FSA Will Make Loans
To Repair Machinery
The Farm Security Administration will lend money to pay for
Tepairing and conditioning- farm
machinery belonging to its borrowers or to other farmers who
meet the requirement of FSA
loans, Donald Kline, county FSA-
supervisor, has announced.
"These loans are to insure that
production of needed food by,
families co-operating with the
FSA will not be curtailed next
year because of farm machinery
that is in bad shape," Mr. Kline
said. "The 'Food for Victory"
program must not fail because it
is just as essential to defense as
is the industrial program of our
factories. '.
"Farmers must bear in mind
that with farm prices higher than'
they have been in years, they
miist make the most of their op-'
portunity to produce in abundance. Machinery will become
soarcer, and no doubt, pieces of
new machinery and parts will be
higher, so it will pay each farmer to check his equipment now
and make the necessary repairs.
Machinery should be put in good
condition now, even though it
might last another season."
Mr. Kline said that eligible!
borrowers also will be loaned
money for the purchase of machinery if necessary, although!
joint purchase and use of new
equipment by several families is
being urged to meet anticipated
shortages and price increases in
new machinery next spring.

THE FIRST STEP
In Obtaining a Real Estate Loan
When you want to secure a real estate loan
it is important to get started right. The. way
to do is to come to this bank first, and talk
to an officer about the kind best suited to
your needs.
Cusitomers will tell you that our rates
are low, options liberal and that the personal interest we take in their plans*, is worth
many dollars to them in money or satisfaction.
Why not take that "first step" now—by
coming in to see us?

The Saline Woman's Club, The
Macon Woman's CIud and the Saline Willing Workers were hostesses Tuesday afternoon of last
week to the County Federation of
Women's Clubs at the local high
school. The band played "The
Star Spangled Banner" to open
the program and followed it with
a medley of patriotic songs. Mrs.
John L. Sweetnam of Manr'stee.
president of the state federation,
gave an interesting account of the
recent National Civilian Defense
Volunteer council which met in
Washington, D. C., and which she
attended. She was introduced by
Mrs. Martin Fuoss, president of
the local club at the request of
Mrs. Harry L. Smith of Ypsilanti,
president of the county federation. Mrs. Sweetnam briefly outlined the specific defense services
for women as providing Christian
homes and environment for young
people, considering health, sanitation, nutrition of camps and civilian life and to keep up the
home morale.
The Glee Club sang "I Am an
American" and "God Bless America" and the audience joined with'
them in repeating the pledge of
allegiance to the flag. j
Mrs. Daniel Hall, chairman of'
the international relations de-,
partment of the Woman's Club,!
presented Miss Mary Eoyang, a-
Chinese student at the University,
high school, who gave a short'
talk on her country and displayed
genuine Chinese costumes. Mrs. \
Hall was assisted by Mrs.' L. C.'

Miss Julia Gordon of the Willing.

Mrs. William Bach closed the.
program by singing "The Old Re- *

Following the program a de- .

CSaline has had a BLACKOUT.
Yes, it really did a few evenings
ago. It all happened this way.
An accident case was brought to
the hospital and X-rays were being taken. Lights were on in
all of the patients' rooms, many
were playing their radios. The
flash of an eye and the whole
hospital was as black as night,
radios stopped and for an instant everyone wondered what
had happened. Whether it was
an overload or not we can't say
but the fuses blew out. Patients
calmed instantly as Mrs.. 3s__-

