Neighborhood Notes

The funeral of Mrs. Geo. Clute. an
esteemed resident of Mt. Morris, was
held last Saturday.
James Mcdonnell, of Mt. Morris, was
struck by jitney at Flint, Sunday, and
so badly injured that he had to be sent
to hospital.
Miss Elizabeth Kerr, of Birch Run.
died at her home there last Sunday.
Her former home was in Detroit and
she was professional nurse.
Aviator Don MCGEE, of Saginaw,
made two nice flights over Clio last
Sunday, going and coming from an en-
gagement at Flint. His time both ways
was about sixty miles an hour. The
huge bird away up in the blue made a
charming picture.
Sheriff Frank Green has asked the
Board of Supervisors to provide him
with motorcycle officer, so that the
people of the county may be protected
in their use of the highways against
drunken and reckless drivers. He also
recommended that minimum fine OF
$25. 90 be taxed against first offender:
against speed regulations and tina,
second offenders be given Jail SEN
tence. The sheriff's recommendations
are in line with the common sense
policy he has consistently pursued dur
ing his term of Office and should meet
with ready compliance on the part OF
the board. The manner in which the
highways are used by a certain class oi
persons is positively shameful.

Rural Route Changes

On and after July lst several changes
in the rural postal routes served from
this office will be in effect. Patrons
living in section 81 of Thetford, who
have hitherto been served by route No.
l of Clio will hereafter receive their
mail through carrier from the Mt.
Morris office. Patrons of Clio route
No. 3 who live on the road one mile
north of Mt. Morris and extending two
miles west from the plank road and
those living on the road extending
three miles directly west of Mt. Nor
ris village, will, on and after July 1st,
receive service from Mt. Morris car
rier The latter office which lost one
route under the readjustment year
ago will have the same re-established.
A portion of the route east of Mont
rose and at present served by carrier
from that office will after the first of
the month be attached to route No. of
the Clio office. Just how the new ar
rangement may suit the convenience of
patrons cannot be known until the
scheme is tried out.
Another matter of Importance to
rural patrons is that on and after July
lst all rural mail boxes which are new
y erected or replaced must be of a
sufficient capacity to accommodate par
eel post packages. Old boxes which
are fit for service may be used as long
as they are in good condition. but if re-
placed must be of a size and type ap-
proved by the department. Specifica-
tions for these boxes have not yet been
received by the local office but it is ex-
pected they will be at an early date.

night in an automobile accident a mile
east of Birch Run when Studebaker
six" automobile carrying seven pas
sengers went into ditch and struck a
telephone pole. The occupants were
hurled from their seats against the
telephone pole and fence. Conflicting
stories were told by the occupants OF
the automobile regarding the rate OF
speed at which they were travelling
when the accident occurred. When the
police ambulance from Flint arrived
upon the scene the Negroes said that
they were travelling abont 35 miles an
hour when Sam Davis who was driving,
attempted to pilot the auto around the
sharp turn at the corner of the road.
1t is reported that the machine struck a

Later on the colored men claimed they
were not going faster than Is miles per
hour but the officers discredit these re-
por Is. The automobile is owned by
Leslie Gillett and it is said that Davis
is employed by Mr.. Gillett. Davis took
the automobile Sunday night about 9:3C
O'Clock to go for ride with his friends
and the accident occurred while they
were headed for Saginaw by way OF
Birch Run,
James Crawford, one of the party,
whose chest was crushed, died after
reaching the hospital, while another
sustained broken arm and still other
fracture of the thigh. Crawford is
said to have been a white man.. The
automobile was one which Mr.. Gilett
had taken in a deal and was badly
wrecked but hung together sufficiently
so that it could be towed back to Flint
1t is said the owner did not know the
automobile had been taken from the
garage.

Clio. Michigan. Friday June 30, 1916

at Ypsilanti, was splendid and inspiring.
The main thought of the address was
taken from DR.. Henry Van Dykes
famous story of 'The Other Wise Man"
in which Artiban, the hero of the tale,
who had conceived desire to possess
three beautiful jewels, diamond, a
sapphire and pearl, expending there
fore all his great wealth, is successfully
persuaded to part with them. first that
suffering and wounded enemy might
be healed, second that slave girl
might be restored to her kindred, and
third and last, the pearl of great price
was given that babe might be saved
from death according to the order of
Herod the king. The central thought
was, of course, that of service to hu-
manity and that all earthly ambitions
should be secondary to that purpose.
Geo. Lacure, president of the school
board, presented the diplomas.
The musical features by the High
School School Glee Club and the piano
solo by Miss Ella Russell were excep-
tionally enjoyable, as were also the
selections on class day evening by the
ladies' quartette and Miss Uptegraff.
We cannot close this article without
stating our belief that the past year
has been very successful one for the
schools and without extending our
hearty congratulations to Prof. White
and his corps of teachers on the result
attained.
