Hallowe`en Party Off This Year - The October meeting of the Parent Teacher's Association of the Rosedale school was held on Wednesday evening, October 6 at 8 o'clock at the school, with about 65 members- present. The business meeting was . con- ducted by Mrs. G. C. Cook in the absence of the president, Mrs. George Hamilton. It was decided that there would be no community Hallow- e'en party this year, due to the difficulty in obtaining the neces- sary candy and other things that made this party so successful in the past. The resignation of Mrs. Hamil- ton as ' president was read` and accepted. It was announced that at the November meeting an election for a new president and a corresponding secretary would be held.

For the women, June Broad did a fine piece of work by collecting •44 million and received a $25.00 war bond, and . Mrs. Aletha Lay had 30 million and received an 'electric clock. Two Big Ben alarm clocks were auctioned off and netted $25.50.

The proceeds from the party are not all in and although they cleared better than $400 it is` not `the goal they set. The Auxiliary Police would appreciate any con- tribution the people of Livonia would care to donate toward this project and then they can give the final story in a later edition of this paper.

MERCHANT: As a wartime _measure to -save noai, trans- portation, manpower; and -critical ma-- terials, the Vicar =Production -Board; -has-- requested a nationwide conserval oa of_ electricity in these categories: LIGHTER SIGNS, . SHOW WINDOWS, DECORA- TIVE - AND ORNAMENTAL . LIGHTING, SHOWCASES, BUILDING ENTRANCES, INTERIOR ILLUMINATI"ON, AIR CONDITIONING. This program is voluntary. But its impor- tance cannot be emphasized too strongly. Thousands of tons of coal each day are required to manufacture electricity, and when you save electricity you save coal and other war materials. Desired savings In light and power can be obtained by turning off lights and equipment which are not necessary. In our Company there is no shortage of generating plant or distribution facilities. But saving electricity today is a patriotic obligation. This nationwide voluntary pro- gram includes ALL public utilities—gas, telephone, water, transportation -as well as electricity.

All residents of the community are urged to !be \pres- ent at thhis meeting to ask any questions that they might have about this consolidation. Mrs. Fred Vandevender then led the group in community sing.- ing which was enjoyed by all present. Mrs. G. C. Cook then intro- duced as the speaker for the eve- ing, C. H. Blanchard, .boys' coun- cillor at Redford High School who gave a very inspiring talk about the "Problems of Youth in War Time." Mr. Blanchard stated that the habits of truancy are established in a child by the age of 12 and that in the past few months there has been an 84% increase in de- linquency of girls under 16, and -a 30% increase in boys. These are just the cases that come to the attention of the authorities. He said that broken homes, work- ing parents, and lack of correct -supervision are the reasons for this appalling record.. He urged all parents to be aware of their parenthood, and to be the moth- ers and dads to the neighbor's children as well as to their own. He also urged more parent par- ticipation in the Boy Scout, Cub and Girl Scout work, and that we cannot afford to be too busy ,to neglect our children. The next meeting will be held at 8 p. m. at the school on Wed- nesday, November 3, the program to .be announced later in the month. --`o Nothing more completely baf- fles one who is full of trick and duplicity, than straig4hbfarward and simple integrity in another. —Colton.

Mail Overseas Packages Now October 15th is an important date to the boys in the army overseas, it's an important date for mothgrs, wives, and sweet- hearts of soldiers, and it's an im- portant date for the postoffice. It's important because it's the last day for mailing Christmas packages to our boys overseas. Today is October 8th which leaves just seven days for you to get those packages mailed. And the Plymouth postoffice reports that the number of packages mailed from here has been few. There are a lot of boys from here overseas and we hope they won't be sadly alsappointed. The post - office has made an appeal to local citizens asking them to mail their packages now. Waiting till the last minute will mean one grand rush which might result in some of the boys not receiving their Christmas gifts. So don't forget to mail that package TO- DAY!
