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: (Continued on page 2) o- s P.I.A. .

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 township water system. 0 Club to Hold Annual Election of Officers The annual election of officers of the Rosedale Gardens Parent- Teacher association will be held tonight (Wednesday) at eight o'clock in the Rosedale Gardens school.

Donors 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. o Fred Bamsey Speaks At Coventry Civic Club Fred Bamsey., coordinator of Livonia Township's Civilian De- fense Council, spoke before a meeting of the Coventry Gardens Improvement association last Monday evening. Ninety-eight per cent of the Coventry Gardens residents were represented at Monday's meefing• ' according to President John T. Howell. It was decided to put a vote before the group's membership to -determine the amount of monthly dues nec- essary, to provide a clubhouse at the next meeting -on March 23. - o Twelve -ladies of Plymouth Gardens enjoyed a luncheon and afternoon of cards at the home of Mrs. Lawrence Setterly on Stark road Tuesday. The hostess displayed souvenirs from Ire- land, Scotland and Iceland sent by her son, Robert Marshall, of the U. S. Navy.

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.

Group to Discuss Program on March 16 Kenneth Anderson, County 4- H leader, will outline plans for cultivating Victory defense gar- dens in Livonia at the next meeting of the Livonia Center Parent-Teacher association on March 16 at the Livonia Center school. Citizens of Livonia town- ship are urged -to cultivate plots of available ground to raise veg- etables for their own use and for sale to meet the demands of the war -time emergency. The pur- pose of the Victory garden pro- gram is to raise food at home saving on truck deliveries and farmers' trips to markets. The last meeting of the Li- vonia P.T.A. featured a Found- ers' Day program in which Mrs. June Salisbury, principal of the Livonia Center school, and Mrs. Edith Todd presented a comedy skit. President Fred Verran cut the P.T.A. birthday cake follow- ing a candlelight service. Guest speaker of the evening was M. H.

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.
