Oldest Thresher In
as
y
John    Sutherland,    East   of   Saline,
Has Been  in the Work for
Fifty Years.
John Sutherland who lives on US-
112, east of Saline, is the oldest
thresher in Washtenaw county and
has followed this line of work for 50
years. During- that time it is estimated that he has threshed several
million bushels of grain and handled
many of corn. Born'in Washtenaw,
not far from where he now resides,
he has seen many changes in rural
customs and manner of living-. He
began, threshing when he was only
15 years old.
'5* -,
MP.
JOHN SUTHERLAND
In addition to threshing, Mr. Sutherland farms 100 acres each year and
sells a popular line of threshing
equipment and farm tools. His yearly travels on his threshing route have
taken him into Pittsfield, Ypsilanti,
Lodi and Ann Arbor townships, totaling thousands of miles during his long
term of activity. In spite of his advanced years he can put to shame
many a younger chap in the volume
of work he accomplishes in a day.
He reports that oats are a little
lighter this year but of excellent
quality and wheat one of the finest
crops that has ever been harvested.
Silo filling has become an ordinary
custom since his early days in the
threshing game. Soon it will be time
for shredding corn stalks and threshing buekweat, he commented.
,Mr. Sutherland does not spend
many idle moments. Aft?r the
threshing season is over he spends
rainy days and odd times going over
his equipment, oiling it a bit here,
tightening a screw there and thus
keeping it in ship-shape condition.
His son, Frank, who lives in a home
of his own beside that of his father,
is following in his father's footsteps
and running a threshing- outfit of his
own.
Not only for his threshing ability
is Mr. Sutherland so well and favorably known, but for his kindly philosophy and" viewpoint of life. He lives
the Golden Rule and does to his fellow-man as he would have him do to
him. Thus he is enjoying the sunset
years of life and bringing joy to
others.

SALINE ROTARY CLUB
In the absence of a regular program, Rotarians at their meeting at
The Tavern last Thursday noon impressed visitors into service. E. A.
Buell of Lansing-, a guest of Alwin
Gross, told of attending a meeting of
the Rotary Club at Washington, D.
C, recently at which were present
diplomats and other high dignataries
from fifty or more foreign countries,
all garbed in full regalia, and all were
asked to step to the mike and say a
few words, most of them in responding speaking in their native tongue.
Bird L. Hight of Howell told of a
visit to the club in Chicago, where at
weekly meetings are guests from all
parts of the world and neighboring
states. Mr. Hight makes frequent
trips to Adrian and on a good many
of them has his family along. Often
they stop at our tourist camp and
partake of their basket lunch. He
complimented Saline on possessing so
attractive a place for strangers to
tarry for a while and enjoy the facilities of the park as well as view
the delightful scenery in that vicinity.
It was decided to make a special
effort to have a large audience for
Prof. Fielding- H. Yost when he
comes over to make an address. The
date will.be announced in due time
so all who may wish to hear him will
be able to make necessary plans.

EVENIN'  ON THE FARM
When the evenin' shadows gather,
And the sun sinks in the west,
When the birdies in the tree-tops
Snuggle in their little nest,
When the bees have ceased their buzzing,
And the roosters cease to crow,
Comes a mooing from the barnyard
And ,a cow-bell tinkles low;
Someone's washing supper dishes,
Horses munch hay in the barn;
On the doorstep sits the farmer
'Cause it's evenin' on the farm.

The  Revival of Football Finds
Insufficient Number of Candidates
By Bob Dieterle
Saline has entered the Huron
League football schedule this season,
after being absent for one year. A
great effort is being made to put a
good team on the field so that Saline
-will not end up in the cellar, as they
did two years ago. Through the help
of John Burg, Ray Hunt and Armine
Westphal, who are alumni, Coach
Rock and Mr. Gettel, the boys are
learning the fundamentals by hard
practice. They are hampered in their
efforts by an insufficient number of
candidates out for football. There are
only 20 boys out and with that small
number there aren't enough to make
two teams to scrimmage. The team
is shaping up nicely; the physical
condition is very good. Their mental
attiude is very high, because the boys
have confidence in themselves. Show
them that you have confidence in
them by coming out to see all the
games! Due to the fact that there
was no football last year, the games
should attract a large Crowd.
The football equipment has been
greatly increased this year. The old
equipment has been repaired and
many new things have been bought,
such as helmets, all new jerseys,
shoulder pads, and pants. Now that
equipment has been acquired it is too
bad it cannot be used because of lack
of candidates.
Note: Coach Rock wishes all parents would permit their sons to come
out for 'football. You never know
what talent they have until you let
them try. It isn't -too late yet for
them to come out, so please consider
this seriously. It will help your boy
and help the team.
The football candidates who are
now in training are: Lloyd Armbruster, Lloyd Bowen, Kenneth Volz, Walter Wild, George Smith, Milton Hartman, Wayne Westrick, Luther Dicks,
Harold Armbruster, Paul Mann, Donald Finkbeiner, Harold Sage, Junior
Gall, Robert Vaughn, Walter McAr-
thur, Roland Wittrup, Ellsworth
Koeble, Theron Klager, Norman Tanner, Wesley Steiner and Charles
