At   a   very   impressive   service
in  the formal lounge  of  Charles
McKenney  hall in Ypsilanti  Saturday  afternoon   Miss   Katherine
Elizabeth    Cathers,    daughter    of
Mr.   and   Mrs.   Fred   Cathers   of
Ypsilanti, formerly of Saline, and
Ernest O. Arthur, son of Mr. and
• Mrs.    Horace    Arthur,    Sr.,    ex-
' changed     their     wedding     vows.
An   improvised   altar   of   palms,
| and  ferns   centered with  a large
I low spread basket of gladioli, carnations  and roses,  was  arranged
before the stained glass window.
The   ceremony   took   place   at   4
o'clock  with   Rev.   Raymon   Bair
■ of the Presbyterian church read-
; ing the  single  ring  service.  The
bride was given in marriage by
her father. The lounge was lighted    only    by    candelabra    which
■ flanked the altar.
i     The bride chose for her maid of
_ honor her cousin, Miss Catherine
■ Jane Davies of Hastings, a soph-
i omore in the University. Bridesmaids were Miss Peggy Burke
of Ypsilanti and Miss Arlene Gall
of Saline. The groom's attendant was his brother, Horace Arthur, Jr., of Detroit. William
Arthur of Ann Arbor and James
Cathers of Ypsilanti, brothers of
the bride and groom, were
ushers. Miss  Clara Schroen play-
' ed the wedding marches  and ac- '
! companied her sister, Mrs. George'
i Wood, who  sang,  "Because"  and
[ "At     Dawning"     preceding    the
; service. They were old neighbors
and   close   friends   of   the   bride
and rendered the musical portion
of  the  service  with  beauty  and
impressiveness. |
The bride's dress was of floor j
length eggshell satin with a short \
train. The waist was fitted with ■'
long torso lines, tight fitting at i
the neck with lace collar trimmed;
with pearl beads; the long bishop ;
sleeves were pointed at the wrist, j
She wore a three-tiered fingertip'
illusion veil caught in a coronet;
of pearls. She carried a shower i
bouquet of white carnations and j
swansonia centered with a cor-!
sage of orchids which she wore \
on her wedding trip. The bouquet j
was held with a beautiful white j
bow with  long  streamers. [
The maid of honor and brides- j
maids   were   dressed   alike   with-L
formal   gowns   having   very   fulJ j
sky blue skirts with Royal bluei
velvet tightly fitted jackets but- i
toned    to    the   neck,    and   long;
sleeves.  They  wore  tiny hats  of'
matching velvet and carried bouquets   of   pink  roses,   except   the
maid   of   honor   whose   bouquet
was   Johanna   Hill   roses.
The bride's mother wore blue
crepe with navy accessories and
the groom's mother wore dark
blue velvet with black accessories. Both wore corsages of gardenias. |
A   reception   was   held   for   85 ]
guests   following   the   ceremony, i
The  long  table  from  which  refreshments were  served  was   attractive   with   a   lace   cloth   centered with a four-tiered wedding
cake     topped    with     a    mi-nature     bride     and     groom     and
flanked  on  either end with can. j
delabra. A fire glowed in the fire-1
place  sending  a  cheery  glow  in]
the  room.  The  bride and groom !
cut   the   first   piece  of   wedding
cake.   Ice   cream   with   wedding
bells was  served with the  cake.
Joanne Cathers, younger sister of
the bride had charge of the guest
book.    She   wore   a   soft   white!
ruffled dress with  pink rosebuds j
and   pink   ribbons   for   trimming. \
The bride and groom left on j
a ten-day motor trip to Florida, j
The groom is a graduate of the '
Saline high school and is employed i
in the drafting department of a j
large engineering firm in Detroit, j

SEEN AN' HEARD
C.Mr.   and Mrs.  Fred   Sellen returned to Saline January 15 after
spending    a    month    with    their
daughter,   Mrs.   Roy   Ward,   juid
family   in   Madison,   Wis.     They
experienced the cold wave which
swept   over   the   country   shortly
after New Year's and really had
it worse than we did here.    Out
there the thermometer dropped to
30 below zero and for two weeks
it stayed between 20 and 26 he-
low.    One   day  Mrs.  Sellen  went
downtown   and   found   that   the
thermometer was 24 below.    The
air was  clear  and with less  ijiu-
midity than we have around Here
and they think they did not suffer at  30' below  any mors   -Kan
we   did   at   12.     The   cold   W».
was   accompanied   by   snow,   lit
came in a deluge so severe t-iat
houses across the street could iiot
be seen. Some sidewalks were iVa-
passable and many country roSds
were snowbound. CAlfred Schmid

