Farmers are urged to contact their local farm placement .com- mittees at the nearest high school for farm help or call the county agent's office in Wayne, telephone 2361. Michigan State college exten- sion service opened an emergency farm labor office in room 316, McKerchey building, 2631 Wood- ward avenue, Detroit, May 15, 1944, according to Ellesworth Gesemer,- county agricultural agent. Persons wishing to work on farms may call at the above ad- dress to register and for an in- terview, Besemer stated, or phone Cadillac 5781 week days and Cad- illac 5790 Saturdays for general information. The Detroit office is under the direction of the county agricul- tural agent and will register all workers for victory farm volun- teers, youths 14 years to 18 years old; women's land army, women who work on farms, and crop corps workers, all adults who spend their vacations in farm work or those who work after hours or on "days off" from regu- lar factory or office work. Farmers are in need of experi- enced tractor operators and oth- ers who have some knowledge of farm work, said Besemer. Results in using a septic system for garbage disposal are reported by W. H. .Sheldon, agricultural engineer at Michigan State col- lege. He ran the experiment with the septic system that serves his own household. At the end of four years the 550 - gallon tank needed cleaning, but that, he decided, was better than to have the ,problem of buying gar- bage at frequent intervals. From experience, however, he will discontinue putting canning refuse, such as pea pods, grape stems and corn cobs into the sep- tic plant, since these materials were not digested. He has used a garbage inlet for disposing of wastes in slaughtering rabbits and has even interred dead rabbits and dead dogs in the septic sys- tem. The bones, however, failed to digest. Fertilizer manufacturers indi- cate farmers are not obtaining as much nitrogen as is available. Corn and other feed crops will produce extra quantities if ferti- lizers are used. Tests of the U. S. department of agriculture indicate vegetable proteins such as soy bean meal and .peanut meal are just as prac- tical as the animal proteins in most scraps, dried skim milk and fish meal for feeding turkeys. �r .... / for a lady who wants to glA �N'9 '�S`'�•r"o```ff electricity and appliances! SAVING ELECTRICITY A car- dinal rule today is this: "Use only what electricity you need, and don't waste it." There are many practical ways of saving electricity in your home—in j your cooking, light- Ing, the use of appliances. And not one of them • involves any sacri- fices in the use of your helpful elec- trical servants. It simply means knowing the most economical way to use them, with greatest efficiency. A few of these suggestions are listed below. YOUR HOME LIGHTING Dust steals light—robbing you of as much as one-fourth the light you pay for. This is pure' waste. Keep slamps and fixture"' i clean. Wipe bulbs j and reflector :in. bowls frequently. Dust shades inside and oyt. Use the right -size bulbs in your lamps and fixtures, and select shades with a white lining. ELECTRIC COOKING Use the thrift cooker of your electric range often. Plan com- ::::::..... '`'4'::":. plete meals that can be cooked in ©c ,' the oven at one a� time. Finish sur- face cooking on "low" or stored heat whenever :•<e> possible. Use flat- bottomed utensils just big enough to cover heating unit. Cook with little water, and cover utensils with a tight lid. SMALL APPLIANCES Don't jerk cord from socket when finished using. Disconnect by grasping plug. Don't clean wires of heating element (toaster, grill, etc.) with fork or sharp tool. Never dip appliances in water. Let appliance cool before storing away. Always clean grids on waffle iron after us- ing. Don't let electric iron overheat. YOUR REFRIGERATOR Don't overcrowd your refrigerator. Unless the motor is hermetically sealed, have it oiled and inspected regular- ly. Be sure there is adequateair circu- lotion all around s Q the refrigerator. Defrost regularly. (Never use a knife or sharp tool for defrosting.) Clean inside of refrigerator with lukewarm water and mild soap. YOUR ELECTRIC WASHER Drain washer and rinse tub thor• oughly after each T washing. Remove �...... agitator or suction cups and rinse. Wipe dry with a - i soft cloth. Don't force thick, bulky i I objects through i>:i::>;:[ your wringer—or hard objects like belt buckles, etc. Release pressure on rolls when not in use, and dry wringer thoroughly. Don't overload your washer. THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY I Wednesday, May 24, 1944 THE LIVONIAN Page Fiv* Fred C. Weinert Made President Fred C.

I "Did you hear that Tom is going to be inducted into the Army next week, Judge?" "Yes, Frank told me this morning down at the barber shop. Our town's got a lot of men in the service now, Jim. In fact, all towns have. I was just reading in the paper where there are more than 10,000,000 men away from their homes in the armed forces. And, from all reports, they"r� doing a grand job bringing victory closer every day. " We folks at home have a mighty big obligation to those 10,000,000 fighting men. We've got to produce the food to keep them well fed. We've got to keep thetas supplied with the ammunition and equipment they need to finish their job. We've got to help the Government pay for all these supplies our men need by buying more and more War Bonds. We'll have another big chance to do that by helping to put the 5th War Loan drive over the top, Jim. "And, in addition, we must be sure that, while they're away and can't express their opinions, we don't go voting on and deciding any things that will displease them when they come back."
