Livonia residents may register now for the township's second Red Cross blood donor program in April. Persons between the ages of 21 and 60 years of age who are in good health are urged to register at Hope Chapel, Six Mile and Middle Belt roads, or phone Livonia 6-1761, for ap- pointments when the Red Cross mobile unit visits the township in April "If anyone is too busy to vol- unteer as an air raid warden, auxiliary fireman or in any other branch of civilian defense work, he can still make his contribution by donating a pint of blood to save a life. Doctors and nurses of the Red Cross mobile unit will visit the local branch head- quarters. The process requires only a few minutes, with very little trouble to anyone, no fin- ancial cost and no more pain than the prick of a pin," advises Mrs. Eunice Rhoades, chairman of the Livonia Red Cross chapter. The Red Cross canteen will serve orange juice before and coffee and sandwiches after each blood donation and transporta- tion will be provided upon re- auest. Converted into plasma, the blood will become a part of the million pint bank which the Red Cross is obtaining for men in the lVrmy, Navy and Marine service and for disaster victims. In the event of. an air attack, if blood transfusions are needed in Livonia, the Red Cross supply will supplement banks in city hospitals. One pint of blood has a commercial value of $25 if ob- tained from professional donors. All persons interested in a motor mechanics' course for training in the Red Cross motor corps are asked to attend a meet- ing at Hope Chapel, Six Mile and Middle Belt roads, next Friday morning, March 27 at 11:30 o'clock. Mrs. Gertrude Beitler and a staff sergeant from Detroit headquarters, in charge of civ- ilian defense education, will ex- plain the requirements of the motor mechanics' course to be offered in Livonia township.

Committee Requests Federal Building Grant A committee from the Cooper Community Civic club comprised of Ray Thorpe, E. G. Taylor and A. Wilson conferred last week with Fred Fischer, superinten- dent of Wayne county schools, and Charles Brake, county dep- uty superintendent, in an at- tempt to obtain a federal works grant for a new school building or an addition to the Cooper school The appropriation is requested to relieve overcrowded condi- tions at the Cooper school, which includes a brick veneer building and a frame portable building erected last fall with eight classrooms and a small health room. The enrollment of the school is 360, the m4imum capacity. The health room is now being used as a kindergarten room. Cooper school pupils have been on full' -day sessions only since the middle of the present school term. For three previous years, children in the lower grades of the eighth grade building have been on half-day class sessions and it is believed that the school will be forced to eliminate the kindergarten and return to half- day sessions for the lower grades next fall unless additional facil- ities are provided.

The youngest man classified in the first group of lottery numbers is 37 years of age and the group ranges in age from 37 to 44 years. The sequence in which num- bers were drawn in Tuesday's lottery determines the order in which these men will be called for military service unless de- ferred. The complete list of order numbers will not be available at the local board offices for about two weekss until they can be checked against a master list and released by the army. The num- bers will be postern. at that time in the office of the local board. It is not believed that question- naires will be distributed to these registrants until some time in May.

The special proposal on the April 6 ballot reads as follows: "Shall Act Number 234 of Public Acts of 1931, providing for the regulation by the township board of the construction of buildings .on plats or subdivisions in the township, be adopted by this township?" Enactment of the proposal will permit the establishment of a building code which is not pro- vided in the/ zoning ordinance now pending final approval and enactment. The voters of Livonia township authorized the drafting of a zoning ordinance which will take effect upon completion of public hearings throughout all township districts. If the special election proposal is adopted, building plans will be submitted to the township board for ap- proval before construction is started and a building inspector will issue building permits for permanent township records. The location of township poll- ing places is as follows: Precinct No. 1, consisting of the area north of Six Mile road and west of Middle Belt road, at the old school -building at the rear of the Pierson school on Seven Mile road, east of Farmington road; Precinct No. 2, consisting of the area south of Schoolcraft road, east of Farmington road, at a voting ,booth on the corner of Plymouth and Merriman roads; Precinct No. 3, consisting of the .area between Six Mile and Schoolcraft roads, at the Li- vonia township office on Five Mile road, east of Farmington road; Precinct No. 4, consisting of the area south of Schoolcraft road and west of Farmington road, at a voting booth' on the corner of Plymouth and Stark roads; and Precinct No. 5, consisting of the area north of Six Mile road and east of Middle Belt road, at a voting booth at the corner of Seven Mile and Angling roads, West of Inkster road.

