O. Berry who operates the market and restaurant on Plymouth road known as Berry's Chicken Shack. The interviews were taken to get a cross section of opinion of Livonia residents on what could be done to best help the war effort during the coming year. Mr. Berry, a former manor of Ferndale, now operates a slaugh- ter house in connection with his market and in the meat business he too has felt the present day hardship in securing meats for his customers. On his visits to packing plants and other slaughter houses he has noticed of late the increased kill of lambs, calves and small pigs. In his opinion he thinks that if the present rate of slaughtering is maintained of these smaller animals that an- other year will see a much greater reduction in the amount of meat that is available to the consumer. As a remedy for the condition he suggests that no cattle be killed until they are at least one year old. Calves are now killed at anywhere from 70 to 100 pounds and at one year they would weigh from 600 to 700 pounds thus increasing , the amount of meat available to the public in one year about six times per each individual animal. In the case of lambs their av- erage in the slaughter house is from 30 to 40 pounds where at a year they would weigh anywhere from 120 to 130 pounds. Small pigs are killed, according to Mr. Berry, to satisfy people's desire to serve thc4n at holiday time, at 20 to 30 pounds and in a year they would weigh anywhere from 200 to 250 pounds. - Mr. Berry takes the average weights of a small pig, a calf and a lamb and figures them col- lectively at 170 pounds. He then explains that if all the weight was meat that could be eaten it would furnish 170 people a pound of meat each, but if the same ani- mals were killed at one year old, the same three animals would weigh about 1,100 pounds and 1,100 people could have a pound of meat or about seven times as much meat would be available to the public.

January 6, 1943 THE LIVONIAN Wage 3 Start Rationing Of Most Canned Foods February 1 Plymouth Board Ready to Function Under New Regulations Under present plans, war ra- tion stamp No. 17, from the first ration book will be good for war ration book No. 2, it has been announced by War Ration Board Chairman Will- iam Wood. Under that system, it will be necessary for every person to register for Book No. 1 before they can obtain book No. 2. He also announced that regis- trations for book No. 1 had been extended to January 15 to give every person an oppor- tunity to register. With most canned goods, frozen and dried fruits, Meat, and cooking and table fats to be rationed soon after the first of February, it will be neces- sary for every person to reg- ister for the No. 1 book before the January 15 date if they ex- pect to eat regularly. At the same time, it was point- ed out that regulations with re- spect to the rationing of coffee are so strict that even if a person has become 15 years of age since the time of registration, they stili are not entitled to a coffee ration. Numerous requests for an in- terpretation of the regulation prompted the ruling from the national board. When coffee rationing was started, each person 15 years of age or older was entitled to a pound each five weeks. Many persons assumed that when a child reached the age of 15 that the child would automatically be entitled to his coffee ration. But that is not trub. With the issuance of the war ration book No. 2, the holders of war ration book No. 1 will - retain them for use as sugar and coffee rationing stamps, according to present plans. War ration book No. 2 which is novr being printed will contain red and blue stamps. There will ,be 96 blue stamps and they will be used on specified dates for the purchase of canned goods. The red stamps will be used later for the purchase of .meat. Each of the blue stamps will be numbered. The numbers rep- resent the number of ration points each stamp is worth. The office of price .administra- tion, before the start of ration- ing, will set a point value on types of canned merchandise. When the housewife goes to her grocer to make a purchase, it will be necessary for her to bear in mind the value of the stamps she has available. By that is meant that the OPA may set a value of 10 points on a can of peaches. A can of apri- cots may be worth 15 points. The point value will depend on scar- city of the article wanted. It will then be up to the housewife to determine whether she wants peaches or apricots. The OPA does not plan to