Lidgard Brothers formerly McKinney & Schaffer Women Regisfer For War Industry (Continued from page 1) the United States Employment service, in conjunction with the War Production board and the War Manpower commission, is distributing registration cards. This canvass is to be completed by next Friday, August 21. Women can and must be used in almost every kind of work found in the factories which are turning out tanks and bombers and other implements of war. Most of them will be women with no previous factory experience— women who today are housewives and homemakers. Lack of train- ing or experience is no serious barrier to obtaining war work. Thousands of women in the De- troit industrial area are now be- ing trained in schools and fac- tories. Plans are being made for nursery schools and other facil- ities for the care of children out- side the home so that women can share in the battle of production. The U.S. government urges every woman over .18 years of age who is able to work to fill out the registration card whether or not she is now employed. _ _ Livonia To File Postal Petitions (Continued from page 1) The petitions have been circulat- ed for the past two months in an effort to obtain improved postal service in the township which is now served by several neighbor- ing communities, including Farm- ington, Garden City, Redford, Wayne, Detroit, Plymouth and Northville. It is believed that a central township sub -station will remedy delay in delivery of mail and facilitate sorting of mail to all sections of Livonia.

The company is prepared to complete the task of changing over the service to the many thousands of customers with all speed possible and with continu- ous service. It should be remem- bered, however, .that it is im- possible to change to natural gas, throughout an entire area without some inconvenience, but it is hoped to keep it at a minimum. Your patience and cooperation will be greatly appreciated. The customers' interests and those of the Gas Company are mutual. Temporarily, the natural gas delivered in this area will be 100 percent Michigan natural gas, from fields in the central and northern portions of the lower peninsula. Within a few weeks, it will be chiefly gas from the Texas Panhandle. A pipeline from the Southwest, now under construction, soon will be joined with a pipeline from the north, and thereafter the ratio will be approximately 70 per cent of Texas gas to 30 percent of Mich- igan gas. Wayne, Northville and Farm- ington and environs of all cities also will be "changed over" to natural' gas next week. Later on the schedule are Clarkston, Ox- ford, Orion, Pontiac, Rochester, Birmingham, Centerline, East Detroit, Roseville, Utica, Mt. Clemens, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Hazel Park, St. Clair Shores and other communities in the Oak- - land -Macomb -Wayne area. To- ward the end of the year, Jack- son, Kalamazoo and neighboring communities are to be "changed over."- Rates for natural gas involve a saving of about 20 to 21 .per cent for the average customer, "The Friendliest Atmosphere in Northwest Defroif" Lahser Road at Grand River REDFORD OLD TIMER TAVERN LIQUOR - BEER - WINE Modern and Old -Time Dancing .
