Arthur, Jenkins, Editor Wednesday, March 13, 1946 Vol. 7, No. 3 Township Board Spring makes The Ton Hall PTA Convention p roves New `°The Home for the Friendless" Scheduled For Subdivision At a Special Meeting of the _i .-onia Township Board held at t' e Hall, February 25th, the ;yard approved the request that subdivision plat, of part of the Northwest i4 of Section 24, Live- M:a Township, said subdivision to b= known as Greenmoor Sudi- vi=ion. Patrick R. Croswell, of Detroit, -uUlied for the approval of the grocery store situated at 28292 Jcy Road, Livonia Township, for �-r S.D.M. License which was cap- roved. Tax Returns r or 1945 Drop Oil Approximately $188,000.00, 83 c_r cent, of the Townships taxes ,-sere collected this year —1945 taxes — out of about .$222,000.00 t�;;al assessment. A year ago 86 per cent or $160,- ^00.00 out of $190,000.0.0 total as- _ssment was collected. Car1•Wa- genschutz, the Township Treas- t _ er attributes the drop to the ad - c ,ional 5 mill tax levy which was passed last year by the voters also to the strikes which have af- cted many residents in this '• cality. The Livonia Township tax -oks are turned in to the Wayne C:,unty offices where the books are audited. Following this audit, linquent taxes may be paid at t _e Wayn County Building by paying a 4 per cent penalty plus additional one-half per cent *:_r month penalty. 0,000 Votes Cast In Plane Contest Over 8,000 votes were cast in e first two days of balloting in -]_e Burt Model Plane contest ,:bleb opened Monday, March 4:h. The final count, showed 22 n=ans of various types entered in t' -,e contest which is proving very Dpular with the teen age boys in ?,at section of the Township. -Nese models are now on display -- the Pharmacy and are to re- -_-ain there until the contest clos- _s the end of March.

