Last Monday evening the Saline Women Bowlers held their annual joint dinner with about 100 attendees. Val Mikiel of Detroit, a national bowling figure, was guest of honor.

Junior high dancers under Miss Mary Lou Gall present a recital of dance and song at Saline Elementary Auditorium on Friday May 19. The Saline High School Band sponsors the Band Trip Fund. Admission is 75 cents, 50 cents with tickets from students, band members, or at the door.
In a classroom, clocks misled students with varying times while a boy with a watch offered the truth. Last week, clocks began showing the correct time, and everyone could prepare for the bell without asking the time.
Saline will vote by wards for the first time in the August primary with Ward I north of Michigan Ave and Ward II south. City Clerk EBJ Muir notes the split is required by state law limiting non machine precincts to 800 voters and cites labor shortages for election boards. Balloting sites are undecided, and rural townships will use machines with 1400-voter precincts.
To appear on the ballot as a county convention delegate a candidate must circulate a petition within their precinct and secure between 15 and 20 signatures from registered voters. The May 10 1956 Saline Observer lists precinct tallies for Pittsfield Saline township and York and notes signature requirements for delegates.
