Red Cross
News
The American Red Cross dis-
closed today that tons of comfort
supplies for service men over-
seas had recently cleared from
the United States. Doughnut
flour and shortening, sufficient
to make a million and a half
doughnuts for our men in North
Africa, were part of the huge
shipment; also 20 portable pianos
for tied Cross clubs and Red
Cross hospital recreation rooms
established in Tunisia.
The doughnut flour and coffee
are chiefly for use in the Red
Cross club mobiles now plying
the roads of North Africa to carry
comfort to American fighting
men in isolated flying fields or
other outposts. To maintain sup-
plies for the club mobiles, the
Red Cross expects to ship month-
ly 300 barrels of doughnut flour,
15,000 pounds of shortening and
several tons of coffee.
An indication of the tremend-
ous quantities of supplies being
sent for distribution to the Unit-
ed States fighting men by the
Red Cross is contained in a ship-
ment recently made to four posts
in the South Pacific. This ship-
ment included, among other
things, 51,000 packs of razor
blades; 50,000 tubes of dental
cream; 50,000 tooth brushes; 50,-
000 combs; 50,090 tubes of shav-
ing cream; 25,000 towels and
wash cloths; 50,000 sewing kits;
100,000 bars of soap; 50,000 packs
of chewing gum; 34,000 razors;
37.000 books; 600;000 cigarettes;
7,764 jig -saw puzzles; 50,000 cho-
colate bars.
Escort vessels of the British
and other allied navies are now
being equipped with Red Cross
emergency clothing kits for res-
cued seamen, identical to those
supplied to the U.S. Navy and
Coast Guard. Expansion of this
service, inaugurated last July,
was requested of the Red Cross
by the British Admiralty.
Including a dozen items for
personal use, slacks, underwear,
sweat -shirt, socks, sandals and
assorted toilet articles and acces-
sories, these kits have proved a
genuine boon to men rescued
from lifeboats and rafts after
days of hardship and torture.
The kits are assembled in New
York, Philadelphia, Washington,

The executive board of the
Rosedale P.T.A. met at the home
of Mrs. George Hamilton, pres-
ident, of Cranston avenue, on
Monday evening at 8:30 p.m.
The purpose of the meeting
was to discuss the final plans for
the recreation program to be held
at the school for a period of two
weeks, starting July 12. Mrs. G.
C. Cook who is chairman of this
project announced that various
sports equipment had been pur-
chased with the money in the
special fund set aside for this
purpose. A well rounded program
for all ages, kindergarten
through eighth grade has been
planned.
A discussion followed as to the
type of program desired by the
membership for the coming year,
and it was decided to leave the
planning of this up to the discre-
tion of the program committee.
How To Defeat
Black Market
In an effort 'to fully advise the
producers and consumers of
Wayne county as to the serious-
ness of the meat situation and to
seek the patriotic and complete
cooperation in efforts to make
available more meat supplies for
our fighting men, steps are be-
ing taken by the newly organized
war meat committee to inaugur-
ate a county -wide educational
campaign in the immediate fu-
ture, stated Chairman Matthew
H. Tinkham of Wayne yester-
day.
Not only does the committee
plan to get information to both
producers and consumers as to
the necessity of diverting to reg-
ular and legal channels every
pound of meat available for mar-
keting purposes, but the commit-
tee plans to provide county -wide
information pertaining to the re-
strictions that have been set up
on slaughter of livestock and the
permit system for slaughtering
that is now in force.
Chairman Tinkham stated that
he was convinced exceedingly
few residents of the county
know how extensive are the reg-
ulations set up for the control of
the marketing of meat in order
that our military needs are met
and that civilian requirements
are cared for.
The county war meat commit-
tee urges that people live within
their rationing points, that they
refuse to buy meat -from black
markets and that they destroy all
rationing points not .needed.

