Rotary
Heah'Kalder i^MtvmSci^
Saline is to have another progressive meat market with the addition
.of the business establishment of Clarence E. Haarer, formerly of Manchester and Teeumseh, to the list of
the retail' merchants serving the people of Saline and vicinity.
Mr. Haarer recently purchased the
Fred Layher market and has made
extensive alterations in the store and
equipment and will opin for business
the first time Saturday morning with
a complete r'stock of meats, included
in the list of alterations made during
the past two weeks on the building
and equipment is a new front. The
old; one was entirely torn out and an
entrance put in leading upstairs and
another entrance leading into the
store.
• A modern plate glass window with
a large display space was also installed. The front of the old Henne
building is hardly, recognizable'--since
the alterations have-been completed'.
New concrete steps were also built
leading to the front door.
A new counter with heavy plate
glass windows and electric refrigeration has been added to the market
equipment as well as all new meat
machinery and the latest and most
modern tools.
All of the interior fixtures have
replaced! With new ones and the walls
and ceilings have been painted and
redecorated both in the front and
back rooms. The upstairs apartment
over the store that was formerly occupied by the Layhers has been remodeled and an" entrance from the
front of the: store put in. Mr. Haarer
will occupy the apartment when the
"alterations are completed.
The market will carry home cured
and home killed meat and will- do
their own meat grinding. The line
will toe complete, carrying all kinds
of meats, fish, and pointry, says Mr.
Haarer.

Saline Seconds Defeat
Milan Tuesday 6 To 0
Good   Defensive   Ball   Displayed   In
First of Second Team
Contests. p
The Saline second team showed to
good advantage here Tuesday of last
week in defeating Milan by the score
Of 8-0. Both teams played good defensive ball.
Saline scored in rather an unusual
manner in the second quarter. Salme
punted from Milan's 30 yard line and
the Milan safety man received the
ball behind, his own goal line but
dropped it and Niethammer, rushing
madly in, fell like a plummet on the
pigskin, scoring a touchdown for Salme. Harwood attempted a point by
goal but failed. There was no further
scoring until the last period when a
Milan back received the pass from
center behind his own goal line and
attempting to run was tackled behind
his own line by Harwood. This resulted in a safety for -Saline, making
the score 8-0.
Hunt, as quarterbackjior Saline
showed fair judgment' in calling
plays. Art Wiedmayer was appointed acting captain. L. Bracey and A.
Westphal punted very well for Saline.
Milan's punting was well done and
their passing was a constant threat.
They also tried a few hidden-ball
plays which showed for good gains
Only the Saline lineup is available.

