Member of the Saline Chamber of Commerce
SALINE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1958
It is seldom that' you will find
I give up trying to* this  column devoted to any one
change things. An example: The
other morning just as I walked in
the door Larry said, "Say, guess
what Laddie did! - well, having
gone through this many, many
times and giving the stock answer
"What?", I decided to change it a
bit and replied, f'I don't know,
maybe played the first movement
of Beethoven's fifth- syn_£_to__J gjj
a mouth harp." This got me nowhere. The looks that were exchanged around the office were
indicitive of "He's ready for the
men in the little white coats."
Never _do I get a simple question
like "What time is it?" This 1
could answer if I had remembered
to wind my watch.
Monday just after the mail arrived Mrs. Sikes popped into my
office and said, "Say,' we had a
letter from  , a former employee today and what do you suppose he is doing now?" I was a-
bout to give my cirstontary *shr_g
when I had an inspiration. "Substituting as seconft clairhet in Spi-
talni's all Girl Orchestra", I replied. Her only answer was "I forgot, I've got a lot of work to do
out here", as she slightly stomped

Saturday morning Bruce; Larry
and I were having coffee over at
the bakery when Bruce casually
said, "Do you know What this guy
did last night?" "No," I replied.
"Well, just guess." I was.tempted
to reply, "He cut his middle finger
on the left hand trying to open a
ten ounce can containing 14 jumbo size ripe olives.'^ However I
meekly said, "what?"
I'm equally frustrated by some
of the querries put to me by the
small fry. They too go for the "out
of the blue" occasionally, but seem
to prefer other patterns. One of
their favorites is the "horns-of-
the-delemma'. For example; one
looked at me reflctiveiy the other
day and asked "Which would you
rather do - fall off a forty story
building or be eaten by a man eating shark?" A,person can't simply evade the question either by replying "I'd rather someone would
hit me over the head with a 1958
hardtop," And you can't merely
state^jj&t both alternatives sound
ettjjR»iad. A person must comit
pPphpjy'saying, "I guess I would
rather fall off the building. The'
end would come quicker", but the
youngster will come back with
something like, "Not if the shark
immediately bit your head off."
I walked into a friend's home
the other evening to find him. up

Small Group
Attend The
Zoning Meet
A public hearing on the Saline
zoning question was held last
Thursday night at the high
school auditorium with only a
handful of people present. This
was to be the final public hearing4 before the' question of acceptance or refusal goes to the city
council.
Chairman    Robert Moon    of
the Planning and Zoning Commission,   explained   the   few
changes that had been made in
the original plan and also    ex- '
plained just what might be done
in each of the zones   according
to the present ordinance.
Moon  explained that an    area
zoned  single      family      dwelling
would be restricted to just that
One  classification.      A      multiple
dwelling area might contain both
multiple or single family   homes.
Commercial property could"  conceivably house     some     multiple
dwellings   while   industrial  zoned
areas would be permitted to have
only industry or commercial property.
City Attorney, Pat Koesch explained that there were exceptions   in   the   industrial zoned
areas in the    cases where    the
property had      already      been
platted and one individual might
own only one lot.     This   area
would not be attractive   to industry  or  commercial  property
and    an    exception    might    be
made in these cases.
Roesch also explained that any
non-conforming property now   in
existance or in existance at   the
time  the ordinance takes    effect
will be permitted to remain. However, if the non-conforming property ever be    discontinued    for
any reason then it would immediately come under the terms of the
new ordinance.
One of the     most     interesting
|^qii}Jswbrpuglit...Qukjik. this, megfe
ing was when Attorney    Roesch
said that it was    estimated   that
less than    ten    percent    of:   the
property in the city proper would
be changed from its existing zone
by the new ordinance other, than
multiple  dwelling areas.
The Saline Junior Chamber
of Commerce attended the meeting in a body and they asked to
be put on record as approving the
work of the present planning
commission and asked that every
effort be-made to allow the commission to continue* their work
now on through completion.
