Wonderful   Exhibits,   Numerous Booths, Splendid
Programs Mark Event.
Even as we write these lines the
Future Farmer's Fair is in full,
swing at the school. The gymnasium
has resounded to the clang of hammer and the buzz of the saw as busy
hands drove nails and sawed boards ]
to fit aiid make the booths. Then
came the merchants of various lines
and presto! With coils of colored
paper, gay advertising banners and
gorgeous displays, the large room
was soon transformed into a hive
of industry and beauty as well.
The array of fruits and vegetables
was almost too tempting to resist.
They were placed according to color
and size and added thus to • their
attractiveness.
The room was filled with interesting booths along each side, across
the ends and the stage was filled
also, not to mention the tent of
livestock and pets outside the east
entrance.
Probably    the    most    frequented
was the home economics booth, in •
charge   of   Betty   Gordon,   Lorena i
Hieber and Cora Gleason.    Here be- [
hind a neat white counter with artistic lettering in the high school colors
telling  you  that  for  5c you could ;
purchase a hot dog- the girls worked '
hard and long serving visitors with :
hot dogs garnished with their favor- j
ite relish. .   |
A few feet away was the Saline
Bakery booth with its rows of tempting goodies—cakes, rolls, friedcakes^,
pastry and good wholesome bread. A
most attractive background was provided by an array of plants and_
flowers grown by the girls and boys
of the garden and flower project
groups this summer. Here, too, the
Future Farmers had a radio which
you might purchase for 10c, that is
if you were  the lucky one.
The York Mills had a fine display
of flour in all sizes of sacks, pictures
of various kinds being used on the
different brands. Not only the pastry
flour but pancake as well made us
think of frosty mornings, and the
thought of pancakes and syrup actually made us hungry.
Much   building  is   being  done   at
this time throughout the country and
the Saline Mercantile Company had
an exhibit which was of interest to _
the builder, remodeler, and the aver- j
age home owner alike.    Paint, roofing, shingles, equipment for the barn '
as well as new ideas for the home,
were  pictured  and samples on dis- ,
Play. j
Cole's Feed Store featured a fine ;
line of Larro feeds, different com- j
binations for different stock, egg
mash, cow feed, etc. Much interest
was manifested in their contest in
which the guests were invited to
guess the number of tablets in a
glass fruit jar, the correct answer
winning a fine reward. j
The Chevrolet booth with its large
banner and gay bunting gave an apt
command—"Hold everything for the
1938 Chevrolet."    Then one  noticed ,
the   beautiful   steering   wheel,   the •
gear shift knob and other accessor- i
ies. ]
Across the room the Ford exhibit
also displayed accessories, head
lights, tail lights, radiator shields,
batteries and a radio. Occasionally
one listened to favorite programs by
means of this booth.  " '
The envying eyes of many a boy
roamed  toward   the  shiny, new bi- i
cycle in the Gross Hardware exhibit j
But there were also individual drink- [
ing cups for cows, a tractor tire and
auto heaters. ;
Haarer's market had a tempting
display of hams and others meats,
plus a fine variety of canned vegetables and relishes to tempt the ap^
petite. One really should not need i
appetizers with such food to eat.    j
The Shell gas display arranged by
B. E. Dodge had a fine variety of
road maps, samples of oils and the
various containers in which it is
regularly sold. The traditional colors which mark Shell stations were
used in the decorations.
Every town must have a good funeral director, although he is the
one man every family is hoping they
will not need to call. Yet when the
time comes, how welcome he is and
how graciously he responds. The
Dietiker Funeral Home was designed in Halloween colors with black
cats and all. Here also was the interesting display of insurance literature arranged by A. C. Lange
There was good advice on how to
avoid accidents, why insure the home
and personal property coverage as
well.
' The Saline Valley Farms, with pictures taken in the. cannery, had also
samples of their work—spiced crab
apples, grape juice in fency jars,
pickles of many kinds, jelly and
fruits.
Keveling's booth was arranged in
the nature of a health exhibit A
large copy of a painting of halibut
fishing and then the modern tablets
-which supply those vitamins; vegetables in- tempting, luscious colors,
and the tablets in which "these vitamins are found, made one think how
easy it is for us nowadays to maintain proper food balances and how
easy to obtain the missing vitamins.
