City Council Holds
Special Session
Disposal System Plans Are
Discussed; Elsman To Quit
Thursday night, April 10 the
City Council met in special session to take care of the multitude of business items pending.
James Little brought up the
idea of a "planning Commission" to help lay plans for zoning Saline and to plan for the
Sewage disposal system that
must be installed in a few
years. It was pointed out that
it would be wise now to plan
any building or construction
around plans for where the
new sewers must be laid. Mayor
Wolfin named his committee
only tentatively and as soon asj
this is definite we will report
it here.
The paving of Mills Rd. was
discussed and  it  was   decided,
250 Children
Attend Easter
Egg Hunt
About 250 children attended the,
JCC Annual Easter Egg Hunt
held at Saline High, Saturday, April 12.
Because of the bad -weather the\
egg hunt was held inside. However, everyone had a whale of a
good time anyway, and almost every child found at least a few of
the 1200 eggs which were hidden
in different areas of the school.
The children's ages ranged from
pre-school to nine years, and they
were divided into three different
age groups. Twenty-three lucky
eggs were hidden and the children
who found them were awarded
prizes.
Among the prize winners were:
Janis Joe Jordan, David Williams,
Nora Bixby, Larry Hieber, Bruce
Car,   Louis   Turf,   Jack   Homes j
Jerry  Hieber,  Steven Car, Doug- \
las Hehr, David Katz, Dennis Le-'
mons, Janis Austin, Patty Bodour,
Page  McKeen,     Donna. Richards,
Carol    Sevey,    Jimmy    Camburn,i
Bobby  Staring, Tommy  Jeppesem
and   Jimmy  Jorden.     Two   other,
children left  before their  names
could be taken.
that it was of utmost urgency
that this be done. The council
reels that a long range plan of
paving in Saline will save thousands of dollars in yearly maintenance costs. This action was
not made into a resolution as
yet pending bids for the paving
from various  contractors.
A surprise was handed the
council at the meeting when
councilman Adrian Elsman
turned in his tentative resignation. Mr. Elsman. stated simply,
after his first vacation in Florida, that he was going to move
to Florida to live.
Mr. Elsman's term would expire this November. He has been
on the council for two terms
serving as mayor from 1948 to
1950. Mayor Wolfin may appoint a successor to fill out the
unexpired term or he may leave
the vacancy until election.Eith-
er is legaJ. and is at the discretion of the mayor.
Mr. Elsman now is employed
as a salesman of auto parts, for
Silkworth's -and he has been
living in Saline for the past 17
years. His plans call for him to
leave about the first of June
for a month alone then he will
bring his family along. Mr. Elsman states that there are a
number of things he 'can do for
a Jiving in Florida but as yet
he is not certain which he shall
choose.

Easter Services Held
By Catholic Church   -
For the first time in the history
of Saline, the Catholic' church held!
Easter services. The services were
held at the Valentine  school.
The church is under the jurisdiction of Fr. L. 0. Kennedy of!
St, Andrews in Ann Arbor. Father
Coffee was the priest in charge of
the Easter service.
The altar was beautifully decorated with flowers and new yellow drapes which were hung behind the altar. Mrs. Emil Sattler
had charge of the decorations*.       '
Coach Dale Bulemore announces that he has picked the
1952 version of the Hornet
baseball team. The blue and
gold nine will be built around
pitcher Dick Hoeft, catcher
Vem Drake, first baseman Dick
Miller, second sacker Ron Finkbeiner, third baseman Bob
Leutheuser, shortstop Walfred
Larson, left fielder Doug El-
fring, centerfielder Dick Wied-
mayer, and right fielder Jim
Schroeder.
These first stringers will be
bolstered by pitchers Steve
MacArthur and Jim Schroeder,
catcher Gerry Miller, first baseman Dave Bredernitz, second
basemen Dave Zick and Gene
Austin, shortstop Al Gross,
thirdbaseman Charles Anderson, and outfielders Jim Ford,
Glenn Hagen, and Ed Raus.
According to Coach Bulemore, the first three games will
tell the story as far as the
chances of the 1952 Hornet
nine are concerned. The Hornets draw Chelsea, Flat Rock,
and Milan—all top teams again
this season—for their first
three contests.
"We are a veteran team ourselves," says Bulemore, "and on,
that basis we ought to do something in the way of winning
some games. But our first three
opponents will be strong again
and we'll have to hustle if we
want to be contenders for the
Huron League Crown."
