To Show Where
You May Hunt
Conservation   Department
Has   Mapped   Recreational
Area In Sourthern Mich.
Maps of 11 southeastern
Michigan state recreation areas,
showing state-owned lands and
how they may be reached are
now available from the state
conservation department..
The maps are being distributed in time to aid hunters,
for among the 36,000 acres
acquired to date is some fair
pheasant and rabbit hunting
territory. Hunting is permitted
on all recreational lands except
for necessary areas near buildings and. a few sanctuaries.
Picnickers and hikers who
have not yet made the acquaintance of the new areas will find
the maps helpful in locating
the lands open to public use.
The maps show beaches, campsites, picnic sites and fishing
access spots. The reverse of
each map carries an illustrated
account of development to" date
in these tracts which eventually will cover 100,000 acres in a
chain of multi-use play areas
within 50 miles of Detroit. At
the areas have mostly hardwoods, they are expected to be
popular spots for "color tours"
when leaves turns, this fall.
The maps available are for
the Bald Mountain, Brighton,
Holly, Highland, Island Lake,
Metamora, Ortonville, Pinckney,
Pontiac Lake, Proud Lake and
Rochester-Utica state recreation areas.
Honduras. From- the background of an evangelist and educator in this mountainous republic, M i s s < Scheidt has
brought addresses full of unusual interest.
During the evening worship
period beginning at 8 o'clock,
Rev. Glenn Baumann, returned
chaplain, will speak. Rev. Baumann was stationed in Japan
immediately after the cessation of hostilities and made
first hand observations of
church life while there. His
subject on Sunday evening will
be "Christ Amid Chaos."

"There are shadows in • the
valleys, but there's sunlight on
the hills," quoted Municipal
Judge Jay Payne, Ann Arbor,
guest speaker at the Rotary
Club here Thursday, who
sounded, rather refreshingly, a
note of optimism for the future
of mankind. While newspaper
headlines and periodicals and
radio commentators may mystify and confuse us, it is up to
people generally to sift the
chaff from the wheat, and, having found out the right, to
chart their course accordingly.
There is a gr^at need for more
spirituality in the world today,
declared Judge Payne, and a
need for more and more people
to attend church service, and
give heed to the example they
set for the younger generation,
which so largely patterns after
the lives of their elders. He
pointed out that according to
a survey made in the city of
Ann Arbor, the greater , proportion of youthful delinquents
did not come from "across the
tracks," but that the poorer
section had the least. In the
top strata, in the most exclusive section of the city, the
greatest number of delinquents
originated. However, he added,
there is much to encourage one
in the fact that there has been
a distinct drop in the number
of crimes and misdemeanors
committed in the last fiscal
year and the trend is definitely
downward.
Sam Lambarth conducted the
meeting in the absence of Dr.
Harold Miller, who has been on
vacation and Gerhardt Cekau,
program chairman, introduced
Judge Payne. Other visitors
were L. R. Savage of Ann Arbor, Leon Vedder, Milan, and
Charles   Carlton,   Clinton.
MISSIONARIES AT
ST. PAUL'S SUNDAY
which includes sixty-three Rotary Clubs in southeastern
Michigan and a goodly portion
of Ontario, Canada. Mr. Brady
is vice-president of the Citizens'
Mutual Automobile Insurance
Company in Howell and is a
member of the Rotary Club of
Howell.^
Mr. Brady's visit to the Rotary Club is to advise and assist President Harold Miller,
Secretary • Leo L. Jensen and
other officers on matters pertaining to Club administration
and Rotary service activities.
He is one of the 157 District
Governors of Rotary International who are supervising the
activities of some 5,800 Rotary
Clubs with more than a quarter
of a million members in 73
countries and geographical regions throughout the world.
