Funeral services were held at the Northrup Funeral Home in Redford Tuesday afternoon, with the Rev. George Gullen officiat- ing: Burial was in Grand Lawn cemetery. Two hours after the accident,. Charles R. Duncan, a resident of the trailer camp at Plymouth and .Telegraph roads, surrendered to the Redford post of the Michigan state police at Seven Mile and Grand River. He was turned over to the sheriff's office for investigation of negligent homicide. 'County Chief \ of Detectives Russell Gregory said that Mrs. Wolfe had been struck so vio- lently that both legs were torn from her body. Her body was picked, -up in front of her son's real estate office on Seven Mile road. A few seconds before the acci- `dent,'her grandson, Harry Wolfe, Jr., had noticed the car proceed- ing ata .high rate of speed, and had commented that the fellow undoubtedly was in a hurry. Seconds later, there was a thud, and Mrs. Wolfe was dead. Someone remarked that "some- one's grandmother has just been hit," and young Wolfe remarked "I'll bet it's mine." A police message was sent out at once, and the Northville police blockaded both the Six and Seven Mile roads, but the car was so badly damaged by the accident that it stalled before it reached the blockade. Two hours later, Duncan ar- rived at the Redford post of the state :police and surrendered. He admitted that he had been drinking before the accident. Mrs. Wolfe was one of the ear- liest residents of Livonia town- ship, and for forty -.three years has been one of the most highly re- spected women in the com- munity. She was born Charlotte Eliza- beth Gray at Orangeville, Ont., September 27, 1858. On Febru- .ary 9, 1876, she was married to Richard E. Wolfe, who died De- cember 15, 1919. Forty-three years ago, he and his bride moved to Livonia town- ship, where he became known as one of the best farmers in the county. Both Harry and another son, Earl, followed in their father's footsteps, and became outstanding farmers. They en- tered into the community life of the township, and for several years Harry has been township clerk, and has operated an exten- sive real estate business. Earl Wolfe, the other son, also engaged in real estate, but is now operating a large farm near Lapeer, Michigan. There also were two daughters, Mrs. Anna Bond of South Bend, Oregon, and Charlotte Ada Wil- son, wife of Charles E: `Wilson; the :prosecuting attorney of Oak- land county. Mrs. -Wolfe was widely_ known for her activities and her. charities, - and was respected throughout ' the community for her kindrkess.

But it's true ... even though the coal is burned in a Detroit Edison power house miles away. The Government asks everyone to save electricity to save coal. You can conserve in the operation of your electric range by thrifty use of the deep -well cooker, by planning more "all -in -one" oven meals, by turning the switch to "LOW" heat after foods have come to a boil, and by utilizing the stored heat of the heating unit for cooking. Electricity is not rationed and there is no shortage in this area. But the Government asks you to conserve wherever you can, as much as you can.

Five minutes of si- lence was observed for prayers for our boys who are in service and a special prayer was given for L. J. Owers who is missing in the South Pacific. An ice skat- ing rink and a game library were discussed and any suggestions from the parents of teen age chil- dren would be appreciated at the next meeting on January 17.

Dock, Swiss chard, and dande- lion greens have little waste if used promptly, or washed and . stored cold. The heavy midribs of chard can be removed and used in place of asparagus. Rhubarb leaves are one of the few exceptions to the rule "Eat it all." They are not edible. All of the rhubarb stalk, especially the skin, is edible. The younger and fresher the stalks, the more palatable rhubarb is. Be a little different this Christmas and give glasses . . . in modern. streamlined frames that will help lift a person's morale.
