and $530,250 is in personal prop-
erty, as compared with $6,653,-
975 for real property and '$547,
290 in personal for 1941;
The increase in total valuations
in the township is not attributed
to any increase in assessment
rates on existing homes, it is
explained. The increase, is - di-
reedy due to the number of new
homes, and `building additions
consiructed during the past year.
There -were 559 -new homes built
in Livonia during 1942 as com-
pared with 513 new residences
during the previous .year.
It is expected that the increase
in valuations will take care. of
any; added 'expenses and the` tax
rate will probably remain .the
same as last year, $1.60per
thousand according to the sup-
ervisor. The tax rate will not be
definitely determined until the
meeting of the Wayne' county
allocation board in July. Mem-
bers -of the township board of

Defense Services
Seek Improvements
For Next Blackout
Civilian defense directors of
Livonia -township are making
-preparations for improvements
and -expansion of the organiza-
tion following .Wednesday night's
third practice blackout test. Civ-
ilian defense volunteer units
functioned very smoothly and
there wag :better coverage than
during the two previous tests,
according to Harry Simpson,
chief ;air raid warden for the
.township.
There were two blackout vio-
.-lations reported by air wardens
throughout the entire area.
Lights were left on in one case
where the residents were away
from home, and a bonfire of waste
collections on Plymouth road
near the Ann Arbor cut-off gave
a glow of light which could be
seen at some distance. Citizens
are particularly warned not to
leave lights on in the house if
they plan to be away during a
blackout test, says Chief Simp-
son.
There were two innovations in
Wednesday night's test. The
nurses of the emergency medical
corps were assigned to a practice
run and members of the canteen
corps assisted by the motor corps
prepared and served a midnight
lunch for the civilian volunteers

Takes Aerial Photos In
Army Flying Fortress
Private Harold Davis, 21 -year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
G. Davis of Orangelawn avenue
in Stark district, arrived home
last Friday for a 15 -day furlough.
He is stationed at Bangor, Maine
as an aerial photographer for the
Army Air Force.
"Each bomber includes a crew
of nine men with a pilot, co-pilot,
,bombadier, navigator, radio man,
rear gunner, first engineer, sec-
ond engineer and photographer,"
explains Pvt. Davis. "We aver-
age three times a week in the air
and from these \flying fortresses
we take photos for mapping pur-
poses and infra -red films to pen-
etrate camouflage efforts below.
We photograph each bomb as it
is released from the -plane and
also each explosion.
The aerial photographer is
seated in the lower gun turret of
the flying fortress where the
camera ` and machine guns are
stationed, Private Davis explains.
The camera shutter operates at a
speed of 150th of a second and

as practice for a "mass feeding"
emergency. Twenty nurses re-
ported in five cars at the "scene
of an incident" near the Kelsey -
Hayes plant on Eckies road.
C. L. Bowdlear, associate co-
ordinator of defense, announced
this week a plan to equip 16
auxiliary police cars with sup-
plementary sirens to carry the
blackout warning to residents in
the outlying sections where the
main warning siren cannot be
heard. This would provide one
car to each square mile and five-
minute coverage of all sections
at the beginning of the blackout
period, according to Mr. Bowd-
lear.
It is also planned to establish
auxiliary fire posts in ten dis-
tricts of the township with six
men assigned to each post with
auxiliary equipment in each sec-
tor. Citizens are advised that a
warning signal for a blackout or
air raid is a fluctuating siren,
and the ail -clear signal is given
by a sustained blast of the siren.
The Rosedale fire siren will not
be sounded during the night in
the future to avoid confusion.
A second air warden training
program will be started after
July 4. Volunteers will be re-
cruited at the township's defense
celebration on the Fourth. The
organization needs more women
volunteers for day -time. air war-
den duty in the event of daylight
raids and for relief duty for 24-
hour service.

