More Civilian
Defense workers
Chairman Organizes
Training Program for
Protective Services
Additional Civilian Defense
workers are needed in Livonia
township, it was announced to-
day by C. L. Bowdlear, associate
coordinator in chargeof protec-
tive agencies.
"While the, response thus far
has been good," Bowdlear said,
"many more workers are- urgent-
ly needed in order to be prepared
for' any eventuality which may
come with the good. weather of
the spring."
Chairman Bowdlear, who has
studied all of .the -defense activ-
ity of civilian personnel over the
past three months, said with the
metropolitan area of Detroit
named as one of the possible
targets of enemy air, activity, the
need for air raid wardens, auxil-
iary firemen and policemen and
all of the other services -was more
acute than most residents of the
township realize.
Harry Simpson of- Rosedale
Gardens was named chief air
raid warden for Livonia township
at a meeting of the Civilian De-
fense council Saturday night at
the township hall. Fred Bamsey,
coordinator of the township de-
f.ense council, announced that
classes in air warden instruction
will start at the Rosedale civic
C,
ubhouse within the next two
weeks. Les Bowdlear, who has
directed air warden registration,
will serve as associate coordinator
of defense assisting Mr. Bamsey.
Classes in first aid already have
been started in the township.
First of these was held Thursday -
night at the Rosedale school un-
der the direction of Miss Natalie
Smith of the visiting nurses' as-
sociation. There are 30 members
of the class, and although this
was declared to be a noble start,
"many more persons trained in -
first aid work are- required."
All persons in the township
who have not registered for civ-
ilian defense, at the same time
designating their preference of
activity, were requested by 'Mr.
Bowdlear "to register with the
enrolling officer in their district,
or at the township office.
Mr. Bowdlear is now preparing
a.course for air raid wardens, to
be taken in addition to the first
aid classes. He has arranged to
transmit all possible information
to the wardens in a -series of two-
hour classes, once each week, for
five weeks.
The service classifications -for
which there isthegreatest need,
together with the work .perform-
ed by each were announced as:

.New lute Schedule
Effective..April 1
The Livonia Township Water
Board announces an increase 'in
the rate for the installation of
water services and meters effec-
tive April 1. The increase in rates
is, necessitated, by the increased
cost of labor and materials. The
price of copper, used in water
taps, has increased recently due
to an impending shortage of the
material.
According to the schedule of
new rates, service connection
charges for 3/4 -inch installations
are as follows: $55 for. 70 -foot
street widths; $65 for 71 to 90
feet; $75 for 91 to 120 feet and
$105 for 120_ tQ 204 feet widths,
Prices on larger sizes will .be
given upon application at the
water board offices in the town-
ship hall. The new rates repre-
sent an increase of approximate-
ly 15' per cent.
The new charge for water
meters will be $10 for a 5j8 -inch
meter, which -is an increase of
ten per cent over former prices.
The new" rate schedule affects
all water- users in the Livonia

Volunteers Donate
85 Pints of Blood at
Mobile Unit Monday }
Livonia residents responded
generously ,to the appeal for
volunteer blood donors when the
Red Cross mobile unit from De-
troit visited at the local branch
quarters at Hope- chapel Monday.
Mrs. Jesse ,;Ziegler, chairman of
the blood" donor program for the
local Fled Cross chapter,—reports
that 104 persons reported to vol-
unteer .blood donations,, 19 of
whom were rejected, with a total
of 85 pints of blood contributed.
The response in Livonia town-
ship exceeded .that of either
Northville or Plymouth. North-
ville contributed 70 pints and
Plymouth 75 pints when the
mobile unit visited those local-
ities. -
It was revealed that if that
amount of blood had to _bei -pur-
chased from, professional donors,
the cost would have amounted to
$2,125 to supply blood stores for
-emergency 'use by men in the
country's armed forces.
A doctor, four Red Cross
nurses - and two members of the
motor corps from headquarters
accompanied the mobile unit on
Mon -day's first official visit to
Livonia township. Mrs. W. West -
fall, assisted by three local grad-
uate nurses, Mrs. 'J. Kershaw,
Mrs. W. Peet and Mrs. J. Rieger,
constituted the assisting staff for
the blWd donor program.
A canteen committee. headed
by Mrs. Myron Anderson, served
orange juice and lunches of
sandwiches, tea, coffee and cook-
ies to 124 persons including all
the blood donors and the staff
members. The canteen commit-
tee included Mrs. Charles Shel-
ton, Mrs. Gustave Zobel, Mrs. T.
Christianson, Mrs. A. Middle-
wood and Mrs. -W. Wilson.
A motor corps unit, including
Mrs. J. Binder, Mrs., T. Eggers,
Mrs. R. Moorehouse and a group
of Navy mothers, provided trans-
portation to ,the branch office for
volunteer donors." The blood
donor program was financed by
money donated by Livonia res-
idents in the January Red Cross
fund drive. All workers, includ-
ing the motor corps and clerical
staff at Hope Chapel, donate their
services without pay. Discounts
on food and milk supplies were
extended by Charlie's Market,
Seven Mile and Farmington
roads, the Detroit Breadmakers'
association and John Nation's
creamery at Six Mile and Middle -
Belt roads.

