MARTIN fUOSS
Another of those splendid meetings
of the local Rotary Club was held.at
The Tavern last Thursday, with an
attendance   of  approximately  100%.
The piece de resistance on* the
menu was venison, contributed by
Mark Ef Sugden, who secured the
deer in the upper peninsula.
Lee Tescher- told of his hunting
trip and of a visit to the Rotary Club
at the Spo, the district governor being among those present at the latter.
Mr. Sugden told of his experience in
getting his buck, which was accomplished just about when he had come
to the conclusion that we was going
to have to come home without any.
Henry Schroen was down for a vocational talk, and his paper was so
informative that we are printing it in
full.'

who, besides supplying the product requirements, look after
tire inflation, radiators, windshields and windows.

DIXIE Stations which appeals to the feminine .sense of attention.

"The Plumber's Service to the
Community"
The health of every community is
largely dependent upon the work of
its plumbers.
Our great cities are possible only
because of modern plumbing and sewage disposal. If their water or sewage system should fail in .operation
for a single week, thousands of people
would 'die of disease. The great
plagues that swept away millions of
people in "Europe, were caused by the
neglect of the commonest laws oi
sanitation.
Doctors and surgeons have performed near miracles yet they would
be almost helpless in combating diseases were it not for the means of
sanitation . the plumber supplies.
When the American Red Cross mission to typhoid stricken Armenia
landed there, their first message
home called for a shipload of American plumbers. They could not check
the epidemic until the plumber cams
to their aid and made sanitation possible.
In a recent survey made by the
Children's Bureau of the U. S. Government it is shown that where yraX
has to be carried into the house the
death rate of babies is 198 out of
every thousand. Where city water is
piped into the home the rate is only
117 out of every thousand. Where
there were "NO bathtubs in the home
connected with running water the
death rate is 165 out of every thousand, and where bath-tubs were installed, the rate was 72 out of every
thousand.
The first real sewerage system was
built ia Chicago in 1856. At th
time typhoid fever was a common disease, and while people knew that this
was a water- borne disease and that
it could be fought only through sanitation, it took them a long time to
realize that cleanliness was a matter
of life and death.
Recent serious iE*Ccetions in a large
Chicago hospital were traced directly
to improper installation" of plumbing.

OBITUARY
Minnie Caroline, youngest daughter
of Eduard and Louise Bode, was born
in the little namlet of Campbelltown,
Hamburg township, Michigan, December 7, 1868. A few yoars later her
parents moved to the village of Howell and there she lived until September 9,1881, when she became the wife
of Aquila R. Lee of Milan. The
young couple set up housekeeping on
the Lee farm, 3% miles out of Milan-
and lived there until 1910, when they
moved to town and Mr. Lee engaged
in the farm implement' business under
the firm name of Lee,n& Forsythe.
After closing out his business, some
years ago, the Leestmoved to the city
of Lansing-and liv'ed'•there'-until 1925,
when the family took up their residence in Saline, where Mr. Lee took
oyer the management of the Sanford
Hardware Company's branch store.
An- organic disorder that manifested its-elf early in the year and which
culminated in her- death kept Mrs.
Lee confined to her home almost continuously, but throughout her long
illness she never lost her cheerfulness
nor yielded to discouragement. In
the community there was no more
kindly or helpful neignooi- nor one
who took his or her religious and charitable duties with a more cheerful or
"active responsibility. She was, in all
things, a good wife^ a good mother
and a good citizen.
Beside the bereaved husband, fMrs.
Lee. is -survived-by .one-,"daughter, Mrs.
Thurlaw Sanford, of Milan; two children having died-'in infancy. Also a
sister, Mrs. James Sevier,.of Estaca-
da, Oregon; two brothers, Carl, of
Detroit; and Emil, of Howell. ■■)
Mrs. Lee was a charter "member of
the Milan chapter, Order of Eastern
Star, and was successively a member
of the Presbyterian churcn at Howell.
Milan and Lansing and at Saline.

Three times and out! That is what
happened to the school bonding issue.
Last Thursday the voters turned out
in full force and rang up a total of
347 votes, 196 of them being in favor
of the issue and 151 against.
We'd like to mention favorably all
those good citizens who labored so
hard and faithfully for the good of the
cause, but we do not know all of
them, and rather than slight anybody
we'll .snub them all in. this article.
Eut " "Twas a Glorious victory!"
Some enthusiastic souls staged a
celebration after the result became
known and proved so boisterous some
one sent in a call for the State Police
tc quiet them, which they did very
good naturedly.
There isn't much more that can be
said at this time. It will require a
couple of months to perfect preliminary arrangements before work can be
started on the new building.' It is
pleasant to contemplate, though, that
a handsome new building will grace
what is without doubt one of the fin
est locations in the state by the time
school opens in the fall of 1930. The
old building has well served its purpose and but few tears will be shed
at its razing.

friends in our recent sad bereavement. ,
