MRS. WILLIAM J. WHITE RECALLS
TOWNS CHRISTENING
Gives Other Interesting Reminiscence
Connected with the Early Life
of the Town

Mt. Morris, Mich, Oct 8, 1915.
Editor of Clio Messenger,
Clio, Mich.
Dear Sir: Your recent inquiry in re-
gard to the origin of Clio, formerly my
home town, brings back to mind very
vividly, recollections of the time when
the name Varney tried to become at
tached to it, but it was decided upon as
Clio.
1t was claimed at the time that it
was named Clio meaning "glory, re-
nown" from the muse Clio, one of the
nine classical godesses who presided
over each one of the liberal arts. Clio
was the muse of history and epic
poetry, represented as bearing half
opened roll of book.
| remember taking part at the time
in discussion as to the pronunciation,
which some thought should be pro-
nounced as if the vowel were long e,
while thought if it were anglicized it
would receive the long sound, as we
now pronounce it.
| remember other things of interest
to me, one being an invitation by the
first conductor on the Pere Marquette.
a near neighbor, and of whose family
was an intimate friend, to join his FAM
lily party of young girls on our first ride
on one of the first passenger trains
over the road. Later this read as
sumed and has retained greater inter-
est for me, as while l was East at
school and teaching, the owners of the
road and families were relatives and
frequent visitors of the relatives with
whom / was staying and still later from
the amount of shipping which my hus-
band did over it.
/ will add this in regard to the name:
l heard something of the business. men
selecting the name as fitting one. OF
those at that time were Colonel Hill,
o. F. Stapton, John White, James L.
Curry, A. d. Salisbury, Ira Beebe, L.
L. Beeman and others.
Sincerely,
Mrs. VIM. j. White.

Surprise for Mrs. A. A. Haven

Miss Flora Haven and Mrs. j. J.
Jones gave surprise party for their
mother, Mrs. A.. A. Haven, Friday
afternoon, Oct. Sth, in honor of her
Gath birthday, at the home of Mrs.
Jones. There were twenty present and
the surprise was complete. All the
ladies were given a new name and near
ly everyone told story from their own
life or gave a recitation, which proved
very entertertaining.
Refreshments were served on small
tables, decorated with autumn leaves.
Just before the second course was
served the Birthday Cake" surround
ed by two rows of burning candles ap-
peared on the scene, and after the can
dies had been blown out, by the guest
of honor, all were served with a piece
of it. Before leaving for their several
homes, Mrs. Jennings, in behalf of the
blushing girls Of sixty, presented Mrs.
Haven with pretty sewing chair and
all departed wishing her many returns
of the day.

Business Change

An important change in the business
circles of Clio took place Monday, when
r. j. Wilson bought out w. G. Good
rich in the grocery business. Mr..
Goodrich has been engaged in this line
of trade in Clio for the last fourteen
years having, in company with Mr..
Armstrong, who now resides in Flint,
bought out j. Valiquet in 1901. For
about three years Goodrich & Arm
strong continued in business, when the
latter retired, since which time Mr..
Goodrich ran the business alone. Mr..
Wilson needs no introduction to the
people of this vicinity; for twenty-one
years he has been employed in the local
office of the Pere Marquette R. R.,
having entered the employ of the road
when about seventeen years of age and
has record unblemished as regards his
service to his employers and their pa
irons. Everyone will hope that he may
be as successful as he could wish. Mr..
Wilson took possession of the business
Tuesday morning and has, we under
stand, sent in his resignation to the
company. While this is being consid-
cred, and pending his release, Ernest
Hurd will look after the business for
him. Mr.. Goodrich has not as yet de-
termined just what business he will en-
gage in. but whatever it may be his
many friends will remember his unfail-
ing courtesy and business integrity and
will unite in wishing him every possible
success. Jobson & Hopkins made the
deal.

hart. Let all members be present.

FIRE PROTECTION
NEEDED IN CLIO
DEVELOPMENT OF FACTORIES DE-
MANDS ADDITIONAL FACILITIES
VILLAGE in Position to Get q System at
a Comparatively Small
Outlay

That Clio needs more efficient and
practical protection against fire does
not admit of argument. The village is
growing steadily, growing in CONNER
cial Importance as well as in population,
and in order that this growth may be
conserved and encouraged fairly ade-
quate protection against fire should be
provided. The best way to do this, it
appears, would be to install an electric
pump at the Vienna st. bridge which
would, of course, be connected with the
main laid in that street, could be start
ed instantly and would provide an mex
haustible supply of water. Insurance
rates, under present conditions, are al
most prohibitive in many instances, in
some cases as high as four per cent,
thus rendering it impossible to carry
enough insurance to cover possible
loss, which, if it occurred, would be
ruinous. Furthermore, not only the
business places of Clio would be pro-
tected by such system, but with say
1000 feet of hose, very large proper
tion of the residence section would also
be safeguarded from fire. This ar
rangement would permit the fire engine
to be kept in the engine house, where
it would be more readily available for
fires on the outskirts of town than at
present, making the protection better
all around. There is another feature
that appeals strongly to us in this con-
nection and that is the condition of one
of the towns most important manufac-
turing institutions, the Gillett Manu-
featuring Company. This concern Is
now fiourishing as never before; 1t Is
employing at present force of twenty
six men, and when the additions that
are now under way are completed this
will be augmented by at least ten more
men, but it is wholly at the mercy of
fire. Mr.. Gillett says that if the viii
lage should install pump his company
would willingly pay the expense of lay
ing a main from Vienna st. to the fac
tory, which would not only be available
for them. but for large area beside.
The factory could then install an ele-
waited tank and sprinkler system, which
would minimize the fire hazard and per-
nit them to carry an adequate amount
of insurance. Many towns would glad
ly pay bonus to get as important an
addition to their commercial strength
as the table factory is to Clio and sure
ly the village can afford to be very con-
siderate in its treatment of that insti-
tuition. The new condensary could also
be protected by such system and
would very likely make the same ar
rangement as Mr.. Gillett proposes, so
that the whole arrangement would
promise a maximum of benefits at a
minimum of expense. We understand
that the council has been offered en-
gineer's plans for such a system as has
been outlined and that the same will be
made public within short time.

Ceremonies Were Impressive

The ceremonies attendant upon the
laying of the corner stone of the new
Catholic church at Birch Run, last SUM-
day, were witnessed by large con-
course of people, estimated at 1000, and
were interesting as well as impressive.
At 3:15 o'clock procession headed by
Bishop Kelly and large number of the
clergy of the diocese marched from the
residence of Chas. Wolohan to the site
of the new edifice where the corner
stone, bearing the inscription "Church
of the Sacred Heart of Jesus" was laid
according to the ancient ritual of the
Catholic church. The language of the
ceremonial was Latin, the bishop lead
ing and the responses being read
by the clergy. At the conclusion of the
ceremonies the bishop delivered SER
mon in which he first called attention
to the universality of practice in the
Catholic church and said that the cere-
monies which the people had witnessed
were identical in every part with those
used in laying the corner stone of the
most magnificent cathedral. He like
wise discussed the early history of the
church. giving reasons for its assump-
tion of authority, and of the unity of
doctrine, discipline and worship which.
through all its history, has distin-
guished it. The bishop paid Rev.
Father Luby, of Mt. Morris, who is also
priest of the parish at Birch Run,
fine tribute, mentioning his enterprise
and zeal in building the new church
which, he said, would not only be con-
venience to the Catholics of the locality,
but source of growth and strength to
the town.
