Of Hotel Business
Interesting Talk Given By:
Henry Leutheuser
Thursday Noon.
Municipal  Swimming  Pool  problem
Will be Referred to the
City Attorney.
A vocational talk, "The Hotel Business, Past, Present and Future,"
was given" by Henry Leutheuses before the Rotarians at their meeting
Thursday noon. The talk proved
very interesting, due to the fact that
Mr_ Leutheuser, on arriving in Saline
was entirely unfamiliar with the-
business in which he is now engaged,
and that what he has learned about
it since, he learned through personal
experience only. He gave some very
interesting anecdotes of now, with-
very little. to work on and without
much of an idea as to how the place
could be built up he succeeded, cheif-
ly by the trial and error method in
building a clean modernized hotel of
which this city can "be very proud.
The discussion .that followed the
vocational talk was concerned principally with the municipal swimming
pool. A. question has. arisen as to
the legal depth to which a swimming
pool of its type can be nuilt. Certain
people believe that the lawful depth
is no more than 4% feet and others
are of the opinion that the builders
are allowed to dam up a stream for
such use as this so that the water.
will rise to a depth of 4% feet above
the original stream level. No one at
the meeting felt competent to aecicie
the case and it will be turned over f.
the city attorney for final decision.
The song leader for his meeting
was C. A. Curtiss who, it is said
proved efficient at the job in spite o"
a slight attack o fthat feeling that is
not at all uncommon to the most
hardened of prima donnas.
Leigh Townsend, the newly appointed county engineer-manager,
gave a short talk In which he ex •
pressed his appreciation for the appointment, and thanked the Roarians
for their good wishes
Attending guests were Ronald
Nissly and H. H. Stevens of Ypsilanti and R. D. Willoughby of Fly-
mouth.
Shook-Bernard Nuptials
Performed Saturday Noon
Couple  are  on  Honeymoon  Tour  ot
Upper Peninsula; will Make     N
Home at Bronson.
A beautiful wedding took place at
the borne of Mr. and Mrs. George
Bernard, 312 North Ann Arbor street,
Saturday at 12 o'clock noon, when
their daughter, Lorena Caroline, was
united in marriage to Earl Davia
Shook of Bronson. Rev. S. T. Dunk,
pastor of the Baptist church of Monroe, performed the ring' ceremony.
A few minutes "before noon, Miss
Luella Lambarth rendered a vocal
solo, "I Love You Truly," accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Carl Lambarth. The bridal procession entered to the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March, played by Mrs. luani-
barth. The ceremony was performed
in a pretty corner of the home, wmcn
was decorated "with green and white
streamers, gladioli, fern's and'a large
wedding white bell.'
Miss Bernard-was charming in her
wedding gown of white chiffon. She
carried a bouquet of white tea roses
tied with streamers of blue rrDoon
and forget-me-nots. The groom wore
the conventional dark suit. The
bride's brother, Ldean Bernard, acted
as best man. The bridemaid, Miss
Eva Shook, sister of the groom, wore
a pretty pink georgette crepe,
After the ceremony the guests repaired to the dining room where the
green and white color scheme was
also carried out. A three course dinner was served and a beautiful wedding cake was cut by the bride.
The bride is a graduate of Saline
high school and has her life certificate and one year special education
work from Michigan State Normal
college at Ypsilanti. She is also a
member of Lamba Tau Sigma sorority. She taught school* near Saline
and at Bronson and will teach the

Michigan State Automobile school or
Detroit* He is employed in the Chevrolet garage in Bronson.