Church School
Proves Success
Ninety-two children were en-
rolled in the annual Community
Vacation school, which closed last
Friday at the Rosedale Gardens
Presbyterian church. The school
was planned as a venture in world
friendships for children and the
theme for the Primary and
Junior groups was "The Church
and America's Peoples."
Mrs. Verne D. Steele was lead-
er of the kindergarten group
which met eight mornings at the
Community House. Mrs. Steele
was assisted by Mrs. J. F. Morris,
Mrs. L. A. Steele, Mrs. William
Koenig, and Mrs. Von D. Pol-
hemus. Mrs. E. F. Bentley help-
ed with the enrollment of pupils
on the opening day. The kinder-
garten program included quiet
playing, outdoor play, rest pe-
riod, stories, conversation, music,
and handicraft.
The Primary department .in the
church basement was under the
direction of Mrs. Harvey Odgers
and Mrs. Don Pickles, with 38
children enrolled. Others who
assisted during the term were
Mrs. H. J. Olson, Mrs. Frederick
Brayton, and Mrs. W. C. Henrion.
Registrations on the opening day
were in charge of Mrs. Von D.
Polhemus. In addition to singing,
story telling, and outdoor games,
a number 'of interesting hand-
work projects were carried out.
The largest group of children
met in the Church auditorium
with Mrs. G. C. Butt as leader
of the older class and Mrs. W. H.
Culbertson in charge of the
younger group. Worship services
were conducted by groups of
pupils as well as by Rev. John
B. Forsyth, director of the school.
and Mrs. B. S. Nathanson served
as organist each morning. Mrs.
Culbertson was assisted by Mrs.
Tony Mepyans, Ila May Culbert-
son, Nancy Lou Pettibone and
Mrs. Nathanson. Barbara Stover
was the helper for Mrs. Butt's
Class. This section of the vaca-
tion school studied the many
races and nationalities which
make up America and gave par-
ticular emphasis to Jews and
Negroes.
An interesting feature of the
older group's program, was a
student council elected by the
pupils to make school policy, plan
the outdoor recreation and ap-
point various pupils committees.
Members of this council were
Mary Rolen, Secretary,; Wendell
Culbertson, Marilyn Nelson, Va-
lerie Perkins, Owen Hedden, and
Ruth Balkema. Under the direc-
tion of the council, a group of
pupils wrote and published a va-
cation school newspaper. Sally
Ann Holcomb was editor of this
paper.

Last Day To Get
Dog Licenses
Today is the last day to reg-
ister ,your dog without paying a
double dog'tax. Fees automatic-
ally double after July 1. To date
there have been 375 dogs regis-
tered with dog pound master,
Charles Cansfield, at the town-
ship hall.
It is estimated that there are
over 1000 dogs. within the town-
ship limits and all those not reg-
istered are subject to impound-
ing and in order for owners to re-
lease them an extra fee must be
paid at the pound.
Township officials also warn
operators of dog kennels that
they must 'secure licenses to oper-
ate their kennels. All licenses
must be secured at the township
hall on Five Mile road.,

Farmers around Livonia will
have a short strawberry crop this
year, it was reported in reliable
circles this week.
One farmer reported that be-
cause of the heavy spring rains
that his strawberries would not
last more than two weeks. The
ordinary crop yields for about
three weeks.
Because of the short crop, the
price is held high, being some-
thing more than twice the cost of
last year.
One producer of strawberries
said that many of the berries were
rotting in the field before ripen-
ing. Many fields were covered
with water during the polinization
season, too, which prevented
buds from maturing into berries.
The general price of strawber-
ries at the farms is between 30
and 35 cents.
Few berries were shipped into
this market from other produc-
ing sections because of the poor
rail transportation.
:. ,�, 1 In
State To Help
At the complaint of Justice of
the Peace Joe Grace, sheriff's of-
ficers and state police are inves-
tigating the dumping of offal in
the branch of the Rouge river
that crosses Seven Mile road near
Inkster road.
Residents in that area have
complained for some time of the
odor arising from the river and
inspection revealed that it had
frequently been flooded with
barrels of offal dumped by some-
one in that neighborhood. A
complaint has also been made to
the stream pollution department
of the Department of Conserva-
tion in Lansing who it is hoped
will take immediate action on the
problem.
Mom's Club Meets
Tuesday, July 6
All members of the Mom's
club of Livonia township, wheth-
er they are active or not, are
asked to remember that the next
meeting of the club will be held
at the township hall on Tuesday,
July 6 at 2 p.m.
This is a very important meet-
ing, as the election of officers
will be held, and members are
especially urged to make an ef-
fort to attend.

