ferred to the township board fol-
lowing the final hearing Friday

tions were made for minor
amendments.

days following Monday's enact-
ment. Glenn Phillips, zoning and

William H. Jackson, "for and in
consideration of the great love I
bear this tree and the great de-

entire possession of itself and all

Tot Loi Program
Summer Nursery To
Offer Recreation
The Rosedale Gardens Nursery
school plans to organize a "tot
lot" program for supervised out-
door recreation during the sum -
me months. Parents may enroll
children between the ages of two
and seven years in the "tot lot"
program which will be offered
each week -day Monday through
Friday from nine o'clock to 12
noon.
The proposal followed a talk
last Tuesday evening at the Rose-
dale Gardens school by Miss Jo
Kreiner of the Brightmoor Com-
munity Center, who explained
the plan and showed movies of
tot lots in Detroit. Mothers of
the summer nursery school chil-
dren will serve as supervisors in
charge and it is planned to have
one mother for each seven chil-
dren present. It is expected that
about 30 children will be en-
rolled.
The location of the Rosedale
"tot lot" is yet to be selected,
but it is hoped to have the pro-
gram organized to start by July
1. Present nursery school equip-
ment includes slides, swings,
teeter-totters, gym sets and sand
boxes. Parents interested in en-
rolling their . children are asked
to call Livonia 2851 or Livonia
2946. The cooperative nursery
school completed its spring term
Wednesday. The close of school a
week early was forced by a case
of scarlet fever.

Hunter Finds
"Radiosonde"
Instrument Tests
Weather Conditions
Edgar. Stevens of Horton road
near Plymouth found a strange
instrument lying on the ground
in - Conner's woods while he was
hunting on a recent Sunday
three miles south of Plymouth
near Joy road. Information from
the weather bureau office in De-
troit reveals that the instrument
is a radiosonde sent up from
the Wayne county airport on
January 1 to test weather and
flying conditions.
The radiosonde is attached to
a balloon which normally ex-
plodes at an altitude of about 12
miles, ;releasing the instrument
on a -parachute. It is operated by
a small battery, "broadcasts" and
registers weather and atmos-
pheric conditions. Mr. Stevens
sighted the balloon and para-
chute in a tree and found the
instrument on the ground near
by. He delivered the apparatus to
the Plymouth postoffice from
which it was forwarded to the
Detroit weather bureau office.
According to Clarence J. Root,
senior meteorologist of t h e
weather station, the radiosonde
was forced down by icing when
it reached an altitude of 4,000
feet and another balloon had to
be sent up. Apparently, the in-
strument had .been grounded for
about three months following its
sky exploration the first of the
year. It is being shipped to the
central weather bureau in Wash-
ington, D. C.
Only three musical instruments
were considered fit for practic-
ing on and for playing under the
old Nein England "blue" laws.
They were the Jew's-harp, the
drum, and the trumpet.

Wednesday, May 20, 1942 THE LIVONIAN Page 7
Eaton Senator
f'ontinued from page I)
tinels of America's war effort,
they should also be the rebuild-
ers of a nation that has become
involved in the world's most des-
perate. war, a war that if not won
will end our existence as a na-
tion.
Eaton's statement follows:
"I have decided to become a
candidate for the Republican
nomination for United States sen-
ator because I believe that the
most fortunate thing that can
happen to Michigan and the na-
tion is the elimination of every
hide -bound partisan Democrat in
both branches of the Congress
during the war period. While
Senator Brown has made appeals
for non-partisan support, h i s
Washington record has been any-
thing but non-partisan. It has
been politics as usual, politics
first and politics above every-
thing else.
"My purpose is to put the win-
ning of this war in first place
and keep it there until it is won.
Our Democratic senator is so en-
meshed in politics that he is un-
able to do otherwise than devote
a large part of his time to pol-
itics. He has been a member and
a defender of Michigan's Dem-
ocratic highway machine that has
even attempted the political con-
tamination of our jury system.
He has benefited politically by
its shake -down operations.
"He led the fight and defeated
in the United States senate the
Hatch clean politics bill which
if passed would have crushed the
Michigan highway political ma-
chine.
"This tremendously powerful
political organization is as ob-
noxious and as dangerous to good
government as was the Dem-
ocratic machine created by the
notorious, law -defying Huey
Long in Louisiana.
"The way to end it is to de-
feat every candidate who is di-
rectly or indirectly associated
with it.
"Our Democratic senator has
made much ado because he did
not happen to agree with the
President on the socalled court
packing bill and opposed it. It
didn't make any difference
whether he was for it or against
it, because everybody knew that
the court was soon going to be
packed by retirements and res-
ignations.-The
es-ignations.The court would have
been packed, as it was, without
legislation.
"Not only should Senator
Brown be defeated because of his
affiliations with this powerful
machine, but he should be rele-
gated to the tall, whispering
Pines of Michigan because of his
vote for a pension for himself
at a time when the men and wo-
men of this state are sacrificing
everything they possess in order
to win the war.
"It is essential that the attacks
being made in Washington upon
the American way of life be
stopped if that for which we are
fighting in this war is to mean
' \ anything to our country.
"We are in a desperate con-
flict, the most vital that has ever
9 confronted our nation. We were