Disaster Units
(Continued from page 1)
eph Livernois and Bernard Mc-
Grath opened the Red Cross office
from which the motor corps
members were assigned to work.
Barbara Middlewood trans-
ported canteen food and other
members of the motor corps
transported canteen workers and
registrars from their assigned
stations to the Livonia Center
school where a majority of the
civilian defense volunteers acted
as "refugees."
The registration of 115 persons
was handled by six registrars in
less than one and a half hours
including time out to set up work
tables and find rooms suitable
for the purpose. The "refugees"
had vivid imaginations and re-
quests for aid ran the gamut
from clothing to feed for live-
stock. Miss Susan Thurman,
clothing chairman, checked the
completed file to ascertain the
number and kind of garments
needed in the event of a real
disaster emergency. The canteen
corps supplied food to the "vic-
tims."
While it is true that there may
never be a need for these vol-
unteers or for opening any .school
other than the Stark headquar-
ters, Chairman Don Ryder was
pleased to know that every area
is well represented with willing
and dependable workers ready to
do their part in any emergency.
The chairman will inform mem-
bers of the disaster relief units
of any changes in routine.

vivors were picked up by a de-
stroyer at sea. The .youth stated
that all of the ship's crew sur-
vived the "incident."

from the Detroit Campfire Coun-
cil in recognition of her heroism
in the rescue of her four, ,year-

Marilyn awoke her little broth-
er after lightning set their house
afire on Westmore avenue in
Coventry Gardens and pushed
him through a window to safety.
The children were alone in the
house when the fire started; their
parents were attending a Parent-
Teacher meeting at the Livonia
school that evening. The Schu-
macher home was completely
destroyed in the blaze.
The young heroine who is a
member of the Bluebird unit will
spend two weeks at Camp Wa-

Two other girls of the Livonia
Campfire group are spending a
week at Camp Wathana. They
are Sylvia McQuestion and Rose

day also and plan to enroll in a

®ITE cost that has really tobogganed...
TODAY!
Because of half -a -dozen rate reductions since 1921 and
greatly increased use, the average price per kilowatthour
paid by our residence customers for electricity has come
steadily downward. It is 46 per cent less today than in
1921—nearly halved.
The record above shows how the average cost has dropped
in the last 20 years—from 6.13c per kilowatthour in 1921
to 3.25c per kilowatthour in 1941. In July of last year—
a year when most other living costs were rising—residence
electric rates were again reduced, in keeping with our
policy of cutting rates voluntarily whenever conditions
permit. As a result, the dollar you spend for electricity
buys more today than ever befoxe. It is one of your big-
gest dollar's worth of comfort and convenience in the
family budget.
Your electric dollar buys the services of dozens of house-
hold servants: refrigeration, washing, ironing, lighting,
vacuum cleaning, radio, toaster, percolator, food mixer,
clocks, electric shaver. In many homes it also provides
electric cooking, dishwashing, furnace fan or oil burner,
attic fan, kitchen fan, heating pad, sewing machine, tea-
kettle, waffle iron, sunlamp, bathroom heater, etc.—as
many as fifty electric servants. The list is not complete:
Tomorrow's uses of electricity will add many more, as yet
unknown. Our job is to help you enjoy these to the fullest
at the lowest possible cost. The Detroit Edison Company.

In Three -Car Collision
Drivers escaped injury when
two cars were badly damaged in
a three -car collision at the inter-
section of Schoolcraft and Farm-
ington roads Saturday afternoon.
A car driven by Mrs. Vivian E.
Clark of Lansing turned off of
Schoolcraft and ran the red light
on Farmington road, according to
state police. A car driven by
Vinton F. McDonald of Detroit,
going west on Schoolcraft, crash-
ed into the side of Mrs. Clark's car
which turned around completely
and crashed into the front of a
third car driven by Emery A.
Sickles of Detroit, parked at the
intersection waiting for the light
to change. State police estimated
damage to the Clark and Mc-
Donald cars at $150 each.
Every penny is a patriotic
penny if it hastens the privileges

meets its quota this month, peace .
may be a month closer.
