Woman's Club Holds
Year's Final Meeting
Splendid  Program  Enjoyed  at  The
Tavern; Miss Simons of Ypsi-
lanti Guest Speaker.
The final meeting of the . Saline
Woman's Club for the current year
ended in the annual banquet, held in
the dining room of The Tavern, with
30 members and several guests present.
Since the 21st annual meeting of
the Washtenaw County Federation
will be held in Ann Arbor on April
28, Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Earl Fosdick were elected delegates, with
Miss Esther Landwehr and Mrs.
Briggs as alternates. Plans were also
made for a club picnic to be held in
June on the lawn of Mrs. Charles
Hanson in Ypsilanti.
The formal program of the club
proved a very interesting one, with
the retiring president, Mrs. Briggs,
announcing. She called upon Mrs.
Harper, Mrs. Spangler and Mrs. Ap-
rill, who offered two piano selections.
Mrs. Love gave a reading of the selection "Over the Hills to the Poor-
house." Then followed two selections
by the club quintet, Mrs. Fred Burkhart, *frs. Collins, Mrs. Aprill, Mrs.
Briggs and Mrs. Curtiss, with Miss
Mills-at the piano, giving Beethoven's
"Minuet" and "Stars Brightly Shining." i
Mrs. Briggs then introduced Miss
Marian G. Simons of Ypsilanti as the
guest speaker. Miss Simons has
spent five years in social settlement
work in Tokyo, Japan, where she
represents the Woman's Board of the
Methodist Episcopal church. Appearing in an elaborate Japanese costume
she very pleasingly related some of
the costumes and - customs of that
land and showed some Japanese
treasures. Speaking as one who has
experienced the feeling of being a
foreigner in another country, Miss
Simons made a plea for a greater understanding between native Americans and the foreigner who comes to
her shores, and said that one who has
been a foreigner in any land will appreciate the problems facing those
on our shores and that by expressing
greater tolerance much good could
be accomplished in the way of creating a better understanding between
races the world over.
She described some of the deplorable conditions in the poorer sections
of a Japanese city and the problems
missionaries are facing.
Altogether the meeting was a lovely one, and in closing Mrs. Briggs
gave the keys of the club to the incoming president, Mrs. A. J. Warren,
and the members await the opening
of the new club year in the fall.

A Light in the Window
It isn't the way the shadows skip
Across the fire-lit floor,
Or the sound on the roof when raindrops drip, *
Or the lilacs by the door.
It's all of them, somehow, mixed together
In any wind and in any weather
With something  sweeter and fairer
still,
Better    than    health,    better    than
wealth, i
Finer than any fame.
Whether the heart shall stay or roam;
Something lovely without a name,
Tender and blest that binds the rest
And makes home.

County Soil Program
To Be Started Soon
Committeemen Soon to Visit Every
Farm in County; Have Your
list Ready for Them.
The formal organization of the
county soil conservation program
was completed last week under the
direction of Delmar LaVoi, East
Lansing, who met with the committeemen elected at the recent soil conservation meetings in the different
townships. Mr. LaVoi gave instructions to the committeemen for filling-
out the work sheet which is the next
step in the program. Township committeemen will visit every farm in
the township and obtain the acreage
of different crops grown in 1935.
This -work will begin at once and be
completed within the next two weeks.
Farmers can save considerable time
of the men if they will make a list
of the acreage of the different crops
which they harvested on the farm in
1935 and have it ready when called
for. This should be done at once as
the committeemen may visit the
farm at any time within the next
few-days.
The officers for the county organization formed Friday are:
President—Fred Blumhardt.
Vice President—W. C. Pritchard.
Secretary and Treasurer—Harry
M. Cole.
County Committeeman—Clarence
Carr; alternate, Mark Lathers.
The committeemen in the vicinity
of Saline are: Saline, Clarence Carr,
E. J. Forsythe, Everett Lindsley;
Lodi, Harry M. Cole, Mark Sweetland,
Rudolph Gross; York, Clinton Torrey,
Gale Riggs, Gus Grams; Pittsfield,

