Newborn Babes
- Not Dependents
According to information just
provided -members of the Plym-
outh induction board by the
.Lansing office in charge of the
national selective service in Mich-
igan, babies born after September
14, 1942 will not be regarded. by
the board as dependent children.
In view of this policy, regis-
trants reporting the birth of their
first , child after September 14,
1942, will still be considered as
category 3 cases and their class-
ification will be reopened and re-
considered in order number se-
quence with all other category 3
cases, state members of the Plym-
outh board.
This new ruling, if it stands,
therefore considers a registrant
who is .father of a child born af-
ter September 14 as a person who
has a wife, but no children.

Planning Expert
Will Tally Here
A member of the State Plan-
ning Commission will visit Li-
vonia on Wednesday, March 10th
to meet with the township plan-
ning board and discuss the work
to be done in setting up a post
war program of development.
The discussion will center
around the development of a new
sewer and water system and also
the steps to be taken in regard
to the building of a Livonia high
school. Since Livonia already has
a program well under way it will
be comparatively easy to start the
program in motion at the conclu-
sion of the war thereby making
work for soldiers in this area.
At last weeks meeting of the
Planning Commission engineer
Harold Hammill revealed the fact
that he had been ordered by the
township board to make a survey
of areas in the township that
needed drainage. The township
board is anxious to take what
ever step possible this spring to
relieve flooding in some of the
property in this section. Although
it wouuld be impossible to con-
struct permanent drains at this
time -it is hoped that something
can be done to lessen the flooded
conditions.

Farmers Not Only Produce Food
But Guns, Tanks, and Shells, Too
Are farmers in this war?
Brother, are you kidding?
Farmers harvest ships and shells,
guns and tanks, planes and para-
chutes—as well as Food for Free-
dom.
Take corn and wheat for in-
stance. Most of our wheat of
course is converted into flour and
bread, while most corn is used
for livestock feed, and thus indi-
rectly becomes bacon, ham, beef-
steak, milk, butter, ice cream,
chicken, eggs and other kinds of
Johnny Doughboy's favorite
foods.
But corn and wheat also hello
fire the big guns against the Axis.
About 12% bushels of corn or
wheat make a barrel of industrial
alcohol, which in turn makes
enough smokeless powder to fire
a 12 -inch shell. Both corn and
wheat are useful in producing
synthetic rubber, about 333 bu-
shels of corn going into a ton of
rubber.
Cotton is another war -time es-
sential. Uncle Sam needs it for
uniforms for his fighters. He uses
long -staple cotton in soldier's
rubberized rain -coats, and short -
staple cotton in tents, tarpaulins
and coveralls.
The list of war uses ofNeotton
is a long one. It includes inflat-
able life rafts, barrage balloons,
aircraft pontoons, some types of
parachutes, the fabric belts that
feed ammunition into machine
guns—even Flying Fortresses.

Farmers who want "to give
pheasants a break" are advised
by conservation department game
men that now is the time to haul
and spread barnyard manure.
Heavy snows have buried much
of the weed seed crop on which
pheasants feed in winter, and
waste grain in manure spread
near heavy cover will almost cer-
tainly be used by the birds in
this "pinch period," they say:
This practice is cited as one of the
many ways a farmer can benefit
wildlife without additional labor
or cost to himself.

The Rosedale branch of the
Wayne county library, in opera-
tion for just over a year, an-
nounces that the circulation has
been 2338 books. In the last three
months the circulation has doubl-
ed, the number being 1644. The
branch was in 6th place a year
ago, and now is in 1st of the 10
centers. Some of the new books
on the shelves are "World His-
tory at a Glance," by Reither;
"American Giant Biography,"
Giebanier; "For Permanent Vic-
tory," Johnson; "Everybody's
Cookbook," Lord; "Choice Re-
ceipes," Aldrich; "What to Eat and
How to Cook It," Thomas and
"Meals on Wheels," by Willson.
The library is open every Thurs-
day from 3 to 6 p.m. and from
7 to 9 p.m. Residents of the com-
munity are invited to come to the
Rosedale school and use these fa-
cilities.
Of this we may be sure: that
thoughts winged with peace and
love breathe a silent benediction
over all the earth, cooperate with
the divine power, and brood un-
consciously o'er the work of .His

Home Grown Foods
Prove Big Saving
Proof that one person in a year
eats a sizeable quantity of fruits
and vegetables is being used by
the Michigan State college home
economics extension service to
indicate that in 1943 it will pay
every family to produce some or
all of -that food at home.
A person's needs for a year
total enough to fill 219 pint jars
of canned fruit and vegetables.
In addition, 250 pounds of stored
vegetables are needed, such as
cabbage, potatoes, onions, squash,
beets, carrots. The food budget
also should include two bushels
of apples.
On the pocketbook side, the
average good diet for one person
would total nearly $200 in a year,
if purchased.
Home food production includes
the factor of patriotism, the col-
lege specialists report. Every
pound of food produced at home
need not be transported, thus re-
lieving rail and truck facilities
for the job of conveying war nec-
essities. I, A We
Meetings scheduled for every
county in the state are taking
specific home economics informa-
tion to Michigan's homemakers.

Support Miilfeeds Price
Prices of millfeeds will be sup-
ported by- the Commodity Credit
Corporation to flour millers at
$1.50 per ton below the OPA ceil-
ings. This is part of the USDA's

and break prices to the consumer,
and to encourage increased pro-
duction of livestock by keeping
a supply of millfeeds available.
Protects Against Forgers
The United States Secret Ser-
vice has turned its big guns
against the forger of Government
checks in a drive to protect, par-
ticularly men in the armed forces.
The USSS has successfully check-
ed counterfeiting, reducing losses
from bad money by 59 per cent
in 1942. Losses have been cut 93
per cent in five years. Persons
receiving Government checks
from boys in the armed services,
or others, are urged to take every
precaution against pilfering of

Priorities on Underwear
A "priority list" of heavyweight
undergarments, for which stand-
ard specifications and prices are
being worked out, is being pre-
pared by OPA. The list will com-
prise - kinds of underwear con-
sidered most essential for civil-

A total of 879 trucks were re-

`Economies' Permitted Retailers
Just how far can a retail store
go in reducing their expenses
without reducing their ceiling
prices? OPA has decided that
regional administrators and dis-
trict managers of OPA offices can
rule on that question. Under the
retailers economy for victory plan
retailers have in some cases
eliminated all deliveries and
many store services.
Soldiers Family Allowance
If a soldier's family is not get-
ting their allowance under the
Servicemen's Dependents Allow-

convicted in a criminal action
and fined $400. Sixty-nine land-

illegally collected rents to 154
tenants, to a total of more than
$5000, and orders have been is-
sued by OPA which will reduce
the rents in the Vallejo area more
than 10,000 a month. The actions
grew out of complaints by Navy
men who were forced to pay as
high as $65 for two small rooms

Seventeen colonies of bees at
Michigan . State college proved in
1942 that bees are doing their
part in combating any sugar
shortage, but that beekeeping is
not an amateur's shortcut to
plenty of sweets. The season was
not favorable to the bees, but the
17 colonies turned out nearly 70
pounds of honey each. The honey
had a value of $173.43, a little
