Drive Gets   Slated Sooner
Improvement of Saline-
Ann Arbor Rd., first sched
uled for three years in tir
future, now has a better out
look.
Work is now slated to start
in about 1% years. Ray
Koch, chairman of Washtenaw County Road Commission, told local Rotarians at
a recent meeting.
Saline-Ann Arbor Rd. was_
included in the Road Com^
mission's five-year plan, approved by the Board of Supervisors this spring, but it
held a relatively low priority.
Now, since priority is assigned on a basis of "popula-
ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS at Saline Fair time
each year takes place on the lawn of Saline Junior
High. Ifs the combination costume, pet, and bicycle-tricycle-decorating contest. Strictly for children, it nevertheless makes a fascinating study for adults. Somehow,
in the short span of an hour, before parade time, Supt.
Rose Farrell and her assistants manage to sort the dogs,
mutts, coons, cats, kids, rabbits and bikes into their
proper classes, and to choose ribbon winners without
ruffling any children's, parents', or animals' feelings.
Top entries this year included (top to bottom):
Peg, Rob and Susan Crim ... John and Diane Drake
with winning dogs in the pet show ... a grand assortment of Brown, Lodigiani, and other winning children,
with their champ costumes or bikes . . . and the entire
cast of Peter Pan, composed of Maders, Esches, Rogers
and Tulls. The Peter Pan project was the creation bf
Mrs. Kenneth Rogers, a real genius at such things.

fall, his family has learned.
Charlie's wife, Theresa,
called Thursday night to tell
the family that he had suffered a broken arm and
"some" fractured vertebrae
. . . but she was apparently
distraught, and did not name
the hospital to which he had
been taken.
She said he had been working on one of the storage
tanks referred to in the trade
as, "flat bottoms"; they are
not as high as water towers.
He was working in Henry,
111., when the accident oc-
cured; but he was taken to
a hospital elsewhere. He and
his wife were also living in
Henry, but had given only a
"general  delivery"  address.

Want Trees?
City Wil
Obtain Them
Householders who want to
beautify their property with
young trees will soon have an
excellent opportunity to do
so:
The city will buy, plant
and guy up new trees on
lawn extensions, if owners
will undertake to water them.
The city will also make
available low cost young
trees to property owners who
wish to buy them.
The subject was discussed
at Council meeting Monday
night by Administrator Mike
Strait, who has had the project in. mind for some time.
Any trees placed on lawn extensions would be paid for
by the city, he said, and
would be placed far enough
back so that they would not
be damaged by future widening of the street, if any.
But city crews are not
large enough to undertake
watering of a large number,
of^ trees once pr twice a
week,-as needed. Property
owners would be asked to
care for the trees themselves
once planting was completed.
In the other half of the
two-pronged offer, if enough
residents are interested, the
city will buy the trees in
large numbers to obtain lower cost, and will pass on the
savings to owners who want
to buy young trees and plant
them in back yards or elsewhere. This can only be done
"if enough people are interested",  Strait  said. '
Anyone interested in either
plan or both is asked to call
City Hall. Trees available include Norway and sugar maples, seedless green ash, sycamores, honey locusts, and
others.
