Leads '66 Mark
The land nobody wanted" it was called when tax delinquencies several decades ago turned millions of acres
of it back to the State. This same land, which makes up
3.75 million acres of state forests in Michigan, today is
» -_.y much in demand by just about everybody—campers, hunters,
fishermen, timber cutters, mineral interests, hikers, sightseers, et al. • In serving this broad swath of recreationi&ts
and commercial interests under the Conservation Department's multiple-use program, state forests have a big
impact on Michigan's economy and its wildlife populations.
For example, last year's record timber harvest in state
forests generated $107 million of income within Michigan's
timber-using industry and brought relief for the hungry
stomachs of an estimated 100,000 deer. The use of state
forest campgrounds alone routed nearly $2 million into
local tills during 1966. Spending by hunters and fishermen
who used state forests last year meant millions of dollars
more to the economy. Not to be figured in dollars and cents
is the tremendous uplift that hordes of people get from
their leisure-time outings in state forests.	
Early Leader Topped
In Pin Team Event
M
Bowlers in the 1967 Clare
^.ien's Championship Tournament who .have already
■jemolished '_.&$ year's
scoring - records, made an
all-out assault last week
end on this year's team
leaders and set the stage
for more suspense in next
Saturday and Sunday's final games of the annual
affair.
Top scoring leaders who
bowled on the opening week
end saw their marks
survive in Doubles, Singles, and All-Events, but a
new first-place holder in
the Team division, Bob's
gales and Service took over
after the smoke cleared
March 4 and 5.
Four teams on the March
4-5 weekend elbowed in
among the eight leaders,
and the last-year's high of
3033 fell to Bob's Sales'
score of 3051,
Following in the next two
places are J&R Builders
with 2996, and Holley Carburetor No.   6  with 2980.
It's a safe bet that
Doubles contestants will
need to average 620 per
man, or better to place in
the tourney's top 10 pairs
with the pace evident at
Jackpine Lanes this year.
Leaders from the first
weekend whose score of
1295 has kept them on top
are T; Davis and G. Garchow followed by G. Nash
and N. Hammond with 1289
and D. Kleinhardt and Cal
Cotton with 1283. In a tie
at 1225 for lastplace money
and with the final weekend
yet to go, are Bailey-Goudie, and Weil-Weatherhead.
Singles and All Events
scoring is led by the big
margin posted by Ed White
with 725 in Singles and
1997 in All Events.
Opening weekend leaders
in these divisions have held
on to their places with the
exception-of •Srdpl.acsMn -.11
Events.
Singles scores following
White's 725 are J. Spicer
and. G. Schutz toed at 691,
and J. McLaughlin with 667.
All Events places behind
White's 1997 are K. Fox
with 1915, and D. Bay taking over third place in the
second weekend with his
1904.

A newsy bulletin from
Chamber of Commerce
Manager Ken Barnes
reached members on Wednesday this week and said
that membership sales for
the first 21 days of the 1967
campaign are showing a 25
percent gain over the same
starting period last year.
Fifty-five members have
signed up and Barnes has
been busy delivering de-
cals for displaying in individual places of business.
A desire for early re-
'mittance of membership
dues and fees in the organization is for the treasury boost to enable
payment of two extra items
of expense listed in the
bulletin.
The C-C has a payment
due this year of $1,800.
on property bought for an
industrial site near Clare's
west city limits. It is the
location formerly used by
Watervliet Paper Company's pulpwood yard.
The other expense budget item listed as a major
one by the bulletin, is the
cost of new electric wiring
on McEwan street and on
Fourth and Fifth for the
extension of lighted Christmas decorations during the
holiday season.
More business news in
the optimistic bulletin included improvements at
Loomis Machine Company's plant on E. Fourth
where the office will be
moved and modernized.
A contract has been let
for remodeling the building
owned by Loomis and formerly occupied by the
Bruckart Motor Sales.
When finished, the building
just west of Guys & Dolls
Photography will be the
new Loomis business headquarters and production
will move into the present
office space.
A      modern      business
cki-lding across the street',
froitt* the postoffice on W.
Fifth has been leased by
ov/ner Robert Campbell to
Tower Finance, a loan
company now operating in
the Midland, Petoskey and
Traverse City areas.
