Bus Co. Plans
Drop to Three
Daily Runs
The Bus Company of Ann Arbor, which has been operating
seven daily bus runs between
Ann Arbor and Saline, has "for
economic reasons" applied to
the Michigan Public Service
Commission for permission to
cut their schedule to three daily
trips.
The passenger rate on the
present seven runs is "low", a
Jjns- company official said in an-
nbuTtfing the proposed change;
but most passengers will be accomodated on the three runs
planned, since they are the ones
most used.
The busses will continue to
stop at the Hoover plant, on
State road, on each trip to and
from Saline, and with detours
now removed from State road,
the busses will begin taking that
route on Monday.
The company is also negotiating with MPSC for a run
which will continue from Saline
to Ypsilanti State hospital, at
the request of hospital officials,
the spokesman said.
The new schedule, expected to
go into effect next week, lists
busses leaving Ann Arbor at
6:45 a.m.; 9:30 a.m.; and 5:40
p.m.; and leaving Saline at 7:20
and 10 a.m.; and 6:10 p.m.
are constructing,
f Five girls elected by the student body to serve as the
"Queen's Court" will also appear in the parade, and one of
these — by specification, a senior — will be named "Homecoming Queen".
She will be crowned by Hornet co-captains Chuck Robison
and Bob Yuhasz at the half-
time program at the University
High-Saline game Friday night.
A special program by the Saline
Marching Band is also on the
half-time agenda.
Miss Paula Stralnic, 1959
Homecoming Queen, will act as
mistress of ceremonies at the
crowning event, and the winner
in the parade-float competition
will be announced at that time
and presented with a traveling
trophy.

REGISTRATION
NOW 1194
The number of registered voters in Saline reached an all-
time high of 1194 Tuesday, City
Clerk E. J. Muir reported. The
figure represents more than 50
per cent of the city's population
as listed in the 1960 census
(2332). It also represents an
increase of 109 persons since
July of this year.
600 hours of patient work is represented in the giant
model plane above (on view in the Community Ford showroom) built by Edward Korte, High School junior, in all his
' spare time since last Christmas. The radio-controlled plane,
built from the biggest kit on the market, carries a iys h.p.
engine . . . but hasn't been flown for fear it might be damaged. This one is strictly for show! Young Korte, who has
been building model planes for years, is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Korte, of Henry street.

Lack  of  scoring  punch  and was stopped just short of the

moments Friday evening resulted in Saline's third defeat of
the season at the hands of
Class-B South Lyon.
The Hornets, showing their
best offensive attack of the season, got within the--host tf^ami^
25 three times, Once to the*sev-
en, to the seventeenv,and"to the
twenty-one, but were unable to
get that pigskin across the goal
line as they lost the ball on
downs or fumbles.
South Lyon found it difficult
to sustain drives against a determined Saline defense. But on
three ocasions the winning team
was able to break loose for
touchdowns, one on a long pass,
another that was set up by the
aerial gain, and the last on an
almost equally long run.
Saline threatened early in the
contest as it took the opening
kick and made the deepest foray of the entire evening. In one
key play, Rick Johnson scatted
from the South Lyon 45 to a
first on the 25. The following
carry sent Charles Robison
slamming off right tackle to
the eight. Saline's hopes grew
higher as Jerry McDonald
ground out the yardage into the
right side of the line to the
seven. But that was as far as
the Hornets went. Robison was
caught behind the line on the
11, and on a fourth down sweep,
around left end, Johnson was
thrown back to the 16.
South Lyon took over and in
thirteen plays had a first down
on the Hornet five, following
Wren's pass to Dave Obreno-
vich on the twenty, a gainer
that was stopped when Robison
knocked him out of bounds. On
the next play, Hughes rammed
through to the two. On the second down Jack Wren galloped
Saline ran the ball out to the
sixteen before Strait punted.
South Lyon returned to the 38
and from there pounded out
gains to the Saline 10. That was
the end of their march as Jerry
McDonald's- fmgers.-snared one
of Jack Wren's- pa*sses to" give
Saline the ball on their 17. From
there, McDonald bulled up to
the 30. A third down screen
pass from Tucker to Johnson
moved SaUne to the 45. Johnson was dropped back to the
43, but McDonald got that loss
back with a run to the 47 off
right guard. A fast moving

