Miss Emma DuBord, county demonstration agent will be the instructor. The newsboys of the township have passed out registration blanks to all their customers to obtain new blood donors.

Not far from the war -boom cities and the great naval bases ,of the eastern seaboard lies an isolated section of North Carolina which has been called our "most vulnerable coast." Along the North Carolina `'banks" from Currituck to Carteret county, fishermen and farmers go quietly about their business under the thread of war from the sea. For here the war has been moved in. Along the beaches, constantly guarded, are Army, Coast Guard, and Naval and civ- ilian Air Patrols, while blimps— flying inland over the lakes and the marshes—scatter flocks of wild geese and swan. On the mainland, watch towers for air- plane spotters are springing up in increasing numbers. Along with the war, the Red Cross, too, has moved in. Away from city chapters with their manifold services, the Red Cross is bringing timely instrution to a population isolated by the na- ture of the terrain. These sturdy descendants of our earliest Eng- lish settlers have had to help themselves against wind, tide and accident; now, those who have learned about first aid and home nursing can carry on with bet- ter means. Emergencies have always been with them, apd few hardships brought by the war are unknown to these North Carolinians. Ships have been torpedoed off their - (Continued on Page 8) Obituaries MRS.

Water Department which was organized in August of 1940 for the purpose of extend- ing water service in the Town- ship has been trying for the past year to get priorities on materials for the further extension of lat- eral mains in districts which are thickly populated and in which it is difficult to obtain wells. A priority number has recently Under orders of the township board and the planning commis- sion Building Inspector Luther Whitely will start immediate en- forcement of the Livonia Build- ing Code and Zoning Ordinance. Since the adoption of these two ordinances many violations have occured but it has been the policy of township officials to treat the cases lightly and give the viola- tors a chance to correct their wrongs. This policy hasn't proved effective since violations are be- coming more evident so it was determined that strict enforce- ment was the only answer. Last week eight local residents were called before the Planning Commission and given warning that if immediate action wasn't taken on their violations that pro- secution would be started immed- iately. According to Whitely the .violations are all of a different nature. Schools Ready For Opening The opening date for 'several of the schools throughout the town- ship will be of interest to both parent and pupil as well. Livonia Center, Rosedale and Elm schools will all open on Tues- day, September 7, at the usual hour. Pierson school expects to open on September 8, providing their new unit is ready. All schools in the township expect a record enrollment due to the fact that so many defense workers have moved into this vicinity in the past few months.

After the dinner, there will be a short business meeting, after which Mrs. Howard Anderson, who has spent many years as a missionary in India, will speak. As India is the foreign missionary - topic for the year, Mrs. Ander- son's talk will be timely. Those who have heard her speak will not want to miss this, and those who have not heard her will tho- roughly enjoy her talk. Mrs. Irvin McWethy will be in charge of the devotional for the evening.

Thousands of tons of fuel are required every day to produce the electricity sent out over a network of transmission lines to factories and stores and offices and homes. That is one reason why electricity, is a war material. When you save elec- tricity you save coal, and transportation, and manpower needed for war produc- tion. i There is no shortage of generating machinery in this area, and electricity is not rationed. But—use it carefully as you would any other vital war material. Pru- dent, economical use of electricity is a patriotic obligation today. Help conserve electricity by reducing your use. The De- J troit Edison Company, Wednesday, August 25; 1343 THE LIVONIAN Page 7 Peaches Both High and Scarce This is one year when peaches ARE PEACHES! Frequently in past years growers in and around here have sold peaches at such a low price that they have barely been able to pay for the costs of their spraying. They sprayed and cultivated their trees this year—and then the rains came—and now that the harvest has started, there is barely a fifth of the usual crop. The result is that there are practically no peaches on the market and the prices have gone skyward. Peaches are selling anywhere from $6 a bushel to $10 a bushel, the highest price ever paid for peaches in this part of the state. But even at that price, the 1 peach growers are going to take a big loss. as the small crops, even at the high prices, are not going to pay for even a .part of the spraying costs, say nothing about the costs of cultivating, taxes and all the other things that go into the costs of growing peaches. So if .you have a can or two of peaches left over from last .year's canning, you'd better save them for next winter ---:and then some winter day make your neighbors feel jealous by saying that ,you had some canned peaches for dinner! On his own, man is not an especially fast creature—in the water, at -top speed he swims 100 yards at the rate of less than four miles .an hour, while some fish travel at the rate of 80 miles an hour; on land he can race 100 yards at the rate of 21 miles an hour, while some animals do bet- ter than 60 miles an hour. s RUSTIC PICNINC TABLES 51b.

In peace time, as in war, these counties have furnished a large percentage of sailors to the U.S. Navy, the Coast Guard, and the Merchant Marine. Scarcity, too, has always ex- isted, aggravated now by war- time needs. Remote from rail- roads, with few bus lines and with roads often made impass- able by rain and high tides, the inaccessibility of this land has imposed on its inhabitants a sterner, more frugal existence than in populated areas near the centers of supply. In Hyde and Dare counties there is no rail- road; in Currituck only one short branch. Most of the food and other provisions must be brought to Roanoke Island from the mainland. As in other parts of rural America, the most serious lack has always been doctors, nurses and hospitals; and this lack has been rendered more acute by the war. Roanoke Island is world- famous as the home of the six- teenth century "Lost Colony." Yet one physician, Dr. W. W. Johnston, serves the island and the whole of Dare county as well. Sometimes a pharmacist's mate from a Coast Guard station is called in for medical help. In Hyde county there are only two doctors, one health officer, no graduate nurses. Near Coinjock, in Currituck county on the In- tra -Coastal Waterway, a white flag is hung on the mailbox for the doctor, and a red flag for the nurse. Into this breach the Red Cross has sent itinerant home nursing and first aid instructors. With few means of announcing their services—telephones and news- papers are scarce—they have had to promote the program in wide- ly scattered settlements, often driving a long route around. But in rural areas the "grapevine" works, and women came in from farms and seashore. Here was something which taught them how to help themselves, and that was what these people wanted. Classes were held ir... _school- houses, Home Demonstration clubrooms, town halls, a Masonic Authorized Sales Headquar- ters for stamps and bonds FARMINGTON 1: X7 1: THEATRE ,C Wednesday and Thursday September 1, 2 FREE DISHLEASDIES'HE "Seven Sweethearts" with KATHRYN GRAYSON and "Journey Into Fear" with oxSON WELLES —Free Dishes for the Ladies— Friday and Saturday Sept. 3 and 4 "Chatterbox" with JOE E.

All the classroom furnishings. had to be collected -a chair here, a bed there, and sheets, blankets and pillows wherever extra ones could be found. With the knowledge they have gained through Red Cross in- struction, the natives of North Carolina's shores are looking for- ward to a time when lack of health education and medical facilities will no longer jeopardize their lives in peace or war. To these particular Americans the Red Cross is fulfilling an obliga- tion when it serves them accord- ing to their needs and the lives they live.
