Eighty-seventh Year
New Series- Vol. 75. No. 43
in Thief
Takes $75 Cash
!«»-<V
A Thursday nightrobbery
in Clare at the Clark Drug
store was discovered Friday by the owner, Charles
Clark when he opened up in
the morning. His cash
registers had been stripped
of $75.
The money had been left
there to be ready for change
making, and the discovery
started Sidewalk Sale Day
on a sour-note for the store.
Police guessed that the
thief or thieves had allowed themselves to be
locked in the store Thursday night by hiding inside
at closing time. No force-
able entry or exit evidence
was discovered.
State Police Detective
James Mull and Clare Chief
Elry Tice are investigating.
Tice also said that three
coin boxes had been stolen
from pay telephones recently with the complaints
being registered by the
Michigan Bell Telephone
Company.
The boxes with their contents had been entirely removed from the locations
and no estimate was given
of the amount of the losses.
Food Handlers
Enforcement of a parking rule in city auto parking
lots has begun again according to Clare Police
Chief Elry Tice, and two-
hour parking violations will
be ticketed he said.
Public parking in the lot
on W. Fourth street and all
the east side of the lot in
the city park across from
the police station on W.
Fifth is affected.
Signs in these lots remind the public that two
hour packing is allowed and
the facilities are primarily
for the convenience of
Clare shoppers.
A reminder this week by
District Seven Health Department is meant for all
food handlers in public
places, and their employers. Food handlers must
have new, or current permits from the department.
District Seven is responsible for the health
program in Clare, Gladwin
and Arenac counties.
The procedure for. obtaining the permits is some
what different than in the
past and is described in the
release.
Workers who handle food
or come in contact with
food service must be free
from Tuberculosis and
certain infections. The
card they must have will
show that tests are negative for T.B. and certain
other required tests also
show negative.
Private physicians or the
Health Dept. can administer
the tests and more information may be obtained
from the Health office,
phone 539-5111.
Reading Help
Taught Again
This Summer
Clare Public Schools; are
in their second summer
schedule for those students
who are reading and comprehending below the level
of their classes.
This year's enrollment
is 146 children in grades
2 through the 8th, in comparison to 110 students in
the program  a year ago.
Miss Cella Gartrell, C.
M.U. is reading instructor,
working mornings with teachers in their classrooms
and with individual students
who have severe reading
problems, and she also
does individual testing.
In the afternoons, Miss
Gartrell conducts a read-'
ing workshop for the teachers on methods and techniques of teaching reading
to children who are having
reading difficulties.
Mrs. Ruth Schunk, director, states that this intensified and individualized
reading program will help
the children to keep up with
their classmates, and further enable them to continue in schooling and not
drop out. Small class size
combined with ability
grouping is one of the best
ways to aid this program.
Reading machines being
used are; Language Master
Tachist-O-Viewers, Overhead, Filmstrip, and
Opaque Projectors, tape
recorders and reading accelerators.
New materials used this
year are Thomas Nelson
reading series, S.R.A.
Reading and Spelling laboratories, programmed
learning, visual tracking,
Barnell, Loft Ltd Specific
Skill series, and McCall-
Crabb lesson booklets.
Four special events have
been planned for the students.
On Friday June 30, the
Whiteskin Dancers of
Coleman will present a
program in the school auditorium; Robert Hayes,
Magician will entertain on
Friday, July 21; a trip to
Interlochen Music Academy

This pike, a 6-pounder and. 31 .inches long was such
a fighter that it took a "committee" to bring it in
Monday morning below Shamrock dam. The lucky
anglers were Dale Moser, 14, on left who hooked
the fish and Jim Burdo, 13, who netted, it at the
end of a 12-minute struggle. Dale is the son of Mrs.
Jennie Moser and Jim's folks are the Dan Burdos.
Early Tuesday morning Dale was back at the Sentinel office with another pair of beauties, one pike
29% inches long and the other 22. The fish were
taken on light spincasting rigs. Sentinel photo.

