Chest
Total
$7727
Saline's Community Chest total took another jump this week
to $7727.80, only about $200
short of quota, with many reports still not in.
Most of the out-of-town industries had not yet turned in collections, Wilson Scott, drive
chairman said, and these were
expected to take the final figure
well over the quota of $7931.
"We'll certainly reach $8000,"
Scott said.
- Largest single contribution to
the present total came from Universal Die, $1700.
A meeting of Community
Chest board members, to make
disbursements according to the
budget, will be held as soon as
the quota of $7931 is actually
in hand,i3cott said. The meeting
is expected by the end of December.
Meanwhile, contributions from
out of town institutions and industries will continue to trickle
in for a period of several
months. Ypsilanti State hospital
and the Ypsilanti Ford plant
traditionally report after the
first of the year, and at least
two Ann Arbor industries have
not yet turned over contributions ear-marked to Saline by
local residents employed there.
The $7931 quota is the largest
ever sought in Saline.

Blizzard Causes
Accident Spurt
By Peggy Flook
Saturday's blizzard, accompanied by below zero temperatures,: brought a rash of automobile acidents that kept police
agencies and tow trucks hopping. A number of persons were
injured, several of them seriously, as cars left roads that were
slick with ice.
Visibility Saturday was obscured by blowing snow that
piled drifts along some country
roads and turned blacktops into
sheets of ice. Temperatures as
low as 5 below zero were reported in the Saline area, in a record
cold snap that surpassed any
November temperatures within
local memory.
■ Two men were injured Saturday morning when a fuel truck
driven by Roscoe McCarbury, of
2315 Willis Rd., collided with a
1954 Mercury driven by Jesse D.
Dell, of Twining, Mich.
Dell suffered a fractured left
arm, concussion, and facial cuts.
He was taken to Herrick Memorial hospital in Tecumseh. Mc
Carbury refused medical treatment for lacerations and bruises.
The accident occured at 11:15
a.m. Monday on US 112 near
Willow Rd. Police said the Dell
car, travelling west, apparently
crossed the center line and
crashed into the Marathon truck,
owned by Don Ford, of Saline.

The negotiations with Michigan Bell Telephone Co. will

Bell will be able to handle the
increased traffic involved in extended service between Ann Arbor and Saline.
They will require traffic studies by both Bell and General

equipment will be needed, according to Dale Clark, district
manager of General Telephone

Not until negotiations and
studies are completed will it be
possible to know how "soon extended service can be installed

Lauren Wild Resigns
Civil Defense Post
Lauren Wild has resigned the
post of Civil Defense Director
for this area.
His resignation, presented to
City Council at Monday's meeting, is effective "as soon as a
replacement is found," and
stems from the fact that his
business keeps him frequently
out of town, he said.
Wild, who has handled the job
with the cooperation of Saline's
Explorer Scout Troop, said he
did not feel it would be possible
for the Scouts to continue to
head the organization, either
with or without another director.
"The county's CD plan calls
for trained, experienced men to
head up police protection, fire
protection, medical services, and
engineering work," said Wild.
"These boys have the brains and
the willingness, but let's face it:
they lack the training."
"^GBrald Miller, Washtenaw
county Civil Defense Director,
was present at the meeting with
a 30 minute discussion of the
county CD plan and organization. The county plan lists Saline as Zone 4, together with
Saline and Lodi townships.
Among Miller's suggestions to
Council: purchase of a radio
transmitter and receiver at an

at Haarer's plant, for instance,
totalled 56 by Monday morning,
with the possibility of a few
stragglers being brought in
later. There was also one bear,
shot by George Conner and Robert Funk hunting together.
Last year's total haul was
only 54.
A" higher proportion- of this
year's take was bucks; Haarer's

