Federated
Call Declined
By Pastor
Federated Church was left
without a candidate for minister
when, in a surprise move, the
Rev. Richard Campbell last
week turned down a call from
the congregations. Campbell,
minister at the Presbyterian
churches in West Unity and
Kunkle, Ohio, had been presented to the Federated congregations the week previous, as the
unanimous choice of Federat-
ed's ministerial committee.
By pre-arrangement, the committee, headed by Hazen Jewell,
disbanded when the call to Rev.
Campbell proved unsuccessful.
Tuesday night the church council met to start work toward
formation of a new committee
replacing the disbanded group.
The council also voted to call
a special congregational meeting following church services on
Sunday, June 25.
HOLD OPEN HOUSE
Mr. and Mrs. John Seitz held
open house at their home on
Bemis Rd. graduation night in
honor of their daughter, Joann.
Family and friends attended the
celebration.

Fair Premiums
Up; Missile
Site Approved
Saline Community Fair Board
at their meeting Monday raised
all the premiums in the baked
goods, beef, Steer club, and dairy competition, and approved
an expenditure of $150 toward
graveling the driveway into the
Fairgrounds  from Bennett  St.
The board also approved the
allotment of space for display
of a U.S. Navy carrier missile,
as requested by Navy recruiting. The missile, to be displayed
in an upright position, is 30
feet long, but its name was not
given.
The Fair is to be held at the
Intermediate School site September 13 through 16.
Premiums on all baked goods
entered were raised to $1 for
first, 75 cents for second, and
50 cents for third place, after a
member pointed out that the
lower premiums didn't even repay the, contestant for the cost
oi materials.' """
A whole new schedule of premiums for beef and dairy cattle
was presented by board member
Albert Gall and approved. In
the beef department, premiums
were raised from the earlier
schedule of $3, $2, $1,' $1 to §5,

for all prime individuals; $8 instead of $6 for choice; and $7
instead of $5 for good. Other
Steer club premiums remain unchanged.
Dairy premiums were moved
up one to two dollars all the
way along the line, and champion ribbons will be given this
year for male and female, all
breeds competing.
A new $15 prize has been offered for the Riding club participating in the horse show and
having the most mounted riders
in the parade, and $10 is offered for second place.
Other plans for the September Fair moved toward completion: in pony classes, prizes will

candidates in the area: Basman

space research; Knop is a farmer and retired automobile
salesman.
Raymond Girbach, who was
defeated in a bid for a second
term last year, this time handily
defeated newcomer Herman
Merte, 201 to 161. Girbach, a
farmer who lives at 13305 Mohr-
hart Rd., served on the Board
of Education from 1957 to 1960.
School officials had predicted
that not more than 200 or 250
voters would turn out for the
election, which had stirred up
comparatively little discussion
in the area.
Mrs. Tefft, a former teacher
and the author of several children's books, was first elected
to the Board in 1958 before altered state laws raised the number of members to seven and
the terms to four years.
Burkhardt, an accountant employed as controller by Hoover
Ban and Bearing Co., was appointed last year to fill an unexpired term. Girbach's three-
year term is also an unexpired
one, that of Francis Lockwood,
who resigned just prior to the
present election.
An organization meeting of
the Board will be held after
the re-elected members take office on July 1.
Although the Monday vote
was heavier than expected, it
was not the highest in recent
years; 487 voters went to the
polls in, last year's school election.

IO.OI Mills
Allocation
The County Tax Allocation
Board Saturday gave final approval to an allocation of 10.01
mills for the Saline area School
District.
The change from last year's
millage 'of 8.28 was the result of
state adjustments of evaluations within the district, that
meant a loss of about $724,000
of evaluation within the district, School Superintendent Leo
Jensen, said. With the approved
10.01 mills allocation, the school
system's revenues will be about
the same as last year's.
.. A sm§]L portion of the school
district in Lenawee county, 'officially severed from Saline area district this week, had a total valuation of only $30,000,
Jensen added. But Saline's alio- 2nd   in  Road-E-Oj
