For instance, a box of 10 -cent dominoes would cost $1.90. Pull toys that cost 10 cents to 25 cents at home cost from $2.5,0 to $4 here. English cigarets are 46 cents and up per package, and cigars 50 cents to $2 each. Whisky (30 under .proof) is nearly unobtainable and has a ceiling price of $5.15 per fifth, but can not be bought for less than $12. Fur coats are 10 times what they are in the states and there is a 135 per cent tax on jewelry. A fac- tory worker makes $14 to $2,0 per week and gives 40 per cent back in taxes. A businessman gives a minimum of 50 per cent and that's even on incomes of $2,000 per year. These people know what war is. The little evacuee who sat at my table is just Pat's age (4) and her mother and father were both killed. She kissed Ada's picture (Bob's wife) and said she wished she had a mother.

THE LIVONIAN Center Cubs Have Busy Week The Cub Pack meeting of the Livonia Center Cubs met at the Livonia Center school on Friday evening, February 25, at 8 o'clock. Each Cub was represented by ei- ther or both parents. Den No. 1 gave a patriotic skit on the month of February — ground -hog day, Lincoln's birthday, Susan An- thony, George Washington. Den No. 2 gave a radio skit. The boys made microphones and tuned in to the various stations for their program. Both skits were very interesting. The boys gave the names of the books they have read and a short synopsis of the books. On Monday evening the Cubs went to the Rackham building in Detroit with Ernest Sommerman and Robert Snodgrass to see and hear all about "Wildlife in Michi- gan," by Walter Hastings. The l boys enjoyed the program very much. Den No. 1 of Livonia Center has as its denner Clarence Hines. David Opper is again the keeper of the books. The month of March is to be Jungle Month and so the next meeting, which will be held on' March 31, will be Jungle Night. During the month of March each Cub is to make a wastepaper basket, and they will be on dis- play at the meeting on March 31. The boys are to be aided in this project by either the father or mother.