change the point value of various canned goods more than once each month. In effect, it means the house- wife must shop with two kinds of currency, for money is no good without the ration stamps. And the stamps, which have only a point value, are no good without the money. Mr. Wood said that he did not anticipate that it would be nec- essary to materially increase his present staff, which operates at the second floor of the city hall building, in order to handle the increased demand occasioned by the new rationing. The following are the canned, frozen and dried foods which are to be rationed, or exempted from the rationing: Included Canned and bottled vegetable juices, asparagus, baby foods, fresh lima beans, green and waxed beans, all canned and bot- tled dry .varieties: of beans, in - eluding ,baked beaias,_soaked tory beans, .pork and beans, kidrYey beans and lentils,``beet's;' includ- ing pickled beets, carrots, corn, peas, sauerkraut, spinach, toma- toes, .tomato catsup and chili sauce, tomato juice, tomato pro- ducts; and all other canned and bottled vegetable juices and combinations. Canned and bottled fruits and fruit juices, including spiced fruits, apples, including crab apples and apple sauce, apricots, baby foods, all varieties of ber- ries, red sour pitted cherries and other cherries, cranberries and cranberry sauce, fruits for salad and fruit cocktails, grapefruit, grapefruit juice, grape juice, peaches, pears, pineapple, pine- apple juice, and all other canned and bottled fruits, fruit juices and combinations. Canned soups: All types and varieties. Dried, dehydrated fruits: Prunes, raisins and .all others. Frozen fruit: Cherries, peaches, strawberries, other berries and all other frozen fruits. Frozen vegetables: Asparagus, lima beans, green and wax beans, broccoli, corn, peas, spinach and all other frozen vegetables. ° Exempted Frozen fruits and vegetables in containers of more than 10 pounds; fruit and vegetable juices in containers of more than one gallon; candied fruits; jams and jellies; fruit cakes and puddings; preserves; olives, pickles and rel- ishes; paste products, such as spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, whether or not they are .packed with added vegetable sauces; potato salad; meat stews con- taining some vegetables; chili con carne. The William Wasmunds enter- tained Mr. and Mrs. George Pur- cell and Miss Irene Sharp for Christmas dinner and also held open house during the afternoon and evening, the latter being at- tended by 30 friends. Kids Wife, Hides Body Under Bed Husband Confesses To Officers Stanley Matysiac, 46, is held in the Wayne county jail in De- troit, charged with the shotgun murder of his wife, Helen, 35, at their lonely chicken farm home at 34715 Stacey. Both were known in Livonia. Stacey is ari unpaved street running east off of Wayne road and is the first street north of Ford road in Nankin township. Police also held Frank Premo and Thomas Swaczeski, both of Detroit, as accomplices in the crime. While the shooting occurred Christmas eve, it was not discov- ered until Sunday evening when Mrs. Matysiac's body was found by two boys on Edison lake rear Belleville. When arrested, police said Matysiac readily admitted that he shot his wife, and said the shooting culminated a long series of arguments precipitated, he said, by his wife's demand that he transfer all of his property and their joint property to her. He said, according to police, that the argument began again on Christmas eve when they re- turned from Detroit to their coarse, unfinished home to at- tend their chickens. He said he missed when he fired his 16 guage shotgun the first time but gqt her the second time as she tried to escape through the kitchen door. He then dragged her body to the bedroom and shoved it under the bed where it remained until Saturday night when Matysiac and his friends from Detroit carried the body out of the houFe, deposited it in the trunk of an automobile and hauled it to the bridge over Edison lake. They stopped the car and threw the body onto the ice. First tip on the murder came from Mrs. Premo, who told the police she was in the automobile as it hauled the body away, but that she had been told that it was rubbish. Mrs. Matysiac, an employe of the Hygrade Packing Co., in De- troit, was clad only in a house- dress and overshoes, when her body was found. —0— The only freedom worth pos- sessing is that which gives en- largement to a .people's energy, intellect, and virtues.

