Legionnaires Meet at
Lincoln Park Sunday
Many Local Members with
Wives Attend the
Convention.
American Legion Auxiliary Will be
Organized in  Saline in
Short Time.
Assembling at Lincoln Park Sunday afternoon, the Second District
convention of the Michigan Department of the American Legion was
well attended by delegates from the
William B. Lutz Post of Saline.
Among the speakers in the evening
were Ralph T. O'Neill, national commander of the Legion, and Commander Shutz of the Michigan Department.
The group met at the Lafayette
school in the afternoon for the flag
raising and parade. The Lincoln
Park Post band and the high school
band played for the delegates. At
the business session Mr. DeWitt of
Jackson was elected district commander and Mr. Beagle of River
Rouge was named as vice commander.
In the evening a 'banquet was held
at the Horger school, at which Commander O'Neill talked. He stressed
the duty of the members of the Legion to the disabled war veterans
and the various members of their
families. He spoke' of the necessity
for caring for the helpless -and the
wives, widows, mothers and children
of veterans. Commander Shutz also
spoke, following- which the local post
put on a minstrel show for the entertainment of the members and
their wives and friends.
At the meeting there was some
discussion over the state convention,
.which will meet during the first*
week in July. The national convention is scheduled in Detroit for
early September. Over 125,000 Legionnaires are expected and will be
accompanied by 500 bands.
The local post of the Legion is
planning on forming an auxiliary,
according to Commander Melvin
"Ab'e" Alber. Within the next two
weeks it is planned to have the organization completed, he stated. The
group will be made up of wives of
the Legionnaires.
Those who made the trip to Lincoln Park Sunday were Mr. and
Mrs. W. D. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Don.
Burkhart, Mr. and Mrs. Ben. Uphaus, Mr. and Mrs. Max Fosdick, Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Ormsby, Mr. and

Gud Club Has New Range
On Essenburg Property
Outdoor    Season   Has    Started   for
Number of Local Gun
Enthusiasts.
Members of the Saline Gun and
Rifle club will no longer do their outdoor shooting at the range on Daniels' flats within bearing distance of
the city, for a new location has been
.secured by the club on the William
Essenburg farm, three miles southeast of town. The spot is an ideal
one for the sport of target shooting
and trap shooting, as it is at the
foot oi'a large bluff away from
farm houses and main roads.
\ At tie new range iboth rifle and
^aptgun shooting will take place. A
rifle range has been set up and the
Clay pigeon machines have been
moved down to the new location. Although no definite outdoor matches
have been arranged as yet by the
local club, undoubtedly before the
summer is over several. out of town
teams will be taken on in the rifle
events. Among the teams, which
have been challenged by the locals,
is the Detroit Postoffice outfit, which
was defeated here by the Saline club
in an indoor match.
The members of the club are still
shooting indoors, but no more indoor
matches are planned until next year.
The club took on several excellent
aggregations throughout the year
and came out on top in a number of
the contests. After they have had
a little more practice they will begjn
the outdoor shoots.

