Blood Bank Is
Largest Ever Held
The Red Cross Mobile Blood
Bank visited Livonia for the fifth
time September 15th. One Hun-
dred and forty donors came to
Wilcox school to offer one pint of
their blood to the U. S. Armed
Forces. Fourteen were refused for
their own protection, leaving 126 -
pints of blood actually collected
for this"vital project. .
This is the largest amount col-,
lected at any one Blood Bank,
in Livonia, so Livonia Township
can be justly proud of it's don-
ors.
Mrs. Jesse Zeigler, chairman
wishes to thank the Wilcox school
board for its fine cooperation in
dismissing school for the after-
noon and also thanks the 40 staff
workers whose 10 hour working
day made this project possible.
The Motor Corps .brought and
took home donors who did not
have transportation facilities.
Mrs. Zeigler and two assistants
greeted donors and took them to
Mrs. Earl Westphal, Livonia reg-
istrar who brought their donor
cards up to date.
Four Livonia nurses, two Home
nursing graduates and one nurses'
aid assisted the Mobile Bank staff
in caring for the donors.
The Livonia Canteen served re-
freshments to the donors and
served dinner to the forty staff
workers.

continue to come to the Red

Livonia's Civilian Defense op-
erations were again upset this
week by the resignation of asso-
ciate coordinator Les. Boudelear
of Rosedale Gardens. His resig-
nation followed closely upon the
heels .of that of Fred Bamsey, the
other associate who, resigned - a
week ago because he was moving
into Detroit.
No reasons for the resignation
of Boudelear were given by De-
fense authorities who stated that
a new appointment would be,
forthcoming very_ shortly.
Livonia's Defense setup is un-
dergoing a complete reorganiza
tion under the direction of co-
ordinator Jesse Zeigler who.
stated Monday that evet~y possible
step was going to be taken im-
mediately to have Livonia in
strict coordination with the state
set up. Mr. Zeigler made it clear
that all personalities.,, would be
shelved and an immediate plan
of action would be undertaken.

Urge People To
'urn In Salvage
School.Children Will
Canvas All'Homes .
Commander Herbert Tucker of
the Civilian Service Corps made
a public appeal to all Livonia
residents early this: week to do
everything within their power to
cooperate with school- children
this Saturday when they make
their canvas for scrap and sal-
vage.
Livonians joining in the na-
tional drive will have their first
opportunity to contribute their
scrap to the hundreds of school
children who will cover . the en-
tire township this week end.
The drive officially started last
Monday morning when school
children were given broadsides by
the salvage " committee to take
home to their parents and neigh-
bors informing them of the date
of the drive. Residents with tel-
ephones were called by volun-
teers and school teachers did ev-
erything possible all week to cre-
ate enthusiasm in the canvassers.
Salvage officials made no esti-
mates of the amount of scrap that
they thought could be collected
but they urged everyone to give
everything that they possibly
could. A full page advertisement
elsewhere in this issue of the Li-
vonian gives complete details of
the collection.
In case some residents are
missed in he drive, a call . to
either the township hall or to
your nearest school will bring a
collector to receive your scrap.
Final plans for the drive were
made at a general meeting last
Friday night at the Livonia school
where salvage officials and school
teachers -mapped their plan of ac-
tion and also discussed other de-
fense problems. Remember next
Saturday is the day have
your scrap ready.

third in the township with the
votes totaling as follows: Reid

War sets up many interruptions to
normal life. Tire and gas short-
ages make it harder to get about.
But banking by mail will help you
to overcome many wartime ob-
stacles and provides safe, speedy
service to suit your convenience.
We invite you to bank with us by
mail when weather, illness, or lack

The usual routine of school
work has been under way now
for two weeks. The safety patrol
has been organized among the
boys of the seventh and eight
grade rooms. The Junior Red
Cross council has been selected
from each room and has held the
first meeting to launch upon a
scrap drive to lick the Japs.
Each room has been assigned to
streets for canvassing. The scrap
will be deposited on the empty
corner of Hubbard and Cranston
streets where the truck will pick
it up. The teachers of Elm and
Rosedals. schools met with Mrs.
Georgiana Reid, the school nurse
at the Rosedale school from three
to four o'clock on Wednesday of
this week to discuss the health
program of the year.
Milk is being served to chil-
dren who bring their lunch to
school. Mrs. L. Hedden visited the
school teachers one day last week
to have them choose room moth-
ers for the year. Mrs. H. Beck,
president of the P.T.A., called at
the school to meet the teachers
last week.
On Giving Freely
Liberality increases the value ui

thrifty. War Bonds help you

Deer Hunters
To Ask For Gas
Providing There Is
Rationing Late in Fall
Anticipating that there might
be gasoline rationing by the
time the deer season opens, mem-
bers of the Western Wayne Coun-
ty Conservation commission re-
quest that deer hunters be pro-
vided with a sufficient supply of
gas to get up, north for the an-
nual deer hunt.
The action was not taken from
the standpoint of a sportsmen's
organization, but because deer
hunting this fall will help to
overcome the meat shortage that
the country faces. %
"We only seek this favor be-
cause of the fact that a success-
ful deer hunting trip will provide
thousands of families with a por-
tion of their meat supply for the
winter. If it was only for the
,sport one might get out of such
a trip, we would not make such
a request, but we believe that
it will help the country in a time
of emergency," stated President
Brick Champe of the organization
yes-uerday.
It s possible that mere will
be no gas rationing by the time
the hunting season opens, but if
it should be decided before the
deer season to have gas rationing,
then the club expects to make
formal application for permits to
use gas in going north to hunt.

Don't think you've collected enough scrap already—no matter how hard you've
worked at if! Our war production program still calls for six -million toss
MORE scrap iron and steel! The enemy controls over 90% of the world's
crude rubber, and we won't be turning out synthetic rubber for at least a
year. War plants need every ounce they can get. Junk salvaging is all the
people's job ... not for a one-week or one-month drive, but FOR THE DURA-
TION! Unless we all work—to salvage all the scrap iron, steel, non-ferrous
metals, rags, fats, tin cans and rubber in the land—our own and our Allies'
fighting forces can't. have the materials they need—in time! You can help.
Get busy right now!
Our war production program is at a crit-
ical point. The next few months are go-
ing to determine how long the war will
last—how many of the United Nation'
men will live to come home again! Each
one of us is responsible—each one of us
must do all we can to supply the junk
that will bury the axis!
Ransack every part of your home, com-
Affmercial establishment or ind' ustrial plant
