Saline's Orange and Black team
opened their basket-ball- season here
with the fast Dexter team Monday
cvening. The game had several
shining spots, 'showing some of the
fast basketball of past years. As the
season advneas the Orange and Black
should give the remaining teams a
hard 'run for their money to cop the
pennant. The team work was greatly
Improved over the preseason games.
Blancett and Tanner played ;a strong
defensive game holding the NDexter"
team to practically aill long shots.
Oook, Stang and Ta.ylor played their,
positions in stellar style, Taylor making several follow ,up shots under the
basket which would have been deadly
to any well organized team-. The attendance was greatly improved over
'the past games, but it could be much
bttter. Saline has' two good strong
teams. Why not shbw your colors
and come out and give them ; your
support in the waj^ ofvcheering them
'on- to. victory. "This "is- the 6riiy™sport"
that the town can really support in
major stylfe with its facilities,. so
every one. look for tho placards and
notices and turn out to support your
winning team.
The Blue Birds won their game
with The Commerce Motors of Yisi-
lanti by a score of 44 to 12.
^'Fighting Bob" Cullen was the leading point ge-tter. He. rolled them in
at will and gave a fine exhibition of
basketball shooting. The remaining
four also showed fine work and should
be given credit ,a>s to the way they
handled them on the floor.

, One bright August-morning-
About nine o'clock;
The fembers of  the Poultry Association
.   Met ait th© High, school block.
. The object, being a picnic
At Sand lake that day,
;-We thought we'd all go together
So we wouldn't lose our" way.
_WelI, finally" we got started
On our way, all in a line; _
.On the'backs of the officers' cars
Was fastened a brand new sign,
-•"The Saline Poultry Association,"
-   In letters large and bright,
jWas written very plainly
jOna sheet of snowy white.
"By the time thah we arrived
v It was getting .nearly noon;
'One lady said, "I iam hungry,
"Let's eat our dinner soon."
So we quickly arranged the tables,
And the ladies .unpacked the -food;
r The .men made the lemonade,
And they sanely were in the mood.
The way they squeezed the lemons,
Added water, sugar and ice,
Then tasted and tasted
To be sure it was flavored nice.
Soon we all were seated,
The number was fifty-four,
A bettor picnic dinner
We had never eaten before.
All at once we noticed
The sun had disappeared,
A rain sfcoi-mi was coming
Which everyone feared,
So we got the .crowd together
To take a picture of them all;
i A;fter a little coaxing
!    Nearly everyone obeyed the call.
We found one dissatisfaction
As we started to go,
One lady was Ifeeling badly
'Cause she hadn't stood in the front
row.
Now the dinner was over
Some of the ypxxnfj folks wanted to
swim,
When the older ones heard of it
They thought it ws .a sin.
But away to the bath house we started
And put our bathing suits on at last;
By the timie we got in the water
'** The rain was coming fast.
Well, we didn't mind the weather,
What would be the use to cry?
We   expeote'd  to   get  wet  when   we
started,
Did you ever see one swim and keep
dry?
Some one said "It's time to go home;"
Soon many were out of Sight
The rooster's suit didn't fit *
So we didn't have the cock fight.
The prizes were yet in the box—
Couldn't have contests in the rain,
Still we had .a "dandy" time;
Hope next year we -can go back
again.
Michael  Zahn, .the  oldest   of  our
citizens,   was  born in Wurtemberg,
Germany, August 29, 1835 and is one
of ,a Family of eight children.    Only
;two sisters besides  our subject  snr-
" vive,   Mrs.    John 'Haab    of  Webster-
! township,   and  Mrs.  Jacob  Sehieb  of
'Ann Arbor township.
j    In 1853 the. whole family came to
this "country and settled on a fanm in
j Freedom    township.     After    several
: changes  they  came to the farm  in
'. Saline township now occupied by. liis
'son, Tom, where Mr. Zalin remained
i until he and his daughter, Miss Clara,
j came into the village for a home in
' 1909. '    *
- The voyage of the famiily    across
thc Atlantic was made in a sail boat,
which because of a cal mi sea much 61
the time,  made the trip a long and
tedious   'one.   They   were    fifty-nine
days on the water  and" the last ten
days   found  them   out  of  provisions
except rice and potatoes.
On April 15, 1862 Mr. Zahn was
united in marriage with Miss Anna
Doolker and to them four children
were born, John, Thomas, Clara, and
Anna, who died when quite young.
Mr. Zahn is a charter member of
the    Eyangolical_  Lutheran,   church,-
whieh was organized    in the    early
, seventies. .
! For a man of a little more than
, 90 years, Mr. Zahn has been blessed
..with remarkable health and at this
I time one would not take him to be
more than 75. JEiis daily walk in
;life is exceptionally active, and his
: suppleness evidences, more lift and
j energy than the majority who are
' many 3*ears his junior.

! ANNUAL BANQUET
! The annual banquet of the .Saline
Farmers' club was held at the Federated church Saturday, January ,9.
Former members were—present from
Detroit, Ann Arbor and Macon.
At one o'clock the ladies of the
Fedierated .church served a delicious
two* course dinner.
r " Owing to the fact that*a number
on the program* were .unable to be
present we were very .much disappointed in not being able to hear
from them.
. The afternoon was spent in* a very
pleasant social : way. Many very-
pleasant and interesting remini<soam-
ces were given by past" club members.
1 At 4 o'clock the club adjourned to
meet with Mr. and Mrs". Frank Hiauk,
February 13.
