Roscoe Bonisteel of Ann Arbor

stated that, as a son, he would like
his father to possess certain attributes and, as a father, he would like
his son to have certain qualities From
the first viewpoint he would like his
father to sincerely love his mother,
love home and the associations of
home, his work and play as a
companion to the boy. As a son, he
would like his father to have a hobby
and to be a counsel to him and to respect God. From the viewpoint of a
father. Mr. Bonisteel said that he
would like his boy to (be an all-round
boy with a clean and wholesome
mind and body. He would! like him
to select good companions and have
confidence in himself. He would desire a companionship with the boy
and have him respect the opinions
of others.
Others on the list of speakers were
Lee Tescher, who spoke for the
fathers, and Erwin Schmid, who
spoke for the sons. Mr. Tescher
stressed the necessity for friendship
while Erwin told of the many adr
vantages which present day youth

a poem in honor of his father and
his grandfather.
Judge Jay G. Pray of Ann Ariboi
delivered the main address at the
Methodist church program. His
main theme was the value of character. ■ He stated that there were
■certain daily\ habits which developed
character and build it into a strong
force in life. He cited various examples of the men of history with
outstanding characters who have influenced the world. Among these
were Washington, Lincoln and Moses.
Hazen Jewell was toastmaster at the
banquet and introduced the various
speakers. The first part of the program was held in the dining room
while the main address was delivered,
in the church auditorium. Superintendent A. A. Kalder gave a toast to
the sons which was responded to by

At the Federated church program
given Tuesday evenmg, local talent
provided the program. Dr. C. E.

musical selections were put on 'by the
male chorus. Cooperation of the

on "Cooperation of Father and Son
in the Home." A. D. Crittenden for
the. fathers and Floyd Carr for the
sons had "The Cooperation of Father

Independents Beat
Manchester Outfit
Little Difficulty Had^in Defeating Quintet Here
Wednesday.
 . * - *
Saline    Topples     Manchester    from
Second Place 56 to 13; Play
Again Friday.
Completely outclassing the Manchester five, the local Independents
won at the home court Wednesday
night by a 56 to 13 score. For the
greater share of the game the Saline
quintet had little difficultyin breaking through the Manchester defense
while the out of town team found it
Difficult to get through* into the
scoring zone.
At the first of the game a series
of rough and tumble fights for the
ball was engaged in by both sides,
but after three •minutes of play
Saline aggregation calmed down and
■began a slow passing attack that
quickly ran up the score. Carr was
high point man and sank five baskets
in the first half and four more in the
second.
Considerable improvement was
shown in the form displayed by the
local- iboys over that of two weeks
ago. Passing was much more accurate and there was coordination
that makes the difference between
victory and defeat. Manchester will
be encountered again at their court
tomorrow night. The story may be
different' as they are used to their
home court and the addition of a
couple of more players who could
not be present the other night may
strengthen their lineup.
Saline's victory on Wednesday
deposes 'Manchester from second
place in the league standings and
puts Saline in its place. Deerfield is
leading the  circuit.
