Music was furnished by Bill Up - ton's "Swingadiers" from 9 to 1. Eighty-seven fans were present for the opening of the first inning and some pretty fancy pitchin' and catchin' was seen by those who sat on the sidelines—that they really put their heart and soul into the activities was ev- idenced by the fact that the 144 bottles of "coke" were all con- sumed by 12:30. Jim Baker, Bud McDowell and assistants carried out a very attractive baseball motif in connection with the dec- orations and George Valrance was seen buzzing around getting t h e dancing started, selling tickets and cokes and seeing to everything in general Others, too numerous to mention were very much in evidence; both from Rosedale Gardens and Plymouth. President, Barbara Butt and her able corps of officers wish to thank all the committee chair- men for their fine cooperation, together with Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Dowell, Mr. and Mrs. Maskell and Mr. and Mrs. Valrance and anyone else who assisted in mak- ing the party the success that it was. 0 Time Short For Dog Registrations Residents of the township were warned this week that there are only four weeks left in which to register and secure licenses for their dogs before the fees double on the first of July. To date only ;75 dogs have been registered and there is an estimated 950 dogs within the township limits. Every effort has been made by township clerk Harry S. Wolfe to inform resident of' the new dog ordinance which is now effective and requires that every dog within Livonia have a license by the first of July or be impounded in the township dog pound. Large posters were erected last week -end to further inform res- idents of the necessity of having their dogs registered. Registra- tions may be made any time dur- ing the week at the township hall on Five Mile road. The annual picnic, which will be potluck, of the Women's Aux- iliary of the Rosedale Gardens Presbyterian church will be held this (Wednesday) evening in the church basement, at 6:30 p.m. All members of the Auxiliary are urged to attend, and bring their own dishes and silver.

Hold Graduation Ceremonies The May festival and gradua- tion exercises were held at Stark school an Tuesday evening, June 1 at 8 p.m. with nearly 200 pupils participating. Seating arrange- ments were made for 180 persons, but due to the large attendance, the double room was filled to capacity. Mr. Rossman, school principal, regretted that many were unable to see :the program at all. Following the program, a re- ception was held for the grad- uates with over 60 invited guests attending. The lunch room was attractively decorated with the class colors of pink and blue, and refreshments were served by the P.T.A. Those receiving diplomas were: Jerry Klump, Joann Beck, Joan Budde, Richard Foisie, Rob- ert Campsall, Marion Lawson, Joan Dipboye, John Kilpatrick, Alvin McKellar, Melvin Savage, Donna Jane Campbell and Henry George. The class wishes to thank the members of the P.T.A. who served the refreshments for them. It never rains but it pours— after going from April 12 with- out responding to an alarm, the Livonia Fire department re- 9ponded to two fires within two hours on June 1—at 3 p.m. they were called to extinguish a small blaze caused by a short in a wall plug at the home' of J. Douglas, 27905 West Six Mile road and be- fore the men had the truck back- ed into the fire hall another call came in to go to the home of George Cook at 31818 West Chi- cago boulevard, a short in the refrigerator was quickly taken care of. For any department to go 49 days without having to re- spond to a call . certainly shows evidence of the care that is taken throughout the township with re- gard to fire hazards and the L)wnship as a whole is to be con- gratulated. The improvement of the un- derstanding is for two ends; first, our own increase of knowledge; secondly, to enable us to deliver that knowledge to others.—Locke.

W X W Nn Delinquency Nevi `Flak' Trai'nLQ; In China Dr. Yi-fang Wu, president of Ginling college at Chentu, China, was the luncheon guest of Mrs. Anthony Matulis here last Tues- day, and from her former class- mate at the University of Mich- igan, Mrs. Matulis was able to obtain extensive information on the plight of the Chinese people. Madame Wu is on a mission to the United States for the Chinese government and spoke before the general assembly of the Pres- byterian church last Monday night on the same program with Wendell Willkie, Madame Wu was hostess to Mr. Willkie when the republican candidate for presi- dent visited her college a year ago. Madame Wu told Mrs. Matulis of the atrocities committed by the Japanese against the Chinese people, but she also revealed the great admiration the Chinese have for the American people. This good will, she said, has been created partly through the education of the Chinese in this country and partly by the mis- sions established there by the Americans. One of the most interesting points brought out by Madame Wu was the statement that juvenile delinquency is almost non-existent in China, due large- ly to the filial piety of the Chinese people. The children in China have a reverence for their father, and will do no wrong - because the blame for the wrong falls on the father instead of the child. 0 Toda-y's baby faces only eight per cent the danger of dying from tuberculosis that the baby of 1900 had.

Dr. Cavell said the rabies case occured at a farm about five miles west of the city when a small puppy was bitten either by a stray dog or by a wild fox. Three weeks later, the dog was taken to the veterinary for atten- tion and the complaint was diagnosed as rabies and the dog destroyed. The farmer reported that he .had heard a commotion in the barn lot and had discovered the dog bitten. Later, when the pup- py began to choke and refused to eat, he thought there was some- thing in its throat and attempt- ed himself to dislodge the obstruc- tion. He and his two children both suffered scratches, and are noir taking treatment for rabies them- selves. Choking and coughing is a symptom of rabies, Dr. Cavell said. 0 Tuberculosis can be in an ad- vanced stage before any symp- toms appear. So the search for the disease must be made among apparently healthy persons, ac- cording ccording to the Michigan Tuber- culosis association. If Hitler wius, the issue for you will be living itself and not just the cost of liv- ing.

"I can't think of anything else you'll need • for your Victory garden, Judge ... you've got pretty nearly everything." " I think so, too, ,john. Ever get your asparagus patch going?" "I gave that up last year, judge. -Tried it six years in a row with no luck. Just haven't got the right soil, I guess?" "Well, I think you're wise, John... use keeping on trying things you know won' z work. Just Iike prohibition. State-wide pr;- hibition has been tried in this countr"7 seventy-two times in the last ninety y .,ars. It has been. adopted forty-seven times in the past- thirty-three years and discarded e ,,-erywhere except in three states. Same thing was tried in eight provinces in Canada and in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia but it was an admitted failure al id universally abandoned. "The reason is prohibition does not lrohibit. All you get is bootleg liquor in- stead of legal liquor, plus no end of crime and corruption."
