We have been very careful in selecting our brands of
Fertilizers and feel we have what it takes to produce
bumper crops, when other conditions are considered.
Use Welch "Independent Plant Foods"

Or Swift's "Red Steer"
non-acid forming Fertilizers
And I think you will agree there are none better.

1937 Convention Of
Rotary International
Interesting Report Given by Edward
Staebler, Delegate, of Ann
Arbor, Last 33mrsday.
Mrs. Staebler and I left for- New
York on- Monday, May 17. After
passing-.through, customs, formalities
on-the Windsor side of the Ambsissa-
dor bridge the hands of the clock
.pointed to .moon. This being the
meeting day of.; the Windsor Rotary
Giub I availed myself of, the opportunity to have luncheon..there and
t "was glad I did so for -the governor
general of Ontario was .-the speaker.
We! arrived to New, Yorktwo-days
before-our boat sailed:-but-we needed
the extra- time to- make "final; arrangements for .our "trip—procuring
additional visas on. oiir jrpassport,
purchasing French and Germaii
travel. funds, etc. Aiso, it was
necessary to deliver our- automobile
at the pier of the boat cpmpany.'On
the morning of the day- before the
boat sailed. This also-gave us an
opportunity to attend-the meeting
of the New York Rotary Club! The
meeting was in -the nature of a
going-away party and was attended
by hundreds of Rotarians and. their
families not only from the- United
States. Canada and Mexico but also
from South America, Hawaii, Australia and countries of the Far East,
gathered in New York city to sail
on two of the- twelve boats, charter-V
ed by Rotary, -sailing that week.
.When we arrived on--the pier to
embark we found many Rotarians
of the New York Club there to greet
us, clasp our hands and wish us bon
voyage. This was; a fine Rotarian
send-off and put us in a happy traxtie'
of mind for the start of our two
weeks' voyage across   the Atlantis.
We sailed on the S. S. Roma, of the
Italian Line, which travels the
southern route. As is always the
way when a lot of Rotarians get
together it was easy to get acquainted and make many new friends.
There was no lack of entertainment
most of it provided by Rotarians
and members of their families. Two
formal Rotary meetings were held,
as you will see from the menus I
brought with me.
On our way to Nice we made
five stops. The first one at
Funchall, a city on one of the
Madiera Islands, where we spent
an entire day. It was a novel experience to ride in a conveyance that
had runners instead of wheels, pulled

School Opens With An
Increased Attendance
The four upper grades of the high
school, largely due to the increased
numbers in the ninth grade, show
an increase over a year ago by 18%.
The ninth grade this year probably
has the. largest enrollment of any
grade ever in attendance at the
local school, a total of 63 reporting
the first day. In this large group,
40 are registered - from outside the
Saline district.
The enrollment by grades- follows:
1937   1936
.363 • 349
There are still several children to
report as yet- - -Some have been ill,
and unable to start at once. Others
were unable to begin before the sec-
ondweek.
The chief difference of course is in
the enrollment of the four upper
grades,—158 a year ago and 188 at
this time.
Other School Items of Interest
A new policy has been adopted
this year which, will add a mueih
needed protection to all students'
booiks and supplies. Each and every
student in the six upper grades has
been provided with a very substantial combination lock at a yearly rental tee of 25c. This policy
alone should save many lost rubbers,
etc., saying nothing about gym shoes,
pencils and books. With more than
230 pupils moving about the corridors between classes and at other
times it has been too easy for
things to get misplaced and later
lost  perhaps.
Another policy was adopted for
this year, or rather an old one was
modified. Class-fees in certain subjects such as typewriting and chemistry have been collected for several
years. This has been due to the
fact that, these courses require a
considerable of extra supplies such
as those in chemistry for use in
experiments, and in typing, ribbons
and the upkeep and replacement of
the typewriters.   Some schools make
a business of exchanging typewriters
by oxen. Another thrilling ride was ■ .^j, three years> use. That has not

a runway paved with small cobble-j^re carefully looked after and with
stones, in sleds pulled or rather held i some overhauling have been used

