Hippocrates, 'father of medicine,'
was born a Greek in the island j
of Cos about -450 B. C. His bath1,
is one demanded of : all young i
doctors of medicine about to en- j

the composition of which is* at- i
tributed to Hippocrates. ■ Iii it'
the neophyte swears to esteeem j
his preceptor as a parent and toj
swear with him'his livelihood, if!
necessary: to give ho deadly]

seen that "a'5r4un'_* man taking up

ahead before he can get to earning any money for himself.
Doctor Prout showed a number
of instruments required, all of
which runs into '*real money,"-and
charts showing the,effects of appendicitis, gall stones, etc., and a
vial of some of the stones, which
naturally cause a lot of distress
to those who are so unfortunate j

Michigan F.F.A. Boys
Did Well In Kansas City
Two Michigan boys have returned from Kansas City, Mo., where
Michigan received the highest
honor of the National Association
of Future Farmers of America,
George H. Fem, SSrector of the
state board of control for vocational education which sponsors
the F.F.A. annpunced-.The,'American Farmer Degree "waskawarded
to Elwood Mellinger of Ithaca,
and Paul Wolf of Dansville. Wolf
was present as an official delegate of the Michigan F.F.A The
other state delegate was Dorwin
Williams, also .of Dansville. Raymond Clark, supervisor of agricultural education for the state
board, -was in charge of the delegation.
It was announced from the convention floor that Michigan, chapters had collected two-thirds of
all the waste paper reported for
the   entire  national  organization.
The theme of this year's convention was gearing the F.F.A.
to the war effort especially in
food production, farm machinery
repair, the salvage programs,
farm labor programs, stamp and
bond purchases, and keeping in
contact with members in the
armed forces. The . delegates
voted that boys entering the armed services may quabJEy for advanced degrees if they resume
their F.F.A. agricultural programs within six months after
their return and satisfy minimum
requirements, providing they have
not reached their 25th birthday.
Gasoline Rationing
Gasoline rationing here will
take place Nov. 18, 19 and 20 at
the school. On~.Wednesday, the
hours-!-will be from 2:30 to 5:30
and 6:30 to 9. Thursday and Friday, from 1 to 6. Everyoae who
drives a car must register at
the school for an A «ard. Applica-,
tion forms for these, may be secured from the gasoline stations.
Fill them out and bring to the
school. If you need more gasoline than is allowed by the regulation A card, secure an application form -from the rigistrar at
the school. An "Information Center" will be set up in Saline to
give help in filling out these application forms according to the
CDVO, and the place will be announced later. These applications
for ■ B or C cards- must then be
sent to the rationing board in
Ann Arbor for final 'action.

<IOne sailor was made happy a
few days ago. He had a leave
for one day so decided to fly to
Detroit and surprise his folks for
a few hours. Arriving at the air
port in Washington D. C, he
found the plane booked full. A
later schedule would not permit the trip. But the keen ears
of a Michigan Congressman
caught the situation and he canceled his ticket in favor of the
sailor and-had his_'luggage removed from the plane; CT_ies ball
games in, Ann Arbor -are enjoyed
by thousands on the radio but
only those in .the.stadium get the
full benefit of the antics which
are carried oh by the bands during intermission. The Michigan-
Illinois game* was no exception,
but the entertainment partook:
of a more serious nature, re.,
fleeting the times. The band
marched into the center of -the
field and surrounded a group
of men in uniform. The service
men took their- positions and unrolled strips of red cloth which
they' held out and formed a Red
Cross. The band then softly played "Angels of Mercy." A hush
fell over the great crowd and
not many eyes were dry. Then
the men changed their formation
slightly to form a cross more
T-shaped than the other. With a
single motion they flipped the
strips of cloth over and they
were white forming the Christian
cross. The band then played "Onward Christian Soldiers." At the
conclusion the entire audience remained silent in a sort of reverent hush. That- is America. We
go gaily about the day's duties
whether" in Army, Navy, or Marine corps, farm or factory. We
laugh and joke and have our
fun but underneath it all we
cherish those things we have been
taught to hold- sacred .That is
why we weather the storm. _____
tlie African desert the Englisb
soldiers . say they have been
cheered by the jokes and wisecracks of the American boys.
Long live America!

Recently The Observer had a
i birthday anniversary, and it was
30 years ago this month that the
present publisher came to Saline.
But few business and professional
men remain who were in business
at that time. Dr. J. B. Wallace
is .one of them, Edward Feuerbacher, G. L. Parsons, WilLSturrn.
Herman Heininger, Max Fdsdick,
George Schmid, Oscar Wheeler,
John Schleh, Henry Schroen, Aaron Wiedmayer, Edward Alber
and George W. Seeger are among
the others.
Of course the Burkahrt Store,
Saline Savings Bank and the Citizens Bank are still with us but
their personnel has all changed
with the exception of the latter,
Carl A. Curtiss now being president of the institution.
All of the newspapers in the
county have changed ownership
duringthese30yea_.sk-
Our "first business venture was
The Pewamo Item, which we conducted a little more than three
years. Then we went to Clayton
and purchased a paper, later suspending it and moved the plant
to Morenci to establish the News
After a year and a half there we
sold out and purchased The Citizen at Boyne City and later also
owned the Boyne Falls paper:
After six years in Charlevoix
county we published papers at Alex
and Texola, Okla., and after disposing of them we bought The
News at West Jefferson, Ohio,
selling that to come to Saline.
A few years ago we established a paper at Britton, which lived
until the bank holiday, when it
"went up the flu."" The latest,
and probably the last in the chain,
is the North Adams Advocate,
which is being well conducted by
Warren C. Bowers. If we are
spared two years more we will
round out 50 years as a publisher
and 60 years connected in one
way or another with the newspaper business.
To Be No Change In
Deer Hunting Season
Lansing, Nov. 7. — Michigan',
deer hunting season cannot be
advanced to "beat the gun" on
gasoline rationing, P. J. Hoffmas-
ter, drector of the state conservation department, declared in
commenting upon proposals tc
open the season a week earlier.
The regular-deer hunting season
is inflexibly fixed by law at
Not. 15 to 30, and nothing less
than an act of the Legislature
can change these dates to accommodate hunters, Hoffmaster
said. Nov. 22, the date tentatively proposed for the beginning
of nationwide gasoline rationing,
falls in the middle of this season, which last year attracted
more than 220,000 licensed hunters.
■"The director pointed out that
the" "discretionary power" act
does not now give the conservation commission authority to act
in such a situation, but provides
only for suspending or shortening,
the season on game animals
threatened with depletion or extermination.
Most concerned about the effect
of gas rationing in deer season
are Michigan's farthest-^ north
counties which normally get considerable income from furnishing
accommodations for hunters. For
the last 10 years, half of the
hunters hunting in the upper peninsula have come from the lower
peninsula, and in some counties
as high as 90 per cent of the
hunters have been southern Michigan residents. '
IS
Missionery Speaker

Plenty Of Deer Near Mio
Mio, Nov. 7. — Scarcity of
acorns is coinciding with serious
crop damage by deer in this area.
Conservation officers on one night
inspection trip counted more than
300 deer in a field near Mio and
Fairview. On one farm near
Fairview, deer "cleaned out" a
good-sized cabbage patch in a
single night.
