PROGRAM   IS   PREPARED
FOR  ACHIEVEMENT  DAY
County  4-H  Club  Winners  to  Compete in Variety of Events May 3.
Boys and girls who are members of
clothing, handicraft, hot lunch and
rope tying clubs will celebrate the
completion of their work Friday, May
3, when they will hold their 4-H
Achievement Day program in connection with the rural school field day
at the fair grounds, Ann Arbor.
All local champions, that is, boys
and girls chosen as the most proficient in their line of work among
members of their own clubs, will
compete at this Achievement Day
program. Their exhibits will be on
display at the fair grounds on this
day.
Arthur E. Hagen, county club
agent, has issued a final bulletin on
regulations for the gala day in order
to assist the boys and girls participating in the program. All exhibits
of 4-H club members will be in
charge of a committee headed by
Mrs. Inez Rank.
An outline of the program and
rules to be observed are given in the
bulletin, a part of which follows:
Hot lunch club leaders should
either deliver their posters, reports
and stories to the county agent's office, basement of county building, he-
fore Thursday, May 2, or take them
to the fair grounds before 8 o'clock
Friday morning-, May 3. Leaders advised not to mail the posters.
- Any boy or girl entering the 4-H
club health contest must report to
the first aid room in the administration building on the fair grounds by 9

to 15 years of age; senior girls 15 to
20 years of age; junior boys, 10 to 15
years of age; senior boys, 15 to 20

select health champions from their
club in each division, but if in their
opinion two or three individuals apparently tie for local honors they
may bring all of them in to the contest.
The winners on May 3 will compete with summer club health champions on June 15 for the honor of
representing Washtenaw county in
the health contest at Michigan State
college during Club Week in July.
All 4-H club members entering the

in infancy.
Deceased is survived by one daughter, Mrs. E. H. Elliott of Detroit, one

grandchildren, Hazel and Howard
Lamb; four sisters, Mrs. Fred Van

MILAN, APRIL 24
After losing the first game of the
season in a sloppy manner to Manchester the Saline boys finally got
back to their old brand of baseball
here today to hand Milan a 9 to 5
walloping.
Klught started the game for Saline
ahd surely showed the spectators
what he was in there for, when he
held Milan to two earned runs during
the entire game.
The other three scores were the result of a couple of misplays. Saline
mixed her runs all through the contest, one in the second, two in the
fourth, one in the "fifth, One in the
sixth and four in the seventh.
Milan scored one in the third and
four in the fourth.
During the first four innings
Klught allowed but four hits, and after Mose Folk entered the box hits
became mere memories in the minds
of the Milan fans. In the three innings he worked not one man was
credited with a safety.
Oelke struck out nine and allowed
as many hits.
Captain Carr led the Saline nine
with a double and two singles, followed by Walter Wiedmeyer with two
singles. Oelke connected for a double in the third for Milan's only extra base hit, while Estermyer and
Gross did likewise for the locals.
From all appearances the boys are
off to a good start and are ready for
Belleville tomorrow afternoon at that
place. Clayton was their star twirl-
er- last year and is back on the job
this season. However, almost the
same Saline team beat him by a score
of 17-7 last time he was encountered.
If it is at all possible, plan to be on
hand tomorrow.

"LILAC TIME" FJLM STORY
OF PRETTY STAR'S DREAMS
I     Wanted—Hay.    Carl Smith, phone-
! 26-F2, Saline. 30
Upon Reading Script of Sane Cowl's
Play, Colleen More Pronounced
It Ideal In Every Way.
"Lilac Time" is the sort of a story
that motion picture actresses' dreams
are made of, according to Colleen
Moo^e, who comes to the Liberty
theatre in the screen version of Jane
Cowl's stage triumph Saturday and
Sunday.
When Miss Moore and John McCormick, who produces her pictures, read
the play manuscript of "Lilac Time,"
they both knew instantly it -was the
story of which they had dreamed, but
hardly dared hoped to find.
Its spirit of. youth, its tenderness
and its glowing romance gripped
them as no other story had ever done,
and McCormick immediately opened
negotiations with Miss Cowl and
Jane Murfin, co-authors of the play.
The screen rights were purchased and
Willis Goldbeck assigned to adapt the
story for motion picture production,
with Carey Wilson preparing the
script."
"Lilac Time" is a George Fitzmaur-
■ice production for First National Pictures, and tells of the romance of a
little French girl and a reckless
young British war aviator. In the
opinion of critics it more than justifies the producer's judgment and the
many months spent in filming it.
Gary Cooper, hero of "Beau Sa-
breuer," "The Legion of the Condemned" and other pictures, appears in the
chief supporting role. Other players
include Burr Mcintosh, George Coop-
er,^ Cleve Moore, Kathryn McGuire,
Eugenie Besserer, Emile Chautard,
Jack Stone and Edward Dillon.

WEEK OF MAY 5-11
TO BE FOREST WEEK
A gubernatorial proclamation, issued recently by Gov. Fred W. Green,
set the week of May 5-11 as forest
week and May 10 as Arbor day in
Michigan.
•'While American forest week has
been discontinued this year, forests
and forestry are so important to
Michigan that this state cannot afford
to let the spring go by without observance of a special week of thought
and action in behalf of trees and the
restoration of our forest wealth
and attractiveness," the proclamation
said.
•'All citizens are called upon to help
in the observance of these occasions,
and are urged to resolve both to promote the forest interests of Michigan
and to use diligence in preservation
and protection of wooded areas."

The young fellows about town are
having considerable of a laugh at the
expense of one of their companions.
It seems that the young chap thought
that he was entertaining a young
lady. After supper an auto trip was
taken and when the party returned to
their starting point, the young lassie
was found to be a lad in girl's clothes,
disguised as a "sweet sixteen." Oh,
what a fall for the young gallant.—
