Building Revamped
For Auto Parts Store
City Council Monday night
issued a $4500 building permit
to Eugene Feuerbacher, to remodel the west and north "walls
of the building on north Ann
Arbor street at the railroad
tracks. The building has been
rented to an auto parts dealer
now located in Belleville.
Other building permits were
issued to Earl Feldkamp, 284

Saline firemen, above, got their "PhD's" (for Phire
Department) at a totally informal ceremony this week that
completed a six-session course in fire-fighting given here by
an instructor from the Firemanship Training Program, part
of the University of Michigan Extension Service. The course
involved 18 hours of study in theory and techniques of fire
fighting.
"PhD" might also stand for "phenomenal departure"
. . . the Saline department is fast on its collective feet. For
a daytime call, the truck invariably wheels out before the
90-second siren blast dies away. But ~ believe it or not —
that's been known to happen at night, too; at least two firemen who live near the station have sometimes been driving
before the whistle quit. Saline residents who live near members of the department are accustomed to hearing firemen
take off before the siren dies down. "Sometimes' I haven't got
my shoes tied," said one. "But you can do it if you hear the
whistle on its first cycle up." A night-time average, from a
sleeping start, is three minutes for the truck to roll carrying three to five men. Three minutes after that, 12 men are
on their way. It takes a really sneaky fire to get much of a
start with that kind of action.
Intermediate School
Gets Face-Lifting
Work to bring the Intermediate School completely up to
date is under way this week,
with construction of the new 35
by 40 foot dining room and
other repairs and renovations.
Included in the plans, compiled by the School Board after
a tour of the school, are new
tiles on-floors of many rodms,
possible renovation of the lighting system, new wall finish in
the girls' locker rooms and in
the boys' and girls' rest rooms.
The original bond issue for
construction of th& High School
included money for putting the
Intermediate School into good
condition, according to Bess
Tefft, president of the School
Board.
ALL AROUND SALINE
The 13th day of June seems
to be marked as a "Big Day"
in the calendar of Rev. and Mrs.
Alfred Hardt, of St. Paul's E. &
R. Church. Their older daughter, Dorothy, was born on June
13, and as time went by Dorothy was married on June 13;
Audrey missed being married
on June 13 by one day, choosing
June 14 because Saturday was
a more convenient day than
Friday for a wedding. This year,
-to add another June 13 event,
Audrey gave birth to a little
daughter on that day. Mrs.
Hardt is spending this week in
Indianapolis getting acquainted
with the third "Miss June 13"
in their family. Rev. Hardt returned Monday after taking
Mrs. Hardt to Indianapolis on

Autopsy Cites
Monoxide for
Death Here
*.
An autopsy conducted at University hospital this week indicated that carbon monoxide
caused the death of William
Hubbard, ,25, a River Rouge
bartender who was-fom'ol''"dead
in the back seat of a, car in a
ditch west of Saline.
The driver of the car, Walter
J. Logsdon, 41, was first booked
on charges of investigation of
homicide and drunk driving;
but after investigation only a
charge of drunk and disorderly
was lodged against him.
Logsdon was found slumped
unconscious over the wheel of
the car, which was in a ditch
with its motor still running,
early Friday morning, about
four miles west of Saline. When
sheriff's deputies could detect
no pulse on Hubbard, in the
men remained on the scene for'back seat, they sent for a doc-
about an hour to be sure the-tor and the Saline Fire depart-
iment emergency truck, with its
resuscitator. But lengthy efforts
to revive the victim failed.
Hubbard  was  pronounced
'dead by Dr. James Davis of
Saline, a deputy medical exam-
liner, who ordered the autopsy.
j Logsdon was taken to Saline
Community hospital for examination and then released to officers. The car was impounded
for investigation, which revealed the end of the tail pipe was
broken off. Authorities said apparently Hubbard, lying on the
rear seat, inhaled enough carbon monoxide fumes to kill him.

Milanites Ask
For Extended
Phone Service
Milan residents, seeking extended telephone service to Saline and other areas, have obtained 1400 signatures on petitions to the Public Service Commission; and the Saline Chamber of Commerce has been asked
to help their, cause along.
The signatures represented
approximately 75 per cent of
the Milan area telephone subscribers, served by Michigan
Bell Telephone Co.
One of the circulators of the
petition, Mrs. Richard Ahlbeck,
Tuesday asked Chamber of
Commerce president Allan
Grossman whether the Chamber
will write a letter to the Michigan Public,Service Commission,
citing the need for extended
service between the two communities. The matter will be
brought up at the next Chamber meeting, Tuesday, Grossman said.
The Milan Village Council
and the Milan Junior Chamber
of Commerce haye supported
the plea for extended service,
not only to Saline but to Ann
Arbor and Ypsilanti, Mrs. Ahlbeck said. The telephone company has suggested that a public meeting be held on the matter, she added, but no definite
statement has been made as to
the size of the rate increase
that would be involved for Milanites. v
Mrs. Monroe Phillips, of Milan, also circulated a number of
the petitions.
Milan does not have extended
service to any other community
at the present time.

Locally Built
Equipment to
Save $3QOO
Saline area-Board of Education has approved the construction of a 32-booth "language
lab", specifically designed to
suit the needs of Saline High
School.
The electronic teaching aid,
and its equipment, are to be
built according to plans drawn
up by Robert Harrison, a local
electronics technician — after
three months of study in conjunction with school officials —
at a cost $3000 lower than similar language labs sell for.
A "language lab" is a group
of acoustically-treated booths
for individual students, each
with ear phones, microphones,
volume controls, call-in switch,
pre-recorded instruction tapes
and ~ in this case but not in
all labs — program selector
switches.
It is used for-individual instruction in languages, speech,
English, dramatics, .and a number' of other fields. Such equipment is already in use in many
universities and in high schools
in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Wayne,
Plymouth, and most of the Detroit suburbs.
The local School Board has
had such equipment under consideration for months, but at
first believed it too expensive.
If purchased through regular
channels, it would have cost between $10,000 and $12,000, according to Bess Tefft, president
of th'e*'-'h''bardv*'*
The present -plan., will cost
$7,960, of which about $2,000
will be returned to the school
through the National Defense
Education Act title three program, which provides funds to
facilitate increased studies in
sciences and languages.
The NDEA has approved the
Saline plan, Principal Elmer
Houghton learned in a telephone
call Saturday from the state
NDEA director. -
Said Mrs. Tefft: "The NDEA
is very happy about it (the Saline plan). The feeling of the
School Board is that this lis a
facility and we hope to make
as complete use of it as possible in every way that we can
dream up; and while at the present moment we don't have a
big language program, we know
that there are a great many
ways in which the lab can be
used."
The equipment, which is to
be completed for the next schpol
session, will allow ten instructional programs to be made
available to the users who, by
this system, may select their
own. Many labs are set up so
that only the professor can
make the selection.
In the investigation of such
labs, High School Principal Elmer Houghton, School Board
member Lauren Wild, and Harrison, visited a large number of
schools where they are in use.
The "do-it-yourself" solution
came from a visit by Wild to
Kalamazoo College which built
its lab. A number of schools
have rebuilt existing units.
Once built, the lab is not expensive to use; the entire audio
system will run on about the
amount of power consumed by a
100 watt light bulb, Harrison
said. He is familiar with the
system in use at the University
of Michigan, where he is employed in the psychology department as an electronic technician to build and repair their
apparatus. He has also designed industrial sound systems for
a number of plants in the county,.
