-'Alphabetical
Soup" Was Served
At Meeting Of
Rotary   Club
Xast  Thursday.
Chairman for the month, Ted
Stimpson, sprang a new one on
. meSnbers at the meeting of the
j Rotary Club at The Tavern last
Thursday noon. He called it
"Alphabetical Soup," and it was
rather thick soup at that. Giving a list of 15 of the -Jifferect
organizations now functioning
for .the U. S, government,
such as the AAA, FBI. etc., he
let them try to see who could
name the most of them"'Nine correct was the most anyone could
solve and that resulted in a tie
for Bearss and Wiedman, and Art
Heininger received, one of the
prizes—war savings stamp, for
beating all others to low score.
A flip of a coin awarded the
other to Bearss.
Rotarian Paul Proud of Ann
Arbor, over to make up attendance, talked for a few minutes
on the progress of the retailers
of the country in the sate of
bonds and stamps. This county
got a late start, due to a necessary chansre in chairmanship, but
srreat strides have been made of
late.
Th". retailers of the nation were
apportioned a billion dollars worth
to dispose of in one year. In
commenting on the success of the
retailers he said that every merchant in Ann Arbor who has consistently advertised the sale of
staimros and bonds has not only
sold T-lentv but also report in-
wpsAri sates of their own merchandise.
SWpn niv-ve "NTovt, Week
The local salvage committee
has decided on an intensive drive
for scrap metal on Thursday of
next week and hope that as many
as can will bring all scrap to the
Mercantile Company scales before Oct. 8. To those who cannot
•possibly bring the scrap in, if
a phone call to Arthur Heininger
or Alwin Gross it is possible _ a
way may be found to send after
it.
The Boy Scouts will canvas the
city to the end that all who have
any kind of scrap for salvage
may deposit same on lawn extensions next Thursday and it will
be picked up by trucks.

the things they didn't want Now
it is a question of han_i_ng over
the keepsakes,, those unused but
dearly loved things which clutter
the attic, the basement, the
garage. CAnd speaking1 of war
effort. The; women of Saline are
certainlv doing much. Recently
the Saline Valley Farms faced a
situation. They had tomatoes and
other <. vegetables to can. more
than thev could pick or peel.
They couldn't find the help. So
they called on ■» Mrs. Gordon Anthony, local OCD registrar. From
the files she called on a list of
names who had offered, their services in time of emergencv. Now
peeling tomatoes mav • not seem
as humanitarian as or-ening your
frtvmfy to a. bombed out familv or
goine; out with a mobile kitchen
and Nervine hot coffee, soup and
sandwiches, but it's just as necessary. Here is no dollar an hour
compensation,, no double time nor
time and a half for overtime, but
six women went -to work and
day after day they have hurried
out to' the Saline Valley Farms
after getting breakfast and
swiftly tidying up their own
homes—cooking meals, washing,
ironing,- mending, cleaning and
then working-at,the canning factory may not receive the attention given--to factory workers but
}t's just*-as important, so here's
hats off to the-brigade of helpers.
Much of the" Saline Valley E**arms
pack is for the army. CAnd
while speaking of Saline women,
here's a corsage for Mrs. Clarence Wurster. She had charge
of the sugar registration in Saline. It meant days and days of
service without pay. Filling in
blanks,' making out reports, accounting to county headquarters.
She was glad to do it, and very
efficiently, too. All restaurants
were expected to go to Ann Arbor for their sugar ration applications but because of her capability and. efficiency, Mrs. Wurster has been granted permission
to handle Saline restaurants. ftSo
we know Saline has many willing
hands and surely there are
enoiigh ofc them to meet the need
of the local Red Cross rooms too.
CFall has arrived and here and
there we see a .branch of flaming falV'.-colors- in the-_midst of
green" foliage. _**h°cke<*" fields, of
corn dot the countryside with
golden ripe pumpkins twining
here and there among the shocks.
Nuts are falling and gardens are
pretty well cleaned. The busv
housewife looks at her weli-filled
cellar and views the rows of
canned fruits, vegetables and
sickles with oride. The farmer
looks at the bursting hay mows,
thp overflowinp- pram bins. Together thev recall the ions hour*

with a total of 52 points without
having its 50 yard line crossed.
These victims -were Dexter and
Belleville.
Such reports do not bother the
Hornets, however, for tltey also
have a fine aggregation which is
unprqving rapidly. In their first
two games the scores were none
too impressive, but the statistics-
show they outplayed the other
teams by a large margin.
The opener was a non-league
affair against the Clinton Reds
and Saline came out on the short
end of a 6 to 0 score when Clinton returned a bad punt for a
touchdown' and 'their  only  taiiv
Saline finally hit *'pay dirt"
Friday' when they took -the initial Huron league game by trim
tion rally to provide more scrap
metal for a winter reserve.
THEREFORE, I. Alwin Gross.
Mayor of the City of Saline, do
ask all residents of this f^minui
nity to participate in this observance of Newspapers' Scrap
Metal Drive and help thereby the
ipen of our armed forces in their
fight for our freedom.
To which I place my. hand and