Boy Scouts Co-operate
With Senior Class
In the last Observer the scouts
announced that they're collecting
waste paper to aid in America's
defense, and also books and magazines for the men in military
service. The scouts have gathered up over a ton of paper. On
Monday alone they collected over
300 pounds of waste paper after
school.
The Office of Emergency Management has asked the Boy
Scouts of America and other
groups to collect waste paper to
relieve the shortage- of paper
caused by the increased use "of
this material to provide containers for packing munitions and
foodstuffs. The enthusiastic patriotism of these scouts have
shown interferes with a similar
campaign which the senior class
has undertaken for several years
to aid in raising funds for their
annual trip. To avoid duplication
and because it is a duty of a
scout to help others at all times,
the scouts have agreed to discontinue collection of waste paper
until May, when the senior class
will give the entire task over tt
them for the summer months.
In the meantime the patrols
.will continue to collect books to
be sent .to military camps, and
any scrap metal which people
wish to discard,". but they feel
that all waste paper should be
given directly to the senior class.
Of the funds' derived from the
sale of metal the scouts will use
half to purchase-defense stamps
and the remainder to purchase
camping equipment.

Saline High's cage team is still
fighting an uphill battle against
Old Man Jinx and, as usual, they
are having a hard time conquering
him. Ever since Christinas vacation the local lads have been
having a tough time breaking into the win column. Many times
they have come close to it, but
they have fallen just short each
time. In the past five games they
have taken one and lost four and
yet have scored just as many
points as their opponents. They
have lost two games by three
points, one by two, and one by
one point.
Friday night was not an exception as they lost to Ypsilanti
Roosevelt there by the score of
23 to 20.
Saline looked as if they were
well in form as they started the
game by scoring 6 points in the
first quarter to lead, 6 to 1, but
the Rough Riders came to life
in the second period and scored
13 to lead, 14 to 10, at half time.
In the third period Roosevelt
increased their lead to 19-14 and
were able to stave off a last
period thrust by the Hornets.
Dale Hirth led the Saline scoring with 6 points and Don Kelsey
accounted for 5. Roosevelt's
scoring was led by Whitehouse,
who sank 4 goals and a charity
shot for 9 points. Love scored
5 for Roosevelt-

Kotary Anns
I Entertained
Splendid Banquet
Enjoyed And Much
Fun Was On "Cap.
The Saline Rotary Club entertained the Rotary Anns at a six
o'clock dinner at The Tavern
Thursday evening. All members
were present except five. Aftei
the banquet all joined" in community singing with Mrs. Merritt
Martin at the piano. The gentlemen then left the dining room'
and after a short period returned,
each wearing his wife's hat. Of
course there were a few trades
for the gentlemen have ideas
about women's hats, even if they
don't express them. They marched
around the dining room periv.'t-
ting their wives to get a gran'
view and see for themselves just
how their headgear looks to .another. There were peals of laughter and much applause, the man
receiving the most applause was
to be the prize-winner. The
choice centered around Arthur
Heininger, Carl Curtiss and Max
Fosdick with the latter winning
out. It is said that due to women's hats being what they are a
few bald spots were visible here
and there, but everyone entered
into the spirit of fun and enjoyed
the "Cavalcade of Hats."
A quiz hour with the ladies
lined up against the men fo'-l'jwed
the hat parade with the final
score being 385 for the women
and 370 for the men. (Confidentially speaking, the men think the
women helped each other out quite
a bit.) But everyone voted the
program chairman!, Alwin Gross,
a fine entertainer. Henry Burgess, local agriculture teacher and
special instructor for the Ford
tractor boys, will have charge of
the programs during February.
International Farm
Power Show Soon
Herman Heininger announces
that his International Farm
Power Show will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 18. Usually this
event has been held in his place
of business but this year he has
secured the use of the auditorium.
The program will start at 1:30
and will consist of some acts by
radio and stage personalities as
well as three stirring movies. "The
United States Marines in Action"
is one appropriate film and "The
Strong Shall be Free" is another.
There will also be an animal
comedy.

