The Ford project in Saline is one
of the most interesting developments
that has taken place in this vicinity
for several years.
Saline received its name from the
salt springs found in it. Here the
buffalo and deer came to drink; incidentally, the Indians found a camp
site as they traveled to and fro
across the state from what is now
Detroit to Chicago at the other end
of the great lakes. These condition's
made this an ideal lication for
the settlement in later years of the
white pioneers who came from the"
east to clear the land and till the
soil.
Years  passed and brought many

Wedding March as the young couple
entered the church, the bride leaning
on the arm of her father by whom
she was given away in marriage.
George Martin of Ann Arbor, brother
of the bride, sang "Because" and "O
Promise Me" with deep expression
and very tenderly.
The bride wore a white satin gown
with princess lines, puffed sleeves
which tapered and were close fitting
at the wrist. A panel of fine tucks
provided a becoming design for the
back of the dress and fell in soft
fullness terminating in a short train.
A wreath of sweet peas adorned her
hair, and she carried a bouquet of
white roses and gypsiphilia tied with
silver and white satin streamers.
Miss Ruth Lydia, sister of the
bride, was maid of honor. She was
charming in a lace gown of pastel
blue, floor length with pink satin
sash and slippers, and carried a bouquet of fragrant pink sweet peas.
Hugh Austin, brother of the groom,
was best man. Frank Scott of
Wayne and Lawrence Rowsey of Detroit were ushers.   Mrs. Scott played