Today, this world-wide service organization continues to
grow in numbers and in
strength. During the last fiscal year, 404 new Rotary Clubs
were organized in 12 countries
of the Americas, and in Australia, Belgium, Burma, China,
Czechoslovakia, Denmark, England, Federated Malay States,
Finland, France, Greece, Hong
Kong, India, Ireland, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway,
Portugal, Straits Settlements,
Sweden, The Netherlands, The
Philippines, and Wales.
Wherever Rotary Clubs are
located, their activities are
similiar to those of the Rotary
Club of Saline because they are
based on the same general objectives—the promotion of better understanding and fellowship among business and professional men, community-betterment undertakings, raising
the standards of businesses and
professions, and fostering the.
advancement of good will, understanding and peace among
all the peoples of the world.
Miss Margaret H. Finch,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Finch of Saline, became the
bride of Thomas J. King, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H.
King of Monarch, Wyoming,
on   Saturday,  August  31st.
The service was read at 8
o'clock in the Federated church
by Rev. William H. Bach of
Hazel Park. The couple stood
before the altar, which' was
flanked with two large baskets
of white gladioli and two sets
of candelabra.
Mrs. Bessie Collins played
the organ while Clark Spike
sang "Because" and "Through
the Years."
The bride, who was 'given in
marriage by her father, looked
very lovely in her bridal gown
of white satin with a long
train. The gown had a high
neck line with seed pearl embroidering, long pointed sleeves,
and buttoned down the back
with satin buttons. Her fingertip illusion veil fell very gracefully from a Juliet cap of white
sequins. Her bridal bouquet
was a shower arrangement of
wliite gladioli and astors.
Maid of honor was her sister,
Dorothy E. Finch, who was attired in a blue net dress over
taffeta with a sweetheart neckline. Miss Marie J. Finch,
cousin of the bride, and Miss
Doris Jean Henne were her
bridesmaids. Their gowns
were of pink net fashioned the
same as that worn by the maid
of honor and all carried arm
bouquets.
Richard Finch of Grosse
Pointe, cousin of the bride, acted as best man. David Cuff:
of Saline and William Rhodes
of Macon, served as ushers.
A reception for 150 guests
was held following the ceremony, in the basement ofs the
church. The bride's table was
centered with a four-tiered
wedding cake topped with a
miniature bride and groom. Tall
tapers'were also 'iised on the
table.
Mrs. Finch chose a flowered
print dress for her daughter's
wedding with white accessories
and wore a pink rose corsage.
Mrs. King was gowned in a
black dress with black accessories and wore a pink rose corsage.
For traveling, the new Mrs.
King chose a pink rayon jersey dress, gray coat and black
accessories. After September
15th the young couple will live
in Denver, Colorado where
Mr. King will attend the
University.        a
Mrs. King is a graduate of
Saline high school and Ann Arbor secretarial school while Mr.
King is a graduate of Sheriden,
Wyoming high school. He attended    the    University    of

Tenth, Last Day
For Farmers
Williamston Hunting Plan
For Farmers Has
Many Good Features
September 10 is the last day
for farmers to register their
Williamston plan hunting cooperatives and receive state
aid in the form of printed
tickets and fencepost sighs, Dr.
G. W. Bradt of the conservation department's game division announces.
A WiUiamston plan ticket,
usually a printed shipping tag
the sportsman can tie to his
hunting jacket, permits a
hunter to range the half dozen
or more farms in the cooperative, while his car. is left parked
in the farmer's yard as a guarantee of good behavior.
To qualify for state -cooperation, each Williamston plan
club must include not less than
one section of land nor more
than 10,000 acret>. Smaller units
have proved mor^ satisiactory.
The»number of tickets to be
issued daily is agreed upon in
advance, and so limited that the
cooperative lands will never
have too heavy a concentration of hunters. The tickets
are issued without charge on a'
first come, first served basis.
Anticipation of heavier hunting pressure this fall may
boost the organization total a-
bove the 40 clubs covering
170,000 acres that operated under this plan last year. The
plan takes its name from the
initial cooperative formed in
Williamston township, Ingham
county, in 1929, when "farmers
acted to prevent their land being overrun by city hunters,
while keeping it open for a reasonable number of responsible
persons. The conservation department has cooperated in the
organization of Williamston
plan clubs for the last 10 years.
