Maurice Mitchell < wouldn't hurt
the feelings of any coffee counter
people for the world, but what's a
guy going to do when he likes
coffee stronger than most counters
serve it?
Well, here's his solution to the
problem, (and we do mean solution) !
"Mitch" kinda' bootlegs a little
container of instant coffee powder
into the restaurant or drug store
when he goes for coffee, and
(sh-h-h) he spikes the seven-cent
variety of the stuff until it is
strong enough to float an anvil.

Lyle Bond appeared as ihe speaker on Rotary's program Wednesday
noon at the regular lunch meeting
at the Hotel Doherty. He is a Clare
county boy who made good on the
west coast in the radio-TV-entertainment field and still enjoys
nothing more than a vacation at
home in Clare with lots of hunting
and wishing, and handshakes from
folks he used to know.
Lyle's wife, his mother Mrs,
Allen, and Mrs. Walter Kleiner
were- alii guesits of the club.
Bond told the listeners how he
happened to get a start in the
radio announcing profession, and
thca '.'jjoiled^aih the aisles'" with
stories of humorous things that
happen in the life and work of an
announcer.
"Air Breaks" are the most dreaded of all accidents that happen to
a speaker, he told the clubmen,
yet they happen in spite of all efforts to eliminate them.
Bond remembered one time while
working with Tom Harmon announcing a football game, "I was
describing the halftime activities
with Harmon away from the mike,
When the teams started back on
the field," he said.
"Hurrying to finish my talk and
turn the mike to Harmon, I said,
"The teams are back on the field
and lining off for the kick-up."
A big turnout of Rotarians and
guests heard Bond's entertaining
talk.
Guests were: Fred Turbush, with
AL-Seiter; Bill Brake with Rotarian Dr. Kelsey both from Mt.
Pleasant; Dex Elden with Frank
LaGoe; O. D. Bayes, Willard Bicknell, and visitor Rotarians Henry
Watter from Wisconsin, and C. W.
Schellehberger, of St. Johns.

The City Commission Aionday
night rejected all bids previously
submitted on the Northwest District sewer .(John R. truiiikline)
and made an agreement with Lud
Segerlund of Harrison to perform
all labor of trenching and tile laying on the |big project.
iSegerlund is employing Mai-tin
R, Robinson, of Evant, -who has
been on the job during the past
ten days or so in a "test trenching" operation to determine the
extent of water seepage and trench
Wall caving.
Robinson himself was lowest of
three original bidders for the entire jab, ,but failed to furnish bond
guaranteeing periformance of the
work at the $11,750 labor cost figure quoted in Ms ibid.
Cost of the sewer cannot be predetermined now on the 'basis of the
new agreement with .Segerlund, but
will be computed on- an hourly rate
of "about ?16,80t for the drag-line
machine and, a. crew of men". Com-
miSiSioners were told 'that the
hourly rate was roughly equal to
$2.00 per foot and still- represented
a great saving over the.lahor price
quoted by the next lowest bidder.
However, on the basis of progress since last Wednesday morning, the cost figured at $16.80 per
hour will prove to be slightly anore
that $2.50 per foot. Only S3 feet -of
tile were 'laid on Wednesday and
the work was going slowly agair*
Thursday morning.
Water and shifting sand ip the
ditch were responsible for the slow
pace.
.j*(Segerlund has a well established
.reputation as a drilling and eartk-
moving odntractor and has performed a great deal of work for
leading oil companies and others.
He had made a preliminary inspection -of the sewer job to aid Rob;
inson prepare his bid, but closer
istudy of the drawings and route of
the line indicated the work coultt
not be done except by the hourly
rate agreement, he told the com;
mission.
Discussion at the Monday night
commission meeting revolved
around the probability that fail
rain's would raise the water line so
that the sewer trenches would
have to be protected on the inside
against cave-ins and Iweakening
from seepage. . »■
Gonimiis'sionei'.s twere^itold that
necessary piling in- the trenches
would add considerably to the cost
of the project.
Aftmost a block length of trunk-
line pipe on the west side of McEwan street from. Wheaton Avenue
north, may !be left, out of the present job io hurry the project'' and
reduce the cost. The elimination of
the piece would not deprive any
property owner from sewer hook-up
at present, but might hatve to be
completed at some fulture date.

Perry's Boys
Beat St. Louis
And Reed City
Score 24 Points
Victory String at 3
The Clare High School gridders
are two victories richer this week
after meeting rival teams from
Reed ,City and St. Louis and taking
hard earned triumphs from both.
Reed City gave CHS a very even
battle in last Friday's game, until
the last four minutes of the tussle-
when with Clare ahead 6-0, Reed
City tried a desperation pass
which Joe Humphrey intercepted
and turned into a TD for the Green
and White. His fleet 95-yard plunge
to pay dirt was the most exciting
moment of the sport so far xthis
fall.
Wednesday's margin over St.
Louis was 12-6 in another even
game. The win over St. Louis gave
the Pioneers custody of "Casper"
the Goat.
Defeat  Reed  City
Clare topped Reed City under
.the lights here Friday night September 30, 12-0, both teams going
all out to win this bitterly fought
contest.
Clare kicked off to Reed City
opening the first quarter, and
although the Coyotes have a
hearlded offensive, they could not.
crack Clare's defensive line. Everyone played heads-up ball.
Clare was burdened with penalties in the starting quarter, which
stalled the Pioneer offensive.
In the second quarter, Joe
Plumphrey smashed the center of
Reed City's line for 65 yards and
the first Clare touchdown. The try
for extra point failed.
The next scoring threat came "in
the fourth quarter when Reed City
marched down to the Green and
White 2-yard line and scored. But
an offside called the play back and
then came the crushing finish to
Reed City's hopes as Humphrey
hauled down their touchdown pass,
and carried it 95 yards to score for
Clare. Again, Clare failed to convert the point after touchdown.
Pioneers Edge Crimson-Tide
Clare's winning streak carried
them through a well earned victory
at St. Louis, Wednesday -flight,
October 1, With the final score 12
to 6 Clai-e brought home the coveted goat,. "Casper." • ,
Clare's first tally caine in  the'
first period' with Bill Siel .slashing off right tackle for 30 yards* to
goal.
The longest run of the game was
also in the first quarter, When Norris Bay ran through all of St.
St. Louis' defense only to be hauled down from behind.
There wasn't any more scoring
until the third quarter. After a sustained drive of 40 yards, Clare's
power packed little halfback, Leo
Smith, drove for the touchdown to
end Clare's Scoring.
Late in the fourth period St.
Louis' fullback Palmer went 15
yards around end tb score, Th#
attempt for extra point was no
good.
St. Louis threatened again with
passes only to have time run out
on them. Both teams played a hard
clean game with very few major
penalties.
Ron Garthe gets credit for an
outstanding game. He .turned in a
magnificent job at his end position.
Although Ron played brilliantly-
there were others such as Jim
Duncan, Mark Ruark, Bill Ulrich,
and Jim Chandanais, only to mention a few, Who deserve lots of
praise. •
