TAKES SIX WEEKS
TO HANG A BANNER
It takes at least six weeks to
gain State Highway department
permission to hang a banner
across Michigan avenue, Council reminded local organizations
this week.
The law requires that a Council resolution to OK the banner
must be sent to the state for approval, and organizations making such a request too late for
the formalities must be turned
down. "Better make it eight
weeks ahead and be sure," said
City Clerk E. J. Muir.

US-12 ASSOCIATION
TO PUT OUT MAPS
Mr. and Mrs. Eathern Roark
represented the Saline Chamber
! of Commerce at a meeting of
j the US-12 association, at Jones-
i ville last week, when the organ-
, ization voted to publish  strip
maps of the "Scenic Route" to
Chicago. Attractions in the Saline area will be listed on the
100,000 copies to be printed for
the 1962 tourist season.
1     Saline's   share   of   the   cost,
$200, will be paid by the Chamber of Commerce and local business firms, Roark said.
More than a hundred youngsters slipped, slid, scuttled and sped, in the first annual Ice Rink Carnival at Henne Field Sat
urday. The event was sponsored by the City
Recreation ice department and Jaycees. Winners of the many events are listed on page

Hornet Hopes for Share
Of Conference Title Rise
by Lanny Robbins j in his finest game for Saline,
Saline's hopes  of taking at1 Put up the biggest threat to the
least a share of the Washtenaw! school   scoring   record   m   six
Conference basketball crown
took an upswing after Tuesday
evening. Playing one of their
finest games this year and helped by the stellar efforts of Ed
Strait and Jerry McDonald, the
Hornets claimed a hard fought
victory over the upset-minded
U-High Cubs, with a whopping
75-62 margin.
With only three home games
left to wind up their title quest,
the Saline quintet will still have
to face at least two potential
upset - makers i n Manchester
and Roosevelt; but it's doubtful if they will be called upon
for the effort they put together
against U-High. The scrappy
Cubs squad kept the pressure
on the Hornets all the way and
never gave up. - ";
But the U-High team just
couldn't come up with as effective a pair as the Hornets had
in Strait and McDonald. Strait,
years, as he popped in 32
points. Jerry McDonald also
came up with one of his best
showings in two years on varsity, as he chipped in 23 points.
Getting off to a fast start,
both teams totaled 11 points
in a little more than a minute
of play, as the Cubs came from
behind to grab a 7-4 lead. The
hosts managed to cling to a
small advantage until, with
3:45 left in the starting frame,
Tom Jeppesen took a pass from
Strait on an out-of-bounds play
and fired in a two-pointer to
tie the score at 10 points. ■
Twice the Cubs pulled ahead
on field goals only to see Saline
catch up on buckets by Strait.
With just under two minutes
to play, in the period, Keith
Armbruster took* advantage of
one of U-High's many fouls to
drop in the two free throws
that put Saline ahead 16-14.
As the second quarter got
underway, the Hornets showed
true championship form, firing
in four baskets in the first two
minutes. After a time-out, U-
High managed to cool off the
Hornets for much of the rest of
the stanza. Near the end of the
half, McDonald got a lay-up,
but fouled Koenig in the process, and the U-High center
sank both tries of a one and
one situation. Just before the
buzzer, Koenig hit from short
range to cut the gap back to
four points, 34-30, as the half
ended.
In' the third period, Saline
managed to gain only a single
point on the Cubs as the U-High
team stole the ball twice in the
removed,    thus   adding   about Jff*  fYf jfconds  f°r ^askets

TEACHERS GET
THE BREAKS
Two Saline educators were at
something less than par Tuesday:
Intermediate School Principal Dwight Reynolds suffered
a broken left arm when he
climbed a ladder to shovel snow
off the roof of his home Monday. The ladder fell over backward.
High School art teacher Taylor Jaeobsen used a .cane after
his right foot was injured in

