the abdomen December 28 when
examining a .2:2 rifle with a play
mate is :back home once more

turn to the hospital for three
days in order to have a check up.

St. Paul's Church
Observes Its
75th Anniversary
In a week of special services,
St. Paul's Ev. Lutheran Church,
Farmington Road at Five Mile, is
observing the 75th anniversary of
its founding.
The history of the congregation
dates back to the 14th of January,
1872. On that day a number of
the members of St. Peter's Ev.
Lutheran Church in Plymouth
had invited the Lutheran families
living in the vicinity of Livonia
Center to attend a special service
conducted in the old Livonia Cen-
ter Schoolhouse. Immediately
following this service the Luth-
erans present organized to form
a congregation. They adopted the
name still used by the congrega-
tion.
For the first seven years the
young group worshipped where
ever room was available. The
problem of finding a suitable
place in which to conduct services
was solved in 1879 when the
members decided to erect a
church building. With changes
and additions that building still
serves the congregation as its
house of worship.
Throughout the greater por-
tion of its history St. Paul's con-
gregation was dependent upon
pastors who served one or more
congregations in addition to their
own. Until 1940 these pastors
came either from Farmington,
Plymouth or Wayne.
Early in 1941 the congregation
decided to become an independ-
ent parish. It -extended the call
to the Reverend Theodore Sauer.
Continued and steady growth
since that tirrs,� have proved the
wisdom of that decision.
Four special services have been
arranged to observe the "anniver-
sary, Last Sunday the congrega-
tion joined in the Anniversary
Communion Service in which
Pastor Sauer preached the ser-
mon. Yesterday evening the act-
ual date of the anniversary was
observed with a special song ser-
vice featuring a chorus made up
of pastors from southeastern
Michigan and northwestern Ohio.
Pastor. H. Engel of Saline deliv-
ered the message.
Next Sunday, January .19th, has
been designated as Anniversary
Sunday. Pastor W. Westendorf of
South Haven, Michigan, will
preach the sermon in the morn-
ing service beginning at 10:30
a.m. Pastor E. Hoenecke of Plym-
outh will be the speaker in the
afternoon service beginning at
3:30 p.m,. A children's choir from
John's ohn's Christian Day School
in Wayne will furnish the music
in this service.
A cordial invitation is(extend-
ed to all to attend these services.
L.R.C. Juniors

The L.R.C. Juniors had their
regular monthly club dance Fri-
day, January 10 with 116 mem-
bers present.
The Committees, Miss Bell and
Miss Wenzel on decorations, Miss

mittees.
G. Page L.R.C. Boy's Director

tion Club Executive Committee

Hi kids! Plymouth High is now
tied for first place in the basket-
ball league with Trenton, remain-
ing undefeated. Although Plym-
outh was defeated by Northville
last week Tuesday, it does not
count in the standing because
Northville is not in the league.
The Northville -Plymouth bas-
ketball game was one of the most
exciting encounters in Plymouth's
history. The teams ran neck and
neck right up into the last few
minutes of playing time when
Northville scored the winning
point totaling the score at 27-2,6.
Plymouth's starting lineup was:
Farewell, Schomberger, McIn-
tosh, Becker, and Dobbs.
Plymouth also had another
game in the high school gym last
Friday evening with the Ypsilanti
Braves which Plymouth won by
a very large margin, still keeping
them up there in first.place.
An up and coming basketball
star is sophomore Larry Finney
of Plymouth. Although playing
on the reserve team, Larry should
become Varsity material ,pretty
soon now.
Well, kids exams are just
around the corner. Its only a few
more days now until we'll be
sweating over a judgment day
test! How is it that when a cer-
tain brunet freshman hears the
name `Dick' she blushes lately?
Could it -be love?
Thats all for this week guys
and gals, watch for me next