Mo., and is in training for ground

C.Ask  any of the guests  at the
Saline    Hatchery    banquet    what
kind of cake they had.   We doubt
if  they  could name  it  but  they
sure   ate   it     It   was  a   special
angel  food put  together with a
concoction of whipped- jello, whipped cream and eggs.    Super "de-
lish!"    C,Mr.    and   Mrs.    Nathan
Traill have come from Iron Mountain and will reside in the Alber

is   an   engineer   at   the   bomber
plant.   CMrs.   Reuben   Feldkamp
received a nice surprise for her
birthday.     A  package  from»-Vkr
two sons in service on the west

CSafety   patrols   the   past  week
for school were George Underbill,
Carl   Miller,   David   Martin   and
Robert  Love.     Bobby   Ceok  was

school and also on Michigan avenue. CHow would you like to hike
14  miles  in one  day  and  eat -a

Perhaps it doesn't appeal to you
but   we   know   a   bunch  of   Boy
Scouts who  had  a glorious  time
doing it.    With rosy cheeks  and
happy faces they returned to tell
of  their adventure.    Happy  children! May they always have the
inspiration and advantages of the
Boy     SCout    movement.    ,C.H__v»
about * that littie  -wafer  of  soap
which is all that is left of a once
highly prized toilet soap,  or the
more ordinary bar that you used
when   you   washed   the   dishes?
Don't throw it away.    Some people in  this  world  would be glad
to get it.    We still have plenty
of fats and oils but it would be
well to conserve them lest we be
faced  with  a  shortage   and  find
ourselves   rationed.   COld   metal,
rubber,  paper,  is to be collected
and salvaged. Probably your own
little pile seems insignificant, But
multiply that little bundle by every American home and see what
the national saving will be.    Instead of burning old newspapers,
advertisements,   wrapping   paper,
letters, etc., put them in bundles
or in a bag.    The junk collect-Twill be  glad to pay you for it
Very recently a large paper mill
in Kalamazoo was forced to shut
down   for   several   days   because
they had no scrap paper to mix
in their processing plant.   At the
same time if every home in Kalamazoo and the country between
there and here had been searched,
probably    enough    waste    paper
eould have been  accumulated  to
bridge them over.   There's an old
Scotch   saying,   "Many  a. mickle
makes   a   muckle"   and   nowhere
is that proved more true than in
the    collection   of   scrap   metal,
paper  and  rubber.   C.The  rubber
situation has already made a difference in travel. Railroads know
it,   air   lines   have   discovered   it
and  bus   services   are   overtaxed
Greater   neighborliness   is   being
experienced as one car does the
errands for several families now
where formerly each sped about
their    errands   with    scarcely    a
wave  of the hand at the other.
CRemember the  registration for
civilian defense.  It  may seem a
far  cry from  your  present  routine, but in an emergency it would
save time and confusion to turn
quickly to the files and know just
whom to call for cooking, taking
care of children, getting messages
around   the   community   if   telephone lines were out of cornniis-
sion.   If the electric service were
disrupted it would make changes
in almost every home. But grandmother lived without it.   She had
different equipment    Perhaps we
may   never   need   to   return   to
those methods, but if we do, how
much better to perform the necessary routine of daily living under a systematic plan than to run

Annual Report Of
Library Association
The -41st annual meeting of
the Saline Library Association
was held at the Library on Friday evening, January 9, 1942 at
7:30  o'clock.
The meeting was called to order
by the vice president Mrs. Carl
A.   Curtiss.
The annual reports of the secretary and treasurer were read
and   accepted.
The following board members
were elected for a term of three
years: Mrs. George W. Barr,
Mrs. Edward A. Clark, Mrs. Roy
Rogers  and Miss Julia Gordon.
The Library has been open each
week on Wednesday and Saturday from 2-5 in the afternoon
and from 7-9 in the evening with
Mrs. Lucille Henderson as librarian.
! During the year the card catalog system begun in the previous
year was completed. Eleven
1 years of The National Geographic
Magazine were bound and put
upon the shelves.
In  1941 the Library circulated
j. 6,099 books and 2,964 magazines.
i.    Forty-seven   new    books    have
• been added this year and a num-
. ber have been added by donations.
The    Library    has    had    at    six
months intervals  100 books from
the  State Library.
The following magazines are
available at the Library:
The American, Popular Mechanics, Reader's Digest, Good Housekeeping, and Child Life, The
Saturday Evening Post and The
Country Gentleman are donated
by Mrs. Curtiss. The National
Geographic Magazine is given to
Us by Mrs. LaVern Bassett of Detroit. A new magazine, Bread
and Butter, has been given to the
Library  by   Mrs.   Unterkircher.
The Saline Woman's Club gave
us a gift of $25 to use as we
saw fit A magazine rack was
the choice of the board to buy
with this money. Upon investigation it was found that the
price of such a rack was prohibitive. .The money has been set
aside to use at some later date.
After the Association meeting
the board held their regular January meeting. The following officers were elected: President,
Mrs. Carl A. Curtiss; 1st' vice
president, Miss Julia Gordon;
2nd vice president, Mrs. Roy Rogers; secretary, Mrs. George Wood;

Lucille Henderson, -chairman;
Mrs. Francis Lockwood and Mrs.
Homer Kuebler.
The board appreciates the interest shown by those patronizing
the Library during the past year
and those who have helped in
any way to make our year successful.
This report is respectfully submitted.