Millpond:  43 Acres
Mil! Owners
OK City Bid
On 9 Acres
Saline's offer to purchase
nine acres of land, adjacent to
the city park, and the millpond,
has been accepted, Mayor Jack
Bennett announced today.
Bennett said he received the
signed purchase agreement
from the owners Wednesday
morning and title will be transferred as soon as the abstract
has been brought up to date.
Purchase price for the land-
and-pond ■ package, which includes the dam and breastworks along the road, is $1200.
At the same time, County
Drain Commissioner John H.
Flook, "for the purpose of
clearing up confusion in the
matter", cited the original Ford
Motor Co. survey, made when
land was purchased here to
make the millpond. The "only
acreage figures on the millpond
issued by the Drain Commission," Flook said, show that in
1935 Ford bought, from Joseph
and Nora Schmid, 6.02 acres;
from Herman and Pauline Hei-
ninger, .427 acres; from Harry
'and* Gertrude ''Whiter 10.14 ac-
I res;  from Vesta Mills,  21.936
Local Bowlers
Lead State
Tournament
A local team, sponsored by
the Saline Hotel, moved firmly
into first place Saturday in the
Michigan Woman's State Bowling association tournament in
Muskegdri. '"■* "     <■■--*-■
The Saline group, captained
by  Shirley  Rieckhoff,   stacked acres;   and  from Charles  and
Carrie Burkhart, 4.875 acres.
The total is 43.398 acres. An
aerial photograph in the Drain
Commission office shows the
millpond at 43.4 acres. City tax
records list it at "43.227 acres
more or less".
Size of the pond has been erroneously given in another
newspaper as 20.6 acres.

of 960, 1000, and 968, to edge
out a Pontiac combine whose
2890 had held the lead since the
opening week of the tourney in
January. The sessions are scheduled to continue through April.
Other members of the team
are Shirley Armbruster, Catherine Beach, Alice Goltz, and'
Arlene Bersuder, whose 1828
was sixth in the state all-events
as of Sunday.
Last year's final team handicap winner scored 3000, and the
Saline team can hardly fail to  "TV*  rTTi7'n  Spnnf c

in the midst of plans for expanding Anderson's store into
the adjoining location. The space is now occupied by a hat-
bar, which will have to be moved to make way for the passageway. Anderson is also manager of Anderson's store in
Chelsea; his wife is the former Sharron Larson of Saline. He
expects to be here often as the remodeling progresses.
specializing in children's, teens'
and misses' shoes . . . and the
other featuring men's wear. In
connection with men's wear, the
store will also introduce several lines of men's work and
dress shoes.
As witlr- their other departments, these new units at Anderson's will take full advantage of the purchasing facilities
of the store's New York buying office in securing the finest
lines of merchandise. In emphasizing this, Fred Anderson also
stated that the store's staff will
appreciate suggestions from" Salinians on the lines of merchandise which they would like to
see featured.   •
"Our expansion is being geared to the needs of the community," Anderson stated this week.
"The addition of our new shoe
and men's wear departments is
in response to Saline-area people's requests. We want more
such requests and suggestions.
We will use them to tailor our
store to Saline's needs."
The store will remain open
throughout the expansion move.
The grand opening next month
will feature favors, refreshments, and outstanding values
to mark the event, according to
Anderson.
tance, rarely falling more than
seven points behind. With 2%
minutes left in the game, Saline got their big breaks. Armbruster sank the first of a pair
of free throws, and McDonald
was fouled when trying to shoot
after Saline had gotten the rebound. He sank both of his tries
to push the Hornets ahead 64-
56.
Half a minute later, McDonald passed to Armbruster on a
break-away, play that sent Saline to a safe 10 point advantage.
U-High still managed to get
a few more baskets, but their
press left Strait in the open
and the alert Hornets passed
to him as he banged in nine
points in the last ninety seconds.
Saline's victory came mainly
from their success at the free
throw line; they hit on 23 of 26
attempts. U-High came out
ahead on both the baskets,
with 27 to Saline's 26, and on
the rebounds,  with 37 to Sa
