Last Saturday, an unusual Saline couple -as'.ebratea
a 30th wedding anniversary in an unusua_ way ;.'.', Meredith and Thyra Bixby. famous puppeteers, were honored at the Detroit Art Institute by a deception between
the showings of their new production, "The Wizard of
Oz".
Their programs are created here in the Old Saline
Opera House, which has been the scene of dramatic
shows: since 1878 . . . but now the walls are lined with
scenery and puppets from the Bixby repertoire. "Aladdin and His Magic Lamp" hang near the feathery white
storks and the owl from the "Enchanted Birds". "Pin-

"He's a great kidder and he
teases me'about it a lot." But
much of the building went on
while he was at work; he's
employed at the Hoover Ball

As to where Jean got all
the know-how . . . some of it
came from books on carpentry and. electrical work, but
a lot of it came from her

Her father, Thomas Talk-

in June while Jean was building the house . . . ^'He wasn't surprised ... he thought
it was the.natural thing for

Christmas carols sung through chattering teeth came out something like
"D-d-d-deck the halls with b-b-b-boughs of holly" this week, as members of the
Daytime Jaycee club d-d-d-decorated the town with holiday greenlery. Bundled up
against the freezing cold and bitter wind, they completed the job in three daysi
with the exception of the lengths of red ribbon which will have to wait for a calm
day. Not only does the ribbon tend to blow away, but "when it's so coldj you can't
handle it," explained one of the crew. Above are Howard Marquette, Dan Houghton in the hood, Paul Horn on the ladder, and Joe Eisele in the earmuffs. Boll
Cummings worked on the project, too.
t Holiday doings will get under way Saturday, when Santa Claus will arrive
downtown at 1 p.m.... not on a Ski-doo and iiot on a mini-bike, as he had thought
he might, but on some other conveyance altogether which the cagey oldgen^
billed merely as "a surprise". His headquarters for the day will be at 107 E. Mich--

MAN INJURED WHEN
CAR STRIKES TREE
Raymond Charles Hayford,
32, of Adrian, was taken to
St. Joseph Mercy Hospital;
on Wednesday morning, for
treatment of injuries he suffered in an accident at 6J10
a.m. about four miles west
of Saline on US--12.
A task that any other woman would regard as an insurmountable obstacle is
merely "a challenge" to Imogene Hertler.
She has just about finished
building a house, for instance. She's putting down
the carpetting. now, and all
that remains is to stain and
varnish the woodwork and to
finish the recreation room.
It's-a four-bedroom frame
house with 21/? baths, at 7570
E- Michi .an Ave. And Imogene (called "Jean" or "Jean-
rue" by her friends) was the
carpenter, plumber, electrician, and most of the other
workers, too.
To begin with, she dug the
basement, with backhoe and
tractor. The Hertlers hired
someone to pour the footings,
build the basement wallj put
in the fireplace, put in the
furnace, and do part of the
plumbing. And the house was
partly pre-cut. But Jean was
the builder.
She put up the walls, put
on the roof and shingled it,
installed glass in the picture
windows and all others^ hung
the doors,1- put on the trim . . .
and even dug the trench for
the gas line to come in. She
built the stairs and did the
wiring, "three-way switches
and all   -       ■ *■*
It took her a year to do all
this .' . . but she had a few
other occupations to keep up
