The order provides that any man, no matter what his handicaps might be, if under 38 years, of age and not working. at some busi- ness which is of aid to the war effort, must seek immediate employ- ment in some industry 'helping the war. If any one in this group quits his present job, he must report to the United States employment office and to his local draft board immediately. Many who have been employed in industrial and business places not regarded as essential to the war, have already gone into some of the local war plants or made application for ,positions. Meanwhile at the Kelsey -Hayes machine gun plant in Plymouth experienced women war workers are being laid off and they report that they are unable to secure positions elsewhere. *THE L )altered at the Plymouth, MiftgwN Postotlice w Seeond CIA Me31 Matt Phone Plymouth 16 Vol. -6, No. 48 Wednesday, January 17, 1945 Township Briefs The beginners contract group met Thursday at the home of Mrs. Matthew Meerman. * * * A special meeting was held at the.

Serving more than half the people of Michigan Page faur One of the great needs in barns on many Michigan farms is larg- er mangers, maintains Carl F. Huffman, of the dairy depart- j ment of Michigan State college.' By this he means that many dairy farmers are overlooking a good method of producing milk cheap- ly—that of feeding large quant- ities of roughage. Some mangers dust aren't big enough to hold all the roughage that a cow should eat, and others are big enough but don't get enough hay into them, he in- sists. The buying of protein supple- ments can be avoided almost en- tirely by feeding plenty of high quality alfalfa or alfalfa-brome hay, Huffman points out. By high quality, he means hay that has been early cut, if leafy, high in color and of good aroma. Hay can vary from 300 to 400 per cent in its milk -making cap - "The Friendliest Atmosphere in Northwest Detroit" OLD TIMER TAVERN Lahser oad at Grand River REDFORD LIQUOR - BEER - WINE Modern & Old Time Dancing Fri., Sat., Sun, nights MUSIC BY WESTERN ACES JIMMY THRAPP, Prop.

The average cow should re- ceive up to 20 to 30 pounds of roughage per day from October) through March. Those getting that amount come out of the'. barn in better health, give more milk, and give better results on spring and summer pasture. Only a minimum of grain is necessary for cows fed with good roughage, and millions of dollars worth of feed could be saved by this practice, Huffman says. The log cabin is not native to America and it was unknown to', our earliest colonists, such as those at Jamestown and Plym- outh. This type of construction was introduced by the Swedes who founded their first settlement here in 1638 on a site that is now a part of Wilmington, Delaware. * Buy War Bonds Upholstering Old Furruiture Made to Look " Like New FREE ESTIMATES Phone Redford 3199 91261 Fenkell Corner Westbrook Now operated under the sole direction of Ray Thorpe Re -arranged — in fact its just Located on the Corner of Middlebelt at Joy .

Will it be "put on the shelf" as a discarded war emergency material when real rubber is once more available? Not at all. Used in insu- lation for wires and sheaths for cables, some synthetic rubbers are better than the real thing. They are unaf- fected by conditions which cause natural rubber to deteriorate, our Research Laboratory finds. They do not crack or check in sunlight or under exposure to the ozone generated by some high-voltage electrical equipment. SUGAR SAVER.

Because house wiring is buried in the walls, out of sight, it is usually "out of mind"—and little understood. But don't think it isn't important! It carries the "life blood" of the modern house—the flow of elec- tricity. And just as a too -small pipe can lessen the flow of water in your plumbing, so can a too -small wire choke off the flow of electricity. Don't deny yourself enjoyment of dozens of postwar electric appliances because of inadequate house wiring. If you are plan- ning a new home, be sure your wiring is large enough to allow full use of tomorrow's electrical living. ffikke i.. dNF� SEVEN STORIES OF STEAM.

Optimism concerning the farm machinery outlook became wide- spread following recent announce- ment of the lifting of the restric- tions on the manufacturing of machinery. There was a growing belief that an abundance of new machinery would become avail- able next spring. As a result, a slackening of old machine re- pairing has become an epidemic. But all old equipment will ) be needed, for it is expected that the "lead time" (period neces- sary from the time materials are made available until machines can be manufactured and placed on market) that is necessary for the production of many types of equipment will probably pre- vent any significant increase in the quantity. Labor and production facilities will be utilized for manufacture of such labor saving equipment as corn pickers, side- delivery rakes, pick-up balers and com- bines. Production of repair parts will remain at a high level in 1945, college agricultural engin- eers have learned. Any parts used in quantities in war pro- duction will remain difficult to obtain. These include engine and electrical equipment parts. Individuals today enjoy a com- pensation for saving money that may never come again in their lifetime. One of the most profitable rac-' kets carried on in this country during the past two years has been the selling of Bibles with a steel cover that, it was claimed, will protect the heart of a soldier from bullets or shrapnel if he car- ries the book in his left breast pocket. When this claim was test- ed, however, the .38 -caliber bul- lets' fired at those Bibles, at a dis- tance of 15 feet, went clear through them and lodged in the planks an which they were fasten- ed. The 1945 legislature will be asked to enact legislation prohi- biting the use by hunters of auto- matic or semi-automatic guns ca- pable of firing more than seven shots.