f' The more 1 read about it, Judge, the more I
realize the tactics and requirements of this war
are as different from the one I fought in 25
years ago as night is from day."
"Yes, and I canngive you an example of
how true that is, Fred. In World War I the
chief uses of alcohol produced for tvar pur-
poses were found in smokeless powder, medi-
cal supplies and chemical warfare materials.
In this war the need for this product is far
more vital because it is also used as a fuel to
propel tornedoec- fn make shattexDrocf zlnsr
for airplane windshields and instrument cov-
ers, to make lacquers used in camouflaging
equipment and as a base for synthetic rubber
needed for tires, gas masks, paratroop equip-
ment and dozens of other things.
"Every time I think of it, Fred, I realize
how fortunate we were in having a beverage
distilling industry in existence when war
broke out... ready and willing to convert
100% to the production of this critically
needed war product. I'm mighty sure boot-

Between Chicago and Joy
A century ago a small-town
lawyer and politician noticed
that many people were :poor and
few were rich. He did not get
distressed over it, or . want to
make over the world. Said he:
"That some should be rich shows
that others may become rich, and
hence is just encouragement to
industry and enterprise. I don't
believe in a law to prevent a man
from getting rich; it would do
more harm than good." The law-
yer's name was Abraham Lin-
coln.

the most important thing is to
let the public know .you are do-

WATCHERS F THE SKY
Night and day, at lonely outposts in northern;
,Michigan., thousands of air spotters voluntarily
undergo hardship and loss of sleep to protect our
industrial areas from bombing raids.
They rarely get into the headlines. Often they
watch patiently through the hours without seeing
or hearing a plane. But the duty they so faithfully,
perform is vital. In case of air attack it will be
their traii-ied eyes and ears that detect the approach
of Axis bombers.
A telephone stands ready in every spotter's
post. With the words "Army plash" the spotter
gets an immediate connection with the nearest
army information center. And if the aircraft he
reports cannot be identified as friendly, fighter
planes roar into the air at once to intercept the
enemy. At the same time all Civilian Defense
centers in, the threatened area are warned by tele.
phone to prepare for a raid.
Citizens of ,Michigan who sleep soundly in their
beds at home owe a debt of gratitude to the
Aircraft Warning ,Service.

Thousands of tons of
e
for tanks and ships and guns-
®: another job Electricity is doing
to he►o win the war
A white-hot ingot of steel weighing several tons shoots
along on conveyors in the rolling mill, passing between
giant rolls that squeeze it to the desired shape. The
whole operation is mechanical: Powerful electric
motors turn the rollers that guide the steel on its way.
Electric motors of five thousand horsepower operate
the huge sheet mills and the great "flying shears" that
snip off chunks of steel like paper.
Electricity opens and closes the doors of the open-
heart:i furnaces where the molten steel is refined. Elec-
tricity operates the furnace fans and valves and a
variety of auxiliary equipment. Electricity runs the
125 -ton crane. Electricity picks up the 175 -ton ladle
that pours the molten steel into molds. Electricity
drives the 200 -ton "stripper," which lifts the mold in
a pair of giant "ice -tongs" and pun -hes the ingot
from the mold with a huge plunger.
Without electric power, the flow of armor plate for
today's tanks and ships and guns would be only a
dribble. This is just one more job that electricity is
doing to help win the war. The Detroit Edison Com-
pany.
Electricity is not rationed. But its production requires
coal and railroad transportation. Don't waste it!
