j By the time this paper reaches its
! readers, most of them will^have seen
. the first show and will know how
; they liked the choice of a serial and
film feature. The committee hope
'that they will Hear frojjafjpeople wno
'j like tKe"films,'-also from?those who
do not like the type of show whicn
has been selected. In general, tne
•films are selected only two weeKj
ahead, so if people do not like tns
shows and will notify any member or
the committee or any merchant, an
effort will be made to bring- shows
here which wilil please a greater
number.
i On June 29, the second episode or
Son of Tarzan will be shown, carry-
; ing Lord Greystoke's son farther in
•his adventures in the jungle witn
! wild beasts and wilder men. "While,
! ofi coutse, this film is one of the
' rankest of, impossibilities, it has won
'_ many readers as a novel, and many
i admirers 'as a silent film.
j The feature this week will be raa-
j ically different from the first feature
picture. In the picture Braveheart,
.Bod LaRoque, gives a glowing po:-
! trayal of a young- Indian as a hunter,
' as a college football player, a. successful lawyer, the savior of his
; tribe, and later, the hero who defeats
his Indian rival in a terrific hand-to-
hand.' fight. ,, The football game,
which Braveheart wins almost single-
handed; is one of the best ever done
in pictures. Five reels of thrills of
' all sorts, with the hero winning in
i the end as usual. Be sure to see it.
j While ebt plans as outlined by the
" community service committee are
not yet officially adopted by the club,
it may be of interest to the general
! public to know what the committee
' recommended for next year's pro-
- gram at the last meeting.
! The committeeman who presented
j the report spoke briefly concerning
• the need for unity in public senti-
' ment, in public action, and in private
' speaking, pointing his talk with an
actual illustration of two rival cities
in a neighboring county, one or
which' h'as a fine—bunch ,of pull-
together business men, the other one "
of those all-too-common factioaally
' governed towns. The first town has '
, made an excellent record in almost '
' every line during the last year, thr;
other has both its_ banks closed and
no prospect of reopening them in the
near future;-further instances might
be' multiplied almost at will, since
i their proximity to .each other makeb
everything done in: one town very
' quickly known in the other. '
j Following, this, he asked the club
to widen the field of their proposed
, Rotary picnic, July 28, and endeavor }
to make it a Saline picnic with business places closed, sports, ball games,
"races, eats, picture show, all free to
the pubic of Saline and surrounding
. territory. To all appearances, the
idea made a hit. Be also reminded
! the club that they started a swim-
' ming pool last summer,- and asked
I that it be taken up again from a lit-'
i tie different angle this year. This_
! met with universal approval and a
' committee investigated*, immediately
' after the luncheon, planning for a re-
j newal of the swimming-pool idea.
j The third idea presented was a '
| sanction of .the "bee'' idea for the
j completion of - the grading of the
school yard and seeding the satoie.
I This also provoked some favorable
j comment. ,
| To recapitulate, the whole idea is to
'■ do as much with true community
' spirit this summer as possible with
as small an outlay of- money as pos->
r sible. •.'"■'-
*UM)TTT0N4T. LOCAL
'All Michigan crops reported on
June 1 were above average condition,
according to reports received from'
correspondents of "the Michigan Cooperative Crop Reporting Service.
Wheat and rye were practically all in
head throughout southern and central Michigan at the time of report,
stands were mostly good, and growth
was i generally heavy.; ; Some?- local
damage was caused by fields being
flooded by heavy rains in May. Oats
and barley were making good growth
although some fields were yellowed
by cold and wet weather. Corn, bean
and potato planting made good progress in the beginning but rainh stopped the work and, have greatly retarded its complelion. Some of the
early plantings had to be reseeded.
Hay and pastures made a marked recovery from, the low condition at the
beginning of May. Fruit prospects
remain fairly gopd, although considerable damage from freezing weather
occurred around' the 1st of May.
Sour cherries "were seriously injured
in southwestern counties, and to a
lesser extent in the central . and
northern portions of the west Michigan fruit belt.
While the winter wheat crop-of the
United States is estimated at only
410,669,000 bushels as compared
with 787,465,000 jjushels harvested in
1931, the condition in the northern
states east of the Mississippi river is
fairly -gooi and*Michigan is expected
to show a producton of 14,511,000
bushels. The condition in the hard
winter wheat belt west of the Missis-
sipi showed a further decline during
May. In addition? to a heavy acreage
abandonment, Hessian fly and various diseases arefmaking serious inroads on the remaining stand. The
average condition for" the entire
country is 64.7 per cent as compared
with 84,3 last yfear. The Michigan
condition is the same as one year
ago, 90 per cent.
The condition of other Michigan
crops is as follows:, Oats, 83 per
cent; barley, 83; rye, 86; and hay, 82
per cent. All of'these are from one
to three poihts: above the ten-year
average.- Pasttu>%s were reported at
87 per cent as coinpared with 65 per
cent one month ago, 76 per cent one
year ago, and 83J? per' cent the ten-
year average. - ;'
Apples were reported a,t 62 per
cent of normal. This is 21 points below last year's ,^*%idition on the cor-
respondiril^date^rid'SriinevpQints under the ten-year average,"" The prospective decrease from last- year appears to be chiefly- in winter lVarie-
ties. The Baldwin, a leading variety,
set very poorly. The condition of the
United States apple, crop is 58.5 per
cent as compared with 75.7 on June
1 last year.
The peach crop of- the' United
States also is much below that of
last-year, the condition being reported as 51.7 per cent as compared with
78.6 per cent -in 1931. The crop is
estimated at 48,927,000 bushels,
whereas last year the production -
amounted to 77,743,000 bushels. Ths
crop was heavily damaged by spring
freezes in the southern states and it
is probable that northern t marrkets
will,receive a much smaller supply
from that source than usual. This
should afford Michigan growers a
better outlet than in other recent
years.
The condition of Michigan cherries
was reported at 66 per cent of normal, ranging from about 80 per cent
in the Grand Traverse- region down
to 40 per cent in the extreme southwestern, counties where freezing
weather occurred on several days
around the blooming period: The
condition .of 76 per cent as compared
with 60 per cent last year on* the
same date.

