Home My WebLink AboutLivonian1943_1006To Award Garden Prizes at Rosedale The next regular meeting of the Rosedale Gardens Civic As- sociation on Friday, October 8 at 8 p. m. promises to be one of the most important meetings in many months. Curtailment of the fuel oil al- lotment for heating and lack of janitor service threaten to seri- ously disrupt Community House activities in the coming season, thereby making it necessary for the association to institute a re- vised and drastic schedule for the various community groups which use this building. This will be one of Friday night's topics of discussion. Through the cooperation of the Shelden Land Co. and the Wayne County RoadCommission, plans have been made with the associ- ation for a program which should materially improve the appear- ance of the subdivision. Inasmuch as this plan calls for the trim- ming of shrubbery and trees which now constitute a traffic menace on many corners, it is of utmost importance that that the residents of the Gardens turn out to lend their full support to . this activity. The gift fund for service men, inaugurated by the association and supported by the residents, is well underway and Christmas gifts have already :been sent to many men who are now serving overseas. One of the most important fea- tures of the meeting on Friday will be the- announcement of prize winners in the Community Victory Garden contest. Four prizes of $5.00 each in war Stamps will be awarded to resi- dents of the subdivision whose gardens were among the best, .but who failed to take prizes in either the township or county contests. An open house for all mem- bers of the association will be held on Saturday, October 9. The committee has planned a weiner roast to .be held on the Club House grounds. Buns, coffee, sugar and cream. will be pro- vided for a nominal charge. The annual Hallowe'en dance is scheduled for Saturday, October 3Q, and from all indications, promises to live up to its prede- cessors in providing an evening of fun, with costumes old and new, beautiful and comic, being the order 6f the night. One Pair Of Shoes For Six Months Your next shoe ration stamp will be good for six months in- stead of four months, which in effect means that from now on you're going to get only two. pairs of -shoes a year. But don't worry about it. As a matter of fact, shoe mer- chants say three pair of shoes a year which you were buying un- der ration stamps issued every four months, was more than you bought before the war. When ration stamp 1,7, which was the first shoe ration, was about to expire, thousands of persons rushed to their shoe mer- chants just to spend the stamp. They might not need shoes; they might not even find shoes which they liked, but they bought them just the same. Now, stamp 18- is about to ex- pire,4�, and a rush already has started to spend ttem.' Shoe merchants are always glad to provide the shoes, of course, but nevertheless, they also are experiencing a shortage of help. They. have more work to do than ever before, what with bookkeeping, and taking care of the stamps. The result has been that when there is a rush in buying, which the merchants are unequipped to handle work piles UP. As far as children are con - cerned, or men or women work- ing in factories who need extra shoes, these are obtainable through special rations at the ration board. So, even though the regular shoe ration has been gut down, don't worry about it. You don't need more than two pairs of shoes a year anyway. Try; Livonian Want Ads.

The book centers around suburban women and their activities, which should prove very interesting. Those who have heard Mrs. Matulis be- fore know what a' splendid speaker she is, so come and bring a friend or a prospective neve .member. There will be no charge for the book review. A short business meeting will be held preceeding the book review.. Discuss School Problem Again Monday, September 27, a meet- ing was. held at the Livonia Center school to discuss the ad- vantages and disadvantages of a gonsolidated school system in Livonia Township. At the pres- ent time there are seven se.pa- rate school districts and each district has from three to five men on the school boards and with consolidation. there would be a five man board to control the entire Livonia township. Each school would be on the same tax rate and given the same consideration. Also the government will not give federal aid to a school district but it can be obtained by consolidation. No school district as it is can afford to build and- maintain a high school and through consolidation t%ere-is a possibility that a high School could be built in the town- ship after the war. Petitions are being circulated in Livonia Cen- ter and the- Wilcox district. Mr. _Brake talked to, the par- ents after the meeting in regard to half day sessions and said he would talk to Miss Jamieson and arrange for a meeting of. the par- ents and Miss Jamieson next week. . The parents of children in the first, second, third and fourth grades are anxiousto have their children go to school on a full day schedule as they feel they are behind in their work. Civic Association To -Hold Picnic Saturday evening, October 9, the Rosedale Gardens Civic As- sociation will hold a wiener roast on the clubhouse grounds. Bring' your own wieners, wear warm comfortable clothes, come prepared for a pleasant laughter filled evening. Rolls, relishes, coffee, cookies will be -provided. Arrangements have been made for an indoor party in case of inclement weather. For fun everyone is invited to bring along any and all musical instruments, whether they can play them or not, and a Hayfield .Symphony will be formed. If you are suffering from a re- pressed desire to let loose a few hot licks oiA Grandpa's Sousa- phone, here is your chance.

