Despite the heroic efforts of the Livonia Fire Department which was seriously hampered by spec- tators cars and trucks that were blocking the hydrant, the single family frame dwelling was de- stroyed by the fire. It is not known whether the damage was covered' by insurance or not. This is the first serious injury the Department has experienced in its four years of operation. Two thirds of the 35,0 0,000 Americans owning a driver's li- cense have never undergone an examination to prove their fitness to operate a motor vehicle.

Dr. Hentz has ask- ed that his hospital be given a greenhouse, costing between twenty-five and thirty thousand dollars. To erect this building Dr. Hentz intends to use patients who are physically able as the, take great interest in doing things which will benefit their surround- ings. At the -present time, there are 2,500 patients at the hospital and a large addition is under construction which will increase the number. The Government is unable to supply the greenhouse because they are putting all avail- able funds and time in an effort to erect new hospitals and too much time would elapse before they could get to this type of project. The following committees have bene appointed: Mr. and Mrs. William Wood, Chairmen; Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Valrance, publicity;, Mr. and 'Mrs. Blankenhagen, tic- kets; Mr. and Mrs. E.

Russia still suffers from the thousands of derogatory newspa- per stories which her enemies concocted and managed to have published during 1917 and 1918. Shortly afterward, an American newspaper syndicate, the United Press, suspecting that it had been tricked into releasing anti=Russian propaganda, made a secret inves- tigation and discovered that 95 per cent of the shocking stories which were supposed to have come from Moscow correspond- ents during this two-year period had originated in such countries as Finland, Latvia, Poland and Rumania.

Weekend Weather Boon to Skaters Winter sports once more can be enjoyed in Plymouth and the surrounding territory as the result of the weekend of snow and low- er temperatures. Wayne County workmen Mon- day began the task of again clear- ing the snow, from the local popu- lar skating scene—Wilcox Lake - which is again safe for skating. The flawless surface of the lake was buried under about four inches of snow following Sunday's storm. The lower temperature not only reconditioned the skating lakes around here they bolstered the earth and returned it to a more or less smooth surface for the snow- fall which was welcomed by the ski and toboggan enthusiasts. Toboggan runs at Rouge Park in Detroit and the other nearby winter sports parks resumed op- eration Sunday afternoon and will continue indefinitely with the blessing of the present depth of snow. Skates, skiis, sleds and tobog- gans that went into discard when the thaw struck, are once more re- ceiving the undisputed attention of their owners. Winter sports, like'Gen.

Merrill, Michigan State college extension horticultural specialist. He suggests that apples, plums, pears and cherries may be pruned now, but advises delaying the pruning of peaches and grapes until after March 1. All cuts should be made close to the main stem so that the wounds will heal more rapidly. Use a regular horticultural dress- ing material if a wound exceeds 2 inches in diameter. Do not use house or barn paint as a substitute because the cambium layer will be injured by the oil and healing will be prevented. Fruit growers with apple trees to prune are invited to request a copy of Circular Bulletin 179, "'The Thin Wood Method of Prun- ing Bearing Apple Trees", from either their county extension of- fice or the Department of Public Relations, Bulletin Office, Michie gan State college, East Lansing. Mr. Merrill suggests that orch- ard owners might profitably visit their poison bait stations to make certain that a supply of bait is available for mice and other ro- dents. The cut branches left from pruning operations help to reduce mouse injury to trees.

Detroit Edison provides fuse replacements, exchanges appliance cords and repairs some appliances free— free in the sense that it is included as a part of our electric service without extra charge. Fair compari- sons cannot be made without recognizing that this area pays the highest wages in the United States; that the company must buy its coal - almost three million tons of it a year -at a price considerably more than that paid in many other large cities, some of which are much closer to the mines. Our customers have had plenty of electricity in war time and we are adding another 100,000 horsepower for peace -time growth. There is an ample and cheap power supply through this whole part of Michigan which we serve. We are glad these lower prices can be put into effect now because U. S. Department of Labor statistics show that, compared.to 1935-1939 prices, the cost of living in the Detroit area has increased 31 %. -Detroit Edison electricity is down 7 per cent This reduction is made possible by decreased Federal taxes; our increased efficiencies and the expected greater use of electricity.
