PEACE TIME
Disease Prevention
An even break was the best the bo;, b
could" get this time, the Orange and
Black    being   the    victors    and   the
Green  and White  taking the   defeat, '
making it fifty-fifty all around. ;
Both teams showed nluch improvement over their previous playing and :
two good games was the result.   Every member on both teams seemed to
be in splendid form and fought every j
minute of the  game.    Although  Don
Burkhart was handicapped by a bad ;
ankle,   the   two   hundred   pounds   of
flesh and hona that  he termed  "hi s '
m»an" during the   game  did  not   get
many open shots at the basket.   Don
seemed to take  a liking co  him and
fell    all   over   him   every   time   the ■
chance came along. !
The    Graein    and   "White,   although ■
outweighed by  about  twenty  pounds j
to the man, put up a great fight anl
had the crowd on their feet and yell-;
ing like Indians all through, the con-.
test.    They lost in the last few minutes of play.   It was a good game to
watch, but a hard one to lose. j
Thursday night  of   tliis   weak thij:
Orange and Black play the strong "Y ;
Celts" of Detroit,   and  the boys will
have   to   go   at  top   speed the entire'
game if they wish to- annex this one,
for the "Y Celts" are playing  Class
A championship  ball   and  have  not
lost a- game   since   the   first   of   last
season.    Let's   see  it  our   boys   can
stop them'. i
The Green and Wliite play the Dex- •,
ter Town team the same night,, com-:
pleting the third double attraction,
staged here this season. This game,'
of course, will develop into a hot .
fight, as the the friendly feeling be- j
iween the Dexter.and Saline boys has !
been at the breaking point ever '.
since the High School game at Dex-:
ter last season, when the boys claim-'
ed they were not given a, square deal.
"Well, let's see them fight it out. i
An admirable feature of the game-?;
last  Thursday  night  was  the  clean- '-,
ness pf play by members of both of
our teams, a feature  proven   by  the :
fact that "only one personal foul was
callefl on our players during the e.u- j
tire two games.   Everybody enjoys a ;
good clean game and that is what we
want. I
Through Its Health Service the American Red Cross has begun a nationwide concentrated effort in co-operation with established organizations to
reduce greatly the amount of preventable disease and physical defects found
among the country's 106,000,000 population. niucation is its most powerful
tool. Special attention Is devoted to children, and this picture shows a typical
Red Cross welfare clinic where little cues are treated and mothers instructed
in the proper care of them.
WHAT is C
w^
Credit is the power to obtain goods or service
hy giving- a promise to pay money at a specified date in the future. Let us, therefore,
understand at the very outset that after all,
credit is only as p;ood and as strong- as the
person upon whom it places the obligation to
make future payment.
THE BASIS FOR CREDIT GRANTING
Iii the granting of retail ci-smIU there arc three factors controlling the limit of credit to he granted. Character, capacity
and capital. Tlie consumer's character is most important. A
man Or woifeaii witlr -Shara-eter- will- not 'attempt to purchase-
wliat lie or she jdoep not expect to pay for at the PROPER
TI3IE.
Tlie Strength of a Retail Store Is Its Service
SEEKS BONUS FOR SERVICE JIEN
A bonus of §15 for each month in
service, with a minimum of $250 will
be sought of the next legislature for
every soldier, marine, sailor and
nurse who went to war from Michigan. The Veterans' Bonus club, with
headquarters in Detroit, plans to
have such a bill Introduced shortly
'after January.
To carry on the work for a bonus
should the legislature fail to ast, the
organization hats begun circulation
of petittions that would place the
proposal before the voters as an initiative measure for the April election.
It is proposed to issue $25,000X00
in bonds to raise a bonus fund. A
sinking fund would be established
to liquidate the bond issue in 25
years. The bonus would be administered by a commission created fcr
that purpose. Thirteen states have
adopted similar bonus measures since
the end of the war.
ONLY ONE WEEK AWAY
One week from Saturday is Christmas day. If the ground were cover.el
with snow it would require m
stretch of the imagination to bring
Christmas sp nislar. The Saline merchants have made very liberal -preparations for the holiday -season, and
await your pleasure. "We are liable
to get some isinow any day now to
start the Christmas buying campaign. Better check up your calendar and you will realize tnat it is
time to do your Christmas shopping.
Early Holiday buying inakes far
more satisfactory purchases—you
have more time, smaller crowds, larger lines to select from. Take advantage of good weather to make
your trading trips. When the holiday rush comes you can sit by the
fine and smile. Ain't it a grand, and
glorious  feelin'?
A retailer's position in his community is based upon the service
he renders. Charge acepunts are
a part of this service. The charge
account is merely a convenience
for you. It assumes that you anticipate your pu ihr.F.e.s by m t
more than thirty Lays, since this
•is thj3 usual time in which mos.
salaried pople are paid.
It is a valuable asset for you
to have charge accounts with a
number of 'retailers. The big point
is for you to give credit its proper
place and not abuse it. The entire
business and industrial world rests
on credit. The -Government, thru
the Federal Reserve Bank System,
grants credit to your banker; the
banker extends credit to the manufacturer; the manufacturer to the
retailer and the retailer to yo-u.
It is physically impossible to reduce all transactions to a cash
basis.
"Let us be frank. If you have
been taking your own time in
paying your bills hecause yoa
felt the merchant was unable or
unwilling to enforce hia terms,
lake heed. Pay your November
accounts now-—they are due.
Remember, that your credit
standing depends not on'how you
CAN pay your bills, but how
you DO pay them.
If your bills amount to mor?
than you can take care of, you
should make it your business to
see each merchant aud make a
definite arraiigemient regarding
payment at the earliest possible
time. Do this for your sake, if
for no other reason.
Pay Your Bills Promptly Mien Due
From now on you ara requtsicd to pay your accounts when
'due; between the first and tenth of month following purchase.
If you do this your account will be welcomed by all retailers.