DEATH FOLLOWS
HEART ATTACK
Former1 Saline Girl And
Husband Had Left Hotel
24 Hours Previously
Word was received here in
Saline by friends of Mrs. Al
Owens, the former Wilma Cole,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.
E. Cole, that she and her husband had a miraculous escape
from the recent bombing of
the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, July 19th.
Mr. Owens is general manager of the Standard Oil Co. in
Cairo, Egypt and he and Mrs.
Owens were vacationing at the
time the bombing took place.
They were registered at the
King David Hotel, but by a
stroke of fortune, the Owen's
had vacated their hotel room
24 hours before the bombing
which reduced the structure to
a shambles, taking many lives
as well.
The Owens continued their
vacation trip, visiting many
historical spots in the Holy
Land, including Damascus, Sea
of Gallilee, the Jordan River,
Nazareth and other places of
interest.

ficating. Interment was in the
Riverside cemetery.
Roger Babson declares that
we are either facing an era of
fabulous prosperity with a
standard of living never before
dreamed of, or we are driving
ahead into one of the most ca-
tasthropic.
To attain the first it is
necessary that we have "one
world" with no artificial boundaries nor barriers and a free
enter^hange of trade and commerce, with all peoples having
equal access to the wo4d's
natural resources and raw materials. Then will come peace
and abundance for all.
Failing that, he paints a
dismal picture of devastating war and. tremendous
suffering. City dwellers
he declares, should flee to
the wide open spaces and'
make preparation against
that day of destruction
when our great cities and
industrial centers will be
blasted to rubble. Fortunate indeed will be the lot
of that man who has a
humble cottage in the sticks
and a plot of ground' and
an animal or two from
which to squeeze out the
necessities of life.
Babson says the first
signs of the times will be
noted in Wall Street and
when stocks begin to tumble it will be time for one
to draw his money from
the bank and beat it.
We, might add that Babson's
conclusions usually carry
weight with the most conservative of the country's intelli-
gencia.
Its a nasty mess in which
the world finds itself, and
there is little that people in the
mass can do about it. It is
.cwicksdxa-ieadershin that causes
most of the woes Which beset
us and we don't know how to
get rid of it.
We have fought two wars
now to end war, and it is already being pointed out that
a third one is coming up. If
it is inevitable, we should find
it out at the quickest possible
moment and act accordingly.
Either Russia wants to play
ball or she doesn't. Placing all
of our own cards on the table
we should be able to get a
showdown over night. If it
has to be war let us bend every
energy towai'd that end and
oust for the last time every
war-mongering nation on earth.
The most merciful method will
be the quickest and most effectual. Better use it while we
have it.
The motives which have
guided this nation in the
past have been the most
peaceful in the world, we
believe that, in the main,
they still are. But all our
good motives and all our
dead soldiers; all our vast
cargoes of food and supplies; all of the billions of
wealth we have given freely; all of the misery of the
untold numbers of the in-
- nocents, have proved to
have been utterly wasted.
Our present position is now
worse than the first.
Are we getting jimmie-crie-
kets? Well, Babson is considered no jingoist, and some of
our most reliable foreign correspondents tell of the pessimism that predominates at the
Paris parley, and a congressional group reporting on their
findings in the Far East are
very, very nervous. The latest
and most direful prediction is
that America will be at war before this year has ended.
It is not a pretty picture and
there is little that you or your
neighbor can do about it, nor
any of the rest of us except
perhaps to demand quick action
on'the part of our government.
While Congress is vacationing,
the Kremlin is working overtime.
Its our funeral and we should
have some say as to whom
we want for pall bearers.
The Past Matrons will meet
with a poluck luncheon at 1
o'clock at the home of Mrs.
Margaret Wallace, on Monday,
September 9th.