A P-59 Aer- _omet which is entry number 15 in third place with 1,429 votes and in fourth place is entry num- tier 4 with 1,301 votes. Each Wednesday, the baliots ^.re to be tabulated and the re- -,.lts will be announced. Mr. Burt stated, "There seems be some misunderstanding con- cerning voting in that many peo- rle think theivotes must be pur- 'iased, however, that is not the case in that every purchase allows -ach patron to vote and the abount of the purchase deter- --ines the amount of votes that can be cast for the respective _o_anes." Mr. and Mrs. James Horen, ~arents of Mrs. Jack Gage, -from Clarkston, Micshigan were guests ,f the Gages last week. Mrs. z-ames Horen had the distinction f being the only visitor at the Cub Pack meeting at the Stark School Spring came to Livonia Town- ship for several days last week and with it came a slight epi- demic of "spring fever, "# which affected each individual in his or her own inimitable way. Some of the women folks were very industrious and started house cleaning, others washed windows, but all was not good in the Township for a great many of the roads went all to pieces, as well as tempers, with the thaw-. This irritated many of the citi- zens who are not fortunate enough to live on pavement and they wondered why the Township officials did nothing alaout gravel- ing and surfacing the roads and streets that run in front of their particular home. Then too the dog penalty is now in effect -and has been since -March 1st, but even after much advertising in the newspaper and SL M. To -iave St. . Patrick Dinner, Program St. Michael's annual St. Pat- rick's Day Banquet and Program will be held Sunday, March 17 in the Parish Hall with dinner to be served from 3:30 to 7:00 p.m. and the program to run from 7:00 to 9:00 P. in. A very entertaining and en- joyable program has been plan- ned with Jimmie Long, Presi- dent of the Long and Long Ford Sales as the able Master of Cere- monies. Mr. Long has a fine Irish tenor and is scheduled to sing several numbers as well as match his Irish wit and humor with Carl Sobie. Included on the program are Miss Jane Sawka, of Mercy Col- lege in Detroit and Patricia Kin- ahan of Rosedale Gardens who will sing an Irish song. Miss Eunice Garhow will tap dance followed by Ann Randall and Marilyn Brooker both of Rose- dale who are featured in a tap dance specialty while Marcia Randall, Carolyn Brooker and Jane Cook will present a ballet number. Miss Mary Margaret Duggan is the accompanist for the program. Everyone is welcome and cor- dially invited to attend the St. Patrick's Day Banquet and Pro- gram. Louis Le Bar, chairman for the Boy Scout sustaining mem- bership "Round Up", announced Monday that the drive had drawn to a very successful close with about $200.00 collected. Ex- act figures are not yet available and some memberships have rot yet been turned in. The money is turned in to Dis- trict headquarters in Detroit and they use these funds to send newly formed troops and under- privileged Scouts to summer camp. Memberships cost $5.00 per year and at the present time Li- vonia has 14 troops and 8 Cub packs in District Number, 7. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gage, 9953 Wayne Road entertained their "Potluck Club" in their home last Saturday evening. by means of 125 posters, many are just realizing that there is an or- dinance and it is going to be en- forced. People storm in and out of the Township Hall, the phone rings incessantly concerning dog li- censes, taxes and roads. All of this adds up to the fact that Livo- nia's officials don't sem to have a friend in the world and the Town Hall is a "Home for the Friend- less'. The officials have taken so many tongue lashings in the past week that they almost dread go- ing home in the evening for fear that a kind word may be direct- ed their way: Hcwever, in May or June all will be forgotten and Jesse, Harry, Carl and the rest of the boys will be glad that they thanked those who voted for them instead of thanking those who did not put them in office, which is how they certainly feel today. Cooper Rr Feeds 200 A Da, Feeding 200 children every day, five days a week, is the problem confronted by Mrs. Emma McGin- nis and her assistant, Mrs. Ida Emrick at the Cooper School lo- cated at Joy and Middlebel.t roads. The hot lunch program costs each child $.75 per week which is paid in advance and is also sub- sidized $.09 per meal by the Fed- eral Government. Eleven student servers headed by Kathrine Smith and Shirley Chamberlain serve the food and for this work the two girls receive their meals free of charge. Mrs. McGinnis, who has charge of the kitchen, does all of the wholesale buying of the food and groceries. The seventh grade under the able direction of Mrs. Edna Brake has charge of making the days menus. The class is divided into two groups for the week and one group prints the menus on a small portable hand press and the other section decorates each menu. Here is a typical menu which was Tuesday's, February 26: Meat loaf, mashed potatoes, cabbage salad, whole wheat bread, jelly, rice pudding and milk. Saturday, March 9th the Town- ship announced that the drive to collect delinquent dog licenses would start the 9th and that two special officers had been ap pointed to make collections and enforce the ordinance. George Warren and William Newstead are the appointed of- ficers and the plan is to have them canvas the Township. Only 900 dog licenses have been is- sued as of March 8th and it is estimated that there are rver 2,500 dogs in this; community. In 1945 no dog licenses were collected, this was done in order to make it possible to collect the license money the first of the year when taxes were due and make it more convenient for the taxpayers who would be able to make both payments at the same time. Mrs. Rogers from Linden, On tario is a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Bennett of Stark road. All local P.T.A.'s should plan on sending at least one delegate to the Parents and Teachers Con- vention scheduled for May 7-8-9 at Sault Ste. Marie. Buses have been chartered for those who prefer them and the Wayne County Council urges that as many new officers as pos- sible to attend. Contact your lo- cal P.T.A. presidents for further information. . Elm PTA, Scouts Enjoy Poi Luck Members and friends o fthe Elm P.T.A. joined with the Boy Scouts of troop E-1 in a "pot- luck" supper, Tuesday, March 5th at the Elm School. The tables were formed ini o an E representing the Elm P.T.A. and It -1 Scout troop. St. Patrick colors were worked into the color scheme of the decorations and the entire setting drew much favorable comment from those in attendance.