Registration
'Fairly Heavy';
Ballot Full
Voter registration in Saline
has been "fairly heavy" this
week, City Clerk E. J. Muir reported, and new residents moving to the subdivisions are registering almost as soon as they
arrive. Registration to vote in
the November 8 election closes
Monday, October 10:
Meantime, six members of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce
have been deputized to go door
to door to register voters, Muir
said. Registrants must have resided in Michigan for 60 days.
Both City Clerk Muir, and
County Clerk Luella Smith, expect to be counting ballots into
the wee small hours of election
night:-
Salinians will vote on national candidates (seven parties are
listed on the ballot this year,
one of them, the "Tax Cut Par:
ty", brand new); state candidates, three state propositions
(sales tax, con-con, and a school
finances amendment); c o u n ty
candidates; city candidates for.
mayor and four Council seats; a
city proposal to amend the
Charter; and nine Charter Commission candidates.
Lodi township residents have
a local proposal - Uquor by the
glass; and York township residents will ballot on whether to
change from the caucus to the
primary system of selecting
nominees.
The County Clerk's office,
which must remain open until
aU returns are in (on paper; not
just by phone) will probably be
open aU night long, Mrs. Smith
said. In the Presidential election
four years ago, the office never
closed between election day and
the day following.

Sewer Plant
Inadequate
Soon—Strait
SaUne's sewage treatment
plant will have to be doubled in
size "eventually", DPW Superintendent Mike Strait told City
Council Monday night, and "in
the meantime we may as weU
face the need for additional
equipment every year".
Strait made the statement after Council heard a letter from
the State Health department
stating that two more de-watering beds were needed.to remove
sludge at a suitable rate, and
that a recent inspection had
shown equipment there to be
insufficient to  do the job.
Said Councilman J. C. Little:
"That's nothing Uke the problem that's going to arise when
a new elementary school is; built
in ayear or two."    "'■"-.. -
Said S t r a i t-: "No, schools
don't overload the plant, since
they operate at the time of day
of low flow. It's new houses
that create the need, and they're
going up aU the time."
Council agreed' to retain an
Ann Arbor engineering firm,
Ayres, Lewis, Norris & May, to
study the plant and report on
needs "as soon as possible".
In other action, Council approved the filing of a city claim
for $250 in bankruptcy proceedings under way in Flint for
MacFarlane Shoes (a hearing
is scheduled for October 10);
approved a Homecoming Par-

Clyde Griffin home, at 121 E.
Michigan avenue, early Monday.
Smoke and water damage to
the rest of the house was extensive, according to Mrs. Griffin. "
Mrs. Griffin said she had
turned off the gas stove before
going to a grocery store. She
was away for only 15 minutes;
but when she returned she
heard glass shatter and opened
the door to find the kitchen

their friends.
The meeting, scheduled at 8
p.m., at the Farm Bureau office on Saline-Ann Arbor road,
will bring together all six legislative candidates in the county
to answer four questions already sent out to them by the
Farm Bureau.
Candidates  who  will  appear

Cutler, University of Michigan
professor, Democrat; candidates
for the legislature  from  tlie
county's first district, Republican Gilbert Bursley, and Demo-

jand   district  legislative   eandi-
' dates,  Democrat * William  F.
j Dannemiller, and incumbent Le-
jgMat'or, JSmes F. Warner, Re-
| publican.
1    Questions  which  the  pre-
warned candidates will be asked
to answer include:
1. If the voters approve Proposal 2 on the November 8 ballot
(raising the Constitutional limit on the Sales Tax to 4 cents)
would you support legislation
to levy an additional one cent
sales tax?
2. What is your position on
the maintenance of the present
Sales Tax exemption on items

production?
3. Do you favor the setting by
the legislature of wage scales
fGr public employees, i.e., firemen, policemen, and teachers,
and the establishment of their
hours of work?
4. Present dupUcating and overlapping dairy farm inspections are costly and result in a
lack of understanding and confusion. Would you support legislation to charge the Michigan State Department of Agriculture with the responsibility
for coordinating and directing
the complete job -of statewide
inspection?
Jeddy Staley, of SaUne, will
moderate the meeting. Sponsoring Farm Bureau committees
are those for community
groups, citizenship, legislative,
