A "Doggy" Plage
Livonia is a very "doggy"
place. If you are a resident of
this fine area .you now have an-
other reason to :be proud of
hanging your hat in this part of
Wayne county. You may take
this literally or figuratively, but
in either case there is basis for
the statement that Livonia is a
truly "doggy" place.
If there is . any doubt in your
mind about the doggy aspect of
this story we ask that you talk
with any township official and
we know that they will bear us
out. It all started way back when
the township board decided
something should be done about
all of the wild, dogs that were
running loose in these parts.
It was estimated that there
were 500 or 600 dogs in the
township and that the best way
to control them would be by li-
cense. Soon after a dog ordi-
nance was passed and then came
July 1, the last day for local res-
idents to get their licenses. On
that day alone, over 500 dogs
were registered and tagged, and
when the day was over it was
found there were over 1,000 dogs
in the township.
Since metal tags and licenses
were ordered for only 1,000,dpgs
it 'became evident that. all res-
idents couldn't comply with the
new ordinance so an extension
has been 'granted to those dog
owners who so far have been un-
able to comply with the law.
The last day for registering
dogs is now August 1 and new
tags and licenses will be avail-
able on the 19th of this month.
Don't forget that even though
you haven't a license or have a
license for your dog under the
ordinance no dogs can now run
loose and those caught will be
impounded by the dog catcher.

Priority Needed Record Crowd At
p
For Telephones �G°°d ��w� 3 4th Celebration
New telephone service install-
ations will be subject to :priori-
ties, many probably for the dur=
ation, under a plan approved by
the Michigan Public Service com-
mission and announced today.
The Commission approved a
request ;by the Michigan Bell
Telephone company for author-
ity to set up priorities on new
installations for those whose ser-
vice Ipplications are not within
the preferred categories_ prev-
iously established by the - War
Production Board.
John R. MacLachlan, Livonia
manager, said the No. 1 priority
goes to thebusiness • user mov-
ing to a new address in the
same community, No. 2 to the
residence user moving to a new
address, No. 3 to applicants for
new business service, and No. 4
to those applying for new res-
idence service.
He emphasized, however, that,
under `the new plan, applications
for service essential to the pros-
epition of the war and to the
public health or security get first
call on new installations.
In approving the company's
plan, the Commission said that.
"restrictions imposed by the War
Production Board respecting use
of critical materials have made it
necessary to delay many tele-
phone installations," pointing out
that 17,100 applications for serv-
ice throughout the company's
territory are bein gheld up for
lack of facilities. In some in-
stances, it added; "the delay will
Probably be for the duration of
the critical" materials situation."
The Commission also said that
the "company's obligation to fur-
nish service is dependent upon
its ability to secure and retain,
without unreasonable expense,
suitable facilities and rights for
.the construction and maintenance
of the necessary circuits and
equipment."

Do you wake up in the middle
of the night shuddering at the
Picture of the number of meals
you will consume in the course
of a year? Red Cross Canteen
workers met that dream walking
around in broad daylight, when
thie- army arrived in Wayne
county recently.
For the Red Cross, this meant
13. days of mobile feeding. The
first two days put four , mobile
canteen units to 'work, then all
seven mobiles rallied around for
the 'next 11 days.
The five branch mobiles were
staffed with canteen representa-
tives from, every one of the 22
branches. The women worked in
two crews, one from 9 a.m. to
3 p.m. but earnest workers con-
tinued through from 9 a.m. to 8
p.m. For the • County Canteen
workers this meant leaving home
at a very early hour.
Approximately 1,385 volun-
teers staffed the seven mobiles
in the course of the 13 days, add-
ed up 8,350 hours and 118,384
servings.
Across the mobile counter was
handed 1640 gallons- of coffee;
23 gallons of tea; 1,600 half-pint
battles of milk, 485 gallons of
buttermilk.; 1375 gallons of
orange ade; 50,736 bottles of soft
drinks; 8,700 dozen of doughnuts;
1142 sandwiches.
Mrs. Myron J. Anderson, chair-
man of the Canteen Corps of Li-
vonia township was called by
the Detroit- chapter to report
with her unit for work on very
short notice. They were assigned
a mobile kitchen which they kept
going for 11 days, from 8:30 a.m.
to 9:30 p.m.
They served 330 hours in ad-
dition to the chairman's 176
hours. The following local wo-

The residents of Rosedale Gar-
dens held their eleventh annual
Fourth of July celebration on
Sunday, July 4. The program
started at 1:30 p.m. with the
children's parade, led by the
Boy Scouts, Cubs,Girl Scouts and
Brownies, and followed by sev-
eral children of the community
in .costume. The costumes were

most patriotic and the prettiest.
Following this, the contests for
the children were held, followed
by the adult contests.
At 2:30 .p.m. the traditional
ball game 'between the East and
West sides of the subdivision was

the plaque in honor of the men
in the armed- services took place
at 5:3 p.m. The ceremony opened
with the invocation given by the
Rev. John B. Forsyth, followed
by the national ant em. The
World's Fair, Chevrolet Chorus,
under the direction of David

