FALL COAT Every so often even a fire hydrant will need a new wardrobe for a
new season.   This fire hydrant located on the corner of U.S. 10 and McEwan was

the defensive back, Jerry
Eberhart the defensive
lineman and Bud Wiley
and Chris Busche the offensive linemen of the
game.
Clare had 8 - 1st downs
to Ttbac. 'Sv.lOf J18. total
yards to Ithaca's 179 total yards.
Clare attempted 10 passes and completed 5 with
one interception. Ithaca
attempted 13 passes and
completed 4 with two interceptions.
Naturally the turning
point of the game was
Myer' s interception but
tremendous credit has
to be- given tothe defensive unit when they stopped Ithaca short on the
one yard line late in the
2nd quarter.
The Clare Pioneers'
varsity squad met the
Gladwin Flying G's Friday, September 12; the end
results of which game
were hardly satisfying to
the Pioneers. Gladwin
played the Pioneers
across the field for a 22
to 8 victory.
There is probably little to say about this game
other then that The Pioneers beat themselves by
allowing the Flying G's
to ourcharge them. Also,
The Pioneers made more
mistakes than the Gladwin team.
In that game, Gladwin
scored on three long passes. Clare scored from
the three when Jerry Eberhart dove over from
there.
Dennis McNerney
threw the two point conversion  to  Dale  Moser.
Court Order Resumes
Classes In Coleman
_.i
The 65 striking members of the Coleman Education Association went
hack to school Monday,
September 22 following
the appearance in Circuit
Court in Midland of the C.
E. A. and the Coleman
Board of Education on
Thursday, September 18.
In that court, Judge
Rood sent the striking
instructors back to school
for at least 60 days, during which time he charged
both parties to negotiate
in good faith.
The  teachers  announced  on Wednesday, Sep-
.  tember 10 that beginning
the next  day they would
With hold their services.
The issue over which
they were striking, according to Tom Saylor,
CEA President and Nor-
val Bovee, Coleman Superintendent of Schools,
was the April 15 return
date for individual contracts. The schools, according to Bovee, needed
to know early in Spring
which instructors would
be returning the following Fall in order to plan
hiring.
The CEA charges that
the early return date deprives them of bargaining
power during master contract time. The CEA
has also charged that the
early return date is an
unfair labor practice and
has taken the matter to
court.
This charge will come
up before the State Labor
Mediation Board.in Isabella County on October
2.
Following Judge Rood's
decision that the instructors were to return to
school, all 65 returned
including six instructors
whom the school board
is   suing for $10,000 each
