Final Meeting for Year
The Parent-Teacher Association of the Saline Schools
will hold their final meeting at the high school on the evening of- April 24. Following last year's plans, a community
get-together and feed will be held at 7 o'clock in the auditorium. Everyone who attends should bring their own dishes
and silverware, sandwiches, and one dish to pass about the
table. The writer puts in a special plea for some of- the
pickles which he sampled—(only sampled)—last year. This
dish to jpass—(I quote the committee on eats)—-may be
salad, macaroni, meat loaf, or any other form of meat,
PICKLES,, or any other delicacy like devilled eggs or scalloped potatoes or—oh, well, anything that tastes good going
down and doesn't carry too much fat.
This, meeting was planned for April 17, but a special
feature in the musical line had been planned for the evening
and' it is impossible to get this feature here for the 17th.
The Teeumseh H. S. band will' play a short concert on the
24th and we couldn't get them for the 17th owing'*Eb a date
changed in their calendar. " They will sit down to eat with us
at 7 P. M. and will play a short concert at 8, following with
one or two numbers by the massed bands of Saline and Teeumseh high schools. Be sure to be there to hear them.
At 9 P. M., a short program of games will be given by
pupils of the grades and the high, school. There will be no
charge for any of this and we .want-'a^full gallery when the
fun begins. Try to be there and make it a BIG evening.

Finances Rieal Reason for Haste
Enacting- Beer Legislation;
Sales Tax Talk.
j By Elton R. Eaton
j Lansing, Mich.—Many people , of
: Michigan have wondered why the ad-
this money is for use in Detroit.
j An interesting tour with the news
| of the day.
j TEvery trip, excursion or tour has
| to have a starting point. Saline, I
believe, would be a very appropriate
•place to start.
We're all together, every man,
woman. and child of this, our fair
; bill. They realize that the legislation
; is not the resufE of any unusual demand, although the public is favorable to the legal sale of beer within
. the state.
The real reason of tlie anxiety of
j administrative officials in Lansing is
I due to the fact that the state of
; Michigan is without cash and officials
: hope that the license fees provided in
! the beer bill will bring some reve-
I nues into the empty state treasury,
j and not because of any general hun-
: ger for beer.
! Yes, the state is practically penniless. Emplqyes of educational, insti-
l tutions' were only paid half of their
i wages -the first of this month and
i practically no bills have been paid
by the state since the first of the
' year. At a time iwhen the state
. treasury should be running over with
' cash, there is none there. County

The proposal of Governor Comstock
that the legislature consider a measure to bring additional revenues- in
from a sales tax will take up much
of the legislature's time in the next
week or so. There are prospects of
some sort of sales tax being passed,
but this question is one that is bound
to provide plenty of legislative argument.

it is for that reason that such frantic
haste is being made -to pass the
measure.
To those who are anxious to get a
license to sell beer, there will be no
definite information on this subject
until the bill has been placed on final
reading in tlie house. Last week end
found the measure, slowly making its
way through senate hearings. ~
But there is this much that is sure
about it, the villages, cities and counties wi 1 have nothing to do with issuing the licenses or controlling the
sale of beer. It is known in many
t)i?i.ces that dozens of a-plicatlons
. have already been filed with village
| and city authorities, but these appli-
i cations will -not count. No village or
i city legislation can keep the state
! from issuing a permit within the mur-
I nicipal boundaries.
I If cne desires to get a license to
' sell beer, the application must be
' filed at Lansing with the new state
beer "cbntroPcommisssion7that'~is" provided for in the bill now being con-
' sidered. There can be no bars and
; beer will be permitted served at ta-
. bles only. The schedule for prices for
i licenses will not be definitely known
I until the bill is ready for the governor's signature.

It was a very beautiful procession.
This meeting drew about the entire
population of Saline, including the
mass of people from Lodi. Traffic
was so congested a big red truck had
to break, the way.
The meeting was held, the speaker
of the day adressing the crowd frcm
the roof. The chimney served as a
table and support.
The throng- increased, the roosters
crowed, the cows whinnied and the
horses mooed. The pigs even added
to the excitement by "a game of tag
around the fire engine.
Oh my, it was a gorgeous spectacle,
that pretty red truck all togged in
new license plates: chains and what
not. And what a picture the masterful engineer made sitting on the
plush seats of the cab, feet high, hat
cocked, and a twenty-five cent "factory throw-out" adding to the new
mown hay aroma. All in all, folks, I
tell you it was a wonderful day. And.