"I fully realize the handicaps
I will have in this campaign. I
do not have access to the free
use of the United States mails.
Neither can I demand the serv-
ices of state-owned automobiles,
tires and gas in order to assist
my campaign. I know something
about how active and how ener-
getic are the thousands and thou-
sands of federal and state payroll
paptakers during campaign time.
"But I have defeated political
machines before and I am con-
fident that I can do it again. If
nominated and elected I pledge
to the people of Michigan serv-
ices in the United States senate
of which I know they will whole-
heartedly approve."

Love is the hardest lesson in
Christianity; but, for that reason,
it should be most our care to
learn it.—William Penn.
Radio -active elements de-
veloped in the University of Cal-
ifornia at Berkley are being us-
ed in experimental treatment of
a giant -celled sarcoma on the
leg of a patient. Substances
made radio -active by bom-
bardment with "deutrons," or
"atomic bullets," are introduc-
ed into the blood stream. Here
they focus on iinfected tissues
with much the same effect of
X-rays, but, because their ef-
fectiveness is, limited to a short
time, without the possible dan-
gers.
Turbines are too costly to be treated like this — and too
hard to replace. So the small "turning gear" does an impor-
tant job. It keeps the large shaft rotating slowly and con-
tinuously during shut -down periods, and prevents warping
or bowing. It also permits bringing the turbine up to speed
again in half the time formerly required. And because clear-
ances can be set to a few thousandths of an inch, steam is
used at a slightly increased efficiency. —thereby saving a
small part of ,the coal required to produce electricity. The

!Buckle down—to work
for Uncle Sam"
EFORE washing a garment,
remove breakable buttons and
buckles. Pearl buttons or, jew-
eled buckles haven't the stamina
to face washing machines or hard
scrubbing. Broken or missing
buttons can ruin a costume, or,
if unmatchable, necessitate the
purchase of a new set.
Then put the money saved into
U. S. SAVINGS STAMPS—to help
button up Hitler! Every pay
check should be budgeted to in-

It has been our aim in the distribution of ice in the Northville area
to give the best service possible at all time. Delivering at almost
any hour—day or night, Sunday or Holidays—has been .a policy
for years. Now, due to wartime restrictions, to comply with Gov-
ernment Order O.D.T. No. 6, certain of our former services must,
of necessity, be curtailed. Conservation of tires, gasoline, oil, can-
vas and trucks requires such a move.
Effective next Saturday, May 16th, the following regulations will
be put into effect:
1: All orders for ICE must be placed by 3 p.m. for delivery the
same day.
2—No call-back deliveries can be made. In other words, your ice
service man can make only one delivery daily.
3—No deliveries can be made to domestic customers on Sundays.
4—Canvas is only available on Priority Rating A -1-J, which is for
direct army and Navy use. Consequently, canvas ice bags are no
longer replaceable. Therefore, canvas or rubber ice bags cannot
be left with the customer. Customers should make arrangement
for suitable containers for their ice.
Our ice plant will be open as usual for pick-up service.
The co-operation of all ice customers will retain the usual good
service in delivering a plentiful supply of ice for all.
We do want to acknowledge, with thanks, our appreciation of
your valued patronage.
