The troop's drum and 'bugle corps was in full evid- ence and nightly serenaded the neighboring campers and tourists withparades. Other highlights were the ;nightly campfires with the traditional songs and skits. Christening of first year camp- ers with the ashes of the last camp fire from the 1945 encamp- ment which was -held in the Huron National Park, plus the unique baptismal of the scouts and lead- ers with their new names were highly enjoyed.

Wise Leaders will make their reserva- tions soon to be assured of ap- proved Troop Camping sites for the coming school year. There are 17 separate Troop sites on the Reservation, each ranging in Camper capacity from 16 to 34. All of the sites can be used until late Fall and again in early Spring,, but a few are not practical for mid=winter zero. weather. However, Senior Scouts equiped with Army surplus artic- style bed rolls will experiment with the open face shelters this winter.

Any Troop may use the Re- servation sites December 20-22 and December. 27-29, these being `open' dates because of the holi- days. For the rest of the season however dates have been assign- ed on a District basis to give all Troops equal opportunity of plan- ningtheir progra min advance.

The county is to get 5.40 mills, an increase of .4 mills over last year, with the township getting 2.25, an increase of .5 over 1946. The only conclusion that can be drawn is the county gets an in- crease, the township an increase and the schools, although their -expenses are also going up, are to get less monies. Revised figures computed on an assessed valuation of ,$8,508,620 and at a rate of 7.35 mills (less 10% for delinquency) will de- crease $15,345 from the original. estimates. Tuition costs will also have to be revised upwards as the first estimate indicated an amount of " $16,040.00 and the tuition costs will be -$18,623 an up of $2,- 583. The problem confronting tha Board is to "cut" $18,078 from the budget. Official O.K. has been received from the C.P.A. for priorities on the new school building and the plans are being completed as rapidly as possible. Form 4-H Canning Club The Livonia Center 4-H Cann- ing Club held their first meeting on July 30th at the home of Mrs. John Martin, who will act as leader of the newly organized club.

In its simple beginning in 1868,' Memorial Day was an occasion ,observed by Americans, for the dead we honored lay here at home. Memorial Day, 1946, will be ob- served the world over, for our war dead are sleeping in the far places of the world. Closest to our memories are the heroes of the last two World wars, for in these fell our brothers, our !fathers and our husbands. But what `of our grandfathers? Shall these later conflicts, terrible as they were, dim our memory of those heroes of ;1861-65 and of the Spanish-Ameri- can war_? From its original purpose: "For the purpose of strewing with -flow- ers, or Iotherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in de- fense of their country," Memorial Day now also means a day of pray- er, of thanksgiving to those who i gave their all that our children may live in peace.

According to information receiv- ed by extension specialists in clothing at Michigan State col- lege, average sizes of ready-made garments are also being -sized to height. That is, garments ... in- cluding slips, dresses, coats, and suits ... are being made in pro- portionate uength which will fit the short, average, or tall, even though all therr wear size 14. Manufacturers who made gar- ments for women in the armed services became aware of the variations in length. To cut down costly adjustments after garments were made, fabric was cut into correct proportions. This brought about a standard- ization of sizes. Manufacturers are endeavoring to make sizes uni- form. The junior miss, as its name im lies is for the teen-agers or p , sizes run 9, 11, 13, and 15. Misses' sizes are 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 and are designed for the lucky person who is well-proportioned, broad -shouldered, small -waisted, and slim -hipped. 'Sizes 3S and up are the women's sizes intended for the more mature figure - of ............. Wednesday, August 7, 1946 average or taller height. Women of stocky build can be fitted in half sizes. Manufacturers are also reported to be standardizing sizes of from 7 to 14 for young girls with special consideration to stature, height, weight, and girth measurements. In other words, clothing manu- facturers are -endeavoring to make clothing lines that will fit more of their potential customers with little or no alteration. Michigan suffered the largest loss of motor vehicle registra- tions, both in number and per- centage, of any states during 1945. There were 1,453,573 private and commercial vehicles in the state during 1945, a drop of 23,334 or 1.6 per cent under 1944. On the job again!

The book is title -d, "From Texas to Teisnach," and is a true ac- count of the 457th AAA AW Bat- talion from the time it was activa- ted in Texas until the end of hostilities in France. It contains a full page photograph of Lt. Colo- nel Clemens and a foreword he authored. Lt. Colonel Clemens also aided .in the. editing of the book and the gathering of its content. The book is entertaining and enlight- ening. It is filled with photos and several pen and ink sketches which were made by members of the battalion. There is an almanac of events from the •dav the battalion was activated until the war ended. There is a complete roster of per- sonnel and a list of all commenda- tions given the battalion, their battle scores and all special events they participated in ircorporate•d in the volume. It is a book that will appeal to veterans and civilians alike. The photos are very clear and the free-hand sketches are most in- formative. It is a living memorial to the battalion.

