not evaded. So the Tates started
for Michigan' and like 'many others
reached" Detroit after a boat trip
across the" lakes. ".Somehow, .they
were misdirected wljen leaving Detroit or missed di3rectiohs elsewhere
for after a long journey they found
themselves in Tecumseh, a lonig
way from Saline in those days. Sitting down to'figure, out what to do,
they decided to return to the east
Arriving in Detroit, they met anoth.-
er party of settlers wlio were on
their way 'to Saline and they persuaded tihme to join the party and
so they did.
Arriving in Saline, they took up
from the government all the land
which lies from a point nortu of the
present W. D. 3H3art residence oh the
Ann Arbor road to the depot in Saline. This was mostly forest. Like
others of their day they cleared the
land and converted .it into well tilled farm land. Trie original deed
was signed by Andrew Jackson,
3President of the United States.
As time passed, their son grew
to manhood and he, purchased the
place now occupied by Herman Rent-
scrler on US-112, --east of Saline.
3Mrs. Estella Tate Warner was their
daughter. We have'-had some inter-

Claude Drake of Ann Arbor was
over to make up attendance; also
Walter 3MacPeek. .
Charles Jewell, chlairman of the
month, furnished one of the best
programs we have had in a long
time—in fact it was so good that
we asked him if he would prepare
a resume of it for us, and he^e it

The Hub of the Universe
America has , every reason to: be
proud of her attainments in, mainy
directions, but in matters of agriculture she has much to learn from
the sturdy farmers of western 3Eu-
rope
H a circle is described with its
center of the Strait of Dover and
a radius of 250 miles, you will include much of England and 3Fran.ce
and all of Belgium and Holland. The
total area is much less than the
State of 3M3ic3higan but it includes
the richest and most higlily developed farming areas in the world.
These myriads of f anus halvte been
under cultivation for over 2,000
years, but the farm practices are of
Big Affair for Donald 3Fuller
and Ms "Hornets.'
The football boys of Saline High,
who this year put. on what is believed to be the hest exhibitions of i Grand Rapids in attendance.
Last year their annual convention
was held in St. Louis, Mo. This
week they have their yearly meeting
in Grand Rapids. G. A. Jewell of
our 3High school is an active member of the association and is in
the grid game this crfy has ever
witnessed, will be hxmored with a
banquet on Wednesday evening,
Dec. 13, in the auditorium.
The. Rotary Club and the American Legion have combined their efforts ahd are expecting to stage the
laitgest.affair of this kind ever held
in this" vicinity.
Important speakers have been secured for the evening and many
well-known figures will be present
for the occasion. Committee members have been busy for some time
preparing to make this a gala evening to commemorate the fine work
done by Coach Donald 3Fuller and
the Hornets this successful season.
The main speaker will be Clarence
Munn. of the U. of M. coaching' staff,
who, besides 3hiis talk will show moving pictures of either the 1939
3Michigan-Ohio State game or the
3Miehigan-Pennsylvania game. Another speaker will be Judge Gadola
of Flint.
The toastmaster will be "Bingo"
Brown of Ypsilanti, who is 3known
throughout the state as one of the
best and wittiest men to stand at
the head of a banquet table.
Among those who are expected to
attend are such members of the
University team as Czak, an end;
Sukup, a guard, and Wesjtfall, fullback. 3M3any other personalities will
also be there.
Representatives from the American Legion who are expected are
ter than when they began ages ago,
and far superior to our best Michigan soils; although they started
with a poor, light sandy soil in most
of the area, their crop-yields prove
their case.
The four-day ' program is filled
from end to end with Uve agricultural topics. And when such names as
3Eugene B. Elliott, state superintendent of public instruction; W. J.
Cameron of the Ford Motor Co.;
Ralph H. Wood, state department of
Kentucky; F. J. McSherry of the
war department at Wasliington;; John
Glavin, department of education,
Boston); Paul V. McNutt of &diiana
and James H. Pearson, department
of 3Education, Washington, appear
on the program, we may be sure it
is indeed worth "going to hear.

