THE FLAGS OF
MEMORIAL DAY
The flags of Memorial Day fly above
the graves of our valiant dead. But—
thanks to their sacrifice—the flags fly,
also, above the homes and institutions
of free men and women.
In the graves in less fortmnate fends,
Liberty and Justice and Hope lie buried,
too. But if the spirit of this generation
proves worthy of the spirit of all the
generations that have gone before—
this will never be true of America.
Memorial Day is a legal hoEday.    No business
wffl be  transacted by this bank on that  day.

Saline Rotary Club
Having been disappointed in securing a speaker for the meeting
of the Rotary Club last Thursday,
Chairman Gordon Prout resorted
to a questionnaire to fill' in the
aEotted time, giving members an
opportunity, if they could," to
answer 20 questions, each to count
five in the grand total. That a
great many osf them were "teasers" may be judged by this sample: "How long is tne average
life of an earthworm?"' To make
a long story short; Carl Curtiss
won with a score of 60 plus.
Alfred Schmid, home for a "week
on furlough from Orlando, Fla.,
was joyfuEy greeted and made a
few remarks concerning his present work and acknowledged he
was mighty glad to meet with
the club once more.