While crop losses from ex- cessive rain and the early freeze in September were quite gen- eral, the over-all crop production was exceptionally good. Excessive moisture delayed planting of some crops, beans and sugar beets particularly, caused considerable hay to spoil in the fields, ,and resulted in some acreage abandonment. Weeds were difficult to control. The early freeze during the latter part of September severely damaged the late bean fields. The short- age of farm labor became critical during the fall months. Some sugar beets were not harvested and many fields of corn and soy- beans still remain to be harvest- ed. Loss of apples was greater than usual in _many orchards. Despite these crop losses, a glance at the records back .to the Civil War reveals that the 1942 ..production for corn, oats, beans, soybeans and alfalfa hay is the highest on record. The barley crop was the second largest on record.' The potato acreage continued to decline and with the serious outbreak of blight, .the crop pro- duction was less than a_ year ago. Wheat was the only other major crop to show a decline in pro - FUEL OIL ' VGe Aim to Please" Phone Your Order to 191 Northville Night Calls Phone 68 C. R.

Hay seed crops were light. The total farm value of the crops shows an increase of 34 per- cent over last year. Reports from Michigan's dairy farmers indicate that .the aver- age cow is giving less milk than a year ago, yet she is getting more grain in her ration than last year. A shortage of labor may have resulted in letting the calves do more of the milking. Michigan's hens laid 78,000,000 eggs in November as compared with 68,000,000 for the same .per- iod last year. The final check-up of acreages harvested and yields obtained shows the 1942 harvest to be far above any in the past. The total crop area increased two percent while yields averaged 36 percent higher than during the "pre - drought" decade of 1923-32. The total volume of production is nearly 12 percent larger than in 1937, the banner year of the past. 0 Farmers to Plan For Big Crops Meetings Called to Discuss Details A series of meetings is sched- uled for war club leaders and AAA Community Committeemen to set up plans to contact every farmer and help him fill out his Farm Work Sheet Plan for 1943. The worksheet will show his in- tended food production and will also aid in the deferment of es- sential agricultural workers, the provision of needed labor, ma- chinery, materials, and credit help. Farm Mobilization Day is set for January 12 and many meet- ings will be held at which farm plans will be made out. The meetings will be under the direction of Fred C. Ernest, chairman, E. I. Besemer, secre- tary and Bert Merritt, vice-chair- man of the County U.S.D.A. War Board.

Nichol, former Plymouth lad, has sent to The Chicago News from Moscow, Russia, where he was recently sent by the Chicago publication. Dave has been located in Lon- don for several months. It is understood that he will .probably be in Russia for the next year or so—and one of his first articles from Russia tells of the long hours of toil, from dark to dark, on the part of Russians who man the factories of that country. He comments that he has been amaz- ed at the large number of Rus- sian women who are working in factories. "Four abreast, almost shoulder to shoulder in endless lines, peo- ple are going to work," he writes. "This is written seven days be- fore Christmas. * * x Certainly there is no `hoiday spirit' in the sense that the Western world has come to know this term. Moscow is too busy doing other things, and almost the only item that looks at all like Christmas is the snow -decked row of young ever- greens that flanks the Red square along the Kremlin walls," said a paragraph in one of his articles. 0 To an honest mind, the best perquisites of a place are the ad- vantages it gives for doing g@od. —Addison.

GOpD ,GHS L!!L®R cGNTRAST in war plants! Skilled workers can produce only as well and effi- ciently as they can SEE. That is why good light is so important in war plants. Machine output depends in large degree on the speed and accuracy of machine operators, and seeing must be clear, sharp, effortless. GOOD LIGHTING helps to make it so. But there is another production tool almost as important as good lighting, and that is COLOR ` CONTRAST. Machines in factories are often painted a drab green, deep gray or black, blending into a dark solid mass. This — combined with dull walls, floors and ceilings—makes seeing difficult even under large amounts of illumination. Valuable light is "blotted up" and much of it wasted. There is no contrast between the machine and the work, between a gray stamping and a gray press. =Eyes strain to see, hands are slowed down, hazards are multiplied. A paint brush provides a simple and inexpensive solution. By painting the working areas of machines a lighter color, CONTRAST is provided between the work and the background, making it easy to see. And because eyes are instantly attracted to the bright spot, the lighter ..color "spotlights" the danger area — the point of work — and accident hazards are automati- cally reduced. Detroit Edison Lighting Advisors will be glad to advise you on the combined use of LIGHT and COLOR CONTRAST to boost production in your plant. Cali RA 2100, Lighting Division.

