Bowdlear, chairman of the Rose-
dale Gardens Advisory Commit-
tee on Civilian Defense, which
comprises Mrs. Pat Kinnahan;
Mrs. Hernia Taylor, Harry, Simp-
son and Jack VanCoevering. The
committee has already begun to
register volunteers, .and before
,the week is over, expects to con-
tact and register most of the
members of the organized groups
in the community. When -this has
been completed, others will reg-
ister, perhaps at .a center such as
the clubhouse. Registration will
be in charge of Mrs. Kinnahan.
"Although registration is 'on a

ToSee Varipapi!
Indicative of the advance ticket
sale, a capacity attendance can
the expected next Saturday after-
noon and evening at the Livonia
Recreation when "Andy" Vari-
Papa, world's most sensational
bowler, is to make personal ap-
pearances. Victor Petschulat, co-
owner of the alleys, suggests that
those who expect to attenli pur-
chase their tickets as soon as
possible. The number of tickets
is limited and a complete sell-
out is expected.
From 2 until 5 o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, V aripapa will be
on hand to offer free instruction
to bowlers. As was the case last
Year when he appeared'in a sim-
ilar capacity, he instructed by
I
roup method and then pointed
out faults of individuals. His
criticism is wholly constructive
and he asks that individuals who
have •difficulty with their game,
take advantage of this opportun-
ity for him to point out their
faults.
For his evening appearance,
the bowling ace will take part in
match games and challenge sev-
eral local bowlers to display their
skill against his. At 11 o'clock he
will put on his un -surpassed ex-
hibition of trick shots and fancy
bowling. Many of Varipapa's _
tricks were recently filmed for,
the motion picture short, "Strikes
and Spares."

THE LIVONIAN
,Apply for Tires
In Plymouth
Livonia car owners who wish
to apply for new tires, under
stipulations of the recent ban
imposed by the United States
government, may do so at Plym-
outh, which has just been named
as one of the five centers in
Wayne county, in ,addition to.
the county building in Detroit.
Applications for tires can be
made in Plymouth at the city hall
with Secretary Clarence Elliott
of the Plymouth commodities
committee. There are only 1,542
tires for Wayne county distribu-
tion during January. As to who
will get the tires is under the
jurisdiction of County Clerk Cas-
per Lingeman, chief tire- admin-
istrator, and members of his
county board, Arthur E. Elder
and Otto G. Wismer.
In Plymouth, Mayor Ruth E.
Huston -Whipple has appointed a
five -man board in accordance
with the suggestions of Col. Har-
old Furlong, director of the state
council of defense. Local mem-
bers are William Wood, chair-
man, Clarence H. Elliott, Ray-
mond Carley, Ralph J. Lorenz
and Ernest J. Allison.
Duties of the local commit-
tee which held its first meeting
last Monday afternoon, are to
receive ,applications for permits
to purchase tires, to determine
the validity of such claims, to as-
sign priority numbers in accord-
ance with federal regulations and
to issue certificates entitling the
approved applicants to purchase
tires, if available:
The mayor attended a county
tire -rationing committee meeting
in the office of the county clerk,
Casper Lingeman, Wednesday
afternoon. Although the news-
papers have said that the num-
ber of the committee is to be re-
duced to three members, Mayor
Whipple explains that she has
received no official notice of
such a change so the Plymouth
committee is still operating un-
der the orders of December 24.
In the event that the committee
is reduced to three members, it
is understood that the committee
will consist of Chairman William
Wood, C. H. Elliott and Raymond
Carley.

Here's Your Chance to Take
,A Fowling Lesson Free!
BY ANDY V-ARIPAPA ..
(Continued from last week)
Following is the second and
concluding, portion in a series of
bowling lessons by Andy Vari-
papa, who is to appear at the
Livonia Recreation Saturday
afternoon and evening, January
17, for a personal exhibition of
bowling ski11, trick shots and
free instruction period:
No. 4—How to Howl a Hook
There comes a time in the
bowler's life when he seeks to
learn how to control the ball to
such an extent that he can hook
it at will. ,
The hook ball is hard to con-
trol and much practice is neces-
sary before this can be accom-
plished. With proper patience, it
can be done, and the bowler will
enjoy the game more and more,
because a strike achieved with a
hook ball is far more effective.
How to roll such a ball: The
ball must be released with the
thumb facing the left, and it is .
delivered with the thumb leaving
the ball first and the finger or
fingers last. This permits the ball
to travel down the alley in a:
forward motion with` a follow -i
through delivery. Thus the ball
will roll toward the left, finishing
the hook. Of course the opposite
holds true for left hand bowlers.
No. 5—Don't Spare the Spares
Confidence -often plays an im-
portant role in your bowling
game, especially, in the making
of spares. Some spares are more
difficult , than others. For in-
stance, when you are confronted
with a hard spare, often a men-
tal hazard will prevent you from
making it. If you- have difficulty
with some spares, the best advice
I can'give you is to go out on
the alley and bowl that partic-
ular spare until you have gained
your confidence and can make it
almost whenever it appears.
How to go about rolling for
the following spares iIf it's the
ns that are
10 -pin spare or any p
on the right; stand on the left
and roll the bali:in a direct line
toward the pin or pins that re-
main on the right. When thepins
are on the left side, stand on the
right and roll toward the left. In,
other words, always roll from
the opposite side from where the
pins stand after delivering your
first ball. The more pins there
are near the seven or ten, the
more you should stand to the
opposite side of the alley.-
y No. 6—Study the Alleys
No two bowling alleys are
alike. Therefore, a bowler who
goes, from alley to, alley should
study them in order to obtain
the maximum results.
In bowling on a strand alley,
the bowler should roll the first
ball from the exact spot or strip
that he has been accVistoxned to
and watch the ball until it hits
the pins, and also where it
strikes.
If the ball slides too much to.
the left after the delivery, the
angle should be changed on the .
next throw. If the ball does- not
come up enough, the bowler
should move more to the right
to increase the angle. The bowler
must study this problem and
make any necessary corrections.
The hook or curve ball has
many advantages. Many times
they will overcome obstacles on
different alleys, where other
delivery will not.
All alleys are laid out as per-
fectly as possible. Any good
bowler should be able to over-
come an obstacle, after a few
games if he pays proper atten-
tion.
No. 7—Straight Ball
Just as the hook is very diffi-
cult to handle, so is a straight
ball' the easiest to control for
the beginners. I would advise
all beginners to use the straight
ball until they have gained the -
confidence of handling it with
accuracy -then learn the hook.
To roll a straight -ball, the
thumb is placed in a straight
forward position, and it leaves
the ball first, with the finger or
fngers last. This causes the ball to
roll in a straight line. The bowler
should be careful that the line
of aim is in the direction of the
1-3 pocket and the "follow-
through" in this case is the same
as in all deliveries.
As . at all times, the bowler
should take care that the ball
does not drop behind the foul
line, but lands a few inches over

