Father Enlists in Navy Service
Miss Jeanne Hartenstein, 22 -
year -old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Arno Hartenstein of Mar-
guerita avenue in Clarenceville,
was sworn in last Friday, Aug-
ust 28 as a -private in the Wo-
men's Auxiliary Army Corps.
Accepted for training at Fort Des
Moines, Iowa in the WAAC serv-
ice, Jeanne became the third
member of her family in the
armed services.
Her father, Arno Hartenstein,
48 a veteran of World War I who
served as a gunner captain in
the U. S. Navy, enlisted last
week also for training and duty
as a chief machinist's mate in the
Navy forces. Father and daugh-
ter passed their physical and
mental examinations for serv-
ice on the same day. A third
member of the family, Robert
Hartenstein, 20 -year-old, has
served in the U. S. Navy since
April, 1942 and is now stationed
at New London, Conn.

Livonia Joins
Salvage Drive
Register for Defense
Service Sept. 10 - 12
Livonia township is mobilizing
to "get in the scrap" by joining
the nation-wide participation in
the Salvage for Victory program.
A board of registration will be
established at the township hall
next Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, from 10 a. in. to 7 p. m. to
enroll volunteers in the protective
and service branches of civilian
defense.
Township citizens are urged to
volunteer their aid as air raid
wardens, auxiliary fire and police
officers, medical corps and other
defense branches, and also for
salvage, nutrition, public heath,
day care for children, consumers'
information and recreation activi-
ties of defense.
Everyone may help on the
home front by saving tin cans
and other scrap materials for the
salvage drive. This is something
that everyone can do without de-
voting time to attending training
classes. The township will make a
house-to-house collection of tin
cans in all districts on Saturday,
October 3, and everyone is asked
to start saving tin cans now. The
U. S. Office of Civilian Defense
has -issued a 48 -page booklet,
"What Can I Do," and copies of
the booklet are available at the
township hall.
For the benefit of those who
have not started to save tin cans
but wish to help in the salvage
drive, the following suggestions
are offered by the War Produc-
tion Board: Cans are to be opened
completely, remove both the top
and bottom covers; wash thor-
oughly as foreign matter pollutes
the detinning agent; remove
paper labels from cans; flatten
cans by stepping on them, but
don't hammer the sides together;
food cans and tobacco containers
are excellent for salvage but
don't contribute paint, oil, var-
nish or conical top beer cans. Not
only the tin is reclaimed from
the cans, but also steel vitally
needed for war production. To
meet America's increasingly crit-
ical shortage of raw materials,
every man, woman and child in
the community is expected to
help collect scrap metals, rubber,
hemp, waste cooking fats and

Mr. Hartenstein is to begin his
30 -days' training October 1 at
the Packard Motor company
plant in Detroit. He is employed
as a tool maker at the Davis

"home front" while her family
is in service. She is captain of
the Clarenceville district of the
Red Cross Canteen division and

DO RIGHT BY YOUR
... it must "keep things cool"
until �1Cf®f'yl
YOUR REFRIGERATOR will last longer if you take
reasonable care of it, and that's doubly important
today when no more refrigerators are being made.
Remember that the one you now have must keep cool
for the duration. Treat it accordingly!
'(1) Defrost regularly according to manufacturer's
instructions, and empty drip water immediately. Heavy
frost on the coils makes your refrigerator work over-
time, and increases operating cost. Never use a knife
or sharp tool for defrosting.
(2) After defrosting, wash the entire interior of refrig-
erator (coils, shelves, trays, etc.). Use lukewarm water
and mild soap, followed by fresh water with a little
baking soda. This banishes ice -box odor and leaves
your refrigerator clean and fresh.
`(3) Wipe up fruit and vegetable juices as soon as they
are spilled. (They harm the finish.) Wash the outside
surface of your refrigerator with warm water and, soap,
and dry with a soft cloth.
(4) Don't overcrowd your refrigerator. Place left -overs
in small containers to save space. Always let hot foods
cool before placing in refrigerator.
;(5) Unless the motor of your refrigerator is hermeti-
cally sealed, have it oiled and inspected regularly.
;(6) Be sure there is adequate air circulation all around
your refrigerator. Move it an inch or two out from the
wall if necessary. The Detroit Edison Company:

