Fire Department Looks For Boots The Livonia fire department requests the residents in the neighborhood of Cardwell avenue and Joy road to be on the look- out for the pair of rubber boots that was borrowed while the de- partment was working at a fire in that vicinity. The party that took the boots would do well to give serious thought to the return of them at once as the Office of Price Administration does not look too kindly on anyone found to have rubber in their possos- sion that does not belong to them, particularly an article of this kind that belongs to a fire depart- ment. The department will ap- preciate any information. that may lead to the recovery of the boots and at the present time the boots may be returned to the depart- ment without anything further action being taken, however, if the boots are not returned with- in 30 days other steps may be taken. 0 The rubber and galosh ex- change being carried on at the Rosedale school under the spon- sorship of the PTA is progressing nicely. Several pair of rubbers and galoshes have been exchanged or sold. If you have outgrown rub- ber footwear that you wish to exchange for some of another size, or if you wish to sell or buy some, come to the school and look the supply over. A table has been set aside for this purpose in the lower hallway and will be there for the rest of this month, so bring in your outgrown rub- bers and boots and exchange them for a pair to fit your child. All members of the Rosedale PTA are asked to remember that the election of officers will take place at the April 7 meeting, and are asked now to plan to be at the .meeting. 0 Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Flynn of Wavne road attended open house given by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Veich of Detroit for their son, Stanley who is leaving for the service Friday. There were about 300 guests. Tonight's the night that all Livonia Victory Gardeners will gather at Hope Chapel on Six Mile road to get first hand informa- tion on the proper method of preparing soil for their Victory Gar- dens. The class of instruction will be under the direction of Wayne County Agricultural Agent E. I. Besemer and will be the first of a series of four to be conducted by him. Tonight's class will deal with soil preparation and planting and a discussion will be held about the proper kinds of vegetables to be planted in this area. All residents interested in growing a garden are invited to attend the meeting and participate in the discussion. Similar classes are being conducted elsewhere in Wayne county and have met with favorable comment because of the completeness of the course. Mr. Besemer will be at the Livonia township hall all day today testing soil for residents who desire to know just what preparation is necessary for the earth where they will plant their gardens. This is another free service and it is hoped that every one will avail them- selves of the opportunity to have their soil analyzed. The classes were arranged for by the Service Corps of the Civ- ilian Defense Group of Livonia township under the direction of Harry S. Wolfe and Herbert Tucker. Page 2 THE LIVONIAN ` Wednesday, March 22, 1943 Red Cross REMWs Most successful blood bank. The blood bank held on Mon- day, March 15 at the Wilcox school was the most successful yet held in Livonia township, in spite of bad roads and rainy wea- ther. One hundred and eighty-two perspns came to offer their blood. For various reasons thirty-one persons had to be refused, leav- ing one hundred and fifty-one pints of blood collected. The motor corp transported most of these persons to and from their appointments. The canteen corps, under the direction of Mrs. Myron Ander- son, chairman and her co-chair- man, Mrs. Mable Ault, served two hundred. and forty persons includ- ing the local staff, the mobile staff from Detroit and the hun- dred and eighty -.two persons who came to donate. Mrs. Edna Ziegler, chairman of the blood bank can be justly proud of this achievement. Mrs. Ziegler is recovering from a serious operation which she un- derwent a few days, .ago in the Pontiac General hospital. Because 4,000,000 pints of blood are estimated to be the needs of army and navy medical men for 1943, there is ,a constant search for new donors. If you are physically fit, plan to visit the next blood bank and give your share to save the lives of our fighting men. Bronze medals will continue to go to servicemen cited for bravery or efficiency, but reduction .in copper material for insignia and apparel of the armed forces will save more copper than the amount used in medals. 0 The women's hosiery turned in since the beginning of the Stock- ing Salvage Campaign if placed end to end would stretch 14,211 miles.

With spring and warmer weath- er just around -the corner (-,xe are told) it would be well to give some thought to the possibility of fire from burning vacant 'lots and other areas. A few fires of severe nature have already re- sulted from burning grass in the township and a little extra thought before starting the fire will cut the fire possibility to a minimum. Do not start a grass fire in a strong wind—in any event be sure the wind is blow- ing away from any nearby prop- erty or combustible materials -- have a garden hose attached (with water) long enough to gut out the fire if it should get out of hand—stay near the fire and watch it until it has burned itself out—don't let children play near the burning area—and above all do not pick a time to burn the grass when your neighbor has just put up her washing so that the wind blows the smoke and gra-s particies on her weekly ef- forts (thank you ladies ) How about someone cleaning out the two sewers on Hubbard avenue in Rosedale Gardens.

L. BLAKE JEWELER Opposite Post Office Northville, Mich. The Best Place to Buy WHEN YOU FLY KITES, PLAY SAFE -THIS WAY SPRING WEATHER brings out kites, of course. It's fun to fly them—but be sure to see that it's done safely! When the youngsters go out with kites, see that these safety rules are observed for the chil- dren's sake: Fly kites only in the open fields, entirely away from any electric line. This is safer for the kite, too; it doesn't get tangled with wires and lost or broken. String containing metal (such as Christmas tinsel cord) should not be used. If it should come in contact with an electric line, serious injury might result. Even plain cotton cord conducts electricity when wet, so don't allow kite -flying during a rain. String that has fallen into puddles should be well dried out before use. Don't use metal frames in kites. A live wire looks like any other wire. It may not be an electric line, but another wire carrying elec- tricity can charge it by touching it some place that you cannot see. So teach children to stay clear of any wires while flying kites. Kite flying is fun—and it's safe, when you're careful.

Re- cent data show farm flocks num- ber 372 million laying hens, which is 12 per cent more than a year ago and 23 per cent above the ten-year average. Egg pro- duction recently has been as much as 17 per cent greater than in corresponding periods a year ago. Realizing the normal seasonal ncrease in eggs and consequently economical yields in spring, the Kroger Grocery and Baking Co. has planned a special Victory` Egg Sale for late March and April. With meat in restricted quantity, eggs_ are selected by many house- wives as allies to furnish high nu- tritive food. Eggs are rated by nutritionists as especially rich in protein, vita- min A, and such minerals as iron and phosphorus. The national nutrition rules recommend at least three or four eggs weekly for each person in the family. While eggs form an important part of the military diet, still this is one food not rationed and civ- ilians are assured adequate sup- plies because of increased pro- duction, goals met by farmers and .commercial poultrymen. Farmers Pay Off Loans Farmers repaid $28,000,000 on loans administered by the Emer- gency Crop and Feed Loan offices in 1942, compared with $19,500,- 000 they borrowed during the year. - Lumber for Shipping Containers More than 11 billion board feet of lumber will be needed for ship- ping containers in 1943, says the U. S. department of Agricul- ture's forest service. Annual aver age is less than 4112 billion feet of box, crating, and dunnage lum- ber. Container needs are increas- ed by greater production of agri- cultural products and exports of -army and lend-lease supplies.

O Dehydrated vegetable produc- tion is due for a sharp increase in 1943, according to a survey indi- cating 187 new drying plants will go into operation. Twenty plants were available .a year ago. How much grain does the av- erage Michigan cow get daily?, The answer, according to federal reports, is 6.5 pounds in February, 1943. That is six tenths of a pound more than a year ago. The increased feeding for the average cow is recommended by Michigan State college dairy extension spe- cialists. Farmers .already feeding their animals according to herd test arithmetic usually feed more than the average dairyman doles out.