Our next stop was at Casablanca: other subjects added to the fee

Misses  Esther Gross  and. Elizabeth
Harwood Recipients as Result
of TExceHent Records.
When the University of iMichigan
begins a new school yeacr next
week, Saline high. school will have
the honor of two of its graduates" attending as .recipients of alumni undergraduate scholarships. These are
awarded by- the. Alumnae_.jand University . of ..Michigan- clufbs'of the
state andremits all tuition .fees at
the university.
The "jEutmouncement of the 1937
freshmen winners, wjiich included
six from ;vgasht«_aw county and. 12
others in the comity whq]j>eca\ise_pf
high;_ sd_.diorship.. Records tikd .their
scholarships renewed for "another
year,4.were .made..recently .'by- 35ri
Clarence g. Yoakum, vice president
of the iroiversity, upon recommendations submitted by ,l}ie varjous'J-Ebh-
igan Alumnae., club.
Miss Esther Gross, daughter of
■Mx..and S/lxs. Ejiward Gross of this
city, will .be a .junior in the University literary., school, this", fall. She
■received her scholarship .upon graduation- from high, school in 1935 -and
because she has.. maintained a high
scholastic record, the scholarship has
been renewed each year.
Miss Elizabeth Harwood, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. William. S. -Harwood
of Pittsfield- township, will . be a
sophomore in the school pi -music
and literary" school this fall. She
received her scholarship upon her
graduation from -high school last
year, and because of a good record
maintained has had it renewed for
this coining year.
The total for the state receiving
these honors numbers 166. Since the
scolarships provide for remission of
semester fees, the. grant represents
approximately $19,000 this year, the
largest in the seven years since the
plan was established.
Recommendations of the Washtenaw winners were made by a joint
committee for the University of
Michigan Club of Ann Arbor and the
Michigan Alumae Club of Ann Arbor, of which Emory J. Hyde was
chairman.
Of the 18 residents of the county,
11 are from Ann Arbor, three from
Manchester, two from Saline, and
one each from Dexter and Chelsea.
CARD  OF THANKS
I wish to extend my sincere thanks
for the flowers, gifts, cards, etc., received by me while I was in the hospital and since returning home.

palace of the former sultans as well
as the palace of the present sultan,
who now is merely a figure-head.
The country is really ruled by a
governor general, whose palace we
also visited and who spoke to us,
after which we were served champagne, wines of various kinds and
cakes.
The next stop was at Gibraltar,
the day .after-the .bombing of the
"Deutschland." The wounded were
in the English hospital there. We,
visited the old. fortifications. The
modern ones - on top"* of the mountain are not open to visitors. A
short trip to the Spanish border was
made where some of our party were
permitted by the guards to-step
across -and put foot-.ch Spanish--.soil.
Everything - -seemed peaceful. -there
with no indication whatever of:. the
fighting going on -in other parts, of
.that- country.
The next morning oqr boat arrived
at Algiers, a busy city on the north
coast of Africa, also in French
•Mofoc.co. Our next stop was at
Naples. After a sightseeing. trip
about the city-we were: entertained
at luncheon by. the -Rotary Club ni
Naples. The city isaa-bedecked with
flags, and festoons...not hr-our honor
but that of flie.Jting,who wa^ .expected there-the next day. We were
impressed with the war craft assembled in the harbor of Naples,
about a hundred, consisting of battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, etc.
Late that afternoon we sailed for
our final destination, which we
reached the next forenoon. We
disembarked at Villefranche, about
five miles from. Nice; because the
depth of water, at Nice was not
sufficient to admit large vessels.
We were met by a welcoming corn-
do not pay for the equipment at all.
But the cost of foods and some
sewing materials is met through the
fee plan.
Purely academic subjects such as
English, mathematics and. Latin require no extra supplies, so no fee is
required. In time no doubt all fees
will probably be  abandoned.
This year also marks the .first in
which the requirement for all to
pursue the subject of geometry has
been removed. Last year the requirement for. algebra was lifted.
These changes are in conformance
with the practice-? in many high
schools throughout the country, the
theory being that aside from those
who expect to go on jt» college,
probably, other, subjects will do
more real good and can be put to
considerably more . practical use.
.Hence the rising popularity 'of 'such
subjects &S commercial, agriculture,
home economics .and shop work.
And still with the bah 'Ofi -Of algebra
even last year,-' fully more than
half of the large ninth grade halve
eledted algabrar for' "this- year.
A- slight change in assembly period
policy is to -be followed "this year
also. Instead "of hiving- a special
activity period- set aside as- such,
one period of classes• will Womitted
each Veek on assembly days. "This
will mean that each period of "classes
will need' to be omitted but once in
each two months. Other-activities
such as music, gym work and debating have heen arranged within the
regular schedule. This should' facilitate matters considerably' for those
who must always go home at once
after school.
"Possibly one of the most noticeable changes for the new School
year has been the slight changes
in the time schedule.    This year all

easier to lengthen the-recess periods
even and provide'the gym periods for
the upper grades.
Still another matter as a change
has been introduced this year" by
way of seating the first grade and
kindergarten in the same home
room, and permitting the first- grade
to use a smaller adjoining room for
recitktions. Undoubtedly this will
not prove ideal, -but it so happens
that it would be'much easier to take
.care of each grade separately if the
rooms were available. There are
five classrooms for the grades,—
kindergarten to the sixth, and there
are seven separate groups. It is believed that with the Toom situation
as it is -it is just about as good arrangement as now in operation as
it is possible to have without endangering the privileges of a far
greater number.