Live Own
Lives", Teens
Are Advised
Teen-age 4-H'ers were
told last week at MSU to
think for themselves rather
than "go with the crowd".
Following a theme of
"Teen Citizenship' during
the 49th annual 4-H Club
Week, more than 1,200
teen-agers from all over
Michigan heard Dr. Owen
Morgan and Morley Fraser
among other speakers.
Dr. Morgan, Director of
the Skillman Center Program at the Merrill-Palmer Institute in Detroit,
said teens must have the
courage to challenge the
"They" concept, and live
their own lives.
Many of the teen-agers,
who planned the program
themselves, brought their
parents for the final sessions. Dr. Morgan said
teens must learn to take
over their own lives, and
live them • responsibly,
"basically on their own
steam". This must be done
in a responsive way, Dr.
Morgan said. "Too many
people sit around, waiting
for someone else to give
them their life, and fulfillment for that life."
He and Morley Fraser,
head football coach at Albion College, challenged
teens and parents to make
their own decisions based
on what is right for them,
and not influenced by others
Challenging the concept
of "They" —thatvague,undefined force of "everyone
else", is essential to becoming an individual and
living one's own life in
this mass society, -Dr.
Morgan said.
Fraser discussed the
parents' role in making
mature, responsibly citizens  of their teen-agers.
Fraser said parents also
have a responsibility not
to follow the crowd. Parents that always say
"yes" because other parents do, don't really love
their children. "Right now
'NO' Is the most important
word in the finglish language, but many parents
don t know how to Use it,.
Fraser said.

like this above will entertain watching
crowds around the shore of Shamrock
Lake Monday evening in the town's
observance of Indepenence Day. Details of this event and others in the
area July 4 doings are in a story on
this page.	
Don't Excite Stinging Pests
Stinging insects, -darn
the pests, are probably at
their height at this point
in the season and a story
earlier this month in The
Sentinel warned that allergic reactions to poison
stings might be serious and
might kill as many as 300
children and adults this
summer.
Quoting Dr William Solomon, allergist at the University of Michigan, the
story listed wasps, yellow
jackets, hornets, and the
common honey bee as the
most dangerous and painful.
The expert warned that a
person extremely allergic
to insect venom could possibly die in just ten minutes from the sting of a
single bee.
This should be enough to
make us want to find out if
we are one of those with
extra  sensitive reactions.
This is a good idea and
fine, but also other measures to avoid or counteract the danger are worth
while.
"Take shots," the doctor
advises or "try to avoid
being bitten or stung.'
Some pretty good common sense hints are offered
in this article which might
set our minds a little more
at ease about insect troubles.
One bit of advice may
confuse girls in skirts when
they read that full, billowing
costumes may trap stinging
insects and add to the chances of stings, while they can
figure out for themselves
that popular mini skirts are
bound to expose more target for  the flying enemy.
What's a girl to do?
Dr. Solomon explains in
a more serious vein that,
although the severity of
insect allergies has only
been realized in recent
years, he said, such reactions are not new.
"Hieroglyphics record the
death of a pharoah after a
single wasp sting. Bites of
spiders and deer flies have
rarely been reported as
severe or allergy-producing."
Most victims are warned.
Previous .stings cause vast
swelling, tightness in the
throat or chest, hives, asthmatic breathing or lightheadedness. Such allergic
reactions grow more
severe  with repeated ex-
Vacation
Next Week
At Sentinel
The annual vacation issue
of The Sentinel, printed
early and to be mailed so-
it will reach you on July 6,
took some printing schedule
changes and deadline reshuffling.
It's all for the sake of a
week off for Sentinel
staffers who will take their
vacations during the week
and be back on the job Monday, July 10.
News and want-ad copy
is being taken up to 10 a.m.
tomorrow for the July 6
issue.
Now, -telephones off the
hook everyone? Picnic
baskets and golf clubs all
ready to go? We'll see you
all  when vacation's over.
Church Hour
Summer schedule for the
First Congregational
Church (United Church of
Christ) will begin this Sunday July 2nd.
Morning worship service
will be at 9:30 a.m. and
the Sunday School will vacation during the months of
July and August.	
Antlerless Deer Take
posure. "These symptoms
should be clear-cut danger signals' .
No adequate tests are yet
available to warn those persons potentially allergic to
insect stings. "Many reactions occur in persons without other allergies. Although most severe reactions will not end in death,'
he added, "any allergic
symptom following a sting
indicates treatment is
needed.
"Preventive desensitizing injections of whole body
insect extract are over 90
per cent effective in reducing allergy to stinging insects." Weekly injections
at the U-M Allergy clinic
are started long before the
summer season and continue into the cooler fall
months. Shots are then reduced to aboil one injection
every four weeks. It is
interesting to note, said
Dr. Solomon, that shots
available for pollen allergy
in hayfever or asthma may
be only 70-80 per cent effective by comparison.
The U-M allergist also
recommends that children
and adults known to react
strongly when stung by insects should carry prescribed medications in a
locket or pill box. "If
swallowed seconds after a
sting, these pills could be
life-saving, reduce swelling
and aid breathing.'
Other instructions to
avoid being stung include:
—.Don't use hair tonic, after-shave lotion, hair spray
deodorant or perfume if you
are going outdoors. Floral
odors especially attract
bees and wasps.
—Brown, black, dark red
and floral prints excite insects more than white.
—Loose fitting clothes such
as head scarves and billowing skirts may trap the
insect.
—Never go barefoot or wear
sandals outdoors. Bees especially like clover; yellow

