Injured In Mission
Auto Accident Festival

Mrs. Sam Boyd is in the Tecumseh hospital with a broken
left arm. anfl injured shoulder as
the result of an automobile accident which occurred last wee
Wednesday at about six o'clock. ■
Mrs. Boyd in company with, hei
daughter, Mrs. T. J. Ireland, ar
grandson, Vernon, were returning
home from the Adrian Fair and
"were in the rear of a group o
same direction. When the leading car turned off the highway
without signaling, the rest piled
up. The Ireland car, driven by
the grandson, landed in the ditch
in an attempt to dodge the car
ahead.
Mrs.   Ireland  and  her  son  received only minor  injuries.
Thankful,
But Wishful
At this tiime I wish to thank
the many workers who tried to
make the Sister Kenny Fund
Drive a success, and especially
Mr. Clark far. bringing the movie,
"Sister Kenny", to Saline, but
I'm sorry to report that the people of Saline have failed to respond to the appeal.
■ The cannisters will be left in
the stores this week in the hope
.that contributors will dr^p in a
few more dimes or dollars.

Schmale of Ann Arlior, who for"
many years was the chairman of
the International Missions Board,
cf the Evangelical and Reformed
Church,   bringing   the     message.
His  sermon  should  prove  to be
.both interesting and informative.

icrcit will be the preacher,   ttev.
Kesting has milch iiifofmatisa 8ii
the   home   missioii   work   of   the
denomination,    especially   in   the
city   of Detroit.    Bethel  Mission
Festivals   have    become     rather
known   as   home-coming   affairs
and hearty invitation  is  extended to the many friends of Bethe"
to   attend. services   in   Freedom.
The large offering of the day is
directly  used for the  benevolent
and mission work of the denomination.   The Bethel church choir,
under the direction of the organist, *Miss  Wanda  Haeussler,  will
sing "at both services.
Next   Sunday   the members,  of
Trinity Lutheran Church will observe their annual Mission Festival   to   be   strengthened  by   the
Word for the cause of Christian
missions, and to be refreshed by
a report of the Lord's marvelous
works,   among   men.     Since     the
organization   of   Trinity   congregation 72 years  ago,  this  festival  has  assumed    a    prominent
place among the  strictly  church
festivals of the church year. This
year again the members of Trinity  will    fill     God's    house  ■ to
over-flowing in three divine services.    In the morning service beginning at  10  o'clock  Dr.  Einor
Anderson   of   Michigan  Lutheran
Seminary,    Saginaw   will   deliver
the   sermon.     Dr.   Anderson  just
recently    became    the    dean .of
young men at our institution in
Saginaw.     At   3   o'clock   in   the
afternoon   the  Rev.   G.   Albrecht
of   Dexter  will   deliver -the   sermon   in   the   German   language.
Pastor   Albrecht   has  laborefl   in
mission fields and is well quali.-
fied to  speak on  this most important work of the church.    At
8 o'clock in the evening the third
festival service will bring Pastor
S.  Westendorf  of  Monroe  to  us.
Pastor    Westendorf     is     on     a
church committee  interesting itself in war relief anfl mission opportunities in the war devastated
areas of Europe.   An opportunity
will be given in each divine service   to   bring   an   offering   untc
Christ, our Lord, for the mission
work He Himself has commanded us to do.
It has become customary for
former members and friends of
Trinity Lutheran Church to worship -with lis on this festival
day and to renew old acquaint-
. anceg,_~Acn. ..tevtotipri. is,, .hereby
extended to all to do likewise
next   Sunday. .?_
H. L. Engel, Pastoi*. "
Chief Pontiac of Royal .Oak
led his singing warriors in a festival of song here Friday night
the tribes, hailing from Salme,
Tecumseh, Ann Arbor, Redfciv
and Wayne. The only real Indian, "in the bunch, however, was
the chief himself, a Cherokee
from Oklahoma, who forsook the
riches of the oil lands of th.
territory for, the beauty of the
harmony of Michigan.
And harmony  it  was—of  two
hours   duration—and    it   pleased
the large crowd, which filled, the
high school auditorium almost
capacity.
The Society for the Preservation of Barber Shop Singing ir>
America had a new quartet added
to its. list with the Saline Singing Four making its debut. Composed of Raymond Burkhardt,
George Martin, Aaron Girbach
and R. S. Hocking, it made a
hit and drew a fine round of
applause. Tecumseh's Four
Knights of Harmony and T. P.
Broadcasters and the Ann Arbor
Four were excellent, but the high
honors went to Redford's Cleft
Dwellers anfl Lloyd LeBaron's
quartet  from Wayne.
These two quartets were really
tops in close harmony, and. colorful and dramatic, and the judges
awarded the trophy to Redford
and gave second place to Wayne.
Saline Junior Chamber of Commerce which sponsored the event,
held a reception for the visitors
at the Saline Hotel following .the
program.

local merchants who either donated cash or took space in the

likewise be as generous with
their many entries. ,        -   -