THE GREAT JOHN L THE OLD JUDGE SAYS. TED: "Clem and I were wonderin' what you thought of that new movie about the chronic alcoholic, Judge. Understand you saw it before we did." OLD JUDGE "Well ... it's true most of us never see a case as extreme as that in real life because they are_ so few and far between. But it does point out one thing,.. chronic alcoholics are abnormal people and we've got to change our ideas about how to help them." CLEM: "In what way, Judge?" OLD JUDGE: "We've got to realize that excessive drinkers are suffering from more than a craving for alcohol,. According to psychiatrists and medical men at one of our great universities, the alcoholic is a sick person. The study of hundreds of cases shows he is suffering from some physical, social or emotional condition ... just as in the case of that poor chap in the picture. Fortunately, they represent only a very small percentage of those who drink." TED- "Is anything being done to really help these folks, Judge?" OLD JUDGE: "Yes ... a great deal in clinics throughout the country. And with the cooperation of the beverage distillers who sincerely want their product used only in moderation."

Elm School. Grade I—Joe Stolte has had his tonsils removed. Alice Strope is ill this week. This is the first time she has been absent this year. The children made March calendars. Grade II—The children used their new paint sets to. make wa- ter color designs. The tables in the second grade room have been arranged differently. Everyone seems to like it better. David Bowers was the first to see a robin this year. June Watson at- tended the circus and described it to the class. One day an elephant was walk- ing throilgh the woods, some men were walking through the woods too. They saw the ele- phant. they hurried to make a trap. And bang! he fell in the trap. The men took him to the zoo. One night the door was open and he walked out the door. He walked down streets and alleys. He did lots of dam- age, he broke down fences and and stepped on cars. In the morning a woman was taking down her clothes. When she turned around she saw the ele- phant. She ran in the house and called the police. By the, time the police got there the elephant was in some more mischief, then he walked and he walked until he saw some woods. One day it was foggy, and he got lost in the middle of the woods. He stayed in the woods for days and days. Pretty soon winter came. One day he saw something in the weeds, it was a little boy. The elephant and tl}e little boy be- came good frie ds. One day the little boy was going home and the elephant followed him home. Then he had a good 'home. The little boy's father made a house for the elephant. The elephant's house was nicer than the other house, so they moved in the ele- phant house and the elephant moved in their house, and they lived happily ever after. — By Martin Centala, Second Grade.

Board Given Data On Teacher Loads The results of reducing teacher loads from 37.5 pupils to 30 pu- pils per class room were pre- sented to the School Board last Monday by Superintendent Harry Johnson. In a test case carried out by the Flint school system in the Martin School during 1944-1946, the class moved up from 22cd place (out of 26) to 6th place' and in the second year, they tied for first place. The educational growth showed a gain of 169 per cent or 69 per cent above the normal also the class gained 27 months in 16 months time. Other results show- ed that the teachers were happier and worked harder and the stu- ` dent interest increased, there were less behavior problems, co- operative attitudes increased and the teachers corrected poor health habits and assisted retarded pu- pils. The cost per pupil in the Mar- tin School was $100.94 as against $89.94 for all the other schools which represents an increase of 12.2 per cent in cost while the educational growth was 69 per cent above the normal. The average number of pupils in the Livonia class rooms at the present time is 37.

Dairy Products Kirwin's Ice Cream Wines and Beer To Take Out SINCLAIR Products To supply service again when and where it is wanted, and to give you the quality of service you want in the future, Michigan Bell has under way a 5 -year $120,000,000 expansion and improvement program. Thousands of workers are engaged in completing this huge project. They include not only our returning veterans, but hundreds of additional employees as well — bringing the total to the largest number in Michigan Bell's history. And the program means work for scores of other folks supplying materials and equipment, and doing skilled construction. Money to finance this $120,000,000 program must come from the savings of thrifty people who are willing to invest in Bell System securities. But if prospects for Telephone Company earnings are unattractive com- pared with those of other companies, those people will place their savings elsewhere. The rate of Telephone Company earnings has been declining in recent years to a point where it is now substantially below the average of other industries. If this condition should continue for too long a time, our ability to raise the money required to meet expected telephone needs would be weakened. The future quality of your telephone service depends on rates that will produce earnings attractive to inves- tors. We believe our customers want good service, even if it costs a trifle more than inferior service. Technical improvements in the past brought rates for good service down and have kept them down in the face of rising costs. As rapidly as future improvements will permit, we expect and want our rates to come down stili further. For, Michigan Bell wants rates no higher —and no lower—than necessary to insure good telephone service. MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY Wednesday, March 13, 1946 L I`V C!