30-percent increase over
the 1966 antlerless quota
of 37,366 .
They are subject to further adjustments before
being brought back to the
Commission for final action
July 13-14 at the Higgins
Lake Conservation School.
Several factors support
the Department's liberalized antlerless deer quota:
Field checks show a good,
fawn crop potential for this
year which is down only
slightly in the Upper Peninsula and at least as high
as a year ago in the Lower
Peninsula.
Highway deer-car accidents also point to a good
sized herd.

book
With Michigan weather
praised or sometimes criticized, but almost always
drawing some kind of comment, Notebook was not too
surprised to hear a new
description of its changa-
ble quality this week,
' 'There's always something
different just under the
surface' .
On the Don Dalton estate
farm Tuesday, workmen
were leveling some knolls
with a 'dozer when they
discovered solid ice a few
feet under the topsail.- It
had lain insulated under
the shaded surface. Ervin
Arts, a neighbor brought
a football-size chunk of the
ice into the Sentinel Office
Tuesday where he proved
that climate is not always
the way it appears, "on
the surface".
City of Clare sanitation
worker s were busy last
week on curbside trash
pickup routes handing out
samples of plastic* garbage
can liners. The big bags
were given with the city's
compliments and the advice
that their use would make
garbage disposal easier for
householders and the city
crews alike.
The liner bags are for
sale by the city and will
make garbage cans "last
longer by preventing rust,
and in the winter season
preventing freezing of contents to the inside of cans.
Anyone who hasn't used
plastic liners _ can get a
trial supply by ordering
at city hall. Price, five
cents each.
To Improve
Signal At
10 and M-115
Oversize flasher signal
lights will be installed soon
at the intersection of US-10
and M-115 near Farwell,
the State Highway Commission   reported this  week.
The present flasher signals for eastbound traffic
at the "V' intersection
will both be replaced with
new, brighter 12-inch signals. The standard eight-
inch flasher southeast of
the intersection for westbound traffic will continue
in operation.
The larger signals will
be equipped with special
pinpoint type' lens, visible
only in the traffic lane
they are intended to regulate but at a much greater
distance than the old type
lens.
Dimmer switches willbe
installed on the new lights
to prevent drivers from
being "blinded" by the
bright light at night.
Better signal visibility,
the lenses are two and one
half times larger than the
smaller signals, and more
advanced warning are
aimed at reducing accidents at the intersection.
The change is expected
to be completed Within the
next 30 days and the cost
will be financed entirely
with state funds.
