Rev. John E. Contway
Sunday, March 24, 1946, upon
the 20th anniversary of his ordi-
nation. Rev. John E. Contway will
be honored by his congregation
for his work and drive in making
`* dream," the starting of a re-
ii,a:ous establishment, :come true.
Looking into the future, what
does he see? `;Certainly a state-
ly church, with a tall spire dis-
playing the Cross to the whole
township. Across Plymouth road,
a large tract with athletic field,
field' house, a high schol and
landscaped picnic grounds. Near
the church, a convent for the sis-
te_s. A rectory with office space
ar.d living quarters."
The man who was so rash as
io vision what actually exists
rc,.v and what the future holds
Jr store for this new parish, was
1-orn Jure 23, 1900. Father Cont -
way completed his studies at
Mount St. Mary of the West
Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio. He
v;a-s ordained in Detroit, February
7th, 1926, and served as an as-
sistant at St. Thomas Apostle in
Ann Arbor; St. Theresa, Detroit
and St. CIement in Dearborn.
Father Contway was appointed
psstor of the new St. Michael's
parish on July 8, 1931.
In keeping an open mind, the
parish hall is available to non-
Catholics as well as Catholics for
,__:rties, shows, dances and con-
ecrts. Father Contway numbers
a. =ong his friends almost as many
non-Catholics. There can be no
eoubt that he has persevered to
no small extent in doing his ut-
mast in his duties and that he
:as been a credit to the commun-
ity as well as his parish.
Jahn Lumber Co.

Last Friday, Clarence Jahn an -
r cunce.d that Jahn's Livonia
Lumber Company has now moved
into their new office, which is lo-
cated on the same site.
Corresponding with the mov-
ing of the office, the building
suppLes display is now open al-
though the interior has not been
completely finished. However, a
model kitchen, model bathroom
and utility room plus a cross
section of a living room are now
cn display. A grand,opening will
be announced at a later date.
The Junior members of the Li-
vonia Recreational Club chalked
up another victory, when they
entertained 70 guests at their
monthly dance Friday, March 8.
This iis the second dance which
the young peoples' group has
planned and sponsored this sea-
son without adult aid or help.
Junior director, Mrs. Timmer -
son and dance director, Mrs.
Thompson report that in the fu-
ture many of the Junior activi-
ties sponsored by the club will
operate without direct adult
supervision. .
The planners for this last very
succesful dance were: Joan Vor-
beck, Shirley Karns, Joyce Car-
son, Joyce Varhol, Gary McDon-
ald, Jack Williamson Jr., Joe Vor-
beck, Don Costello and Kenneth
Shuff et.

Fire thought to have been caus-
ed by an overheated stove, de-
stroyed 5000 albino rats being
raised for medical research by the
Central Laboratories, 30541 W.
Eight Mile road, Monday morning
at 10:30 a.m.
The blaze partially destroyed
the building and an official of the
firm estimated the loss of the rats
to be $10,000 and went on to state
it would take months of careful
breeding to replace the rats.
The rat farm was one of the
largest in the country and the
layout was one of the most r
ern and up to date in that type
of business.
The Redford and Farmington
Fire Departments were called
out to assist the Livonia Fire
Department and their assistance
was very valuable to Chief Cal
Roberts and his men.
Red Cross Goal
Set At $2,300
With the goal set at $2,300, Li-
vonia's Red Cross drive is now
underway with Mrs. Grace Mid-
dlewood acting as chairman.
A new system for soliciting do-
nations has been inaugurated by
the chairman and the Township
has more or less been divided up
into communities or sections and
various organizations as well as
individuals have ben given cer-
tain areas to cover.
The drive is late in starting, but
need for these funds still exists
and the Red Cross program which
has been set up for the coming
year will necessitate people back-
ing it to the fullest extent. In
some instances, the chairmen
have not met with a very cooper-
ative or warm reception when out
soliciting funds. Back the drive.
The following are the civic and
religious organizations which are
taking charge of the drive in their
respective areas: Pierson PTA
with Mrs. Jean Hotchkiss as
chairman; Coventry Gardens
Civic Improvement Association
with Mrs. Ed Hamilton as chair-
man; Livonia Township Women's
Club with Mrs. Mary McDowell
as chairman; Rosedale Gardens
Civic Association; Newburg
Church with Don Ryder as chair
man; Hope Chapel.
Mrs. F. Stiles, Mrs. J. Doolittle,
Mrs. Albert Owens and Mrs. No-
ble Phillips have under taken to
canvas sections in Livonia. The
school teachers and all school em -