Page 6 Fire Department Has New Number The residents of Livonia town- ship within the boundries cov- ered by your fire department are to be congratulated on their fine record of fire prevention during the last two weeks and the en- suing cold spell. The department has had to respond to no calls from December 8th to the time this item goes to press. Residents of the Livonia Fire department district are requested to be on the look out for another change in the phone number of the fire department—this is oc- casioned by the numerous daily calls being made by phone sub- scribers that for some unaccount- able reason result in the ringing of the fire phone causing no end of confusion at the fire house to say nothing of the inconvenience Good Materials are hard to buy, but as long as they are still available you'll find them on our shelves. ORR Fred L. Cook Co. General Merchandise Phone 10 Farmington, Michigan. THE LIVONIAN Wednesday, January 6, 1943 to the telephone subscriber. The telephone company has exerted every effort to trace the cause but to no avail, consequently, in the near future all residents of Livonia township living between Eckles road on the west, Inkster road on the east, Six Mile road on the north and Joy road on the south will dial 2-55 when calling the Fire Department—further no- tices will be posted in the Li- vonian and the Plymouth Mail at an early date. Chief Roberts requests that continual phone requests for the department to flood various lots to be used as skating rinks be stopped—when the ground is sufficiently frozen through to a depth that will hold water and when well banked up on the sides, the department will flood one lot in Coventry Gardens and one lot on Plymouth road in Rosedale Gardens to be used as skating rinks for residents and children, however any civic as- sociation in the fire department area may request the flooding of a lot if it is in the proper con- �dition as outlined about and with- in 150 feet of a fire hydrant. The reason the department can- not flood all the lots requested is that it usually takes up to 150 feet of hose and after being used, this hose must be dried and con- sequently cannot be used on the fire truck in case of fire for from 24 to 36 hours and the de- partment is sure that no resident would care to have the depart- ment take a chance at anytime of being just 150 feet short of being able to do a good job of exting- uishing a fire at his or his neighbor's home just because the hose had been previously used to flood a lot for a few hours of pleasuure.

Some scoffed at his idea when some 15 years ago he started the operation of the Phoenix plant " with exclusive women help, nearly all of them res- idents of Plymouth and vicinity. But now even the government finds that Ford was right and that women make as good, and in many cases better, factory workers than men. In the Ford plants about 9;000 are running machines, operating cranes, weld- ing joints—carrying on the jobs which have been regarded as be- ing entirely within the male bailiwick. No woman is hired on her looks. Not how she appears, but what she can do and, es- pecially, what training she has had, determine her employ- ment. Girls at Willow Run abandoned all dresses and put themselves in slacks. This was voluntary, and even the color of the slacks was set by their own rule. They must be blue. More than self-discipline af- fects feminine appearance. In the Highland Park plant a secret ma- chine is being turned out. Toler- ances in its gears are less than one ten -thousandth of an inch. So finely do these mesh that rooms in which they are fitted are air-conditioned so that even fine particles of dust may be ex- cluded. Girls working in this de- partment do not enter these workrooms until their hair has been covered with a cloth or something which will confine it. Their nails must be clipped short so they will not break off; they can wear no finger -nail polish, experience having taught the company that even chips of cell- ulose hexanitrate will mar fine metal parts. Should bits of finger- nail, a strand of hair, or even a bit of nail polish get into the gears, they would be thrown so far out of true as to be useless. Most of, these girls are high school graduates. Many are col- lege graduates. A few even have Master's degrees. That makes no difference now. Side :by side they do the same work with their sisters who may be immigrants from Allied countries and can hardly speak English. According to some Ford fore- men, women are far more ca- pable of doing most fine work than men. Remember," said one, "all, their lives, most girls have been trained to do fine and