The Cooper Civic club will
sponsor a dance at the school on
Friday evening, June 12 at 9
o'clock. All residents of the com-
munity are cordially invited to
attend a party.
Genial Bill Trepagnier of Rose-
dale Gardens, reports a complete
reversal of form in his garden
this year. After nursing along a
beautiful horse radish plant the
world came to an end for him
when it sprouted a beautiful big
Dahlia blossom. We are sure he
would welcome a real horse
radish plant if anyone should
happen to have a spare.
Everybody likes fried chicken
and everybody has a special way
of preparing it but our all-out
vote goes to Mrs. Ralph Opland
who has a style all of her own
and fries chicken better than
any Southern mammy ever did.
Good cooks note , we tried
hers and if .you think yours is
better just let us know and we'll
be glad to try yours, too.
Edward Gillies, 15510 Farm-
ington road, suffered two broken
elbows when his horse slipped on
the wet pavement and the rider
fell from his mount Saturday
evening. The accident occurred
near Farmington and Five Mile
roads in Coventry Gardens. Mr.
Gillies, a Ford Motor company
employe of the. Rouge plant, was
taken to Mt. Carmel hospital.

Rosedale School
Awards Diplomas
Supt. George A. Smith
Delivers Address
"Looking Ahead" was the sub-
ject of the commencement ad-
dress by George A. Smith, super-
intendent of Plymouth public
schools, at the Rosedale Gardens
graduation exercises Friday eve-
ning. The speaker discussed the
"changed but improved economic
system at the close of the war"
and charged the graduates to
prepare to fit the niche they are
intended to fill and not sell out
their health or ability for things
that are temporary. He empha-
sized the importance of achieve-
ment rather than seeking the
"spotlight."
Diplomsas were presented to
2,8 graduates by William Trepag-
nier, president of the board of
education. Following the process-
ional by Miss Elizabeth Ulp, the
invocation was delivered by the
Rev. John B. Forsyth. James
Baker gave the valedictory and
Marion Louise Price presented
the salutatory.
Members of the Rosedale
school band presented several
musical selections. Jack Kinner
sang "Hymn of the U.S. Mar-
ines"; Gerald Harder played a
trumpet solo, `.`Sweet Mystery of
Life"; . Harvey Kelly played
"Anchors Aweigh" on the clar-
inet; Nadine Smale gave a saxo-
phone solo, "The World Is Wait-
ing for the Sunrise"; and Harry
Curtner played "Missouri Waltz"
on the alto sax. Following Sup-
erintendent Smith's address and
the presentation of diplomas,
Garrit Kramer, superintendent
of the Rosedale school, gave the
farewell message.
The graduates are as follows:
James Baker, Bill Bentley, Jos-
eph Bojanzyk, Virginia Burger,
James Burton, Donna Chapman,
Ila Mae Culbertson, Harry Curt-
ner, Joanne Delahunte, Barbara

o Federal Aid
Available For
School Buildings
Cooper -School Board
Seeks Solution To
Crowded Condition
No federal aid will be forth-
coming for the construction of a
new school building or addition
to the Cooper district school, it
was announced at a meeting of
the Cooper Civic club Wednes-
day evening. According to a cen-
sus conducted by Mrs. Earl J.
Burt during the past two weeks,
the present school population
of Cooper district numbers 475
children and it is expected that
an additional 50 new pupils will
enroll in September. School en-
rollment was at maximum ca-
pacity during the past school
,year.
"The local office of the Federal
Works Agency has received an
order to the effect that no further
aid will be given for construction
of school buildings unless a
school shows an overload of 100
per cent," declared Charles E.
Brake, deputy superintendent of
Wayne county schools, in a let-
ter to the Cooper school board
last week.
"In other words," the letter
continues, "your district will re-
ceive no help until you have at
least twice as many children as
,you have, seating space. If you
show a 100 perce;� overload, be
sure to acquaint me of that fact
and I shall make it known to the
Federal authorities," said Mr.
Brake.
"We recommend the following
as possible solutions of your
overcrowding: (1) Rent or lease
churches, lodges or halls; (2)
Bond the district and build frame
structures; (3) Have two half-day
sessions; (4) Have no beginners
during the school .year and run
school for them next summer;
(5) Run ten instead of nine
months if on half-day sessions.
"We are sending wires of pro-
test to senators, congressmen
and other officials. However, we
think it will be to no avail. It
is unfortunate that the federal
government finds it necessary to
take the stand it has but that
just means that we all have to
put our shoulders to the wheel
and try to work out a solution
locally," commented Deputy
Brake.

