Saline Rotarians last Sunday put on their
first annual Steak Broil and won the hearts
of hundreds with their cooking. Held at the
Farm Council grounds on a perfect August
afternoon, the feast was such a hit that Rotarians are confident of at least doubling
their ticket sale for next year's event.
Preparations went into high gear early
Sunday morning, with the table committee
setting things up in the open-air shelter. The
pace peaked in early afternoon with "Mr.
Meat" and his pit committee preparing the
steaks. And the work continued until dusk as
Rotarians teamed up as a cleanup crew.
Rotarians this week expressed appreciation to Pat Brown ("Mr. Meat") and to the
Michigan Livestock Improvement Association, who made his service available here, for
helping make the event so successful.

above left with Frank Brittain, Jane, Mrs.- Brittain, and
Connie.
Kristina, who will attend senior classes at Saline High.
School this year, comes from a suburb of Helsinki, Finland,
and intends to form her judgments of this country and its
people from her own observations while she's here . . . not
from what, she's been told. But she prefers small towns to
cities, she says. She is fond of sports - swimming and siding - and speaks very good English after studying the language for two years. She arrived Friday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, where she was met by the delighted Brifc-
tain family.