1 Probably not every person is aware
' of the desire implanted in the bosom
\ Of -every young American to _ "Go
; s.wimmin' " on a hot summer day,
I but most of -us have been made awar-
I of%it in the past.
| Last summer a grojap.-atTmen^riea
: to accommodate this desife**byr?pi\,-""
j viding a place in our own munici..
| tourist park. A bee was arranged, a.
| dam was partially taken care of ana
a good-sized pool was arranged under
the big elm at ..the south end o; xli<-
camp. Literally hundreds of youngsters made use of the pool during its
brief life-for, .alas, the amateur dam
builders didn't succeed in. holding
back the impounded waters of tn.
Saline river very long. However, it
held long enough tovmake certain
that the youngsters would use it if it
was properly constructed, so this
year, the work is being divided up a
bit, 'and another attempt''will again
be made to provide a permanent dam
which shall make possible a, goou-
sized lagoon, which in turn will enhance the scenery at the park as wen
as making possible a bathing place
and a skating pond in winter.
\To that end, the Boy Scouts will
head a group of youngsters who win
attempt next Friday afternoon to
clean up the bed of the river by pull-
ing.^out all the old logs, sticks, stones,
broken glass, tin cans, etc., which ate
now so plentiful in the river. All
boys who are not scouts are invitea
to meet at the park Friday, at 1:30
p. m., to bring a picnic supper, as
well as a bathing suit or old clothes
to wear in the water, and a garden
rake if possible. Two or three hours
will be spent in cleaning up the river
bottom, sports and races will take
up another hour, and supper will d
called at 5:45 sharp. The scouts will
each have at least one article to be
cooked over their camp or cooking
fire'. If 'other boys wish to participate in this, they are urged to confer
with one of the senior scouts, in order
that they may have proper articles
ready. Scouts will assist them it
i necessary in getting "their "grub"
i cooked.
I At a little later date, a dozen mem
(Will place the timber foundations for
i the dam, probably early next weeK,
i then a bee will be set and an ear.ne~'
j: effort made to cover the whole struc-
I ture with .sufficient earth1 to, hold it

Wedding Wednesday
Ceremony Performed*at the Salem
Church in Francisco; Will
Live in Ann Arbor.
Mr. and iMrs. Edward J. Muir announce the marriage of their daugn-
ter, Louise Belle, to Vernon Allmen-
dinger of Ann Arbor.
The ceremony took place at 9
o'clock Wednesday evening at the
Francisco, Salem Methodist church
and was solemnized by Rev. Henry
Lenz in the presence of the immediate families.
■Ehe sbrlde' was beautifully gownea'
in -white satin and' net and carried a
bouquet of white and pink roses ana

marriage by her father.
Following the ceremony a wedding
lunch was served at the Allmending-
er summer home at Crook'ed lake.
The table was very dainty in its decorations of pink and white and the

j In the existing depression, it be
hooves us to make sure that piir

loss to understand how anyone, can
better use their time and 'efforts than
I to do this, and he sees no better open-
i ing for young America's excess en-
| ergy than to go swimming. It is a
! thing which no child should attain X!
manhood or -womanhood without pos
sessing* and children can get this art
! without costing them anything at all
in the way of money to themselves or
.their" parents. A little effort here and