DOG OWNING PROFITABLE
PURSUIT  COUNTY FINDS
Washtenaw county dog lovers paid
$14,252.59 during .the past year for
the privilege of being the proud possessor of a canine'friend, it was disclosed in 'the .report prepared by the
county board of auditors to present
to' the board of supervisors at their
meeting this week.
Dog owners have been a profitable
adjunct to the county treasury, for
there is a balance of $16,530.30 in
! the dog fund at the present time.
County officials are urging people to
have dogs for there is no easier way
to swell the county funds.
Sheep claims of over $6,000 have
been paid during the past year, the
records show, while .much smaller
claims were paid on various fowl,
hogs, and cows-.
Rotary members "were told of the
transition to mod,ern education methods and the effect of finances on
the curriculm of the Saline school by
Superintendent A, A. Kalder at the
regular noon meeting of the organization on Thursday at: the Tavern.
"The new school building is very
well planned and, is arranged for* the
most "economical operation and con-,
struction of any' that I have come
across in many years of teaching,"
commented Mr. Kalder in speaking of
the part played in the planning of the
school by former Superintendent T.
S. Nurnberger. "This is my -fourth
experience in building a school and
this is the best planned of any of
them and Mr. Nurnberger is responsible for it."
Mr.. Kalder -then went on to explain the old method of training for
life occupations and that now pursued by training jschools, public
schools and other institutions
throughout the country.
"The present is a time of training
by education rather than by apprenticeship,"-he said. "In all manner of trades the student no longer
goes to the master and learns'by precept and example, but* takes a coursf
in some recognized institution of the
craft for which he is preparing himself. Barbers, bricklayers, machinists,
patternmakers, printers and innumerable others trades have schools
of their own where ^knowledge'may
be acquired and they come out fairly proficient in the trade.
"This trend is plainly evident in
larger cities," continued Mr. Kalder.
"Chicago has over 500 occupational
schools outside of, the public and
private institutions'*' maintained by
the great corporations. Cass Technical high school in Detroit runs from
7:30 in the morning until 10:45_ at
night with 16,000" 'students passing
trough its doors every day, most of
whom are learning some trade or
seeking occupational training or
some sort .
"The lack of trade schools in Saline
puts up to the public the matter of
vocational training," went on Mr.
Kalder. "Occupational courses in
the schools cost money and it-is a
question whether the people of
Saline wish to pay the price. Facilities for courses in agriculture, home
economics, art, and gymnasium cost
money to install and: operate. That
finances affect the curriculum is inevitable.
"A certain amount of publicity is
necessary to let the public know
what the schools are attempting to
do," continued the Superintendent.
"The schools are only effective .when
they have the confidence Of the citizenry and that confidence is only
gained when the public is informed
of the activities of and working with
the school administration. *
"For that reason it is my wish that
each .one of you gentlemen would
inform the school board through its
members whether you are in favor of
spending the money now and having
these courses Installed that do play
so vital a part in the development of
those going to school. It must be
borne in mind that everything that
goes into the school this year is not
paid out of this year's taxes. Interest has to be paid during this year,
but none of the bonds have to be
paid off until after two years, when
the first will fall due." *
Mr. Kalder then went into the cost
of the proposed agricultural course
and several other items about which
there is some question at the present
time. The agricultural course would
come to around $3,000 to install,
while curtains for the stage would
come to around $1,100. These items
have not been provided for in equipping the building.
A novel feature of the meeting was
the rendering by Dr. J. B. Wallace of
a song, the words**of which he wrote
himself, in response to that known
edict each must make a few remarks,
sing a song, or do something else a
little out of the .ordinary when one's
birthday rolls around. The song follows:
HOW DO YOU DO
How do you do, Rotary Fans, How
do you do,
How do you do, Rotary Fans, How
do you do;
How are Lee and Fred and Hank,
From the shop or store-or bank,
And every fellow in our ranks,
How do you do.
How do you do. How do you do, "
How  do  you  doodle,   doodle,  doodle
'  doodle do.   / -
We will make the club succeed,
In good service *5**e will lead,
And we'll show the town some speed,.
How do you do.
Petitions are now being .circulated
in the village in an effort to make
Saline a fifth class city. Village Attorney Roscoe Bonisteel has drawn
np the documents and they are now
in the hands of several voters in the
village" who are circulating them.-
The petition reads "To the Saline
Village Council: We, the undersigned, qualified electors residing in the
Village of Saline, and the said Village of Saline having less than two
thousand inhabitants, do hereby" respectfully request and petition your
honorable body to take the necessary
steps to incorporate the said Village
of-Saline as a city of the fifth class
as provided by the laws of the State
of Michigan and that the territory
to be thus incorporated be the present territorial limits of said Village
of Saline and more particularly ^described as follows:" A formal description of the limits of the village
Is then given.
.'*- Only 25 names are necessary under
the state law before tlie petition can
be presenttd to the council but Mayor Mark Sugden has three circulat-
*ors at work and provisions have been
made for placing 200 signatures on
the petitions in order to .get a complete concensus of opinion on the
matter and to play safe, as the old
state law required that number. Only those who are-qualified voters in
village elections are eligible to sign
the petitions.
•"-.After the 200 names have been put
on the list, the petition, is presented
to the village council and they take
action by calling a special election
for a vote on the matter. The whole
process of drawing! up a charter and
having it ratified! by the voters will
probably take at least ten months, if
the proposition carries.

One more little drama pointing out
the 'moral that a justice of the peace
must not only be acquainted with the
law, but an amateur pawnbroker,
was played here last week in the
court held in the home of Justice of
the Peace Andrew J. Warren.
; An offender was brought in by
Traffic Officer Jahr for running the
red light. The individual whose case
was before the court was quite vehement about his innocence, but the
court fined him and he was ordered
to pay. After a futile search through
his pockets, he asked for a day or
two of grace. The court could not
allow it, however, for he was a long
way from home. The only alternative was the county jail, but the offender was very much, opposed to a
rest in the hoosegow.
"Take this ring for security," he
pleaded and took a perfectly good
five-and-ten cent store ring from his
finger. The judge examined the ring
and shook his head sadly. The offender argued as to the value of the
piece of jewelry, but the judge was
well..enough acquainted with articles-
of the kind to see the cheapness of it
"id like to leave this wrist watch,"
said the offender, "but it belongs to
my brother."
"Too bad," murmured the court
"Take him to Ann Arbor, Officer
Jahr."
"But I don't want to go to Ann
Arbor! Here, take the watch. I'll
be back tomorrow and pay the fine."
And the door slammed.
COUPE WRECKED IN FOG
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING
A Ford coupe was badly damaged
and a. woman knocked unconscious
in an accident early Friday morning
on US-112 five miles -vyest of town.
The coupe was approaching- a Chicago Couch Company truck coming
from the opposite didection and skidded on the wet pavement and landed
broadside on the front of. the front
end of the truck. Visibility was bad
because of the intense fog.
Harold Salvery of Detroit drove
the coupe and his wife was rendered
unconscious, but was not seriously
hurt. She was taken'to the Tavern
after the accident. The' coupe was
severely wrecked. The side of the
body was smashed in and the imprint
of the bumper, of the truck could be
plainly seen, even the bolt heads
left their impression in the side of
the machine.
Every week there are Dargains advertised in the Liner column.