Representative Vern Brown's bill

The Saline Telephone Company is
moving its office and plant from the
Cook building on Michigan avenue to
its new location on the corner of
South Ann Arbor and -Henry streets,
known to the majority of our readers
as the old Hunt house. The business
office is. now located in the new quarters, and the switchboard and equipment will be moved as soon as the
connecting cable work is completed.
TheNhouse has been arranged to
provide a business office on the front
side, north; the switchboard room
will be located across the hall on the
south front. Back of the switchboard
room is located the terminal rack
room and lavatory. Back of the
office are two rooms, one of which
will be used for additional office
space and the other for storage.
The cables will be "half-tapped" or
connected to the old cables and connected on the terminal rack at the
new location. Jumper wires will connect the lines to the proper numboi*o-
on the protector strips, where lightning or sneak currents of electricity
are drained off to ground. From th'e
the protector strips fifteen cables wii!
be run to tlie switchboard to connect
to the line drops. A "dummy" switchboard, or frame, a duplicate in size
of the regular switchboard, has been
set up, and the cables will be formed,
built up and made ready to attach to
the line drops, so that when the Urns
for cutting over to the now io?atioi:
arrives, the dummy will be slipped
out of the way, and the regular
board put in its place, and the connections will proceed immediately.
Operators' circuits and ringing povver
will be ready tc connect.
It is .planned to cut ever late at
night, when traffic is practically nothing. The switchboard will be cut
loose at tlie old location, moved immediately to the new office and connections* started. Service in must
gases should be re-established by tlie
time subscribers"start calling in the
morning. During the time the
switchboard is cut off, farmers' lines,
doctors, and fire , fighting agencies
will be cut in on drops set up- in the
present office, with an operator in attendance, to take care of emergency
calls only, such as sickness, accident,
fire, etc. A. long distance circuit wil7
also be held in readiness for vse. The
subscribers will be informed -when the
cutover is to be made, so that thej
may do any necessary calling before
-th*e"c*utove'rr*— *""*"
Adequate pay statisn service will
be provided inB addition to the pay
station located in The Tavern, with e
charge for all calls, local as well as
long distance. A booth will he provided at the now' iooation for the
convenience of the public and where
subscribers may make their local
calls without charge. Non-snbscriD-
ers will be charged a small amo'.nt
for local calls.
The Telephone Company started
operations in -the Cook building in
1903, thus having been in this location for thirty years. To many oi
the older citizens, it will seem i-
strange thin<r not to .find the telephone office in the ijnion IjIock.

SALINE'S HOME NEWSPAPER FOB 50 YEARS DEVOTED TO THE BE3T INTERESTS OF' JtilS SECTION VOLUME 52 SALINE, WASHTENAW COUNTY, TMICHIGAN, THURSDAY, APTRjL 13, 1933 NUMBER. 25 EQUIPPED To give the best possible service in every branch of banking. he Saline Savings Bank The One Story Bank on the Corner Parent-Teacher Association Final Meeting for Year The Parent-Teacher Association of the Saline Schools will hold their final meeting at the high school on the evening of- April 24. Following last year's plans, a community get-together and feed will be held at 7 o'clock in the auditorium. Everyone who attends should bring their own dishes and silverware, sandwiches, and one dish to pass about the table. The writer puts in a special plea for some of- the pickles which he sampled—(only sampled)—last year. This dish to jpass—(I quote the committee on eats)—-may be salad, macaroni, meat loaf, or any other form of meat, PICKLES,, or any other delicacy like devilled eggs or scalloped potatoes or—oh, well, anything that tastes good going down and doesn't carry too much fat. This, meeting was planned for April 17, but a special feature in the musical line had been planned for the evening and' it is impossible to get this feature here for the 17th. The Teeumseh H. S. band will' play a short concert on the 24th and we couldn't get them for the 17th owing'*Eb a date changed in their calendar. " They will sit down to eat with us at 7 P. M. and will play a short concert at 8, following with one or two numbers by the massed bands of Saline and Teeumseh high schools. Be sure to be there to hear them. At 9 P. M., a short program of games will be given by pupils of the grades and the high, school. There will be no charge for any of this and we .want-'a^full gallery when the fun begins. Try to be there and make it a BIG evening.

Eaton j Lansing, Mich.—Many people , of : Michigan have wondered why the ad- this money is for use in Detroit. j An interesting tour with the news of the day. j TEvery trip, excursion or tour has to have a starting point. Saline, I believe, would be a very appropriate •place to start. We're all together, every man, woman. and child of this, our fair ; bill. They realize that the legislation ; is not the resufE of any unusual demand, although the public is favorable to the legal sale of beer within . the state. The real reason of tlie anxiety of j administrative officials in Lansing is I due to the fact that the state of ; Michigan is without cash and officials : hope that the license fees provided in ! the beer bill will bring some reve- I nues into the empty state treasury, j and not because of any general hun- : ger for beer. ! Yes, the state is practically penniless. Emplqyes of educational, insti- l tutions' were only paid half of their i wages -the first of this month and i practically no bills have been paid by the state since the first of the ' year. At a time iwhen the state . treasury should be running over with ' cash, there is none there.

