Eating Places
Must Abide by All
OPA Regulations
The rules and regulations of the
office of price administration gov-
erning prices which may be
charged by restaurants and drink-
ing places were explained in de-
tail Monday night by Louis A.
Williams; price specialist for the
district office of OPA in Detroit.
Only about 30 of the 60 restau-
ranteurs invited to the meeting
were present.
After Mr. Williams explained
the details of price regulations,
he was asked a number of ques-
tions.
The restaurant men were told
that they must abide by the rules
and regulations; that prices may
not be increased, or quality and
quantity decreased over that
served during the base period of
a year ago.
In the future, they were told,
they must ,comply with these rules
and regulations, or the compli-
ance office of the OPA will en-
force its rules. The local board
and the price panel will no longer
have jurisdiction.

Livonia School News
Beginners
The beginners have had some
interesting visitors. Three !baby
bunnies came to spend -a week
with us and have become good
friends of ours. They eat from
our hands and like to be petted.
We fed them spinach, carrots and
rabbit :pellets. They like lots of
water. We named them Flopsy,
Cottontail and Peter.
First, Second and Third Grades
Thursday, May 11, was cleanup
day at Livonia Center school. All
brush was piled in the back and
burned in a great bonfire. All pa-
per was collected and added to
the .fire. As a well deserved re-
ward, lemonade and cookies were
served and after such strenuous
exercise were greatly enjoyed.
One ;group of second grade chil-
dren is reading from "Friends
About Us." After reading "The
New Aquarium," they drew aqua-
riums. They also made a maypole
poster for the hall. There are new
spring pictures over our black-
board. The attendance in second
grade is good and we hope it will
continue to be for the rest of the
term.
Fourth Grade
We have a crab and a frog for
science.
We are making Mother's day
cards and having a party.
We are decorating the room.
We are studying about China
in geography.
Walter Sommercan is !back in
school now.
We are going on a picnic -to
day after cleaning out part of
the yard.
We finished our achievement
test today.
Fifth and Sixth Grades
The fifth and sixth grades are
taking their tests. The sixth grade
boys are going to play baseball
with the sixth grade boys of Rose-
dale Gardens. We are going to
give our school grounds a spring
cleaning by raking the lawn and
picking up paper, sticks and
stones.

Seventh and Eighth Grades
The standard achievement tests
came and we have had our first
tests. Next week the eighth grade
will have a meeting to make plans
for the graduation. We have re-
ceived letters from Ilene and Gen-
evieve MacDonald, who moved up
north two weeks ago.
Service Squad Party
Friday evening, May 5, the girls'
service squad entertained the boys
of the fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth :grades in a dancing :party.
The emphasis was on dances
learned in folk dancing classes.
However, we were delighted to
have Mr. Smith, husband of Mrs.
Dorothy :Smith, teach us some-
thing of the "real" square dances.
We thank again Mr. and Mrs.
Bugg, Mr. and Mrs. Schumacher
and Mr. and Mrs. Larsen for act-
ing as chaperons. At the party's
conclusion punch and cookies
were served.

THE LIVONI"
Wednesday, May 17, 1944
"We are the food army of Michigan. There are nearly 200,000 of us—each with
our family, our bit of soil, our, hopes, our ambitions. Ours is a never-ending battle
—sometimes against drought or rain, against cold or heat,
against pests and disease, against shortages or surpluses, and
always arainst time.
"No state in the union grows a greater variety of products.
Proud as you must be of Michigan's industrial contribution
to ever -approaching Victory, proud, too, you should be of her agricultural great-
ness. For Michigan, last year, was asked to produce a record-breaking tonnage of
food—food to feed our own people, food for our fighting men around the world,
food for our allies, food for the starving in China, in Africa, in Italy.
"It was a challenge to the farmers of our state. And we accepted it, though there
were many who said it couldn't be done.
"We won the battle of food. We won it in spite of the help
we didn't have, the equipment we couldn't obtain. We won
it in spite of a jesting Nature that washed out our early plant-
ings, bogged down our tractors, destroyed ;precious days and
weeks. We harvested nearly 500 millions of dollars' worth of
vitally -needed food,
an all-time record.
"We met the challenge as you have met the challenge in your work—as your food
retailer and wholesaler from the smallest independent to the largest chain store
operator met it without complaint. They were beset with problems, too—ration
stamps, ceiling prices, countless Government reports, in-
i /' creased operating costs, inadequate help and often shortages
_ of merchandise.
"They made it possible for the food we produced to provide
you with the energy to do a fighting job on the home front.
"They brought you our luscious berries, cherries, melons, peaches, pears, plums
and apples from our fruit areas ... sugar from our beets, millions of gallons of
health -building milk, cream and other dairy products for your children and war
workers, golden honey, top -grade potatoes in abundance, poultry, eggs and meats

"Guess we're pretty lucky in our town,
Judge, that we don't have the youth
problem you read about in other places."
" Don't know as you can call it lucky,
Harold ... we saw it coming with the war
and we did something about it. before it hit
us. We gave our 'teen age youngsters the
recreational facilities they needed and really
wanted. Those familiar with this wartime
.problem know that young folks go to places
they shouldn't only when the proper places
are not provided for them. Young people
always want to be with others of their own
age ... want their own type of entertainment.
Town after town has found out that once
these simple wants are met, the problem
is well on its way to being licked."
"Guess I didn't really know how far-
sighted our town really is, Judge. If we
hadn't looked ahead we wouldn't have had
anybody or anything to blame but ourselves,
would we?"
