Tea to the north.
The annual steer Fair judging
Mntest was being,held at the

examples of sjfcerhood were
carefully studied by Judge Victor

ALICE SHEEHAN'S     1,0-0-
Pound Hereford named Georgie

wuance and thickness."    * .
NEIL HAARER'S   1,050-pound
Hereford named Peanuts. This
husky steer had all the   mak-
?gs of a champion but in the
Judge's opinion    was a "little
overdone—should    have    been
?n°wn three   weeks   earlier—
»cks the quality and smoothness of the Grand Champion."

Every year now a thunderbolt can be expected! to hit
in Saline?—the thunderbolt of the selection of Miss Saline.
.Bob Chezi ast pasted pf cerepdmes/Attempted to put off
'the strike as long as lie could by pretending that the ceremony was over just before he announced the name of the
winner. Then, as might be expected when the lightning
strikes, a kind of pandemonium broke loose. There were
■tears, there were gasps, there were squeals, there was
cheering, clapping, a craning of necks and the quick daylight of dozens of flashbulbs.
John Jedele - 1    .

And of course, not listed above
is Alice's one steer, the Grand
Champion.
A word or two about the Steer
Club should be said here. According to Gerald Haarer, the Club
buys a carload of steers and
"members make their selections
by drawing numbers from a hat.
The steers are raised, fed and
groomed by the young club members. Thus the matter of bringing up a Grand Champion or not
depends upon the ability of each
young person in the group.
Anyone wishing to loin the
Steer Club for 1959 should contact Gerald Haarer or Alton
Ealy, advisors, by Oct 15. Appli-'
cants must be 10 to 21 years of
age, arid residents of the Saline
area.

Salinians know Saline,
Quiz Contest proves
Saline folk showed themselves
exceptionally well informed
about their city as Lee Robison, as ,
quizmaster, rattled off a string
of '-absolutely rights" in judging
replies"'to questions about Saline
businesses; persons and institu-
fions.
This "Saline Quiz" preceded
the "Miss Saline" judging at the
Saline Community Fair on Thursday night.''
A. la any television quiz show,
Ken Rogers and Art Moehn circulated in the audience with trav-
(Continued. on page 4)
Frances, a sparkling-eyed brunette, was selected as Miss Saline

night air.
Seventeen cool and poised (especially    COOL)    young   ladie3
wer. driven up the bandstand on
the Saline Community fairground
Thursday    evening.   They were
then escorted, one by   one, by a
United   States  Marine    in    full
dress,  to a    microphone, where
they were asked questions about
themselves,   their   families, and
their favorites in sports, movie.,
television,  etc' and were seated
to await the judging.
"What most    beauty *-__«_"."
they must have thought, as in
-•reahouldered formal dieaaes,
they surveyed the   winter-cla-l
crow-. No doubt about it    it
was a   chilly evening*, ju_t the .
thing for   a   bumper crop ot
goose pimples.
The new Miss Saline enters upon a year of representing the
community at many and various
events. Her charming smile will
be a token of welcome at dinners

Unexpected interview
with Miss Saline
Even in slacks and jacket and
blouse, Frances Visel, new "Miss
Saline" looks lovely. And this was
how she was when a reporter
chanced to meet her on Michigan
Ave., the other.'evening..
What would "you say if you
were selected Miss Saline? (Of
course this question eliminates
such persons as Len Wight, Marty
Hemenway, L. Z. Still, Eugene
Leutheuser and a good many
others.)
You would probably say, as
Miss Saline of 1959 said: 'It's
WONDERFUL!"
Then you might go on and confide to the reporter that you had
a "feeling" for numbers Ypu
would say- that you received 13
long-stemmed red roses -for winning, and that you were number
13 to mount- the platform the
evening of the announcement of
winners.
And you might tell the reporter
that years ago a fortune teller
Radio,' Gamble's. Store, Walker's ^had said that seven would be
Variety Store, the. Cut and Curl  your lucky number.
