Prof. §. L Fagerstrom
Talks To Rotarians
Discusses Constitution and U. S. Supreme Court; Coach Yost to
Speak October 1.
Prof. S. E. Fagerstrom, of the Normal College at Ypsilanti, was guest
speaker at the meeting of the Rotary Club at The Tavern last Thursday
noon, and. for half an hour held the
close attention of the members as he
spoke on the United States Supreme
Court, how we come to have such a
body, and reviewed our Constitution.
He is convinced that, as the Constitution is not divine in its origin,
was more or less hurriedly prepared
and adopted, it stands to reason that
succeeding generations would, if the
need arose, amend it, wisely.
All were sorry time was so limited
he could not go into his subject more
at length and -have invited him to
speak at some future date.
P. G. Niethammer was a guest at
the dinner and address.
It is expected that Coach Fielding
H. Yost will be the guest speaker at
the meeting on Thursday, October 1.
S. R. Wilson, who has been soliciting funds for the Saline quota for the
support of the Boy Scout program in
the Washtenaw-Livingston district,
reported having had splendid response
and that in all probability the full
amount would be raised this year, the
first time since 1930.

Superintendent Clay Reports Increase
in Attendance; Material for New
Departments  Installed.
The school enrollment has reached
a total of 347 of which 156 are in
the four upper grades. This is an
increase of 14 in the high school over
the 1935 number.
Clara Schmid and Doris Schmid,
who moved to Ionia during the summer, returned this week to attend
school here.
Classes are being organized this
week through a system of nomination
of candidates by petitions, after
which elections will take place. A
report of the officers will follow later.
The annual reception for the ninth
grade is to be held Friday evening
this week, to which the high school
students, faculty, parents and members of the Board-of Education are
cordially invited. To help defray expenses a small door charge is to be
made.
New courses being offered this year
include two for the girls, Home Economics for the ninth and likewise for
the twelfth grades; one new course
for boys, Animal Husbandry, is offered for eleventh and twelfth boys.
This course is the third of the regular
four year agriculture course. Next
year the fourth course will be substituted for the third. It includes Agriculture Economics and Farm Management.
In the new Home Economics Department a considerable amount of
the small equipment such as dish pans,
tea kettles, rolling pins, etc., was purchased through the Gross Hardware.
Delivery was made last Saturday.
Three of the four sewing machines to
be installed have also been received,
the others are to follow the latter

'Making House Homelike Without Cost"
Is Subject to Be Studied This Year
By County Home Economics
Extension Groups.
Making the House Homelike Without Cost" is the subject to be studied
this year by Washtenaw County home
economics extension groups.
Miss Gertrude Reis, home furnishing specialist from Michigan State
College, will meet with the local
leaders on September 16 for the first
of five lessons.
During the year, the groups will
study Fundamentals of Good Taste
in Home Furnishing. They will first
discuss the best method of obtaining a
feeling of restfulness and space in all
rooms. A second lesson, Color in
Home Decorations, will give a few
simple rules for harmonious color
combinations and will make every
homemaker appreciate the magic
which color can bring into any room.
Braided, crocheted, .and hooked rugs
will be shown and the method of
making each type will be demonstrated. Used materials such as old dresses, suits, coats, hose, blankets, gunny
sacks, and overalls will be utilized in
the making of all rugs.
Principles of furniture arrangement
will be studied and the information
applied in rearranging rooms for
greater comfort, convenience and
beauty. Walls, floors, and ceilings
will be considered as backgrounds for
the furnishings of a home. Color design and texture all play an important part in making the best choice
for the finish or covering of these
surfaces.
The entire series of lessons is
planned t to improve homes with a
minimum of expense.

THE NEW MOELLER ORGAN

who lived near Ann- Arbor, was the i
first minister and was-succeeded by!
Christian Volz in 1853. The. other,
ministers since that time have been'

mar, and M. C. Phillipp, who came In
1911. ' I
During  his   twenty-five  years   of,
service Rev. Phillipp has built up for j
himself a large place in the commu-:
nity.    He, conducts* a  confirmation
class   on    Saturday   mornings   and
been redecorated to match the: new
organ.
The formal dedication will take
place Sunday afternoon at .-I o'clock.
Rev. Hugo Fenker of Ypsilanti will
preach in English and Rev. Brueck-
ner of Chelsea will preach in German.
Paul Berlin of Ida will be the organist. Mr. Berlin is a nephew of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sellen of Saline.
Following the speaking service there
will be a short organ recital.
All members, former members, and
friends are invited to make this a
reunion Sunday. The public is cordially invited to this service.
"Even the most ordinary flowers
and leaves are beautiful if they are
chosen for their color and grace,
arranged artistically in suitable vases
and placed where they may be enjoyed."
This is the deduction of Misa
Gertrude Reis, extension specialist in
home furnishing at Michigan State
College. She offers pointers in flower selection and arrangement that
will aid in enjoyment in the home
and in obtaining placings at some
of tlie many fall flower shows now
scheduled in the state.
In the container itself, one can
find means of aiding the flowers to
exhibit their beauty. According to
Miss Reis, a suitable vase should be
simple in shape, with little or no
decoration in the form of painted or
moulded flowers upon the surface.
The plain and simple vase allows the
flowers to show and does not attract
too much attention to itself.
Each house should contain three
usable vases, a bud vase for one
blossom, a low broad bowl for a
medium sizec^ bouquet, and a piece
eight to ten inches high that is large
and heavy enough to hold a fairly
large bouquet of long stemmed
flowers. Perhaps the one used most
of all is the wide mouth container
of medium height with a wire block
for holding stems at any angle desired.
"Take a tip from the Japanese,"
Miss Reis suggests. "They do not
combine flowers cut with even length
stems, but arrange bouquets with
three definite points of Interest. The
highest point is placed directly "over
the base, the second in point of
height is placed to the right and a
little forward of the center, and the
third and lowest point is placed
slightly back and to the left of the
center. The highest point usually
is one and one half times the height
of the vase."

BRIEF ELECTION NOTES
MR. BLUEGILL, HAVE
-     A   "CLUB   SANDWICH"
A new type of lure known as the
"club sandwich" has been proving
very effective against large blu&-
gills in the inland lakes" in this
vicinity.
For the benefit of fishermen, Mark
Craw, conservation officer, describes
how 'it's made: "Fishermen who
have been using it take any old
snelled fly, the more ragged the
better, and on this they string a
cricket, a grasshopper'and--a-worm.
This bait is a deep water- killer and
obviously takes theilarger bluegills..
Do fish go for it!"    *
A black-gnat fly on which- a small
white grub is fixed, weighed down
witlL a lead shot, recently was found
effective "in the lakes near Baldwin.
COON HOUND FIELD TRIALS
A   Bactrian   piece    attributed   to
235 B.  C. is  said to be the oldest
coin extant.   It was hammered from
a crude copper-nickle alloy of Chinese '■
origin. " -    i
Coon hound field trials will be a
new sport to be introduced in this
locality September 27 at Cement City.
Wilson Kerr, who is one of the coon
hound specialists of this area, explains how the contests are to be run.
The starting spot will be in a wooded
place a half mile west of Cement
City where the dogs will be matched
and will be started on a trail made
by dragging a scent bag along the
ground on a circuit that will bring
the dogs back to a treed coon not far
from the starting place. The trial
will cover about a mile and the first
dog to cross a definite line near the
tree will win as the line dog and the
first to reach the tree and bark up
will also be a winner. Several trials
or heats will be ran , according, to the
number of dogs. Entrance fees of $1
each will be divided between the final
heat winners.—Brooklyn Exponent
