It was good to see so many
flags flying in Saline yesterday.
Any outsiders traveling through
couldn't accuse the Saline citizens of lack of loyalty to their
flag and country.
e
Speaking of people travelling
through, they are still coming
in droves — Kansas, Colorado,
Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio,
Texas—no end in sight. We
can only reason that if so many
out-of-state people reach Saline, this town must certainly
be a popular community in a
popular state.
•
Accident reports for the
Fourth of July holiday are not
totaled yet, but if traffic everywhere in the country moved
as smoothly and carefully as
it did past our window, results
of fatalities would be comparatively low. Chief Albertson and
Officer Joseph deserve a commendation for their alertness
in keeping every motorist possible, conscious of the fact that
the Main Drag of Saline is not
a speedway.
•
If you know anyone who
owns a big gray tomcat that
has been loose in the business
section of town, they might
like to know that said cat has
had two narrow escapes with
passing automobiles — in spite
of the careful driving. Assuming that" cats do have nine lives,
this leaves ranly seven for
"Master Tom", providing he
hasn't used them at other
times.
•
Pale green, mixed with rippling brown and gold—wheat's
getting ripe around this area.
Think what it may mean to millions of starving people in other parts of the world

information from Mrs. Sturm.
This property is privately
owned. There has never been
an alley joining my property.
There have been people using
this property without even as
much as consulting the owner.
The renters in the building
have nothing to do with my action and know nothing about
it."
Mrs.   Sturm.
Ah, the good old summertime. It doesn't matter to the
school age lads "fishing" along
the Saline river that their
equipment consists only of a
branch, some old string and a
safety pin for a hook. Maybe
they don't catch any 'fish, but
they sure have a lot of fun
getting their lines wet, which
is something many adults don't
have a chance to do with all
their business obligations.
Interesting facts—David Far-
ragut, first Admiral of the Na-
v.y, was born on this date in
"•811. About twenty-two years
ago tomorrow, transcontinental
mail service was establish.

Parish Is Wedding Scene
Pvt Feuell is shown here with bandleader Tommy Dorsey
talking over final points of the "Dorsey Show" at Ft. Leonard
Wood, Missouri.
Pvt. Bates Feuell
Home on Leaye
Pvt. First Class Bates Feuell,
son of Rev. and Mrs. R R. Feuell
is home on leave from Fort
Leonard Wood, Missouri.
Private" Feuell was one of
the first men to leave Saline
last September under the new
selective service system set up
as a result of the Korean conflict. A radio announcer and
disk jockey with station WJEF,
Grand Rapids before induction,
Feuell was selected soon after
his arrival at Fort. Leonard
Wood to assist in directing ao-
tivjtSes of Post Special Services at that place.. This branch
is in charge of all entertainment, athletics, recreation, and
service clubs.
The position held by Feuell
is highly important to the army since it involves keeping up
thfe moral of many thousands
of men at the Fort which is
located twenty-five miles from
the nearest town of any size.
Because of this geographic
fact, the type and quantity of
entertainment for personnel has
a direct bearing on the success
of the training program
Working under Private Feuell
are five men, each assigned to
a specific phase of music, tech
nical plans, talent booking and
other operations necessary to
producing large scale camp
shows. Having arrived at Fort
Leonard Wood shortly after it
was re-opened for Korean training, Feuell has produced every
all-camp show since that time.
From the seventh,to the eleventh of June, Feuell produced
and directed "The Fabulous
Twenties," a show put on for
wounded veterans stationed at
Leonard Wood after returning1
from Korea. This show, due
to its_ success, was held over
for three nights, making a total,
of eight performances to a full
house. For his work, Feuell received special commendation
from Major General Samuel B.
Sturgis, Jr., Post Commander
who stated, "It was thS finest
soldier show that I have ever
seen in three mobilizations."
Among the nationally famous
name bands arranged for under
Feuell's, direction are Tommy^
Dorsey, Harry James, Ted Lewis, Johnny Long, Claude Thorn-
hill and Frankie Masters. Future plans call for comedians
Jack Benny, Bob Hope and
Danny Kaye. Preparations are
being made now for specially
transcribed programs from Fort
Leonard Wood* with the announcing handled by Private
Feuell. ,