Give Demonstration
Of Incendiary Bombs
More than 500 citizens of Li-
vonia township attended the
mass air warden rally at St.
Michael's hall in Rosedale Gar-
dens last Monday evening under
the auspices of the local civilian
defense organization.
Lester Jull, area warden in De-
troit, outlined the duties of air
raid ,wardens and the civilian
population in the principal ad-
dress of the evening program.
The speaker declared that the
civilian defense effort in Livonia
township was very well organ-
ized but warned of the necessity
to continue work unceasingly.
Two civilian defense movies
were displayed. "The Warning"
depicted actual experiences of
bombing attacks in England, and
the second film, "The Air Raid
Warden" portrayed the working
duties of defenders on the home
front.
Loren Farrell, inspector of the
Fire Prevention bureau of the
Detroit fire department, gave a
lecture and demonstration on the
grounc:s outside the meeting hall
on incendiary bombs. The actual

Township Board
Studies Draft
Of Building Code
T. Glenn Phillips
Submits Proposed
Livonia Ordinance
A draft of a proposed building
code ordinance for Livonia was
submitted to the township board
by T. Glenn Phillips, planning
consultant, at its meeting last
Monday evening. The proposal
will probably be given its first
reading at the next regular board
meeting June 15. The building
code is a corollary but entirely
independent of the zoning ordi-
nance recently adopted by the
township.
The building code is a propos-
ed ordinance to regulate all
matters pertaining to the con-
struction, alteration and mainte-
nance of all buildings and
structures, including signs,
fences, walls, dikes, tents, towers,
tanks, bins and similar objects,
defining the duties of the De-
partment of Buildings and pro-
viding penalty for violations.
The ordinance will be enforced
by a Department of Buildings,
established under the authority
of the township board, consisting
of a building inspector and as-
sistants, according to the prelim-
inary draft. The building inspec-
tor shall be appointed by the
township board, and employes of
the department may be appoint -

Pledge Canvass To
Continue Next Week
The canvass of Livonia town-
ship for signers of Uncle Sam's
war bond pledges was started
last week and the early reports
of the drive indicate the response
of all citizens is gratifying, ac-
cording to Harry Wolfe, chair-
man of the campaign.
The campaign has just been
started and will continue this
week and next until every home
in the township is contacted. It
is explained that a signed pledge
to buy war bonds regularly with-
in . the limits of one's financial
ability is not compulsory in the
event of unforseen circum-
stances. The purpose of the
pledge drive is merely to inform
the government of the amount
of investments to be expected
voluntarily on the part of the
citizens and a- pledge is not an
additional promise to buy but
merely a way to show the gov-
ernment what you are now do-
ing.
The following residents of
Rosedale Gardens volunteered to
work as "Minute Men and Wo-
men" in the canvass of that sub-
division, according to Mrs. Ern-
est Bentley, Rosedale chairman:

Conditions imposed by war-

cliffe, general traffic manager of
the company declared today.
In co-operation with the Office
of Defense Transportation, Mr.
Radcliffe said that a speed limit
of 40 miles an hour would be
in effect and it will be necessary
to curtail service where there
is the least demand for it to re-
lease buses for heavily traveled
lines since additional buses can-
not be purchased.
He added that second sections
of regular schedules will not be
operated unless there is a suffic-
ient number of passengers to
justify it, and charter coaches
are available only for movements
authorized by the war depart-
ment. Unless on business or in
an emergency people are asked
to travel on Tu.-sdays, Wednes-
days and Thursdays.
Mr.. Radcliffe also expressed
the hope that passengers will re-
member that wartime travel •can-
not be "travel as usual," and that
they would make allowances if
inconvenienced, crowded or de-
layed.

Next Draft Call
Will Be June 15
Board Reclassifies
Men In Class 3-A
The next draft call for local
board No. 61 in Plymouth will
be June 15 and the quota is one
of the largest in this district. As
draft quotas continue to increase
and Congress is considering the
enactment of an allowance and
allotment law for men with de-
pendents, many Class 3-A regis-
trants in this area have indicat-
ed interest in the Volunteer Offi-
cer candidate program.
Class 3-A registrants may ap-
ply at the local board office and
submit signed waivers from de-
pendents for approval as officer
candidates. Following approval,
the volunteers will be inducted
with the regular draftees and
given a preliminary training
course before becoming eligible
to continue training for officers'
ranks. If rejected after his pre-
liminary training period, an offi-
cer candidate may return to his
Class 3-A classification.
The local draft board is now
re-classifying registrants deferred
for dependency dividing Class 3-
A men into two classes. Men
with dependents who are not en-
gaged in an activity either es-
sential to the war production pro-
gram or essential to -the support
of the war effort` shall be placed
in Class 3-A, while men with
dependents who are engaged in
an activity either essential to the
war production program or es-
sential to the support of the war

