HomeMy WebLinkAboutLivonian1945_0221New Rotary Club Organized In Livonia The organization of the new Li- vonia Rotary club took place in the Newburg Methodist church hall, last Friday evening, Febru- ary 16, at the which time applica- tion was made for membership in Rotary International. This new club will have 22 charter mem- bers, but remains a Provisional club until acceptance has been made by the Board of Directors of Rotary International at a meeting in Chicago. The first president of the new club is Harry O. Johnson, superin- tendent of the Livonia school dis- trict. Vice president is Dr.. L. R. Hotchkiss whose place of busi- ness is near Farmington and Sev- en Mile roads. The treasurer is Clarence Hoffman of the Livonia Recreation, and the secretary is Charles Schaffer, who is associat- ed with the office of the Wayne County School Commissioner. President Johnson appointed Ray- mond Grimm, as sergeant -at -arms for the insuing year. Dean W. W. Whitehouse of Wayne University and a promi- nent member of the Detroit Ro- tary club, was the chief speaker. Present also at the meeting was Harvey Lowery, of Dearborn, dis- trict governor of Rotary. At a meeting of the Detroit Ro- tary club Wednesday the officers and several members of this new club were presented to the Presi- dent of Rotary International, who came from his home in Idaho, to address the Detroit club on the 40th anniversary of the founding of Rotary, and the 35th anniver- sary of the Detroit Rotary club. The charter members are: Wil- liam Bartel, Dr. O. L. Brooker, Michael Burn, Jr., John M. Camp- bell, Rev. John Forsyth, Raymond E. Grimm, Cecil H. Habermehl, Elmer Hinc•hman, Clarence M. Hoffman, Dr, L. M. Hotchkiss, Clarence J. Jahn, Harvey R. Jahn, Harry O. Johnson, Dr. Cass J. Kershaw Bert McKinney, Ray Owens, Howard Passmore, Calvin Roberts, Chas. A. Schaffer, Carl Wagenschutz Harry S. Wolfe, Jesse Zeigler. Present and taking part in the organization at the Newburg church were members of the Plymouth Rotary club. Tin Can Pick-up for Livonia township will be held on Monday, Feb. 26. Do your part by having those cans washed and flattened and at the curb of a main paved highway in Livonia township ear.• ly on Monday morning. Sgt. and Mrs. John Latimer of Indian Gap, Pa., and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Latimer of Lansing were Saturday guests of their sisters, Mrs. Ross DePencier and Mrs. Rov Goulder, and attended the Valen- tine dance with them. TIN CAN COLLECTION MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26th A STEP FOR UNITY Many things have happened in Livonia township dur- ing the last few years that make us begin to wonder if all of a sudden we are growing up. Growing up in the sense that new neighbors and new ideas are forcing us to take steps to become more united as one big thriving community. Not many months ago we put forth a united effort to secure a central post office for Livonia and next came a fire department. Then last year we decided we needed a school consolidation and today the effects of that progres- sive move are beginning to show. We admit as do most of you that our school board and superintendent Johnson have a real job ahead of them but "certainly we feel that in the end we all shall benefit. It isn't that we think we had an unusual part in all of these things because when the word "we" is used we speak of all of the people who live in Livonia township. A few months ago a township wide Woman's Club was organized and now we announce the formulation of a Rotary club. Certainly it is unity of thought and the reali- zation of the need of the exchange of thought that is bring- ing about the formation of these organizations. We are proud to be a part of a community which is growing and we look forward to the day when we can bring to Livonians a fully grown newspaper that will serve all the needs of its people. Until that day arrives and until the time that we are a fully united community we urge a closer cooperation among you and hope that each of you will look charitably upon those undertakings of others which are certainly the roots of greater things to be. State President P.T.A. Speaker The Wayne County Council was held at the Sibley Smith school on Tuesday, Feb. 13. Mrs. James Parker, president of the Michigan Congress of Parents and Teachers was the guest speaker. Four schools from Livonia township were represented, Pier- son, Livonia Center, Newburg Jr. High and Rosedale Gardens. At- tending the meeting from Livonia were: Mrs. Henry Bock and Mrs. Ellis Wylie of Rosedale Gardens; Mo. Chester Tuck and Mrs. Don- al•`W. Donnelley of Coventry Gardens.

Page Two Flames Damage Airport Tavern Fire, said to be caused by a de- fective or overheated stove, seri- ously damaged the Airport Tavern located on Middlebelt and Plym- outh roads Friday night. Flames were shooting skyward on the ar- rival of the Livonia Fire Depart- ment but the fire was quickly got- ten under control. Very serious re- sults might have resulted as this restaurant is immediately adjoin- ing a gas station, the farm house and barn of Walter Wilson, to- gether with numerous out -build- ings. The loss, however, was con- fined to the tavern and small gar- age attached and the damage was in the neighborhood of $20'00.00. Traffic on Plymouth and Mid- dlebelt roads was not held up as the men of the department had previously obtained hose bridges to place across the roads which allows motorists to drive over fire hose without damage. No one was injured.

Nearly 100,000 other people want to know the same thing. Even though we're filling some orders every day as present users give up service, the waiting list keeps on growing. As soon as wartime shortages ease up, we plan to start a five-year. expansion program costing $120,000,000. But that won't mean that everyone who wants a tele- phone will be able to get it as soon as that program gets under way. After the necessary materials, man- power and manufacturing facilities are 1� available, buildings must be erected or enlarged, and cables and central office apparatus must be manufactured. Then begins the slow, painstaking task of instal- lation nstallation with its millions of hand -soldered connections, and the job of tying the new equipment into the present system with- out interrupting service. All that takes a long time. So we can't say just when we can in- stall your telephone. But use do promise that your order will be filled in its proper turn, and just as soon as possible.

Rosedale Club Meets March 1st Despite transportation difficul- ties and illness, that kept many members home, the Valentine card party, held by the Rosedale Woman's club Thursday, Feb. 15, at the club house, was very much enjoyed by the 79 who attended. Mrs. Hugh Fox and Mrs. L. O. Burk who were the decorating committee, had provided clever candle holders in the shape of hands for the tables in the base- ment. Mrs. Morin Heric, general chairman, had charge of collecting the door and table prizes, arrang- ing for tables, cards, and tallies, distributing the tickets to the block chairmen. The refreshments were planned and served by Mrs. Otto Hanson and committee. Mrs. Donald Pickles was ticket chair- man. Door prizes, including home made candy, a hand -made apron, and a well and tree crystal plat- ter, were donated b-° the decorat- ing committee and some of the board members. The next meeting of the club will be held March 1st, and will be a talk by Betty Roberts from WJBK on "Plastics in Re -habilita- tion," a subject in which club members are vitally interested.

There is one sure way to know whether or .not you have enough Life Insurance to do the job you would like it to do. It is this— Jot down a figure that represents the minimum monthly income your family would require if you should die suddenly. Then compare that figure your family would receive from your present Life Insurance. Your Ordinary Life policies show different ways called "Options" for obtaining monthly income from the proceeds of policies you now own. You may be somewhat shocked to find that your life lnsurance um- brella is not nearly as big as you'', thought if was.

Although the name of this company might indicate connection with other "Edison" companies, actually there is no connection in either financing or management. The name "Edison" was adopted in the early days of the electrical industry by nearly all electrical companies, because -they owed their existence to the inventive genius of Thomas A. Edison and were licensed under Edison patents. Actually, Detroit Edison is independently owned and operated by more than 37,000 stockholders. Nearly 1,300 of them are employes of the company.