With Shower Saturday
 /
Miss Dorothy Spitler Entertained at
Home of Miss Charlotte
Kalmbach.
A delightful bridal shower was
given at the home of Miss Charlotte
Kalmbach, Saturday evening, in honor of Miss Dorothy Spitler. Fifteen
girls were present, all former schoolmates of the bride-to-be.
The house was decorated with baskets of flowers, tied with large bows
of pink, the color scheme being pink
and white.
After the guests had enjoyed a
few games of cards, the bride-to-be
took her place under a pink and
white umbrella suspended with pink
sibbons from the chandelier. From
all points of the umbrella were attached long pink and white ribbons
which were fastened to the gifts.
Miss Spitler received many lovely
ones.
Dainty refreshments were served
by the hostess.
Campfire Girls Plan Club
Rooms in Burkhart Block
Seek  Donations   of Furnishings  for
New Quarters to be Opened
in Near Future.
The Campfire Girls held an enthusiastic meeting Monday evening at
the borne of Miss Lillian Bracey.
They received their receipts for.
yearly dues and membership cards.
They are proud of the fact that they
are entering the third year of camp-
fire, work.
The money which the girls received for their production of the play,
"Poor Father," has enabled them to
start work this week on the third
floor of the Burkhart building,
which they will convert into rooms
suitable for their use. Tbe rooms
will be thoroughly cleaned and redecorated with Campfire colors,
brown, trimmed with red. A committee from the. Woman's club, who
are sponsoring this plan, consists of
Mesdames Curtiss, McCord and Swing. They will cooperate with a
committee from the Campfire group,
Jean Carleen Burkhart, Frances
Bowen, Lucile Rogers. Lucile Schmid
and Clara Bowen. The rooms will
serve as kitchen, recreation room
and lodge room. It is planned to
hold an open night, to which the
public will be invited, when the final
plans are completed.
Any citizen who would care to
help this group in furnishing any of
tbe three rooms by donating a piece
of furniture, wall ornament, rug or
bit of kitchen equipment, will find
the girls very grateful. Jean Car:
leen Burkhart will accept your contribution and you will lave the satisfaction of helping a worthy group
of girls as well as knowing that your
discarded chair, or other article, is
adding to the permanent headquarters of the local Campfire group.
A 73-year-old woman visiting relatives here, whose whom is in California, will start back this week
driving her own car. This will be
her fifth transcontinental motor trip.
What would the grandmother of an
earlier generation thought of that?

Rotarians were given instructions
about the American flag a<>the noon
meeting at The Tavern ihursday,
and most of them showed a lack of
knowledge concerning the proper use
and display of the national emblem
when they were quizzed on the subject by Dr. C. O. Woodbridge, who
acted as schoolmaster.
The members were told of the
proper manner of displaying the flag
in groups with, other flags, at half-
staff and the correct manner to hang
it when it is not, being flown. Dr.
Woodbridge started with giving a
brief history of the flag.
He told of the symbolism of the
flag as given by Washington. How
the stars are from heaven, the red
from the mother country, separating
it by white stripes, thus showing
that we have separated from ber,
and the white stripes are for liberty.
One of the common errors is draping the flag. Dr. Woodbridge stated
that the flag should always be displayed flat, whether indoors or out.
When displayed either horizontally
or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the
flag's own right, or the observer's
left. When displayed in a window it
should be arranged the same way.
When festoons, rosettes or drapings
of blue, white and red are desired,
bunting should, be used, but never
the flag, said the speaker.
When the flag is flown at half-
staff, it should be hoisted to the peak
for an instant, then lowered to half-
staff position; but before lowering
the flag for the day, it is raised again
/to the peak. On Memorial Day the
flag should be displayed at half-staff
until noon and at full staff until sunset, as the flag is the symbol of the
living nation, stated Dr. Woodbridge.
A list of "dont's" which are often
unobserved ended the talk. Among
these were: Do not permit disrespect
to be shown the flag. Do not din the
flag of the United. States to any
person or any thing. Do not <ns_
play the flag with the union down
except as a signal of distress. Do
not place any flag or pennant above
or, if on the same level, to the Tight
of the flag. Do not let the flag
touch the ground or floor or trail in
water.
Do not place any object or emblem
of any kind on or above the,, flag.
Do not use the flag as. drapery in any
form. Do not drape the flag over a
hood, top, sides or back of a vehicle
Or, a railroad train or boat. When
the flag is displayed on a motor car,
the staff should be affixed firmly to
the chassis or the radiator cap.
Do not display the flag on a float
in a parade except from a staff. Do
not use the flag for a covering for
a ceiling . Do not carry the flag flat
or horizontally. Do not use the flag
as a portion of a costume. Do hot
embricder it upon cushions or hand-
erchiefs nor print it upon paper
napkins or boxes. Do not use the
flag in any form of ^advertising nor
fasten an advertising sign to a pole
from which the flag is flying, said
the speaker in conclusion.
Visitors at the meeting were S. J.
Gier of Hillsdale, Edwin Ried, Don
Silkworth and Alex Fox of Ypsilanti.
A ladies' night program is being
planned for today in place of the
regular meeting.
