                    The Men You Meet in St. Clair County
                    
                 Supervisor JOHN FINK, of St. Clair, celebrated
               his 70th birthday last Sunday. On Saturday he
               was in Port Huron and he told a number of his
               friends that he had never felt better in his life,
               even though he was about to begin his seventy-
               first year.
                 MR. FINK was born in Prussia. He moved to St.
               Clair city in the year 1854 and has resided there
               for 57 years.
                 "I can remember when St. Clair was bigger than
               Port Huron." MR. FINK said to The Times-Herald
               a few days ago. "In the year 1855 St. Clair had
               eight saw mills, three brick yards and one large
               foundry, which was located where the Diamond
               Crystal Salt Co.'s plant now stands. The popu-
               lation of St. Clair was then about 1,600."
                 MR. FINK helped make the brick for the Union
               school, and also for the seven other brick
               buildings that were in St. Clair at that time.
               MR. FINK has held the office of city treasurer
               of St. Clair and for a number of years he has
               been supervisor. He has also represented his
               ward in the St. Clair common council.
                 MR. FINK has six children, five sons and one
               daughter. MRS. FINK died some time ago.
