apprehenders of transporters of contraband liquor in the state, a great
many of his hauls being big ones,

vestigtor of liquor law violators in
Detroit.

JUDGE NOT IN HASTE
By Mrs. Alger Allison
Ne'er be hasty in your judgment,
Never foremost to extend
EviL mention of a schoolmate
Or of one you've called a friend.
If two reasons for an action,
Choose the better, not the worst,
Oft with some the meaner motive
Ever strikes the fancy first.
Then be gentle'to misfortune,
Never foremost to extend
Evil mention of a schoolmate,
Or of one you've called a friend.
Judge not with detracting spirit,
Speak not with disdainful tongue,
Nor with hard "and hasty feeling
Do one human creature wrong.
Words there are that, sharp as winter, i
Strip the little left of cheer;
Oh be yours the kinder mission,
Prone to soothe, not cause a tear.
Then be gentle to misfortune,
Never foremost to extend
Evil mention of "a schoolmate,

A taxi driver who has driven 250,-
000 miles in four years without an
accident says this record is the result
of his always remembering that "you
have to drive your own car and the
other fellow's too."
Remember this when you cross the
intersection of 112 and the State
hospital road. In spite of the signals, accidents are continually happening there, usually because a
driver tries to "run the red light."
j Every Wednesday the high school
ihas an assembly program. Usually
j it is put on by classes but sometimes,
I for variety, an outside speaker is
I secured.
Last 'week Rev. Virgil C. Finnell
of North Manchester, Indiana, a national school lecturer for the No
Tobacco League of America, presented a very interesting stereopticon
lecture. Among the things he said
were:
"Tobacco manufacturers spent forty-four million dollars for advertising
and took in nine-tenths of a billion
dollars in return last year.
"Advertisements for cigarettes are
misleading because the famous men
and women who give the endorsements are paid for their pictures and
names and for saying they smoke
the brand advertised when often
they never smoke.
."Jack Dempsey, Knute Roekne,
Joe Louis and Charles Lindbergh
are a few of our leading citizens who
have had nothing to do with this
propaganda.
"Ty Cobb took ten thousand dollars for saying he enjoys smoking a
famous brand because he needed the
money. The truth is, he does not
smoke and.advises his ball players
riot to smoked     -
"Charles Lindbergh was offered a
quarter of a million dollars if he
would ask for a popular brand of
cigarettes 'when he stepped out of
his plarie~on the..completion of his
trans-Atlantic" flight.'~ But he "would
not deceive the enthusiasts and the
world into thinking he smoked.
"Physicians have proved definitely
that tobacco is harmful to the body
and nervous system. Smoking stunts
the growth of young people, t retards
their chest and lung development and
makes them underweight. Continuous smoking causes a very common
and horrible disease, cancer on the
lip.
"A very convincing reason why
women should not smoke is that they
are twice as susceptible to cancer as
men, therefore women smokers are
twice as likely to have cancer on the
lip. Also children born to women
smokers are less healthy and less
likely to live.
"Among different poisons found-in
tobacco- smoke are nicotine, carbolic
acid, and carbon minoxide gas.
"Heavy smokers are less likely to
recover from serious injuries or
diseases because their heart muscles
and action are weakened, the liver
is weakened, and the lungs do not
have the normal capacity for an
emergency.
"At Ohio Wesleyan University,
non-smokers received 84% of the
high grades while smokers had only
16% of these grades.

With the aid of the Washtenaw
county recreational director, Mrs.
Moore of Ann Arbor, and the assistance of a representative group of
local citizens, there promises to "be
established a very fine program for
the. people, of ^Saline and surrounding
territory! A/'meeting was held last
night at the school to complete
plans for the weekly program,
which most likely will convene on
Wednesday evening each week until
further notice.
The roster of events, or different
projects, promises to include such as
first aid, dramatics, chorus singing,
handicraft work including shop, sewing, etc., auto mechanics, physical
education, and no doubt others, de-
depending upon the size of the group
and the fact whether an instructor
can be found. One great nice thing
about the program is that it need
cost no participant anything except
the time involved. It is certain that
the results obtained will greatly exceed that. Hence your profit should
be according, and your loss accordingly if you fail to take advantage.
Another factor which may prove
interesting to some is that a ched-
uled program will be worked out so
that if you are interested in more
than one project you may get more
than one.
There is every promise of something rich and very worth-while in
such a community program. Why
not come out and give it a try at
least?

Mark B. Sugden spoke on "The
Youth Problem," as affecting young
men of 18 to 25, in their quest of opportunity befitting their preparation,
at the meeting of the Rotary Club
at The Tavern last Thursday noon.
It is a problemnof such magnitude
in this day and age that no formula
seems devisable Yto handle it adequately, and it appears that time and
tiie best thought of our greatest men
alone can solve the riddle.

A most splendid and"'successful
fishing trip over the week end was
recently announced by the following
daring sportsmen when it was 30 degrees below zero: The stone cracker,
work butcher, stone - piler, grease
monkey and coon skinner.
But, upon packing and preparing
for the home journey, they decided
to pick up their catch; to their great
surprise they found they were frozen
so solidly to the ice it was impossible to pick them up, so they decided
to leave them there until milder
weather would loosen .them, and have
them shipped to their homes by some
native of Bay City.. Upon arriving
home they told their wives and
friends of their-catch. A few days
rolled by and no fish came, so this
aroused suspicion; as usual; but a
few days later to proveo their story
each one received a box>.of fish. Wonderful catch!
"RUDIGORE"
Some members of the Senior class
were guests of Miss Pray at an op-
j eretta, "Rudigore," given in Lydia
I Mendelssohn theatre in Ann Arbor by
! the University dramatic class. Judg-
1 ing from the flow of conversation
! and comments the people were well
! pleased.
j The operetta was divided into two
j scenes, one of which took place in. a
j fishing village and the other in a
j picture  gallerjr.
i    The story was based on a curse
j which was inherited through a title
I and was usually placed on the oldest
i son.    There were two  sons in  this
family and the oldest, who^had inherited   the   curse,   suddenly ^disappeared and was reported dead, so the
curse   fell   upon   his   brother.     The
elder had migrated to a small fishing
village where he fell- in love with a
veiy lovely maiden, Rosebud, but because of his shyness was unable to
tell her of his affection.
One day a good friend  (Dick)  of
his  happened   into   the  village   and
promised  to  propose for him.    This
caused a terrible mixup because she
! did not know which one she loved.
I    The  younger   brother   them   came
! to  the village and his real identity
| was   disclosed.     He   returned   home
j and became subject to the curse and
was haunted by his ancestors when
he failed to! commit one crime a day.
At the end the curse was lifted and
he again had Rosebud's love.
The chorus was made up of girls
dressed as bridesmaids and sailors..
The singing and acting were excellent and the characters well chosen.

The all-star teams in volleyball
entertained the all-star teams of Lincoln last Thursday afternoon by beating them * three out of four. The
games were very exciting and the
teams were well matched. Volleyball
is becoming more and more interesting, and Wednesday Mr. Clay gave
us some new rules, which improve
the game. The teams are improving
fast and I believe that they will, in
the near future, be unconquerable.
Mr.- Clay has made arrangements
with Milan' that Saline will journey
there and play with them again. The
gariie with Milan will be at 4 o'clock
February 5. •
In the four games a total of 32
Saline boys and girls took part," and
an equal number of Lincoln" folks
which indicates what a finen opportunity is furnished by volleyball to
get active participation rather than
"passive bleacher participation." Return games at Lincoln are scheduled
for, February 18.
