New Swimming Pool
Planned by Rotarians
"Working • Bee" Will Start
Construction of Dam
on Friday.
Site   Chosen   at   Tourist   Camp   for
Temporary Municipal Pool and
Bath House.
Local Manufacturer
Given Bat Contract
Approximately  Six  Months  Will Be
Spent by Saline Concern in
Riling Order.
Plans for the construction of a
municipal swimming pool and a discussion on the Wednesday evening
screen program took up the greater
part of the time at the meeting of
the Rotary club, Thursday noon.'
July 2. 5
Work on the swimming pool,
which is to be constructed at the
site of the tourist's vamp, is to be
started Friday toy a "working bee,"
composed of Rotarians and others
who take an an interest in the project. According to Mr. Henne a temporary dam is to be built on a foundation" of poles donated by the local
telephone company. Two teams with
scrapers will clean out the river bottom so that the pool, a hundred
yards or more in length, shallow
Bnough at one end for children to
-wade and deep enough at the other
lor swimming-   may be formed.
With this temporary pool and a
small dressing room for a beginning,
Mr. Henne expressed the wish that
at some future time the interest inspired toy it might bring about the
building of a good amusement park*
with a fine, permanent pooL-
The screen night discussion was
concerned chiefly with the .type of
projection machine . It was. decided
that the screen was not large
enough, that the machine should be
set closer to the screen and that
something should be done to reduce
the amount of glare that 'the street
lights threw on the pictures. As yet
there has been no decision as to what
type of new machine will be purchased.

A large 'order for baseball bats nas
been received from Hillerich &.
Bradsby, Louisville, Ky.. better
known for their product, the Louisville Slugger, by" Thomas Shurtz,
owner of the Manchester Turning
and Handle Company of this city.
The order^ calls for six carloads ot
white ash blocks from which the Dacs
will be cut, and, it is the opinion of'
Mr. Shurtz, that there will be approximately 10,000 in a carload.
Three sizes of bats are contracted
for, .the regulation, the indoor, and
boys' bats.
Mr. Shurtz has already purchased'
several hundred white ash trees from
local wood lots and all of the timber used will be taken from locations
within trucking distance of the city
From six to eight men will be employed in carrying on the work and,
according to Mr. Shurtz, it will take
six months to fulfill the contract.
Ball Game Rained Out
In the Ninth Inning
Hard Fought Contest Ended in Tie
in Ninth; Hoeft and Beasley
Star Again.
Rain- and wet grounds Sunday af-
ternpon brought a hard fought game
between Saline and Sand- Lake to an
end in the ninth inning, with the
score tied at 2-2.
It was one of the best games of the
season, with Hoeft on the mound for
Saline and Lintz hurling for the visitors. The quality of thfe •pitching
was well matched, the Sand Lake
Inine poling out eight hits and the
home team seven. Two 'of Saline's
regular lineup were absent but in
■ spite of this handicap the boys' put
up a real battle and many of the lo-
;cal fans believe that, had it not been
for the rain, the game would have
ended favorably for Saline.
In contrast to last week's game,
.practically air-tight "ball was played,
the Saline team being chalked"" up
with two errors and the Sand Lake
outfit with the same number. Beasley. it is said, put up the best game
for the locals, 'getting three safe
drives in four times at bat and doing
some very good work in the garden.
Hoeft, too, is t© 'be commended for
his good job in holding the hard hitting Sand Lakers an check.       •    .

at 2:30 o'clock at the Dietiker funeral home, Rev. Simon Schofield
officiating. Interment was in Lodi
cemetery.
Deceased is survived by a sister,
Mrs. Flora A. Wood, of Ypsilanti; a
brother, William D. Allen, Babson
Park, Florida; two nieces and six

We are highly -pleased to receive,
from time to time, letters from old
friends who are interested in the
community and the newspaper. Here
is one that arrived the other day
from a former resident who now
lives in Nebraska-
Mr. Wilson,
Dear Sir:
Another July has rolled around
and reminds me It :is time to send
in my yearly subscription to The
Saline Observer, which I always look
forward to with keen interest for
the old home news, which I can see
to read about "as good as ever in .my
/93rd year.
I was thinking the other day and
wondering just how long I had taken
the paper. I was one of its first sub
jscribers, so maybe you could help me
out, I am sure a short history of
the paper would be of interest to
many of its old readers.
I will add that the paper was a
dollar a year wuen it first startea,
so one can see that it has not doubled or tripled in price as so many
other things have done in the course
of time.

NorthviHe Man is
Auto Crash Victim
Car   Struck   Saline   River
Bridge Early Monday^
Morning.
Sheriff's Department Was Unable t»
Identify the Body for
Several Hours,
Members of the NorthviHe Post of
the American Legion called at the
Bridges Funeral Home Monday
night, and added to the scant information concerning L. E. Chandler,
the man whose body was taken from
the wrecked car that struck the cement abutment of the West Michi-
/•-gan avenue bridge.
The accident occurred at 5:15
o'clock in the morning and before
.anyone could reach the car nothing
was left of it but the smashed and
burned framework. The ambulance
and fire department arrived on the
scene a few minutes later and the
body was removed and the fire ex
tinguished.
Tourists from the west stated that
they had passed and been passed
along the road several times during
the night bv Chandler, and that he
appeared to be a good driver but was
traveling at a fairly fast rate of
speed. The accident may have been
due to any of three causes, they believed; the driver may have been
blinded by the early morning sun, he
may have fallen asleep, or the right
front tire, which was flat after the
accident, may have blown out. At
any rate, the car struck the cement
with such force that the motor was
driven half way back to the driver's
seat and, according to 'expert opinion, the man was dead before the car
took fire.
It was riot until noon that the
sheriff's department was able to
identify the'wictim as L. E. Chandler, 31, an employee of the NorthviHe
sanatorium.
The Tx>dy is now being held at the
funeral home until further notice is
received from Virginia, where the
man's father is said to be living, or
from his wife in Detroit, or from
the NorthviHe Post of the American
Legion, where Chandler was a member. ,
At about the same time the
Chandler accident occurred, Alfred
Scott, negro, Detroit, was killed in a
■crash on US-112 near Ypsilanti. The
-car in which he was a passenger was
(driven by Robert Tyree, negro, also
of Detroit, who lost control of the
machine when one wheel left the
pavement and crashed into a tree.
Tyree was taken to Beyer's Memorial hospital, as was Beatrice Tyree,
who sustained cuts and bruises. Kod-
ert B. Jones, negro, also _ passenger,
may have sustained internal injuries
and is under observation in the Ypsilanti institution.

Scientists have found three ancient skeletons with jaws open to a
width of four inches. Maybe each
state had three Senators in those
days.
The Observer will celebrate its
fiftieth birthday anniversary next
fall, and at that time probably will
have considerable to say about the
history of not only this paper, but of
others that have been published here.