Do You Wast To Make Your Zoning Worth While?
The comprehensive plan of the Livonia Township Zoning Ordi-
nance was adopted by the Township December 6, 1945 for the pur-
posa of promoting public health, safety, prosperity and general wel-
fare of the community. This ordinance was also set up to create
and promote an attractive municipality, by having certain regula-
tions and restrictions that preserve and create a more favorable en-
vironment in which to rear children. And in order to accomplish
these aims and purposes, regulations to limit the locations, the uses,
occupancy of buildings, the land for trade, industry, residence or
other purposes, have been set up.
Therefore in a few words, the Zoning Ordinance should primar-.
ily make Livonia a better place in which to live and raise a family,
if you have one, and in the long run increase the value of real estate
and your homes.
But having an industrial area in the immediate vicinity •cer-
tainly will not accomplish this. Areas have been designated for light
and heavy industrial sections and these are not located in residential
districts. Yet Syd Weinberg and his attorney have their petition up
for hearing Thursday, January 30th at 8 p.m. at the Township. Hall
to change about 20 acres from an A -G -1-C classification to an M-2
(Heavy Industrial). Just what will an M-2 classification permit?
Foundries, boiler works, drop forging plants, incinerator plonts.
Slaughter Houses, Fertilizing manufacturing, Stc•ckyards,
Tanning.
In order to get around the Zoning Board of Appeals d•acision
to remove a barn, Mr. Weinberg is willing to sacrifice the value of
all the homes in the Harrison Road, Terrance, Alexander and Sun-
nydale aswell as in the immediate vicinity. It is true a petition was
signed by about 33 people living in this area, but at the same time
they undoubtedly did not realize the far reaching results of such a
classification change. Mr. Weinberg can say, "Well I don't int -and
to allow industry to come in." But Mr: Weinberg may sometime in
the future sell his property. He might•even bring industry in'!
Now for some of the history of JUST WHY MR. WEINBER,G
WANTS THIS UNSELFISH CLASSIFICATION CHANGE TO A
M-2.
On February 4, 1946, which incidently was -the first meeting of
the Zoning Board of Appeals, Morton Stables, 16039 Harrison Road,
petitioned this Board for permission to build a shelter to house
horses and equipment. Because of the fact that this business is a
non -conforming use; the petition was denied.
On March 7, 1946, Mr. Weinberg petitioned this body to replace
the walls of the present building 31x54 ft., with concrete block.
Permission was to be granted on submission of a plan of the
existing building.
On September 5, 1946, ,John A. Allen; attorney for Mr. Weinberg
petitioned the board to keep a barn which had Caen attached to th?
existing building. This barn in question had been moved from ad-
joining. property purchased sometime in 1946, but it was moved
without a permit and this infraction cost Syd Weinberg $25.00. He
claimed ignorance to the necessity of 'getting a moving permit from
the Township Building Inspector. The case was held over for one
month.
At the October 3rd meeting the Zoning Board ordered Mr.
Weinberg to tear the barn down within 66 days.
In order to circumvent this order, Mr. Weinberg and his attor-
ney petitioned the Township Board the second of December to
change the classification to an M-2 district. The petition was turned
over to the Zoning Board for action" and they will hold a public,
hearing January 30th.
Working both ends against the middle, Mr. Alyn secured a Writ
of Mandamus against the Township Board, Building Inspector and
Zoning Board of Appeals, to show cause why the building in question
should be removed.
It behooves a representative of all civic organizations and indi-
viduals in Livonia to attend this public hearing in order to voice
their objections to this change, regardless of whether or not you live
in the immediate vicinity .
IT IS YOUR TOWNSHIP AND YOUR ZONING
ORDINANCE AND IT IS YOUR PROPERTY WHICH
IS AT STAN£,
DATE: JANUARY 30th. TIME: 8:00 p.m.
PLACE: TOWNSHIP HALL.
It has comae to the Editor's attention that many residents in Livonia
are wondering why the Livonia Township School Board letter. dated
December 30 was printed in the Livonian and just what were the previ-
ous letters between the Zoning Board and School Board. Consequently
it has been r-aquested that in order to present a more complete picture
of the situation the Zoning Board letters be printed.
December 20 1,946
Mr. H. O. Johnson, Superintendent,
Livonia School District,
Plymouth, Mich.
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Your letter of November 12th, 1946; to the Livonia Township Zoning
Commission, has been brought before the Zoning Board for attention.
Upon discussion of the merits 'of the letter, the majority of the board
members present feel that the Five Mile Road frontage under; the pres-
ent Zoning Ordinance,- which is now zoned for residential and commer-
cial uses, should remain as such, because in the future it may be
changed to commercial uses exclusively.
The Zoning Board has consistently in the past refused to destroy the
tax -revenue potentialities, well knowing the great meed for additional
taxes for both the Township and the School District. To surrender these
taxes would be considered an unnecessary waste of revenue producing
lands.

