Under no condition exceed the passenger capacity of the ,boat that is used. Do not use an unseaworthy boat. Do not go :on the water when a storm is approaching or when the water is rough. Do not wear boots or other ham- pering clothing when in a boat. Do not purposely rock a boat or permit any horseplay by other boat occupants. If, unfortunately, a boat cap- sizes, stay with it. Secure a firm hand -hold and wait for help or drift ashore with the -craft. If there are two persons in a boat that capsizes, they should` ,hold hands across the bottom of the boat. Do not jump overboard to re- trieve a lost oar without first l dropping anchor; the boat may drift -away faster than its oc- upants can swim: Never stand up in a boat to'. hoist anchor, change position or cast. Do not put a large motor on a small boat. Carry a life preserver or buoy- ant cushion in the boat. Red Cross Calls For More Dressings Surgical dressings are needed more now than ever ibefore.

Former Livonia Township Boy Is Pacific Bomber Hero Lieut. Albert F. Wolfram, son'�-- of Mrs. Alma E. Wolfram, form- erly a resident in Livonia town-: y ship on Middlebelt road who now Helps Sink Jap Boats lives in Pontiac, has won distme- tion in the vast wear being fought in .the Pacific against the Japs, j according to news dispatches from that part of the world. A ,battle late in May in which ten Mitchell bombers, one flown 'by Lieut. Wolfram sank four Jap warships, was his latest exploit. Some three months ago he took part in a flight in which three Jap ships were sunk. After completing his scnool work in Livonia township, Lieut. Wolfram entered Berea College, Berea, Kentucky and was graduat- ed there in 1940. Prior to enlist- i ment in the Air Corps in June, 1841, he was assistant purchasing agent'at the Y. M. C. A. head - :quarters in Detroit. Lieut Wol- fram has been overseas for about six and a halt months before his ,exploit off the Dutch New Guinea coast.

Japanese warships racing eastward toward Biak Island, where the Nipponese garrison is in trouble. It was 1:15 P. m. Broken clouds obscured the formation, but the protective covering came too late. The leader of the Mit - ch.ells signalled an attack and down the formation plunged for a deadly skip -bombing run. By 1:30 it was all over. In spites of a hail of defensive fire, the Mitchells had sunk four des- troyers and left a fifth smoking and wallowing dead in the water, and had put a carrier and sixth destroyed to rout. The performance drew from Maj. -Gen. Ennis Whitehead, com- manding the Fifth Air Force Bomber Command, this commen- dation: "Congratulations to you all. You men have this date performed one of the finest military feats of the war," The attack was made in the face of 10 to one odds. Three of the Mitchells, including the forma- tion's dashing leader, failed to return. As the bombers twisted and weaved toward their target, the major leading the flight radioed: My wingman and I will hit !the destroyer and cruiser on the left flank and divert their fire. Pick .your targets." i A moment later he was heard Lieut, Albert F.

Mr. Harms. said that heretofore when a man was placed in 1-A he was sent to Detroit to take his pre -induction physical examin tion. The draftee then was se home to await the official call for service, 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. Sheri- dan, and if in the navy would go to Detroit. But effective the first of July, that system will be abandoned. 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 must be said in Ply- mouth, for there will be no op- portunity for that in Detroit.

WOLFS, Livonia Township Clerk 6 PAge roue THE LIVOMIAN Wednesday, July 5, 19.44 Garden Chairman Gives More Tips Gardeners who find it difficult to germinate seeds in hot, dry weather will do well to adopt the following practices, assording to Mrs. A. T. M. Petersen, Livonia Township Victory Garden Chair- man. Seed trenches made at this time of the year should be a little deeper than those made in the spring. Before sowing the seeds, soak the soil thoroughly. Cover them as soon as possible but do not entirely fill the trench. The slight depression thus created will catch any moisture that may fall as light rain or dew. Maintenance of an even mois- ture content in the sail is import- ant, since, if the soil dries out ex- tensively, the seedlings that :are starting to germinate may die of drought. It is also important to prevent the formation of a crust over the seeds before thew have germinated. Therefore, to check evaporation and to shade the soil from sun, it may be desirable to cover the seed row with narrow boards. If boards .are not avail- able, use buhlap or paper. Boards, however, are to be preferred since they can be raised on cross pieces of wood an inch or two above the ground to permit the circulation of air, thus checking danger of early damping off. Whatever protection .you use—boards, bur- lap or paper—remove it as soon as the seedlings start to appear through the ground. Robert Hancock Wounded In France Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Hancock of Rosedale Gardens received a let- ter from their son, Robert, stat- ing that he had been wounded in action in France and that he was now backin England in a hospi- tal. In the service a little over eight months, Robert was .among the first troops to land in Nor- mandy. According to his letter the says he was shot in the right foot -by a German sniper and was operated on immediately ion the battle' ground, then returned to .a 'base hospital in England. He said in his letter that the expected to be in the hospital several months and he asks all his friends to write to him to help to puss the time.

