In This Scrap
Collect Scrap Pile
Sell $80.00 in Stamps
The children at Cooper school
are definitely in this scrap to beat
the Nazis and Japs. They have
been working very hard during
their lunch hour and after school
these past few days and their
huge pile of scrap in. front of the
school is the troof of their ef-
forts. According .to Harry S.
Wolfe, who has been traveling
around the township looking over
the results of the scrap collection,
the Cooper school kids are the
champ "scrappers" of Livonia
township as they have accumulat-
ed the largest pile of scrap metal
in the township.
The children were not satis-
fied that they had done enough
toward wiping out the "Rats"
across the ocean from us, so they
held a •bond party last Friday
,evening, September 25. The party
had a very successful turnout and
over $80.00 worth of defense
stamps were sold.

Home on Furlough
Machinist Mate Second Class
Wilber H. Fowler, son of Mr, and
Mrs. W. M. Fowler, Plymouth
road, arrived home Saturday
morning from Cuba on a few
days' furlough. The boat on which
he was stationed was torpedoed
by a submarine and sunk off the
Cuban -boast. Mr. Fowler said
members of the crew drifted in
the water several hours before
being rescued.
He was accompanied home by
a friend, -E. L. Richards of New
York who holds the same rank
as young Fowler. When they re-
turn to New York they will be
assigned to some other boat.

You Can Help
Since it is impossible for
your reporter to get new tires
and because in the near
future your reporter will be
a little short of gasoline we are
forced to ask you to mail any
news items that you might
have to our office, The Livon-
ian, Plymouth, Michigan. We'll
grant that the telephone is a
much handier way to do it but
since the telephone company is
already swamped with calls we
know that if your items are
more than two. or three lines
they (the telephone company)
will appreciate it if you don't
tie up the lines any longer
than necessary.
Please don't misunderstand
us. We want every article that
we can get but we would ap-
preciate it very much if you
would drop them in the mail to
us or give them to some school

That's where the Civic theatre
of Farmington landed when; its
campaign ended last week for
the war bond sales.
The total went well over $20,-

had been expected.
The manager and all of the
employes of the theatre were de-

They had hoped for a large
total, but never did they dream
that it would exceed $20,000.
Most of the sales were in $25

Members of the Rosedale

their next meeting on Thursday,
October 1st. The meeting will be
a regular business session and it
is hoped that the attendance will
be large in view of the fact that
nominations will be in order for
the important job as secretary.
The resignation of the present
secretary necessitates the election
of a new one and it is toped that
as many of the membership as
possibly can will be on hand to
help in the selection of the new
officer.

Help Is Needed
More than 25 big truck loads
of scrap was collected last week-
end in Livonia township as the
result of the remarkably success-
ful drive made by the school
children of the township.
In fact the collection was much
larger than had been anticipated.
But the work is not yet finished.
Help is needed in collecting the
scrap in. Both Herbert Tucker
and Harry Wolfe, who worked
jointly in directing the drive,
have made appeals for people
who can donate truck service,

How to
and make your rooms
0
L, •
If you could get 25 per cent more light in your rooms
without spending ONE -CENT more for electricity,
would you, be interested? In many homes it is pos-
sible to do exactly that. And it is due to the fact
that dust steals light ... robbing you of part of the
electricity you pay for.
One-fourth of your light is far too great a tribute
to pay —and you can avoid it by cleaning your
lamps and fixtures regularly. It's easy to overlook
this important task, because dust collects on bulbs
that are hidden under lamp shades or in semi -
enclosed lighting fixtures. And these lights lose their
brightness little by little, day by day, so that you
scarcely notice it.
To keep your lighting at top efficiency, wipe all
lamp bulbs: frequently (also lamp reflector bowls).
Dust your lamp shades inside and out. Use the RIGHT
SIZE BULBS in your lamps and fixtures—not too large,
not too small. Replace dark -colored shades with
light shades with white linings, to reflect more light.
You'll be amazed at the difference in your rooms—
how much brighter and more cheerful they are —
if you follow these simple rules, The Detroit Edison Co.

A. R. West Announces
Plan To Teach
Tractor Drivers
Women of this locality are
invited to attend a new course
of instruction in the operation
of tractors at a class opening
November 3 in the A. R. West
store on South Main street in
Plymouth. The course, the
first of its kind in Michigan,
will be given free to any wo-
men registering. The object of
the training is to provide wo-
men helpers for local farmers
next spring when planting sea-
son arrives.
The course will be instructed
by Mr. West and experts from
the International Harvester
company. It will cover a period
of six weeks and will be given
entirely free to those who desire
to enter. The practice -study will
center around the simple opera-
tion of tractors aad the care of
the machines.
Similar classes in other parts
of the country have proved very
popular and in view of the labor
shortage, local fanners are en-
thusiastic about the class Mr.
West is starting here. Enroll-
ments are now being taken and
women wishing to enter the class-
es may call at the West store for
complete information.