delicate things. drake tatting, knitting, dainty sewing of all sorts. These things call for infinite patience and read- iness to " follow minute detail. That is just the sort of thing we need when it comes to boring a tiny hole in a delicate gear, where the slightest deviation from the true may mean scrap- ping an expensive piece. The girls make fewer mistakes than some men. Moreover, -they are, usually, infinitely neat and pains- taking. Little particles of dust or dirt are wiped away with a thoroughness few men could match. We find them perfectly suited to the work." At Willow Run there are, of course, the girl crane operators who run the huge overhead der- ricks transferring heavy parts about the shop. Here again, pre- cision and steadiness of nerves are of great importance. Operat- ing a powerful crane is not dis- similar to running a combined Page 7 locomotive and. derrick. Yet, these girls .are interested in opening dress shops, operating beauty parlors, singing over the radio. Running a crane is not the only thing in life. Two of them, in- cidentally, are married and have children. Today there are girl workers in the shops of every Ford plant in the Detroit area. Those include Phoenix, Dearborn, Highland Park, Lincoln, March Lake and Willow Run. They have learned and are practicing team work. They have taken to uniform outer garments. But, within, they preserve their personalities. This came to light recently when a women's magazine quer- ied some of the girls on what they wore beneath their blue slacks and shirtwaists. The an- swers were many and varied—as might have been expected. Frank- ness—almost masculine in char- acter—came forth also. One girl, when asked what she wore "within" spoke to. the point. "Birthday clothes" she said.. Good temper is like a sunny day; it sheds its brightness every- where.—Sidney. Plumbing and Heating Parts and Fixtures Repairs and Service C.1.

Edgar As part of the coast to coast drive of the nation's bowlers to get behind the war effort, Paul "Dizzy" Trout brought his All - Stars to Livonia Recreation Wed- nesday night and the Tiger hurl- er saw his team suffer its first defeat of the season. Pitted against Harvey Jahn's Market team, leaders of the Li- vonia Recreation league, Trout's squad was nosed out by the scant margin of 39 pins, even though it was given a 65 pin spot in each game. Before coming to Livonia, the ball players had conquered Geo. Holmes' Fife team, and the world match game champion Stroh combination. So, it was rather surprising that Jahn's market should outroll the celebrities 2612 to 2573. More than 150 persons who con- tributed close to $200 to the Li- vonia Red Cross motor transport unit, came to see such well known athletes as Trout, Hal Newhouser, the Tigers' young lefthander, Roy Cullenbine, former Tiger now with the Cleveland Indians, Councilman Billy Rogell, and Alexander Wojieciechowcz, form- er All-American football star at Fordham who has played with the Detroit Lions for the past five years, but they left singing the praises of young Al Nelson, lead-off man on Jahn's Market. team. Young Nelson, who showed none of the nervousness of his team mates, linked games of 210, 229 and 224 for a 663 series to take. And just how far he dom- match. And jjust how far he dom- inated the battle is proven by the fact that "Wojie" paced the All - Stars with a 544. Trout posted a 444 for his team, followed by " "Wojie's" 544, Rogell added a 518, while New- houser had a 483 and Cullenbine, held back by an opening game of 88, trailed with a meagre 387. Aside from Nelson's 663 Jahn contributed a 509, Ed Hamilton had a 495, Burt McKinney a 538 and Buck Weeber a 507. The All -Stars got away to a good start, aided by the 65 pin spot, they won the first game, 814 to 771. Then Nelson rallied the Market team .and it won the second game, 936 to 923 and took the final, 905 to 836. It was one of the first big matches staged at Livonia Recre- ation and while the All -Stars lost a good time was had by all and the real winner of the event was the Red Cross. As the All -Stars chorused af- terward, during a celebration at Dann's Wonder Bar where Jim- my Mason was a gracious host, "What difference does it make which team gets the most pins so long as the Red Cross gets the dollars." To help enliven the evening, the All -Stars auctioned off two autographed pins and they brought an additional $18.00 to the fund. The Livonia Recreation donated the alleys and all-in-all it was a big evening that not only furnished a treat for the Livonia residents, but stamped young Al Nelson as one of the up and com- ing young bowlers of the Metro- politan area.
