Home My WebLink AboutLivonian1943_0922Department Has Two Calls Dirty smoke pipes in Rosedale ,Gardens made it necessary to call the fire department. to the, home of Mr. Clarke, 9831 Arden on Monday afternoon and again on Tuesday morning at the office lot Dr. George Timpona. No dam- age was caused at either place except that the ,doctor singed his hair a little when. the burner backfired. In each instance the outcome could have assumed tragic conclusions which prompts the fire .department to again call the attention of the residents of the township to the fact that each pipe in your home should be examined and cleaned if nec- essary. It will save you a lot of trouble and probably loss, if tak- en care of before the fire. Check the following hazards that are found in every home: 1, ,The worn electric cord; the defective fiat iron. 2 .Faulty furnace pipes and flues — repair them now. 3. Matches — Keep them away from children and in metal con- tainers. 4. The .rubbish pile in the cellar, attic, closet and` backyard. yard. 5. Careless disposal of cigar- ettes. 6. Gasoline and kerosene — never use them in the home for any purpose. 7. Flammable wooden shingles —replace them* with fire -retard- ant roofing. 8. Wooden ash' baskets - put ashes in metal containers. Those of you that live on a farm or in the less congested area of the township check and in-- spect all your buildings — it is a real investment in future safe- ty. _Livestock equipment, barns, sheds, the house, and the farm family will all be endangered unless by careful inspection these fire hazards are provided against; lightning which can be rendered harmless by proper protective devices; defective heating appa- ratus and chimneys; matches and smoking are very- dangerous if your premises are not cleaned up regularly; keep on the look- out for sparks from bonfires, chimneys, locomotives and grass fires; spontaneous combustion, likely to occur in any neglected corner. While inspecting for all these hazards see that there are enough , extingiiishers, water tanks and pails ready for an emergency. • Prevent where you can and protect where you must. It can happen to you. If you think the above suggestions are just a bit of idle chatter here are some figures for you to digest that will take your breath away: these figures are taken from State Fire Marshall's reports for 1941: Annual fire losses by causes: Cause. Defective chimney and flues; No: of fires, 50;000; loss $11,400;000:00; sparks . on roofs 60;000, loss k9,500,000.00; over- heated heaters 46;000, loss $14,- 250,000.00; rubbish 23,000; loss $1,60-0,000.00; hot ashes and coals 15;000, loss $2,250,000.00; smok- ing 125;040, loss $16,750,000.00; electrical 62;000, loss $23,300,- 000.00; lightning 40;000, loss $9,- 500,000.00. These are jus a few of the causes and coupled with various other causes -totaled 736,000 fires in 1941 that caused a loss of $325,- 000,000. Can you afford to take on any of such a loss as noted above (Last week's, this week's and next week's articles were compiled from data submitted by the National Fire Protection Association).

