LAUNCH SECOND YEAR
SOIL FERTILITY PROJECT
A POOR BEGINNING
AUGURS GOOD ENDING
Thirty-two  local   leaders  attended   Saline High Lose Two First Games of
a dinner at the Ann Arbor Y. M. C.
A Saturday noon, December 1, and
completed arrangements for ^Beginning the second year series of lessons,
J. W. Sims, soil specialist, Michigan
State college, addressed them and
discussed the soil program for the
"year.    He announced that this year
the Basketball Season.
in the four lessons given will be. 1
Tillage. 2. Crop rotation, as it applies to soil" fertility. 3. Plant food
balance.   4.    Soil types and erosion.
The first, part of each lesson will
be given over to a review of last
year's lessons. Review questions
were distributed among the leaders,
and they will be used as a basis for
review work. The first "series of
questions will be a review of the subject of lime, which was the first lesson given last year.
Leaders representing 14 of the 16
groups carrying on this worlt were*
at the meeting, and all reported that?
The High School came out on the
losing end of two basketball games
last Thursday night/.the double beating being administered by the Alumni.
The girls' game was a nip and tuck
affair until the "last quarter, but the
the subject matter "to be' discussed"troys' free-for-all-was a REAL game.
Neither side was in any way far superior to the other and the school
boys were favored ;to win, especially
after the first half.
At the half the score was 13-8 in
favor of the High School and from
all appearances' they would be ablt
to at least double tfiis during the next
half. This they did' but that is all.
The whistle hadn't \ any more than
blown announcing the signal to play
than Schmid, Austin and April all
tallied from' near the center of the
floor to forge ahead by one point. At
,tiiis time Capt. 'Estermyer was rushed   back   into   the   fracas   and the
Ruth Kidder was hostess to the
Saline group of rural teachers which
held their meeting recently at the
Wood school, of which she is the
teacher.
Following her welcome," Mrs. Mildred Robinson, assistant to the county school commissioner, took charge
of the meeting. Remedial reading
was discussed by the teachers who
exchanged ideas and devices that
they found most effective in their
own schools.
A seventh grade history demonstration lesson, concerning-one of the
■phases of history which she emphasized for the. coming month, was
taught by Mrs. Robinson.
The following teachers were present: Ruth Ekdale, Nine Wilson,
Stella Manley, Dolores . Piekarski,
Florence Wurster, Ruth Kidder,
Gladys Yakes, Melvina Alber, Anna
^Reiser, Florence Tucker, Jennie Mc-
Cormick, Bernadine Bartlett, Harriet
Martin, Helen Cardew, Sylvia Stephenson, Hazel Blaess, Una Dicks, Wilma Briggs, Gwendolyn Bell, Laura
Elliott, Blanch Manor, Helen Klumpp,
Nora Walker, Feme Mulholland and
Edith Allman.
The visitors were: Mrs. McCalla,
Mrs. Kidder, Miss Alice Seeger and
Miss Marie Sturdevant.
The next meeting will be held December 15 at the Mills school.

j    A cordial invitation is given to all.
I   -Sunday school immediately' follows
' the morning service to which pupils
| under 20 may be admitted.
the work given last year had proved i slaughter was practically stopped,
very valuable to them and to all i Hf"l was closely followed by Lambarth
members enrolled in these groups; ' since both, including C. Carr, had
that the interest in the local groups i Deen taken out at ***■*■ nalf-
increased with each, lesson. Meetings ! with the regular team again in ac-
this year were scheduled for Decern- i ti°n. Estermyer caged a close shot,
ber 4 and 5; January 16 and 17; Feb- '' followed by one by, Lambarth, to
ruary 20 and-21, and March 13 and -nearly even the eo^t:.pnc.e more,„._.
From then on it was a nip and tuck
,.t affair, one side scoring-from the field
and then the other, maybe, making
one or, two foul goals to even  the
count.
* As the, game was drawing to a
close the Alumni took time out for
Schmid and Phillips, which only
madfe it more exciting because the
battle was about on even terms and
only a short time,to go. '"When the
final whistle blew the Alumni were
leading by three points. The final
score was 29-26, in favor of the latter. '
The girls were held "by the fact
that they had several new players,
and the boys were in the same straits,
as far as that goes. Bill Carr was
playing his first real game along with
brother Floyde and Richard Cramer,
Who had never seen action on the
battle front before.
Jack Probyn, George Martin and
Howard Lamb, all from last year's
squad, were in: the game at times.
Probyn, playing center, surely proved
his worth in that place, as he had
never been stationed there before.
"From now on he will probably alternate with Bill. Lamb and Martin also proved their worth and from now
on Martin will see considerable service at running guard. '
The Alumni were in a state of decay as far as basket shooting was
concerned. Leonard Hutzel, the only
man back from, last year, was high
scorer with, four field~goals, closely
followed^ by "Al" Schmid (Saline's
all-time mythical forward) with two
field goals.
Next Friday Saline plays Milan
here.

KREISLER WILL APPEAR
IN ANN ARBOR TONIGHT
Fritz Kreisler, who will be heard
in Hill auditorium, Ann Arbor, in
the Choral Union Series, Thursday
evening, December 13, is the greatest
violinist of our time and generation.
He is, moreover, a living refutation
of the old tradition that one who is a
prodigy as a child will not' realize the
promise of his youth when he reaches
maturity, for Kreisler was distinctly
aprodigy and a very wonderful one.
Mr. Kreisler's playing has been described as uniting dazzling technic
with-highest musical qualities which
have given him the foremost place in
the world as an interpreter of the
great classical concertos.^ His style
of playing cannot, however, be described as academical. It is full of
glow and high-courage, above all intensely individual, his readings and
even his methods of fingering being quite his own. He is said to be
hardly, less accomplished as a pianist
■than as a violinist, and' is'orie of the
most remarkable figure's in the musical world.
A limited number of single admission and standing room tickets are
still available at' the University
School of Music.

PLACE CHRISTMAS SEALS
ON BACK OF ENVELOPE?
Postmaster Charles A. Jordan
gives hearty endorsement to tuberculosis Christmas seals >.nd the
health work they stand for, but warns
patrons of the mails to take care
where they place the stickers.
"Put them on the. backs, not the
fronts of letters," he says. "The use
of any other kind of label than a government postage stamp on the address side of envelopes confuses postal employees and delays the mails."
Although sale of the Christmas
seals was not begun by the Michigan Tuebrculosis Association until
the day after Thanksgiving, Mr. Jordan reports that many letters handled at this office already bear the
stamps.
The brilliant colors of the 1928
seals are *iii""harmony with *the-ap-
proaching Yule season. Blue, green,
and red predominate in the design,
which features the'"Ship of Health"
and the double-barred cross, symbol
of the crusade against tuberculosis.