"\ „-*■*-« *&*%"- .-^^r^k^S-a \ A*f TOE SAI yolume si SALINE, WASHTENAW COUNTY, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1942 NUMBER. IS FSA Will Make Loans To Repair Machinery The Farm Security Administration will lend money to pay for Tepairing and conditioning- farm machinery belonging to its borrowers or to other farmers who meet the requirement of FSA loans, Donald Kline, county FSA- supervisor, has announced. "These loans are to insure that production of needed food by, families co-operating with the FSA will not be curtailed next year because of farm machinery that is in bad shape" Mr. Kline said. "The 'Food for Victory" program must not fail because it is just as essential to defense as is the industrial program of our factories. '. "Farmers must bear in mind that with farm prices higher than' they have been in years, they miist make the most of their op-' portunity to produce in abundance. Machinery will become soarcer, and no doubt, pieces of new machinery and parts will be higher, so it will pay each farmer to check his equipment now and make the necessary repairs. Machinery should be put in good condition now, even though it might last another season." Mr. Kline said that eligible! borrowers also will be loaned money for the purchase of machinery if necessary, although! joint purchase and use of new equipment by several families is being urged to meet anticipated shortages and price increases in new machinery next spring.

THE FIRST STEP In Obtaining a Real Estate Loan When you want to secure a real estate loan it is important to get started right. The. way to do is to come to this bank first, and talk to an officer about the kind best suited to your needs. Cusitomers will tell you that our rates are low, options liberal and that the personal interest we take in their plans*, is worth many dollars to them in money or satisfaction. Why not take that "first step" now—by coming in to see us? Saline Savings Ttie One Story Bank On the Corner CHECK THESE VALUES Fresher Fruits and Vegetables Baldwin and Northern Spy Apples 4 lbs.

Sweetnam of Manr'stee. president of the state federation, gave an interesting account of the recent National Civilian Defense Volunteer council which met in Washington, D. C., and which she attended. She was introduced by Mrs. Martin Fuoss, president of the local club at the request of Mrs. Harry L. Smith of Ypsilanti, president of the county federation. Mrs. Sweetnam briefly outlined the specific defense services for women as providing Christian homes and environment for young people, considering health, sanitation, nutrition of camps and civilian life and to keep up the home morale. The Glee Club sang "I Am an American" and "God Bless America" and the audience joined with' them in repeating the pledge of allegiance to the flag. j Mrs. Daniel Hall, chairman of' the international relations de-, partment of the Woman's Club,! presented Miss Mary Eoyang, a- Chinese student at the University, high school, who gave a short' talk on her country and displayed genuine Chinese costumes.

Tea was I served by a group of girls who \ modeled the costumes shown by j Miss Eoyang. The meeting was well attenred and marked a highlight in the year's activities. CSaline has had a BLACKOUT. Yes, it really did a few evenings ago. It all happened this way. An accident case was brought to the hospital and X-rays were being taken. Lights were on in all of the patients' rooms, many were playing their radios. The flash of an eye and the whole hospital was as black as night, radios stopped and for an instant everyone wondered what had happened. Whether it was an overload or not we can't say but the fuses blew out. Patients calmed instantly as Mrs.. 3s__- Henry told them what had happened.

The scouts have gathered up over a ton of paper. On Monday alone they collected over 300 pounds of waste paper after school. The Office of Emergency Management has asked the Boy Scouts of America and other groups to collect waste paper to relieve the shortage- of paper caused by the increased use "of this material to provide containers for packing munitions and foodstuffs. The enthusiastic patriotism of these scouts have shown interferes with a similar campaign which the senior class has undertaken for several years to aid in raising funds for their annual trip. To avoid duplication and because it is a duty of a scout to help others at all times, the scouts have agreed to discontinue collection of waste paper until May, when the senior class will give the entire task over tt them for the summer months. In the meantime the patrols .will continue to collect books to be sent .to military camps, and any scrap metal which people wish to discard". but they feel that all waste paper should be given directly to the senior class. Of the funds' derived from the sale of metal the scouts will use half to purchase-defense stamps and the remainder to purchase camping equipment. Scoutmaster Charles Collins, Roy Dechert, Wayne F. Otto, Ruth Baumann. 1942 simply is out of gear when rjn„ „ (<„«>- "Rnv« electricity fails.
