There were six general ses- sions and various smaller con- ferences. The theme for the year is "Then conquer we must." The presiding officer was Mrs. James C. Parker, state president. Among the outstanding speakers were Dr. Alice Sowers, National PTA vice-president and family educa- tional professor at the University of Oklahoma. Her subject was "Effects of War Upon Families." Major Roswell Rosengren who is chief of the office of Technical Information Engineer Corps, war department spoke on "Education and the Man in Service." Another very interesting speaker was Rabbi Jerome D. Folkman of Grand Rapids whose subject was "Our Part in the Post -War World."

Bank Makes Bond Record In Drive When the final tabulations were made in Farmington last week of the bonds sold during the nation's second war loan drive it was found that the Farm- ington State bank had sold 77 percent of all the bonds sold in that city. The bank sold the remarkable figure of $274,225.00 in bonds dur- ing the drive and has probably set a mark that will find few equals throughout the country. 0 * Buy Warr Bands * Proves His Point Lieut. H. E. Miller, who saw a German FAV -190 nearly blow the tail off a Flying Fortress flying ahead of him, thought the hole wide enough for him to walk through. Back' at the home station he had a chance to prove it. The pilot who flew the crippled ship home was Lieut. Don- ald E. Stockton, shown at right. 0 Plan Playground For Children The Livonia Center school P.T.A. will hold installation of officers at their next meeting, Monday, May 17, at 8:00 p.m. in the school. The incoming officers are Mrs. Aletha Phipps, presi- dent, who will accept the office for the second consecutive year; Mrs. Ralph Case, vice president; Miss Erma Bridge, secretary and Clarence Jahn, treasurer. Fol- lowing the ceremonies final plans will be made for the school pic- nic, to be held Sunday, June 6. Working on the races and prize committee are Mrs. Ralph Case and Mrs. William Schmidt. From all reports the picnic this year is going to be something super special for the youngsters, how- ever more detailed reports will be given later. Another item of interest will be opened for discussion by a report from the committee on develop- ments for an organized, cooper- atige playground for school chil- dren throughout the coming summer: The committee, which was selected last meeting Mon- day, April 26 includes Mrs. June Salsbury, chairman, Mrs. Wil- liam Meier, Mrs. Edward Hamil- ton and Mrs. Clare Lyke. Dr. Louis Hotchkiss gave a most interesting and informative talk on the "Advantages of Pre - School Examinations," explaining to the parents the fine points of child health in relation to child happiness and agility to adjust to school work and associations. The four essentials in .health were given as vision, teeth, diet, tonsils and inoculation •against commun- icable diseases. Following the business meet- ing, coffee and cake were served in the main hall. o_ Catching wolves, coyotes and bobcats now holds so little inter- est either as sport or pari -time occupation that the first quarter's bounty payments cost the con- servation department only $1,190. This is about half what it cost a year ago, and about a third of what it cost in 1940. No wolves were taken in the first quarter of this year. Only three of the coyotes bountied since January 1 were taken in the lower pen- insula; the other 53 together with 44 bobcats were taken by hunters and trappers north of the straits. Appoints New Club Committees On Thursday, May 6, the an- nual banquet and installation of new officers of the Women's club of the Rosedale Gardens Civic association took place. Over 66 members and guests were pres- ent. A brief business meeting was held, at which time, the resignation of Mrs. L. Hedden, as treasurer was read, and Mrs. W. Pellot was duly elected as the new treasurer. Mrs. William Peristy, retiring chairman, then turned the keys of the clubhouse over to Mrs. Ernest Bentley, who is the new chairman. Mrs.. Bent- ley then introduced the officers, Mrs. T. J. Lyndon, vice-chairman and program; Mrs. Verne Steele, secretary and Mrs. Pellot, treas- urer.. Mrs. Lyndon then announced that the program committee for the year would be Mrs. D. Pick- les, Mrs. C. H. Groth, Mrs. R. W. DePencier, Mrs. L. A. Steele, Mrs. Q. C. McClellan, Mrs. R. Carlson and Mrs. R. W. Mason. Mrs. Bentley announced the following chairmen of commit- tees: Mrs. A. S. James, hospital- ity; Mrs. V. LaMarre, book; Mrs. F. Merrion, publicity; Mrs. Wil- liam Peristy, historian; Mrs. J. Ahrens, welfare; and Mrs. G. Lile, keys. It was announced that a sur- vey would be made during the summer months to ascertain the wishes of the membership as to how often meetings should be held next fall and winter. It is believed that because of the fuel situation, meetings will have to be somewhat curtailed. The meeting was then adjourned, and the members enjoyed cards for the remainder of the evening. Door prizes were awarded to_ Mrs. Ernest Bentley and Mrs. John Ahrens, _and there were al- so prizes for each table. Although planned programs are finished for the spring season, the clubhouse will be open for the month of May for those wishing to use its facilities, on Thursday evenings. --o To Organize Archery Club A preliminary meeting for the organization of an Archery club in Rosedale Gardens was held on Thursday, April 2.9, at the home of Herbert R. MacGregor, where tentative plans and arrangements were discussed. A further meeting will be held at the home of Lester Bookout, 31824 Chicago boulevard, Rose- dale Gardens, on Thursday, May 13, at 8:30 p.m. At this meeting final plans will be made and new members received. As soon as possible thereafter targets will be erected on nearby ground already designated for this purpose and instruction and competition in the ancient sport of archery will begin. All those who would like to take up this relaxing and health- ful outdoor sport are urged to attend the next meeting to obtain full details. Your attendance at this meeting does not obligate ,you to join. Neither is it neces- sary to be an expert at archery. Full instruction in the elements of the sport will be provided.

If approved type drinking fountains are not in use and are not obtainable, a home- made fountain can be prepared. Two small holes, punched into the side of the open end of an empty tin can, will permit enough flow of water. The can should be punched about an eighth -inch from the open end, filled with water, and inverted on a saucer. The lips or outer edges of the saucer should be slightly deeper than the holes in the can. Water will seep out fast enough to sup- ply the chicks with a safe supply.

Mich. IF YOU TORE off one small corner of a dollar bill, that would give you some idea of the cost of the electricity used in manufacturing war products. Only 11/2 per cent of the total cost of war production, on the average, goes for electricity: 981/ per cent goes for materials, labor, plant and equipment, etc. Yet electricity plays a most important part in turning out tanks and planes and guns and ships, and the thousand - and -one other weapons of war. Without electric power, scarcely a wheel would turn in any factory or arsenal or shipyard in America. Not a piece of armament would be produced, not a bullet cast, not a shell turned. ,Electricity makes possible the machine tools used to build other machines. It powers the huge rollers in steel mills. It runs high-speed precision lathes, and giant presses, and drills, and milling and grinding machines, and motors for countless factory jobs. It melts alloy steels in the electric furnace—steels used for armor plate and tanks and guns. With induction heating, it point -hardens armor -piercing shells, and makes tough, wear -resistant parts for motors and airplane engines. Electric power is doing a vital war job at low cost. And it ■ is helping make possible new production records in thou- sands of plants all over the country—to shorten the war ■ and speed victory.
