The Livonia Red Cross Motor
Corps is busying itself, these
days, in a variety of ways. We
are making ourselves useful in
bringing sewing, knitting and
surgical supplies out from town
and also returning :the finished
products. We have .been assisting
in clinic cases, too. We have been
working downtown at Motor
Corps headquarters, driving am-
bulances .and in general—finding
out what makes things tick there.
Several -girls have been working
at the fairgrounds doing their
part for the Army, that being a
Motor Corps' service.
The first morning we worked
for the Army we were -taken to
Pontiac, 14 of us in a carryall.
Upon :arriving we were confront-
ed with row upon row of six-ton
trucks and told "Just drive these
back to Detroit." Trembling we
climbed into the cabs of the
trucks, we started the engines
and then came the time to let her
roll. There were five speeds ahead
in these trucks and reverse was
so far to the right we - had to
move over on the seat to make it.

Fire Chief Warns
Gas Hoarders
Residents of Livonia township
are warned by Fire -Chief Rob-
erts against storage of gasoline or
fuel oil in quantities not author-
ized by law in or .about your
home. In case of a fire and it is
found that gasoline or oil has been
stored it may cancell your insur-
ance. After. extinguishing a fire
last week by the Redford town-
ship fire department, a 50 gallon
drum of oil was found within a
few feet of the furnace thereby
greatly increasing the fire hazard
as well as endangering the lives
of the occupants as well as the
firemen. Don't forget the members
of your fire department are mem-
bers of YOUR family or your
neighbors and just because they
have elected to take over the job
of fire protection does not give
anyone the right to. place -their
lives in jeopardy—just remember
—the extra pleasure ,you may get
from a few more miles of travel
in your car or a few extra degrees
of temperature in the house will
never compensate you for the
loss_ of your home, your insurance
or possibbly a life.

Fire e't Again
Saves Old Barn
The Livonia Fire department
was again called Monday right,
November 2 at 11:00 p.m. to ex-
tinguish a second blaze in the old
barn at Merriman and Chicago
Blvd., owned by the Shelden
Land company. Quick work by the
department kept the fire from
gaining any headway resulting
in very little damage.
The building has been vacant
for some -time and some effort
should be made to see that tres-
passers- are. kept out so that it is
not necessary for six or eight
men to be called from their homes
at night, together with $6000.00
worth of apparatus to make calls
of this nature in the future.

A RECENT SURVEY of war industry plants revealed that
dirt accumulating on lighting fixtures is slowing down
production by robbing workers of much of the light
they need.
In the 27 war plants surveyed, the average loss of light
due to dirty fixtures was 17.5%. In one plant producing
airplane propellers, 38.2% of the light output was being
wasted because dust from a hand -grinding operation was
allowed to collect on the lights.
This dimout is serious because it hinders production.
The remedy is simple: A proper schedule of lighting
maintenance, under which lamps and fixtures are washed
regularly, will help insure the maximum light output
needed for efficient war production.
Frequency of cleaning depends on many factors, such
as the type of lighting installation and the kind of work
being done in a given area. For advice on how to set up
the most economical schedule for lighting mainte.
nance in your plant, or for help with any production
lighting problem, call any Detroit Edison office. Our
Industrial Lighting Engineers are at your service,
without charge.

