The amendment to WFO., 75, ef- fective May 24, revokes the re- quirements that farmers must have a permit to slaughter and de- liver meat to persons .not living on the farm. Rationing -and price regulations of the OPA must be adhered to. This action was nec- essary to facilitate the movement of heavy supplies of livestock from farmers into consumer channels. * "It's odd about sailors," mused a Red Cross hospital unit worker.

In -one month this spring more than 29,700 emergency Red Cross home service messages were re- ceived from overseas requesting reports on -home conditions, al- lowance and allotment informa- tion and furlough verifications. Every one of the nation's 3,756 Red ICToss chapters assists dis- abled ex -servicemen or their fam- ilies in filing applications for vet- erans benefits and compensation. Induction Plan To Be Changed .Effective July ,the first, family farewells to men leaving for serv- ice must ;be said at the local in- duction center rather than in De- troit. Walter Harms, chairman of the local draft board, explained the new regulations this week govern- ing the induction of men into the armed services. Heretofore, a man was placea in 1-A, and was sent to Detroit to take his pre -induction physical examination. The draftee then was sent home to await the official call for serv- ice, and the man had pretty fair knowledge whether he was going into the navy or into the army. If it was the army, he would be sent direct to Ft. Sheridan, and if in the navy would go to Detroit. But effective the first of the month, that system will be a- bandoned. After the man has had his pre- induction physical examination, he will be sent home to await his call.` When the call comes, he will be sent back to the Detroit induction center, and there he will be told ,whether he is going into the :army or the navy. The result will be that family farewells- nzust be said in Ply- mouth, for there will be no op- portunity for 'that in Detroit. 291 waiting For Telephones Here The Michigan Bell Telephone Company today :announced it has a waiting list of more than 75,- 000 orders for telephone service that it cannot fill because of the demands of war for communica- tion facilities. John R. 'MacLachlan, manager for the company, said the backlog unfilled nfilled orders is increasing at the rate_,of nearly 7,000 a month, with no prospect that the situa- tion will improve for some time. He pointed out that Western Elec- tric Company, manufacturing unit of the Bell System, has confined virtually its entire output since November, 1942, to military and war -production needs. Western ng Electric is makimore than a third of all communication facil- ities manufactured in this country for war. The- announcement said that there are 291 delayed orders in the Livonia -exchange :area, The situation is so -critical at most 'points in the company's ter- ritory, MacLachlan continued, that service can be :granted only if it is essential to the, wear, pub- lic health or the ;public security, as defined by regulations of the War Production Board. If spare facilities are available after meet- ing that priority, orders are then filled on a first-come, first-served basis. "Telephone instruments do not comprise ,the only shortage ,of fac- ilities for .civilian purposes," Mac- Lachlan said. "More than half the delayed orders also are held Up ;because of shortage of .cable, wire, and central office facilities. Two years -of war have used up about all of the reserves which always have ben built up into the telephone system." * CUB :PACK NEWS Rosedale Garden Cub Pack No. 1 met at the club house on Fri- day, June 23, 1944. :Gerald Rapers and Russell Ber- nard were the newly initiated members. Donald Geisler; Clark Heseltine and Douglas Mancreiff were graduated into Boy 'Scouts. ,The Cubs were disappointed in the small number of parents and friends who turned out for their boxing match which was really a "Golden Gloves" tournament- on ournamenton a miniature scale. 'Their wastepaper collection re- port was noteworthy and residents of Rosedale Gardens are again urged to "save their scrap paper for the Cubs." SCHOOL BAND PICNIC On Friday,. June 23, children from Rosedale and Elm school band went to Put -In -Bay for the day. They were in the park for six hours having tw`o picnic meals. Mr. Guinan, their bandmaster was in charge of the group. Those to enjoy the excursion were: Jane Timmis, Jack Kinner, Nadine Smale, Harvey Kelly, - Arthur Scott, Eric Mason, Glen Wegner, Bill Sayre, Lorine Vincent, $ever- ly Patrick, Miranda Eads, Martha, Lostutter, -Shirley Adams, Ralph Kelly, Margie Wolfrum, Frank Cooper, Gardner Holmes, Dale Miller, Helen Holmes, Eric Rich- ardson, Bob Adams, Roy Liddle, Earl Prince, Howard Eads, Jack Carney and Eugene DeWollf. The corporal in New Guinea joined the •army because of the Red Cross blood donor program. At least, his explanation was: "I've been •giving my blood see, pint by pint, and when they had it all, I came over after it."

