Save your money. By this we do not mean all your
money, for that would be a move against the natural
functioning of supply and demand. "We mean a certain p^*centage 'of your weekly income should be
saved every week. It is not what you spend that matters, but how you spend.
It is the same with saving. Systematic saving is
as necessary to your daily existence as systematic
spending.   Save wisely, live well.

Home Economics Course Assured for
Coming Year;  Several New
Teachers.
A great many of the High school
girls of Saline and vicinity were
made happy when the announcement
was made that the subject of home
economics was planned for the year
1936-37. So many of the schools
such as Milan, Clinton, Ypsilanti,
Chelsea, Lincoln, Manchester and
others have had the subjct included
in tlie curriculum that the Saline
folks are to be commended for making possible that fine opportunity
for the local school. The new department will round out an expansion
program entered into last year when
agriculture, manual arts, and kindergarten were introduced. With the
local program including the above
mentioned subjects it means that the
vocational subjects', will receive the
much needed attention which they
deserve, and in which the great
majority of students have been interested.
The Board of Education, in considering plans for the new department, took advantage of a program
similar to that under which the new
agriculture department was installed
last fall, namely, that of complying
with the requirements of the Smith-
Hughes School Law. In doing this
it will be possible for the school to
be reimbursed in part by the state
and federal govrnments for the instruction   offered.
Miss Elizabeth Huntley of Central
Lake, who completed her training at
the Michigan State Normal College
in June for the Home Economics
Smith-Hughes work, has been engaged as the instructor. She was very
highly rcommended by the college
authorities. Besides her regular
work she also participated in basketball and baseball and can direct both.
In addition she held several offices
while in college such as chairman
Mich. Student Home Econ. Clubs,
Pres. of her sorority, member Advisory Board and was on the Committee
of Campus Sisters.
Besides Miss Huntley the school
faculty will have several other new
members for the coming year,
Donald Rock of Detroit, who completed his training at Michigan State
College in physical education and
history also in June, has been engaged to teach history and coach. Mr.
Rock's instructors also have spoken
very highly of his potential teaching
ability. He participated in practically all of the major sports while in
college and had varsity experience
in both baseball and football. He
also has had some very valuable
.experience wth Boy Scouts, both as
a member and as a leader. He was
president of the Physical Education
Club, and secretary-treasurer of the
Varsity Club.
Miriam Mitchell Moore of Ann
Arbor, who has been County Recreational Director during the past
year, has been engaged to teach
speech and Engliish and high school
music. Mrs. Moore has already demonstrated before Saline people what
she can do in the work carried on
last year, teachinng dramatics and
music on the local recreational program. Her leadership of the community choir for the union Easter
service last spring, also for the baccalaureate services has shown that
she is capable and talented. She has
had teaching experience also in Oxford, Northville and Honolulu,
Hawaii. While in college she enjoyed
membership in two National honorary
societies, the Forensic Fraternity and
the Speech Arts and Dramatice Fraternity. She also was a member of
the Varsity Glee Club, Portia Literary Society, University Choir, varsity
debate team, besides various other
activities.
Miss LaDorna Feller of Findlay,
Ohio, who completed her work at
Hillsdale College in June, has been
engaged to teach Latin and English.
She also can teach music. The college instructors speak very complimentary of Miss Feller's work as a
student and her work in practice
teaching was very good. Miss Feller
is also taking extra work at Findlay
College this  summer.
Miss Emma Jean Fuller of Ann
Arbor, who completed her training
in June at the San Jose State Teachers College at San Jose, Cal,, has
been engaged to teach kindergarten
and music in the lower grades. Miss
Fuller's references speak very highly
of her ability as a kindergarten and
music teacher. Miss Fuller can also
: teach art.
t   " With   the   addition   of   these   five
j teachers   the faculty for 1936-37  as

IF I  HAVE LOST
By Ann Ba"ichelder
If I have lost one" perfect hour
That   might   have   been,    that
might have been,
Or   failed   to   pluck   one   perfect
flower
That grew my garden close within;
Let me not, to my latest breath
Know any feeling save regret,
Nor look upon delight till Death
Steals by and whispers   "Heart,
forget."