The committee hope 'that they will Hear frojjafjpeople wno 'j like tKe"films,'-also from?those who do not like the type of show whicn has been selected. In general, tne •films are selected only two weeKj ahead, so if people do not like tns shows and will notify any member or the committee or any merchant, an effort will be made to bring- shows here which wilil please a greater number. i On June 29, the second episode or Son of Tarzan will be shown, carry- ; ing Lord Greystoke's son farther in •his adventures in the jungle witn ! wild beasts and wilder men. "While, ! ofi coutse, this film is one of the ' rankest of, impossibilities, it has won '_ many readers as a novel, and many i admirers 'as a silent film. j The feature this week will be raa- j ically different from the first feature picture. In the picture Braveheart, .Bod LaRoque, gives a glowing po:- ! trayal of a young- Indian as a hunter, ' as a college football player, a. successful lawyer, the savior of his ; tribe, and later, the hero who defeats his Indian rival in a terrific hand-to- hand.' fight. ,, The football game, which Braveheart wins almost single- handed; is one of the best ever done in pictures. Five reels of thrills of ' all sorts, with the hero winning in i the end as usual. Be sure to see it. j While ebt plans as outlined by the " community service committee are not yet officially adopted by the club, it may be of interest to the general ! public to know what the committee ' recommended for next year's pro- - gram at the last meeting. ! The committeeman who presented j the report spoke briefly concerning • the need for unity in public senti- ' ment, in public action, and in private ' speaking, pointing his talk with an actual illustration of two rival cities in a neighboring county, one or which' h'as a fine—bunch ,of pull- together business men, the other one " of those all-too-common factioaally ' governed towns. The first town has ' , made an excellent record in almost ' ' every line during the last year, thr; other has both its_ banks closed and no prospect of reopening them in the near future;-further instances might be' multiplied almost at will, since i their proximity to .each other makeb everything done in: one town very ' quickly known in the other. ' j Following, this, he asked the club to widen the field of their proposed , Rotary picnic, July 28, and endeavor } to make it a Saline picnic with business places closed, sports, ball games, "races, eats, picture show, all free to the pubic of Saline and surrounding . territory. To all appearances, the idea made a hit. Be also reminded ! the club that they started a swim- ' ming pool last summer,- and asked I that it be taken up again from a lit-' i tie different angle this year. This_ ! met with universal approval and a ' committee investigated*, immediately ' after the luncheon, planning for a re- j newal of the swimming-pool idea. j The third idea presented was a ' sanction of .the "bee'' idea for the j completion of - the grading of the school yard and seeding the satoie. I This also provoked some favorable j comment. , To recapitulate, the whole idea is to '■ do as much with true community ' spirit this summer as possible with as small an outlay of- money as pos-> r sible. •.'"■'- *UM)TTT0N4T. LOCAL 'All Michigan crops reported on June 1 were above average condition, according to reports received from' correspondents of "the Michigan Cooperative Crop Reporting Service. Wheat and rye were practically all in head throughout southern and central Michigan at the time of report, stands were mostly good, and growth was i generally heavy.; ; Some?- local damage was caused by fields being flooded by heavy rains in May. Oats and barley were making good growth although some fields were yellowed by cold and wet weather. Corn, bean and potato planting made good progress in the beginning but rainh stopped the work and, have greatly retarded its complelion. Some of the early plantings had to be reseeded. Hay and pastures made a marked recovery from, the low condition at the beginning of May. Fruit prospects remain fairly gopd, although considerable damage from freezing weather occurred around' the 1st of May. Sour cherries "were seriously injured in southwestern counties, and to a lesser extent in the central . and northern portions of the west Michigan fruit belt. While the winter wheat crop-of the United States is estimated at only 410,669,000 bushels as compared with 787,465,000 jjushels harvested in 1931, the condition in the northern states east of the Mississippi river is fairly -gooi and*Michigan is expected to show a producton of 14,511,000 bushels. The condition in the hard winter wheat belt west of the Missis- sipi showed a further decline during May. In addition? to a heavy acreage abandonment, Hessian fly and various diseases arefmaking serious inroads on the remaining stand. The average condition for" the entire country is 64.7 per cent as compared with 84,3 last yfear. The Michigan condition is the same as one year ago, 90 per cent. The condition of other Michigan crops is as follows:, Oats, 83 per cent; barley, 83; rye, 86; and hay, 82 per cent. All of'these are from one to three poihts: above the ten-year average.