This Board further feels that the school site to the al ay line, which
is approximately 110 feet South of Five Mile Road, is more than ample
for school needs.
It is, therefore, hoped that the School Board will consid•�r the tax
needs of this community and not condemn the Five Mile Road frontage
for school purposes.
With reference to the Building Inspector being ordered not to issue
any building permits to, prospective builders in this area; under the
O'tdinanee, the Building Inspector has no alternative but to issue build-
ing permits. However, he has been instructed to advise such applicants
of the possibility of any condemnation proceedings you may institute.
In view of the hardship which is now being created on the owners
of the lots along the Five Mile frontage in this area, we 'trust that you.
will take imm+ediate setps to clarify your position in this matter so that
it will be known to the general public;
Yours sincerely,
LIVONIA TOWNSHIP ZONING COMMISSION,
(Signed) Carson W. Johnston, Chairman.
School Board Thoughts
The School Board feels that because about one-third of the lots
fronting on Five Mile Road were .acquired for $900 it would be good
business to go ahead and purchase the remainder of the property, with
the exception of lots 51 and 52, at the present time rather than wait for
the future when the property would undoubtedly be much higher. It
will, it is their contention, permit a better landscaped and more beauti-
ful site and allow for parking facilities when an athletic program be-
comes a reality. Therefore they are going ahead with condemnation
proceedings.
January 10th, 1947
Mr. H. O. Johnson, Superintend -ant,
Livonia School District,
Plymouth, Mich.
Dear_ Mr. Johnson:
We are in receipt of your letter of Dec. 30th in reply to our letter
• of December 20th.
After giving this matter a great deal of discussion at our meeting
of January 9th, we have arrived at the same decision as related to you in
our letter of Dec. 20th, that is, the unnecessary condemnation of the
commercial lots facing Five Mile Road to the depth of 100 fent south.
The Board feels that while some of these lots are now Stat^ owned
or that they have been obtained by your. Board gratis, we are looking
toward the future -development of the Township of Livonia. We also
feel that, as the Township progresses and its population increases, Five
Mile Road, which is now the central highway of the Township, would be
turned into business frontage and that,, the tax revenue on this road
would, no doubt, be greater than any other thoroughfare in the Town-
ship.
It was the consensus of opinion of the Board members present that .as
more money is received on taxes, more money will be received by the
School Board for increaseinsalaries of the teachers and maintenance
of the school buildings for the betterment of the school facilities.
It is also our firm opinion that this Board should not dictate orders
to the School Board as to what lots should be required for the school
site, we do feel, however, that as a Zoning Board, it is our civic duty
to not only look after the present but for the future as well, and with
this in mind, we trust that you will 'reconsider the former action that
you have taken and delete the Five Mile Road frontage from your
proposed school site.
- We appreciate your mention of the cooperation you have received
from this board, and we again want to assure you that our intent is not
only for the good of the future school facilities of the Township, but
also for the Township as a whole.
Yours sincerely,
LIVONIA TOWNSHIP ZONING COMMISSIuN.
C. W. Johnston, Chairman.

"America the Beautiful"
Livonia Center students were
privileged Thursday in witnessing n
a very colorful and stirring mo-
tion picture entitled ";America
the Beautiful."
This movie, produced 'by Warner
Brothers, was a service to the
Treasury Department. The movie
emphasized the resources of
America and urged thrift by sup-
porting the Bond Plan.
It was the first of a group of
assemblies held in the recently
vacated old home economics
room. It is hoped that next sem-
ester regularly weekly programs
can be held in this room.

V The children of St. Michael
School have come to school with
all the vim and vigor a child is
capable of possessing to start
the New Year right.
We enjoy our noon recreation
hours very much, because we have
all the winter fun surrounding
our school.
The New Year has brought
many new pupils to our school.
In the first grade James Couzens
is their new pupil. In the fifth
grade Shirley Sawry is their new
pupil and Mary Lou Schultz is
welcomed bank to their room.
Coriheen Holland is the seventh
graders, new pupils. The eight
graders welcome Rosemary Cleve-
land into their room.
Artistic talent are again put
to use as the Christmas Bulletin
decorations are taken down and
new ones substituted. Our first
grade is most appealing to the eye.
The little ones are encouraged
by the educational decorations on
the boards. On the front board
they have pictures of the child-
hood of Our Lord a model for
them. On the sideboard they have
A, B, C, flash cards for the learn-
ing of phonics. For the study of
colors they have color pictures
and the names underneath them.
To ;put them in the winter spirit
one section of the bulletin 'board
is devatated to a winter scene. To
show their artistic ability they
made their own small figures of
paper triangles and circles.
On the back ;board they have
star cards. -On these cards they
receive stars for their work.
Another new feature added is
congregational singing by the
entire school We are learning a
beautiful old Gregorian Chant
and hope in time to render it
most perfectly at our morning
Mass.

Livonia Girls Turn Domestic
Aqua and cream are to be the
colors which will 'provide the
background for the Livonia Cen-
ter domestic science activities.
The manual labor necessary to
sphere is being furnished by the
girls themselves.
Several groups have been de-
voting their Saturdays to paint-
ing, while others, have been shop-
ping for drapery material. Money
for the drapes was partially rais-
ed through a bake sale in Dec-
ember.
Six sewing machines, a refri-
gerator, a stove, an ironing board
and two irons have been purchas-
ed by the School Board to equip
the room. With the addition of
this material, the girls are hoping
to make great strides in the mas-
tery of the domestic arts.

