The speakers on the program were
interesting and many important announcements were made. Roscoe
Bonisteel, Ann Arbor attorney well
known around Saline, acted as
toastmaster, and speakers were
Judge Paul Gadola of Flint, ClaTr
ence Munn, University of Michigan
line coach, and Bob Westfall, University of 3M3ichigan fullback, from
Ann Arbor.
Coach 3Don 3Fuller of Saline High
awarded the numerals and letters to
this year's squad and introduced
Captain "Tuny" Klager whoi in turn
introduced the captain-elect for the
1940 squad, 3Bernard Bamer.
3During the evening announcement
was made of the donation of about
four acres of land to thfe school for
use as an athletic field. The bequest
was made by Mrs. Ella Henne as a
memorial to her son, the late Edward F. Henne, who at the time of
his death was president of' the school
baard. The property is located just
north of the school. -       '.
Annoupnicement was also, made
that Mis. C. F. Unterkircher was
presenting the school.a trophy and
that it would be- used as tiie prize
each year in the intra-mural program.
The speakers all tried to outdo
one another during the evening after
Don Fuller told a story while introducing Captain Klager. It was about
a group of boys who were electing a
captain for their baseball team.
Each one claimed that he was the
one to be elected. One thought that
because of his hitting ability he
should be the leader and another
claimed that he was the best man
because of being such a good fielder.
Finally a little red-headed boy stepped up and saiid, "It I'm not elected
captain I'll turn my dad's bull into
the pasture where we play." He
was  elected.
Said the toastmaster, 3Mir. Bonisteel, "As for ■ that story—it's a lot
of bull." Then shortly afterward
Judge Gadola claimed that when he
was introduced • they must have led
in a couple of hulls.
Judge Gadola's talk was quite appropriate for the occasion and the
times. He told of how different this
type of warfare on the gridiron is
from the warfare in distant countries, of how it is a freindly oomhai.
with no bloodshed. He claims the
honor of having been on the state
championship football team from
Owosso baick in 1903. The speech led
into the topic of how communism is
spreading throughout the United
States and of how they are trying to
get into our schools. He told of how-
some institutions of learning were allowing this to goi on until the leader
was arrested for a criminal offense.
He made one statement which isn't
known well, "Hitler is not a German, Stalin is not a Russian, and
Napoleon was not a Frenchman.
Now foreigners are trying to rule
us."
Coach Munn showed in moving
pictures the entire 3M3iehigan-Penn-
sylvamia football game. Tom. Harmon's spectacular run was in this
film. After that he showed a reel
of some professional football.
Much credit should be given' 1to the
Legion Auxiliary for the work they
did ini serving the fine dinner and to
the Rotary Club and the American
Legion in making it a success. Committee members for the banquet
were Don Ford, Dr. Gordon Prout,
Charles Jewell, 3Don Burkhairt, T, M.
Clay, Heory Ormsby and 3M3ax Fosdick.

Lost to University High Friday Evening   by a   Score   of
23 to 16.
AN  ORDINANCE
An Ordinance to amend the Saline
Traffic Ordinance relative to the regulation of the use by motor vehicles
of the public streets atnd highways
withini the city limits of Saline,
Michigan, and to provide penalties
for the violation thereof.
THE CITY OF SAL3TNE ORDAINS
the following ' amendment . to the
Traffic Ordinance of the City of
Saline passed by the Saline City
Council on the 12th day of June,
1939,   to-wit:
Any  person who drives a vehicle
upon   a   highway, or   street   at   a
speed in excess of that indicated as
  j foUows   for   the   particular   district

Aaron Luckhardt, one of our best,jates   ^   ^^   ^   careful   3!^^
G. Claude Drake of Ann Arbor
and J. Alfred Boswofth of Ypsilanti
were also guests.
Old Man Jink seems to be following the Hornets' basketball team
just the same as he followed their
football team.    This time it was the
illness of Melvin Schaefer which kept    _    __   ,_ rf ^^ „^ „.
him out of the University High game j means  exchange  of gifts and a lot
at Ann Arbor Friday evening. Saline : of fun.
put up a gallant fight, though, andj
lost by a 23  to  16 score.    The loss
was  the   first   in   three   starts   this
season.
For 'the first half Saline and U.
High fought an even battle and Hornets came out iof it with a 9-8 lead
and held it until the middle of the
third period.
Captain Wesley Stfeiner was the
Hornet scoring leader' with five
points and Bernie Bamer and Paul
Bassett scored four points each.
Owen Johnson and Captain Johnny 3Ehlers sharked the University
High attack with eight and seven
points respectively.
Warden Jackson of the Prison of
Southern Michigan at Jackson was
the guest speaker at the meeting of
the Rotary Club, at The Tavern last
Thursday.
Mr. Jackson is a large man and
should inspire a reasonable degree
of awe and respect on the part of
his charges, which number a few
hundred more than 5,000, and the
prison is the world's largest. Of all
the inmates; only 37 may be termed
incorrigibles.
The speaker's listeners learned a
lot in a short time; that the "institution has 4,200 acres of farm land
under cultivation from which they
obtain enough produce in the way
of beans, peas, etc., which when
canned supply all of the other state
prisons and asylums; that 98 per
cent of the inmates will eventually
be released and that it is up to 'the
state to fit them to again take their
rightful places in the world. They
are taught "that is to their advantage to fit themselves for a better
life' and a large percent of them
strive to do sa
While 3Michigan has the largest
prison in the world she does
not have any more men in penal institutions than any other industrial
state. The prison maintains a "splendid recreational program and the
prisoners eat and sleep better than
a-great many who are outside of
the walls. 800 men take advantage
of the chance to work on the farm
after pursuing courses of study prescribed by 3Michigan State College
and seem to be anxious to' follow
this line when released. Incidentally, the farm makes a profit.
