SALINE, MICH.
Saline entertained Palmyra Sunday afternoon, dedicating the new
field- at the park by winning what
proved a very interesting game, 8 to ,
3.. The high-lights o'f one contest
were the -nipping of a batting rally !
on the p'art of the visitors when
Crittenden speared a line drive witn
his bare hand, and Kubler's three-
bagger with the bases loaded in the
third inning.
A large crowd turned out to sea
the first game on the new diamona
which, although not perfectly finisn-
ed as yet. will after a - little more
work prove to be one of the best
playing fields in the state. Locateu
as it is below a terrace, spectators
have an ideal spot on which to sit
and have a clear view of all parts or
the diamond, out of the way-of the
players. '
■Manager Wheeler is anxious that ;
the public enter the grounds through '
the gate, instead of crossing private
property to attend the games.
Otherwise, the team is apt to bs
blamed for something they cannot
help. If all Will bear this in mind it
will be appreciated very much by the
boys. ■    !
Also, the management and members of the Independents wish to ex-
press their appreciation of the assistance on the part of all who have
helped to date in fitting the playing
field.

FIVE POINT PLACE SALINE
The June meeting of the W. C. T.-
*CJ. was held at the beautiful home or
Mr. and Mrs. William Love, on the
Manchester - road. A large attendance was treated to a very fine program. The meeting was called to ,
order by.'the president Mrs. McBride.
The opening song* America, tne
Beautiful,' was- followed by the Scripture reading and exposition of the
9th ch. of St.. John's Gospel, by -Mrs.
Schofield, who .also- led in prayen
This was followed by the song, Leaa
on O King Eternah. . A short "business session was held.
Reports of departments - of work
and   national   plans were explainea.
The wall-planned program under
the leadership of Mesdames. Parsons,
Clark and Rogers, was carried out
Miss Vesta Mills presided at the
piano and gave several selections,
short, concise readings from our national organ, The Union Signal, gave
a wide view of present attitudes ot
college and professional leaders on'
the gain in moral and economic
values .in the twelve years of prohibition. Three times as many youth
are getting a college education today
than did before the 18th Amendment ;
was written in the - constitution-
" Mrs. Suedicor, our .county president, was with us and gave an inspiring address on future work ana
plans of state and national organizations. She told of the plea or
Canada's Women to hold fast our .
law, and that the conditions or
drunkenness is increasing in Canada
to an alarming extent under so-callea
government • control. Really, it is
"liquor control." Miss FitzGerald
kindly gave of her talent by contributing two violin solos, accompamea'
at the piano by her mother.
The members were urged to study
the character of candidates for office
at both primary and state elections
and not to forget to get out to vote.
The call of the National'W. C. T.-
U. for the convention. at Seattle in-
August, was also read. Among-important matters to be decided at this
convention will be the policy, during
.the coming campaign, plans for
furthering the work for law observance and the support of the ISth
Amendment. Stress , will be laid or'
the educational features of the W.-
C T. U. Arfter a highly interesting
discussion, and the singing of America, the Hostess served refreshments.
All declared the meeting very profitable and instructive.
VOCATIONAL SERVICE
History reveals, that every twenty
years we pass thrdugh*a state' of depression such asf we are. deeply concerned about no"*[. However, I believe
that at no time, have our people felt
the low tide of-our country's vitality
as we db at present, because during i
the last twenty..years our standaras
of living'have--i|Sn .raised" to such an
extent that und*fe.,the present circumstances it is impossible' to maintain
them. This; and the lack of employment and many r other causes, have
brought about one of the most serious business depressions the worla
has ever known-/ thus never before
has there been such a specific need of
vocational service in our Rotary cluo
Upon looking up the words "Vocational Service'" in the dictionary, it
seems to . me this interpretation was
most appropriate—;"A call or invita- j
tion given by God to the Christian
life for some particular service to be
performed for the benefit of another.
It seems to me that never before**
have the calls of duty to help another
come so thick and fast as during the
last two years, and-never in the history of our country has there been
such an urgent need of excellent business management., harmonious relationships between*. buyer and seller,
and above all a> .square deal to our
customers, which?-" "tends to create
good will which, after all, is one oi
the most important assets to any
business man.
General Pershing, in an article in
the American Magazine, declared that
"We are at war." .* He said that if
every American citizen would answer
the call during the country's present
need as we did back in 1917, there
would be no need of fear.
