Phone Plymouth 16 VoL 4, No. 45 Wednesday, January 5, 1944 A Necessary Change (By STERLING EATON The war has done a lot of things. Shortages and curtailment: have caused a lot of grief. In fact, many business firms have beer. forced to close their doors. The Livonian, like all others, too; has had these many problem: to meet .and so far nothing has stopped the .presses from bringing you your paper each Wednesday. New publications, those young in years and small in size, have had more trials than some of their larger brothers. Both members of the Livonian staff are now in the armed forces and only the publisher and faithful residents remain to surmount the ever increasing problems. We are introducing to you this week a new Livonian shorn of the white. space between its columns, and the columns shortened some two inches to a new size which we think will be easier handled and far easier to produce, as well as save paper. The idea is not original with us, as many eastern papers already have adopted this new standard style, and we.think it expedient to follow suit. Nearly 50 newspapers in Michigan .have discontinued publication for the duration, _unable to meet the problems placed on their shoul- ders, but, if you will accept us as we are today we will still continue to bring you the news of your neighbors and friends. When paper is again plentiful and there is lots of help, we'll resume our former size and take up where we left off before the war. To Talk About Get Sales Japs At Meeting Tax ,Advisor On Wednesday evening, Janu- ary 12, the members of the Wo- men's Auxiliary of the Rosedale Gardens Presbyterian church will have their regular monthly meet- ing. This meeting will be open to all who care to attend, and members are. especially, invited to bring their husbands, as the guest speaker of the evening will speak on a subject of interest to the men as well as women. Our guest speaker will be Rev. Shigeo Tanabe of Detroit who will speak on "Japanese Ameri- cans." Because of the timeliness of the subject, it is hoped that many will attend. The meeting will start at 8 p. m. and after a very short business meeting, Rev. Tanabe will speak. Following the talk, refresh- ments will be served with Mrs. M. Heric, Mrs. F. Merrion, Mrs. T. J. Lyndon, Mrs. W. Edwards and Mrs. R. DePencier as hos- r. and Mrs. Harry Schu- tenses. zer had as their dinner guests o qday evening, Mr, and Mrs. The Livonia branch of the -ge Rigstad, Mr. and Mrs. American Re d Cross held their Snittler, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- election for three officers to fill Richter, Mr, and Mrs. Vin- vacancies at a meeting Wednes- Frank, Mr. and Mrs. George I day evening in the Livonia Town lonev, Mr. and Mrs. William ,.Hall.

De- cember 17 to 8:010 P. in. Decem- ber 19. One call got the men out of bed: at midnight to respond to a call that a car was on fire at Middiebeit andSchoolcraft, but upon arrival of the department 'no car of any kind could be lo- cated. + . s An odd type of fire, which could have easily .ended with the serious burning of two children ill in bed, was caused by a blanket being carelessly thrown over an electric ironer which had been left plugged in at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Meier, 35154 Five Mile road on Decem- ber 17. The department was re- sponding to another call when this call came in .but fortunately two of the firemen who had not made the first run were located and took a fire extinguisher from the Livonia bowling alleys and made the run in a private car. The children were removed from the house and the fire extin- guishea with no damage except to the ironer. The township is to be congratulated on having two such men on the department who are willing to leave their place of business and respond to calls such as the above and handle the situation in such an excellent manner. It is seldom that the fire de- partment is called to the home of one of the firemen. However, such was the case when the de- partment was called to extin- guish a fire at the home of Orval Derr, 31222 Schoolcraft road. The fire was caused by a defective chimney and damage was esti- mated to be in the neighborhood of $75.00. � r � Tragedy marred the serenity of the Christmas season when the department was called to bring the resusitator to the Bristan home on Ingram avenue, Rose- dale Gardens. However, before aid could be administered, Mr. Mrs. Clara Smith was pleas- Bristan had succumed. Death, it antly surprised on 'her birthday, was believed, was due to a com- December 30.
