Junior Judgments
(Editor's Note —Las|' week's
question to adults .aic|ised, so
much interesting discussion that
we thought it wotild be fun to
pose it to the juniors this week.
So here goes!)
IF YOU WERE EKf; WOULD  STQU RUN AGAIN?
LIKE SANTA COMING IN JULY, good
fortune struck all four of these Maple Road
youngsters within just a few hours.of each other
last week. Jim Eobinett, Belynne Fritz, David
Fritz and Douglas  Robinett all received brand
new shiny bikes from their parents .. .. and
great was the rejoicing along the block. One of
the youngsters was actually celebrating a birthday .. .. and the other three bikes were apparently just added to help the celebration.
i
David Stump — No. y Ike is
a good man, but there's fno telling what might happen! to his
health if he tries to run again.
Diane Stump I'd  do  just"
exactly what my brother .says.
Taylor Jacobsen — Y.je s, I
would run. I can't think &f any
special reason, except Jhat I
would like to be ..resident!
Tom Hoy — Yes, I would rim.
When you're president, you get
to take trips and things. And
even if you do get sick, you get
the best doctors and hospital
care, so even if you expect to
get sick, the job is still a good
deal.
David Sindlinger— I wouldn't
run. I.would be afraid of getting beaten by the Democrats.
I think Stevenson will beat him.
Ray Schlaff — I would run.
The job pays too much to pass
it up.
Mary Jo Fleming I would
run. Ike has a good chance*-of
winning, so how can he lose by
running?
Mary Soy — I would run. I
would like the job for all the
money it pays.
Jim Klump — No, I wouldn't
run. Four years on that kind
of a job is plenty for anyone.
anchester Schools Mold
Annual Meeting Monday
MANCHESTER — Approximately 40 persons attended the
open meeting of the school-
board on Monday evening held
in place of the regular annual
meeting of the district, no
longer official under the new
sch'ool law.
_ Superintendent of Schools
Robert Masten discussed'the improved curriculm and plans for
next year's courses, and the
financial report was read.
The problem of space for the
eighth grade next fall was discussed, and no decision reached.
Two possibilities were offered.
One was to divide the grade into two sections and open up_the'
Rowes Corners rural school on
Bleasant Lake Rd., and the Spa-
ford School on M 11 for the two
groups;- They would be trans-*
ported by school buses. The
other solution mentioned was to
put the eighth grade in the high
school building.    -
Census figures, completed on
June 9, were announced at the
meeting. ^There are at present
860 persons between the ages of
five and 19 in vthe school district. This is an increase of 41
over last year. In the ages below five, there "are 361 children,
an increase of 27 over last year.
The report gives a total of 1,221
for all persons under age 19 in
the school district, which includes the village and rural
areas which have been annexed.

Oliver Steiner
MANCHESTER — At a special "meeting of the Board of
Education on July 10, it was
decided to call a special election
of the voters in the school district to vote on the annexation
of Pleasant Lake to the Manchester District.
Polls will be open from 1:00-
p.m. to .8:00 p.m./July 25, at
the high school.   Pleasant Lake
willJaold an election d*^to%the
same hours to decide on joining
the Manchester district.
The Manchester School
Board adopted a resolution on
July 11 approving the .annex-
ation of the Pleasant Lake
School District, but -voters in
the district must decide on assuming the "bonded endebted-
ness of the Pleasant Lake Dis
trict and ,raismg_tt3e_„ tax .limitation six mills. A spokesman
for the Board said this last issue does not raise school taxes,
but would be inclined to reduce
them slightly.
The citizen's committee, the
School Board and the school
administration have indicated
they are in favor of the annexation, and that it would benefit
both districts concerned.

FIELD WORKERS FOR  THE W1)EPAR1MENT  OF AG-
RIGULTURE. headed by Dr. Donald Johnson, at the left, are
malting another iatm- to if arm survey in the* battle against
Brucellosis in Michigan dairy herds. With their trailer headquarters once again- set up - at the Saline Mercantile yards, the
team is retracing last year's travels through the county, checking results of the culling of herds which followed that survey.
^Although actual statistics won't, be available until somewhat
later, a spokesman for the group said that all findings in the
connty this week indicate that the testing and culling program
has been highly successful.
The big question among business folks around- the county,
this week is still "Where in the
world will _the new Hoover
plant be located?" '
That question won't be settled for some time, but meanwhile on a somewhat smaller,
scale, several businesses in this'
area have made changes which
indicate considerable faith in
the f uture.
Keith Cammet, of Saline, has
taken «ver the Marathon station
on East Michigan in his, home
town . . Frank Carter has
moved into his handsome new
Texaco station and repair shop
on West Michigan . . Hubert
Beach is now .operating his new
$10,000 rig for the bulk hauling
of milk . *. and Lauren Huber,
Norman Feldkamp, Ken Spicer
and John Marion are keeping
busier than ever hauling Hubert's old route in addition to
their own.
Over in Clinton, Joan Walz
Goodman has opened a brand-
new beauty shop at 106 Tecumseh Street. Joan is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Walz
of Manchester, and chances are
Lthat many of her Manchester
friends will'be seeing her curls
and facial fancy work.

still talking about the fishing
trip which they recently enjoyed up in Canada. Heinie was
the champion angler of the trip
. . but he paid dearly for the
title. -The trip happened to occur-at the height of the "no-see-
it"*fly season, and the tiny critters bit Heinie so  badly about
eral -weeks   in  the  Tecumseh
Hospital.
His "thank you" ad, to all
those who had been so thoughtful of him during his recovery
from that tractor accident, appeared in our last issue, and
was the tip - off that he's back
in action again. Carl Moehn,
the   Lindsley   Road   mailman,
Saline, are says Ellsworth is  looking just
fine.

Another hospital case which
Saline area folks are pulling
for: John Klumpp, of the Saline Waterworks Road, -underwent sugery for a spinal ailment earlier this week, and last
reports from the neighbors

doctor's treatment for them.
But fishermen are funny. "We
had a wonderful time," says
Heinie. And he means every
word of it. *   .
