Reverse Raspberry
As horticulturists, the Ted Stimpsons take all prizes
for unusual greenery . . . the latest is a raspberry bush
that somehow took root in a small spot of rot in the
branch above and has sent a whip halfway to the ground
. . . far enough down for Dorothy to reach it. There are
no raspberries yet, but anything can happen . . . Last
siimmer the Stimpsons had a small corn plant growing
beside their sidewalk on N. Lewis St. . . . and one sunny
day the congregation emerged from St. Paul's Church
and spotted an ear of corn on the plant. A lot of "oh"-
ing and "ah"-ing ensued, before somebody discovered
that Ted had tied the ear onto the plant with a bit of
twine. But the raspberry bush is authentic, insists the
photographer, who . . . being a suspicious soul , . .
checked.it carefully.
ot: Xn & «F Campaign Lacks
nd Week
To Confer With
Coiinty Farmers
Salinians, for the first time,
can now call the Police-Department on Sundays and holiday,
and at night . . . and expect
to get an answer.
The round-the-clock service
here is possible with the addi
tion of several "dispatchers",
who will also take training as
patrolmen. The improvement
was authorized by City Council
in July.
In the past, Saline had only
enough police officers for pat
rol in the "off hours". After the
rest of the city staff moved into
the present City Hall at the
main corner, there was a short
hiatus in even daytime communications . . . until the police staff grew large enough to
keep a full-time man, in the office while others were on patrol.
After that, residents who
wanted to reach Saline police
after work-hours still had to
call the county Sheriff's Department to do so.
But the local office is now
manned 24 hours a day, seye'n
days a week.
Among the dispatchers are
Daniel Root, 23, and James Sy-
mons, 21, both of whom will attend a state police training program in Saginaw, through the
month of November. Eventually, at least one will also go on
patrol, Police Chief James Ley-
leit said.
Both dispatchers live .in Saline. Root is a veteran of three-
years in the Army Military^
Police, ,one year in Viet Nam
and two at Ft. Bragg, N.C.
Symons is the son of Clayton
Harold Symons, Milan superintendent of schools. Neither dispatcher is married.
The city now has two patrolmen out between the hours of
2:30 and 5:30 p.m. and between
8 p.m. and 5, a.m. Only one man
is on. patrol during the rest 6i
= _he day.
TRfe iieed for dispatchers and
roUhd-the-clock telephone availability is apparent in the fact
that the department now handles approximately 1,000 messages a month. In a recent 15-
day period,"they received 1,028
incoming messages, 453 t e 1 e-
phone calls, and 575 radio messages.
The department now has two
incoming telephone lines;: the
public uses the one in the telephone directory, 429-7000. The
other is expected to be changed
before the new directories are
printed; consequently it has not
been published.
The dispatchers handle other
duties than telephone communications, Levleit, pointed out in
his monthly report to Council.
They also "type reports and
letters, administer the parking
meter violation procedures, and
conduct other administrative
assignments which were heretofore neglected."
In the month of September,
Levleit's report shows, officers
of the department worked a total of 1504 hours and 40 minutes.
While conducting regular patrol duties, officers assisted seven persons and-or vehicles with
gasoline, repairs or other assistance; made 18 investigations of suspicious persons and-
or vehicles; made 510 property
inspections and three liquor inspections; issued 30 verbal
warnings for minor traffic violations; and investigated 261 original complaints and* offense-
reports, 32 supplementary investigations .and six assists or
other department complaints,
for a total of 299 investigations.
The officers traveled a total
of 5730 miles while conducting
their patrol and investigative
activities.

questions are part of the weU-

their search for a better understanding of conditions existing
in the United States today.
THERMOMETER
GOES UP — BUT
STAYS BLANK
The Saline Area United
Fund drive, at the end of its
second week, had no report
at all today.
The campaign thermometer was put up Wednesday
morning, outside City Hall,
but there was nothing to record on it.
None of the campaign leaders was able to learn what
donations had been made, if
\any, toward the area's $23,-
724 goal.       .
Campaign chairman Don
Church said he had been unable to contact any of the area or special division chairmen to inquire about their
progress, but he was "quite
sure they were making collections". They have been instructed to turn in donations
to the Rev. Lawrence Cole,
treasurer of the United Fund
board, Church said.
Mr. Cole has received no
reports from any area or special division,.he said.but "the
drive is continuing". Even industrial contributions have
not been reported, he noted,
though many of these usually come in early in the campaign. Some funds have "probably been collected", he
said, but none have been
turned in to him, and none
have been deposited in the
bank.
President of the United
Fund, William Crim, Jr., said,
"Nothing has been brought in
to me."
The*TJnite_rFund drive in
Saline is traditionally planned to be completed in two
weeks *.... . but, in recent
years, it never has been.
Sometimes plagued by* bad
weather and "slowed by numerous other activities, it
has occasionally dragged on
until Christmas. The goal is
always reached,  eventually.
But the drive is usually
able to show partial returns
of at least 10 per cent by the
end of the second week; last
year's drive stood at 39 per
cent at this timel Last year's
drive also ended_at more than
200 per cent of its objective.
This year's budget, $23,-
724, represents an increase.of
55 per cent ove'r the JL9.66
-goal, but it is less than was
actually collected i n • 1966.
Two new agencies, Catholic
Social Services and the Cystic Fibrosis fund, have been
added to .the Saline list of