The crop is mak- ing good progress and should come into production by August 1. Early sown fields of carrots are looking good. Many late sown fields have thin stands due to heat and wind damage. A con- siderable acreage has been torn up and some has .been replanted. Carrots :planted in June are likely to burn off as they come up. The Grant Area had a greater loss of acreage than other sections. Some acreage may still be abandoned to weeds. Michigan's early celery crop is looking good. Blight is showing UP in some •crops but is not seri- ous. A few early crops started to move from Kalamazoo and Hud- sonville on June 12th. Harvest will be quite general in the Kala- mazoo area by June 20. Muske- gon growers have been delaying the start of harvest in order to get better size. This .area will ship in fair volume during the week of June 19 to 24th. The Grand Haven crop is a little later than Muskegon and should start cutting by June 22nd. A light movement is expected from De- catur by the 21st. Most early crops will be in production by the end of the month from all commercial areas except Imlay 'City. Favorable growing weather has', brought the onion crop along at a rapid rate_ after a late start.' Weeds have been serious on most farms and a considerable acreage) has been abandoned on account of the shortage of help or the high weeding costs. The crop in the northern part of Ionia County is in excellent condition. Some fields are weedy .but there is ample war prisoner labor to do the weeding job. The Grant crop is in good condition generally. Some stands were thinned by hot weather and wind and a few acres were blown out. Most fields are clean. The Gunn Swamp area looks good. A few fields are weedy and about 10 percent of the acreage has been abandoned on account of weeds on poor stands. Calhoun county growers have had .a battle with weeds and will lose about 10 percent of their acreage. The Stockbridge- Munith area has very high weed- ing costs and has lost a consider- able acreage. The season has been wet at Imlay City and some acres have been abandoned on account of weeds and maggots. The crop is very late in this area. The strawberry crop in south- western Michigan was severely damaged by dry weather. The crop brought ceiling prices until June 12th when the quality and size declined. The movement will be light for the rest of the season from this area. Processors were able to buy some of the berries when the prices dropped. Local supplies in the central part of the State are at their peak. Vines are still blooming in northern areas.

Dr. James B. Griffin, Associate Curator of Anthropology at the'. University of Michigan, has just published a book, "The Fort An- cient Aspect." In it he describes the archeological research he has been conducting in the Mississippi Valley Dr. Griffin discovered that the Indians who occupied the area short- ly before the coming of the white man had an annoying habit. In- stead of digging usual graves for their dead, they dug holes in the side of already existing mounds and shoved the bodies in. There the complications began. The mounds were the work of a much older Indian people who placed their dead in, rows and piled small hills of dirt over them. The archeologists' headaches begin when they try to figure out whien burials were the shoved and which the laid out variety.

The decision means that this part of Wayne county for, the first time in more than a quarter of century will be without a county fair during the late summer months. The flair directors decided that because of war conditions and the severe shortage of labor, that it would be next to an impossibility to stage a successful fair this year. President Snow hopes that con- ditions will be different another ,year, and if the war has been won by that time, he hints that he would like to make the 1945 flair a sort of a jubilee event. The Northville Fair Association has won the reputation of staging one of the best little fairs in the entire state and it is the purpose of its officers to maintain the same high standard when the fair is resumed. * Buy War Bonds * SQUARE DEAL BODY SHOP J.