tor Crampton officiating.
A reception was held after the
ceremony in the bride's home for
members of the immediate family
and guests. The young couple will
snake their home in Detroit.
Rosedale PTA
Holds Election
The regular monthly meeting'
of the Rosedale Gardens Parent
Teachers Association was held
on Wednesday, March 6th. The
Nominating Committee present-
ed to the assembly a proposed
list of officers to serve for the
coming year and they were elect-
ed by acclamation.
The new officers will be: Pres-
ident, Mrs. Lloyd Nelson; Vice
Presidents, Mrs. Forrest Randall,
Mrs. Donald Pickles, Mrs. B. E.
French; Recording Secretary,
Mrs. Louis A. Steele; Correspond-
ing Secretary, Mrs. O. L. Brook-
er; Treasurer, Mrs. Jack Stewart.
There was a good turnout at this
meeting. For the first time the
First Grade earned the travelling
prize which is a lovely picture,
as the parents of this class repre-
sented the largest group.
A most interesting talk was giv-
en by Mr. R. W. Gaertner, head
of the Industrial Arts Dept. of the
Redford High School. Mr. Gaert-
ner pointed out that three out of
four gainfully employed people
earn their living with their hands.
Therefore, it is logical that more
thought should be given to pre-
paring high school and grade
school pupils to become interest-
ed in handicraft work so they
may find the type of work best

the Livonia Township Zoning
Board at a public hearing at the
Townshipp Hall.
The first petition was present-
ed by the Sheldon Land Company

pate building would not have to
have 800 square fet of floor space
on each floor, but 624 square feet
on each floor, totaling 1248.
Second petition was presented

ed that Ann Arbor Trail between

ness)..
Petition number three was pre-
sented by John P. Jones to change
the area bounded on the north by
W. Chicago on the south by Joy
Road on the east by Inkster Road
and on the west by Cardwell from
R-1 (one family residential) to
R -U -F (residence urban farm less
than one acre.)
Frank and Julia Ann Wilson
owners of the property petitioned
the Board to change their proper-
ty bounded by Plymouth Road,
Pere; Marquette Railroad and
Deering and Hartel Streets on
the e ast and west respectively
from a M-1 (light industrial) to
M-2 :(heavy industrial) classifica-
tion.
E. Rockelman of Detroit re-
quested that the north side of
Plymouth Road, lots 1-14, be-
tween Cardwell and Deering be
changed from C-1 (local business`
to C-2 (general commercial) in
order that he may have a retail
lumber and hardware business on
the property.

P-38 Leads Plane
Contest with
12,364 Votes
In the Burt Model Plane Con-
test, entry number 17, a P-38, has
jumped into the lead with 12,364
votes cast for it in the past ten
days with entry number 1 in sec-
ond ;place with 7,264 votes.
During the second week of vot-
ing about 30,000 votes were cast
for the various model planes en-
tered in the contest. A week ago
entry 1 was in first place with 2,-
355 votes, however the "Helicop-
ter" dropped to second place de-
spite the fact that about 5,000
votes were cast for it during the
past seven days. Plane number -7
jumped from practically nowhere
into first place by virtue of more
than 11,000 votes. This model is
a Lockhead P-38.
Entry 15, an Aerccomet P-59,
which was in third place last
week is still in third with 3,79.5
votes, picking up 2,366 votes over
the past week. The next four
planes, numbers 4, 5, 13 and 16
are bunched together and are not
too far out of third place with
2865, 2,509, 2746 and 2454 votes
respectively.
The voting is to -continue until
the end of March and Mr. Burt
expects a very close race for all
the prizes a gasoline engine, wa-
gon and scooter before all ballot-
ing is closed.

suited to their talents. While it is
most desirable to send children
to college, and 17 per cent of high
school graduates do enter col-
leges, only 5 percent actually
graduate, and many of these even
in their junior year of college
have no idea what work they
want to follow after finishing
school. Mr. Gaertner said much of
this uncertainty can be eliminat-
ed if the grade and early high
school years are spent in helping
children find themselves in hand-
icraft work.
Also very important at this
time are social problems of teen-
agers. This type of work encour-
ages the children to develop hob-
bies that will keep them from
drifting into regrettable habits.
Some of the very excelent work
of Redford High School students
metal jewelry made mostly by
the girls classes, sterling silver
spoons, pewterware. hammered
and formed by boys and girls, and
a very fine vise for a work bench
made to close measurements by
the boys in the machine shop.
There were also many fine sketch-
es, drawings and prints including
architectural work that looked
like the work of professionals.
Coffee and home-made cookies
were served after the meeting by
the Sixth Grade mothers. Next
month Harold F. Powell of the
Ellis Observation school will be
guest speaker. It is hoped that
more of the parents will come
and enjoy this opportunity to par-
ticipate in this important work
and meet their childrens' teach-
ers.

