© Marvelous weather, coupled
with a tremendous amount of
planning and hard work hy the
members of the Saline Community Fair Board, and the enthusiasm of the community folks in
general, made this year's Saline
Fair the best of all to date. It
drew many visitors from neighboring communities. The four
day program was varied and interesting and the exhibits excellent and included some very
odd ones . . . for instance, Rose
Ann Camburn's silver shaving
set, a 100-year-old cradle, a
sausage packer, a coffee mill,
candle molds, pewter ware, butter' ladles, and a crazy quilt exhibited by Mrs. Roy Stoddard,
made back in 1891. Norman.
Rause's miniature Rumley tractor attracted a. lot of attention-
as did Andrew Ltfckhardt's wood
work in the handicraft department, also Jackie Hoeft and
Carlene Hinderer's elaborate
ranch house. The Cub Scout
Pack No. 146'had a very nice
arrangement which rated a blue
ribbon, too'. Harold Price exhibited several sketches which
showed remarkable talent and
William Lutz exhibited the largest pumpkin and a Northern
Spy apple almost as big as a
pumpkin. ©Mr. and Mrs. John

Russell .Wright iHome
Badly Damaged
By Fire
An estimated, damage of
$4,000 was incurred at about
8:30 Saturday morning when
an oil heater in the basement
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Russell Wright, 212 North Lewis street, caused smoke and fire
damage throughout the entire
structure.
The floor and floor joists
were badly damaged by fire
and the remaining damage was
caused by the heavy smoke
which poured from every crevice in the building and the water used to extinguish it,
Mr. and Mrs. Wright were
awakened by neighbors when
they discovered smoke pouring
from the building. They attempted to phone the fire department but the instrument
was too hot to handle and the
alarm was sent in at a neighborhood phone.
Upon the arrival of the firemen the smoke was so dense
that the source of the fire was
difficult to ascertain immediately and water was pumped for
a half hour before the fire was
subdued. Six thousand gallons
of water were used. The house
and contents were covered by
insurance.

The theme of the next weeks edition will be Freedom Abroad—
and Freedom at Home!
With America engaged in a
fight against aggression . and ty-
rany on foreign soil, all patriots
willingly accept those temporary
economic controls- which may be
necessary on the home front.
But the sacrifices of our fighting men will be futile if, here at
home, We lose permanently the
basic freedoms which have made
this Nation great.
Those freedoms are under serious threat. The danger has been
dissipated in part, but it still
exists. The trend toward State Socialism in America has been slowed but not stopped.
At this time of National emergency, the need is for Community-
wide and Nation-wide action to
guarantee the preservation of
basic American ideals.
You can join legions of your fellow Americans taking part in that
action.
With thousands of other companies, groups and individuals, you
can join in a victory offensive
aimed to deal a strategic blow to
the designs of socializers on the
home front.
i The week of October 8th, The
Saline Observer will join 10,333
daily and weekly newspapers in
■ a campaign for the "Voluntary
Way is the Amercian Way." The
compaign is endorsed by more
than 10,000 National, State and
local organizations. The Salme
Observer for Oct. 12, will carry
this message. Millions of Americans all over the Nation are speaking out in an old-fashioned, "Grass
Roots" Crusade for Freedom,
speaking out for liberty and reawakened individual initiative.
Far sighted business firms and
individuals in Saline are entering
this campaign. Do you, as in individual wish to participate? Do
you as an American want to stand
up and be counted? ,We will run
the Freedom roll call for Saline in
