Defense -orker Killed By Auto Norman Lorimer, 43, of 9961 Cardwell street (near Inkster and Plymouth road) was killed Satur- day morning at 7:45 when he was struck by an automobile driven by William Pridemore of Detroit. Both men are employed at the Plymouth plant of the Kelsey - Hayes Wheel Co. The report of the sheriff's offi- cers who investigated the acci- dent said that Pridemore was driving west, and that Lorimer was crossing Plymouth road to board a bus to go to work. The sheriff's 'report said that Pridemore reported he was driv- ing about 40 miles an hour, and that he failed to see Lorimer crossing the road. The sheriff's officer measured skid marks at the scene of the -accident and said that Pridemore had skidded his car, about 55 feet before stopping, and that Lorimer's body was found about 300 feet west of Cardwell street. Pridemore was held 'for investi- gation. Three hundred thousand more men of military age were put to work on farms during the first six months of this year than in the same months of 1942, because of draft deferment and other measures taken to conserve agri- cultural labor. This number was sufficient to offset net losses of workers of military age from farms during the last half of 1942, according to the depart- ment of agriculture. The department would like to warn residents of the township .that the' habit_ of taking' water from fire hydrants should be dis- continued with the approach of cold weather: If water is taken. from a hydrant Aid the hydrant is not pumped out, it leaves suf- ficient water in it to freeze and. put the hydrant out of commis- sion. Should there be a fire in your home and the department could 'get no water from the hydrant because of this practise, you no doubt would not be in a very friendly mood toward the neigh- bor that had left the hydrant in that condition . this practise has been noted in the neighbor- hood of Joy road between Inkster and Middle Belt roads as well as on Chicago boulevard in Rose- dale Gardens. If you see anyone using water from a hydrant near your home please warn them of the danger. It may save YOUR home some time. Have you checked those smoke pipes, flues and brooder heaters?' Fire originating from a faulty smoke pipe, and flue caused dam- age to the home of R. E. Young, 15101 Haller avenue, Saturday night. Mrs. Young was home . alone with the children and until the arrival of the fire department, you can imagine her state of mind. It could have been avoided. Strange as it may seem, the famiy did not know that there was a fire department in Livonia Township. For the benefit of any other residents .of the township please be .advised that there has been a fire department in the township for the past two years and there does not seem to be any excuse for anyone not knowing about, it. The apparatus is located at the corner of Plymouth and Merri-_ man roads and they may be called .at any hour of the day or night to respond to fires in the township except north of Six Mile rdad between Inkster and Eckles roads. The telephone number is LIVONIA 2555: It is in the telephone book. Please mention this to your neighbor. He may not know of the exist- ence. xistence of the department.

This (Wednesday) evening at 8.p. m., the Parent Teacher's As- sociation of the Rosedale School will have their November meet- ing. The principal business of the evening will be the election of a president to fill the vacancy made by Mrs. George Hamilton's resignation, and to vote for a corresponding secretary as pro- vided for in the by-laws.

Parents are invited to come to the school at 7:30 p. in. when the teachers will be in' their rooms to discuss any problem you might have about your child. So far as women go, judging by the busy signals we get, the telephone company's campaign to make conversation brief seems to be a flop.

Policy And Price Ceilings There is some shortage of milk products in the Plymouth area, but there is NOT the shortage that the metropolitan rapers have led the people to ' believe. A survey of the milk dealers in Plymouth has revealed that there is a shortage of milk due to a variety of reasons, the chief of which are: 1. Many farmers are quitting the milk business, either because they are not making sufficient money to cover their costs under OPA price ceilings, or because they can make more money in a war plant, or because there is a shortage of feed. 2. This is normally the lowest production period of the year, the time just before the farmers start feeding inside and the covTs leave the pasture. 3. Consumption is up. 4. There is a shortage of labor. Joseph Zielasko of the Newburg Dairy probably hit the nail squarely on the head when he told The Plymouth Mail that there are just two reasons for the present milk shortage. "First—It is the labor policy of the administration and second it is the low prices farmers are DR. J. McL.

To produce on the farm, you have got to really work and work hard long hours. And then when we have produced it, we should be able to sell it at a profit sufficient at least to cover our costs. I can't see any hope for getting out of the mess we are in, if they keep on doing things as they are. We plan to do all we can to keep our regular cus- tomers supplied." Herman Bakhaus, head of the Cloverdale Dairies said that there is some shortage of milk in the Plymouth area, but thus far there has been no curtailment of the supply to customers. He said his firm has had to haul in some milk in order to satisfy the de- mand, but that thus far he had been successful. Other creameries said they had been forced to cut down in the manufacture of milk by-products. The Newburg Dairy said they had had to quit making cottage cheese and buttermilk, and the Maplelawn management agreed Authorized Sales Headquar- ters for stamps and bonds FARMINGTON X IV THEATRE Wed., Thurs., Nov. 3-4 * # zlr FREE DISHESLADIES!

The Jersey Bell people said they had a bigger supply than usual at present. All were agreed that the peak of the shortage period has been reached, and that within two or three weeks the situation should be cleared to some extent. --o To make the nation's supply of livestock feed produce the maxi- mum amount of food, the War Food Administration says hogs should be marketed at lighter weights than during the past two Wednesday, November 3, 1943 years and 1944 spring farrowing should be held substantially be- low that of last spring. These measures will be necessary, WFA says, if livestock numbers and feed supply are to be held in bal- ance. WFA urges very best use of roughage and pasture for sheep and cattle. In general, WFA points out, if feeders hold down the weights to which they feed their meat animals, they'll get maximum output of meat per Pound of feed used. To conserve feed, WFA recommends heavy culling of range herds.. 0 Try Livonian Want Ads.
