This week the Observer will start a new contest feature that
will be open to. all subscribers of the Observer. Each week we will
choose at random the -name of a subscriber from our file and insert that name in some ad that appears in the Observer. The
name will be, what in our trade is called, buried. In other words,
you'll have to look for it to find it but it'll be there.
We hope that by the addition of
Jaycees Say:
By President Bob
Tolerance must be other than
the neutrality of an uncertain
mind. That is one of the requisites
of freedom. We accept freedom,
we enjoy it, we waste it—and
sometimes lose it. Tom Paine said,
"Those who expect to reap the
blessings -of freedom must, like
men undergo the fatigues of supporting it." The Saline Jaycees
challenge you, the people of Saline,
to the task of supporting freedom.
What is this freedom we talk
about? Everyone is talking about
it. But apparently, everyone does-
not know what they are talking
about. Are we free to do as we
please and to let others do as they
■ please? Certainly not. We are
then free, not to do as we WANT
to do but free to do as we
SHOULD do. The problem is then,
' * "What should we do?"   One thing
we should do about freedom is to
take an interest in local and national government. With this as
a direct objective the Michigan
Jaycees have formed a project
called, "Operation Survival". Saline felt the first effects of this
program when your local Jaycee
Club recently made a door to door
campaign to- get the citizens of
Saline registered to vote. Again j
in October the Saline Jaycees are j
going to conduct another phase of
''Operation Survival". This will
-consist of a series of lectures in
which problems and issues of local and national government will
be the object. These lectures will
be non-partisan and discuss all
sides of the issues brought up.^he
Saline Jaycees are an impartial
and non-partisan group. As such
we will bring you the facts just as.
we find them.
, What would you say if someone
were to ask you, "Should the Saline City Charter remain as it it?"
Do you know that five men are
elected to the council every two
years? Thus, there stands the
possibility of a whole new council,
thereby losing the experience gained by a term in office. Why isn't
the Charter made to read that the
terms1 of the Gouneilmen should
overlap? Why elect them all at
the same election? What do you
think? And did you know that
they could all quit at any time under the present provisions of the
Charter?
This is not necessarily the opinions of the Jaycees, but merely a
thought that has not been considered for somtime. The Jaycees do
feel, however, that more than five
men should run for th City Council. Otherwise, why have an election? To see a man step'forward
and say that he is willing to run
for Councilman in Saline is truly
gratifying. There are sueh men
in Saline and I am sure you will
hear about them before November.
What are you going to do when
confronted with the problems of
local and national government?
What every American should do is
listen. Get all the facts on an
issue. Then decide for yourself
which are best. Then vote. The
apathy toward local and national
governmnt is truly shocking. Don't
sit on the fence. It has been said
that, "The hottest place in Hell is
for the man who, during the time
of crisis, retains his neutrality.

Schoolmates Enjoy
Reunion Saturday
What is more enjoyable than a
day spent in the company of a
few tried and true friends? This
was the thought uppermost in the
"minds of eleven old schoolmates of
Saline High School who met last
Sat. for their fourth annual reunion.
After luncheon at White Gables,
Ypsilanti, they met at the home of
Mrs. George Millage for one of
those old fashioned visits so dear
to the heart of every lady.
The reunions have been made
possible by the untiring efforts of
Mrs. Fannie Watson. Those present were: Leah Schroen-Gaitung,
Lansing; Ruth Sturm-Briggs, Detroit; Blanche Gordon-Gauntlett,
Milan; Olive Mbore-Raaf, Ann Arbor; Hazel Powler-Millage, Ypsilanti; Fannie Briggs-Watson, Chi-
'cago; Clara Sturm-Lindenschmidt,
Anna Stang-Briggs and
Clarke-Towlex', Saline.
Fund raising was the main topic
for discussion at an American Legion meeting held Thursday, August 7.
The Legion hopes to have a Carnival. Date for the carnival has
been tentatively set for the latter
part of this month. The city has
given permission for the carnival
to be held, but Legion officials
have been unable to contact the
owner of the show, according to Ce
cil Albertson, commander.
The Legion will have a stand at-
the Fair this year. It wil be a refreshment stand and will also be
used to try and sign up new members. All Legion activities will be
held on the fair grounds this year,
according to Albertson and the Legion is Joking- forward to working
with and assisting the Fair Board
in having a bigger and better fair
than ever.
During the fair the Legion is going to raffle off many items including a portable electric sewing
machine, an electric mixer, an automatic toaster and a clock to
raise money for the Memorial
Home Association.
It was tentatively decided to

county convention held Wednesday
night in the County Court House.
Delegates to the county convention
were this year Ah- the first time
water townships and Saline City
with Alwin Gross as alternate.
Congressman George Meader
was the keynote speaker and gave
a forceful discourse on the state
of the government under Democratic rule for 20 years. A member
of several important committees of
investigations even before becoming a Congressman he spoke with
authority and his revelations were
■startling.
He suggested that the numerous
'emergencies" which call for almost dictatorial powers on the part
f'of the President might be planned
An unidentified person, or
persons put a padlock on the
gate of the right of way now in
dispute between Herman Bredernitz, of 419, N. Ann Arbor and
the city.
Members of the Department
of Public Works found the gate
locked Tuesday morning when
they tried to get to the water
works, and had to break the
lock to get in. The gate was not
locked Wednesday morning.
Last week, Bredernitz gave
the City an ultimatum to build
a fence on the City owned land

He rallied the party to recapture Washington and restore the
government to the people as was
the intent of the founders. His
four point program included restoring freedom and self determination to the common people, honesty in government, sympathy with
foreign problems and an appeal for
the general good with elimination
of class hatred, prejudice and crass
selfishness.

The major business of the county convention was to elect delegates to the state convention to be
held Saturday, August 16, in Lansing. The state convention will
nominate the rest of the Democratic slate to appear on the November ballot. John P. Dawson, Democratic candidate for    Congress
recently had ten puppies, five
males and five females. Only nine
puppies are left. One was handled
to much by Mrs. Bolz' little girl
and died, leaving five females and
four males.
The family also has a heifer, 10
months old. When she wants an
apple she goes out and shakes a,
limb until an apple drops off. If
she is unable to shake one down
she goes to another tree.

The duties of Captain Deede'S
squadron were to take photos of

At a special meeting of the ,
City • Council, held Tuesday
night, Pat Roesch, attorney for
the City, had a resolution approved by ihe Council which offers to buy 20 to 25 acres of
land from Bredernitz adjacent
to the wells, and also full rights
to the right of way for $150 an
acre.
-If this offer is refused, then
the city will start condemnation
proceedings.
Several other items of interest were discussed at the Council meeting.
Whether or not the new sewer charge should apply to people
who use from 40,000 to 100,000
gallons of water quarterly was
discussed. It was pointed out
that the 50% of water bill sewer charge now being assessed
might not be fair for people who
use a large amount of water. It
was decided that further study
of the situation was needed before a definite decision could be
reached.
The .owner of the Saline Froi>
en Food Locker appeared before
the council to discuss whether
or not he should be assessed the
new sewer tax. He pointed out
that he was outside the city
limits and should not be obligated to pay the new tax. A
motion was made and passed
that establishments outside the
City Limits not be effected by
the sewer charge levied July 1,
and that the standard sewer
charge that was in effect before
July 1, remain so.