Congress is now considering
the enactment of an allowance
and allotment law that will per-
mit the induction of many men
with dependents without causing
undue hardship. Such legislation
would permit the induction of
many men now deferred because
of their dependents who are not
engaged in essential war activ-
ities.
According to the present pro-
posal, $22 will be alloted from
each soldier's pay for dependents
and the government will allow
$28 for a wife or single depend-
ent, $40 for a wife and one child
and $10 for each additional child.
According to that scale, a family
with four dependents would re-
ceive a maximum of $92 a month.
Speeding the mobilization of
workers for expanding war in-
dustries in cooperation with the
War Manpower Commission, the
local board will mail approx-
imately 4,100 occupational ques-
tionnaires next week to the first
group of registrants of October,
1940. About 2,600 questionnaires
have been returned to the local
board from February 16, 1942

Township Board
(Continued from page 1)
ed by the inspector with the con-
sent of the board. All compen-
sations shall be determined by
the board.
The ordinance proposes that it
shall be the duty of the depart-
ment to inspect, and when neces-
sary to condemn all dangerous
structures, to inspect all build-
ings during the course of con-
struction, alteration, repair or re-
moval, to inspect all places of
public assembly at least once a
,year and make other inspections
necessary for .public safety, to
receive and examine all plans,
specifications and applications for
building permits, to issue per-
mits, collect fees payable to the
township treasurer and to keep
records of building activity.
According to this proposal,
prospective builders must file
plans and specifications with the
department of buildings and pay
fees for inspection during con-
struction before actual building
may be started.
It is also proposed that there
shall be a board of appeals con-
sisting of five members to be ap-
pointed by the township board.
In case of dissatisfaction with
any decision of the building in-
spector, an appeal may be made
to the board of appeals.
The ordinance draft defines
various types and classes of
buildings to conform with the
provisions of the new zoning or-
dinance, establishes certain build-
ing requirements and rules con-
cerning lot lines and location of
buildings. Minimum sizes and
heights of rooms in dwellings and
provisions for lighting, ventila-
tion and sanitary facilities shall
conform to the requirements of
the state housing' law, according
to the proposed draft now under
consideration..
It is pointed out that the -build-
ing _ code" proposal will offer pro-
tection of property values for ex-
isting and future taxpayers, aid
in the purposes of the zoning or-
dinanef--and provide permanent
records of building activity in
Livonia township `wherene ..
building has been thriving dur-
ing recent .years.

forester. Suggestions include
the native white, red or jack
pine for south or west slopes of
eroded hillsides or light sandy
soils. Norway and white spruce
can be planted for Christmas
trees on north or east slopes of
hills or in odd corners of fields.
Locust and white cedar are rec-
ommended for fence post wood.
Transplanted evergreens are sug-
gested for windbreaks. Sandy
loam or heavier soils can take
broad leaved trees of green ash,
American elm or black cherry or

Girl Loses Sight
Of Eye In Tragedy
Hoodlums Throw
Beer Bottle In Car
Tragedy marred the holiday
week -end for Miss Wanda Jobe,
16 -year-old, of Pickford avenue
in Livonia township, when a
group of young drunken hood-
lums tossed a beer bottle into the
car in which the girl was riding.
Flying pieces of glass caused the
loss of sight in the girl's left
eye. The accident occurred on
Edward Hines drive near the
Plymouth road viaduct about 1:30
Sunday morning.
Companions in the car were
Albert Ringle, 18, of Stark -
weather avenue in Plymouth,
who received a deep gash in his
wrist; Carlton Hardesty, 18, of
Salem, driver of the car; and
Patricia Graham, 16, of North-
ville.
Five cars were parked under
the Plymouth road viaduct in the
parkway during the Saturday
night rainstorm, according to
young Ringle, and' a group of
about 20 young men and women
were gathered around the cars.
As Hardesty's car passed the
group, several beer bottles were
thrown and one struck the front
door of the car, a sport con-
vertible with the top down. The
glass splinters struck Miss Jobe
and Ringle, cutting a gash in the
girl's left eye and cheek and
Ringle's wrist. Both were given
emergency treatment at t h e
Plymouth hospital and the girl
was later taken to University
hospital in Ann Arbor. Following

