EVERYTHING IN BUILDING SUPPLIES
| If you wish to enjoy both an
j interesting and beautiful Sunday trip,
j turn the nose of your car toward the
j Irish Hills .district about ten miles
1 east of Addison on U. S. 112. About
one and one-half miles west of the
Towers, stop at St. Joseph Chapel
and ,The Way of tlie Cross, one of
the most beautiful Catholic shrines
in the country. Rev. Joseph Pfeffer,
the man who visioned this magnificent work, is pastor of St. Joseph
chapel and can be seen any day in
the garb of the ordinary layman, assisting the men in tlie work of building this replica of the street in
Jerusalem. But to get back to the
chapel, because of course you start
your_ journey there. Tou are immediately imp'ressed by an inscription on a placard, "The memory of
the Saviour's Supreme Sacrifice will
help you to bear your sorrows and
trials." As you enter the chapel you
note its rare archtectural and natural
beauty. It would seem that here,
both nature and the handiwork of
man had collaborated in producing
an ideal picture. The ancient chapel
was built by the Irish pioneers in
1854. It was rebuilt along its'original lines in 1928. Both from its exterior and interior it reminds the
traveler of the world famous California Missons. The Altars and
Niches are embellished by genuine
Venetian Mosaics. The entire ceiling is adorned with Spanish Mosaics.
It presents a scene never to be forgotten.
Passing through the side door you
enter the church yard. Located in
the center of the church yard is the
beautiful life-size Crucifixion Group
It was sculptured from pre-Carrara
Marble from Pietsantra, Italy. The
group and the Calvary Crest on
which it rests weighs approximately
22,000 pounds. It is dedicated to tlie
faith of the Irish pioneers whose
bodies lie buried on these sacred
grounds and to the memory of Fr.
Gabriel Richard, pioneer missionary
through whose efforts the Chicago
Pike (now U. S. 112) was first constructed.
And now you begin your journey
—"Way of the Cross." This work
when completed will reveal the only
set of outdoor Stations of the Cross
with historical and symbolical background on the "American continent.
Each station has its own setting,
steeped in the rich history of the
Saviour's "Sorrowful Way to Calvary." In the construction of the
"Way of the Cross," precious stones
from the "Bad Lands" of South
Dakota, abalone shells from tlie Pacific coast, blood-red stones from the
Ozark mountains in Missouri, and
gray-stones from the Lake Erie district were employed. The stone-
wood formations representing the
bark of trees and native Holy Land
Shores in the archways were all done
by Mexican artists.
Particularly beautiful and impressive scenes along the way are: Pilate's Judgment Place, 1st station;
Antonia's Tower, 2nd station; Jesus
Falls the First Time, 3rd station; a
street scene in Jerusalem through
which the Saviour passed on liis way
to Calvary will form the background
of the 5th and 6th stations. The
sacrifical Alter, 11th station; and
On the Hill of Calvary, 12th and 13th
stations.
Lovers of art and Biblilal history
will find this place absorbing.—

Saline Blessed With
Many Pretty Flowers
Our "Inquiring Reporter" Locates a
Number and Wonders if Tour
Would Be in Order.
Mrs. John Guthardt has made the
lot between her house and that of
Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Wilson a beautiful sight with its quantities of flowers. A wide border across the back
is now a mass of brilliant color with
dahlias, cosmos, petunias and many
other plants in full bloom. In the
forergound is a circular bed of Cannes, coleus and other colorful plants.
One advantage of this garden is that
it can be seen by all passing by.
After our attention had been called to the beauty of this garden we
began looking at others about town.
That of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Wiedmayer has been outstanding in beauty for several years. Mrs. Herman
Heininger, Mrs.^ Alwin Burkhardt,
Mrs. George Burkhart, Mrs. Fred
Burkhart, Mrs. Ella Henne, Mrs. Eari
Fosdick* and Mrs. O. G. "Wheeler have
gardens that are exceptionally beautiful. A slope in the yard of Mrs.
Mary Dell is made attractive with a
rock garden. Great quantities of red
poppies, with other flowers, were a
brilliant patch of beauty recently in
the yard of C. A. Curtiss on East
Henry street.
There are doubtless many other
beautiful gardens in town which we
haven't seen. Saline should have a
garden tour such as are hel(i in
neighboring cities. We are wondering if the Woman's Club or Rotary
Club could not undertake something
of the sort.