Strife within- a nation and strife
between nations.is the resuit of men
being at their worst. Our Rotary
club seeks men ih business and professional life who are heroic enough
to turn from their, worst to their b:st,
and we give a challenge to every
business and professional man in
our community to this higher heroism, for a mostxjble adventure, ana
a full measure 'of' devotion; for the
progress of a better community.
The business man-of "the future
will keep his eyes on.his profits less
and on the public more, seeking" to
satisfy human needs.. Just at present .1 believe one of the greatest
needs for all citizens of our community is an opportunity for a thorough
study from an unbiased viewpoint ot
every politician.who is seeking to be
nominated, or having- been nominated, is seeking election next fall.
The business man of today must be
service-miRded. He must realize that
"the public be damned'' is a far less
profitable motto that "the public b?
served."
The world is not yet finished.
E-ch day brings new needs to satisfy, new jobs to do, new'wealth to distribute. The inspiring task of the
business man is toiworlt with his' Copartner, the professional man, each
helping the other. All grow In stature as they reduced unemployment,
eliminate; poverty, conquer, ill-health
and extend comforts and joys of successful living. Humanized business
and science mean progress. Yesterday we said that only the fittest survive. Today in business we are seeing born a new principle—to surviv'^
serve. "He profits most who servea
best."
Canning Demonstrations
Are On Eor Next Week
One of Them is Scheduled for Sodt's
Pavilion,- Pleasant Bake, on
Thursday, July 7.
 .        CARD OF THANKS   „_"
We. wish to express jour heartfelt
thanks to the many-friends and relatives for the beautiful 'floral offerings
and to Rev. S*.' Schofield for his comforting words. • -
•Webb' E. DePuy,"
Mrs. Purnell.Ribbeck,
. M. J. DePuy,
County Agent H,<.S,iOsIer: announces, that plans have-; been "completed
for three important* canning' demonstrations to be held in the county nexr'
week. July 5, one will be held at Dixboro. church, July ■& at Sodt pavilion,
Pleasant lake, and' on July 7 at Webster; Community hall',"-These meetings'
are being sponsored by the home1 economics extension groups in Washte-"'
naw county under the supervision oi
Mr. Osier. Last year there w»re 1'
of these groups with 225 women enrolled.
Latest methods of canning vegetable." wlil be demonstrated by Miss
Muriel Pundas, and Miss Roberta
Hershey, Michigan State college extension nutrition specialists. The object of the demonstrations*is to provide' economical and practical methods which may be used* by housewives'
in preserving food forlater use. Since,
it is most difficult to preserve the
original flavor in non-acid vegetables,
special attention, will be;'given this
question.
Processing in the .pressure cooker
as an important means of decreasing ~time, and. .increasing- ' safety
through complete sterilization'will be
one of the methods "demonstrated:
Various other types of "equipment will
be discussed, and both* tin cans and
glass jars"will be used..
Valuable suggestions as to" shortcuts in .the- canning process will also
be given, such as pre-cooking of the
product.     -
Types of equipment other than the
.pressure cooker will beTused also, as
the object is to provide practical ano
economical methods for U:e average
housewife.
The "Board of Education hold thrrir
regular end-of-the-year meeting Monday night at the high school. Only
routine business was transacted, the
last bills of the.year were audited ano
allowed,, .the budget for . the coining
year was discussed, arid''the only'ou"t-
ofordinary business of the year-—tlie
fixing of tuition rates for non-resident pupils—was acted upon, when
the rate for high school pupils was
lowered to sixty dollars per year.
This was in keeping with the spirit
of the Board, who feel that it is imperative to keep the expense of
schools at the lowest" point compatible with the best service obtainable
from the schools. The Board feels
that it is a real hardship for many
farmers to send their children to nig
school, .and the ten dollars per child
which must be paid by the family or
the child is abolished by this lowering of rates. Under the state law,
the home district must pay sixty dollars per year for eighth grade graduates who coniplywith certain formalities, " and the action of our loc
Board Of Education" makes it actually as near to a free high school education as possible.
A similar action was taken several
years ago by the authorities of the
Manchester schools, this spring by
the Clinton Board, and it is predicted
at Milan, hence, it is really forcef*
upon the locals if we are to compete
with the neighboring schools on even
terms. ' S''*;"*^]
It is perhaps worthy of notice that
two members will be up for election
at the annual meeting of the district,
which occurs on Monday, July 11. at
8 p. m. in the high school auditorium.
H. A. Holmes was appointed to fll*
vacancy caused by resignation ot
Herman Gross, and Edward Henne
was elected last year to fill vacancy
caused by resignation pf Max Fosdick. Both elections will be for *»he
full term of three years. This is
practically the only business of importance to come before the meeting.
