Freddie, whose ambition is to be a movie star, did a take off on the nursery rhymes that are jammed down children's throats by .doting parents. The Junior High Band under the able direction of Reginald Moore, played three numbers. This newly formed organization has come a long way since last December when it was formed' by Mr. Moore. During the past few weeks the band has been playing at all the schools for as- semblies as well as some of the P.T.A. meetings. There is still a shortage of in- struments and anyone having one that they would care to do- nate to the band is requested to contact the Livonia Center Jr. High School. At the present time it is almost imposible to buy any new instruments and any dona- tions would be greatly appreci- ated.

Crawford; Treans., Mrs. Kidson; Historian, Mrs. F. B. Waters. Mrs. Wylie, 1st Vice Pres., con- ducted the meeting at which the yearly report was given.

Refreshments were served by Mrs. Bock, Mrs. Kinner and Mrs. Waters. Scarlet Fever Now On Wane Two new cases of scarlet fev- er, about the normal number, have been reported during the last week to the Livonia Health Officer, Dr. Loris Hotchkiss. However there were several instances where children who had mild cases were allowed to go out of doors and mingle with the neighborhood children. These con- tacts have forced the officials to quarantine five different fami- lies, which is due in most cases to carelessness on the part of parents in letting scarlet patients go out side prior to the end of the quarantine period. The Health Department offic- ials want to thank everyone for the fine response and coopera- tion in notifying them of cases of scarlet fever. Also they re- quest that folks living in the com- munity continue to cooperate to the fullest extent. Scouts in Livonia, under the direction of Louis LeBar, are in the next week or two to take samples of water out of all the creeks in the township, which will then be sent in to the State Department of Health in Lans- ing. The tests are being made to determine whether or not the water is contaminated and then to post with signs those that are unfit for wading. Newburg jr. High Newburg played a baseball game with Wayne. It was a tough game. Wayne won with the score of 10 to Newburg's 9. Mahr- ley caught two flies in a row. The second one caused him to turn a somersault, but he held onto the ball. Pace, the catcher, caught a fly in the seventh in- ning and Snyder picked him up and carried him off the field. —Ruth Lvcka The Clarence L Pettibones will go with friends from Grand Rap- ids to Springfield, Ohio for the Decoration Day weekend.

The increase will be uni- form for entire Wayne County and will hit all the townships as well as Livonia.

It seems that the owner left a glass bottle of solvent on the back porch and when the sun got around to it, the rays center- ed for sufficient time on the bottle to the point where it cracked, allowing the liquid to run through an opening under- nea,'.A the kitchen. Soon, suf- ficient fumes or vapors were al- lowed to come- up into the kit- chen and were ignited by the pilot from the gas stove. The owner's wife, on discovering the whole kitchen to be ablaze, tried to notify the fire department by phone, but being on a party line, she found the line to be busy and when she told the party us- ing the phone at the time, that her house was on fire, tlae party laughed and said that was a new way to get to use the phone when it was already in use. The wife immediately ran across the street and told a man about it, who, in turn, did his best to see that matters got worse, by look- We'II Show You How To Vaccinate TOWER'S FEED STORE Liv. 3161 28850 Ply.

Fire Prevention Pays Dividends in Township The practice of fire prevention in the Township seems to be getting results if the records of the Livonia fire Department have any bearing on the matter. In the five months just passed, the department has made 43 runs, more than 50% of them being -made on grass fires where no damage resulted. In only a very few cases involving the other 50 % was there very much ramage resukcing. This would seem to indicate to the casual observer that the extra care in - removing fire hazards from the homes and places of business, coupled with the good work of the fire department, has result- ed in keeping the fire loss in the township at a minimum. In contacting some of the members of surrmounding fire departments. we find that some of them havefrom three to five calls a day. Of coure, in some instances, the departments re- ferred to do have small cities in their territory which would tend to make the number of fire calls greated than in our town- ship. However, taking into con- sideration the population of the township and the number of fire calls made, compared to sur- seem to be safe to say that Li- vonia Township would be very near the top of a list of surround- ing comunities in the matter of low fire losses. This is quite complementary in view of the fact that the daily fire loss in the U.S. is still well over a mil- lion dollars a day . the year 1945 showed a fire loss of over FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. Keep up the good work. Claiming that it will pay for itself in two years, a postwar pro- moter is trying to interest Colo- rado investors in an escalator to run up and down Pike's Peak.

Answer: The state law provid- es that $68.50 per membership child shall be distributed to the school districts of this state if they are organized as elementary schools, kindergarten through eighth grade. On the other hand, the law also provides that when school districts organize a high school the state will pay $68.50 per membership child in grades seven through twelve. By keeping the ninth grade in the township we will get $20.00 more than we get now for every membership child in grades seven and eight, and $88.50 for the ninth grade. This amounts to approximately $21,000. 6. Why shouldn't we use the money we already have to add to overcrowded schools? Answer: The point is, where will ninth graders go to school unless we do make room for them next year? Providing rooms for ninth graders means we must have half-day sessions for some of the lower grades and unless additional rooms are available by 1947 more` grades will have to go on half day sessions. Once the first unit is built, the Newburg and Livonia Schools can be made available for elementary pupils. This means that by 1947 the smaller children may not have to be transported to Pierson, Wil- cox or Stark schools as has been done in the past. S. Is there any place we can send cur high school students (Ex- plain "blighted areas")? Answer: Some parents might want to send their pupils to pri- vate, schools. This is expensive and out of the reach of the ma- ioritv of our students. 9. What effect will it have on the other grades if we keep the 9th graders here? Answer: We wauld have to crowd them into Newburg and Livonia Center schools and put more lower grade pupils on half- dav sessions. 10. What issue will be voted on at the special school election June 6? Answer: Three issues are to be voted on at the special election June 8th. "Shall the board of education of the Township School District establish a high school maintaining such grades begin- ning with the ninth grade as the board shall deem advisable for the school year beginning Sep- tember 1946 and thereafter? Shall the Livonia Township School District borrow the sum of $215,000 and issue bonds there- for, for the purpose of building and equipping a new high school building? Shall the limitation on the to- tal amount of taxes which may be assessed against the proper- ty in Livonia Township School District, for all purposes except taxes levied for thepayment. of interest and principal on obliga- tions incurred prior to Decem- ber 8, 192, be increased for a period of five years from 1946 to 1950, both inclusive, to 2.7% of the assessed valuation of all property in the district?

Re LRC Sponsors Summer Bowling For the first time in the his- tory of the Livonia Recreation Club, a summer bowling league is now in operation. League of- ficers say that the venture is most successful, but are too busy to make further comment. So many bowlers have heeded the call that they are looking for more alleys. Mr. George Page is activity director of the new league and Mr. Vanderburg is secretary. To date they have han- dled the situation by playing six players on a team, but more bowlers are registering. The last time Mr. Page was observed, he was crooning "Don't Fence Me In" The Club is now organizing the league for next winter. Any per- son wishing to play should con- tact Mr. Jack Williamson, Ever- green, 5447. Wild geese usually reappear in Michigan with the first Febru- ary thaws. During late March and well into April thousands of geese rest and feed in the Kala- mazoo, Allegan, and Saginaw regions. Because his girl friend turned state's evidence on him, a New York hoodlum sent her this post- card from his new home: "Hav- ing an interesting time—wish you were here." ""OLE CORRAL" 11!. !