The Kindergarten Hallowe'en
party was very successful. All the
children wore costumes, and
marched through the. school
rooms. Games were played. Sev-
eral mothers were present at the
party, who served fruit punch,
cookies and pop -corn for refresh-
ments. The children have been
learning the Thanksgiving story
for the past three days.
The first grade are learning
a Thanksgiving song, "What the
Turkey Said." Group one is read-
ing about "The Little Rabbit,"
and group two is reading about
"The Funny Little Pig." They are
making 'stocking caps like the one
Sandra brought to school.
The second grade have begun
a study of Indians. They have read
stories, sung Indian songs, drew
Indian pictures, and have an In-
dian exhibition on the.table. They
also drew a picture of the May-
flower. They bought $9.35 worth
of defense stamps this week. Sev-
eral parents attended the Novem-
ber PTA.
The third grade pupils have
started a unit on Indians for their
reading work in November. They
also have made Indian posters
during their art period. Daniel
Boone and other pioneers are be-
ing studied in the 4th grade. Six
parents, including a room mother,
attended the Parent Teachers As-
sociation meeting on Wednesday
evening, November 5.
The fifth grade C.J.C. bought a
new book entitled "Story of The
Great Lakes." Marjorie Jacobs
is making a weather map of the
sunshine in November in science
class. In geography they have fin-
ished studying the Great Lakes
and are beginning the North
Central states.
In the sixth grade reading class
the children are reading about In-
dians. Reports were made by Bob
Van Devender, Sally Ann Hol-
comb, Dolores Davis, Bernice Lon
Bock, Betty Clare Straehle, Frank
Cooper and Margaret Chavey.
In the seventh grade, the teach-
er is reading the book of the
month entitled "Humphrey's Pil-
grim Stories." A Camera club
was organized in the room. The
children brought their cameras to
school , and the teacher demon-
strated the use of the meter and
the photoflood light in taking
pictures. Arthur Scott was the
subject photographed, because
he wishes to send one to his Dad
in the service. The picture of the
month is to be :a picture of a
photogenic child about the school.

ture taken by the children will be

ers went into Mr. Kramer's office

The Rosedale Girl Scout troop
met at the clubhouse on Satur-
day, November 7 at 12 noon. Af-
ter roll call, the girls went to
their posts with their leaders,
Donna Lynch, Judith McWethy
and Mary Rolen to talk over
things needed for the troop. At
the close of the meeting they
played games and sang until the
meeting was adjourned a 2 p.m.

Mrs. J. H. Brown and Mrs. A.
Leadbetter of Blackburn avenue
were hostesses on Thursday at a
luncheon and shower at Mrs.
Leadbetter's home, honoring Miss
Dorothy Metsger who will be-
come the bride of Willard Naas of
Detroit on November 21. Twenty-
four guests were present and
many beautiful gifts were re-
ceived by Miss Metsger.
Mrs. John Stewart of Black-
burn avenue entertained a few
friends and neighbors at a fare-
well tea on Wednesday honoring
Mrs. James Gadsden also of
Blackburn avenue, who with her
family moved last week to a farm
near Ann Arbor. Mr. and Mrs.
Gadsden will be missed by their
many friends in Rosedale Gardens
and we wish them happiness in
their new home.
The Brownies troop of Rosedale
Gardens met on Monday at the
school. There were 19 girls pres-
ent and Mrs. F.. Vandevender,
leader, wishes to announce that
for the present time, the member-
ship in this group is closed. The
girls are learning some Brownie
songs and they all enjoy the work
they do. The troop committee
.consists of Mrs. Vandevender,
Mrs. Q. C. McClennan, M'rs. H.
Fox and Mrs. A. E. Williams.
Orders are now being taken by
the Campfire Girls in Coventry
Gardens for their annual Christ-
mas cookie sale. Orders will be
accepted 'until December 15, and
the cookies will be delivered on
December 17. You may order
them ,by the half -pound or by the
pound, and they can be wrapped
in Cellophane for gifts at a slight
additional charge. Mrs. Edward
Hamilton, Livonia 3125, and Mrs.
Edward Gillies, Livonia 2853 are
also accepting orders.
Due to thefactthat gas ra-
tioning looms as a deterent to
most of the social activity at
Plymouth High school in the near
future, it would seem that they
are trying to squeeze in all the
affairs before the end of the
month, and as each one falls on
a Friday, the same day the Tor-
chy-Teer_s have to plan their ac-
:tivities, it has been practically
decided to wait until the Plym-
outh calendar is cleaned u*a so
that the doings of the two groups
will not conflict. However, in the
near future, the gang expects to
get rollin' with plenty of mo-
mentum, again.

It's good economy .to conserve
and salvage old paint brushes,
according to recommendations
from the agricultural engineering
department at Michigan State
college. First step, if the bristles
are not broken, is to soak out old
paint with brush cleaner or if
no•t too 'hard, with gasoline or
turpentine. After the old paint is
softened, it ,should be scraped off
with a 'putty knife and brushes
washed in warm but mild laun-
dry suds. Bristles should be
straightened out before com-

This cannot be confused with a
