Sted Fund Drive
10c PER COPY — $3 PER YEAR
iches up to 75%
Slowed by flu among both
householders and solicitors, the
United Fund this week inched
up to 75 per cent of its $11,209
goal. So far, $8,259.77 had been
collected.
"Completion of the drive has
been difficult," said Herman
Merte, chairman, "because of
inability to reach call-backs, together with ample amounts of
influenza which struck many of
the solicitors and area leaders."
The drive, which was originally scheduled to end this week,
will be extended until all reports are in, he said.
Meanwhile, any residents who
have not been contacted at their
homes are urged to mail their
contributions to the United
Fund, care of Postmaster, Saline.
Reports received so far indicate 'that, although receipts
from businesses and service
clubs are down from last year,
contributions from industries
and schools are higher. Residential reports are also higher,
so far, Merte said. One service
club has not yet reported.
Contributions making up this
week's total include $1,626.50
from businesses; $195 from ser-
vice clubs; $191.50 from
schools; $3200 from industries;
and $3410.77 from residential
areas.
Dies Suddenly
At His Home
Mr. Frank Campbell, 69, former office manager of Amstutz
Hatcheries, Inc., for 20 years,
died suddenly Saturday noon-at
his home at 206 S. Davenport.
Mr. Campbell had lived in this
area since 1938; he was associated with the Saline Valley
Farms from 1938 to 1940. In
1941 he moved to the city and
he was office manager of Amstutz Hatcheries, Inc., from
1940 until his retirement in
1960.
He was born January 19,
1893, the son of William and
Sarah Pidd Campbell, in Mar-
lette, Mich. On July 10, 1925, he
married Ruth Maynard in Birmingham, Mich. She survives.
Also surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Mohammed (Sally)
of Farmington; seven grand-
Hanifi, of Saline; a son, David,
children; a brother, Thomas, of
Detroit; and a sister, Mrs. Le-
ona Stokes, of Lake Orion. He
was preceded in death by two
sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Doherty
and Mrs. Jean Crocker.
Mr. Campbell was an active
member of the Saline Methodist
Church, a charter member of
the Kiwanis club of Sahne; the
Alasonic Blue Lodge No. 133;
and the Saline chapter No. 311,
OES, of which he was a Past
Patron.
Eastern Star services were
conducted Monday evening at
Bahnmiller Funeral Home; and
funeral services, Tuesday afternoon, were at the Saline Methodist Church. The Rev. Donald
C. Kraushaar and the Rev. Robert Richards officiated. Masonic graveside services were held
at Oakwood cemetery.
Memorial contributions may
be made to the Saline Methodist
Church or the Michigan Heart
Fund.
Two Hunters
Overcome
By Fumes
Two local hunters narrowly
escaped death last week when
they were overcome by carbon
monoxide fumes from a camp
stove on a hunting trip in the
Upper Peninsula.
Arthur Zurlinffen, of 203 W.
Bennett St., suffered cuts and
bruises when he became unconscious and fell to the floor of
the camp-truck in which he was
staying with his father-in-law,
Chester Leonard, of 231 Monroe St., late in the afternoon
Friday, November 9. Leonard
did not lose consciousness but
was made extremely ill by the
fumes.
The kerosene-burning stove
was similar to those sold at the
Fair here, they said. They had
operated the stove only once
before.
Since they were camped near
Trout Creek, 35 miles from the
nearest doctor, the pair walked
around until the effects of the
fumes passed. Both had been
sleeping and were "lucky enough to wake up — and then
lucky enough to avoid pneumonia", Zurlinden said.

The grass may be greener on the other side of the fence,

Lynn Reese, of near Britton. He got his deer, a six-pointer
that dressed at about 150 pounds, on his 55-acre farm on
Hack road, only about a quarter mile from the house.
Meanwhile, his brother, Dale, drove 670 miles to Lake
Gogebic for a hunting trip, and returned empty-hanfled.