Mrs. Louis D. Steele, ,president
of the Rosedale Gardens Civic
association made the dedication
of 'the plaque and it was un-
veiled.. Father John Contway
gave the benediction. -
Mr. Steele complimented Roger
Cooper who planned and de-
signed the plaque for his excel-
lent work, and it was also an-
nounced that if the nameor
names of any, members of the
armed services were .omitted, to
call it to the attention of Car-
son Johnston or Mrs. G. C.
Cook and they would be, placed

A. picnic supper was then held
in the grove in the rear of the
community house.
At about 9 p.m. before a rec-
ord crowd, Tim Doolittle and
his gang performed. With him
was an excellent ladder act, and
Don Amato "The Human Seal."
The show was a fitting climax to
a very pleasant and delightful
day, and all who worked on the

ed make the whole day so much
fun are to be very greatly com-
plimented.

<, to keep things cool: If you notice a "snow -man" form-
ing inside—heavy- frost on the cooling coils—it's time
to get busy and defrost the refrigerator. That layer o£
frost is costing youoney: It means that the refriger=

economical operation, the motor should run as little

It's only human to keep "putting -off" the chore of
defrosting—especially in summer, when ice cubes are
in big demand and you hesitate to have your refriger-
ator out of commission even for a few hours. But see
that it is done regularly. Do not use an ice pick or a
sharp instrument to remove ice; this sometimes punc-
tures the refrigerating coils. After defrosting, wash the
whole interior (coils, shelves, trays, etc.) with luke-
warm water and mild soap. unless the motor of your
refrigerator is hermetically sealed, have it oiled and
inspected periodically. Remember that your refriger-
ator must last for the duration. Treat it accordingly!

A Nazi Mark VI tank is shown plowing through a house in this photo
from a German propaganda magazine. This is one of the very few good
pictures of this tank to reach America. Most of the other pictures show
the tank after it has tangled with Allied equipment, been knocked out of
action, damaged, and captured. Note here that its long high velocity
gun is turned back over its tail to avoid injury.

Warns Drivers
Of New Law
May Lose License
If Violated
Because loss of the right to
drive may seriously affect war
production, the Michigan State
Safety Commission is enlisting
the cooperation of 1,700 industrial
plants to acquaint workers with
certain new provisions of the
Financial Responsibility 1 a w
which takes effect on July 30,
1943.
Thereafter every motorist in-
volved in an accident resulting
in injury or death must make a
written report to the Secretary of
State within ten days, and every
motorist in such accident who
cannot post cash or a bond in an
amount up to $11,000 or who does
not carry acceptable liability in-
surance stands in danger of los-
ing both his driver's license and
registration certificate by man-
datory action of the Secretary of
State within thirty days of the
accident.
Maxwell Halsey, executive sec-
retary of the Safety Commission
said the new law should aid
measurably in improving the
highway safety factor and save
manpower for war production.
Last year traffic accidents in
Michigan, he stated, cost war
production a loss of 5,000,000 man
days, or the equivalent of nearly
1,500 fighter planes.
"Such a staggering loss must
not be repeated," Mr. Halsey said.
"The Safety Commission is cur-
rently engaged in a statewide
campaign to reduce that loss and
we are thankful for the help the
new Financial Responsibility Law
will provide."
Every person dependent upon
private automotive transportation
should know the law, which is
explained in a booklet prepared
by Secretary of State Herman H.
Dignan and a copy of which may
be obtained at any gasoline sta-
tion or at Department of State
branch offices.
Commenting on the objectives
of the law, Mr. Halsey said, "The
Legislature obviously passed this
law for the protection of the pub-
lic generally. Most of us have
had direct or indirect experience
with the reckless and irrespon-
sible driver who cares nothing
about the safety or property of
others. After July 30 this small
minority of drivers will either
stand the financial consequences
of its misbehavior or get off the
road.
"It should be emphasized that
the new law in no way penalizes
the careful or responsible driver.
In fact, if there were no accidents
there would be no need for the
law. Unfortunately, there are
accidents. Unfortunately, too,
there have been drivers without
regard for the property rights of
others because they had nothing
to lose. They can lose something
now—their privilege to drive an
automobile.
"But we do not want that to
happen. We want every Michigan
motorist to keep his driver's li-
cense and car registration plates
because without transportation
Michigan's contribution to the
war effort will suffer."
Conscience is the reason, em-
ployed about questions of right
and wrong, and accompanied with
the sentiments of approbation or
condemnation.—Whewell.
