Got Four Bears
Fred Warner ana son, Carle-
ton, Charles Hubbard and Marlyn
Hatt of West Napoleon were more
tiian lucky on their hunting trip
to Seeney in the northern peninsula. They brought home this
week four bears and the larger
portion of their camp doe which
was permitted this year. The
mother bear was first discovered
by tracking her to her den and
the smaller bears still outside
were caught in the vicinity. These
black, soft and shaggy animals
will not weigh as big as they
looked. The larger one dressed
but not skinned weighed less
than 100 pounds ana the three
little bears tipped the scales at
30^ 25 and 23 pounds.^Brooklyn

"What has happened, has happened—forget it and look to the
future. Saline did not have an.
extra good season this year, but
that is over. The 1942 football
season is beginning right here
tonight."
Those were the words, by Dr.
Owen Cleary, president of Cleary
College, that brought a round of
applause from the 133 people
present at the third annual football banquet at the high school
last Thursday evening. Dr. Cleary,
in the roll of speaker for the affair, added those words to several
remarks made during the program on how the Saline team
should be much better during the
next season because q$ the fact
that all but two members of this
year's team will return. Those
words were few, but they climaxed an inspirational evening
which', we are sure, helped put a
fighting spirit into the boys who
will comprise the team another
year.
' Although the planning for the
banquet wasn't done until the
last few days, both- the meal and
the program were good and the
committees  deserve much  credit.
During the latter part of the
meal, which was served by the
senior class with the help of their
mothers and directed by Mrs. E.
Washburn, the home economics
teacher, the Glee Club sang several selections that were thoroughly
enjoyed.
Don Burkhart, who as ticket
manager succeeded in obtaining
a large crowd, introduced the
toastmaster. Hubert Bearss, and
he in turn took charge of the
program. Remarks were given
by Charles Collins, Boy Scout
leader;" Don Ford, president of
the Rotary Club; and Don Burkhart, who surprised everyone in
giving one of the best talks given
at any of these football banquets.
He gave praise to the 1941 team
for its fine sportsmanship and
spirit even in defeat.
An euphonium solo by Dorothy
Kohler, a violin solo by Miss
Gertrude Fredrick, and a tap
dance, number^from--Jackson furnished   entertainment.
Miss Marjorie Tennant, football quenn, was introduced ~ and
then Coach Pentecost made the
awards to the varsity. This year
a captain was elected for each
game and those chosen were:
Fred Grunewald, Belleville game;
Wilbert Bradley, Romulus; Keith
Cammet, Dundee; David Gordon,
Roosevelt; . Edward Anderson,
Clinton; Ellsworth .Koebbe,. CheK
sea; Wesley Jahnke, ' Flat Rock.
Other members to receive awards
were. Ralph- Sally,'-Eugene. Weed,
Harold Schaefer," Paul Hack, Weston -.ijaeussler! Ralph , JJphaus^
,p£le*ifirth: and Charles' Asrfdersoffi.'
' 'r"iTlien "came Dr. Clearys splendid
talk and to conclude the program
Mr. Sandow, of Michigan State
Normal . College showed pictures
on a trip through Mexico.
Even as this banquet was over
people started making plans on
how they would honor the boys
after their season next year.
CThe highway department had
meters inustalled to . count the
traffic on highways leading into
Saline for a few days last* week. '

Mr. LaRue stated that chiver

It isn't safe that you just stop,

one should carry as much windstorm as fire insurance, for if
you have a fire caused by wind
you collect just as much as your
windstorm policy calls for, and if
you have a very small fire but
suffer much damage from smoke
the chances are that your policy
doesn't cover the damage from
smoke. The speaker brought out
many other interesting facts.-
Chairman Wiedman is to be commended for prevailing on John
to   come   over   for   this   meeting.
The subject of decorations in
the business district was brought
up and it may result in Saline
merchants doing something about
it this month.
