HomeMy WebLinkAboutLivonian1944_0607School Board To Meet Each Monday Members of the Livonia School Board are putting in long hours these days in an effort to get the newly consolidated districts af- fairs in order. According to sec- retary G. A. Bakewell the board took its first official action last Monday night when they approv- ed the purchase of a new 72 .pass- enger school bus. Under the consolidation the board finds their schools have a seating ;capacity all together of 1575 seats or an average of 35 pupils per room. The anticipated attendance next fall is 1600 stud- ents, therefore it may be neces- sary to shift some of the students from one school to another .to pro- perly balance the rooms. It was for this .purpose that the bus be- came a necessity. The board is meeting every Monday evening in the offices of the Rosedale Gardens School. President Fred C. Wienert in- structed the secretary to write supervisor Jesse Zeigler, in re- gards to a 40 acre future site that is now in the hands of the State' Land Board in Lansing, and re- quest him to ask the State Board to hold this land until some fu- ture date when the school board might appraise its worth for school purposes. The 40 acres is located on Five Mile road just east of Farmington road and is in about the center of the Town- ship. ,One of the last official acts of the Rosedale -Elm school board. was the purchase of an additional acre and a half of land at the Elm school :to be used for future de- velopment. 7�C Red Cross Has New Canteen Aid A graduation and mobile cook- out was held June first at Cass Benton Park.

Johnson Professor of Agricultural Economics University of Missouri FAVORABLE seasons, wartime prices, and a lot of hard work as their contribution to the war effort, have brought corn belt farmers three years of record breaking production and income. Every farmer naturally wants to use this income in the best possi- ble way. Recent experiences in in- security have no doubt impressed us all with the wisdom of using these earnings to increase as much as, possible the security of our homes and professions. Certainly complete or substan- tial debt repayment or better adapted terms of repayment will contribute to security. Provision for a substantial reserve fund to protect against unusual hazards or as a basis of non -mortgage credit for temporary needs adds to this security. When well handled, this reserve is one of the most useful features of a good farm business. For effective farming, adequate reserves are as useful as modern equipment, and lack of reserves about as serious a handicap as the lack of modern equipment. Such a reserve should be re- garded as a permanent fea- ture of the farm business set- up. It will facilitate effective farm business operation year after year. War Bonds can provide this reserve in a most desirable way. They are as safe as our government itself, oarn inter- est, and can be readily turned into cash if absolutely neces- sary. Their purchase achieves the additional objective of helping to finance the tear. The present boom in land prices Indicates that many farmers, along with city investors, are put- ting some of their earnings into land. Unless such purchase is completely paid for, a mortgage debt, possibly at inflated values, may jeopardize the security aspect of such procedure. This practice is certainly contributing to a land price boom, which will not prove of help to American agriculture. Security for the farm family will require some replacement of equipment and some restoration of soil and improvements. Judg- ment would indicate gradual re- placement and restoration because supplies will be limited and costs probably high in the early post- war period. Should our postwar economy resemble that of the past, there will be more favorable times a little later for such replacements and improvements. Dollars will have more purchasing power than in the early postwar period- Savings eriodSavings carried as War Bonds should, therefore, be re- garded as reserves for two purposes, (1) postwar neces- sary replacements; and, chief- ly, (2) continuous reserves to provide for emergency operat- ing needs, just as extra power or feed serve to meet emer- gency needs. War Bonds are especially adapt- ed for investment of reserve funds not only because they are secure and can be turned into cash to meet an emergency need, but also because they are constantly earn- ing interest. Reserves carried as cash seldom do this. We will all need to help provide the carrying charges for the public debt when the war is over and the readjust- ment to peacetime employment is completed. Interest on such a re- serve fund will insure the owner that, to this extent, taxes to pay carrying charges on the public debt are not an extra burden. U. S.

It's no fun sitting in the dark simply because a blown fuse has plunged your house into a black- out. Most fuse trouble can be stopped before it happens by observing a few simple precautions. (1) Frayed lamp cords and extension cords are often responsible for short circuits. Such frayed cords are dangerous. Have them repaired BEFORE they cause trouble. (Don't loop cords over a nail. Don't kink cords or tie them in knots. Don't run cord through a door iamb or under rugs.) (2) Never put an electric appliance in water. Never poke at the element of your electric toaster (or any other appliance) with a fork or sharp tool, whether turned on or off. (3) Don't connect too many appliances and extra lamps on one circuit. (4) Be careful not to overload your washer, or feed too many pieces of clothing through the wringer at one time. The same is true of your ironer. (5) Disconnect appliances by pulling on the plug—never jerk out the cord. Do not let cords come in contact with water, grease or acids. (6) If a faulty lamp or appliance burns out a fuse, disconnect it at once—and don't use again until it has been repaired. Electricity is not rationed. But its production requires coal and railroad transportation. Don't waste ill The I T troit Edison Company , Long and short of it is—they got married!

Land and sea forces use far greater quantities of communica- tions equipment ... must have more and more as time goes on. Naturally, it has become increas- ingly difficult to fill telephone service requests here at home. In supplying a quarter of a million more telephones since the beginning of the Defense program, our reserve 1 i facilities have been about used up. -I Orders for telephones essential to the war effort are filled promptly. Other requests for new service are handled under a definite procedure as present users give up service. But there is a long and growing waiting list. We are confident you want war needs to be met ahead of all else. If you are inconvenienced, we trust you will understand. MICHIGAN SKI.
