Few car owners realize that the average motor is
only 75% Power Efficient, due largely to the character
of gasoline and oil used. There's a big difference in
refining methods.
If you haven't'tried DIXIE you will be delightfully surprised with its performance. We recommend
it because of its high Power Efficiency.
Every day DIXIE Gas is being discovered by
owners who thought all gasoline was "out of the
same tank."
Use DECEE Quality and DIXIE Service and your
■car will Run Better, Go Farther, Last Longer, and
Cost Less to Operate.

lasketbal! To Start
At School This Week
Class Games Being Played
by Both Boys and
Girls.
Eight Game Schedule Drawn Up for
Winter Season Starting
December 19.
Basketball started officially in tbe
nigh sehool Monday when the class
games were begun. Practice for the
school team will not begin until next
week, according to Coach Ray Shaw.
These inter-class games are played
by both boys and girls and will give
an opportunity for the coach to get
a lineup on capabilities of variou.**
players.
The fif3t game of the season is
December 19 with Ypsilanti Central
high school. The team from tha
neighboring city has a much larger
student body to draw from so that
it is not expected that Saline wil!
make an unusual showing, but the
games later on the schedule are with
schools in Saline's .class.
Coach Shaw expects to have a
good defensive aggregation but fears
for his offense as he has no consist-
enly good shots. If he can develop
a scoring combination, Saline's opponents will have lots to fear.
There are three regulars and three
substitutes from last year about
which the team can be built. Westphal, Ernst and Gross were first
string players during the past season and will he in action again this
year. Arend, Teachout and Walter
Wiedmayer from the list of substitutes from last year's organization
will also be candidates for the quintet. Bowen is ineligible.

Or. A. G. Ruthven Requests
Cooperation For Seal Sale
.Residents of County to Receive Two
Million  Seals
Today.
Wholehearted support of the 1930
sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals
is requested by Dr. Alexander G.
Ruthven, president Of the University
of Michigan and chairman of the
State Christmas Seal Honorary
Committee, in a statement officially
designating Thanksgiving day as the
opening date for the sale.
The traditional Thanksgiving day
start for the sale, according to the
Michigan Tuberculosis Association,
will be signalized in Washtenaw
county by the sending of 2,000,000
seals to residents of the county. In
1929 Washtenaw county residents
purchased $5,038.67 worth of the
seals. This figure represents an average per person sale of 7.69 cents,
compared to 4.81 cents for the state
at large. -^
"Thanksgiving da.y" Dr. Ruth-
yen's statement reads, "marks the
beginning of the sale of Christmas
seals, by which the * campaign
against tuberculosis is financed. Tuberculosis becomes -increasingly a
problem when many are forced to do
without proper food and are subjected to other privations. Present conditions of unemployment and restricted diet prophesy a pronounced
increase in the number of tuberculosis deaths such as occurred in European countries', for example, at the
time of the World- war.
"The Christmas seal sale furnishes
the ojportunity to guard against this
threat of added -tuberculosis, with all
that it implies in costly sickness,
premature death, and bereaved families. All who can do so should purchase the seals. Not only will such
purchases help save lives now, but,
equally imipo'rtant, they will allow
institution of measures' to prevent
future deaths having their origin in
present circumstances."
Rotarians Guests Of Ann
Arbor Kiwanians Monday
Thanksgiving   Program   at   Regular
Meeting Last Thursday
at Tavern.
In place of the regular Rotary
meeting which would fall on Thanksgiving, the members were guests of
the Kiwanis club of Ann Arbor on
Monday of this week. Eight of he
local members made the trip and
heard the talk on "India" by C. F.
Andrews of London, India and other
eastern lands. Mr. Andrews was; introduced by Rev. Frederick B.
Fisher, pastor of the First Methodist
church, who was originally scheduled
to talk, but who retired in favor of
Mr. Andrews, who has had a varied
experience including friendships witL
such Indian leaders as raiandi and
Tagore.
A Thanksgiving program was
given at the meeting of last Thursday at The Tavern when Rev. C. E.
Stedman of Detroit was the main
speaker and gave a splendid Thanksgiving address. All local pastors
were invited to be guests of the Rotarians for this session. The meeting was " opened by a prayer from
Rev. S. Schofield and Rev. C. E.
Kircher delivered the benediction.
Guests' -were Rev. Schofield, Dr.
Kircher, Dr. Stedman, Arthur Helf-
rick of Ypsilanti, and Osborne Young
of Detroit.
BAD FEED BEING SOLD
TO FAR57EKS IN COUNTY
Farmers are warnoi by County
Agricultural Agent H. S. Osier to be
careful about buying stock food
from traveling salesmen. Several reports have been made to him of
farmers who have purchased this
type of food" only to find that it contained injurious matter. County
merchants handle standard stock
feed says Mr. Osier and farmers
should be careful about purchasing
other than such brands.
Climaxing the season. Saline's battle-scarred but fighting eleven went
to Manchester Thursday afternoon
to play the final game of the year
and what was for many the final
game of their girdiron career. The
final score was 12 to 0 in favor of
the boys who wear the purple.
The season record of, the local
outfit does not seem to be outstanding on the face of it for they tied
one game and1 lost the rest previous
to the Manchester encounter, but underneath -the record! there lies a
spirit that goes a long way toward
making up the deficiencies in score.
All through the season, Coach" Ray
Shaw has had from 30 to 40 men
working every night. Previous
seasons have seen the squad dwindle
down from the orginal group at,the
opening practice to a bare handfuil
at the conclusion of the. year with
not sufficient men to hold a real,
scrimmage. This year the story has
been different.
The lads have been loyal to their
institution and their coach and reported Tegularly for practice in spite
of the fact that the season has from
a win or lose point of view been a
failure.
On Thursday it was a different
story. The Saline team had the upper hand throughout. Almost the
entire game was played in Manchester territory and there is , little
doubt but that the score would have
been greater had there been someone in the Saline backfield to heave
passes and regularly and accurately.
Both of the scores were made by
the aerial route. Captain Jim Gross
made one of the tallies while E.
Westphal made the other. Both
snagged pases to run for the goal.
Captain Jim Gross played remarkably in the first game he has been
able to participate in this season.
He Was a tower of defense and
caught several passes that helped to
pave the way toward victory. At
the first of the season he was found
to have a weak back and could not
play, but the back mended sufficiently so that he could engage in the
encounter Thursday and he war
easily the outstanding star of the
game. He graduates this year so
this niakes the last game of footbaH
he will be able to play for Saline.
■According to Coach Shaw there are
a number of likely youngsters coming along from which a team may
be moulded in the future. Whether
they will be of sufficient size by next
fall to make up a sizable aggregation is a question. For the coming season he has as a nucleus Hertler and
Westjphal at end', Harwood and Coe
at center, A. Westphal and A. Marion, in the backfield. Both of the*
last were substitutes this year.
Seniors who will be lost for the
next year are Captain Gross, Lindeman, Howard, A. Wiedmayer, Arend,
Bernard, W. Wiedmayer, E. Marion
and Teachout.

Local state troopers picked up a
man with a loaded gun here Monday
afternoon. He was driving a car with
a Detroit license and the fact that he
had no spare tire, coming from that
distance, gave the clue for suspicion.
This man had $6 on his person and
had no job, the police inferring that
when the $6 were' exhausted, the gun
would be used for holding up someone for more cash. The man, who
said his name was Harvey Brown, .
was taken into custody and held in.
