Salinians Not: Napping
When Market Plunges
Saline businessmen and women Tuesday watched the plunging stock market with considerable interest — but with little
alarm, and no surprise
Said one local investor smugly: "I sold all my holdings three
weeks ago."
Said another: "I've been saying they could look for a bunch
of 8 - million - share days any
time now." (Six million were
traded Friday, 9%'million Monday, and an estimated 12 million Tuesday.)
Probably the calmest investment club member in town was
Pat Roesch: "What's to be
alarmed about? I've got the
same paper today that I had
yesterday. It's not too big a
deal, as far as I'm concerned."
Said Bob Estes: "I think it's
all going to come back up . . .
in about 90 days, say the first
of September."
Said Vivian Kluwe: "We're
just starting to talk about it
. . . I've learned a lot since I
joined a club a year ago."
He has been "expecting this
Fundamental
Church Seeks
Building Site
The congregation of Fundamental Baptist Church is seeking a building site of "at least
an acre" in the northern part
of the city, or near it on which
to erect a new church.
The church, started here in
December of 1959, first met in
the Saline Savings Bank meeting room. Now with seven member families-and "others who
attend", it has outgrown its
present meeting place — a former hardware store on W. Mich--
igan Ave., according to the Rev.
K, W, Mosher.
No building plans have been
selected yet, the Rev. Mr, Mosher said; "the big thing is to
find the land." But it is hoped
the new church may be completed by the end of summer.
Members of the congregation's building committee include him, Alton Ealy, Arthur
Katterjohn, and Howard Kuhl,
chairman. Persons interested in
selling a suitable site are asked
to contact Mr. Mosher by calling HA 9-7344. —~
The northern part of the city
is preferred, he said, "because
it looks as if that is where the
major home development will
be." ,.. •_*»!■-.._

School Typing
Class Open to
Students, Adults
Saline High School has opened a summer typing class to
adults, and to students of any
grade except those now scheduled to take typing next year.
The course, to be given by
High School teacher Larry
Smith, is specifically designed
for pre-college students, and
would be useful to adults who
wish to type for their own convenience, Principal Elmer
Houghton said.
It is "non-business typing",
he specified, not preparatory to
a business course. But it carries
a one-quarter credit for High
School students who complete
it.
Total cost of the course will
be $240, divided among all students enrolled. It is estimated
that individual cost will range
between $15 and $22.
The classes, expected to open
June 11, will run from 8 to 10
a.m., five days a week, for six
weeks. All the basic skills now
taught in the first-year typing
course will be given, Houghton
said, "but there will not be as
much in-school practice time".
Interested persons are asked
to call the High School office
within the next few days.
for months," said Ed Redies.
"This whole thing started when
they started boosting the roaring '60's ... we didn't have anything to back it up. You don't
make your appraisals over just
a week or two; you make them
way back two years ahead of
that."
Among causes, he listed "lack
of confidence in Administration
policies. When you get a President not sympathetic to business ... well, for the last 25
years every generation has been
taught, even in the public
schools, to be anti-business."
Said Leonard Wight: i'This
is not too serious, and far from
a panic. Everything has been
priced too high and it's just
leveling off. A lot of little fellows will probably be hurt real
bad, but Saline and other small
communities will be the last to
feel it. or be hurt."
Said Henry Leutheuser:
"They will separate the boys
from the men this time! Personally, I think it was overdue,
but this thing between Kennedy and the Steel companies probably brought it to a head a little quicker."
"I'm not getting alarmed," he
added, "but I feel sorry for the
boys who bought on the margin."
"The country's not going to
the dogs," said Leutheuser.
"For every seller, there's a buyer. Many stocks were inflated
to the point where something
had to happen."
The selling wave can't be described as a panic — "anyway,
not yet", said banker Carl Curtiss. "It would be silly to panic;
that would cause a disaster."
He feels the economic climate
is stable and'that no serious-de^
pression is on the way. Banjc
stocks are not affected, he pointed out, since they are not listed on the exchange.
"Definitely, it's a panic," said
banker Bill .Crim, "whether
there's any fire or not. The market got shaky a long time ago
because it's been way too high.
Everybody knew it, but we were
hoping."
The recent steel fracas is "undoubtedly the thing that set it
off," he believes. "Sure, it was
six weeks ago that it happened,
but it takes a long time for 180
million people to make up their
minds; But I don't know what
the repercussions could be . .-.
sales are good, and income is
good."
Many of the factors that led
to the crash of 1929 and subsequent depression years are no
longer present, he pointed out.
Among the safety factors now
in effect:
Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation insures deposits
and makes a run on the bank
a thing of the past.
Margin buyers at one time
could borrow all but 10 per
cent of their investment. The
present limit is 70 per cent.
Before 1932, mortgages were
almost never put on a-monthly
payment basis; the entire sum
could come due and be called
at once. Monthly payments on
mortgages have sharply reduced the likelihood of foreclosures.
But with all of the Saline ears
tuned to the market reports on
the radio, few of the listeners
would venture a financial prediction.

Hectic Meet
Saline school district's tax
millage was dropped to 9.32
mills Saturday after a heated
meeting of the county Tax Allocation Board in Ann Arbor.
The local schools, which had
asked for 12 mills "and need
12,   but  expected  10",  according to Superintendent Leo Jensen, found their share of the
available 15-mill direct property tax cut even lower than the
~9.58 allotted to them in the preliminary figures  issued before
the hearing.
