Local Safety
Patroller to Get-
Washington Trip
Saline is among 103 Michigan
communities to be represented
by outstanding safety patrol
members at the 27th National
Patrol Rally in Washington,
D.C., May 9 - 12, it was announced today by Automobile
Club of Michigan.
Representing Saline will be
fourth-grader Jean Herter, lieutenant of safety patrols at the
Elementary School, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Herter of Pleasant Lake road.
She will be the first Saline
child ever to make the trip; this
is the first year Saline schools
have been named to send a delegate.
"The Michigan delegation will
be made up of about 130 safety
patrol boys and girls, one of
the largest ever sent to the rally from the state," said Ernest
P. Davis, Auto Club director of
safety and traffic.
"Auto Club is now in process
of selecting the schools that
will provide representatives on
the 4-day all-expense-paid trip
as guests of the Club," said Davis. "Schools are selected on the
basis of their patrols' general
performance and efficiency, and
they then have the honor of
nominating their outstanding
patroller to attend."
The youngsters will gather
in Detroit on Thursday, May 9,
where they will board a fleet
of chartered buses for the trip
to Washington. Although the
climax to the rally will be
reached at the huge parade on
Saturday, May 11, youngsters
making the trip from Michigan
will be kept busy visiting national shrines and historical attractions in and around the nation's capital, said Davis.
PLAYS IN HONORS BAND

The Honors Band, composed of
130 students, gave a public concert at the - university Sunday

Annual Jaycee
Easter Egg
Hunt Planned
The annual Jaycee-sponsored
Easter Egg hunt for local children has been scheduled at 2
p.m. Saturday at Curtiss Park.
The hunt is open without
charge to children aged two
through 12, but "it is hoped
they will be accompanied by an
adult", Bob Louden, chairman,
said.
Eggs for the occasion have
been donated by Klager Hatchery and will be dyed by the
Jaycees and their wives. Prizes,
for children who find the lucky
"golden eggs", have been donated by local merchants.
Children will be divided into
three age groups, to hunt in
three areas: ages two to four,
ages five to seven, and ages
eight to 12. The hidden eggs
will be of both the hard boiled
and candy variety.
Louden's committee of Jaycees working on the project includes "practically everybody",
he said.

students who distinguished themselves by winning awards in
a Detroit News-sponsored writing contest. Janet Kohler, left,
won first place; Marjorie Quick won second.
Local Students
Win Awards for
Short Stories
Three local students have
won high awards for their short
stories, in a writing contest
sponsored annually by the Detroit News. They competed in
a field of more than 10,500 entries submitted by students in
Washtenaw and four surrounding counties.
Janet Kohler, a student in the
seventh grade, won first place
and an achievement key for her
story, "Falling, Falling, Falling". Another seventh-grader,
Marjorie Quick, won second
place and honorable mention for
a story, "Round Fifteen". Both
entries were in the junior division; some of the work- "was
done in a creative writing class
taught here by Ann Pellegreno.
About 20 members of the class
submitted entries in the contest.
In the senior division, High
School senior Donald Dechert
won second place and honorable
mention for a story, "The Empty Sky", written with the assistance of Larry Brown, English teacher.
The three winners received
congratulatory letters and an
invitation to receive their awards at a formal presentation
in Detroit on May 15.
Knitting was NEVER like this! At least, not until hoys
in the Intermediate School got curious about the knitting the
girls did in home economics class, and cadged Maxine Ross
into letting them try it, in art class. Most of them completed
the hats in time to keep their ears warm ... a few are still
diligently knitting. But, what the heck, it's spring; hats
won't be needed till next year.

-Local rocketeers threatened Russia's lead in the space
race Saturday by launching their own home-constructed,
home-fueled "bird". In a highly successful trial shot, the
rocket soared to a height of 350 feet, travelled 200 miles
per hour, came down 200 feet down range.. (Estimates are
theirs. Other observers came up with different figures.) Club
members, above, left to right, are Mike Sharkey, Tom Flook,
Mike Armbruster, and Gerry Lake. Not present for the picture but a member in full standing is Donny Morton. The
club hoped to orbit an astronaut worm in the rocket; but unfortunately, somebody stepped on it.

TO MEET APRIL 16

QUESTION: How do you feel
about mothers working at jobs
outside of their homes?
Judy Alpha, 16 - I think it's
bad. A mother's place is in the
home with her children. If
youngsters don't have their mothers around, they keep their
problems inside themselves because they have no one to talk
to. A mother is the pillar that
holds the home together.
Myrna Cay Griffin, 12 - I
think it's a good idea for mothers to stay home while their
children are little. It's all right
for them to work later on as the
children get older.
David Johnson, 12 - Well,
you take our family — I'm the
youngest and having my mother
work doesn't seem to cause too
much of an emotional problem.
I think smaller children need a
lot of love and attention and if
they don't have their mother
around they may get off on the
wrong track and even become
juvenile delinquents because of
a lack of love and attention.
Kathie Reed, 17 - I'm very
glad my mother doesn't!
LesUe Katz, 16 - I don't
think it's good, but if I evpar
get married I probably will
work.
Claudia Scruggs, 11 ~ Mothers should be at'Jhome during
the day lantil the children are
.able to take care of themselves.
Dennis Rogers, 16 - It's all
right if' it's really necessary.
And I think it also depends on
the kind of job the mother has.
Sally Heiserman, 12 - They
shouldn't if the children are
young.   Little   ciiildren   n«3ed
their mothers with them, es-
pecially when emergencies
arise.
Pat Fischer, 17 - I like to
have my mom at home. After
the kids are out of high school
and more or less on their own
it's all right for mothers to
take a job.
Billy Cammet, 15-- WeU, I
tliink it's aU right as long as
their hours make it possible for
them to be home when their
cliildren are. They should wait
until their children are old
enough to go to school.
Kathy Mader, 12 - If they
have small childr.en, they should
not work; if their children are
school-age and older it's all
right, as long as they can work
at a job and stiU be a good
mother.
Bobby Tefft, 16 ~ I feel that
if it is a necessity, they should
wox-k; otherwise, they should
remain at home, especiaUy if
they have smaU children. After
the children are in school, it's
O.K. if they want to go to work
to help put a child through
school.

Baseball action for Hornet

interesting."