Two Arrested,
One Sentenced
For Shoplifting
Two housewives were arrested
and a Detroit man sentenced
this week on simple larceny
charges, in a Country Market
crackdown on shoplifters.
The Country Market chain
loses approximately $1,000 a
week to shoplifters in all six
stores, the Saline store manager
Ray Gretzner said; he issued a
warning that the arrests will
continue whenever shoplifters
are caught.
Arrested by the Country Market security officer were Lorena
Little, 56, a Manchester housewife, who left the store with a
60-cent tube of shaving cream
she said she had forgotten she
placed in her pocket; and Mary
Lou Hess, 23, of Willis Rd., who
allegedly took a $1.89 bottle of
vitamin tablets from the store
in her purse. She stood mute in
an appearance before Justice of
the Peace Jerome Lamb and
posted $20 bond for trial January 10.
uary 10. Mrs. Little has not yet
appeared in court.
Leslie Chambers, 33, of Detroit, pleaded guilty to a simple larceny charge before Justice of the Peace Lamb and was
fined $35 and costs and sentenced to 30 days, suspended for
one year. He was arrested last
week for theft of two cartons
of cigarettes from the store.
Hunter traffic that clogged
expressways all over the state
included a lot* of Salinians, who
returned this week with deer
strapped to hoods, fenders, car-
tops and trunks.
Local processors were snowed
under. Said Neil Haarer, at
Haarer's Processing plant: "I
can't even turn around out
here!"
The successful nimrods included Bob Tefft, who got a spike-
horn near Iron Mountain; Harold Kuder, who brought a doe
■from the Upper Peninsula; and
Rollie Goltz, who brought down
a spike-horn up by Glennie. Tony Schild nailed a 5-point buck
near Au Sable, while the other
members of his party either
didn't see a thing, or struck
out.
Mr. and Mrs. Allie Burkhardt
returned from their cabin near
Comins, both happy. Allie was
the only one of the nine-man
hunting party who got a deer;
Mrs. Allie was the only one who
watched a doe and triplet fawns
pass within 20 feet of her.
"That's better than shooting
them," she said.
Danny McLean bagged a 4-
pointer on opening day near
McKinley; and< Milton Sackett
got a spike-horn near Newberry:
Kenneth Braden was hunting
with a friend from Milan; both
shot bucks on opening day.
Among the best racks
brought home were Stan Taylor's 9-pointer; 8-point bucks
collected by Neil Hurja, Roy
Kruse, and T. A. Rajala, and
Bob  Sandefer's 7-pointer.
Kenneth H. Rogers brought
home a 5-pointer, and Kendall
Rogers had a spike-horn. Richard Hoeft and Russell Wright
both got 4-pointers.
Other successful hunters included Rollie Layher, Carl Seeger,   Jim  Rogers,  Dale Flook,

Mercantile
To Collect
CROP Corn
Com lor the Christian Rural
Overseas Program, collected by
Grange organizations throughout the county, will be collected
and shipped by the Saline Mercantile Co. early in December.
Last year, one carload of corn
was shipped from the Saline area; this year Ypsilanti and Dexter area contributions will also
be collected here.
Local contributions are to be
taken to the Mercantile elevator
on December 12 and 13; those
from Dexter and Ypsilanti will
arrive on December 14; and all
will go out on December 15.
The Mercantile Co. collects
the corn as a public service,
without charge if it comes in
shelled. Otherwise, the firm receives a nominal fee for shelling
it.
A state Grange officer is generally present during the collection period.
Social Service
Plans Annual
"Bundle Tea"
Saline area Social Services,
Inc., will hold its annual "Bundle Tea" Tuesday, December 4,
at the home of Mrs. Lauren

Mrs. Carl O'Brien is chairman of the tea, which is open

"Due to the generosity of the
community, the organization
now has an overabundance of
used articles of clothing," Mrs.
O'Brien said.