50 per cent. The remaining $312
might be split up by the city and
the two townships, he said.
Miller also suggested the city
pass a Civil Defense ordinance
similar to one drawn by the
Michigan Municipal League.
The various branches of Civil
Defense work should be headed
by men familiar with the field,
working under a local director,
Miller advised. Thus, fire, police,
medical, and engineering would
be operated by the fire chief, the
police chief, local doctors, and a
trained engineer. /
Local Hunter Bass
Everything In Sight
Nothing bigger than a bread-
box escapes the gun of Chester
Yarger, of near Milan, who this
year alone accounted for a deer,
a bear, and a coyote.
Hunting near Copper Harbor,
Yarger brought down a 10-point
buck. He trucked it home for
Hatcherwy will hold a reorgani-
rack because Tie haa mounted a
9-point rack only last year and
didn't need two.
He also brought back a poten
tial bear rug, in a 1% year-old
bear weighing between 50 and
100 lbs.
The coyote he did not bring
home; he turned it in to Copper
Harbor area authorities for $15
bounty and is waiting for the
check.
Yarger    customarily    hunts
and six-year-olds missed their
morning snacks, in the aftermath of a wildcat strike of Detroit milk drivers.
Milk had been available Monday only because local drivers
went after it themselves and
brought it back under police escort.
The striking drivers, members
of Local 83, United Dairy Workers, AFL-CIO, were protesting
the price of milk in retail outlets
throughout the area. They said
that grocery stores, selling milk
several cents cheaper than was
possible on home delivery
routes, were cutting into the
routes and that some had been
cancelled altogether.
But Kenneth Frey, Twin Pines
driver in Saline, said that the
home delivery routes .were growing far faster than could be accounted for by growth of population; there are now 200 or
more retail stops in this area.
Sehool milk Monday was
brought from Twin Pines' South-
field outlet by Frey; Ray Schoe-
der, manager of Saline Dairy;
and Frank McKenney, who had
driven to Southfield with a caravan of Milan drivers, since he
generally picks up the milk for
his route in Milan.
But McKenney had car trouble, he said, and in the face of
threatened violence by pickets
around the Dairy plant, he waited to return homewith.the Saline caravan: ' •
• The caravan" was, fescorjed to
and from the dairy to Washtenaw county line by police cars
from Wayne county Sheriff department. It was followed to the
county line by several carloads
of strikers, but there were no
incidents, Frey reported.
Over 1000 half-pints of milk
were delivered to Saline schools
in the nick of time for lunch
Monday, but kindergarteners
and first^graders had already
missed their morning milk.
On' Tuesday, Frey first received word that Saline milk
could be picked up in Milan, as
the strike had ended at 5 a.m.
But bottling had not been started until after 7 a.m., and no milk
arrived in Saline from Detroit
outlets—either for the schools
of at grocery stores—until Tuesday evening.
Dairies affected by the strike
included Sealtest, Borden, and
Twin Pines
Local grocers who handle milk
from Ann Arbor dairies reported
no interruption in their supply,
and some Detroit milk arived
here around Monday noon. Wilson Dairy and Cloverleaf Dairy
both have Ann Arbor outlets.
With the strike ended, distri-
with his father, Robert Yarger, bution is expected to be "back to

last year himself. The take Is
always good.
Four hunters in the party and four bucks
brought home, was the 100 per cent record set
by Melvin Armbruster, Larry Finkbeiner, Eugene Betz, and Lloyd Klager, all of Bridge-
water. The four hunted together near Houghton from Nov. 12 to Nov. 25, hat Finkbeiner
drew; first blood by bringing down His prize

State Aid
Short; Local
Schools Borrow
Cutbacks in State Aid have
caused Saline Area Schools to
borrow $75,000, superintendent
Leo Jensen said this week.
The money was borrowed
from a local bank to make up
the difference u» state funds
normally used'for payrolls, supplies, and operating expenses.-
State aid payments, normally
calculated at $190 per child,
have been 25 per cent short
since August, when state funds
for the school aid program ran
short. Various solutions to the
state budget problem have been
suggested by legislators, but
none has been settled on.
The money was borrowed locally" with permission of the
Municipal Finance Corporation,
in Lansing, which must approve
all school loans.    .,.   -
"We haven't pared down, but
we are sticking right to our budget," Jensen said.. "Everyone on
the payroll has been paid in
full."
