BOARD OF COMMERCE

An enthusiastic and well attended
meeting of the newly organized Clio
Board of Commerce was held Wed
nesday evening. This was an in
formal meeting, held hastily, to con-
slider some matters of very much inn
portance to the future prosperity of
Clio. The committees on bylaws
and organization, appointed some
time ago, reported progress with
their work and it was decided to
have big dinner and get-together
meeting of all community boosters
on Tuesday evening next, October
%. A building program is now in
prospect that at present would seem
to promise a home for every family
that would like to- live here. This
plan has never been approached in
the liberality and practicality it af-
fords. Of course, we need a great
many additional homes in Clio, and
the building of them would mean
not only increased prosperity for
business men, but greatly enlarged
local market for farm produce-the
best market in the world. A prom
inent business man of Flint said, the
other day, that he could see no rea-
son why Cno, Dy exhDltlng nttle
enterprise, should not stand in rela-
tionship to Flint as Royal Oak does
to Detroit. Now then, let every man
who believes in growth; who believes
in the future of this section, who is
willing to help boost, plan to attend
the dinner next Tuesday evening.
The feed will take place at $50 p.
M, so it will not be superfluous
meal, and everyone who attends will
have bang-up good time. Some
good speakers will be on hand, also
some good musicians and everybody
will like the entertainment, and be
happy in the thought, as well, that
they belong to the modern world
and are helping in the worlds prog
ress. Merchants, farmers, working
everybody-come.

LETTER FROM ARKANSAW

Following are brief extracts from
a letter we have received from Mr..
and Mrs. H. f. Markey, who recently
moved from this place to Lurton,
Ark. We know the news it contains
will be read with interest by their
many friends here:
Enclosed please find remittance
for renewal of our subscription to
The Messenger. We have missed
several copies of the paper and we
surely want to keep in touch with
the best place in the u. S. Clio Is
surely fine little town to live in,
but we think life will be very enjoy
able here when we really get settled
and living. Harold is sending Eben a
peanut plant and head Of cane.
Thought he might like to take it to
school for the boys and girls to see
and then might lend it to his father
to put on display in the window. 1t
is a great place for boy and Harold
enjoys it more than anything he has
ever experienced in his life. Kind
ly remember us to Mrs. Reed and all
other friends"

RED CROSS ROLL CALL

The present membership Of the
American Red Cross in Genesee
County is 20,116. The need for a
continuance of the effectiveness of
this great organization cannot be
overestimated and it is hoped the nu-
merical strength of the organization
in the county can be at least main
tanned. During the war the efforts
of the Red Cross were beneficently
exerted to repair, so far as possible,
the havoc wrought by destructive
forces. From this time on, unless
our country should again become in
volved in war, it's work will be dis
tinctly constructive and the bene-
fits to humanity will be intellectually
greater than in war time. Surely
we can afford genel Gus support for
this great organization which made
such a magnificent record when our
boys were fighting "over there
The membership campaign will open
Sunday, Nov. 2, and the day will be
generally observed in the churches of
the United States, regardless of
creed. Nov. 10th has been set as
the date for branch annual meetings
and Nov. 26 for annual chapter meet
ings. We hope, and believe, the
people of Vienna township will con-
tinue their membership in undimin-
ished numbers. There will be no
campaign for funds, it will be for
memberships only and the cost will be
but one, dollar.

GREEN SCHOOL PATRIOTIC

Our readers will recall that we
paid tribute to the Waldo school, a
few weeks ago, in the matter of
flag raising. Well, that tribute
\ was deserved, all right, but for the
moment we had it little misplaced.
1t belonged, at that particular time,
to the Green school, which is located
in the same patriotic territory, only
!. 4 mile or so further on. The Waldo
= had flag staff in good repair, while
the Green was about to erect a new
one with appropriate ceremonies.
But we got the news over the tele-
phone, hence the mix-up. However,
we were one of the guests at the flag
raising and when we got to the school
house became one of the partic-
ipants in a first-class, good time and
now we want to pay the Green
school, its teacher, Miss Flossie Tom
: kinson, and the people of the district
the compliment which the occasion
made their due. Several of the boys
and girls gave patriotic recitations,
they sang the national songs in cho-
rus and gave an altogether creditable
program. Following this, Rev. Jo-
seph Dibley, pastor of the M. P.
Church, gave an inspiring address
and paid an eloquent tribute to the
flag and The writer responded to an
invitation with a few words. Then
the party adjourned to the school
grounds where the staff was raised
and beautiful bunting flag was un-
furled to the breeze. After this, ev-
erybody returned to the school house
again and the ladies of the district
served a delicious luncheon. OF
course, the flag was the main thing,
but some of the cake we had out
there was of character to strength
en- one in the belief that he lives in
the best country and under the hand
soonest flag on the face of this earth.

FAVOR EASTERN TIME

At the meeting of the Clio Board
of Commerce, held Wednesday even

continuing the use of the present
time (Eastrn Standard Time) was
taken. It was considered that our
closest business relationships are
with Flint and Detroit and that il
would be a very great convenience
to keep the same kind of time they
have in those cities. Moreover,
a large number Of workmen who live
here and work in Flint, will be
obliged to use Flint time. 1t is
understood that the churches will
continue to use the old time and il
is to be hoped that everybody will
concur in such action.