Urge Women To
Take Early Bus
Officials of the Plymouth
Coach company today made an
appeal to Plymouth women to
avoid riding whenever possible
on the late afternoon buses from
Detroit. The bus line is taxed to
a capacity from 4 until li o'clock
in the afternoon. Edward Sinta,
manager of the line has asked
local women to either take earlier
or later buses to Plymouth from
Detroit.
Mr. Sinta warns that with the
increased demands being made
on the lines by defense workers
that it will be almost impossible
for local women with packages
to even find standing room on the
trips out from Detroit.
He suggests that women either
Page 3
leave Plymouth earlier in the
morning and return home before
4 p.m., or that they wait in the
city and come back after the
heavy traffic is over. Since De-
troit stores are insisting that
shoppers carry most of their
smaller packages, bus room is at
a premium and people are urged
to make whatever purchases pos-
sible from their local merchants.
The soul, by an instinct stronger
than reason, ever associates beau-
ty with truth.

sider that this rsection of the
United States prodZices approx-
imately 30 percent of the arms of
the United Nations, it follows
that the enemy would want to
cause as much ' destruction as
possible. That probably means
demolition bombs. Picture the
havoc wrought by tons of those
explosives, thousands of casual-
ties, some crushed, some slashed
by shrapnel, others stunned by
explosion, and still more shocked
and dazed by horror and sudden
bereavement.. These are the cases
for which the Motor Corps would
be responsible. They must be
transported to First Aid and --Cas-
ualty stations and thence to hos-
pitals. Doctors and nurses would
be especially dependent on the
Motor Corps for they are the
only transportation service affil-
iated with OCD."
Dr. Hoffman's speech and the
explanation given of operational
details served to eliminate all
doubt and confusion and to
make clear the need for an effic-
ient and well trained Motor
Corps.
A. Motor Mechanics course is

To Be ,Available
(Continued Jrom page 1)
which permit the company to
withdraw service on a 48-hour
notice, in the event the facilities
are required for the direct war
effort or for the "public health,
welfare, or security." That will
permit many applicants to obtain
service on a temporary basis who
otherwise might not be able to
obtain it at all:. He suggested,
however, that persons or firms
planning to move consult first
with the Telephone company to
ascertain whether service will be
available at their new locations.
Welch said the plan is designed
to afford service to the greatest
possible number of persons want-
ing it, at the same time comply-
ing with orders of the War Pro-
duction Board that adequate fa-
cilities be reserved to meet in-
creasing military, war-produ&ion
and essential public needs. The
telephone system cannot be ex-
panded sufficiently to care for
all increase of service demand,
he added, because the materials
required, such as copper and
aluminum, are more urgently
needed for weapons of war.
"Rather than holding ourselves
to arbitrary estimates of the ex-
tent of future essential demands,
and denying service to civilians,
we propose to make service avail-
able to as many as possible by of-
fering temporary contracts to ap-
plicants", Welch explained.
"Whether it will become neces-
sary to withdraw service on a 48-
hour notice will depend upon fac-
tors associated with the service
increase in a particular area, to-
gether with the growing needs of
military organizations and war -
production industries and for es-
sential public purposes. Every ef-
fort will be made, however, to
avoid such withdrawals. It may
even become necessary to request
individual -line users to take
party -line service so others who
need telephones can have them
or keep them."
Announcement of the new pol-
icy came as restrictions on new
installations were extended to
three more exchanges — Reese,
Farmington, and Galien. Other
exchanges where the service res-
trictions have been necessary are
Sault St. Marie, Livonia, Coloma,
Zeeland, Watervliet, Big Rapids,
Hillsdale, Ann Arbor, Mt. Clemens

Issues Warning
To Duck Hunters
Lest hunters take the lifting
of the ban on wood duck shooting
to be an invitation to kill the
legal number allowed ,the conser-
vation department's game men
are pointing out that the change
in the law was made with quite a
different intent.
Chief purpose of the change,
they say, was to avoid penalizing
the novice for an unintentional
mistake in identifying duck
species, and to prevent waste if
the mistake was made. It definite-
ly was not made to encourage
wood duck shooting, they declare.
Rigidly protected for many
years because it was believed to
be in danger of extermination,
the beautiful wood duck still is
one of the better protected
species. Hunters may not have
more than one in a day's bag, and
though it is lawful to have a two
days' bag of other ducks in pos-
session limit on wood ducks re-
mains just one.
Keep 'em roiling! We mean
dollars! Buy U. S. Savings Bonds
and Stamps.
