The members of the 4-H Vic- tory Garden 'Club lcd Livonia Cen- ter have planned a tour of their gardens on July 26th, followed by a .picnic lunch at ;the home of -June Venus. Mrs. Ada Watson, the 4-H Club Agent 'of Wayne County and Mrs. Harry Daniels, Club Leader will accompany the gir s. The Club has had many interest- ing demonstrations on gardening, one on the insect control ,by dust- ing, given by Mrs. H. Daniels. At the last meeting a contest ,offered by :the Michigan State College was presented to the. members. It is the naming of varieties of many of the best known vegetables. Prizes will be given for the three best lists of names. -The members of the garden club are as follows: Jean Gillies, Marilyn S'chuma:cher,'Bar- bara and Inez Daniels, June Ven- us, Jean Tuck, Patsy Larsen, Bev- erly Kolak and :Doruthy Kolak. The Food: Prep ration Club for older girls is udder the leader- ship of Mrs. Ed 'Gillies and the meetings are 'usually held at the leader's and -club members' homes.

Peterson, Livonia Township Victory Garden C'h'air- man, recommends that gardeners use it on such. icrops :as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans and oth- er crops of which the edible por- tion of the plant is hit 'by ,the dust. Wise gardeners, she says, will conserve their stock of Rotenone for use on such plants, using cal- cium arsenate or other stomach poisons on root crops, the edible portion of which is not covered Eby the dust or spray. Cabbage can be sprayed or dusted with ar- senic up to about ten days prior to the time -of eating, provided the outer leaves .are peeled from the head before it is cooked. Rot- enone is very effective against cabbage worms and if used con- sistently on tole crops will bring about complete -control of these pests. Tomatoes are often consider- ably improved by a side dressing of Victory Garden Fertilizer ap- plied as the fruits are -starting to develop, according to Mrs. Peter- son. This fertilizer should be :ap- plied at the rate -of about a hand- ful to each plant, distributed around the plant in a circle ex- tending to about 18 inches from the stem. Work it into the spill, be- ing :careful not to get it on the fo- liage since -burning might result. Potatoes, corn, -cucumbers and other crops might also be bene fited'by a similar side dressing of fertilizer. Cultivation of your garden to a depth. of one inch, rather than three or four inches, is not only easier, but much :better at this season of the year, according to Mrs. Peterson. By this time weedsd should be well under control an shoud not need deep cultivation which might result in disturbing the roots of the plants. After the garden has dried out following a rain, light cultivation will keep the surface soil from caking and make it possible for succeeding rains to soak in. A mulch of straw or grass clip- pings •applied to your garden at this time of the year will prove very worthwhile, according to Mrs. A. T. M .Peterson, V. G. Chairman, for Livonia Township. A three or four inch mulch of straw will help to reduce 'blos- som -end rot on tomatoes and keep such crops as spinach, carrots and other greens free from sand and dirt normally splashed on them during heavy rains. It will also help to reduce -the weeding - that otherwise would be necessary. Rosedale Gardens P. T. A. sum- mer recreation program will open July 24. The leaders for the Oscar A.

