Road,   before  buying   the   Loren
Jfoore farm in 1866 on the Salfne-
ilooreville Road, which remained

Mrs. McBride commenced school
in the Shaw District school, where

J. Hildner, pastor of" the  Bethel
Church, Freedom  township,  went
to Detroit as pastor of St. Paul's
Evangelical Lutheran Church, and

Later she married Oscar James
McBide, and her married life was

death. But in the fall of 1927 Ms.
McBride came to Saline to reside
with her sisters, the Misses' Aga-
•f 'ha, and Augusta Jos'enhans, since
"' ("Well time this has been her
borne.
In the 90's Mrs. McBride had the
opportunity to visit her relatives
in Germany, and her 'knowledge
of the language enabled her to
translate from the German script
her father's diary, which he wrote
from the time he left Germany
until his arrival'in Ann Arbor. A
member of the Woman's" Christian
Temperance Union, she was treasurer for' many .years of the

Farmer's" Club, the first farm organization in the southern part of
the county, and is a member Of
the Washtenaw County Historical
Society.
'Mrs. McBride has seen great
changes in the world's history, and
through reading and study, s'he has
kept up to date in events. She has
demonstrated that "the way to keep
young is to be active, be interested in people and affairs,
staunch in her convictions of the
right, bravely carrying on during
stress', but yet maintaining a sense
of humor.
She has nieces and nephews in
Aim Abor, Detroit, Adrian, Bliss-
field  and many   sections'  of  the

Blood Bank to!       New Teen Canteen Grand Opening
Visit Saline
July 23rd
Again, July 23rd, the Community
of Saline is being visited by the
Red Cross Bloodmobile Unit. Their
previous visit made here, was in
January of 1956, at that time. Only
29 pints was donated. There "were,
of course all kinds of people who
were willing, and intended to give
blood, but for various reasons, they
just did not make it.
Each donor is carefully checked
for their own protection as well as
that of-the blood supply since it
requires a large staff from the Red
Cross, as well as local volunteer
help. These volunteer's are happy
to do the work, especially when the
people take an interest in something that -is for everyone in the
community.
125 pints are desired, this' supply
is based on what we've used in
the past and what we might need
for emergencies in the future.
Three fourths of the blood is credited to the local bank and the
other one fourth is for National
Uses.
The Rotary Club has shown
their interest by contributing -toward the purchase' of refreshments
needed for the donors. You may
phone either Mrs. Robert Morton
at 575J or Mrs. Ed Hering, at 366.
The residents of our community, as well as the employees of
participating local industries are
protected for their blood needs.'
Universal Die Casting management'
appreciated this and are allowing
their employees time off in order
to give.
From time to time people^ here
have needed blood' and it has been
very gratifying that we have had it
to release. One never knows when
they, or a member of their family
will . need blood, especially now
with , tornadoes and summer
storms.
Will your conscience allow you
to sit back, and "let George do it!"

the teenagers. If they want to
dance and holler and yell and act
crazy, ok. Everything the kids
want, Neil is going to try very
hard to get for them. The kids will
be let go, until someone starts
getting a little too rough. But I
think the kids will, or at least
should, realize that this! is being
done just for them, and if they
"goof it up," they are going to
be hurting themselves," and depriving themselves of a lot of
fun. We hope all you teenagers
will show up and show Neil we
really appreciate what he's doing
for our future citizens of Saline.