A permanent in- junction will be sought to restrain the Commis- sion from putting the order into effect. We have no liking for litigation. It is a time- consuming process that is as distasteful to the company as it must be to the public. An order that jeopardizes our ability to provide good service by whittling away at our already inadequate earnings, however, cannot go un- challenged. The public interest impels us to seek the protection of the courts. The order is based upon the theory that excess profits taxes should be returned to customers rather than to the Federal Treasury as intended by the tax law. One out of every five tax dollars collected by the Treasury today comes from excess profits taxes. In this case, the Govern- ment would take a loss of $3,000,000. Although the Federal Treasury would bear the brunt of the loss involved in such a rebate, one- seventh of the amount would come from the company. The order for 1944, unless restrained, could be repeated for 1945 and other years. Such a whittling process takes on the aspect of a permanent rate reduction to the jeopardy of the service rendered the public. If we are to take our place in the expanding na- tional economy anticipated after the war, and once again provide service on a basis of "when and where wanted", the Michigan Bell must un- dertake a postwar construction program requir- ing the expenditure of $120,000,000 in 5 years. That program will provide jobs not only for its 3,000 men and women returning from the armed forces, but for many others as well. The telephone industry has no royal road to money to finance its postwar program. It must compete with other industries in the open market for capital. To attract the investor's dollar, our earnings must be comparable with the average for other industries—not at a rate one-third lower, as is the case today. The Michigan Bell has no desire to profit at the expense of war. It hasn't. The company's wartime earnings today are a quarter lower than in the pre-war period, 1936-39. The price of telephone service is one of the few things that has not undergone a sharp wartime rise. On the contrary, rate reductions since 1939 are resulting in current savings of nearly $4,350,000 a year to our customers. There is one thing our customers want, and that is good service. The telephone bill for the best of service is so small a part of the customer's budget that he does not want anything less than the best even though he might get it at a lower cost. For these reasons, we believe we're under the strongest obligation to seek our day in court. We believe our cause to be a just one in the interest of those served by the company, those who own it, and those who depend upon it for their living. GEORGE M.

Household Hint . To make the house smell sweet and clean, and to eliminate cooking odors, colonial wives sprinkled a few pinches of powdered cloves on a small shovelful of burning coals and carried it around the house.

Midget Searchlight A midget searchlight, no larger than a walnut, yet so powerful that it will project a 1500 -candlepower beam for 60 nautical miles, is new equipment for rubber rafts. Sponge Useful A sponge is useful for ironing or pressing materials that need to be dampened. Just rub the sponge over the dry section. There will be no trail of lint left. Need Wool Care Some drapery and upholstery fabrics contain mohair from the Angora goat. A few are made from wool. Give such fabrics regular wool care. As Whisk Up Grease A dining -room rug catches crumbs and grease. A quick brush -up after a meal may whisk off grease be- fore it can soak in. Growing Peppermint California is growing Japanese peppermint for menthol. The pep- permint oil industry is the largest Volatile oil industry in the U. S. These pneumatic pants prevent U. S. fighter pilots from blacking out in aerial maneuvers by applying pressure to the pilot's abdomen and legs during a pullout or turn, preventing the blood from pooling in the lower extremities and aiding the heart to maintain circulation to the brain. They are inflated by lung power or by mechanical devices. Many civilian accidents as well as military resulted from blacking out. The new pneumatic pants will largely do away with the condition, often fatal in war as well as peace. Gunnery of B-29 Superf onresses Windage I2yds. Direction of gunk;�� S~Gravity 4.6yds.

Spoils Shape Overstuffing your bag will spoil its shape and weaken the fastenings and seams, so carry only what you really need in your purse. At sea- son's end when you want to put your handbag away, stuff crumpled tis- sue paper inside the bag to hold its shape and store in its own box. To prevent tarnish to silver and eve- m:\g bags, wrap them in black tis- sue paper and keep in separate boxes. Finishing Facings Ways of finishing facings differ with the kind of material you have. If your goods is cotton or some other lightweight fabric, turn under the edge of the seam allowance on the facing about one -sixteenth inch, then, stitch. If your goods is thick or non -washable, finish facing by trimming off the seam allowance and stitching ribbon seam binding flat along the edge. Or machine - stitch along the edge and overcast. Maggie Wooly Maggie, a North Dakota pet sheep who died of old age recently, sup- ported herself with her fleece. Over a 15 -year period her wool, carded, spun and knitted at home, produced 288 pairs woolen socks and stock- ings, 50 pairs mittens, 5 men's sweaters, 2 baby's sweaters, 2 wool knit blankets, 2 wool comforters and 1 lady's sweater. t �- Kitchen Parsley To grow a crop of parsley In the kitchen, buy a small sponge, cut it in half and place the halves in a bright -colored dish. Sprinkle over them a few parsley seeds and keep moist. The growing parsley will pro- vide a nice bit of green for the kitchen window and in addition it will furnish fresh parsley to use for a garnish at the table.
