August 5. Page Two THE LIVONIAN Wednesday, October 17, 1945 ST New Era in Food Foreseen by A & P The nation's food distribution industry is challenged as never before by new opportunities to improve its service to the Ameri- can family, according to an of- ficial of the Great Atlantic & Pa- cific Tea company in an an- nouncement of the chain's observ- ance last week of its 86th birth- day. J. A. O'Donnell, vice presi- dent of the company's operations in this area, declared that "de- velopments in the field of science and research, coupled with the in- dustry's wartime experiences dur- ing the last four years, point to'. changes whichundoubtedly will improve the quality and increase' the variety, palatability and healthfulness of the American diet." In a statement marking observ- ance of the anniversary by stores of this area, O'Donnell continued: "The institution founded by George Huntington Hartford with the opening of the first red -front- ed A & P store in 1859 pioneered modern methods of mass distri- bution. These methods, developed through the years, revolutionized the food distribution industry through reducing drastically the costs of distribution and passing the savings on to the consumer. "Public acceptance of this poli- cy enabled the company to grow, and this growth enlarged its op- portunities for service., In a prac- tical continuation of this policy, the company, during this period of change, is doubly alert to every development which will increase the quality of foodstuffs or re- duce the cost and waste of their distribution." In scanning areas of possible change, O'Donnell said "signifi- canE developments may be ex- pected in practically every field of the industry's operation—m pro- cessing, refrigeration, packaging, transportation and in methods of handling and display. Get Deer Hunting License Now! Last year, in spite of gas ra- tioning, Plymouth sent its great- est army of deer hunters into the north woods. Some of the local hunters are wondering what it will be like this year with no coupons being required for gas and "no snoop- ers" waiting at cross-roads and the Straits to check gas purchases. One well known Plymouth hun- ter ventured the opinion that this locality would send twice as many deer hunters into the -north as it did last .year. Even the state conservation de- partment has similar ideas. It is urging that deer hunters 'get their lienees early. Anticipated record sale of resi- dent deer licenses this fall has the department in a dither. An additional 15,000 resident licenses has been ordered from the printer, making a total of 325,- 000 licenses that have been dis- tributed among dealers. The department sent 10 per cent more licenses to dealers this fail than they sold last year. Some dealers already are reordering, their original allotments having been exhausted.

Phone Livonia 2190 31509 Plymouth Road last fall in the counties in which they hunted, their choice of locale having been determined by the number of gasoline ration coupons in their possession. Consequently, unless they in- tend to buy licenses from the same dealers this fall, the depart- ment's calculations may be upset. If that is to be the case, the department wants to know in time to do something about it. Resident deer licenses solei in Michigan in recent seasons total- ed: 1944, 225,464; 1943, 216,621; 1942, 215,034; 1941, 227,067; 194- 176,314; 1939, 169,441.

Imagine the surprise of 2nd' Lt. William Holdsworth, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Holdsworth; when he picked up a copy of The Plymouth Mail recently , and read that he had been given an honor- able discharge from the,army. And it all happened when he was home on a visit to his wife and two small children who reside at 837 Church street. There had been published in The Mail a list of several hun- dred names of men who had been reported as discharged from the military services of the nation. And here sat Officer Holds- worth reading his name as a dis-' chargee just after he had been awarded a commission as a sec- ond lieutenant and waiting for or- ders to go overseas with the army of occupation! It all happened because his card at the draft board had not been refiled in its new place. He'd been discharged as an enlisted man, but promoted to a second lieutenant. And that makes "necessary office work." Lieut. Holdsworth has returned :o Fort McConnell, Ala., and an- icipates being sent overseas with- in the immediate future.

Officers report deer seen pef hour while patrolling their ter- ritories during July, August, Sep- tember, and October. The last two winters have been mild and starvation loss has been low. Only 40 starved fawns were found in a three-day search of critical areas last spring. More than 200 fawns had starved in the same areas during the severe win- ter of 1942-43. Reports indicate that the 1945 fawn crop is normal. Plenty of twins and some triplets have been seen. . Four census drives conducted on a square -mile area in -Craw- ford county in recent weeks turned out an average of 42 deer. Last CCC drives in the region, conducted in 1937 and 1938, aver- aged less than 19 deer per square mile.

Hence, when war came Michigan could take the lead and become the "Arsenal of De- mocracy." So, too, Michigan's electrical needs always have been anticipated by The Detroit Edison Company. Long before the war, orders had been placed for two ioo,000-horsepower gen- erators. One was delivered and put in oper. ation during the war. The second is being installed and will be in operation sometime in 1946. We expect that more current will be used for peace than was needed for war. There will be no "standing in line" for that current. The Detroit Edison Uompany is ready to serve all the electrical needs of southeastern Michigan today and tomorrow. T"E DETROIT EDISON co.

The months ahead look still darker, he ex- piained, because the regular diph- tneria season occurs in the late fall and early winter months. Tdany parents cannot remember the diphtheria epidemics Michi- gan once suffered, or they would make certain that their children were protected. When diphtheria is so widespread there is little chance of avoiding contact with the germs, he said. The only safe- guard is immunization. Children should be given the first dose of diphtheria toxoid at nine months of age, followed by a second dose a month later. At school age a third dose of toxoid is needed. This is referred to as a "booster dose" since it boosts the child's immunity. This third dose can be given at any time up to 12 y ars of age. Children over 12 should be Schick tested and then immunized if this test -shows that they are susceptible to diphtheria. Never burn leaves or other) plant refuse unless they are in -i fected with disease. All healthy material should be spaded into the soil to add organic matter and improve its physical condition. When building a compost pile be sure to leave a depression in the top to catch rain and snow which will help to speed decom- position. PLUMBING AND HEATING C. J.

Washington Page Ten Return Stolen War Trophies There was only one little unfor- tunate incident to mark Plym- outh's tremendously successful victory jubilee. Scores of Plym- outh boys brought trophies home from the battlefields of the other side of the world loaned these to business places for display. Apparently it was some thoughtless young fellows who broke out a window in the Con- ner hardware store and stole a number of pistols belonging to Roland Rhead and Cass Hough that had been on display in the store. But their joy in the possession of these war trophies apparently was not for long. The next morning, Chief of Po- lice Lee Sackett found the guns on the porch of his home. The next evening Max Moon heard some one ring his doorbell but when members of the family reached the door, there was no one there. But they found an envelope en- closing a $2 bill with a note of regret for having broken the win- dow in the store through which the regretting youthful burglars entered to steal the guns. Harold Hills Is Given Discharge "I'm going to start right away to try and catch up on some of that hunting and fishing I've missed during the past five years" asserted Harold Hills, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Hills, who ar- rived home bright and early Mon- day morning with an honorable army discharge in his pocket. "I've been hanging around down in Oklahoma for months waiting' for that discharge. You had ought' to hear how the fellows are grip- ing because they are being re- leased so slow from the army. But it doesn't do any good. All you have got to do is just wait and maybe you will get it right away and maybe you will not" he said. It will be recalled that Soldier Hills was sent up to the Aleutians about four years ago. He was sta- tioned at Dutch Harbor and other places up there for over two years.

An 80 -foot bridge was stolen one night in Italy, and a forest was cut down and carted off a large estate in Hungary. On the other hand, a submarine, of which no record ex- isted, was found on the bottom of an abandoned navy dock in France; and an old deserted church was discovered on a farm in England which no one, includ- ing the owner of the land, had ever seen or heard of before.