These mid -Victorians, leaders in. the community, greeted their host ess — a quietly energetic woman named Clara Barton — and sat down to form the American. Associ- ation of the Red Cross. Out of this meeting developed the mighty or- ganization known today as the American National Red Cross. And Clara Barton, who organized the American Red C,-oss, May 21, 1881. :May 21 has been observed, through- out the years, as the official Red Cross "birthday." From 1870 to that significant, May night, the indefatigable Clara Bar- ton had nursed the sick and wound- ed in the Civil war, fought a step- by-step battle to get American rec- ognition for the Red Cross. As written on the original docu- ment, Red Cross obligations read as follows: "The association shall hold itself in readiness in the event of war or any calamity great enough to be considered national, to in- augurate such practical measures in mitigation of the suffering and for the protectio._ and relief of the sick and wounded. . . .

Page S;x Northville Race Meet One of Nation's Best If anyone still harbors the no- tion that harness racing belongs in the realm of the county fair, the facts and figures at Northville Downs this spring will quickly dispell the idea. The 23 -day meet last spring showed a grand total of $1138,081.00 as compared with $1,283;014.00 for the first twelve days this year. For a closer com- parison, the first eleven days in 1945 aggregated, $420,442 with an average daily handle of $38,222. This year twelve days gives an average dailyhandle of well over $106,000. Northville is topping such notable race tracks as Bay Meadows and Old Orchard. There can be no doubt that the popular- ity of harness racing under the lights is steadily on the upgrade. Saturday night set a new all time high when $141,713 was wagered on the nine races with the attend- ance set at 10,670. It is the kind of racing seen at Northville Downs that is putting harness racing in the limelight. Every night is packed with close finishes, the photo having to decide in many events. Every night track records are broken or equalled, and on last Saturday night Glenyce set a new world's record for trotting a nine -six- teenth. of a mile. She clipped 21/4 seconds off the previous record of 1:10 and the new record stands at 1:07%4.

Charming Scot did not compte in this race, and Blue Again finished fourth. The mile and a sixteenth division of this race was all that was antici- pated when Charming Scot came back again to defend her cham- pionship taken on the previous Saturday. Blue Again offered him a real challenge and was only nosed at the wire. The time equalled the track record of 2:13 set by CharminP, Scot July 20th. /mute Axle- up -1 By GABRIELLE N You need only One Minute a day, to make sure that your skin is soft and smooth.

Will you please discuss this for us? A.—Primarily, party is a collec- tive noun similar to crowd, group, company, as, a hunting party, - a political party, a dinner party, a card party. Only in legal usage should party designate a single person, as the party to a lawsuit, one of the par- ties in a divorce action. Avoid: "He is the party I spoke of.” Better: He is the person I spoke of. Avoid: "A certain party of my acquaintance." Better: An ac- quaintance (friend) of mine. The word "individual" literally means "a single entity; that which cannot be divided," as, society is made up of individuals; a man must be regarded as an individual, and he must accept his lydividual re- sponsibility. Therefore, use of individual to designate a specific person is un- desirable. Avoid: "She's a charming indi- vidual." .Better: She is a charm- ing person (girl, woman). Of late, the word "character" has . entered American. slang in the meaning of, loosely, any specific person, as "And so I says to this character, I says, what kinda char- acter do you think I am—a jerk? I says." While character in the meaning of person is unaccurate, the word may properly be used in desigigat- ing a person of uncommon or out- standing personality, as Napoleon is a" great historic character; the ec- centric old man was a local char- acter who was both loved and feared; according to her friends, she was a saintly character. a s Q.—Is "flustrated" a good word? A.—It's a colloquial form perhaps influenced by "frustrated." The bet- ter and more proper word is "flus- tered."

C. Baltzer, extension dairy spe- cialist at Michigan State college. For this reason, the problem of the dairyman is about the same as it has ilwaN .- been ---":hat is, getting milk pi jduction returns to exceed feed and labor costs. The dairy specialist points out that as production per cow per year increases, feed costs per hundred pounds of milk produc- ed go down.

Those taxes were collected from us, under the authority of the Constitution, to "provide for the common defence and promote the general welfare." More than $55,000,000 of that amount Was paid to LOCAL units of government. That means it went to the cities, counties, villages and townships right here at home, in the territory which The Detroit Edison Company serves. The tiniest village has Edison taxes in its treasury. The little red schoolhouse got its share of the $55,000,000. Edison tax payments were a major contribution to the funds necessary to meet the ever-growing governmental obligations of the City of Detroit. In 1945, Detroit Edison's local taxes passed $6,000,000, for a new high, higher than our Federal taxes for the first time since 1940. There is no intent either to boast onto complain about this record of tax payments. The Detroit Edison Company prizes its position as a private citizen, and with that position goes the obligation to be a tax payer rather than a tax consumer. Let it also be made crystal-clear that you, the buyers of Edison power and light, paid that $122,000,000. It was a part of your electric bill, but it was not a charge for electricity. It WAS a part of your cost of government.
