BOYS TO FACE
ARSON CHARGE
ON BARN FIRE
Two 15-year-old boys will be
charged with arson, police said
today, in the matter of a $4,000
fire that destroyed a barn and
farm equipment here Saturday
morning.
The boys, who admitted they
started a fire inside the barn "to
keep warm" were released to the
custody of their parents, but
they will also be charged as
runaways, according to Sheriffs deputies.
The 40 by 60 foot storage barn,
owned by Alwin and Herman
Marion, at 8808 W. Michigan,
was discovered at 8:15 a.m. Saturday by Mrs. Albert Ahrens
and Miss Janet Marion, who
turned in the alarm. A hay-
chopper was salvaged before the
barn was levelled, but other
equipment, including a silo
blower, two hay mowers, two
cultivators, a tree sprayer, wagon racks, lumber, and tires, were
lost.
Damage was listed at $4,225.
The boys, both from Ypsilanti,
were picked, up by police here
while hitch hiking, about half
an hour before the fire was discovered. After the blaze, "they
admitted they had slept in the
barn and started the fire to keep
warm, but said they had believed it to be out when they
left.
Hearing is set for April 14.

Doctors Agree
On Need For
2nd Incubator
Saline doctors this week
wholeheartedly concurred that a
second incubator would be a
very good thing for the SaUne
Community Hospital.
The subject came up with
plans announced by the Business and Professional Women's
Club to hold a "Coffee Klatch"
to raise funds to purchase another incubator. The hospital's
present — and only — incubator
will be on display all next week
in the window of Wight's Cleaners.
The "Coffee Klatch," from
8:30 to 11 a.m. Saturday; April
4, in the Saline Hotel dining
room, is designed to lure all
downtown "coffee break" fans
shopping housewives, and strolling young people in for coffee
and doughnuts and a contribution to the incubator fund.
Cost of an incubator is estimated between $300 and $400,
but it is "an important aid"
Doctors Prout, Miller, and Douthat agreed. "The premature
baby must be kept warm and
free from infection. The incubator helps maintain warmth
and humidity which can be carefully changed to meet the needs
of a particular baby. It also protects the infant from many possible sources of infection. -. . .
Many newborn infants are placed in the incubator for a few

Local Farmers Get
Herd Awards
BLOOD BANK
ONLY GETS
40 PINTS
Only 40 pints of blood were
donated at the Blood Bank here
Monday, although 49 persons offered to give, Red Cross representative Marion Hering announced today. Nine were rejected for health reasons.
The amount given is less than
Saline area "normally uses during a year," Mrs. Hering pointed out, and several of the donations have been credited to other
areas at the donors' requests.
"Our local people could give
blood elsewhere and credit it to
Saline, if they wish to," she
added.
Although the amount given
was disappointing, "we still
have enough blood for those
who need it," Mrs. Hering emphasized. Blood bank donations
were also down in Milan this
year. Saline last year collected 59 pints, and 89 pints the
year before that.
Mrs. Hering expressed her appreciation to all donors and
would-be donors who were rejected, and to volunteers who
staffed the project.