Next Week's Show
For The Tiny Tots
Felix Out of Luck Will Be One of the
"■'Attractions; Rubber Tires,
Feature Film.-
On Wednesday, July 6, the opei-.ing
film will be especially for the tiny
tots-^(and their older relatives')—
who enjoy Felix the Cat, when a
number of this popular series entitled
Felix Out of Luck will be given. Another especially amusing to children
reel will be the one titled Just Monkeys. The title is probably enough
to draw a goodly crowd.
The feature film of the evening- is'
■an amusing' comedy entitled" Rubber
Tires, a Cecil DeMille production
featuring Harrison Ford, Bessie Love
and Junior Gordon. It depicts the
stirring and amusing adventures of a
family of four in an antiquated auto,
camping frOm coast to coast and conveyed by a resourceful lover who extricates them from one harrowing experience after "another, to the intense
delight of the-audience.. The picture
is delightfully human and combines
rare comedy and intense interest witE
budding romance and sustained suspense. - Five reels of comedy drama
at its best for old and young.
The local movie' will again feature
locally known people; in both town
and country, in their everyday aspects, both at work and at play. It
will probably continue to hold a great
deal of attention from both old and
young, rsince we all like to look at
the features of those \ve know ana
respect, whether in still or in moving
pictures. Look for the Movie Man-—
he'll be around looking for you sometime soon.

First Street Movies
Hindered By Storm
School   Auditoriuini  Filled   to   Overflowing by Pleased Crowd Last
Wednesday Evening.
The first showing of free movies on
the street last week Wednesday produced an unusual and extremely trying situation for the people who do
the actual work of presenting the
films. The first reel was just nicely
•under way and the youngsters in the
crowd were beginning to get'excited
bverfthe opening scenes of the Adventures of Tarzan's Son, when old
Jupiter Pluyius started to liven up
things and get a little action off the
screen by giving a little extra precipitation. In other words it sta.rtea
to rain.
Immediately, the crowd proceeded
to get under shelter somewhere, and
the largest crowd in the history ot
the free movies was under way when
it was announced that the show
would be transferred to the high
school auditorium. Volunteer helpers proceeded to assist in transferring all the impedimenta to that
place, and—after a brief delay in
getting ready—the show got under
way and proceeded to a somewhat
tardy close. The tardiness was due
to the unusually long program, coupled up with the fact that the shower
had not been foreseen and that the
auditorium had to be gotten ready
and seated, as well as setting up the
screen. This probably made the
closing of the show about 45 minutes
to one hour later than had been
planned.
The Tarzan film was enthusiastically applauded by some of the
youngsters -for whose benefit it was
shown, and the feature film, The
Yankee Clipper, was. also enthusiastically received, but first honors for
entertaining the crowd of six hundred who packed the hall goes
without reserve to Edward Hen-
ne's first amateur movie photography. One hundred feet of
film was shown depicting familiar
people in and around Saline in their
ordinary occupations. Possibly the
most loudly applauded was the scene
where the traffic officer, "Abe" Alber,
crowded Walter Cook to the curb and
wrote him up for a traffic violation.
This feature will be continued from
time "to time as new- film is added.
Watch for the Movie Man.
Daily  Vacation  Bible
School Decided Success
Fifty-two" Pupils   Enrolled "and   All
Were Sorry When Meetings ■
Game to a Close.
A very successful daily vacation
Bible school was held for two weeks,
with an enrollment of 52 pupilsV The
course of study was as the International', committee ,arranged. Eacn
day classes were held in "Builders oi
the ' Church " "Bible Stories,"
"Music,"' "Habit Talks," "The Gospel'' and ''Craftwork." The faculty
.consisted of Rev. C. E. Kircher, D.
D., dean; Rev. S. Schofield, Mrs. Daniel Hallj Miss Norma Bowen, Mrs.
Lloyd Fairbanks, Miss • Katherine
Briggs and Mass Eunice Barr.
The .attendance was almost perfect
and . many of the pupils' expressea
themselves as being sorry that the
two weeks were up and wished the
school" might have continued. The
teachers were so faithful and efficient
that the school had no hindrances,
but was a. pronounced success. On
Friday at the closing period the
school gathered in the basement of
the Methodist church and each one
enjoyed ice cream and cake.
The-school-met each, forenoon five
days in a week in the Methodist
church. No doubt next -year the
school will be much larger.