With the feast of St. Patrick a
,week of extra activities began.
Irish eves are smiling regardless
of national descent because this
,week finds us all Irish at heart.
Our school song for the week is
"God put the Green in the Rain-
bow to Remind us of Ireland."
All throughout the week hur-
ried finishing touches are put to
the play that will be produced
Sunday, March 24, in honor of our
Pastor. Rev. John Contway.
The girls of Grade 3, dressed in
rich peach satin gowns perform
a most graceful dance.
The boys and girls of Grade 4,
prove to their audience that
Father Contway is the greatest of
all American heroes. Very skill-
fully they compare him with
such men as Washington, Lincoln,
and Edison.
The Choral group composed of
pupils of Grades 6-7-8 sing several
beautiful songs for the occasion
One feels as if a magic wand
;were passed over these pupils
transforming them into Princes
and Princesses. Their rich formal
gowns enchant the occasion and
their voices are heavenly accom-
paniment to this scene of beauty.
A Playlet given by the actors
and actresses of Grades 7-8 hold
an audience spellbound. Here we
see the Angel of the Anniversary
call upon Faith, Hope and Love
of unfold scenes of the past. Faith
presents a scene from the year
1926, the Ordination Day of Rev.
J. Contway. Hope brings before
us a scene taken from the year
1931, the beginning of our Par-
ish, thus showing us what obsta-
cles Hope can overcome. Charity
pictures to us an everyday scene
of a busy pastor's life showing
how with perseverance he toils
for Christ, his mater in charity's
sweet work each day.
We are looking forward: to that

Sheldon Land Co.
To Build 25 to 50
New Homes Soon
H. Hees, Secretary of the Shel-
don Land Company, announced
this week that Sheldon and Sons
already have secured 12 build-
ing permits for new homes in
Rosedale Gardens and contem-
plate the construction of 25 to 50
new homes this spring and sum-
mer.
The biggest problem confront-
ing the Company at the present
time is the supply of :labor and
materials which is one that all
concerns must face with condi-
tions as they are.
All of the new homes will be
brick veneer and will have auto-
matic air conditioning and will be
heated with oil or gas units.
"Three different types are plan-
ned," states C. G. Wilson, super-
intendent of construction, "one
story with three bedrooms, one
and a half story with two bed-
rooms down stairs and an attic
and two story colonial type with
three bedrooms. The price will
range from $9,000 to $12,000."
The new construction is plan-
ned for the quarter section which
is now built up, however, plans
are being formulated to build up
the area west of Hubbard Road
next year. The Sheldon Land
Company owns one square mile
of land and at the present time
only one quarter section has been
developed.
In 1749 the CommonwealtYi of
Pennsylvania paid bounties on
640,000 squirrels. At that time
squirrels were best known for
their depredations on field corn.

THE BEAT 0F'Y0UR'H'_T.,
It is but little more dependable than Detroit
Edison service.
That miraculous continuity of service, here
and elsewhere, is due to endless research
and experiment by engineers and executives
of the electric industry. In that program of
progress, which has continued through the
years, and will continue through the years
to come, The Detroit Edison Company has
been a pioneer.
Once a single transformer served your home.
That transformer was the transfer point, the
vital connecting link, between the miles
upon miles of power lines and the line that
served you. When it failed the power was
gone.
Engineers of The Detroit Edison Company
conceived and developed the idea of connecting many of these transformers together in
"banks," and now several of them must fail at the same time before you and your
neighbors are deprived of power. That seldom happens
That is only one of many things that have been done to insure the householder, 'the
merchant and the manufacturer an uninterrupted supply of power adequate for all needs
—those of the present and those of the future.
That was a Detroit Edison idea—a Detroit Edison FIRST.
That was an incident in the story of this company's contribution to the community
of today.
It is indicative of some of the things that this company, as a citizen,`can be expected to
contribute to the community that is to be.

... TO THE PUBLIC
Recognizing their responsibility for maintaining a
vital public service, both union and management
krepresentatives made concessions that averted a tele-
phone strike recently. a Settlement means that the
z welfare and security of the public were not imperiled
by a general curtailment of telephone service; that
business and industry were not handicapped by a
lack of communications in their efforts to regain
full stride.
... TO THE EMPLOYEES
The settlement provides basic wage increases of $5
to $8 a week for non -supervisory male employees
and $ 5 to $ 7 for non -supervisory female employees.
The increases boost Michigan Bell's hourly basic
wage rates an average of 18%, or 17 cents an hour.
e This is in line with the national pattern of recent
wage increases in other industries, and is subject to
governmental approval under the national wage
stabilization program.

forward to the busy months ahead with complete
confidence.
