/* Sim  III,  Visits  His  Grandfather's
Old    Newspaper    Plant,    Here
A strikingly handsome man
slopped in at the office of The
Saline Observer, Tuesday and
announced that he would like
to see the shop that his grandfather had operated for many
years.
Introducing himself, he said,
"I'm Sim Wilson, HE- I've heard
my grandfather tell about his
experiences here at SaUne and
I just wanted to stop in and see
place."
Wilson, a Lt. j.g. in the Navy,
had just been separated from
service at Boston, Mass. and
r"! on 'lis way home to Marys-
viTe. Washington. He planned
t-> t-^'e several weeks to make
the journey home and included
Letter    To
The    Editor
The following merchants and
business men of the city attended a meeting last Monday for
the purpose of prompting co-
c^ei-ftion among the merchants
c^ Spline: Roy Dechert, Robert
Fliiefer. Dorothv Walker, Alfred Schmidt, Robert Moon, Arthur Hagen, Sam Lambarth
and Leon Vetter.
Larry Deede expressed a will-
in err.pert, f0 g0 pJong with any
proposals but was unable to attend because he was out of
town.
The conclusion to be drawn
from this would seem to be
that these are the only merchants interested in any sort
of co-operation. Surely this is
not the case. Shall we give it
another try, or shaU we admit
that we are not interested in
any sort of cooperative effort?
It   certainly  won't   hurt  the
city  and  it might  go  a    long
way toward improving the competitive position of the city-

OTHER HOSPITALS HAVE GROWN
- WHY HOT SALINE'S?
• Some of the main attractions
that a community is judged on
by persons looking for" a new
community to live in are, school
facilities, hospital facilities, city
servces including fire and po-
lce protection.
It is not difficult to see at a
glance that Saline has much to
offer in all departments, except
hospital facilities.
It is very apparent to all
that Saline is in a position to
grow to a great extent within
the next ten years or so.
It is also apparent that it
has grown within the last ten
years, but our hospital facilities remain the same. Do you
know of another hospital in
ashtenaw County that has not
built large additions within the
last ten years, including St. Joseph Mercy and University at
Ann. Arbor and Beyer at Ypsilanti,"* arid also Tecumseh Hospital? The problem we face has
been faced and met by these
communities.
We are fortunate that we
have people operating our local
hospital who are the right sort
of people and interested in offering the best of services.. But
as it takes more than brick and
mortar to make a fine institution, it also takes more than
the personal willingness to
serve, it must be coupled with
the right kind of a physical
plant.
I know of no short cuts in
cost or work to make our desires a reality, it is the same
old story of all giving as niuch
as they can, not only of money
but also of their time and interest.
The new hospital was started a long time ago in-the hundred dollar contribution most of
the business men of Saline gave
to purchase the land which we
own, free.and clear. It was also
started by the many meetings
the hospital committee has
held for several years, and
now it is being started in the
interest you have in it, no one
knows when it will be finished.
Perhaps the interest you put
into it will decide that date.
A CITIZEN.
Rev. Walter J. Field, lecturer,
English educator and missionary from the Holy Land will
present his timely lecture and
sound motion pictures on "Life
in War-Torn Palestine" at The
Methodist Church, on Sunday

and original sound film on
Palestine. Contrasting the life
of the modern Jew in the State

Ofi" the customs and traditions
tures a coverage of the entire
country from Dan to BeersKeba,
Mr. Field will show" pictures,
in sound and color, of the work
of the Mission which he represents.

the sermon. The ministry of
music will be in charge of Karen Taylor, organist and Mrs.

Following a previous tradition the Thanksgiving Offering
will be directed to an interdenominational project. Local
leaders have chosen to give support to the Christian Rural
Overseas Program (CROP)
which distributes food to hungry people in other countries. It
has been emphasized that
Thanksgiving affords an appropriate time to the "Share Our
Surplus" program which has
been made possible through the
cooperation of congressional action and World Service agencies of the Churches.
It is now possible for every
twenty dollars worth of surplus
dollar that is given to take
food out of storage and place
it in the hands of hungry children or old people in the needy
areas of the world. Saline will
have its opportunity to answer
the SOS call on Thanksgiving
Eve.
