After an undefeated season, the Little League Dodgers
(National League), above, went on to capture the crown in

and Ed Feuerbacher chalked up home runs.

Kohler, Jr., Gary Marion, Mike Bush, Mrs. Earl Bush, Gary
Jalmke, Mark Gage and Mike Armbruster. In hack row are

Best bat-swingers, or "Lucky Strikers" as they call
themselves, topped all teams in the girls' league at the end
of the summer recreation season, with 15 wins and five losses. Final standing left the "Time-Wasters" second with 12
wins, eight losses; trailed by the "Batters Up", eight wins,
12 losses; and "Wildcats", six wins, 14 losses.

team but not in the picture were Cindy Hartman, Diane La-
Rue, Kathy King, Mary Alice Girbach, Belinda Ealy, Judy
Sharkey, and Terry Jedele.
Saline service clubs, working
toward creation of a Saline
area swimming facility, need
YOUR answers to a number of
important questions. Among
them:
Where do YOU want the Saline area pool located?
What size do YOU think will
be adequate for the area's needs
now and in the years immediately ahead?
How much are YOU able and
Willing to contribute to Project
Pool?
Saline Kiwanians, Jaycees,
and Rotarians, mapping general ground rules for the project,
decided their Rule One should
be this: A Saline pool must^
represent the wants of the peo-'
pie of this area as closely as
possible. It should be located
on a site which represents the
consensus of the area. Its size
and styling should represent
the wishes of the area. And, in
the last analysis, its cost must
be determined by the amount
which the people of the area
wish to pay for it.
Following this line of reason-
mg, planners from the three lo-
ial service clubs decided recently that a "Pool Poll" would be
helpful in determining the wishes of the area. The clubs are
already in .process of naming
members to a pool site-committee, a pool construction committee, and a pool fund-raising
committee. Results of the poll
will be tabulated and presented
to the three committees to
guide them in their planning.
Thus, the clubs feel, the pool
construction program which
evolves will be the product of
thinking throughout the area,
and deserving of support when
presented to the people for their
action.
The poll questionnaire appears below. ALL residents of
the Saline Area School District,
the territory which would be
served by 'the pool, are urged to
clip it out, fill it out, and mail
it or bring it to The Saline Reporter. A poll box will be located there to hold the slips. The
box will be covered . . .no-
names will be involved in this
polling . . . your answers will
be completely confidential and
will not commit you in any way
to any obligation, financial or
otherwise. However, since the
pool-planners, will use your answers in mapping their program, you are asked to give
each question your careful consideration.
A few clues to help you with,
your choices:
An expert on pool construction, after sizing up the Saline
area, figures the minimum size
pool needed for this area would
be 2,000 square feet. If the pool
is to be used for competitive
swimming events, as. well as for
general use, the. recommended
size is 75 feet long, .42 feet
wide, or 3,150 square feet, probably a more realistic size for
a growing population.
An expert has also estimated
that a typical pool complete
with filtering, rercirculating
equipment and '^standard accessories such as diving boards will
cost about $10 per square foot.
This, of course, is "the cost, for
the pool facility alone, located
outdoors. Thus, the minimum
2,000-squarerfoot pool would
cost about $20,000 .. . . and the
3,150-square-foot pool would
cost about $31,500.-. Of course,
prices can vary widely from
these typical figures, depending
on .§ucli--V^riaM5gvHS tlie depth
of the Water-"itf the diving area
, . , the width: of the apron surrounding the„pool . . . the number of) "extras" such as underwater lights, etc.
Shovfer and locker room fa-
cilitijes would add another
$10,000j, approximately, to . the
cost off either installation. Thus,
with the minimum pool,'a fund
of about $30,000 .would be needed. With the larger pool about
$42,000 would, be needed.
At present, the planning
groups are proceeding on the
assumption that the cost of the
pool site will not be a major
factor in the overall picture.
Of course, at this stage of
planning, no-one in the area,
including the planners, can be
an expert. But your wishes, as
expressed in the questionnaire
below, can be of immeasurable
help in producing THE pool
which YOU want. The service
clubs ask.that you state your
preferences now.

Two Announce
For Council Seats;

A contest for the office of
mayor developed in Saline this
week, as Councilman and Mayor
pro tern George Johnson announced his intention to oppose
the incumbent, Mayor Jackson
T. Bennett.
At the same time, two men
announced their candidacy for
Council seats, incumbent Robert
Strohl, and former Councilman
George Anderson. But Councilman Donald Dechert said he
will not seek a second term.
Three Council seats . . . those
now held by Johnson, Strohl,
and Dechert . . . are to be
filled at the November election,
along with the office of mayor.
Additional petitions for Council had also been taken out this
week by Dr. John Buck, of 305
Mills Rd., but Buck said he had
not decided for whom the petitions would be circulated.
Nominating petitions for all
city offices must contain not
less than 70 signatures, and
must be filed with the City
Clerk no later than September
1.
Bennett is completing his second term as mayor, having
•erved a partial term as a
Council member before that. He
said he intends to seek a third
term because "I like' the job,
ind there is still a lot to be
*one."
■Among other* things, he said,
"I am still bound and deter-
nned we're going to have a
• new City Hall and Fire Hall.
'le still have a lot of things on
the fire that I would like to see
accomplished, since I was in at
Tie start: MEHA Village, the
capital expansion program, and
others."
Johnson, who is completing
his second term on the Council,
said: "After serving as councilman and mayor pro tern for
almost four years, I have come
to have some very strong opin-
;ons of the type of program
ind leadership that will be needed in the years to come. Our
growing community needs leadership, planning, coordination,
and follow-through in its city
government. It is for these and
other ' reasons that, I have decided to run for the office of
mayor."
Johnson said he had been
"encouraged by a number of
people in the community to be
a candidate (for mayor) and
been assured by my employer
that I will .have all the time
off necessary to fulfill the duties of the office".
He is  on  the administrative