to tour the upper peninsula and* will
be at home to their friends after
August 15 in Bronson.
Camp Miller Will Open
Sunday Evening, Aug. 9
Interesting Program Will Keep Boys
Busy During Entire Period of
Scout and Cub Camp.
The natural setting of Camp Miller
on the Saline river, surrounded by
hills, valleys, woods, and plenty of
hiking territory makes the location
ideal for a boys' camp, and the creation of lasting boyhood memories.
Ten days of fun, hikes, swimming,,
instruction, peanut and treasure
hunts, companionship, training and
camping experience is what is in
store for the boys who attend Camp
Miller this year.
The camp is assured experienced
leaders, personally interested In the
,boys of Saline and Milan, with the
return this year of leaders Abe Alber, Roy V, Chapin and Floyd Watty to Camp Miller. These men will
be assisted by a staff of associate
leaders and the best trained boys of
each troop.
The camp will open Sunday evening, August 9, with a campfire program which will be or interest to
adults as well as boys. Camp spirits
are apt to be seen around, and Wa-
kanada, the Indian chief, has promised the return of .the mysterious
fire. Wednesday night a special trip
is being planned for campers. Thursday night, August 13, will be parents' night, when parents and friends
are especially invited to arrive early
and take basket lunches, so as to
s{:ay for the special events—the annual peanut hunt and ths campfire
program in the evening.
The annual camp Court of Honor
will take place Saturday^ evening, the
closing night of the scout camp and
the opening of the cub camp. Scouts
should start preparing now to take
their advancement so as to avoid
any last minute rush while in camp
or disappointment due to unfinishea
tests at the close of camp. Boys
who do not go to camp may receive
awards at the Court of Honor by
making arrangements in advance.
Special instruction in leathercraft,
fire building, first aid, advancement,
and cooking will be offered to scout
campers. The cubs will prepare collections of leaves, stamps, insects,
and will be taught methods of fire
building along with their regular
program.
Boys who cannot attend camp for
the entire period will be welcome to
attend for single days at the rate of
60c a day, or for single meals at the
rate of 25 cents.
Whether a cub or not, boys from
9 to 12 will be permitted to attend
camp during the cub period rrorc
both- communities, and enjoy the
same privileges as cubs.
Swimming conditions will be improved this year at camp by the relocation and rebuilding of Alber
dam.
The Saline Rotary club will visit
Camp Miller on Thursday, August
13 for dinner and their weekly meeting.
RECORD POPCORN  GROWING
BEHIND     SALINE     TAVERN
"Billy Lyon Nursing Miniature Corn
Field, Expects Big Crop at
End of Season.
In the heart of the City of Saline,
"behind The Tavern, is one of the best
tended gardens in this vicinity. The
plot of about 15x30 feet is planted
to popcorn and its proud owner is
"Billy" Lyon, whose professional
title at the hostelry is, bouncer ond
general utility man, so he says.
Under the watchful and tender
care of "Billy" the little garaen nas
certainly flourished to its fullest extent, and the corn, planted from seea
that he brought from Kalamazoo,
has grown to a height of about &_
feet, is well tasseled out and, according to its owner, has ^ every indication of producing two ears for each
for each stalk.
"Billy" is very proud" of his stand
of record-breaking popcorn and if
you want to see it drop in at The
Tavern. He will be more than glad
to show it, to you and tell you all
about it.

Verification of Qualities
in His Strawberries.
Leon Vealey, local truck gardener
who in 1930 reported that he had developed a new variety of strawberry
by cross pollination of the Gloson
and Premier varieties, now reports
further successes in his horticultural
experiment.
During the last season experimenters, in a study of Mr. Vealey's strawberries, expressed a doubt as to
their ability to stand the hardships
of shipping because of the thinnesw
of their outer skins. In order to
prove their hardiness, Mr. Vealey
shipped several boxes of them on a
five-day trip on ono oi the hottest
days of June. The receiver of the
boxes reported that they arrived in
excellent condition and proved the
horticulturist's theory that his berries would "stand up" with any on
the market.
A point in particular favor of tne
"Washtenaw Strawberry," as Mr.
Vealey has named it, is the fine flavor of the berry itself. The berry is
of a more dark red color than other
varieties and the color in the center
is no lighter than on the outside. As
for its canning qualities, Mr. Vealey
states that its greater solidity makes
it easier to preserve and ' keeps the
berries spread to all parts of the container, instead of floating at the top.
The plant, too, has several features
that make it an improvement over
other varieties. Some, planted in April, already 'have as many as nve
crowns and will have approximately
ten berry stems each. For his own
satisfaction as to their sturdiness Mr.
Vealey set out some of his plants in
the kind of soil that is particularly
favorable to them and others in a
heavier soil that was somewhat unfavorable. At the end of several
months growth, however, there is but
little difference in the size of the
plants, and those placed in the heavy
soil appear to be as hardy, if., not
quite as large as the others.
The experimental station at South
Haven now has some of the Washtenaw Berry plants under supervisio-i
and Mr. Vealey is confident that he
will receive reports that will verify
his belief as to the fine qualities of
his product.
At the present time Mr. Vealey is
anxiously awaiting word from the
experiment station so that he can
make plans for the marketing of his
berry. A 1930 law gives the producer
of any fruit or grain protection under the patent and copyright laws,
and whether or not Mr. Vealey will
sell his Washtenaw Strawberry to a
horticultural company depends upon
the government report.
