"No such system should be disturbed merely to satisfy the ego
of one person or his demand foi
more power. Governors come and
go, but government must carry
on and that- is why most of the
beards and commissions o:
which the present governor now
complains were created."
Should the governor of Michigan have new and additional
powers over departments, commissions and bureaus?
Is the governor, as has been recently cnaiged, merely a "glorified clerk" '.

former lieutenant governor, auui-

Next Tuesday will be a red «
letter day for both young and
old as it is' the occasion of the
famous "donkey basketball"
which is being brought to Saline
direct frcm Oklahoma.
This ever popular game will
provide much fun for everyone
since the players will all be local
athletes, including boys, girls,
business men, farmers, teachers,
our school team and some of the
fathers.
The game is played with each
player astride one of the western "donkeys, and since these animals are trained one never knows
just what is going to happen
next. Since the games are to be
played in the school xgymnasium,
the donkeys are provided with
special rubber shoes that will
not harm the floor. The riders
are provided with a special cushion in ca§e it is needed.
There will be a matinee in the
afternoon at which time two
■games will be played, the players
consisting of teams from the lower grades and members of the
different high school classes. No
doubt the members of the faculty will compete in one of the
halves. The game is limited to
'two halves and different teams,
will compete each half, which
will give more people on oppor-