Will   Tackle   Ypsi
Roosevelt   There
Tomorrow   Night.
Tomorrow night Coach Pentecost will take his basketball team
to Ypsilanti to meet the Roosevelt Rough Riders, who seem to
hold a wand over the Hornets.
During the two y,ears that Mi.
Pentecost has coached the local
team, Roosevelt has bowled them
over, although some of the Saline
teams have been far superior. Tomorrow night the Hornets are
hoping to break that jinx as well
as the one that has been hovering
over them during the past four
games. In the four Saline has
come out withi a record of three
losses and one win and yet they
have scored nine more po-nts
than their opponents. They \vc~
from Chelsea, 36 to 27; lost to
Adrian St. Mary's by one point;
j lost to Romulus by three points;
j and last Friday they lost a 32-31
! contest to the Milan Reds on the
] Saline  court.
i In the Milan contest the Hor-
' nets played the best they have
. this season. Before game time the
! "experts" didn't give the local
. team a chance, but after the
I first few minutes they knew that
i Milan would have a battle on
, their hands.
J The .lead see-sawed back and
! forth during the first period and
j Milan had a lead of 7 to -5 when
i that quarter ended. The second
j period was almost as even, but
j the Reds managed to hold on to
i their lead and increase it to 3 2-9
j at half-time.
! In the first few minutes of the
I third .period the Milan offense
' got to rolling and they ran the
. score up to 18-9 immediately but
i the Hornets settled down and
I pared the lead. The third quar-
: ter ended with the score reaching
i 22 to 16.
j    The teams ran along evenly un-
j til   there   were   about   two   and
one-half minutes to go.    At tiiat
, time Westfall, Milan's star guard
1 was  taken  out  on  personals  and
i the Milan defense crumbled.    The
• Hornets then rallied with baskets
, by     Don    Kelsey     and     Russell
; Bearss.     Dale   Hirth   then   sunk
two   baskets   in   the   final    half-
minute   to   fall   just   one   point
short.
Right after Hirth's finat basket
Saline called time out, with about
10 seconds remaining to play, but
the timer didn't stop the clock
and time ran out. The roar of
the crowd kept the referee's
whistle from being heard. There
was a lot of argument afterward
and people milled about for several minutes, trying to learn what
was wrong. It was finally decided in Milan's favor.
Kelsey led the Saline attack
with 12 points to his credit as
Bearss chalked up 7. Hawarney
scored 11 points for the Milan
Reds.

Members of Rotary:
Hastening away as I did no
doubt needs a little explaining.
But things developed rapidly the
last week or ten days at home
so had to act quickly. Expecting
a call to return to the Enlisted
Reserve Corps, which quite defi-
I nitely would have returned me
\ to my old arm of service, the 2nd
Infantry, I decided an investigation of enlistment to another
branch of service would prove
worthwhile, so Air Corps ground
work was the only other choice.
So I decided to apply promptly
That was the first Thursday 1
missed Rotary recently, and very
.sorry to do so, but I had to act
at once.
I was just beginning to get
into the swing of things again,
and will surely miss Thursday
noon luncheons and programs,
but I know you will understand
that conditions outside of my
jurisdiction have made it so.
May the club grow in numbers
and usefulnes for "Service above
self."
My very best regards to all of
you indivldualy, I am.
Sincerely yours,
Al.  Schmid.
P. S.—So far I have been
lucky—I haven't . "peeled ^. any

Saline Milk Producers
Meet Next Wednesday
The Saline Milk Producers will
meet Wednesday, Feb. 4, at 7
p. m. in the school auditorium.
The seniors will serve a banquet
at 7 o'clock to members and
wives   of   the   Saline  milk local.
Lewis' miner organizers are
even accusing farmers of planning get-to-gether dinners. What
would they have farmers do? Ask
John L. Lewis for their daily
bread?
Every member and wife or some
other member of the family should
attend this annual meeting and
hear Howard Wilson of MUford,
a director of the association, and
Marty Lynch of Mayville, a member of the marketing committee,
give a report of the work the association is doing. If we have
correct information we usually
make right decisions, if we have
false statements and wrong information we are apt to make wrong
decisions.
Music for the program will be
furnished by a quartet from the
high school.
