Reports coming in on the Li-

which is to draw to a close this
week, are very favorable in most
cases.
The new system for soliciting
donations is working out well,
however there are some instan-
ces where families who once more
have their sons and daughters
home and back from the service
are reluctant to make their dona-
tion this near. Evervone should
keep in mind the fact that there
still are many left in the service
and the servicemen is only part
of the work of the Red Cross,
which they are undertaking this
year. Throughout the world- there
are many in need of food and
clothing to tide them over until

Scout Council President
Prentiss Broom Honored
Prentiss M. Brown
The 39 thousand Cubs, Scouts
and Leaders of the Detroit Area
were very proud to learn that
their Council President, Prentiss
M. Brown was appointed the Gen-
eral Chairman of the Golden Ju -
b' -lee committee—to "Plan for the
Celebration of 50 Years of Prog-
ress in the Automotive Industry."
Mr. Brown was elected as the
1946 Cooncil President early this
year—replacing Frank Cody for-
mer superintendent of the Detroit
Public Schools, who served as
Council President during 1944-45.
As a former congressman and
former head of the O.P.A., Mr.
Brown was much in the public
news for several years. He was
recently appointed as Chairman
of the Board of the Detroit Edison
Company and accepted,the Scout
Council presidency only after
much deliberation. "The Scouts
are deserving of all the help they
can get," said Mr. Brown. "I'm not
so much concerned about the
activity of bad men," he con-
tinued, "as I am with the inactivi-
ty of good men—that is why I felt
persuaded to serve in Scouting."
Brown's appointment as Gol-
den Jubilee Chairman was re-
cently announced by the Ameri-
can. Manufacturers Association,
sponsors of the Jubilee. Many
prominent business and manufac-
turing executives will serve on
the top committee with Brown.
Representatives of the press, ra-
dio, labor and industry are also
included. The Jubilee is sched-
uled for Mav 31 to June 2 and
will draw famous automobiling
personalities from all parts of the
World to Detroit.
Everyone is cordially invited
to hear Mrs. Henry Wiedettes
review the book, "The Gauntlet"
at Hope Chapel, Six Mile and
Middlebelt, April 12 at 8:00' p.m.
Refreshments will be served fol-
lowing the review.

gram. The social feature of the

P-38, Entry 17
Still In Lead
A Lockhead P-38, entry number
17, is still in the lead in the model
plane contest by virtue of 2,757
votes cast for it during the past
week.
Entry number 1, a Helicopter,
remained in second place and
has a total of 10,402 votes. The
Helicopter picked up over 3,000
votes and narrowed the lead down
vsomewhat. This week,number 13,
a Bell Aircobra jumped from fifth
to third position with a total of
4,970 votes.
Fourth place was retained by
a P-59 "Aerocomet," this entry
number 15 has 4,567 ballots cast
for it. Entry 4 dropped from
third to fifth place with 4,423
votes, however, only 500 votes

places.
Since the start of Mr. Burt's
Model Plane Contest, the first of
the month, over 73,000 votes have
been cast for the 23 entries in the
contest. For the most part, the
competition is very keen and
there is little to chose between
all the planes. The contest is to
run until the end of March at
which time the winners will be
announced.
Veterans Assn

At a special meeting held last
week the Livonia Township Vet-
erans Memorial Building Asso-
ciation formulated plans to can-
vas the Township in order to

site of eight acres, with a house,
barn, etc.
A group of men and women

the proposed site which can be
remodeled into very suitable
halls, one in the basement and

kitchen. It is the intention' to
rent these halls to any civic as-
sociations, Boy and Girl Scout
groups and any organizations
which need a meeting place.
The Veterans Association hopes
that their goal will be met and
extends a cordial invitation to
everyone to attend their next

ters dealing with the curriculum.

74 strings, 22 wood winds, 25
'brasses, 15 percussion instru-

1945 A BUSY YEAR
TRANSITION War gave way to peace, but unfilled orders for new tele-
phones continued to soar, reaching 127,500 in November.
As Michigan Bell's Postwar Expansion and Improvement Program gained
momentum, the number of applicants waiting for service was reduced to 113,200
by year's end.

MORE TELEPHONES se Dec. 31, telephones in
service totaled 1,174,513
compared with 742,118 in 1939. In the last 3 months of 1945,
the increase was 37,000 telephones, largest 3 -month gain in
Michigan Bell history.

EARNINGS DOWN Bell's totalschigan revenues
of $80,806,000 in 1945 were 101% over the prewar
1936-1939 average, costs were up 137% to $71,-
254,000. The amount left over to pay for the use
of investors' money was about $569,000 less than
the average of prewar years, although an addi-
tional $36,000,000 had been invested in the busi-
ness since 1939. So the average return on the stock-
holder's dollar dropped from 71/2 to 5% cents.
RATE -CUT RESISTED
To attract the investor's dollar, the rate
of Telephone Company earnings must
compare favorably with the average of
other industries — not substantially less,
as has been the case in recent years. The
future quality of telephone service, then,
depends on earnings attractive to inves-
tors. So Michigan Bell in January, 1946,
appealed to the courts for relief from a
Michigan Public Service Commission order
calling for retroactive reductions of
$3,500,000 a year for 1944 and 1945, and.
lower rates for local service in 1946.

They take turns and try hard to
keep the sand off the floor. They
are quite happy with the pretty
pictures of pussy willows and
robins that they made to deco-

The First Graders played "The

BANQUET IN
A BOILER. QQ00000d
Back in 1914 The Detroit Edison Company
dramatized the installation of a great new
steam -generating unit by staging a "Banquet
in a Boiler."
Up until that time the capacity of boilers rarely
exceeded 50,000 pounds of steam an hour.
Detroit Edison engineers had been at work
with manufacturers an an effort to develop
greater size and efficiency. The result was this
new boiler of three times previous capacities -
175,000 pounds an hour.
That was a beginning—a Detroit Edison
FIRST. Today, boilers delivering a million
pounds of steam an hour are in use.
– _
The first big boiler, built 32 years ago, turned
out to be something more than a place for a
banquet. Its construction developed a line of thought, experiment and accomplishment
which has increased the size and operating efficiency of steam -electric power plants.
This development has meant lower costs for The Detroit Edison. Company; LOWER
PRICES TO THE CUSTOMERS OF DETROIT EDISON, AND. HIGHER WAGES -
FOR DETROIT EDISON EMPLOYES.
It was one of the accomplishments of this company, serving in its capacity as a citizen of
the community, which helped to bring the average price of current used in the home
down from 6.04 cents per kilowatt-hour in 1915, to 3.03 cents in 1945.