The committee, in charge of Mrs. Ernest Bentley were: Mrs. Verne Steele, Mrs. F. Merrion, Mrs. H. - ,C. : C. Burton, Mrs. V. LaMarre, Mrs. H. Olsen, Mrs. J. G. Lile, and. Mrs. Wm. Peristy, Mrs.= T. Lyn= don. Following the dinner, a very brief business meeting was held with Mrs. Ernest Bentley, presi- dent, presiding. It was decided that because of the fuel situa- tion, to have planned programs for the first and third Thursdays of the month only. The first Thursday will combine the busi- ness meeting and a book review, and the third Thursday will be a' special speaker or other event. On the other Thursdays mem- bers may meet .at the club to play cards, sew or just gather to chat. At the conclusion of the meet- ing, the group met upstairs, where a musical program was heard. Mrs. Lloyd Nelson sang two numbers, and Mrs. Edgar Barrett, violinist, played for the group. Mrs. Fred ' Vandevender was at the piano. Colored pictures were then shown of flower arrangements, with a recorded descriptive talk and music accompanying them. They were very greately enjoyed and appreciated by the . members present. Plans are being made to put on a play in November. Casting will be done shortly. If you have the desire to be an actress, call Mrs. D. Pickles; and she will be glad to talk to you about it. :Mrs. Myron Anderson, Livonia township canteen chairman, Mrs. G. Zobel, Mrs. B. Sinclair and Mrs. Edwaard Zopff, mobile can- teen captains, attended the mo- bile captains meeting at Red Cross headquarters in Detroit on Monday , .September 13. Mrs. Anderson also attended the monthly meeting of all the Wayne county canteen chair- men. Mrs. Myron Anderson, Mrs. G. Zo�bel, Mrs. B. Sinclair, Mrs. A. Ault and Mrs. E. M. Zopff met at the home of Mrs. Zapff an Sept. 9 to pian the .staff supper and talk over other phases of the canteen work connected with the Blood Bank held recently. at Stark school. The Livonia branch of the ' American Red Cross takes this o-pportunity to thank the Board of Education of the Stark school. for making -the school' available to' the mobile blood bank, which was held Thursday, September 18. It is the general opinion that Red Cross work is solely a wo- man's job, but often as in this blood bank, the branch is in- debted to a large group of men for the success of its efforts. To the following men goes our sin- cere appreciation for their co- operation: Mr. Rossman, Kreger, Chas. Wolfram, Whitley, Louis Le Bar, Louis Rhoads, Art Zim- merman and John D. Kiel Mr. Kiel was the 000th donor for our branch and was presented with $5.00 worth of defense stamps. - One hundred eighty-seven; pints of blood was collected Thursday, making a total of one thousand and eighty-nine pints collected by our branch for the armed forces in a period of a year and a half. ,The Boy Scouts of the Stark area were invaluable during the day, clearing the •building for the mobile, running errands and af- ter getting the building ready for school the next morning. A twenty hour motor mechan- ical class, preparatory for motor corp driving, will begin Monday evening September 27 at 8 o'clock (Continued on page 2) Everyone is invited to the Millionaires Party Sponsored by the Auxiliary Police Redf ord Man To ,Address P. T. A. The first fall meeting of the P.T.A. of the Rosedale school will be held on Wednesday eve- ning, October 6 at 8 p. in. at the school. Mrs. G. C. Cook, program chair- man, announces that C. H. Blan- chard who is the boy's councillor at the .Redford .high school will be the speaker. His subject will be "`Problems- of- Youth in War Time."' As the theme for the year in P.T.A. work is "Then Conquer We must," this problem on juve- nile delinquency will be in line and should be of interest to all parents, especially those of 'teen age children. The problem of the commun- ity Hallowe'en party will also be discussed. At a recent board meeting, this problem was talked over, and because of the diffi- culty of getting the candy and other items that went to make this affair so much fun for the children in past years, it was thought that the party should be forgotten for the duration. How- ever, it will be up to the mem- bers, of the organization whether this is done or not. Remember, this meeting is on Wednesday evening, Octaber 6 and all persons interested are in- vited to attend, whether they are members of the Parent Teachers Association or not. 0 BIG DEMAND FOR STRAW Farmers in the straw -produc- ing areas will be urged to make straw available to strawboard manufacturers to enable them to keep up with very heavy require- ments for shipping containers for military forces and essential ci- vilian uses. The War Production Board is cooperating with the War Food Administration in a program designed to increase straw collection in midwestern states. Due "to heavy rains and flood conditions this spring, much of the available straw crop was Bu An Extra destroyed. State and County 1 War Boards are expected to as- sist strawboard manufacturers in 1 locating available straw.

In -the four years since. the out- break of war in September, 1939, American Red Cross production workers have made 24 million garments for foreign war relief. That stupendous quantity of clothes, knitted and sewed, rang- ing from tiny hand -worked baby garments to women's heavy woolen dresses, has helped civil- ian war victims of 20 nationali- ties. At the present time, large crates stencilled with Russian characters are being packed with warm garments in Red Cross warehouses. They will help the Alliance of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies of the Soviet Union in its task of caring for war orphans and other civilians frrom areas devastated in the bitter fighting of the past two years. Last year swift emergency aid was sent to the liberated civil- ians of North Africa, and in the Middle East refugee Poles and Greeks proudly displayed dress- es, sweaters and other garments bearing American Red Cross chapter labels. A great flow of chapter -pro- duced clothing worth more than 19 million dollars, went to Great Britain while that country was under attack, to clothe not only British men, women and chil- dren bombed from their homes, but also large numbers of alien refugees who had reached Eng- land from Europe. Help was sent swiftly to the liberated people of North Africa, when it was discovered there was a 'great shorage of children's garments. During the occupation the country had been drained of every kind of cotton material, and even the people who could afford to buy them could not obtain even the most necessary "The Friendliest Atmosphere in Northwest Detroit" Lahser Road at Grand River REDFORD OLD TIMER TAVERN LIQUOR - BEER - WINE Modern and Old -Time Dancing Fri., Sat., Sun.

To tide over this emergency until mate- rial could be supplied through normal commercial channels, 25;000 layettes were shipped to the liberated regions. It was a real emergency, but fortunately small garments patiently knitted and stitched by Red Cross vol- unteers all over the United States through the long hot sum- mer of 1942, were ready for just such a call, which could not have been filled in any other way for many months. Through the past fourth year of war American women have continued to stitch and knit.

Just like the bootleggers did during the 14 years when liquor was sold illegally in- stead of legally.

The Best Place to Buy 100 POUNDS OF COAL you didn't know you used last month! Thousands of tons of coal are burned in our large steam generating plants every day. Here nearly all the electricity for this area is produced. And when you turn on an electric switch in your home, you are actually burning coal ... coal that has been trans- ported by boat and by rail, coal that represents vital production and man- power. Coal and transportation are war materials. Electricity, too, is a war mate- rial. It should not be wasted. There is no shortage of generating ma- chinery in this area. Detroit Edison power plants have ample reserve generating capacity for the peak requirements of all war industry using our service. Insofar as one can be sure of anything in time of war, it will ,not be necessary to curtail our residential, commercial and indus- trial customers. But careful reasonable use of electricity, is patriotic—an important contribution to the war effort. The Detroit Edison Com- pany, omPany,,