So the Tates started for Michigan' and like 'many others reached" Detroit after a boat trip across the" lakes. ".Somehow, .they were misdirected wljen leaving Detroit or missed di3rectiohs elsewhere for after a long journey they found themselves in Tecumseh, a lonig way from Saline in those days. Sitting down to'figure, out what to do, they decided to return to the east Arriving in Detroit, they met anoth.- er party of settlers wlio were on their way 'to Saline and they persuaded tihme to join the party and so they did. Arriving in Saline, they took up from the government all the land which lies from a point nortu of the present W. D. 3H3art residence oh the Ann Arbor road to the depot in Saline. This was mostly forest. Like others of their day they cleared the land and converted .it into well tilled farm land. Trie original deed was signed by Andrew Jackson, 3President of the United States. As time passed, their son grew to manhood and he, purchased the place now occupied by Herman Rent- scrler on US-112, --east of Saline. 3Mrs. Estella Tate Warner was their daughter.

Claude Drake of Ann Arbor was over to make up attendance; also Walter 3MacPeek. . Charles Jewell, chlairman of the month, furnished one of the best programs we have had in a long time—in fact it was so good that we asked him if he would prepare a resume of it for us, and he^e it is: The Hub of the Universe America has , every reason to: be proud of her attainments in, mainy directions, but in matters of agriculture she has much to learn from the sturdy farmers of western 3Eu- rope H a circle is described with its center of the Strait of Dover and a radius of 250 miles, you will include much of England and 3Fran.ce and all of Belgium and Holland. The total area is much less than the State of 3M3ic3higan but it includes the richest and most higlily developed farming areas in the world. These myriads of f anus halvte been under cultivation for over 2,000 years, but the farm practices are of Big Affair for Donald 3Fuller and Ms "Hornets.' The football boys of Saline High, who this year put. on what is believed to be the hest exhibitions of i Grand Rapids in attendance. Last year their annual convention was held in St. Louis, Mo. This week they have their yearly meeting in Grand Rapids. G. A. Jewell of our 3High school is an active member of the association and is in the grid game this crfy has ever witnessed, will be hxmored with a banquet on Wednesday evening, Dec. 13, in the auditorium. The. Rotary Club and the American Legion have combined their efforts ahd are expecting to stage the laitgest.affair of this kind ever held in this" vicinity. Important speakers have been secured for the evening and many well-known figures will be present for the occasion. Committee members have been busy for some time preparing to make this a gala evening to commemorate the fine work done by Coach Donald 3Fuller and the Hornets this successful season. The main speaker will be Clarence Munn. of the U. of M. coaching' staff, who, besides 3hiis talk will show moving pictures of either the 1939 3Michigan-Ohio State game or the 3Miehigan-Pennsylvania game. Another speaker will be Judge Gadola of Flint. The toastmaster will be "Bingo" Brown of Ypsilanti, who is 3known throughout the state as one of the best and wittiest men to stand at the head of a banquet table. Among those who are expected to attend are such members of the University team as Czak, an end; Sukup, a guard, and Wesjtfall, fullback. 3M3any other personalities will also be there. Representatives from the American Legion who are expected are ter than when they began ages ago, and far superior to our best Michigan soils; although they started with a poor, light sandy soil in most of the area, their crop-yields prove their case. The four-day ' program is filled from end to end with Uve agricultural topics. And when such names as 3Eugene B. Elliott, state superintendent of public instruction; W. J. Cameron of the Ford Motor Co.; Ralph H. Wood, state department of Kentucky; F. J. McSherry of the war department at Wasliington;; John Glavin, department of education, Boston); Paul V. McNutt of &diiana and James H. Pearson, department of 3Education, Washington, appear on the program, we may be sure it is indeed worth "going to hear. 3BOW3LING RESULTS CJaratc* Cook, Auctioneer.