And now what is the kinder-
garten up to!!! Many busy peo-
ple making many different things
and it looks like a circus to us!
Sometimes just thinking and just
remembering what a circus looks
like and then starting right in to
make something without any
suggestions from the teacher, and
then again_ some ideas from
Nancy and Mary Ann and Patsy
who have actually seen the
Shrine Circus. It is a marvelously
imaginative field and what with
a teacher thinking up harder and
harder things all along, well, we
think our circus will be most in -
genius. And if .you never heard of
the lion pulling the caged wagon
with the man inside of the cage
instead of the other way around,
you can find it over here all
right. There is a load of wood,
too, that came to school this week
and with the aid of Billy French's
saw as well as a few of our own,
one spot in the kindergarten
room looks like a defense unit.
The pre -reading, is the best we
have ever had from any kinder-
garten we ourselves think—we
mean in the whole world.
The three bears are walking
around the walls of the first
grade. And in very dramatic mo-
ments, too, but of course that
goes with the story. If you have
never, never heard of the story
of the Three Bears, just come
in and see. Did I hear some real
arithmetic going on in that room,
too, the other day? Yes, and no-
body seems to think it is really
hard. Just a part of the day's
work. And axlother .part is the
spelling. More about that later.
The second and third grades
know a lot of things. How do
news and information come to
us? Ask the third graders. News-
papers news reels, radio and
what else? And ask the second
graders about who our helpers
are. The grocer, the fireman, the
policeman are certainly good
helpers. Also in the "Neighbors
and Helpers" 'book by G. Storm
there is some very interesting
reading about George Washing-
ton which every boy and girl in
the mrd grade knows by this
time.
If it is a privilege to be able
to read about George Washington
in the third grade it is equally
a privilege to be able to work
on the reading unit on the Neth-
erlands in the fourth grade. The
fourth graders are the first to be
introducing the Dutch customs
and habits this year. And there
is some interesting everyday act -

We overheard one boy tell a little

the Plymouth and Rosedale
Garden branches of the Woman's
National Farm and Garden asso-
ciation will be held at 12:30
o'clock, Monday, March 9, in the
Hotel Mayflower with the Plym-
outh branch as hostess.
An outstanding program will

February issue of the National
Geographic magazine contains a
lengthy article with many pict-
ures on this subject. They are

Michigan. Mrs. Lester Bookout of
the Rosedale club will play the
piano.
Each member of either group

How putting the
on a lump of coal
hops lower your electric rates
Most of the electricity produced in the Detroit
area comes from coal burned in large power
plants. The heat energy in the coal is trans-
formed into electrical energy and sent out to
customers' homes over wires. For many years,
our engineers have devoted time and effort to
squeezing MORE electrical energy out of LESS
coal. How successful have they been?
Back in 1906, three -and -a -half times as much
coal was required to make electricity as today.
In 1912, two -and -a -quarter times as much was
needed. By 1925, the amount was down to one -
and -a -half times as much. And today, with
more energy being "squeezed" from coal than
ever before, the amount of coal required is still
being whittled down.
Coal is only a small part of the total cost of
making electricity. Other factors are involved.
But the story of coal typifies the many improve-
ments we are constantly making —large and
small — to lower the cost of electricity. The
average price per kilowatthour paid by our
residence customers today is 46 per cent less
than in 1921. The Detroit Edison Company.
ELECTRICITY IS ONE THING THAT
HASN'T GONE UP!