Just how well members of the
Rotary Club keep in touch with national advertisers was revealed at the
regular weekly meeting of the club,
at The Tavern last Thursday noon,
as they filled out, or tried to, answers to the following list of slogans,
handed out by the chairman, Alwin
Gross:
Hatched    in    1886    but    "Hasn't
Scratched Yet."
.  Ask the man who owns one.
The national joy smoke.
Good to the  last drop.
The pause that refreshes.
They satisfy.
Not a cough in a carload.
Nature in the raw is seldom mild.
It beats, as it sweeps, as it cleans.
First it whispers, then it shouts.
Look for the date on the package.
What paper advertises New York's
famous hotel.
For the man who KNOWS.
„Look for the lion's head.
Going out of business, two for the
price of one.
Edward Henne ranked high, with
13, and Mrs. Merritt Martin, who
also participated, came next, with 11.
Paul Rogers and Edwin Golts, High
school seniors, were guests and also
had a chance to solve the "mystery
of the slogans."

CREAM PROGRAM RESULTS
IN INCREASED INCOMES
A cream improvement program
conducted by the state department of
agriculture resulted in an increased
income to Michigan farmers of approximately four million dollars in
1935, Commissioner of Agriculture
James F. Thomson has disclosed.
Michigan farmers received approximately 35 million dollars for butter
fat in 1935, the commissioner said.
The butter production in the state
for the year was about 90 million
pounds, an increase of 10% over
1934. Thomson is prepared to disclose these facts to members of the
Michigan Creamery Owners and
Managers Association at their annual spring meeting, April 22, to be
held at East Lansing. Thomson said
that prior to tlie inauguration of the
cream program as much as 209*- of
cream sold in the state was under
grade at various times during the
year. He believes this has been reduced to a point where not more
than 3 to 5% is under grade at the
present time.

GOOD T-JEWS FOR GOOD HEALTH
Trout Reguations  Unchanged
Except for the new opening date,
whieh permits the angler to go into
action April 25 this season, instead
of May 1, there are no new regulations for trout fishermen to worry
over this year.
Brook, brown or rainbow trout
must be at least seven inches in
length and each angler is limited to
15 trout per day or in possession at
any one time.
In former years, health officers and
parents looked with dread and anxiety at very frequent outbreaks of
the terribly fatal diseases, diphtheria
and smallpox.
By the very general acceptance of
vaccination, smallpox has become a
much milder disease, and it is almost
unknown  in many.localities.
Diphtheria, once the fatal scourge
of childhood, by the use of antitoxin
and by the very general immunization through toxoid, has lost its terrors and is almost banished from the
communities where its protection is
accepted.
Saline and its suoundings constitute" a stiking witness to the efficiency of the preventive methods which
are offered.
The usual clinic at the schools will
be announced soon.
J. B.  Wallace, Health Officer.
Troops Urged to Honor Mothers
Calling attention to Mother's Day,
May 10, Scout Executive Walter
MacPeek, in-a bulletin to Scout leaders urges all troops to have mothers
attend the troop -meeting during the
week preceding Mother's Day as
special guests of honor of the troop.
Some recognition of the part that
mothers play in Scouting is recommended, such as the presentation of
Scout Mothers' pins, flowers, etc.
"Another most scoutlike way to
commemorate Mother's Day," Mr.
MacPeek recommends, "is for every
boy to take his mother to church on
Mother's Day."

Camp Being Made Ready for Summer
The Newkirk Reservation for Boy
Scout Troops, on the Huron river at
Dexter, is being made ready for the
organized Scout training camp, which
will open there on June 14. Some
troops have already chosen the date
when they expect to attend and patrols and individual Scouts are saving their money to participate in the
summer camp. Applications, with
the initial deposit, are already being
filed.
Boats are being repaired and repainted, tables and benches painted,
additional tree planting and other improvements are being made.
Practically every week end one or
more troops go to the camp for a
troop encampment and to make what
improvements they can at their reservation. Each troop wants to aid
in the development of their reservation.
"The next time you say to yourself,
'Perhaps it can be used at the Scout
Camp,'   reads   a  "bulletin   from   the
