er gala affair as most programs put
on for Ford usually are. There was
entertainment with music and motion' pictures—some educational as
well as entertaining—running along
smoothly so that there wasn't a dull
moment.
Music was furnished all day by the
sound system rented from Jim Cathers, and 3Mr. Spencer, of the William
Ford Tractor Sales of Dearborn took
complete charge of the rest of the
program. He bought a moving picture equipped for sound and several
films, both silent and talking. He
had travel pictures, one iof the 3Ford
plant, one showing how the tractors
are built and many other short subjects.
The Mercury Rangers, four musicians from the Ford Company, presented many fine songs and musical
numbers to add to the enjoyment
of the occasion..
At noon a lunch of hot-dogs, coffee, rolls and pastry was served to
about 300.
Thirty prizes were gjiven away at
the end of the day. Oral 3Bassett
won, a $50 purchase slip on a new
tractor, Walter E. 3Miller of Ann
Arbor won a fog lamp and 3Ludwig
Meyer won an oil filter. 12 3-lb. cans
of grease were given away through
the courtesy of the Standard Oil
Company and several wash, lubrication and oil change joibs were given
by the Wiedman Auto Company.
This, the first of an annual event,
was quite successful and the farmers are looking forward to one like
it next year.
Rotary Box Social
A Financial Success
Xa     Spite    of     Counter-Attractions;
Prize   for   Handsomest   Box
Awarded Mrs. A. Gross.
The main activity of the Rotary
Club for the past week was the
sponsoring of a box social at the
auditorium 3Friday night. Although
they had to compete with the basketball tournament in. Ypsilanti for
a crowd, they drew quite a large
group. *
The   evening's   fun   started   early
and lasted late, with people enjoying J
'themselves  by  dancing  and  playing
games.   The music was furnished by
Jim Cather's sound system.
The auction started at about
10:30 with Clarence Cook as the
auctioneer. 3Eaeh bidder did a very
.good job of trying' to outsmart the
other fellow, but once in a while
they glot "stuck." Most boxes averaged around $1.50—the highest
price paid was $2.50. The club
cleared $27 and so was well satisfied
with  the .results.
Prize flor the mast beautiful box
was won by 3Mrs. Alwin Gross. It
was wrapped in cellophane and had
two large blue and white flowers
made from paper doilies decorating
the top.
The C. F.  Smith store donated a
large basket iof groceries which sold
for $4 and the Saline General hos- j
pital donated a beautiful basket  of
fruit  which  sold  for $2.50.
The crowd at the social was increased somewhat when many came
after returning from the' basketbaU
game.
At the regular meeting at The
Tavern last Thursday noon, C. A.
Curtiss  gave  an  interesting descrip
to   lively   discussions in "which  both
men and women participated.