Plymouth fishermen, -who a few years ago made a "smelt dipping" trip to northern Michigan an an- ual event, will be interested in knowing what happened to the smelt in the Great Lakes. John Van Ossten of the United States department of the interior and a well known authority on Great Lakes fish, recently wrote an article ion "The Great Smelt Mystery". It is of especial in- terest, not only to fishermen, but to other residents of Michigan. It follows: Last June, I reported on our 1943 smelt program .and referred to the heavy mortality of the fish. At the time all evidence pointed to the near extinction of the tre- mendously abundant smelt popu- lati,ons in Lakes Michigan and Huron, although records -of the 1943 poduction had not yet been compiled. The 1944 season was anxiously awaited in the hope that something might be learned concerning the extent of the de- cimation. A comparison of Michigan's 1942 and 1943 commercial catch records for the months of January to April inclusive is now possible. It may be explained that practically all of Mi.chigan's commercial production of smelt is taken during these months in Green Bay. The records indicate that the 1943 yield in January (907,000 pounds) was 6.7 times as large as the 1942 take,for the same month, indicating that the smelt were perhaps more abundant in 1943 than in 1942. In spite of the fact that the epidemic'. struck the smelt in Green Bay in the third week ;of February, the 1943 catch (7,66;000 :pounds) was nevertheless almost the same as ;.n 1942, again suggesting an in- creased abundance !of smelt. In March, however, normally the month of greatest yield, the 1943 output was only 42,200 pounds as compared -with the 1,283,000 pounds -taken in 1942. In. April, 1942 some 63,700 ,pounds were pro- duced; in April, 1943 none was re- ported. In addition, it was esti- mated, that in 1942 some 5;618,000 pounds of smelt were taken by dip- netters from streams during the spring spawning runs. In 1943 the dip -net catch probably did not reach 100,000 pounds. These figures bring out the fact that in all pr obability the 1943 season would have been a record year for smelt had not the mys- terious epidemic struck the spe- cies. It may be recalled that the disaster began in Lake Huron somewhere north of Saginaw Bay about September, 1942, and spread progressively northward into Georgian !Bay, through the Straits of Mackinac, across northern Lake Michigan including Lake Charlevoix but excluding Crystal Lake, and finally reached Green Bay in mid-February, 1,943. The winter of 1944 saw no commercial production of smelt at all except for a few scattered pounds. The largest dealer in smelt sent mea sample of 50 fish (five pounds) and wrote "this rep- resents one half of our winter catch." How about the smelt run, this spring? The first run appear- ed on April 12 :at Port Huron, in the St. Clair River. The fish were few in number and small i -ii size. On April 20 about 200 pound: were dipped from South Towr. Creek located between Thompsor and M:anistique. These smelt were of the usual size. Small runs were a•]so reported on about April 24 at East Tawas and Escanaba Vo other runs have been report- ed so far in Michigan and none have occurred in Wisconsin so far as I know. It is of interest to re- ,-ord here that the first spawning run of smelt has been reported for the Canadian shore of both Lakes Erie (near Rondeau) and Ontario (near Kingston). The epidemic did not reach these two lakes nor Lake Superior where the species has not yet become very abundant. The disaster that wiped out uncounted millions of smelt in Lakes Huron and Michigan has created a widespread public in- terest. Newspapers throughout the Great Lakes have featured articles on "The Great Smelt Mystery" and even the magazine "Time" has carried the story. I have received letters from .as far west and north as British Columbia, Oregon, Manitoba, and as far south os Alabama offering varied explanations of the mystery. The letters suggest- ed such interesting explanations as a change in the chemical com- position of the fish, super "sonic" vibrations which disintegrated the nervous system, overpopula- tion which Jed to mass suicide, and sabotage by Japanese. How- ever, these and many other more reasonable suggestions are un- tenable in the light of all the known facts. The progressive movement of the mortality through the dense populations of smelt wherever there was a pos- sible close contact between in- dividuals suggests an infectious disease. Thus, for example, the smelt died in Lake Charlevoix where they had free access from Lake Michigan but did not die in Crystal Lake where the access from Lake Michigan was cut off by a dam. ,If the disease theory, which explains all known facts fairly well, is unacceptable then Page Thr" the devasting mortality of the Great Lakes smelt must remain an unsolved mystery. About 14,50'0:00 people worked more than 20,000,000,000 hours on American farms last year. Of these producers, 3,500,000 were volunteer Crop Corps worker...

MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY * INVEST IN VICTORY —BUY MORE WAR BONDS Page Taus THE LIVONLILN Wednesday, July 19, 1944 New Auto Law Now In Force Plymouth auto owners will be interested in a news dispatch from Lansing which states that it is the intention of the Secre- tary of State to begin immediate enforcement of the Michigan fi- nancial responsibility act, passed by :the 1943 session of the state legislature. Its enforcement, which has been held up due to court action, will be thorough, it is stated. The supreme court has sustained the act and there is no longer reason for delay in its enforcement, say officials. Herman H. Dignan, secretary of state, said 6,195 accident re- ports required under the new law have been filed since July 29 1943, the day the law became effective, and represent,only half of the re- ports since both parties involved in an automobile accident must submit reports. An agreement between litigants halted enforcement of the 'law and study of the reports until the Supreme Court had rendered its decision. Dignan said thousands of poli- cies had been sold to Michigan motorists on the !basis of the new law , adding that probably 75 per cent of all automobile operators and owners would seek finan- cial responsibility under the act.' He said experiences in other states adopting -similar statutes Proves this point. Lee C. Richardson, chief of the motor vehicle division, said 15 ex- tra employers would be needed to handle the work He said about 30 percent of the reports filed would require checking with State Po -- ice and local .police departments. The •act is semi -compulsory in that automo'bil'e operators or own - ars are not forced to carry finan- cial responsibility, but they stand , the risk of losing their driving privileges if they cannot show fi- nancial responsibility after be- coming involved in an accident. The act specifies that motorists involved in an •accident must file a report of that accident with the Secretary of State's office within 10 days, and must ;prove within 60 days after the accident finan- cial responsibility to cover dam- ages resulting from the mishap, if they involve personal injury or death. This responsibility may be demonstrated by putting up a cash deposit, a bond, or a auto in- surance policy. Township Briefs Mr. and Mrs. J.

Your electric range can help conserve these important minerals and food values, and aid in the preparation of healthful meals for your family if you follow these simple rules: (1) Use little water in. cooking. Half -a -cup is ample for rrnst vegetables. Water-soluble vitamins are boiled away and poured down the sink when you use large quantities of water, wasting the very things you pay for. By steam -cooking vegetables, this loss is held to a mini- mum. Avoid the vitamin -destroying effect of the boil- ing process. (2) Avoid prolonged and violent boiling. The less time foods are exposed to high heat, liquid and air, the smaller the loss of their vitamin content. On an electric range, there is no large amount of water to be heated before the cooking can start. (3) Use covered utensils and do not stir. Air destroys certain vitamins, and stirring simply puts extra air into the food. Always use covered utensils when cooking on the surface units of your range.

The mean—days of labor lost through farm accidents in 19431 alone could have produced, the nation's entire wheat crop for ,one year. The number of farm people killed by accidents in America's first -two years of war was greater than the number of American fighting men killed .on all battle- fronts in the same period Those facts were cited today by the National Safety Council in ur- ging nationwide observance of National Faun Safety Week, July' 23-29. Purpose .of the week is to focus national attention on the need for year-round: prevention of acci- dents that waste farm manpower and !production vital to victory. The council and all agencies concerned with agriculture, and farm life have joined in spon- soring the far(n safety week, which has been proclaimed offi- icially by President Roosevelt. "Loss of life and 'lim'b by acci- dent among our farming popula- tion has already reached an ap- - palling figure,"said the President, "and the risks have lately been increased by longer hours of work and consequent fatigue. "It is essential to our war effort that this waste sof vital farm pow- er be minimized in every possi- ble way. "I, therefore request all per- sons and organizations concern- ed with .agriculture and frim life to unite in an effort, during this National Farm Safety Week, to stimulate among farmers a full stant attention to the old and fa - Baseball Oldtimers Baseball stars of another era made their appearance at the Polo grounds where the three New York teams, Yankees, Dodgers and Giants, played a three -cornered game for the Fifth War Loan drive.

In endorsing the observance of National Farm 'Slafety Week, Sec- retary of Agriculture -Claude R. Wickard and War Food Adminis- trator Marvin •H.

Fire annually destroys between $75,000,000 and $100,000,000 worth of farm property—not to mention the many lives lost. Among the chief causes of farm fires are: Smoking near ripe grain, hay or gasoline, and carelessness with cigarettes and matches anywhere ---stoves and flues overheated, uncleaned or locaated too near wall paper or woodwork—careless handling of gasoline and kero- Bene—defective electric wiring and flammable roofs. Deaths from farm work acci- dents last .year totalled more than those in any of the other five�ma- jor industries.
