One is that the beef cow
herd in Michigan will need
to be trippled in order to
supply enough calves for-
the feedlot operators who
patronize them.
A question immediately
arises as to where and how
Here in Clare county and
s u r r ounding
northern Michigan are
acres upon acres of open
"grazing land, but they are
in   fairly   small   parcels.
"One thing the cow herd
program requires is large
tracts of fairly inexpensive
land. This, coupled with
large numbers of beef cows
and low investment per cow
are requirements.
So if the cow herd is to
be trippled, both those
wishing this and present
landowners need to get together on some sort of long
term lease agreement or
short term cash rental
competitive with present
government payments, if
they are received.
part time farmers are
in a good position to participate in this increase.
Low labor requirement,
increased artificial insemination of cows to produce
t more uniform^ faster gain-
'ing calves, and closeness to
good feeder calf sales are
to their a dvantage*
Increased per capita consumption of beef leads the
Project SO team to draw
these conclusions.

Clare's City Commission
in a regular meeting Monday evening this week that
lasted slightly less than
two hours discussed enough
issues and engaged problems to occupy weeks and
even months of thoughtful
work and action before final
disposition.
Subjects ranged from remodeling the meeting room
for the Commission itself
and building permits for
city residents, all the way
to impending changes in the
city's disposition of trash
and garbage, and the city's
assistance in defense of
municipal employees when
the performance of their
duties involves them in
suits seeking damages.
On the latter- subject,
City Attorney Harold- B.
Hughes advised the Commission that a suit now
filed against the city and
one of its employees, a
police officer would require a defense.
There was agreement on
a motion offered by Commissioner Bill Koch to obligate the city to defend
employees in actions of
•£&is kind aTising-put of the--
performance of their duty
for the city.
Brought to the meeting
for reading and study was
a Michigan law placing new
and strict rules in effect
regarding the maintenance
of public dumps and garbage   disposal   land fills.
A provision' in the law
forbids unsanitary open
dumps and will have effect
on trash and garbage dumping spots maintained by
cities, townships, or private citizens.
City Manager Clarence
Gum told the Commission
that details in the law now
demand that the Clare city
dump be covered daily with
several inches of sand or
dirt.
In the city's sanitary
landfill, it has always been
the practice to burn, or
cover the garbage and trash
while a separate area in
the dump has been used for
large objects, metal appliances and the like.
It was estimated that to
haul and spread dirt and
compact down and level the
entire exposed area, it will
require the services of a
contractor with equipment
heavier than the city owns.
The Commission gave
indication that there may
even have to be a change
in location of the municipal dump since it seems
that it is rapidly coming
to the limits of the space
now available at the east
end of First street.
Present city garbage
service adds six to 10 loads
daily.
Mayor Tim Cotter said
the city would probably hire
a. contractor with a large
bulldozer to cover the dump
up to present edges, and
the   city could then keep
up with daily covering and
leveling.
The Commission will
consider, at request of Bill
Koch, the hiring of an employee to watch and control
private disposal of trash
in the dump and keep it
systematic and neat.
The city's zoning board
Chairman Howard Everts
recommended the re-zpn-
ing of some property adjacent to Brockwood subdivision to permit the
construction t h e r e. of
multiple-unit dwellings of
up to ten units.
Returning to the question
of supplying city services
such as water and sewer
t o locations outside the
corporate limits, the Commission was again asked by
Gum to establish a rate
for such services.
Informed that the information as needed to pass
along to an industrial concern considering Grant
township near the city
limits as a site for a plant,
the Commission promised
an immediate answer.
On another matte r
hrbughT to the- Intention'ofl
Commissiojprs by Mayor
Cotter, it was decided to
ask for more routine compliance with the ordinance
requiring an approved
building permit before
work is started on building, remodeling or removal
of structures.
There is no reason in
most cases, Mayor Cotter
observed, why permits cannot be obtained in the
proper method provided at
the city manager's office,
and a copy posted on the
Site as  the law requires.

Information Ready On Medicare
Under' recent changes in
the social security law, two
separate health insurance
programs, often called
"Medicare", have been
established to help you meet
hospital and medical costs
after you reach age 65.
These new programs will
go into effect in July of
1966.
The first program is
Hospital" Insurance, and
practically everyone age
65 or over is eligible to
receive this basic hospital
Insurance protection.
If you have already filed
an application and established that you are entitled
to social security or railroad retirement benefits,
you will automatically be
covered by the Hospital Insurance Program. You do
NOT have to go to your
Social Security Office to
fill out another application.
Your entitlement to benefits automatically qualifies
you for Hospital Insurance.
However, if you are not
eligible for social security
benefits, either because
you are still working or
because you did not work
long enough under social
security, you should contact your Social Security
Office in Mt. Pleasant
quickly as possible.
as
The second program, a
supplementary Medical Insurance Program, which
helps pay doctor's bills
and other important services not included in the
first plan, is voluntary.
Again, nearly everyone 65
or over may join, but participants pay a premium of
$3.00 each month. This is
matched by the federal government,
The registration for this
program will begin September 1, 1965^ and all social
security and railroad bene,
ficiaries should have received the necessary application and literature by
the middle of December,
1965. Here again, do not
contact the Social Security
Office if you are receiving
benefits. The application
will be an IBM punchcard
and it is important for ease
of handling that these application cards be the ones
that are completed.
The   only   people   who
should   contact   the   Mt.
Pleasant Social Security
Office   directly are those
who are not entitled to
social security benefits and
wish to enroll in this second
voluntary program.
If you have any questions
or you desire more information about Health Insurance Benefits, of course the
Social Security Office in Mt.
Pleasant will be happy to
help you. The address is
316 North Mission. If you
wish to call the Social
Security Office use this
numbers 775-4185. This is
a special number that has
b<eten assigned to help ans*
wer your questions.

from the halfback spot took
scoring honors for Clare
with two long touchdown

Coming in the second
half, both of Sheredy's runs