"Feed" Lawn Early In Spring to Get the Best Summer Results (By The Master Gardener) The blustery March weather of spring doesn't seem to be oppor- tune to promote lawn work, does it? But did it ever occur to you that even now the grass roots are going into action in earnest, preparatory to pushing up green spears above the earth, during the cool moist atmosphere of early spring in which grass thrives so well? And a thriving, vigorous growth early in the season fortifies the grass against the more unfavorable hot sum- mer weather, and against the greedy weeds that will start growth in early summer. Give your lawn a good early start this year. In the very early spring even if the ground is fro- zen apply a feeding of complete balanced plant food, at the rate of four pounds per 100 square feet of lawn area. If the grass has made no top growth when .you make application of the plant food, you need not water it in— simply scatter the plant food evenly on the surface, either by hand or with a plant food spread- er, and the spring rains and late snows will dissolve the plant food and carry it down to the grass roots where it is ready to help the first growth activity. If there is already a nice car- pet of young green spears in sight, then you must water the plant food in thoroughly after spreading it evenly on the area to be fed, so as to avoid damage to the tender young growth and make the plant food immediately available to the roots. If you have never used com- plete balanced plant food and are somewhat skeptical as to the results to be secured, then con- vince yourself by feeding half 0 Using identical heating methods tea can be made more quickly in Denver than in Atlantic City, be- cause the boiling point of water is lowered one degree F. for ev- ery 500 feet of ascent above sea level.

Michigan THE LIVONIAN Stark School Holds Air Raid Rehearsal Children of the Stark school responded quickly to an air raid drill rehearsal last Friday morn- ing. The practice air raid warn- ing is sounded by ringing the fire alarm bell twice. The children filed out of their classrooms into the school corridors and base- ment of the old school building. Stark school is completely equip- ped with sand pails, .shovels and rakes, according to Principal James Rossman. 0 New Stark School (Continued from page 1) office, 15x24 feet, for the school principal, supervising teacher and school nurse. The new struc- ture will also accommodate the addition of a second -story at some future time. The rooms are individually heated with thermostatic control and ventilation in each room. The new office is located be- tween the two former buildings now connected with the new ad- dition by a corridor. The school site formerly included an old frame building with two class- rooms and a brick veneer build- ing completed by WPA in 1938 with there classrooms. The new addition and two former build- ings are now enclosed in one large school so that children no longer have to pass outdoors be- tween classrooms. The present school enrollment is 220 children and the maximum - capacity of the enlarged build- ing is 260 to accommodate chil- dren. in the first eight grades. The teaching staff was increased to seven with the addition last week of a new substitute -teacher, Mrs. Doris Mitchell, in part of the first grade and the second grade. Mrs. Mitchell formerly taught at the Palmer school and in Upper Peninsula schools. Construction of the school ad- dition was started November 10. Architects were Lyndon and Smith and the general contractor was Edward. Peterson. The school property now includes five acres with playgrounds. Auxiliary Police (Continued from page 1) an emergency must be the first on the job and the last to leave. Dallas Hay, who has been ap- pointed by the civilian defense council of Livonia to take charge of the auxiliary police service, is a veteran of World War- I, hav- ing served with the British Army for four years in France, and he has had considerable experience in many of the hazards which may confront us in this present emergency. Auxiliary police reg- istrants are asked to bring pencil and notebooks to Sunday after- noon's class meeting. The air raid warden class which started at the Pierson school last Friday evening will meet at the Clarenceville school on Middle Belt and Seven and a Half Mile roads every Friday eve- ning hereafter at 7:30 o'clock -d The highest purpose of intel- lectual cultivation is, to give a man a perfect knowledge and mastery of his oven inner self. —Novalis.

The fire smoldered in the kit- chen of the home nearly half an hour before the girl detected smoke. She awoke her little bro- ther, but he persisted in remain- ing within the house. Finally Marilyn shoved him through a window and followed him through with an armful of pillows and bedclothing. The children then ran through the heavy rain to the home of a neighbor. The parents were at- tending a meeting of the P.T.A. at the Livonia school nearby and did not know of the fire until summoned by neighbors. The Plymouth and Livonia fire departments answered the call but were unable to save the little three-room house, which burned to the ground. Loss of the house and furnishings was estimated at $4,000. The family has found ref- uge at the home of a brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Schumacher on Surrey road, and neighbors and friends have do- nated clothing and toys for the children.
