C, Four speakers were heard in very interesting talks last Thurs- day at a meeting of the Livonia Township Woman's Club at the Livonia Community church. Mrs. R. A. Cornell, prominent Wayne County club woman, open- ed the meeting with a talk about the value of a rural woman's club. She indicated that a group like she was addressing: played a ma- jor part in keeping a community operating- in unity. She said it created harmony among others. She said, "A woman's club in a community like Livonia is one of the finest things there are." No definite objective is needed, she Representatives of more than 20 thinks, to make a club a' success. Livonia organizations met last Just the spirit of helping one an- Monday night with the Board of other, creating kindness in the Education and pledged united minds of others and helping put it support of their plan to obtain to - practice is objective enough, state and Federal funds for the Mrs. Cornell said. proposed construction of a con- solidated educational plant of at least 89 classrooms in Livonia. At that meeting, although it was the first time many had had the proposition explained to them, it caught their collective fancy and, was unanimously acclaimed by the assembly as the answer to Livonia's perplexing problem of how adequate educational hous- ing might be obtained. Superintendent of Schools Har- ry O. Johnson was at that time given a vote of confidence by the assembly for his efforts so far to- ward securing such aid and for his forward thinking in foreseeing Li- vonia's educational needs five years hence and suggesting ways and means for providing them. Moderator for the evening was Earl Bedell, a trustee of the board, and director of vocational educa- tion in the Detroit public schools. Those attending the meeting and the organizations they repre- sented were Harry Burton, presi- dent of the Rosedale Gardens Civic Association; Jess Ziegler, Livonia Township Supervisor; C. W. Johnston, chairman of the Li- vonia Zoning Commission; Gus. M. Davis, Livonia Recreation Club; Jack Williamson and Char- les Thomas, Boy Scouts of Ameri- ca; William P.

After considerable discussion and explanation of the proposi- tion to aid the building programs of many school districts beside Livonia, the group unanimously adopted two resolutions. One requested Gov. Harry F. Kelly to include state aid for schools in his call for a special session of the Michigan legislature next January. The other was directed to Sen- ator Homer S. Ferguson, Sena- tor Arthur H. Vandenberg and *THE LIVONIAN *1 Entered at the Plymouth, Michigan, Postofilce as Second Class Mail Matter. Phone Plymouth 16 Vol. 6, No. 37 Wednesday; October 31, 1945 Livonia Seeks State Aid for Badly Needed New Public School Buildings A brief admonition to the club to aid in selling victory bonds and to purchase all that they could was given by Mrs. A. W. San- ders, of the Wayne County War Finance Committee. Miss Helen Graves, chairman of the club's school committee, urged that the club adopt a resolution requesting the aid of the Michi- gan Legislature in bringing ade- quate educational housing to Li- vonia, and send it to Gov. Harry F. Kelly. She also urged members to "send personal messages re- questing such assistance. The fourth and final speaker was Mrs. Florence Mack, director of the Rouge Service Club. She gave an account of how the ser- vicemen enjoyed the many things provided them by the club. Most always they said that it wasn't exactly the food that at- tracted them but the opportunity to eat with other people and par- ticipate in a social way wyth their friends that was not possible in army camps. The Livonia Woman's Club closed their meeting with the an- nouncement that their annual bazaar had been planned for Dec. 1 at the Rosedale Gardens Com- munity House.

