NEW EQUIPMENT FOR SALINE
HOSPITAL gets once-over from members of the Hospital Auxiliary. Mrs. Mary Woods, Mrs. John Lochey and Mrs.
Sam Lambarth examine the Spectrophotometer and the Flame Photometer that
help Lab Technician Charles Slay (right)
to perform body fluid- /tests, for Saline
Hospital patients.
The equipment enables Slay to perform 98 per cent of such tests in the
hospital. Before, most of these tests had
to be jobbed out to other hospital labs.
The Auxiliary, headed by Mrs. Woods,
gave the equipment to the hospital recently, as the group's regular annual
gift to Saline Community, financed in
large part by the. Auxiliary's Autumn
Snjopgasbord and card parties.
Mrs. Woods is presidentof, the Auxiliary, and Mrs. Lambarth is vice president. The group gave $1,200 for purchase
of the equipment.

"CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN", Saline High Junior Class Play, is shown in
the shaping-up stage early this week.
The comedy of life in the early part of
the 20th century tells about the parent
vs. children conflict in a family of a
dozen children ... so the cast is neces^
sarily large. In the photo, Cheerleader
Joe Scales, played by Mike Romelhardt,
is about to be put down, in his quest for
a "soda date" with one of the girls in
the family. Father, played by Joe Bassett, concedes that a few minutes at the
ice cream parlor would be harmless
enough ... if Father himself goes along
as chaperone.
The Junior Play begins its three-
night ran at the High School Little Theatre this Thursday . . . and continues
through Saturday.

Off the Road
The driver bf a stolen truck
that forced "about 50" cars
off the road Monday afternoon was finally taken into
custody by Police Officer Bob
Russell, after the truck Hit
a parked car in Ypsilanti.
Leading the hair-raising
pursuit, in the truck, was. a
29-year-old escapee from Ypsilanti State Hospital, Robert
Pruitt, of near, Ann Arbor.
He was returned to the hospital after the episode; he
was not injured in the collision, police said.
Saline police received their
first warning of trouble a-

Monday, as voters poured in to decide
the swimming pool issue. Fine weather
helped, but so did the extensive discussion that had preceded the election. Although  election  officials   seldom   got a

lined up outside the building all the way
to the sidewalk, even after dark. (The

Proposal
Sinks
By 2-1
A $580,000 bond issue for
a swimming pool was defeated by Saline School District
voters, Monday, in the biggest school election turn-out
ever seen here.
A total of 1,390 went to
the polls (including 13 absentee voters) to reject the
pool more than two to one.
The final count was 954 "no"
and 417 "yes".
School officials were more
concerned over an upcoming
millage election than the result of the pool vote. Said
Superintendent Harold Hintz,
"That (the defeat of the pool
proposal) is the people's
choice. But I hope that when
the time comes for millage,
they will make a different
choice."
It is expected that an extra
operational millage will go
on the ballot this summer.
The school now has 7.54 extra voted mills approved by
voters last year, for one year
only.
The School Advisory Council's pool committee is "quite
satisfied" with the outcome
of Monday's election, said Kit
Clark, one of its members.
"We set out to do two things