For the past two weeks the
locals have been severely hampered by weather conditions in
their attempts to practice outdoors. Several outdoor sessions
were held during the spring vacation last week, but too much
couldn't be accomplished in that
department because of cold
weather and wet grounds.
Mrs. Leonard Hutel is showing
slight improvement in her serious
condition.

The Saline Rotary Club had
a goat as their guest at last
Thursday's meeting. The Goat
was a gift of appreciation from
George Wood to fellow Rotarian
.Ed. Lauhon.
Lauhon, who is part owner
of the Ann Arbor Aero Service,
did a repair job on a plane
Wood borrowed from Dr. Harold Miller. When Wood returned
the plane, he forgot to turn the
master switch off, and, conse-
uently, the battery ran down.
When Lauhon sent Wood the
bill, he also enclosed a note
that read: "The purpose of the
master switch is to disconnect
the electrical current throughout the aircraft, ..It' should be
left in the off position at all
times when aircraft is being
stored.
"Refer to Ohms law — E
equals I over fe, "The switch is
a little gadget that goes up and
down and clicks like a clock.
Recharge battery; -Rental; Remove and install—total $3.50."
Wood, who has been flying
since 1941, appreciated the advice and cancellation of the bill
so much that he decided to give
Lauhon a, present. He also decided that a goat would make
an appropriate gift.
After the presentation,... the
goat was taken outside and tied
to Lauhon's truck. It is reported
that while the Rotarians were
eating steak, their guest was
feasting on upholstery.
Saline Savings Bank
To Feature The
Story Of Banking
Beginning this week, The Saline
Savings Bank will publish in The
Observer the nationally known
syndicated feature "The Story of
Banking" it was announced today
by W. D. Crim, president.
The feature consists.of 52 illustrated stories depicting the history
of banking and the origin of many banking terms from ancient civilization until the present. The
■series shows the human side behind the development of banking
and points out the contributions!
banks have made to the growth of
the American republic as .well as
the free enterprise system.
Washtenaw County can look
forward to its own television
on two stations which may be
built under a plan of the Federal Communications Commission, in Ann Arbor.
The FCC plan, which has just
been adopted calls for 64 new
stations in Michigan. Most of
them will operate in the Ultra-
High Frequency range, which
is an untapned section of the
radio spectrum. Use of this
UHF band and expansion of the
present Very High Frequency
service should eventually permit nearly 2,000 new television
stations in every section of the
nation. The 108 television stations now operating in the
United States are in the VHF
range.
"The adoption of the UHF
plan in conjunction with the/
expansion of VHF means the
beginning of a truly nationwide
television service, with visual
entertainment and education
brought to remote areas mileS
from the nearest cities," stated
Dr. C. B. Jolliffe, vice president
and technical director of the.
Radio Corporation of America,
which pioneered the development of UHF television. "We
are ready to build the transmitting and receiving equipment
to bring about this national
television service."
■ When new stations are built,
home television receivers will
follow quickly, judging from the
experience of present television
areas. Based on the national
pattern, Michigan can anticipate more than 1,000,000 sets a
year or two after the new stations begin operation, with more
than 20,000 sets in Washtenaw
County alone.
Under the FCC plan, near-by-
cities and towns which may ob-!
tain new stations, in addition
to the six stations already in
operation in Detroit, Gr(mdi
Rapids, Kalamazoo and Lansing, are: Ann Arbor, Detroit,
East Lansing, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Lansing, Midland,
Mount Pleasant, Pontiac, Port
Huron, and Rogers1 City.
Burglars broke into the Saline!
High School Wednesday morning
sometime between 12 o'clock and
6:30 a. m. and robbed the school!
safe of about $230 in cash. All
but $5 of the money belonged to
the student accounting fund. A
check was left untouched.
The burglars entered the school
by breaking a top window in the
third grade room -on the main
floor. They then broke a glass on
the door, of Supt. Jensen's office,
and entered the inner office where
the safe is located.
Although the safe was unlocked!
the burglars didn't think to try
the door. Instead they chiseled a
three foot hole through a wall-
about  one foot thick.
According to school authorities!
the loss was covered by insurance.
•The school building was lighted
Tuesday night because of the Educational Advisory Committee
meeting, and the burglars may
have thought some school function,
was going on and that they could
steal the night's receipts.
The burglarly was discovered by
Earl Culliton, building custodian,
'about 7 a.m. Wednesday mourning.
The Clinton High School was also broken into Wednesday morning and police believe there .Bay
be a connection between the two'1
cases. State Police have entered)
the investigation.