Phone Company
Aids en. In Army
Adds "Telecoach" To
Fort Custer Service
Something new has been added
by the Michigan Bell Telephone
Company to make its service more
pleasing and convenient to the
men of Fort Custer.
It's a mobile public telephone
unit called the "Telecoach", lo-
cated in the recruit reception cen-
ter area: Equipped with three
telephone booths, the Telecoach
remains open from 4 p.m. to 10
p.m., Mondays through Satur-
days, and from 1 to 8 p.m., Sun-
days. Three operators from the
Telephone Company's office at
Battle Creek serve as attend-
ants.
The attendants perform a var-
iety of duties helpful to soldiers
placing calls. They make it un-
necessary for him to fumble for
the correct charges at the tele-
phone by providing him with
change. They also supply infor-
mation on long distance rates to
various points. Of even more im-
portance, they fix it so Johnny
Doughboy can get his call put
through with a minimum of
waiting in line when there is a
rush for long distance service.
Johnny gives the attendant the
number of the distant telephone
he is calling. If the call goes
through immediately, Johnny is
assigned to a booth and starts
talking. If, however, the line is
busy or there is no answer, the
attendant sends him on his way,
notifying him later when the call
is put through.
The Telecoach is a temporary
arrangement, designed to supple-
ment the public telephone ser-
vice from about 100 telephones
scattered about the Fort. Plans
are under way for the erection of
a special building at the same
location to house a battery of ten
telephone booths.
The company also has appointed
a full-time manager at the Fort—
John F. Edwards, formerly with
its Grand Rapids office. A sur-
vey is being made by the company
to determine what steps will be
taken to render the service more
pleasing and convenient to sold-
iers and sailors at other military
and nnaval establishments in its
territory.

An Efficient Mole Trap
To catch moles, find a run that
is used regularly. With a post hole
digger dig a hole the size of a gallon,
bucket through the run, so that when
the bucket is placed in the hole the
top of the bucket will be just below
the tunnel. Plug each end of the
tunnel with loose dirt. When the
mole presses dirt out he will fall into
the bucket and cannot climb out.
Then place a board over the hole,
flat with the surface.

Paint to Protect: Cement
Although decoration is generally
the motivating reason for painting a
house, the prevention of moisture
absorption by porous surfaces such
as brick, stucco and other cement
mix materials is equally important.
Frequent saturation is conducive "to
surface dusting and unsightly stains.
Upon freezing the moisture expan-
sion may result in serious crum-
bling. Correctly formulated paint
will seal the surface and thus elimi-
nate the cause for disintegration and
staining.

Chapel for its local headquarters
during the week and a great deal
of water is needed as it is desired
to establish a central location for
use of the Red Cross blood bank.
Much credit is given the Red
Cross workers for their coopera-
tion. With the assistance of *he
men in the community, the work
of installing the water has
started.

Howell Proposes
Sale- Tax Chante
Seeks State Senate
Seat in 18th District
John T. Howell, Republican
candidate for State Senator from
the .eighteenth district;: proposes
to have the state -sales tax law
amended so that the tax will be
.collected at the sourceof supply
instead of by- different retailers
and -to discontinue the sales tax
on food.
Mr. `Howell, with eight years'
experience with the state welfare
department, probably the largest
spending revenue department in
the state government, and four
years' experience in the sales tax
department, the largest revenue
collecting department in the
state, declares that the proposed
amendment to the sales tax law
would net about five million dol-
lars more a year to the state than
they now realize. This system of
collecting at the source would
eliminate chiseling and faulty
bookkeeping that now exist and
assure the state of collecting the
full amount of sales tax due
them, declares the senate candi-
date. It would also pave the way
to discontinuing the sales tax on
food which is about 20 per cent
higher than it has been in years,
he states. To discontinue the tax
on food would be a savings for
every family in the state.
"The sales tax as a whole is
a very equitable and fair tax but
the residents of Michigan should
not have to pay to eat .)articular-
ly at this stime. There is no tax
on food in 20 of- the 35 states
that now have sales tax laws,"
declares Mr. Howell, a resident
of Livonia 'township, who is a
former director of the old -age
pension bureau and a member of
the American Legion.

Plymouth Soldier Takes
Part In London Dance
Private Ernest Basel, local
youth who was inducted into the
Army on April 18, 1941, was one
of a score of Yanks who recently
held a jitterbug session on a park
walk in London after midnight.
The report of the swing class in
the moonlight shadows of Buck-
ingham Palace was dispatched by
the New York Times Foreign
Service this week.
On the lawn in Green Park, a
portable phonograph furnished
swing music for the Yank jitter-
bugs and their British girls.
"The British girls sure liked our
dancing," one of the Yanks told
a reporter. Young Basel, who
lived at 12930 Mercedes avenue
in Livonia .township, was former-
ly employed as a pipe -fitter and
welder at .the Cadillac Motor
company in Detroit.

