Saline Dentist

Wed In Church
We deeply- regret the sudded
passing of one of Saline's, professional men, Dr. Roy Bixby.
His death did not come as a
shock to his friends, but" rather
as a deep sorrow. The Doctor
had a great affliction which he
had horn bravely without complaint and from which, he was
well aware,, there was no escape.
He was one -who loved the out-
of-doors and the wild things, of
nature. He delighted in the sunshine of Life, had a ready smile
and a warm heart. He was a
lover of art and good literature
and above all, loved his fellow
man. Ours was a short acquaintance, but we early discovered his
genuinely human traits of character. We learned to like him very
- well, for in his nature and in his
life he had something that Death
cannot destroy; a perception of
the natural beauties of Life
which he was able to distinguish
from the ugly artificialities; and
it was this trait of his -which
brought him an ever-present
sense of well-being and contentment in the face of that handwriting on the  wall.
Dr. Roy Bixby, 66 years old.
died suddenly on Sunday afternoon. He suffered a heart attack and was removed^ to the Saline General Hospital but died before admittance.
Dr. Bixby, who hadj. practised
denistry in Saline foi^the past
16 years, wos born June 10, 1881
in Hamilton, Michigan and was
the son of Samuel Bixby.
He spent his early life in Saline
and .graduated from the Saline
high school. He also was a graduate of the University of Michigan Dental College and practised denistry in Detroit for many
years prior to coming to Saline.
Dr. Bixby, who was Very active
uji until the time cf his death., is
survived by one son, ■ Meredith
Bixby, of Fecmdale; one daughter,
Mrs. Alvon Klien, of Chicago;
two grandchildren and one csister,
Mrs. Dora Baker of Grand Rapids.
Funeral services were held at
3 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon at
the Oakwood Cemetery, where interment was made.
On Tuesday night at the high
school the members of the Junior Livestock Feeding Club, together with their sponsors ana
parents, had a lovely banquet. It
was a fitting climax to the year's
activity.
The steer-feeding project was.
one of many benefits. It cannot
be measured from a purely financial, standpoint alone. It was
more of an educational xindertak-
ing and the profit from that
angle was great, for those young
people who engaged in it and
who expect to face the future
with farming as their pursuit in
.life, have had. an experience which
they could have gained in no
other way. They worked out
their project under the critical
eyes of the whole community—
and fhe sympathetic interest of
the whole community—and won
the -approbation of the whole
community.
In the writer's estimation, the
Junior Steer Show was. the most
im.portant event of the recent
Fair, and the most satisfactory.
According to the judge of the
show, there was not an animal
in the herd that graded common. We appreciate the efforts
of the Club members, for once
upon a time we fed a trio of
young cattle through the winter,
and sold them in the spring for
just what we paid for them.
We were out our feed and labor
—but rich in experience. They
too, have become rich in experience and gamed it in the limelight of public interest. They
were a mighty fine group of performers and they put on a swell
act.
St. James
Mission
Festival
We would like to believe that
the average reader knows what
is going on in the world today.
We would like to believe that
he knows America is in World
War HI and that the heavy artillery being used is in the shape
"of bread arid meat. We would
like to believe that the reader
knows we will spend in the coming year for these materials, for
the destitute of Europe, as much
as it cost us for the first World
• We would like to believe that
the reader senses the danger ^at
threatens his life in this abnormal
world ofx today. That when the
-"resident of the United States
^pleads with all people to save a
slice of bread here and there, to
reduce their consumption of food,
etc. that it is but pointing the
Way to future rationing, and that
the situation is serious.
Many of our readers have relatives in the blasted countries of
Europe; they have done much in
sending food and clothing to relieve their distress.
, But now comes the bitter declaration of war. Russian communism has come out in the
open. It thrives on misery and
unless we relieve the misery of
Western Europe it will sweep
that country. You may not like
it; nobody likes it. But why not
face the facts ? Either" .communism will triumph in this world
or the American system of Democracy.
And we would like to believe
that the average reader, too, believes ih the American system,
and that he is willing to pitoh
with the rest of America's "mill-
ionsi not only for thfe heiiefit of
this present day but %6t the future of our children.
Food is our ammunition 'in the
present war. We can hardly
boast of our overindulgence or
waste, with very "good grace, in
face of all these .grim "facts.
"The Little White Church on
the Highway," St. James on US-
112, half-way between Clinton
and Saline, announces its annual
Mission Festival to its members
and to the public. This festival
will be 'observed next Sunday,
October 12. Two services are
scheduled, one in the morning at
10 o'clock and the second in the
evening at'7:45. Iu the morning service the Rev. "Victor
Sehoen of Hamilton, Ohio, will*
be the xguest speaker.
Rev. Sehoen was born and
raised in Chelsea and is the son
of the well known Rev. Albert
Sehoen, ROM. living^ .J^tirement.
in Dexter.. Like the son, so is
his revered father a son of our
community, born and raised in
Freedom Township. As pastor he
spent the greater part of his long
ministerial years in serving three
congregations in Washtenaw
County, where he was not only
well liked^and loved by the members of the churches he served,
but also by the members of all
other Evangelical and Reformed
churches in the county and- by
the public as well. No doubt,
many of his friends and former
'parishioners 'would like to see his
worthy son in the> pulpit and hear
him preach. We all shall have
that chance and joy next Sunday
at St. James.
In the evening service the Rev.
Sehoen will conduct the liturgical
part of the service and two sons
of two prominent preacher families in our denomination will deliver the appropriate messages.
They are the Rev. Theophil Goe-
bel of Royal Oak, and the Rev.
J. P. Meyer, D.D., of Detroit. I
am sure that we, will hear two
splendid and. most inspiring messages from their lips. Come, and
hear them.
A liberal offering for National
and International Missions will be
greatly appreciated.
All members and friends of
St. James Church as well as. the
public are cordially invite^. $?
this fine, spiritual treat.'.-.-. ,,-
The Sunday School will also
celebrate in a missionary pro^
gram at 11:15 with the Rev.
Sehoen in tlieir midst as their
guest speaker.