FOOD FOR LITTLE FOLKS
Even if you have to curtail these days the little folks' ration
of meat, milk, eggs and vegetables, you can still continue to feed
them liberally with, that nutritious food—HOME MADE BREAD—the
food which helps buill bone and muscle and supplies the energy their
growing bodies require.
Economize on other high priced foods if you will, but eat liberally of Saline Home Made Bread for health's sake and economy's
sake.

Milk Plant May
Start Up Soon
Jersey Creamery Company of Detroit
Buys Bridgewater Station;
To  Resume^ Operations.
(From the Post-Tribune)
Operation of the* former Gordon
Baking Company milk receiving
plant on M-ll, one mile east or
Bridgewater, will be undertaken
within the next week or 10 days, it
was indicated this week. I
The plant, purchased recently from
the Gordon Company by the Jersey
Creamery Company of Detroit, has
been cleaned and the machinery put
in working order during the past two
weeks. No date has been set as yet
for the opening of operations, but it
is understood milk producers of this
section lying between Saline and
Manchester will be notified of the
company's plans.
The Bridgewater plant, which has
handled as much as six and seven
tons of milk a day, has been closed
since early in February, when a disagreement between producers and
officials of the Gordon Company
caused the latter to withdraw from
the area. Bridgewater merchants
have made attempts from, time to
time to interest other.cgncerns in the
plant.
Since the closing of the receiving
station, most of the producers of the
area have been selling their riiilk to
the Michigan Producers Dairy Company of Adrian, a subsidiary of tlie
Michigan Milk Producers Association. The Adrian plant is a manufacturing organization and consequently has not been able to pay tlie
price that could be received from a
fluid milk distributor. Producers in
the immediate vicinity of tlie local
plant were forced to pay a trucking-
charge of 20 cents a hundred pounds,
when the plant ceased operations and
their milk had to be transported to
Adrian.

To Improve Stream
For Trout Planne
When Work is Completed This Fait
the Stream WiU Be Stocked
With Fish.
(From Ann Arbor Daily News)
The first experment in improving
the conditions of food supply, shelter
and of spawning grounds for fish in
a small stream ever undertaken in
the United States will get under
way at Spring creek, Saline, shortly
after August 22, if the anticipated
approval of the emergency relief engineering department is forthcoming.
Announcement to this effect was
made at a conservation meeting held
in the Chamber of Commerce by
Donal H. Haines, president of tlie
Washtenaw County Conservation
Association.
Dr. Milton D. Trautman, assistant
director of the institute for fisheries
of the University museum, is directing the experiment as a research
project. Much valuable information
which will be helpful in carrying forward small stream improvement
elsewhere is expected to come from
this rfirst experiment.
Twenty-seven deflectors of two different types will be installed along
one-quarter of a mile of the stream
and holes will be cut in the bed to
prevent erosion by spring flood
waters.
As soon as the work is completed
this fall the stream will be stocked
with trout.
Improvement of larger rivers was
started six years ago in several
places in Michigan, but this is the
first experiment to be undertaken on
a very small stream.
Prior to the brief business meeting
at which this announcement was
made C. J. Tinker of the state department of conservation discussed
some of the problems which his department is meeting in conserving
the animal life of the state. Of
these the most pressing problem is
providing food supplies and habitats
for the wild animal life of the state,
both_game and fish.
Mr. Tinker presented the argument, and supported it by both illustration and statistics, that the hunters and fishermen of Michigan for
whom a million licenses are issued
each year will not, if tliey observe
conservation laws and the structures
of common sense reduce appreciably
the wild animal population. The
problem in general, for the conservation department of Micliigan, in his
opinion, is insure adequate food supplies and natural habitats. He emphasized the importance of this task
by pointing out that the state issued
460,000 fishing licenses alone last
year.
To illustrate tlie importance of
this problem the speaker cited the
case of the moose of Isle Royale who
literally ate themselve to extinction.
Back in 1926 the food supply on
Isle Royale was adequate and the
habitat ideal for the small herd of
Canadian moose, which came across
the ice, according to the speaker.
They prospered and multiplied amazingly until by 1930. they had increased to between 4,000 and 5,000.
Then as the food supply became exhausted the herd hegan to dwindle.
Today the herd numbers around 500
and Isle Royale is denuded of most
of its vegetation and practically all
of the foliage to a height of 12 feet,
he said.
Along the line of protecting such
game birds as pheasants the department is attempting to work out witl)
the farmers a plan whereby a limited
number of hunters will be given
hunting privileges on each farm,
without payment of fees. At tlie
same time farmers will be asked to
co-operate in protecting the birds out
of season.
Such protection is necessary, according to the speaker, because ordinary house cats and the mowing
machines account for a far greater
destruction of pheasants than do the
hunters' guns.
State's August Drive To
Collect Delinquent Taxes
Thousands of Home Owners Responding to Appeal to Save
Their Places.
Michigan's thousands of homeowners, responding to the state's appeal
to "pay back taxes and save your
homes," are rushing- to redeem their
properties before September 1, deadline for payment of taxes for 1932
and prior years without interest or
penalties.
Payments of delinquent taxes
throughout the state are twice as
heavy as tliey were a year ago, according to Gus T. Hartman, deputy
auditor general.
'"Fifty-five counties show payments totaling §588,314 for tlie week
ending August 10," Hartman reports.
"In the same period last year, these
counties collected only §296,451. The
money is rolling in faster every-day.
"Actual tax payments do not tell
tlie real story," he said. "While a
majority of property owners are paying their back taxes in full, many are
taking advantage of tite Moore-Hol-
beck plan, which permits payment of
taxes for 1932 and prior years over
a period of 10 years without penalty.
More than §4,000,000 in delinquencies
have been put back in the paying
column under this plan in the first
half of this month and the rush has
just begun. This means that small
homeowners are taking advantage of
the easy payment plan and reclaiming properties which have long-been
threatened with sale by the auditor
general."
County treasurers all over Michigan report they have their forces
working nights and Sundays to keep
up with the rush. Many of them
have issued appeals to the public to
mail payments to avoid long waits in
line by paying at the offices.