It requested each of them to give their support to such Fed- eral legislation as would provide funds for the construction of school buildings. The assembly also commended Supt. Johnson for his thought in proposing such a plan. It was ori- ginally offered by him last month at a meeting of Michigan school heads at Traverse Citv. At that time the state educa- tors unanimously hailed the idea and adopted a resolution to be sent Gov. Kelly similar to the one adopted by the assembly at Livonia Monday night. The board naturally was moti- vated by the obvious need of additional housing for education in Livonia. It also had in mind the similar needs of countless other school districts in the state. Many are worse off than Livonia, Charts and statistics showing the lack of adequate educational facilities in Livonia have been prepared in detail by Supt. John- son. These were presented to the assembly. . They show that in 1950—with- in five short years—there will be 27 fewer classrooms in the Livonia schools than will be required to properly provide for the student body. Supt. Johnson predicts that by 1950, due to the ever increasing school census in Livonia, thele will be more than 3,200 studen*G enrolled in the schools. An enrollment like that would require 89 classrooms. This is in addition to the necessary shop space, home economic kitchens, auditorium and gymnasium, Supt. Johnson said. Even with the additional five mills school tax which Livonia school electors voted to accept for the next five years the dis- trict would not have sufficient funds of its own to construct the necessary plant. According to Supt. Johnson, the additional school tax to be collect -- ed within the'next five years, will be sufficient only to underwrite the construction of an 18 -room school without any auditorium or gymnasium or vocational educa- tion space. He explains that this is due to the state legislation limiting the school tax to 15 mills. He con- demns the act as hampering the furtherance of education because in most cases it prevents the dis- trict from underwriting adequate housing construction. With state and federal funds made available for such expansion the districts now lacking in proper housing for its students could progress on a basis equal with the larger and richer districts. The board believes that with the nroner support from the quali- fied electors and civic associations (Continued on Page 2) Wilcox P.T.A. Has Program A dance recital, the explanation of Livonia's new zoning law and a demonstration of parliamentary law procedure were features of the meeting of Wilcox PTA last week. The dance program was offered by the school's Girl Scouts. Brownie scouts who took part in the folk dances were Sonja Han- sen, Shirley Ostrander, Darleen Passeau, Connilee Passeau, Joyce Ramsay and Carol Pelzer. Girls. who gave a demonstration of square dancing included Ar- lene Robinson, Betty Richardson, Betty Smith, Marian Zunich, Lynn Rickert, 'Carole Trowbridge, Ja- net Hall, Anna Hansen, Janice Wenzel, Dea Jean Brasgalla, Flora ence Poole and Joyce Carson. Harry S. Wolfe, Livonia:Town- ship Clerk, gave a most interest- ing and educational talk in expla- nation of the township's propos- ed new zoning law. A group from the Livonia Rec- reation Club -that is studying par- liamentary law presented a model demonstration of parliamentary law procedure. It was very in- structive and worthy of the group's courteous .attention which it gave. Because more parents of the fourth graders were present at the meeting than other pupils parents, a football was awarded that room. Fire Damages Spencer Home Fire, caused by •a defective chimney, caused considerable damage to the home of Raymond Spencer, 14255 Stark road, Thurs- day afternoon, Oct. 26. Upon arri- val of the fire department, flames were shooting through the roof. However, the fire, was under con- trol in a few minutes. Most of the damage was confined to the roof and upper half story. Law Classes Start Nov. 21 Livonia Recreational Club Par- liamentary Law class starts Nov. 21. Special meeting called at Wil- cox School at 8 p.m. to consider the needs of Parliamentary Law in the community. This season two classes are planned. Parliamentary practice for assembly groups and a more advanced class for assembly chair- man. Leaders are Jack William- son and P. Watson. Dr. Marie Timpona will direct. All residents of Livonia Town- ship that are interested are in- vited to attend' these classes.

He pointed out that as part of Zuckerman Gets IJack' Gordon In Keep Food Fresh The two -fold possibility of pro- viding consumers with farm -fresh produce throughout the year and substantially reducing the na- tion's estimated 25 per cent waste and spoilage of fresh fruits and vegetables is indicated after two years of a college -industry experi- ment, it was announced recently. Consumer packaging and scien- tific refrigeration methods in the retail store were revealed as the key to improving the marketing of fresh produce, according to Frank McGeough, head of A & P Food Stores Columbus unit, whose company is conducting the tests in collaboration with Ohio State University. Pointing out that sharp reduc- tions in waste and spoilage have been noted in six of the food chain's super markets here where the experiment is being conduct- ed, McGeough stated that tests definitely prove that the produce retains its original freshness and vitamin content one to five days longer. Organizations cooperating with A & P and the University in the studies that are expected to con- tinue for some time are the du Pont Company of Wilmington, Del., The Ohio Boxboard com- pany of Rittman, Ohio, Hussman Refrigeration company of St. Louis and the Oliver Machinery company of 'Grand Rapids, Mich. In the tests all produce, with the exception of potatoes and a few other staples, are cellophane - wrapped in consumer -size pack- ages and sold in open -type, self- service refrigerator cases. Not only is the freshness and vitamin content retained, McGeough said, but surveys reveal a markedlpre- ference for this method of hand- ling produce which has not been picked over repeatedly by other consumers. Dr. Charles W. Hauck, of the University's department of rural economics, who is working on the experiment with A & P, pointed out that the packaging and refrig- eration had lengthened the life span and helped retain the vita- min content of every item studied. "The experiment has been un- derway for two years and every one connected with it is satisfied that this is one way of reducing waste and spoilage," Dr. Hauck said. "Since this is the first time such a program has ever been un- dertaken on such an extensive basis, we have had to feel our way along slowly. However, the most encouraging part of this project is that something concrete is being done tolattack the prob- lems of waste and spoilage.

In Michigan the nests are usually situated in a sturdy crotch at the top of the largest tree available, frequently 60 . to 80 feet from the ground. The Michigan wild fur industry harvests almost $2,000;000 worth of raw pelts annually and requir- es the services of more than 35,- 0.00 trappers, more than 500 fur traders, and about 5,000 persons working in 269 fur garment man- ufacturing companies. During the first fifty years of the state geological survey's his- tory the state geologists kept all the survey records and carried on its business in their homes. In 1889 the survey finally obtained an office of its own.