DIS.4STROUS  FIRE MONDAY
REGISTRATION
From The Observer Sept. 15, 1881
Although the fire alarm was quite
generally heard, yesterday morning,
there were some who did not hear
it, and it was at once decided that
we need a larger bell, So Mr. B. P.
Davenport took the j matter in hand
and after canvassing among the
business men a few hours succeeded
in raising about $30 more. -This
amount together with the present
bell, which will be returned, will secure a 400-pound bell—about twice
the size of the one now used.
Saline High school officially closed
in June. For some students this
means a long summer vacation, while
others may be busily engaged in various fields of work. For the boys enrolled in vocational agriculture and
carrying projects it means the application of agricultural principles
learned during the school year. At
the present time 23 boys are engaged
in project work. Of these 23 projects, 15 are livestock and eight are
crop.    The boys  carrying these are:
Willard Feldkamp, hybrid corn.
Robert Morton, poultry.
Clifton Bird, potatoes.
William Harwood, corn.
Robert Dieterle, potatoes.
Robert Lambarth, dairy.
George Richards, pop com.
George Smith, poultry.
Wesley Luckhardt, poultry.
Roland  Goltz,  poultry.
Eldean Hanson, hogs.
Milton Hartman, potatoes.
Jack Langstaff, potatoes.
Walter Wild, pop corn.
Milton Heininger, sheep.
Alwin Finkbeiner,  sheep.
Leon Feldkamp, dairy.
Willard Bredernitz, sheep.
Paul Hertler,  dairy.
Kenneth Rogers, poultry.
Glenn Weber, dairy.
Charles Hartman,  colts.
Charles Burkhardt, sheep.
These projects are carried on under
the supervision of the agriculture instructor. Each boy keeps an accurate
record of his project and when it is
finished the records are sent to the
state supervisor of vocational agriculture at Lansing,
These projects will help the boy
to become established in the farming
business or in some related agricultural field.
A disiastrous fire occurred early
Monday morning on the Finis Noble
farm in Lodi, when a large barn, a
smaller one and a long shed were
entirely consumed. When first noticed smoke was pouring out of one
end of a barn, followed shortly by
a complete enveloping of the structure by flames and inside of an hour
all three buildings were just a mass
of smouldering ruins.
An alarm was sent to the local department just before 6 o'clock and
they responded promptly, but there
was little tliey could do except protect other buildings. Fortunately the
wind carried the flames away from
the house. It is thought that spontaneous combustion is responsible for
the fire. A good share of the season's crops and a number of implements were consumed but we understand all livestock was saved.

(From the Brooklyn Exponent)
Philip Bracey, genial and industrious old basketmaker, who has a home
east of the mill in tlie EnnisviUe addition to Brooklyn, was found dead
in his car only a few rods from his
home Tuesday morning.
He had come up town and was taking home two rustic hickory chairs
for repairing. He has not "been in
good health lately and has suffered
spells of illness. Apparently lie had
felt a sudden attack coming on for
he had driven his car clear of the
roadway and shut off the ignition,
the end coming as he sat upright at
the wheel.
He was found by Ellsworth Bas-
com, who had taken a truck load of
waste to the village dumping
grounds, and by C. M. Malosch, who
has charge of the place not far from
where the car stopped. Justice Ralph
Bartlett was called to the place, but
no formal inquest was thought necessary.
George Nelson Groner, 65 years of
age, died at his home in Saline township on Wednesday morning of last
week. Deceased was born in Silver-
wood, the son of Jacob and Eliza
Stone Groner, on December 2, 1870.
Mr. Groner is survived by the
widow, Lucella Johnson Groner, at
home; one daughter, Mrs. Dora Davis, Ann Arbor; a sister, Mrs. Jennie
Ayers, Silverwood; two brothers,
Jacob of Pontiac and Amos of Canada, and one granddaughter. A son,
j George, died in 1907.