Detroit, August 20.—Opera Under
the Stars brings to the mammoth
outdoor stage at Navin Field as the
last production of its first summer
season, the most outstanding musical
comedy in years, "The Gay Divorcee."
It will start its week's engagement
Monday night, August 26.
This rollicking romance held sway
on Broadway for almost a year and
then was" produced in London where
it enjoyed a six months engagement.
For a fast moving story, hilarious
comedy and catchy music this musical show is hard to beat. Among the
many songs is the sensational hit,
"The Continental;" there is also the
dance of the same name which is one
of the flashy high-points of the
whole show. Elaborate dance numbers, gorgeous girls and colorful costumes make this show a bubble over
with life and action.
The whole of this delightful comedy is woven around a situation that
is harrowing to the people involved
and hilarious to onlookers. Guy
Holden glimpses Mimi and falls head
over heels in love. He pursues her
madly hither and yon, singing and
dancing into her heart. She cannot
return his love, however, because she
is under obligations to another man.
To free herself from these ohliga-
tions she hires, through a friend, a
professional flirt, intending to stage
an affair which will make her former
sweetheart jealous. Her plan backfires ludicrously when Guy, about
whose private life she knows nothing,
conies upon the scene in circumstance's that cause Mimi to believe
that HE is the professional flirt..
From this point on eventuate tlie
dizziest sort of romantic complications.
A brilliant all-star cast appears in
this musical comedy. Jack Good, who
plays the role of the love-struck
dancing suitor, Guy Holden, is one
of the cleverest dancers on tlie stage
today. The laughing, singing and
dancing Mimi is played by Sandra
Ward. Miss Ward and Mr. Good as
a dance team promise to be sensational. <■>
This gay and colorful musical comedy, which will have, its last performance on Sunday night, Sept. 1st,
will bring to a close in a blaze of
glory Detroit's first summer season
of outdoor musical shows, which has
been most unusual and successful.
All seats are reserved and performances start at 8:30 nightly.
SALINE ROTARY CLUB
Last Thursday noon the Rotary
Club listened to and discussed thai-tide by Gov. Hoffman of New Jersey on the reasons why there are so
many automobile accidents, which he
attributes to speed in connection with
the fact that people have no idea of
how far a car will travel after the
brakes have beent applied, even if the
brakes are in the best possible condition.
Another matter, that was discussed
was the feasibility of the club, or
some other group, sponsoring a vacation another summer for all of the
boys and girls in the city, along tile
lines of the Detroit Free Press fresh
air camp.
Percy Satterthwaite of Teeumseh
was a gueSt at the meeting.
Rev. Bert Ede will be guest speaker at the meeting today.