Herman Heininger's exhibit of International and McCormick-Deering
machinery was well portrayed in pictures of the various implements. A
milking machine also proved that
the modern farmer may do all the
work today with the aid of machinery, thus finding release from the
drudgery which our forefathers had
to endure. '. *

Jfwell-Hoeft Wedding
Saturday   Afternoon
Young Couple Left After Ceremony
On Trip to Wisconsin and Ohio;
Will Make Their Home Sere.
At a wedding impressive in its
simplicity Mildred Hoeft, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hoeft of
Saline, became the bride of Robert
M. Jewell, son of John Jewell of
Milan, Saturday afternoon in the
home of the bride's parents.
Baskets of bronze dahlias before
a fireplace covered with evergreens,
with groups of white tapers, formed
a.background for the ceremony performed by Rev. Adolf Lederer of the
Trinity Lutheran church.
The ceremony opened with a violin solo'played by Donald Hack, accompanied by his sister Dorothy at
the piano, after which to the strains
of Lohengin's wedding march the
bridal party took their places.
The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, was dressed in
white cut velvet cut on molded lines
in Moyen age effect with a sweeping
train, small buttons down the back,
the sleeves wrist length and a
rhinestone clip at the neck. White
satin sandals completed the costume
She carried a colonial bouquet of
Johanna Hill roses with baby mums
tied with French chiffon, and a clus
ter of gardenias in her hair,
Miss Doris Hack, cousin of the
btide, acted as bridesmaid and wore
k-'floor length gown of rust ehiffon
velvet made in the Joan of Arc fash-
iori^-with wliich she wore gold san
dais and carried a colonial bouquet
of talisman roses. The bride's younger brother, Alfred, Jr., carried the
ring concealed in a white satin pillow. Ivan Jewell was his brother's
best man.
-Mrs. Hoeft chose for her daughter's wedding a simple frock of
black crepe with which she wore a
shoulder bouquet of yellow baby
mums and rosebuds.
A three course dinner was served
to about 40 relatives and friends
after the ceremony. Tall tapers in
silver candelabra on both ends of a
tiered wedding cake with wreaths
of smilax decorated the table.
After the reception the couple left
for a trip to Wanatosa, Wis., aiid
will return _by way of Bowling
Green, Ohio, where they will visit
relatives of the groom.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Jewell are high
school graduates. They received
ftiany lovely gifts, and will be at
home to their friends after November 1st in the Bredernitz apartments
on Harris street.
NEW OH. WELLS TO BE
DRILLED  NEAR  MILAN
Milan may blossom forth as the
new center of another oil field in
Michigan. The location of oil in the
subsurface around Milan has been
known for years and drilling activities have taken another impetus during the past, few months.
The presence of natural gas east
of Milan and traces. of oil in the
water and along some of the surface streams has made it possible
for a number of farms to become
equipped with gas produced on their
own land in this section.
Drilling operations have started
on the Fink farm, five miles south of
Milan, a little east of Azalia, and is
said to be in the same oil bearing
strata as was the well drilled last
year near the Rice cemetery.
Last week the Wolverine -Drillers
of Detroit were granted a permit to
start drilling on-the.land of Arthur
Faust, north of Milan. The farm is
located on Judd road, just south of
the State hospital property. «The
company has leased the land from
Mr. Faust and drilling operations are
expected to start within a short
time.—Milan Leader.
MOTHER
Whose love can equal the love of a
mother;
Whose, the devotion so loyal and
true;
Who suffered so much, with such joy
for another;
' Who   Worked  with such pleasure
as mother for you?
We hail with delight the friendship
of others,
We revel in love of the- friends we
have won;
Yet where do we find a friendship
like mother's
Unbroken 'til death calls and life's
work is done?
TO THE PUBUC
All are urged to read the election
notices on page 8, wherein is given
notice of the request of the Detroit
Edison Company of a renewal of
their- franchise in Saline City and
Township. If you are of age and
enjoy the service rendered by the
Detroit Edison Company you are
Urged to vote. It is not necessary
that one be a taxpayer to do so.
Abraham Lincoln was as just and
as generous to the rich and wellborn as to the poor and humble—a
thing rare among politicians.—John
Hay.
If the government ever goes into
the business of building and operating chicken ranches we are expecting to hear that the eggs cost fifteen
cents per unit.
Did you know that a billion dollars in $1 bills would eover a fair
sized city? (For an idea -of what
that means, imagine the top of tlie
nearest roof ooverect=wlth. $1 feiBs.)
