The column satirically covers a string of local issues from bank robbery headlines to Saline city council disputes and the rise of a Saline Area Democrats group. It notes election procedure flaws and calls for healthy competition while lampooning one party dominance.
The Saline city council faces a dispute over the seat currently held by Charles Kern with Jackson T. Bennett claiming improper recount procedures. Bennett sought to depose Kern after losing by two votes in the November election. Kern is to appear before Circuit Judge James R. Breakey Jr. on February 4 to show cause why Bennett's suit should not proceed. The council also plans a February 5 meeting with township reps to discuss fire department radio equipment and cost prorating. Building permits were issued to Raymond Mallory and Jackson Bennett, and a inquiry about replacing a burned paint shop prefab building was received from the Community Ford Sales leaseholder.
Saline area Democrats prepare for an organizational meeting February 5 at Marty's Restaurant. State Treasurer Sanford A Brown will discuss The State's Financial Dilemma, joined by Washtenaw Dem chair Kenneth Hemmner and county vice chair Marjorie Lansing. The event runs 7:30 to 9 p.m with no charges and open to the public.
Edgar J. Woodcum 32 of near Milan turned himself in to Ypsilanti police and admitted attempting a robbery at Saline Citizens Bank last Saturday. He cited debt and unemployment as motives and police found two unloaded .25 revolvers in his truck. The bank thwarted by cashier Helen Zornow, mirroring a similar 1920s Old Times heist.
