Now is the time to get out your clubs and be ready for the free golf clinic. at the special YWCA. clinic, which this year is for men and women and for young people too, will start tomorrow at 8 p.m. It will be held the two following Wednesdays at the same time, final clinic being given out of doors, where the group can get in some real practice. Pro Instructors Since the golf pros of the three country clubs in this area will be in charge, you'll be getting superb teaching.

In fact, a attended number of the women who the first clinic two years ago said they learned more in one lesson than they had from whole courses on golf they'd taken before. One of the reasons of course, is the caliber of the instruction. There'll be Ron LaParl, pro at Battle Creek Country Club, who'll have his assistants with Retired Postum Veteran Dies Clarence S. Bartels, 64, former newspaper man, later in the traffic department at the Postum Cereal Co. and its successor corporations, died at 12:25 a.m.

today at his home, 82 W. Kingman ave. Mr. Bartels had been forced by ill health to retire at the Post Division offices in April, 1935. It was an illness later diagnosed as multiple sclerosis.

For 22 years, however, he remained a cheerful patient and until the last year had kept up a lively interest in sports, community and world affairs. Athlete-Scholar He was born in Harriman, Tenn. Oct. 5, 1892, the son of C. and Carrie (Lovelace) Bartels.

His mother survives in Battle Ground, Wash. As a small child he moved with his parents to Crandon, Wis. After high school he was graduated in journalism at the Oshkosh State Normal School in 1914. He won both scholastic and sports honors in both high school and college. His first newspaper work was in Hemlock, Mich.

From there he went to the Augusta Beacon before joining the editorial department of the Enquirer and News. In August, 1917, he enrolled in the Officers' Training Camp at Ft. Sheridan, Ill. and was commissioned a second lieutenant. Mr.

Bartels was assigned to the 3rd British Army School in England and then transferred to the 1st Division in France, He became rail transportation officer at Neufchateau, France, where in the late days of the war he was stricken with influenza and pneumonia and was sent to Nice to recuperate. Before his discharge in June, 1919, he had been recommended for a captaincy. Survivors Listed Immediately after his discharge he joined the traffic department at the Postum Cereal continuing there until forced to retire. Mr. Bartels was married on Aug.

22, 1919 to Leora B. Wilson, who survives. Also surviving besides his mother are a daughter, Mrs. G. E.

(Lois) Eisinger of Detroit; a brother, H. C. Bartels of Portland, and several nieces and nephews. He was a member of A.T. Metcalf Lodge No.

The clinics will help your game, whether you're pretty expert and want only a few hints for improvement, or whether you've never had a golf club in your hand and have borrow one from the neighbor to learn. Reservations Unnecessary It isn't necessary to make reservations- -just come. However, it would be helpful to call the YWCA, to give them an idea of how many to expect. The golf clinics are a result of demand in this area. Two years ago, noting that golf clinics were for men only, I complained that this was discrimination.

The golf pros, mildly amused, said if I could prove that 20 women in town were interested, they would start a free clinic. I wrote asking those interested to phone. Within 24 hours 60 women had phoned. The first clinic had 129 women, last year's nearly 200. The pros were properly impressed, and heeding the request that a lot of women would like to bring their husband or teen-age child along, they so arranged this year's clinic.

P.S. Here is an extra special added attraction. For those who are interested in more than one sport, or even if you're only interested in one, there will be a tennis clinic too. The tennis lessons will be given on the same day as the golf clinic, Wednesday, evenings at 7 p.m., just one hour before golf clinic opens. Mrs.

Kaye Frye of the YWCA staff will teach, and you'll need to bring both tennis racket and balls to the session. If you're interested call the YWCA, and let them know.
