Home Burns
The residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Riley Hilyard in Clare
at the corner of Maple
street and W. State burned
with almost complete loss
of building and contents
shortly before noon Wednesday.
Hilyard, who is employed
by Welded Construction
pipeline builders was at
work when the fire was discovered and his wife with
four of their nine children
had left to spend the day
with relatives in Midland.
The other children were in
school.
Neighbors discovered
smoke pouring from the
roof and openings in the
house and turned in the
alarm at about 11:20 a.m.
Firemen arrived quickly,,
but found the whole interior of the house at tinder
heat and choking smoke
trapped inside. Flames
were everywhere in the
walls, but impossible to
find until the roof was
opened with axesandpower
saws.
Hilyard said he and his
family moved into the house
in September and he was
buying it. Extent of the in-'
surance coverage was not
determined.

the clear memory of some
of our old timers.
GETTING
ANSWERS
TO YOUR
QUESTIONS
A fresh, new dollar is
being sent to the author
of the question, -Jay Clute
of 6549 E. Colonville Road,
Clare and another dollar
is waiting for the first answer to a tough one:
"Are there any photographs and a record of the date of
a Civil War Army veterans reunion held a long time ago
in Clare?"
Mr.   Clute goes on to say he remembers that the
reunion included an encampment on vacant land, "somewhere   near  the   spot  where  St.   Cecilia's   church and
school now stand".
There was a sham battle with soldiers and some small
cannon which took place north of the public school property. An accident burned one of the soldier's hands as he
held a thumb over the cannon touchhole and the weapon
fired unexpectedly.

the first phase construction of the new community
college to be located on Old
U.S. 27 between Clare and
Harrison.
Considerable enthusiasm
was expressed by the Board
and administration when the
bidding was considerably
lower than was anticiapted.
College President Gillaspy
stated the majority of the
ten bidders on the basic
proposal were 20% below
expectations.
He further stated that the
very favorable bidding will
permit the adding of many
of the fine features that
would have been eliminated
had the bidding not been
in accord with the budget.
President Gillaspy added
that considerable credit
must be given to the architect, Alden B. Dow Associates, for bringing all phases of the project into line
so excellently after the bids
were rejected three months
ago.	
Get Rid
Your Spring
Lawn Rakings
The Clare City Sanitation
Department had words of
advice to residents this
week about pickups of trash
garbage and lawn rakings
and reminded homeowners
of an ordinance which governs this city service.
The department recommends the use of plastic
bags as trash and garbage
containers, said Glen Cain,
city manager. The sturdy
bags may be used to fill
with waste material or may
be used as handy liners for
garbage cans, and then tied
and lifted out to place beside the curb for pickup.
Anyone may purchase the
bags in quantities of 100
from operators of the sanitation truck or at the city
clerk's   office   for   $5.00.
The ordinance provides
that all garbage must be
drained and wrapped if not
in plastic bags. Cans or
pails must be tightly sealed, no larger than 30
gallons and weigh no more
than 50 pounds when filled.
Garbage pickups are twice
weekly and items for
collection are to be placed
between the sidewalk and
curb.
Tree trimmings, brush
and rakings will be picked
up from time to time as
the work load permits. Cain
answered the seasonal
spring question about
leaves, dead grass and
weeds that accumulate in
the spring.
"If residents will place
this material in boxes,
plastic bags or other containers, it will speed the
pickup service and prevent
higher cost to the city for
the service provided", he
said.
The city's sanitary landfill is open for disposal
of refuse by Clare residents only if they wish to
haul their own. It is open
Monday through Friday
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
and Saturdays 8 to 12 noon.

College Board Chairman
Paul A. Rhoades expressed
the attitude of the entire
college community when he
announced to the Board of
Trustees that, "we are finally over the top after a
two-year climb."
He further stated, "It
has been a long wait in
order to deal properly with
all  the  necessary details
leading up tu the extensive
building program we have
undertaken. However, I am
very proud of the work of
an excellent Board of Trustees and Administration
who have worked so deli-
gently to make the proper
decisions at this crucial
time  in  our development.
The  low bids are being
reviewed by the architect
prior to a recommendation
for acceptance.
The two lowest bidders
on the' basic proposal were
Peter Schierbeek Construction Company from McBain,
and Johnson-Klein, Incorporated, from Portage.
Low mechanical'bidders
were John Green Plumbing

and Davanay Plumbing and
Heating from Flint.
Low electrical bids were

City.

scheduled to begin in two
or three weeks.