"Surge Recorder" helps improve your
ELECTRIC SERVICE
Because lightning is a frequent cause of trouble on electric
transmission lines, the more we know about lightning the
better we can develop safeguards against it ... and the
fewer times lightning will damage the lines and equipment
that serve you.
Lightning "surges" travel along transmission lines like a
wave in water. The wave rolls along until it strikes a sharp
Cliff, then dashes high and breaks over it. Similarly, a
lightning surge moves along a line until it hits an obstruc-
tion —a transformer, generator, terminal substation or
whatnot—and may then "flash over" the object that
blocks its path. Lightning surges have entered substations
and powerhouses, blown up switches, starting disastrous
fires and destroying equipment. So it is important that
we know as much as possible about the whims of lightning.
The small black box shown above houses a "Surge
Recorder" used to measure the currents that flow in a
lightning stroke. It is installed on some of the 24,000 -volt
lines of The Detroit Edison Company. Simply described,
it works as follows: A piece of waxed paper is inserted
in a gap between two copper blocks. A lightning "surge"
jumps the gap, puncturing the paper and leaving a small
hole. By measuring the size of the hole, the size of the
lightning current may be determined, and valuable data
collected on the nature of these destructive surges that
wreak havoc on our lines.
The Surge Recorder is one of many developments that are
"all in a day's work"— improvements designed to bring
you better electric service at lower cost. The two go hand-
in-hand. During the last twenty years, the average price
per kilowa►thour paid by our residence customers for elec-
tricity has dropped 46 per cent. The Detroit Edison Company.

Meat is a richer -source of more
dietary essentials than any other
food. - -
-o
Meat ranks high in iron, which
builds .rich red blood and guards
against nutritional anemia.

Your county has a war bond
quota to meet this month. Is your
own household budget appor-
tioned so that you will put 10
percent into .war bonds?
Is your pocketbook volunteer-
ing as a soldier behind the lines?
Help your county meet its Bond
quota. Ten percent of your fam-
ily's income should be invested
for Victory.
0
Your state has a War Bond
quota. Remember that every
time you open your pocketbook
or write a check put 10 percent
of your family's income into War
Bonds and Stamps.

Besides being a rich source
of the necessary diet factors,
meat possesses two factors neces-
sary in planning the low-cost
diet—palatability and satiety
value. It "sticks to the ribs."
0
Meat is a rich source of phos-
phorus, which unites with cal-
cium in the building of strong
bones and healthy teeth. It also
is necessary for cell building and
for certain body processes.
o
Don't waste anything, for that
means wasted money. Wasted
money is wasted lives in war-
time. Every dollar you can save
should go toward War Bonds to
help your state meet its quota.
Meat supplies in a concentrat-
ed form, the highest quality of
protein, the element which ranks
first as a body-builder. It is a
"complete" protein containing
all of the necessary -amino
acids.
0
Money alone can't buy Victory.
But it can buy the needed tanks
and planes for our fighting men.
Contribute at least 10 per cent
of your household budget as your
share for your county's War
Bond quota.

connections with Greyhound.
The network will solve the
transportation .problem for Wil-

Livonia area and other com-
munities of southeastern Mich-

routes were laid out by officials
of the private operators and the
D. S. R. cooperating with Thom-

fense Transportation.
The route which will serve the
Livonia area beginning Satur-

thence via Grand River to Farm-
ington . The bus will continue
over Farmington road and Seven

Plymouth. From Plymouth, the
bus will go over Main street to
Joy road to Canton Center to
Michigan avenue and the Willow

Other bus lines which connect
with the Greyhound service are
the Plymouth road bus operated
by the Dearborn Coach com-

Since many smaller plants en-
gaged in war production work

Every state has a new I.Q.—
an "independence quota"—for
sale of War Bonds. Are you in-
vesting 10 percent of your in-
come in future security for your
family's independence?

enrollment next fall, the board
has decided not to have kinder-
garten or beginners' classes next
fall. Classes for all children who
will reach the age of six years on
or before November 15 will be-
gin for a period of eight weeks
on June 22. These beginners
will then be eligible to enter the
first grade in the fall.
The Cooper school board will
study the proposed alternate sol-
utions to the problem of over-
crowded school rooms and mem-
bers of the Cooper Civic club are
urged to study the proposed sug-
gestions in order to make recom-
mendations to the school officials
at the next meeting of the civic
club on Wednesday, July 1.
Haphazard spending on food
and clothing is an insult to the
men in khaki and blue. Your
dollars, invested .in War Bonds,
will move tanks and float ships.
Your home is a "front line" on
the war front and the produc-
tion front. Every dollar you save
on your household budget, in-
vested in War Bonds, is a Victory
dollar added to your county's
quota.