The new occupant plans
to move in and open business on or about April 1
this year.

Clare Bands
M All Is
In Festival
The District 9 Senior
Band Festival, held in
Clare High School February 25 saw the local
musicians come out with
superior ratings from all
judges.
The three judges who
passed on their concert
performance and the sight
reading judge were unanimous in their decision, giving both the Symphonic
Band and the Reserve Band
straight firsts.
Bands from 12 schools,
with membership totaling
over 600, competed against
musical standards in the
annual attempt to win the
coveted "first".
Generally, the meaning
of the r a t i n g s are:
I-superior, II-above average, Hi-average, IV-below
average, V- a poor performance. The final rating is
an average of the three
concert ratings and one
sight-reading rating.
Just two other bands
earned ratings averaging
One. Standing close behind
Clare were bands from
Tawas Area Schools and
from Arenac Eastern.
Bands receiving firsts
are now eligible to participate in the State Festival
to be held on April 29; the
location is not yet certain.
Progress High
In Tw Course
At SLCeoilia
There are some television fans who jokingly refer
to their sets as, "boob
tubes", but a modern educational use for television
is making it appear more
and more like a lamp of
learning.
At St. Cecilia school in
Clare, use of telecast lesson material is inspiring
7th and 8th graders to
unusual progress in subjects like natural science,
biology, astronomy, physics and more.
Students under the classroom supervision of their
teacher Sister Mary Sybille
CSSF, are advanced in the
accumulation and use of
lecture notes, and will soon
invite parents and friends
to come and see an exhibit
of their projects and
demonstrations on many
specific subjects.
The date for this viewing
has been set for March 30
and the exhibits will cover
a large area of tables and
wall surfaces, -each project identified with the
names of the students who
prepared the work.
Reconstructions,
mechanical devices, drawings and diagrams, and
working models of machines and processes all
show the fine understanding these students are
attaining for things as
widely diverse as Formation of Prehistoric Terrain
or Behavior of Light, or
The Motion of Planets, or
the study of Insects and
other subjects.
It is a source of pride
to students and their teacher alike that portions of
what these St. Cecilia grade
students are learning are
sometimes included, in
other study courses"1 for
levels as high as second
year high school.
• Note books" are pictures
of neatness and thorough
information on the many
topics taught.
Lectures and project
guides are received iji the
classroom at St. Cecilia
and elsewhere via the picture tube and presentations
are made by instructors of
top ability.
A vote among all students
in this school will determine winners from the 7th
and 8th grade projects,^
These winners will then be "
invited to show their work
some time in ../lay on the
telecast network originating from Mt. Pleasant.
Commission
Appoints Tice
Elry Tice, acting chief
of Clare police since the
resignation last month of
Roger DePue, was appointed chief by the Clare City
Commission at its March
6 meeting and was sworn
in on Wednesday.
Tice had been hesitant
about assuming the title,
giving the reason that the
responsibility of the job
might conflict. with other
interests.
One of the first actions
on his new job is an invitation for persons to apply
for the job of part-time
clerk in the police station.
It is a desk job.
Interested persons should
apply in person at the station between the hours of
8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Clare police will maintain a closer check of over
time parking of autos in the
city lot in the 100 block of
W. Fourth street, too.
Tice said that the effort
will be to make the best use
of the lot for shopper parking and the two-hour limit
would be enforced.
Tapes were made of both   Ttt-irt-f^ T*-iiT\1-_r»
Clare bands last Saturday   -i-W.VJ.U_: X UU-LIV*
and it is very likely that   rr\     -r_
parts of their performance    1 O JTTOUTdiXX_
Will be included in the souvenir record now being offered in advance sale by
band members and the Band
Boosters club.
On Saturday, March 11,
Clare's Junior and Intermediate Bands will travel
to Oscoda to participate in
the District Junior Band
Festival. These two groups
of about 40 members each,
also will be going for a top
rating but against more
relaxed musical standards.
First Congregational
Church of Clare has extended an invitation to the
public to hear a program
Wednesday, March 15. Mrs.
John Finlayson will present the-religious reading,
"Family Portrait*', a dramatic story, of the last
three years in the life of
Christ as seen by his family
and friends.
