WOLFE, Livonia Township Clerk Page Four T21E LIVONL46N Michigan Flies Go On Vacation Karl H. Starkweather went on a well-earned vacation a week or so ago. He decided that he'd like to go "south" as far as Cin- cinnati, at least. So did some Michigan house- flies—according to a letter written to The Mail from Cincinnati. The letter follows: "Somewhere I read that the entire career of a common house- fly is expanded within 1000 feet from the point where it was formed. That's a durned lie. Be- fore I tell you how I know it's a lie, however, let me tell you about my little trip down here to old Cincy. You see, my job granted me a two weeks vacation. - de- cided that I would like to spend half of it at home, and the other half away from home. I wanted to see some point where I had not been before. "Now I wealct have liked to have come down here in the day time, actually, but I came in the night time. The reason for that was because I did not get myself ready in time to go in the day time. As a matter of fact, my -%., thought that I would never get ready to go anywhere at any time. By the time the Detroit bound train was whistling foi the 8:38 Plymouth stop last Tues- day night, however, I was almost ready to start. My bag was still being packed. Yes. I made the train—just made it. I had for- gotten nothing but my clothe; brush and needed pair of shoe laces. "Not having nad time tc round up my family for the final good-bye, I did so by telephone from th Union depot in Detroit. I left the Union depot over the B & O at 11:45 the same night for Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to get a comfortable seat, and it an air conditioned coach. My only regret was that I would be un- able to see the crops and the rail- road stations on the way down Everything has its compensations. however, and so I planned or having a night of uninterrupted enjoyable reading. No, I wasn'i thinking a thing about sleep. 1 could sleep next week. If I should eventually doze off, then O. K.— if not, then also O. K. I wasn't worrying.

So after four or less the lights were dimmed. I was in the soup—I mean the dark. I wanted to read, but the privilege was denied me. "I did my best to peer out the windows and to penetrate the darkness. The train traveled fast but would sometimes slow up. The train men called no stations on the way down and I never knew where I was at. I would frequently see dark outlines sil- houetted against the deeper backgrounds. In the midst of awful war there was now only peace and quiet. I was disturbed only by hungry flies. "Now these flies could really bite. They boarded the train in Detroit and were deadheading it to points south for the winter. They stayed with me all the way down. That's why I know that it's a durned lie when someone says that the common housefly lives out its life within 1000 feet where it was born."

More buildings, cables, central office apparatus, and telephones are needed. But we cannot undertake to provide them until war needs are reduced greatly. Today the armed forces take about all the communi- cations equipment that can be made. Dependent on business conditions, materials, manpower, and funds, the program is being engineered to: 1 Provide service to nearly 90,000 persons who now can't get it. 1 Expand both urban and rural service to meet anticipated demand, and to restore safe margins of facilities. 3 Assure prompt completion of Long Distance calls for the growing number of users. 4 Carry out plant betterments suspended because of the war. Such a program of additions will be necessary if the Company is to continue to furnish the grade of service the public expects and is to take its place in an expanded national economy. We shall welcome the day when that program can be started.

Heat Exhaustion A person suffering from beat ex- haustion should be removed to culating air and placed in a lying position. Keep the person warm and administer stimulants. Give him salt water to drink—one teaspoon to a pint, given as small drinks at fre- quent intervals. Call a physician if patient is not soon relieved. Stick to the Boat Safety experts point out that many lives are needlessly lost each year through failure of people to cling to overturned boats following acci- dents. Boats float and will usually support persons indefinitely until help arrives, whereas attempts to swim long distances to shore are often ill-fated. Hot Lacquer A special type of lacquer, which can be heated and sprayed hot for protection of some types of war equipment, is said to allow the ap- plication of much thicker coats than can be obtained normally without sacrificing any of the desirable char acteristics of lacquer. Penal institutions exclusively for women are maintained today by only 21 states, the other 27 still confining their female felons and misdemeanants in jails and prisons whose employees and in- mates are chiefly men.

One that few people realize is that the rubber producing center of the world is now right here in the United States. "When the Japs conquered the big natural rubber producing centers of the world they thought they had us licked. But in two short years, thanks to American industry, we are now producing synthetic rubber enough to supply all our military and essential civilian needs. "Our rubber experts knew how to make it but the problem was to get the huge amounts of industrial alcohol needed. Al- most overnight the country's beverage dis- tillers stopped making whiskey and converted 100% to the production of this vital in- gredient. A high government official said recently this was '...an almost unparalleled example of the overnight conversion of an entire industry from peace to war."'

Little Meat For Civilian Use While Canadians across the river have a plentiful supply of the best meat there is, people in Plymouth are suffering from a shortage of meat points. A check reveals that red point rationing at the present time is the severest since the start of the war. Every ration book holder is now getting only seven and a hal points a week for all red -point purchases. But butter is now twenty points, which means that a, household with only two books can't even buy a pound of but- ter a week, let alone meat. It was pointed out that there are many items which do not re- quire red points, but those sup- plies are unavailable at any price. For instance utility grades of beef are unrationed, but who has any? All of the meat in Plymouth is the best,- or second grade. That is labelled AA or A. It is the only kind the dealers can get. Some of the lesser cuts of the better beef is also unrationed, but l again, it is seldom available, and in his politics..

Those who are more par- ticular are so neat in her opinior that their families must be mis- erable. A century ago, 80 cut of every 100 Americans owned the prop- erty and equipment with which they earned their living; where- as today, only 15 out of 100 are in this independent position. * Buy War Bonds Thorough Examination by Skilled Optometrists PtUhT Dr. M.
