Yule Checks
Mailed By
Citizens Bank
Ghristmas Club members
for 1967 at Citizens Bank
and Trust Company have
maintained a trend of gaining numbers anoV saving
greater amounts, J, Stuart
Bicknell, president of the
bank said this week. This
years club had 710 members and their total Christmas savings is $69,250.
Checks for all of them
were mailed in time for
delivery today, Thursday,
Bank officials said the
distribution of the money
at the start of holiday shopping time is the fulfillment
of the bank's invitation last
year to, "Wrap up a happier
Yule with a Christmas Club
plan   to fit your  needs."
As always, the-money is
used for many purposes including winter vacations,
tax payments, adding to
regular savings programs
and others. But most people
find their checks useful in
gift shopping and. the club
distribution has a powerful
effect in starting holiday
shopping with a rush in local and area stores.
At the same time as the
mailing of the 1967 checks,
Citizens Bank & Trust announces the Opening of their
new 1968 Christmas Club
with the same promise that
members will find great
Satisfaction and happiness
at next year's holiday time
When their club checks arrive to pad their shopping
budgets.

Floyd Boardman Wins:
C-C "Citizen" Award
The sound of a 35-bell Glockenspiel
is echoing for miles around the town "of
Frankenmuth with Thanksgiving hymns and
lively German tunes. A 50-foot hell tower
with specially cast carillon bells and figure
work for the Pied Piper of Hameln has
just been completed. The rower, which was
built in traditional Bavarian style architecture* can be seen from all roads leading into
Frankenmuth from the south.
License Is
ELITE LEADERSHIP COURSE
Tamper Proof Bob Haf er Selected
A new process for embossing the state .coat of
arms-into all laminated
Michigan driver licenses
has been started by the
Michigan Department of
State.
According to Secretary
of State James M. Hare,
it will "help make the
Michigan color-photo driver licenses more resistant to tampering."
Hare said lamination of
licenses was begun several
years ago as a deterrent
to tampering with the licenses.
"This plasticizing did
help to make our licenses
tougher to tamper with and
forge," he noted. "Now,
the embossed coat of arms
raised on the lamination
will make them even more
difficult to 'doctor up' for
illicit purposes."

Can CHS Keep Record
Intact Against Jays?
Any bird watcher can tell
you that a Blue Jay is nobody's ;pi*geon,, and that
goes double if the bird
watcher is Clare High
Pioneer football partisan.
- The Shepherd Blue Jays
alone stand between Clare
and an undefeated season
record and the scrappy
Jays could give their football stature a big boost if
they could upset favored
CHS.
The tough test will come
Friday night (tomorrow) on
the Clare field when the
lights come on for the kick-
off at 8:00 p.m.
While Coach Gary Rayburn' s -Pioneers were
putting away Cheboygan,
19-0 up north last week,
the Blue Jays were methodically trampling Breckenridge 14-0.
Clare and Shepherd have
not faced many of the same
opponents this year* and
comparing the two teams
may be impossible. But
the Jays *are not exactly
an unknown quality, —they
have always been tough.
Add to this the desire
of every team to "stop
Glare", The Pioneers have
carried, a rating in the top
eight Class B teams In the
state and higher than that
in area ratings.
Every eleven on Clare's
schedule is "up"' for the
CHS game and hoping for
the moment of glory that
would be theirs if they
could upset the Pioneers.
In the Clare camp, the
US-10 Conference championship is locked up safely
and the remaining big goal
is   an  Undefeated  season.
Last Friday's 19-0 victory
over Cheboygan was a
chance for Coach Rayburn
to watch all his players in
action     as     substitutions

Thirty outstanding young
Michigan men have been
awarded fellowships to participate in the Kellogg Farmers' Study Program at
Michigan State University.
Members of the group, announced this week, join 60
other rural leaders selected over the past two years.
Bob Hafer, Denver Township cattle feeder, was selected among this year's
group. Bob has been active
in many community affairs
including Isabella County
Livestock Producers, Isabella County Fair and
Michigan Cattle Feeders
Association. He operates a
500 acre farm, 4 miles east
of Rosebush and feeds out
500 head of cattle each year.
He also is in partnership
with his father in the Earl
Hafer & Son livestock
trucking business.
' The new group will make
up the "freshman class"
for a unique, three-year
leadership training program. In return, some of
the state's most promising
rural leaders agree ' to
spend at least one month a
year off the farm studying
problems and issues on the
local, state, national and
world scene.
The program, designed to
•identify and train future
agricultural and community leaders, is underwritten
by a $432,000 grant to MSU
by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Now near mid-point
of a five-year venture, the
program is under the direction' of Dr. Richard Feltner
of the University's Department of Agricultural Economics. It is part of training in public affairs
sponsored by MSU's Cor..
Operative Extension Service.
Picking a hundred young
farmers with the greatest
leadership potential is no
simple task. While some of
the group named this fall
had applied previously, Dr.
Feltner commented, "We
could have made the entire
selection from 60 or more
new applicants and had an
outstanding group,"
Nor is it an easy decision for the young farmers.
Participants are In the 25-
30 age range. Most are
married With young families, '
In the competitive business of m o d e r n-day,
agriculture, careful management is crucial in getting
firmly established. Being
away from the farm 30-60
days a year requires a
dedicated commitment and
no small amount of plan-,,
ning with the family 'and
business partners. Twelve
of the group selected this
fall are dairy farmers, four

New Idea!
Rent Cows
Castles or cows. Which
ever it is, there are times
when a rental contract may
be useful to owner or
renter.
In the- case of cows, a
rental contract, if properly
written— may prove quite
advantageous.
It can, for example, be
a boon to the aging dairy
farmer who has grown
weary of the manual labor
and responsibility associated with managing a milking herd.
Yet the farmer can't afford   to   retire.   Solution;
Rent his  herd and get an*
income from it for several
more years.
Too, for the young dairy
farmer just starting out, a
cow rental contract maybe
a means of increasing the
size of his milking herdr<
without the heavy expense
that purchase of additional
cows would entail. '"■
Cow rental contracts con-*
tain basically the same" ,
standard features found in
other contracts. Their effectiveness is Increased,
however, if they contain a
bonus feature. *
Ideally, rental payments
will be made monthly with
bonus payments for production above a specified base ■*
milk production level, with
appropriate allowance for
fluctuations due to the production cycle.
Income from milk pro^
duction above the base level
should be shared by both
owner and renter.
.The income share thus -
proves an incentive for the
ownervto provide high quality rental cows, and for
the renter to provide good
feeding   and management.