the kindergarten and the first the girls and boys in our room

the line, giving it the proper start
and momentum.
No. 8—Backup Ball Is Liability
Although the backup or come-
back ball is used by many bowl-
ers, I discourage its practice and
use. However-, it's good to know
how to roll this ball because it
may be used to advantage on
certain occasions.
In ,this delivery, the .ball is
rolled with the palm up, the:
thumb turned to the right, and
the fingers underneath turned to
the right as well. This causes an
unnatural strain on the entire
arm and body and therefore
is a hard ball to control with
any degree of accuracy.
In employing this ball, the
bowler must really play his first
balls toward the No. 2 pin in-
stead of the 1-3 pocket. I have
seen many a strike made by
comeback bowlers in this man -

The children in this room have
begun a study of Eskimos. They

Power Company soon will be

Defense Savings Bonds through
voluntary pay roll allotment, D.
E. Karn, vice president and gen-
eral manager of Consumers, an-
nounced today.
Mr. Karn said the plan will
become effective as soon as the
clerical de�alls can be worked
out and a supply of printed
forms obtained. He predicted
that it will be in operation early
in January.
"This plan is being inaugur-
ated as a service to our employ-
ees and to the Government," Mr.
Karn said.
"A gi-eat many of our em-
ployees already have bought De-
fense Bonds and others have ex-
pressed a wish to do so. The
Company is attempting to make
the purchase of bonds as easy
and convenient as possible, be-
lieveing that if an employee buys
a Defense Bond he not only ren-
ders his Country a patriotic
service but also makes a sound
and wise investment for himself.
"Through the payroll allotment
plan, purchase of Defense Bonds
will become automatic. Partici-
pation will be entirely voluntary.
An employee who wishes to buy
a bond will simply authorize the
Company to deduct an appro-
priate amount from his pay
check every month until the
bond has been paid for. It there-
upon will be registered in his
name, or in such manner as he
desires, and delivered to him by
the Government."

This new educational outreach
of Scouting in aviation will sup-

activities, such as camping, sig-
naling, first aid, safety, leader-

to be confused with the Air
Cadet movement in England or
Canada. The Scout Oath and
Law will be emphasized, as in
every other Scouting program, as
the guiding principles for the Air
Scout's daily life.
While the Air Scout program
is for Senior Scouts, the Boy
Scouts of America also will offer
opportunities in aviation to any
younger Scout in any troop. This
will include study and model
building in accordance with the
established Scouting traditions
of "learning by doing." A new
series of aviation Merit Badge
subjects will be open to any
Scout who desires to explore
them. After demonstrating his
proficiency in these aviation
Merit Badge subjects, single and
double blade propeller insignia
will be awarded for his achieve-
ments and Scout specialization
in this field which leads on to
the Air Scout program when he
reaches 15 or over.

The Rosedale Gardens club-
house will be the scene of the
first community dance sponsored
by the Civic association Satur-
day evening, January 17. All res-
idents- of the Gardens are invit-
ed. Dancing will be from 10:00 to
1:00 o'clock.
"Come to the dance and enjoy
an evening with your neighbors
and friends," say members of the
association. Mr. and Mrs. G.
Mier are chairmen of the com-
mittee in charge of arrangements.
Friday evening the Civic asso-
ciation called its first meeting of
1942 and recently elected officers
were initiated into their new po-
sitions. Reports of last year's act-
ivities were submitted and mem-
bers discussed the current topics
of Red Cross and Civilian De-
fense.
Acknowledgments of gifts to
the boys in service were read.
Recently 12 servicemen were
sent fountain pens as gifts from
the association. Periodically in
the future other tokens of appre-
ciation will be given the boys.
Within the next few weeks the
association plans to launch an ex-
tensive membership drive in or-
der that every resident of Rose-
dale Gardens will be given a
chance to join the group.
Von D. Poihemus, association
president declared, "It is the duty
of every resident of Rosedale
Gardens to join the association
in order to make the community
a better place in which to live
and play.".
Following is a list of members
who will call at homes in th=
Gardens to solicit memberships
in the association this week:
