T]E3E SEND YOUR NEWS TO THE LIVONIAN EVERY WEEK Arthur Jenkins, Editor Wednesday, January 1, 194 Vol. 7, No. 45 Emily Leece First in Rexall Contest Fourteen young ladies in Liv- onia township received an addi- tional surprise Christmas morning when the 14 winners of the Rex - ail Drug Doll Contest were an- nounced by Cecil H. Habermehl Christmas morning at 10 o'clock. These lovely dolls were won by the following girls: Emily Leece, Cathy Laughna, Sharon Walters, Marianne Campion, Diane Mc- Nulty, Norma Straub, Karen Em- met, Judy Heric, Jeannie Weise, Joan Pclhemus, Carol Kay Kaim- back, Virginia Wilson, Janice Lou Garlough, and Carolyn Brooker. How'd It Start? Fire Waste Nears Billion Dollars in 1946 National waste by fire may run to a billion dollars annually by 1953 if the American people do not check the rising trend of losses of lives and property in PREVENTABLE fires. Only once, and possibly Twice, before has waste by fire been so menacing to our national welfare. Previous peak losses were $560,000,000.00 in 1925 and 19,26. 1946 is the most devastating year in our history. Fire waste this year may run to $590,0'0'0,000. or even $600,000,000:00. In addition, some of the most appling loss of life by fire has occurred during recent months. If waste by fire is not checked, and only united effort by the people can be effective—the an- nual toll of destruction will reach more staggering totals. CARELESSNESS AND RECK- LESSNESS are the principal en- emies that we must constantly fight against. We must exert every effort to make the Ameri- can aware of the price of careless- ness and recklessness and to ac- cept individual responsibility in preventing fires. Insurance can reimburse for lost property values. It can pay sums due under policies for des- troyed property, ;but it CANNOT guarantee that any property own- er can get immediate or even early repairs or replacement for damaged or destroyed property. Insurance CANNOT bring back national resources from smoke and ashes. Nor can it restore lives. of which approximately 10;000 are lost through fire each year. Imagine wiping out every pro- ductive acre of farm land and every farm building in the State of Washington, with its orchards, wheat fields, and truck gardens. The 1940 census gives the value of Washington's farms at about 593 million dollars, or just about what 1946 fire losses will be. That puts our waste in a tragic setting. We should not let this happen. It is the DUTY of all interested in general welfare to check this waste and to reverse its trend by every possible means. William Morris, Jr., Slc was home on a nine day furlough from the Jacksonville Naval Air Station in Florida. It was the first time in four years that the entire Morris family had been together over the Christmas holidays. cc-RA. _. )Ti -NEWS ! / 1946 Building Permits Total $2,525; 012; 801 Permits Issued Estimate 50% of These Completed 1946 was the biggest year in the history of Livonia Township for the •building of new homes and business places with 282 per- mits for new homes; 25 for busi- ness places and 494 permits issu- ed for garages, additions, tool sheds, chicken coops and altera- tions. The total cost of construction during the year was $2,525,012 and it is estimated b- the Town- ship officials that about 50 per- cent of this amount was entirely completed and 75 percent started, but not finished by those with permits. These new homes ranged in price from $1,875 to $14;000 and are located throughout the town- ship with no particular area be- ing developed much faster than any other particular district. New business places were built in Rosedale Gardens, in the Joy Road Middlebelt section, along Seven Mile Road as well as Five Mile road.

During September, October, November and December there was a gradual tapering off of building in the township. Eighteen building permits were issued- in the month of December by the Building Inspector, Ev- erett Mason with fourteen of these for new homes ranging in price from $2,000 to $14,000. G. H. Williams was given two permits for $5,000 frame homes which will be built on the east side of Deering between Joy road and Cathedral. R. G.

Last Monday, the Pen Mar was the scene of the annual Livonia Rotary Club Christmas party with about 30 happy and thrilled kid- dies there to welcome Santa Claus who had a gift for each child. Members of the club brought their own child or children and in some cases brought a neighbor's moppet. It was "Grimm" -Ray- mond -to the members in atten- dence, but mighty fine to the kid- dies as Santa -made the rounds saying "hello" and shaking hands with the youngsters. Several were quite indignant when Santa told how some of the deer hunters had attempted to shoot his rein- deer as he was makin- his trip down from the north pole. .Santa caused various reactions among those who still believe in him. Some were wide eyed, some were speechless, a few tearful, others had a glint in their eye, 'but everyone is looking foreward with much anticipation to next years Christmas art Services Held For Richard Gaston Funeral services were held at 10:30 Thursday morning at St. Paul's Lutheran church, Farm- ington Road at Five Mile Road, for Richard Gaston, 32, who was killed Monday -noon in an auto- mobile accident at Howell, Mich- igan.

The Gaston were returning from Ludington where they had spent the weekend with Mrs. Gas - ton's folks to celebrate Christmas several days early. On entering Howell, a piepup truck attempt- ed to pass another car driving west on Grand River, skidded on the ice, when the driver attempt- ed slow down and crashed into the Gaston automobile, killing Mr. Gaston instantly and very severly injuring Mrs. Gaston. Their daughter Sandra, 5, was uninjured. Mrs. Gaston was taken to the McPherson Hospital in Howell and at the last report was out of danger, but would remain there for another week or ten days. Mr. Gaston is survived by his wife, Alice, a daughter; Sandra, his mother; Mrs. Arthur Domer of Seneca, Illinois, a brother; Glen and step brother; Robert Domer.

Mr. Evans, following the line of duty, went in to investigate the situation and while talking to the proprietor, `Buck" the monk -bit, the honorable deputy.

Chief among the delaying Notable among Lite road pro - troubles was a critical shortage of cement and steel, which pre- vented work on most of the pro- jects listed on this year's program. Highway Commissioner Charles M. Ziegler reports that during P946 contracts were let for work that will .cost $30;000;000when completed. This work covers 32 miles of pavement to be :built on previously constructed grades, 97 miles of grading and drainage structures (mostly on locations to be paved in 1,947), 103 miles of new grades and :paving, 44 miles of .grading and gravel surface and 40 bridges and grade separations. A small part of this work was done in 1946. The rest is schedul- ed for completion in 1947, The John C. Lodge and Edsel Ford expressways in Detroit were officially started during 1946. Bids have :been taken for the initial projects of this great develop- .ment. The 'Lodge expressway will run from the Detroit river area near the Fort :Street Union depot north along. Six street and Hamil- ton avenue to the vicinity of Pal- lister street. The Edsel Ford ex- pressway will join the Detroit end �of the Detroit Industrial express- way at Wyoming and Michigan avenues at the Detroit west city limits and run easterly across the city of John R. street in the vicin- ity of Medbury street. They will intersect in the vicinity of Hamil- ton and Stanley streets. The fed- eral government, state of Michi- gan, city of Detroit and Wayne county will share the cost. Sev- eral yearswill be required for completion and the cost of these initial sections will probably ex- ceed $40;000;000, The Lodge route eventually will be extended to a junction with James Couzens (Northwestern) highway and the Edsel Ford highway will be ex- tended across the east side of De - sects started during the year or placed under contract, all of them scheduled for completion in 1947, are: a 4.2 mile new section ofM-29 between Mt.

Many fine lines have been !bowled and more 1;000 series have been rolled in the first half of the season than any other entire year the history of the Livonia Recreation Alleys.