Pruitt skipped a 500 -pounder on the bow and Wol- fram scored a direct hit on the stern. "They were throwing up a wat- er -barrage at us by firing five- inchers directly ahead of us," said Pruitt's navigator, Lieut Kenneth J. Anderson, Trenton, Mich. "We saw the flash, then the splash, !but flew right through it." The Dragon's tailgunner'Carl F. Boehme, San Jose, Calif., rak- ed the sinking destroyer's !decks with his twin fifties. Pruitt's radioman, Staff Sgt. Leonard Trompke, Frenso, Calif., said he heard the Japanese on the radio shouting in English, "turn right, what angles (altitude) are you?" It was a futile attempt to confuse the American fliers. The third destroyer was sunk by the "Mad Missourian," flown by Lieut Archie P. Trantham, Cape Girardeau, Mo., and "!Sac- ramento Belle," with Lieut Rob- ert A. Beck, New Albany, Ind., piloting. Lieut. Paul R. Sciortino, New Orleans, saw two enemy ships smoking and settling another about to go under.

A destroyer which was provid- ing a close screen for the cruiser made a close screen for the cruiser made a 90 degree turn, exposing the plane on the Witch's wing— "The Straggler"—to a stream of fire. "The Straggler" blew up in mid-airand winged over into the sea. Lightnings flying top cover for the Mitchells lingered after the engagement and confirmed the sinkings. Pilots reported that on- ly the cruiser and a damaged des- troyer survived the savage 5 - minute attack. "Magnificently done," General MacArthur said to the heoric men -who with only 10 Mitchell bombers hunted out, found, and attacked' six destroyers and a cruiser, sinking four destroyers. Seven, of the 10 planes came home damaged and one carried a navigator whose leg was blown off. Three of the planes were lost. popp— COST O i `J,j r OF ELEC7RIC1iY YOUR "HIGH COST OF LIVING" WOULD BE LOW if all prices were as low as ELECTRICITY!

Showground N. End of Lake Pilchard Catch A considerable portion of the pil- chard catch is reduced to oil and meal. The meal is used in the manufacture of poultry feed to pro- vide the indispensable animal pro- tein, and the oil, which is a source of vitamin D, is also used to fortify feed and has many industrial uses. Production of meal this year was 76,032 tons, compared with 71,828 tons in 1942-43, and oil production was 14.304,253 gallons, as against 12, 508, 958 Dusting Seed In North Carolina in 1935 less than one per cent of the cotton growers, representing only about 7,000 acres, dusted their seed. Six years later, 87 per cent of the state's growers used seed that had been dusted, with a profit from treatment estimated at an average of nearly $10 an acre. Last year aproximately a million acres of North Carolina's cotton was grown from treated seed. Feed More Crops will feed more people than will meat and other livestock prod- ucts produced from them. An acre of land in corn would produce grain to feed a person 635 days. This amount of corn, fed to °hogs, would produce enough pork to feed a per- son only 125 days. In addition the production of pork would require much additional labor. Burma Population There are nearly 17,000,000 people in Burma. Of these, about 12,000,000 are Burmese, 1,500,000 Karens, 1,200,000 Shans, 1,000,000 immigrant Indians, and the remaining 1,000,000 include the frontier tribes, mostly Chins and Kachins, and immigrants other than Indians, of whom the most numerous are the Chinese (250,000). Cooking Fish Did you know that fish should be cooked at a low or moderate tem• perature? Yes, fish should be cook- ed just as you cook eggs or meat.i You know that high heat tends to toughen all protein foods. Fish cook- I ed by this method is very tender and is less likely to break up when re- moving from pan to serving dish. * Buy War Bonds * Page Nine IRA WILSON & SONS DAIRY 31441 Plymouth Road ROSEDALE GARDENS - Opening Soon To Serve You SUNDAES SODAS MALTEDS LUNCHES MILK CHEESE BUTTER CANDY EGGS — Operated by Mary M.

He must be fully supplied with all fhai we can provide now, and he must be cared for when he returns. Those are obligations which we as cit- izens of America must ful- fill. The citizens of the newly created seventh legislative District are very largely em- ployed in the construction of the tools of war. Prac- tically, this makes them an essential part of ordnance of the fighting forces. Their present employmen ` will end with the return of the soldier. . Thus, to some extent, at least, the problem of the returning serviceman and the citizen of this dis- trict is the same. Both groups must be cared for. The State must should- er its part in meeting this problem. The Legislature must be prepared with plans to solve this problem. I have seen this problem coming and ask your sup- port that I might do what I can to help in solving it. July 11 Robert C.

Still Time To Plant Sweet Corn Gardeners can still sow early varieties of sweet corn - for a late crop of roasting ears, says Mrs. Petersen, Victory Garden Chair- man, but they should sow them this week. Whether corn is plant- ed in hills or rows makes little difference, provided the plantsl are spaced far enough apart. If i planted in hills, corn should be thinned out to the three strongest plants in each hill when the planus are •about five inches high. If sweet corn is spaced sufficiently far apart, it is not necessary to remove the suckers. Sweet corn is at its best •about 21 days after Bilking. Learn to judge when the ears are ready to pick by feeling the tips, not by stripping back the husks. When the kernels make the husks at the ear -tip tight, the ear is ready to pick. The Cooper School is having a four room addition to their school. Thursday evening, 7:45. should be started very soon. The addition should be completed by December.