Mr -and Mrs. William Garchow
of Five Mile and Merriman roads,
and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Herr of
Detroit observed a joint celebra-
tion on the occasion of their for-
tieth. wedding anniversaries Sat-
urday evening, August 29. The
two honored couples anti 14 guests
from Detroit enjoyed a chicken
and duck dinner served at Berry's
Chicken Shack on Plymouth
road. The table was decorated
with two large bouquets, and
one of the guests was Nancy
Shaw of Detroit, 69. years of age,
who was the flower girl at the
Garchow wedding. Mr. Garchow
was born in Livonia township on
the site of his present home and
married the former Jessie Wil-
liamson of Mt. Pleasant, who
taught school in Livonia Center,
on August 29, 1902. Mr. Garchow
is a sales representative for the
Hygiene Equipment company of
Detroit.
Cheap Cuts
Strangely enough, some of the
most nutritious meats are found at
the bottom of the butcher's price
list. Kidney, brains, heart and liver
have a distinctive flavor and an at-
tractive appearance when they are
properly cooked. Yet, all these
meat organs, except liver, are not
expensive.
Beavers Benefit Birds
Beaver preserves in the James
bay area of Canada are proving
beneficial to waterfowl, reports the
department of mines and resources.
Beaver ponds and meadows created
in sanctuaries by the industrious
beaver provide additional food and
shelter for large numbers of geese,
ducks, and shore -birds migrating to
and from their nesting grounds and
increase the available breeding area.

Schneider Runs
For State Senate
Seeks Nomination in
Eighteenth District
At the coming primary, Tues-
day, September 15, John H.
Schneider will be a candidate for
nomination on the Democratic
ticket for the office of State Sen-
ator in the eighteenth district.
Mr. Schneider is a native of
his district and a lifelong resident
in it. He was graduated from the
Detroit Central high school, at-
tended the University of Detroit,
and was graduated from the Law
School of the University of Mich-
igan, in the class of 1927. He
has been a successful practicing
attorney in Detroit for the past
15 years. John H. Schneider is
married, the father of two chil-
dren and is a home owner, re-
siding at 18040 Northlawn ave-
nue, Detroit.
In 1936 he was elected circuit
court commissioner of Wayne
county to fill a vacancy. He serv-
ed with distinction to the end of
his term. In 1938, he was the
Democratic nominee for the state
senate in the eighteenth senator-
ial district, making a strong run
and losing only by a narrow mar-
gin in the election.
In recent campaign talks, Can-
didate Schneider has urged all
voters to exercise their right to
vote. He has stressed the point
that American boys are giving
up their lives so :that the right
to vote can be maintained and
that each citizen should regard
it as their patriotic duty to exer-
cise that right.
"Our great national leader,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, pres-
ident of the United States, is en-
gaged in a tremendous effort to
throw the full might of America
into the war. Michigan is one of
the great industrial states of
America and it is playing a lead -
and effective part in this great
war program. So it becomes a
matter of far more than ordinary
concern that we have in our next_
state legislature lawmakers who
can be relied upon to enact pa-
triotically and skillfully the leg-
islation that will fit Michigan
solidly into place as a most effi-
cient cog in the nation's war
effort so as to bring about suc-
cessfully and speedily the term-
ination of the present war," says
Mr. Schneider.
The candidate's platform calls
for strongly maintaining Amer-
ican constitutional freedom of
religion, speech, and human
rights, with honest, intelligent,
humane government for all, re-
gardless of race, creed or color;
economy in non -war spending;
and he is in favor of legislation
to cushion post-war unemploy-
ment.
For many years he was a mem-
ber of the Wayne County Dem-
ocratic committee, and is a mem-
ber of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows; The Detroit Lodge
of Elks No. 34; the Detroit Bar
Association, Wayne County Bar
Association and the State Bar of
Michigan.

Cellulose Raw Material
Rayon is an artificial silk of which
cellulose is the principal raw ma-
terial. The process by which the
artificial silk filaments are prepared
is similar, in principle, to the spin-
ning processes of silk worms and
spiders, the idea of copying which
was suggested by R. A. F. de Reau-
mur in 1734 and by Robert Hook in
1664. Cellulose is, as is generally
known, made from wood or cotton
hulls.

