City Health Officer
Closes City Schools
Member of Senior Class 111
With Infantile
Paralysis.
Pupils Ordered Not to Mingle Witn
Crowds; Classes May Start
Monday, October 12.
Neil Ernst, a member of the high
school senior class, is a member of
the football team also. Consequently he went with them to play in
Dundee Friday, when they encountered the lads from tne school on the
banks of the River Raisin.
He played but one quarter, then
complained of a headache, and" was
taken out to be replaced by another
boy. Saturday morning his headache had become so troublesome
that Dr. C. O. Wooaoridge was called. He suspected that the. cause
was infantile paralysis and took the
lad to Ann Arbor, where his diagnosis was confirmed. The preventive
serum was administered and he was
returned to his home, where he is
doing nicely.
The worst came Monday morning
when the superintendent, acting under the orders of Dr. J. B. Wallace,
health officer, sent the - other pupils
home for a week. Tney are ordered
to stay at their homes and, above all,
not to visit other towns or to mingle
with crowds. Only 18 of the* 200
high school pupils were absent when
roll was taken.
While there is little likelihood of
any serious outbreak, the health officer had no recourse under the law
but to close school. The minimum
period is seven days and the probability is that all looms will open
again next Monday, full force.
The teachers must stay in town,
unless excused by the ""health officer,
and they are doing some clerical
work—making out report cards, cataloguing the library, rearranging it,
etc. Also, the men tuachers are laying out a new football field for the
game with Clinton—our old arcli
rivals—who come here for the open|
ing game of the home series oil
Thursday, October 15. All homej
games will be played qn the field di*
rectly back of George Bernard's
home on.North Ann Arbor street.
Dundee Defeated Saline
6 to 0 Friday Afternoon
Inexperience     Greatest     Factor     In
Downfall of the High School
Eleven.
Lack of experience was the strongest factor in the defeat of the Saline
High school football team at Dundee
Friday afternoon. The final score of
the game was Dundee 6, Saline 0, but
the fact that the local eleven were
scored upon and failed to gain a tally
was due to lack of experienced field
generalship and inability to diagnose
weak points in the opposition.
The lone score of the game came in
the first quarter, when the Dunaeti
boys carried the ball around Saline's
weak left end and went some 30
yards to cross the goal line. An offside play by Dundee lost their chance
for the added point.
After the touchdown the Saline
line grew stronger and held their op-
opents for downs time after time.
The backfield was able to gain at will
through the right side of the Dundee
line and should have been able to get
a great many more yards than the;y
did because of their mixed line
plunging.
Next week Coach Shaw's boys have
an open date, and he hopes that by
the time of the game two weeks
away he can reorganize the eleven so
as to eliminate a great part of the
team's faults.
AN APPRECIATION
The Board of Directors of the Saline Library Association of Saline,
Michigan, take this means of expressing their profound sorrow at
the death of their beloved and highly
esteemed associate, Mrs. Kate Weiennett.    Her loss is irretrievable.
She was connected with the Library as Officer and Director from its
organization in 1900. She was its
president for fifteen years during
which time her fellow members
learned to know and appreciate her
wise counsel and business ability.
As a Board they feel it fitting that
they should pay trioute to the exemplary life, sterling qualities of
character and business ability of
their deceased associate; to express
their appreciation of the invaluable
service she gave to the Library, and
her unswerving fidelity to its interests.-
They deeply feel that in her passing, the community has lost a mest
valued and' loved christian citizen
and friend.
