Sessions.
The Washtenaw Council Of Religious Education announces a change
j in the plans for the county eonven-
ition. According to the latest info*r-
r mation, the meeting is to be held at
; the Saline M. E. church on Wedneo-
' day, November 18. There will be
■ three sessions:—morning, afternoon
and evening.
Among the workers and speakers
who are to be present are Rev. E. W.
fialpenny, superintendent of the
State Council, and Miss lone Catton,-
superintendent of the State Children's division.
The executive committee voted tp
eliminate the usual registration fee.
Instead, an offering basket will be
passed. Meals -for those in attend

urday night, was a gay affair.
The children gathered at
school auditorium and saw the
movie of Jackie Coogan in "Peck'a
Bad Boy." After two or three reels
of this picture, the parade was
formed • and the children marched
around the streets and back to the
auditorium.
The costumes of the children wcrr
judged and Maurine Henderson woi.
the prize for "girls under eight years
of age, and Junior Graenwald the
prize rfor boys of .the same age. For
group 8 to 12, Luella Alber, Grover
Burgan and Max Collins were winners, and for those over 12, Laura
Belle Schroeder and Rachard Ward
were winners. The prizes were one
dollar bills.
About 110 children lined up to be
judged and it was a difficult."matter
to choose from the witches, ghosts,
pirates and many other clever costumes. Many children who were
masked and enjoyed the party did
not enter the contest for awards, so
it is hard to estimate the number
present. After seeing the remaining
reels of "Pecfc's Bad Boy" the child-
den were given peanuts and sweet
cider. Without doubt the younger
generation had the time of their
lives, and it is a safe bet than none
of them had anything to do wi'u.

; against 0 for Saline.
4^ 1 The first score came shortly after
the opening whistle, when a poor
punt by Bracey gave Manchester the
ball on Saline's 30 yard stripe. A
series of mixed plays had the locals
flabbergasted and the red steam
marched steadily down the field for
•a touchdown.
" Immediately after the score, the
Saline aggregation began to gain
confidence and played the opponents
on even terms until the end of the
half.
At    the   beginning   of    the   third
quarter the local's line went to "work \
at full steam and threw' the oppon- I
ents    for    losses   time   after   time. •
Where   the enemy found   holes for '
consistent gains in the early periods,
they hit only to lose ground.    The
Saline   linesmen   broke   through   to
the backfiteld and spoiled play after
play.    They took the ball almost as
soon as it was lost by them, but in
spite of every effort* could not gaii*
consistently.

quarter the locals began a series of

IN" MEMORY
Of    Our    Departed    Member,-    Mr*.

Who once .has .had a rxiend has .fauna,
The link 'twixt mortal and divine;
Though now she -sleeps in hallowed
.ground,
.She    lives   in   memoryls   .sacred
shrine,;
-And there she freely moves .about,
A spirit that has quit the clay;
And in the time of stress and doubv.
.Sustains   her  .friends   .throughout
the day.
.No -friend *we love can ever -die;
The outward form but disappears;
We .know that aU-our .friends are nigh
Whenever we .are moved ±0 tears.
They whisper to us in the .dark,
Kind  words  nf    counsel   and   of
•cheer,;
When hope has .flickered io a spark
We feel their .gentle spirits near-
Death floes not end our friendships
.true;
We' ail are debtors to the dead;
There, wait on everything we do
The   splendid    souls   who've  gone
ahead.
i To them, *we hold that we are bound
By double pledges to be fine.

Was Very Well Attended
high,- slow passes proved easy marks
for the Manchester backs, who picked them out of the air and succeeded in adding 14 points to their score.
It was- the same old story from beginning to end—poor interference
for the runner, poor passes, poor
punts. No matter how well a line
may play on defense, games cannot
"be won without Offensive play by a
"backfield.