' The proposal of Governor Comstock that the legislature consider a measure to bring additional revenues- in from a sales tax will take up much of the legislature's time in the next week or so. There are prospects of some sort of sales tax being passed, but this question is one that is bound to provide plenty of legislative argument. treasurers are reporting that, they '■ have practically no tax money to Individual Bowline* ■ j send the state. That portion of the ; - ° \ gas and weight tax not already ex- i ; pended for purposes specified in the I state lai\v, is being diverted to other 1 purposes, so the state must have ' money from source, say members of i the house and senate, if its govern- \ ■ment is to continue to function.

To those who are anxious to get a license to sell beer, there will be no definite information on this subject until the bill has been placed on final reading in tlie house. Last week end found the measure, slowly making its way through senate hearings. ~ But there is this much that is sure about it, the villages, cities and counties wi 1 have nothing to do with issuing the licenses or controlling the sale of beer. It is known in many t)i?i.ces that dozens of a-plicatlons . have already been filed with village and city authorities, but these appli- i cations will -not count. No village or i city legislation can keep the state ! from issuing a permit within the mur- I nicipal boundaries. I If cne desires to get a license to ' sell beer, the application must be ' filed at Lansing with the new state beer "cbntroPcommisssion7that'~is" provided for in the bill now being con- ' sidered. There can be no bars and ; beer will be permitted served at ta- . bles only.

Drawings will be made knew, last Thursday. It was a very beautiful procession. This meeting drew about the entire population of Saline, including the mass of people from Lodi. Traffic was so congested a big red truck had to break, the way. The meeting was held, the speaker of the day adressing the crowd frcm the roof. The chimney served as a table and support. The throng- increased, the roosters crowed, the cows whinnied and the horses mooed. The pigs even added to the excitement by "a game of tag around the fire engine. Oh my, it was a gorgeous spectacle, that pretty red truck all togged in new license plates: chains and what not. And what a picture the masterful engineer made sitting on the plush seats of the cab, feet high, hat cocked, and a twenty-five cent "factory throw-out" adding to the new mown hay aroma. All in all, folks, I tell you it was a wonderful day. And. believe you me, that profession wn so. enthused they even violated th: ordained law of our fair city by trcs passing on a red light.

The Saline Telephone Company is moving its office and plant from the Cook building on Michigan avenue to its new location on the corner of South Ann Arbor and -Henry streets, known to the majority of our readers as the old Hunt house. The business office is. now located in the new quarters, and the switchboard and equipment will be moved as soon as the connecting cable work is completed. TheNhouse has been arranged to provide a business office on the front side, north; the switchboard room will be located across the hall on the south front. Back of the switchboard room is located the terminal rack room and lavatory. Back of the office are two rooms, one of which will be used for additional office space and the other for storage. The cables will be "half-tapped" or connected to the old cables and connected on the terminal rack at the new location. Jumper wires will connect the lines to the proper numboi*o- on the protector strips, where lightning or sneak currents of electricity are drained off to ground. From th'e the protector strips fifteen cables wii! be run to tlie switchboard to connect to the line drops. A "dummy" switchboard, or frame, a duplicate in size of the regular switchboard, has been set up, and the cables will be formed, built up and made ready to attach to the line drops, so that when the Urns for cutting over to the now io?atioi: arrives, the dummy will be slipped out of the way, and the regular board put in its place, and the connections will proceed immediately. Operators' circuits and ringing povver will be ready tc connect. It is .planned to cut ever late at night, when traffic is practically nothing. The switchboard will be cut loose at tlie old location, moved immediately to the new office and connections* started. Service in must gases should be re-established by tlie time subscribers"start calling in the morning. During the time the switchboard is cut off, farmers' lines, doctors, and fire , fighting agencies will be cut in on drops set up- in the present office, with an operator in attendance, to take care of emergency calls only, such as sickness, accident, fire, etc. A. long distance circuit wil7 also be held in readiness for vse. The subscribers will be informed -when the cutover is to be made, so that thej may do any necessary calling before -th*e"c*utove'rr*— *""*" Adequate pay statisn service will be provided inB addition to the pay station located in The Tavern, with e charge for all calls, local as well as long distance. A booth will he provided at the now' iooation for the convenience of the public and where subscribers may make their local calls without charge. Non-snbscriD- ers will be charged a small amo'.nt for local calls. The Telephone Company started operations in -the Cook building in 1903, thus having been in this location for thirty years. To many oi the older citizens, it will seem i- strange thin |
