Marie Kuebler
Wed In Church
Ceremony
Marie Kuebler, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Kuebler of
Manchester, became the bride of
Paul Herter, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Reuben Herter of Ann Arbor. The service was performed
by Rev. T. W. Menzel at the

At an Executive Committee
meeting of the Washtenaw
County Chapter of the American Red Cross on August 21,
1951, the fund raising policy of
the local chapter was reviewed
in light of the recently announced revision of national policy by the American National
Red Cross. The recent revision
of national policy was announced as, "A further effort,
one of many, to cooperate with
industrial, business and labor
leaders' in seeking to raise the
level of giving through widening
the base of fund raising in an
efficient manner." Under the revision, local chapters may cooperate more closely than in the
.past with various community
agencies in seeking to raise
funds in business and industry
in an efficient- manner corresponding to present day condition.
The Red Cross organizational
unit is the County, and it was
recognized by this committee
that the situation of each community within the county may
be different from that of every
other community. The incentive
toward federation of fund raising drives in industry is greater in the more highly industrialized communities of the county
and lesser in other types of
communities. This condition
has already been recognized by
the Washtenaw County Chapter
which last year cooperated with
the United Red Feather in a
joint solicitation of industry
and industrial employees in the
City of Ypsilanti. When it is
decided by the people of any
community   within  the   county
There was more than enough food to go around at the Saline
City Park last Friday noon when members and guests of the
! Saline Steer Club stopped for nourishment at the halfway point
in their annual tour.
Annual Steer Club Tour Is
Complete Success -
The annual summer tour, of
the Steer Club was held Friday,
August 24.
Each of the 29 members'
steers were visited and each
proud owner soon learned how
his efforts compared with those
of the other members. Jesse
Hcwens accompanied the tour
and pointed out the good and
bad points of each animal. From
the comments and experiences
and results of others, each member gained valuable help which
will make for a splendid show
at Fair time.

the community and results from
the conditions existing in that
community.
This committee must and does
recognize the basic Red Cross
.fund raising policy which is,
simply stated, that the Red
Cross must raise its own money
for its own- needs. The Red
Cross may not delegate its fund
raising functions to any other
group, but may cooperate with
other organizations in joint solicitation of corporations or other employers and their employees in c.ommunities where
federation is desired. This action must be limited to business
and industrial solicitation and
must not preclude the regular
annual campaign among the rest
of the community nor special
appeals in the event of emergency.
Within this policy, the local
Red Cross chapter is most willing to cooperate with interested
people in every community in
the county in the most efficient
means of fund raising within
that community.
Ten of the members' parents
accompanied the group on the
entire trip and 58 enjoyed a picnic dinner in the Saline Par.
There were some outstanding
gains recorded and several animals are in good condition for
the final show already. All
agreed that the judge will need
a careful eye to select the grand
champion, as to date a dozen or
more have an equal chance.
Those steers showing the
greatest gain in weight since
the project started are as follows :
1st, 835 lbs., erald Haarer;
2nd, 685, Arnold Girbaeh; tied
for third were the steers of Neil
Haarer and James Austin, both
at 670; 5th, 650, Arlene Diuble;
3th, 645, Gerald Haarer; 7th,
640, Arlene Diuble; 8th, 620,

Teachout-
The remaining 24 steers had
good gains and will be in good
condition at Fair time. Bruce
Arend, president, had charge of
the tour and everyone had a
very enjoyable and worthwhile
day's trip.
Quick response by seven mertf-
bers of the Saline Fire Department Wednesday afternoon,
prevented the spread of a fire
in some baled straw behind Dr.
Buck's residence at Mill road
and Russell street.
Cause of the fire is not yet
known.
The fire fighters arrived on
the scene within tei. _r,inutes after the blaze was discovered.
Moderately stiff winds could
have caused serious damage to
crops in an adjoining field. The
nearest house, some hundred
feet distant, was not in immediate danger since it was sur-
1 rounded by fill dirt in preparation for lawn seeding.

Becomes 5-Millionth
Visitor To RCA Hall
Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Winkler of Saline spent Friday with
Leslie Bailey and Emmett of
York. It was Mr. Bailey's 84th
birthday.
The Donald Swenks of Adrian,
Michigan and their eight year
old daughter, Susan Lee, walked
into RCA's Exhibition Hall in
Rockefeller Center and their
plans for a New York vacation
were changed immediately by a
little electronic counter which
clocked them through the doorway.
The Swenks, Mrs-, Mr. and
Susan Lee, were the 5,000,000th,
5,000,001st and 5,000,002nd visitors to the RCA hall, which was
opened in 1947 as a free public
display of radio and electronic
devices. Susan Lee, first through
the revolving door, led her mother and father to the honor as
number 5,000,000.
They were greeted at the hall

the day, Susan appeared on
Howdy's regular network broadcast.
Photographers' flash bulbs
popped from all directions as
the trio saw themselves on their
own gift television set over a
special "See Yourself" arrangement at the RCA Hall.
All they wanted to do in New
York was to see a television
show, Mr. Swenk said. Before
they left they had appeared on
three telecasts and two radio
shows and were showered with
expensive gifts, tickets to
Broadway shows, and entertained at some of New York's
most famous restaurants.
Mr. Swank, an accountant in
Adrian and a soloist in church
on Sundays, said, "I've always
heard of fantastic things happening to people in New York
but I certainly never expected
anything like this to happen to

number five, driven by Charlie Kruger.
Final Plans Made For Fair
Legion To Install
New Officers
William B. Lutz Post 322 of
the American Legion will install
new ofieers Thursday at 8 p. m.
A special supper will be served
by the Auxiliary following the
meeting. Legion and Auxiliary
members are invited for the installation and farewell party for
Lawrence Deede.

week visiting his mother, Mrs.
Mary Lee, here in Saline. Mr.
Burkhardt has been working in
Evansville, Indiana.
The board voted to purchase
forty more poultry cages to exhibit a much larger poultry show
than has been had before. Arthur Hagen, superintendent, promises a real poultry show this
year.
New regulations governing
the food concessions were approved and the two church
groups asking for stands have
been notified of this change in
regulations.
Kenneth Rogers, chairman of
the evening programs, gave the
complete list of attractions- for
the four nights. Some outstanding entertainment is in store for
the Fair  visitors.

his proposed program for the
big day Saturday, which includes
a reception for the party, tour
of the Fair, dinner and a talk to
the Fair patrons. The board
authorized appropriate banners
for the street signs and special
dinners for the Governor's party only.
Reports were given by Frank
Deede and Donald Wiedman that
already most of the space has
been taken in the exhibitors
tents as well as the farm machinery space.
The only factor which might
cause the plans for a successful
Fair to be impaired would be the
failure of the local citizens to
enter their exhibits in the many
classes offered this year. The
Fair Books will be out this
weekend and plenty of time remains to make selections to help
swell the exhibits of all kinds of
produce and exhibit articles.
