look
Grace Bible Church in
Farwell has received a face
lifting this past summer,
the most noticable being
on the outside.
,. The basement was first
with the. men of the church
working Saturday, and often
during week days, jacking
up the building, laying
blocks, and letting the
church down again on its
new foundation. By the end
of the summer, the floor
had been laid and enough
had been completed for the
church folks to use half
the basement for Sunday
school classrooms, and
other activities.
There is much work remaining to be done yet to
the basement,painting the
walls, a ceiling, and eventually a tile floor.but no
.one is complaining. They
are just thankful to have
half a basement for use
•this winter.The steps,going downstairs were built
by Mr. H.B.Ice of Otter
Lake.
Church improvements
insirt.- w;;i V "on display"
starting next Tuesday night
7:30 p.m. when evangelistic
services will be held nightly through Sunday morning,
October 2b. Anyone wishing to see the basement is
welcome to look around
before or after any of these
services.
It's a toss-up whether
the most noticable improvement on the outside
is the new porch and railing, or the paint job. The
paint for the building was
donated by Mr. James Babcock, with another donation
promised in the spring for
a second coat, The painting was done by Mr. George
Davison of Farwell, who
offered his services. He
sprayed it on and church
was completely painted in
one clay, except, for -he
steeple. The m:-u have.i't