Not Always Wrong
Snow, rain, sleet, hail and sun-

That it protected the health of your
children in school?
In 1939, Senator Clyde V. Fenner introduced Senate Bill
No. 396. He skillfully directed it through both houses of
Legi,,Iature. On June 22, 1939 it was vetoed by Governor
Dickinson, whereupon Senator Fenner s e c u r e d suffi-
cient
uffi-
cient legislative support to override the Governor's veto.
The bill is now Public Act N o. 342 and provides Livonia
Township with water.
Under this Act, the Wayne County Road Commission laid
7 miles; of trunk water lines in Livonia Township, with-
out the cost of a single dollar -to Livonia taxpayers and
water users.
Your township has, up to the present time, attached 13
miles of lateral mains to the.,- trunk lines. You have
water. Good water. Cheap water.
It pays to elect competent public officials.

Not To Close Deer
Hunting Season
Rumors Untrue
Says Hoffmaster
Persistent rumors that Mich-
igan will forego a deer hunting
season this year because of the
war have no basis of fact. P. J.
Hoffmaster, conservation depart-
ment director, in answering quer-
ies concerning the possibilities of
a closed season, stated that, ex-
cept for transportation difficul-
ties, Michigan deer .hunters will
continue their sport "as usual"
this fall.
"The economic value of the
venison harvested would in itself
justify an open hunting season,"
Hoffmaster said.
"Inasmuch as we have been
hearing considerably of late as
to the possibilities or even prob-
abilities of fresh meat rationing,
I think it is well to consider the
millions of pounds of fresh ven-
ison that are harvested during
each November's deer hunting
season. According to hunters' re-
ports, 75,692 deer were taken
during the Iast season. This rep-
resents approximately 10,975,00.0
.pounds of fresh meat. That is a
rather startling figure, especially
in these times when it is neces-
sary that we release as much
fresh meat to our armed forces
and our allies as we can spare."
To the criticism that hunters
use shells that might better be
turned over to the army, Hoff -
master said that most Michigan
_deer hunters already have their
shells and that the shells used in
deer rifles cannot .be used as
army ammunition.
Hoffmaster ,pointed to the rec-
reational value of hunting and
to the need for "controlling" the
deer herd from a biological point
of view.
"We some day may appreciate
more than ° now and need the
training and experience obtained
by more than 150,000 men armed
with rifles who spend a couple of
weeks in our north woods every
fall, he said._

Molasses Highway

TANKS—for' hot telphoning
It takes a lot of telephoning io keep war plants humming.
And today, that's the big job. War calls must go through.
It may take the same amount of Long Distance equipment
to make a personal call as it does to rush through an order
for tank parts. That's why every telephone call you do not
make is a contribution to the war effort.
In normal times, we'd get busy and build sufficient add!-�
tional equipment to keep step with needs. But right now
that is not possible. Telephone materials are more urgently,
needed for tanks, bombers and machines of war.
Here are three simple ways you can help make the most
L
of available equipment and keep vital messages moving:;
1. Make only the most essential Long Distance calls.:
2. Keep ALL your conversations as brief as you can.;
3. When possible, give the number of the distant
telephone you are calling.
Remember the war every time you pick up the telephone.'
Keep your calls as short as possible. Don't ask Information
for numbers listed in the directory. You, can help_ Siwe
wires for war.'. -

West Side Wins Rubber
Game of Series, 19 - 14
The Rosedale West Side "Rats"
upheld tradition last Wednesday
evening by defeating the East
Side "Skunks", 19 to 14 in the
hotly -contested rubber game of a
five -game series.
Before the game, Captain Olson
of the East Side `.`Skunks" and a
number of his little ",skunks",
perhaps feeling somewhat elated
over their successes in the two
previous contests, proposed that
the losers of the rubber game buy
the refreshments for the winners.
The "Rats" enjoyed the treat and
offered their thanks to Captain
Olson for his suggestion.
Highlights of the game in-
cluded Doc Brooker's home run
over Fred Van Devender's head
in center field; Harold Stull's first
hit of the series, a sharply hit
ground ball between pitcher
Shoesmith's legs; Cal Robert's
long foul balls in the vicinity of
Tony Epling's tomato patch; Arn-
old Wehner's disgust when called
out when hit by his own batted._.
ball; Earl Stanbury's muff of a
well -thrown ball from Hary
Odger's; Benny Nethanson's work
around the "hot corner" which
was really hot; Joe Morris' triple
with the bases loaded and the
"Rats" in general for their come-
back after the previous week's
defeat.
The teams line up as follows:
East Side: Arnold Wehner, 3d;
Jimmie Stimpson, SS; ,Cal Rob-
erts, 1st; Webb Barth, LF; Sam
Coffey, RF; Bob Overman, P;