How°d It Start?
Fire Dapartment
Five Years Old
Five years ago this .month your
Fire Department came into ex-
istence.
Approximately twenty five men
felt at that time that they could
devote sufficient time and energy
to carry on indefinately. However,
circumstances altered •cases and
after the very rigorous eight
weeks' training •period that the
men went thru with their instruc-
tor, coupled with various night
calls at 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. in the
morning with the thermometer
hugging 5 Begs. and other reasons,
the number of regular men grad-
ually dwindled to about fifteen.
Mr. Calvin Roberts was chosen
to be Chief of the department
and under his capable guidance
the men have worked and studied
until the -department has become
one of the best volunteer depart-
ments in the district.
In the past five years, the de-
partment has responded to 496
fire ,calls in the township, on an
average of about 79 per year.
Yearly fire losses have been far
below the average for commun-
ities of a comparable population
and it would seem that it could
be attributed to the efficient work
of the department or possibly to
a very vigorous fire prevention
program that has been carried on
thru this newspaper, or both.
Notwithstanding, we believe that
for a volunteer department work-
ing with no remuneration, that
they have done yeoman service
to the residents of Livonia twon
ship.
Last year the men formed a

This famous cream con-
tains an active, natural
hormone ingredient
which the skin absorbs.
It's the equivalent of a
substande rich in young
skins, but decreasing
with the years. Use it
faithfully—and see a re-
warding, younger look?

Firemen's Association to which
all men of the department belong
and the high -light of their first
year's activities was their FIRST
ANNUAL BALL to which more
than 400 people attended. The
proceeds of the dance were added
to the treasury which had been
started by the collection of an-
nual dues plus a very substantial
gift from one of the civic associa-
tions in the township. Some of
the money was used to .buy reg-
ulation cops and 'badges for the
men as the purchasing of uni-
forms was out of the question
during the war years. Small gifts
were bought for members or their
families when they were ill. Ad- '
ditional books of instruction were
also purchased to add to the al-
ready growing library of instruc-
tion literature. Contributions were
made to worthy causes such as
Red Cross, Goodfellows, polio
funds and others.
Plans for the SECOND 1'.N-
NUAL BALL are already under
way and. it is hoped that everyone
that hears of it will plan to at-
tend, thereby making it even a
greater success than last year.
Those of you who do not know
of your department are earnestly
and cordially invited to come to
the fire station at Plymouth and
Merriman roads. Come in and
look around, ask questions, get
acquainted the men would like
to meet you. They are all regular
fellows and are only trying to
carry out the friendly thought
that they .are ready and willing
at all times to come to the aid
of a neightbor who is 'beyond
helping himself.
Remember the telephone num-
ber if you need them:—Livonia

Two Places Robbed
This Past Week
Late Monday night or early
Tuesday morning, the Chapple
Hanmburg Stand and the Red-
ford Cleaners, Plymouth road at
Inkster -were broken into.
According to the reports about
$10.00 was taken from the Stand
while the robbers took the cash
register and some men's clothing
from the Cleaning establishment.
Entrance was gained by break-
ing the glass in the front door of
Chapple's and by breaking in the
door of the Redford Cleaners.
These were the only two business
places broken into this section.
A widow who inherits a com-
plicated estate is likely to revise
her opinion of the late deceased.
In Boonville, Mo., Herman Bog-
gs spotted a life preserver in the
river, went after it, drowned.

In the next week or two the
Probate Court will appoint a new
member to the Township Zoning
Board to fill the vacancy created
by the death of William F:enske.

Livonia's next Blood Bank Day
is scheduled for February 19th.

Mrs. Louis Balmes (Violet) re-
signed her position as secretary
to the superintendent of schools,
Harry O. Johnson, effective Jan-
uary 9. Mrs. Balmes' resignation
was brought about by the illness
of her mother, Mrs. Moyle of
Hancock who is going to make
her home with Mr. and Mrs.
Balmes in Livonia.
Our Volunteer Fire Department

now making plans to sponsor a
Valentine Dance at the Newburg

details later.
Politics are in the air with the
Primary election coming up Mon-
day'—February 17. At the pres
ent time there is much specula-
tion as to just who is going to
run, for what office, and on what
ticket. From here it looks like a
good "dog fight" might develop
and some harsh words may be
spoken. Petitions do not have to
be filed until the end of the
month and they should answer
most of the questions.

How'd It Start?
Mother and Children
Routed from Home
Fire which was thought to have
started from defective wiring,
seriously damaged the interior
and contents of tt_e home of Mrs.
Celia Rohmer, 34594 Schoolcraft
Road, Friday afternoon at 5 p.m.
Mrs. Rohmer and the children
were not injured, but it was
necessary for kind neighbors to
take them in until the home can
again be made livable and the
furnishings replaced.
It is not known whether the
loss is covered by insurance. The
house is owned by Mr. E. Lowen-
thal of Detroit who owns and
operates the Progressive Poultry
Farm nearby.
