Citizens And Aides
For Co-operation
Livonia's first test blackout, in
cooperation with the Detroit
metropolitan area, Sunday night
was hailed as a- success by Co-
ordinator Fred E. Bamsey, who,
commended the citizenry of the
township for their 100 percent
cooperation.
The practice test was virtu-
ally a total blackout in the Li-
vonia township area because
there are very few street lights
in the district on only the main
highways. The only lights vis-
ible from the township hall, ac-
cording to official observers, were
the red and green traffic lights
at main intersections and the
reflection in the sky of lights
from the Kelsey -Hayes munitions
Plant near Plymouth.
C• L. Bowdlear, associate co-
ordinator in charge of the pro-
tective services, complimented
all volunteers in the township
civilian defense organization for
their part in making the black-
out rehearsal a- success. There
were 245 air raid wardens in the
zones of the township and a large
corps of auxiliary police officers
to enforce the blackout regula-
tions.
Lights in approximately 3,500
homes in the township were
turned off as the warning sirens
sounded from the Felician Sis-
ters' Home and from -the fire sta-
tion at Cal Roberts' service on
Plymouth road. According to pre -
reports, there were 15
lights showing soon after the 10
o'clock warning siren sounded.
When contacted by their neigh-
borhood air raid wardens, all of
these householders cooperated
and turned off house lights.
Traffic was at a standstill
throughout the area with cars
parked at the side of the road
and all lights turned -off.

Stark School Holds Dedication War Curb Blocks
For New Addition and Gift Plaque Water Extension
A special.progr:am was held for
the dedication of the Stark school
addition and also the dedication
of the plaque, "Spirit of. Amer-
ica," which was donated by Mr.
and Mrs. Leo F. Stone, last Fri-
day evening.
Guest speaker at the dedica-
tion ceremony was Fred C.
Fischer, Wayne 'county superin-
tendent of schools. Following the
singing of "The Star Spangled
Banner" bv_ the audience and the
invocation by the Rev. Verse B.
Carson, the history _ of Stark
school was presented by John M.
Campbell, director of the Stark
board of education. L. Jack Gage,
treasurer of the school board, re-
cited the history of the plaque.

"I believe in the United States

Rosedale Civic Club
Offers Survey Data
Success or failure of the re-
cent survey in Rosedale Gardens
on time and destination of res-
idents going to work will depend
upon the interest of the people
themselves, according to Von
Polhemus, president of the Rose-
dale Gardens Civic association,
which sponsored the survey.
The survey was made to ob-
tain information which would
read to trading of rides by Gar-
dens residents, thus saving tires.
"If there are four persons go-
ing to approximately the same
destination," said Mr.-Polhemus,
"and they go at approximately
the same time every day, it is
only common sense that they
should ride together, thus saving
not only tires but money as
well."
However, the president of the
Civic association said that "mak-
ing" the rides was a matter for
the people themselves.
"There seems to be a mistaken
impression that the Civic asso-
ciation will compile.the cars and
arrange the rides," Mr. Polhemus
said. "This is not correct. We
have the information and are
ready and anxious to give out
this information, but it is up to
the people to arrange their own
rides."
Information obtained from the
survey is ' available by calling

Prohibits Projects
In Excess of $5,000
The township water board. an-
nounced this week that it will be
impossible to obtain approval for
Livonia's proposed project of
water main construction. The an-
nouncement followed consulta-
tions last week by Herald Hamill
with officials of the Federal
Housing administration and the
War Production board in Detroit.
A War Production board order
of April 9 halted all new con-
stuction without permission for
preference ratings from the WPB
including utility construction in
excess of $5,000. The estimated
cost of the proposed water main
extension project in Livonia
township is $300,000. Officials of
the FHA advised Mr. Hamill
that any application for pref-
erence rating for such s huge
project would not receive ap-
proval.
The township now has 55 miles
of water mains installed, but
there are •approximately 1,0,W
homes°in the area between Farm-
ington and Inkster roads and
Joy and Eight Mile roads with-
out satisfactory water supply.
Residents of that area encounter
difficulties in trying to drill pri-
vate wells because of poor soil
conditions and the prevalence of
salt water. It is in this eastern
Portion of the township that the
majority of new buildings are
being constructed.

IT'S a patriotic duty to help keep tele-
phone lines clear so that important war
messages will not be delayed. Even though
your line may not be needed for war calls,
a "traffic jam" of calls might tie up a
central office, stopping emergency mes.
sages from getting through. And scarcity
of war material- makes it impossible for
us to add to central office capacity as fully
as we should lake to do.
Keeping telephone conversations short
-will help. We suggest that you know
beforehand what_ you want to say; speak
g distinctly so you won't have to repeat,
and do not hold the line merely to talk
of trivial things.
In so far as material shortages permit, we shall
continue to provide the best service possible, and
we look forward to the day when we can meet
all requests as in the past. But now, and for the
duration, war needs come first.
BLEEP THESE POINTS IN MIND
You can help vital war messages go gluoug t if you—
• Make telephone conversations short
• Avoid the busy hours —
10A.M.to12;2todP.M.
• Be certain you have the right number
• Answer promptly when your teleph_,re rings

Last February 9th, the nation advanced its clocks and
watches one full hour "for the duration." People ask.
us—"What has the adoption of War Time meant in
actual saving of electric power?"
The hug& turbo -generator you see above produces
seventy -jive thousand kilowatts of electricity — enough
to take care of all the electric service requirements for
a quarter of a million average families. A single one of
these machines, complete, costs one -and -a -half million
dollars, not counting transmission or distribution equip-
ment to handle the ' current it produces. These great
generators are put "on the line" as needed to meet
peak -load requirements for electric power. Prior to
Pebruary 9th, in the late afternoon, the demand for
electricity from our power plants began to rise rapidly
as lights were turned on, and electric ranges started
cooking the evening meal. This simultaneous demand
for power—from homes, stores, and factories—resulted
in a high "peak" load, because lighting and cooking
came together.
Since February 9th—after the nation changed to
War Time — lights are turned on later. The home light-
ing load has been separated from the commercial light-
ing and cooking load, and fewer machines fake the one
above are needed to meet the evening "peak." It is
estimated that our evening 30 -minute peak has been
reduced 50,000 to 75,000 kilowatts by the change to
War Time. This releases valuable generating capacity
needed by industry four the manufacture of war mate-
rials. Incidentally, The Detroit Edison Company's total
generating capacity is now 51/2 times greater than at the
close of World War I. The Detroit Edison Company.

"Every wasted penny adds
to Hitler's bank book"
NEVER walk away from the
refrigerator without closing
the door. Leaving the door ajar
wastes either ice, electricity, or
gas—and does the food no good!
Even if you'll need to open it
again soon—shut the door!
Those pennies you'll save will
bring your family and your coun-
try added security if invested in
U. S. SAVINGS STAMPS AND BONDS!
Lieutenant Wilbur Kincade,
son of Mr. and Mrs. James R.
Kincade of Plymouth road, has
joined the mighty men of Mac-
Arthur: Hl's parents received
word last Saturday that he has
,arrived safely in Australia and is
feeling fine. Lieutenant Kincade,
a graduate of Michigan State
college, has been in the service
for a year and is now with the
coast artillery.
