Back issues of The Saline, each fully indexed are available from 1986 forward:

Yearly bound volumes (1986–1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006 & 2007) ……..$26.00
Semi-annual issues (September 2003–current)………………………………………………..$13.00
Single issues (quarterly or semi-annually 1989–1996)………………………………………. $3.00
I am interested in ordering the Yearly bound volume 1986-1997. I would need to send a check to you for $26.00, plus $3.00 for Shipping, for a total for $29.00 dollars for this. Is this correct?

Can anyone direct me to maps of Bauxite/Pine Haven in 1940s/early 1950s? We lived there from 1944 to 1951 and then returned to the big city, i.e., Little Rock.
