Saline Community Chest Drive
To Kick-off  October 15th
Folks Urged To Give Generously
By Bess H. Tefft
With Saline's Community Chest
Drive due to kick-off on October
loth, folks are urged to plan now
for generous "giving." But to
make the picture complete, let's
see what we are "getting" in return for our once-for-all dona-
•tion.
The United Fund'which benefits
thirty-three State and National
agencies combines with our local
Chest Drive to conserve effort and
reduce the cost of soliciting. Saline's quota this year is $1477. Some
of these United Fund agencies
have memory evading names, but
let's jog our memories about what
they do for us.
We all knew of the USO during
the wartime years, but let's remember the Job still goes on right
now. Some feel it is even more
vital in peace-time, providing as it
does religious, spiritual, recreational and educational outlets for service persons. Directly benefited last
year were 975 individuals from
Washtenaw.
Research and education are conducted by the Heart Association,
and eighty-one persons benefited
last year; particularly through the
"Heart of the Home" program.
Home-bound children and rheumatic fever sufferers received special attention. If you know heart
patients, direct them to the Association.
Many county people went traveling last year, and 1079 of these
asked for aid from the Traveler's
Aid Society, 23 percent of whom
were aided in complex problems requiring the services of the agency's
caseworkers.
The Arthritis and Rheumatism
Foundation aided 209 people in
Washtenaw la^t year, and the
Michigan Epilepsy Center, devoted
to diagnostic, research, and educational efforts directly aided ten.
Washtenaw's Children's Aid
Branch is financed locally, but the
Central office is financed by the
United Fund and last year 49 persons benefited as children were
placed in adoptive homes.
Who can measure the benefits
locally from the Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial Laboratory at Bar
Harbor, Maine where work is being done on problems of disease
growth, such as cancer. Improved
techniques, experimental material,
and understanding come to us from
this lab which our United Fund
helps support.
The Multiple Sclerosis Society
aided two in our county last year;
the Cerebral Palsy Assoc, benefited four; thei Association for Better Hearing conducted lip reading
classes, gave consultations and
conducted its educational program;
the Sister Kenny Foundation
helped two; the Leader Dogs for
the Blind assisted one person who
received a dog at a cost of about
$1287 per. dog and training; and
the American branch of International Social Service aided six from
Washtenaw  County.
When you make an appraisal
of what you can give this fall remember that the United Fund
combines ALL of these worthy services already mentioned, plus many
more which received a smaller proportion of the total; agencies like
the Child Welfare League, Big
Brothers of America, National
Child Labor Committee, National
League For Nursing and others,
making a total of thirty-three.
How can you be sure that these
agencies are worthy ones? You've
never heard of them—perhaps?
Well, groups that you have heard
of, and laymen who are respected
in their communities, meet on the
State level, review the agencies,
their budgets, their services, their
goals and organization. After this
careful yearly evaluation, the
United Fund, based upon the "Give
for all" principle is determined.
Saline's quota is based upon our
giving ability.
Bacjting the United Fund are
the Michigan State Medical Society, the state's Manufacturers'
Association, the Retailers Association, the Federation of Labor, the
Farm Bureau, the State Grange,
the CIO Council and Michigan AFL.
Of course it's too bad that old
fashioned giving to a neighbor in
need is not effective enough today. But our complex world demands a new kind of generosity.
The best answer so . far; to this
need is giving through the Community Chest.

Saline Football Squad
Starts Season Out Right
Saline, fighting for the ball all the time last Friday night, which
payed off by the Hornets winning 19-6.
Saline Rd. One-Way
On Home Gaine Days
Saline Rd., from the Expressway
to Stadium Blvd., will handle oneway'traffic before and after the
University's six home football
games this fall.
Before the Saturday games,
traffic will be limited to one-way,
northbound. For a while after the
games, it will be limited to oneway, southbound.
This was one of the decisions
reached when plans were outlined
for the handling of football traffic.
Making Saline Rd., a one-way
throughfare, is expected to expedite a heavy flow of traffic to and
-from the Stadium from such cities
as Detroit and Toledo via the Expressway.
At a meeting at the Michigan
Union were some 19 representatives of the Ann Arbor and Ypsiianti police departments, the sheriff's department, the Michigan
State Police, state and county
highway departments^ the Ann Arbor Board of Public Works and the
Ann Arbor High School. The
U-M's Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics was host at the
luncheon.
Officials said traffic coming into"
Ann Arbor from the west will be
routed via Stadium Blvd., and it
is hoped that at least one lane of
the new US-23 around Whitmore
Lake can be put into use to "speed
up' the handling of traffic from
the north.
The new highway is open between Ann Arbor and Whitmore
Lake.

The big football season got underway last Friday afternoon with
a Saline High School pep assembly.
The students all showed a great interest by cheering the team as they
were introduced, and participating
in  the  studeht-cheerleading yells.
The Saline Hornets launched
their 1957 football season with a
bang by defeating Pinckney, 19-6,
on Saline's home field.
The Saline team scored twice
during the early minutes of the
second quarter and added a"*touch-
down- in the last minutes of the
final quarter.
Pinckney's only score came after an 89 yard dash in the third
quarter.
Halfback Don Wild ran 20 yards
for the first Saline touchdown
and when Pinckney fumbled on the
third play after the kickoff, .the
Hornets ran 25 yards for another
touchdown. Thisi time Larry Lange
passed 12 yards to end Bill Bracy
in the end zone. Dick Lehtonen
kicked the extra point.
Pinckney tallied in the third
quarter after a Saline drive had
fizzled out on the Raiders 11.
Pinckney went the 89 yards-in 12
plays, with Dick Kennedy throwing 12 yards to Lonnie Huhnian
for the touchdown.
The final score for Saline came
from 19 yards out, with Bob Rath-
fon going over on a quarterback-
keep play.
Although it was very foggy, and
even though Saline was predicted
to lose, there was a good crowd
for the first night."