- Pasttu>%s were reported at 87 per cent as coinpared with 65 per cent one month ago, 76 per cent one year ago, and 83J? per' cent the ten- year average. - ;' Apples were reported a,t 62 per cent of normal. This is 21 points below last year's ,^*%idition on the cor- respondiril^date^rid'SriinevpQints under the ten-year average"" The prospective decrease from last- year appears to be chiefly- in winter lVarie- ties. The Baldwin, a leading variety, set very poorly. The condition of the United States apple, crop is 58.5 per cent as compared with 75.7 on June 1 last year. The peach crop of- the' United States also is much below that of last-year, the condition being reported as 51.7 per cent as compared with 78.6 per cent -in 1931. The crop is estimated at 48,927,000 bushels, whereas last year the production - amounted to 77,743,000 bushels. Ths crop was heavily damaged by spring freezes in the southern states and it is probable that northern t marrkets will,receive a much smaller supply from that source than usual. This should afford Michigan growers a better outlet than in other recent years. The condition of Michigan cherries was reported at 66 per cent of normal, ranging from about 80 per cent in the Grand Traverse- region down to 40 per cent in the extreme southwestern, counties where freezing weather occurred on several days around the blooming period: The condition .of 76 per cent as compared with 60 per cent last year on* the same date. i i I . " ■ Outline of Progressive Program Dis- j cussed last Thursday; Bees ! Will Be Held Soon. 1 Probably not every person is aware ' of the desire implanted in the bosom \ Of -every young American to _ "Go ; s.wimmin' " on a hot summer day, I but most of -us have been made awar- I of%it in the past. Last summer a grojap.-atTmen^riea : to accommodate this desife**byr?pi\,-"" j viding a place in our own munici.. tourist park. A bee was arranged, a. dam was partially taken care of ana a good-sized pool was arranged under the big elm at ..the south end o; xli<- camp. Literally hundreds of youngsters made use of the pool during its brief life-for, .alas, the amateur dam builders didn't succeed in. holding back the impounded waters of tn. Saline river very long. However, it held long enough tovmake certain that the youngsters would use it if it was properly constructed, so this year, the work is being divided up a bit, 'and another attempt''will again be made to provide a permanent dam which shall make possible a, goou- sized lagoon, which in turn will enhance the scenery at the park as wen as making possible a bathing place and a skating pond in winter. \To that end, the Boy Scouts will head a group of youngsters who win attempt next Friday afternoon to clean up the bed of the river by pull- ing.^out all the old logs, sticks, stones, broken glass, tin cans, etc., which ate now so plentiful in the river. All boys who are not scouts are invitea to meet at the park Friday, at 1:30 p. m., to bring a picnic supper, as well as a bathing suit or old clothes to wear in the water, and a garden rake if possible. Two or three hours will be spent in cleaning up the river bottom, sports and races will take up another hour, and supper will d called at 5:45 sharp. The scouts will each have at least one article to be cooked over their camp or cooking fire'. If 'other boys wish to participate in this, they are urged to confer with one of the senior scouts, in order that they may have proper articles ready. Scouts will assist them it i necessary in getting "their "grub" i cooked. I At a little later date, a dozen mem (Will place the timber foundations for i the dam, probably early next weeK, i then a bee will be set and an ear.ne~' j: effort made to cover the whole struc- I ture with .sufficient earth1 to, hold it ; all winter.

Mr. and iMrs. Edward J. Muir announce the marriage of their daugn- ter, Louise Belle, to Vernon Allmen- dinger of Ann Arbor. The ceremony took place at 9 o'clock Wednesday evening at the Francisco, Salem Methodist church and was solemnized by Rev.

She -was given away m marriage by her father. Following the ceremony a wedding lunch was served at the Allmending- er summer home at Crook'ed lake. The table was very dainty in its decorations of pink and white and the color scheme was carried out in full throughout the home. The happy couple left under h shower of rice and good wishes foi their home in Ann Arbor. Palmyra Won Game Sunday Afternoon Independents Will Take Them Here This Week End On a Good Field.

The writer is at a loss to understand how anyone, can better use their time and 'efforts than I to do this, and he sees no better open- i ing for young America's excess en- ergy than to go swimming. It is a ! thing which no child should attain X! manhood or -womanhood without pos sessing* and children can get this art ! without costing them anything at all in the way of money to themselves or .their" parents.