To Discuss Hallowe'en Party This (Wednesday) evening, at 8 p. in. the members of the Par- ent Teacher's Association of the Rosedale school will have their first fall meeting. As their speaker for the eve- ning, they will have C. H. Blan- chard, boys' councillor at Redford high school, who will speak about "Problems of Youth in War Time." The PTA motto for the year is "Then Conquer We Must," so Mr. Blanchard's" talk should be. -very much in keeping with this theme. Severaf community problems will be discussed, among them, it must be decided if we are to sponsor the Community Hallow- e'en Party, as we have in the past, or because of conditions which might make it impossible to get the candy and other things that go to make this event such a success, to discontinue this event for the duration. All residents of the community, especially parents of teen age children, are most cordially in- vited to attend this meeting. WILL GIVE GARDEN PRIZES The Taxpayers' Associa- tion of Livonia 'Pownship will award the prizes for the Victory Garden contest Wednesday evening, Octo- ber 13 at the ,township hall.

Proves Successful A Get Acquainted party was held Thursday night, September 30 for the women of Rosedale Gardens with a turnout of 135. Due to the. splendid work of the program chairman, Mrs. T. Lyn- don and her committee and the help of Mrs. E. Bentley, the chair- man of the Woman's club, the party was very successful. Mrs. Lyndon's committee consisted of Mrs. Z. McClellan, Mrs. D. Pickles, Mrs. C. R. Carlson, Mrs. R. De Pencier, and Mrs. W. Barth, assisted .by Mrs. W., Per- isty and Mrs. H. Olson. Mrs. J.

The mantle was decorated with leaves, ber- ries and candelabra, with a light reflecting on the beautiful plaque carrying the names of all the boys in service. from Rosedale. Several nice prizes were wpn in the games played throughout the evening, these havnig been donated by the merchants of Ply- mouth and Livonia and some by members of the Woman's club. -0-- Chief -- Chief Roberts Asks Cooperation All residents of- Livonia Town- ship are urged by Fire Chief Roberts .to take part in the ob- servance of Fire Prevention Week which is being held from Octo- ber 3 to October 9 in the town- ship and in thousands of other comn%unities throughout the nation. "Because even our. best efforts cannot totally save or in any way replace a house that is consumed by flames ;before we are notified, we urge all residents to cooper- ate with us in an elimination of common home fire hazards dur- ing Fire Prevention Week." Chief Roberts further recommends that every family delegate at least one member to learn how to turn in an alarm properly and without delay should a fire break out despite all precautions . . . many times an alarm has ,come in too late to be effective or is transmitted in such a garbled manner that the department is not informed cf the exact loca- tion of the fire .. . the Depart- ment knows the common causes of fire and stands ready during Fire Prevention Week to pro- vide any information possible on (Continued on page 7) I Page 2 THE LIVONIAN Wenesday, Oct. 6, 1943 Sets Jap Trap Thankful Celebrant Japanese in the Lae-Salamaua sector were surrounded by two sud- den Allied actions. General Mac- Arthur is pictured viewing the sec- ond action, the descent of American paratroopers behind Lae. The first action was an Allied landing above Lae under a smokescreen of war- ships.

" You can imagine what a dis- appointment it is for him if he finds all the long distance lines are busy. By avoiding the use of long distance during those hours — 7 to 10 P.

They use this jewelry tomake friends with the natives. The :boys and girls of our school had their pictures taken Wednesday, September 2.9. We had a grand time. The photographer was a jolly and nice as anyone could be. The children helped a lot. If a picture doesn't have a happy look it won't be the photogra- pher's fault. We have organized the 4-H clubs again this year. 'The subjects are as follows: (a) sewing, (b) handicraft, (c) rab- bit club, (d) war activities). So far in sewing there are only two leaders.

Wenesday, Oct. 6, 1943 TIME LIVONIAN Page 7 Chief Roberts Asps Cooperation (Continues from Page 1) the best means of preventing fire at the source." The past three weeks this col- umn has endeavored to show the many causes of fires, the enor- mous monetary loss and the ap- palling loss of life that has been aused by fires the past year and past few years and it is our de- sire to bring before you the tragedy of these staggering losses just give onemore thought to this subject before you start to look around the house and grounds to see what you can do to stop this -the United States is burning its homes faster than they are built that sounds just like a big shot in the dark but here are he figures—in 1942, approximately 350,000 dwelling units were constructed in an all out effort to solve the country's acute war -born housing problem. During the same period, how- ever, 395,000 dwelling uits were attacked by fire, many of them totally destroyed . . the greater majority of fires are preventable and are primarily due to careless- ness and ignorance, thus, it is important to ,continue to carry on an educational effort . make Fire Prevention Week the time to tell vour neighbor that fire caused by carelessness and ignor- ane is just as effective an aid to our enemies as fire caused by sabotage or bombs. When you are careless with fire you fight FOR the enemy. Fires fight for the Axis. Feed fighters—not fires. Observe Fire Prevention Week.
