lanti and Owen Hoeft of Saline captured high total honor with 206.
The   series  now   stands   seven   to
four in favor of Ypsilanti.
FINAL STANDINGS
Recreation, led by "Moose" Harmon, proved its superiority over the
other five teams during the first half
of the season. They may, however,
have more difficulty during the last
half, as the Dixie Gas team will be
greatly strengthened and will probably become Elsman's "Kar Nuts."
The Wiedman team has also snown
a better brand of pin spilling during
the last few weeks and is certain
to make a better showing from now
on. The remaining teams probably
will continue with the same players.

The Pipe Organ
Written by Mrs. Lillian Burgan
I love to hear the organ, play
As I sit in the old church pew,
The   notes   peal   forth   with   music
sweet
That    thrills    me ? through    and
through. 5
Soft, low dreamy music clear,
Sweet hymns that ijl love so well;
I love to hear the organ play,
For a message it iSeems to tell.
I love to hear the organ play,
A vision I can always see,
And as the choir sings so sweet
I hear the angels sing to me.
I see them flying here and there
As I hear the chimes of the bell;
I love to hear the organ play,
For a message it seems to tell.
I love to hear the organ play
Sweet hymns and songs of old so
fair,
And when God calls me to His home
I hope there'll be an organ there.
And so I dream as  they play and
sing
The hymns I love so well;
I love to hear the organ play,
For a message it seems to tell.

The nation never should have
i built and should stop building now,
'main country thoroughfares carrying
heavy traffic in both directions on the
same-pavement, says H. C-Dickenson, TJ. S. National Bureau of Stand-
j ards, in a communication to the
Michigan  State  Safety  Council.
There never has existed in the field
of industry so deadly a moving object as the other fellow's automobile that we meet on the road, declares Mr. Dickenson.
"Whenever two cars meet on an
IS or even a 20-foot road, they commonly pass within two feet of each
other at relative speeds that would
prove fatal to most of the occupants
if they should collide," writes Dick-
|"enson. "Even speeds of 20 miles an
hour would  commonly  be fatal.
"On 40 miles of road, carrying
1,000 cars per hour each way, there
will be about a million cases of cars
meeting each other every hour. The
number of such hazards per year
runs  into   astronomical  figures.
"Each car is steered by a fallible
human being who may cause a fatal
accident by a second's inattention, or
carelessness. Turning the front
wheels a fraction of a degree in the
wrong place at the wrong time may
snuff out his life and the lives of
others.
Is it to be wondered at that a
large part of the fatal accidents
which occur on the. open road result
from the fact that drivers must meet
other vehicles with so narrow a margin, of safety? The wonder is that
any of us survive. The unprotected
hazard of passing vehicles is perhaps
millions .of times as great as any
hazard of moving parts that has
been eliminated in the safety cam-
paignsjn industry.
"Why do we toierate this and forget its existence? Probably because
we once drove horses_and they mostly looked out for "themselves." Because we have so long been used to
the meeting of other vehicles, we
seem to grossly underrate that hazard in modern traffic. There is no
such thing as safe speed for head-on
collisions; yet we invite them billions  of  times  each year.
"If we really want to reduce the
accident toll we can go far by insisting on separation of traffic whenever possible. Modern motor cars
will continue to be driven at high
speeds unless human nature changes.
The cars will do this safely if they
do not hit something substantial. On
most of our roads there need not he
anything substantial, on the right-
of-way, or near it to run into except
the fellow we meet If we do not
have to meet him, and if the trees
A Whoopingtough
Epidemic Promised
Superintendent   T.   M.   Clay   Issues
Warning and Gives Timely Ad-
•vice to Parents and Children.
The annual County School of Religious Education will be held in the
Federated church on Monday and
Wednesday of next week, and on the' and   telegraph   poles   which   should
There is promise of an epidemic
of whooping cough in Saline unless
careful measures are taken. Several
cases have already been reported and
doubtless others will be. Too many
people think the danger from whooping cough is slight, but note the following report: In the ten-year
period, 1924 to 1933, in Michigan
alone 217 deaths per year was the
average from whooping cough, and
in the ten years was 2,177. Of
these, 62% were of children under
one year of age, and 92% were of
children under three. The disease
ranks among the dangerous communicable ones, and the younger the
child the, greater the hazard.
There are three stages in the
course of the disease. First, the
catarrhal, lasting one or two weeks.
During this time it resembles an
ordinary cold. From the catarrhal
it passes into the spasmodic stage.
| The "whoop" appears in most cases.
After this second period the cough
gradually disappears.
In the first stage bronchitis is always present. This makes a dangerous complication, for broncho-pneumonia is very frequent- and it alone
is responsible for nine-tenths of all
deaths caused by whooping cough.
Care of Child—By all means consult a physician.
Whooping cough is a disease not
to be.trifled with, and especially by
parents of chifdreri of the ages from
6 months to 5 years. Every effort
possible should? be made to avoid exposure of children in this age to
the disease. If there is whooping
cough among the children of a school,
any pupil who has not had -the
disease previously may get it and
bring it home to the younger children. -
■ Rules and Regulations:—
Cases and suspected cases shall
be reported.
A warning placard shall be .placed
on the home. . - , .
' Patients should be isolated for three
weeks after development of the
characteristic cough.
' Disinfection of the discharges from
the nose and throat should be carefully done.
Children who have had whooping
cough may continue in school as
usual. If exposed and they have not
had it they shall be excluded from
school' and from contact with other
children for the same length of time
as the patient.
This- information is taken directly
from Michigan Department of Health
Bulletin for 1934.

chances for serious accidents on

TRAPPERS MAY HOLD
FURS   INDEFINITELY
Michigan trappers are under obligation at no time to sell furs.
As long as they iave notified the
Department of Conservation as to
the kind and quantity of pelts in
their possession, they may hold such
pelts indefinitely in anticipation of
better market prices.
"Many trappers seem to think that
they must sell pelts in their possession within five days after the close
of the respective trapping seasons,"
said H. R. Sayro, chief of conservation law enforcement. "That is not
true."
Michigan young women will have
an opportunity to enroll in a short
course in Home Economies, at M. S.
C, starting Jan. 6 and continuing
until March 6.
This short cut to homemaking will
include classes in foods and nutrition child care, clothing, home management, home furnishings, art appreciation, music, dramatics, and
physical education.
Girls who contemplate taking this
course should" make application for
living accommodations through the
office of Dr. Elizabeth Conrad, dean
of women. Applications for the
short course "should be sent to the
