Bread Strike
On in Some
of The Stores
Protesting current wholesale
bread prices, a number of the
merchants in Livonia township
refused to accept bread deliveries
during the past week and offered
only that which they had on hand
for sale Detroit stores were not
affected by the boycott.
The merchants and all members
of the Michigan Retail Grocers
and Meat Dealers Association are
asking for a reduction of one cent
per loaf from the present whole-
sale price of •12 cents. Twelve
cent loafs sell for 14 cents, which
is a price fixed and marked on the
wrappers by the various bakers.
This two cent margin leaves no
profit according to the grocers.
Many of the Township mer-
chants continued to market the
bread, however, some joined in
the strike. Other than the chain
stores, all the merchants in Plym-
outh were backing the strike one
hundred percent. In Livonia, only
about one-fourth of the stores
were backing the plan. The strike
covers noveltry breads, rolls,
,cakes and standard loaves.

Bell Installs
New Type Cable
DETROIT, Jan. 22—A new type
of underground telephone cable
to help serve rural subscribers in
Michigan Bell Telephone Com-
pany territory is now being in-
stalled in some sections of the
state.
Theodore H. Dawson, head of
the same as it was for 1946—to
provide service for 20',OCO new
subscribers now living in rural
areas," Dawson said. Michigan
Bell went "over the top" last year
by installing 4,00J more tele-
phones than it originally. set its
sights for.
Michigan Bell plans to put up
over 9X'00 miles of telephone
wire this year to serve those on
the waiting list and in so far as
possible continue its program of
reducing the number of parties
per line to eight or fewer.
During the past year, the num-
ber of parties on 2,850 rural lines
was reduced to eight or fewer.
Dawson said that Michigan
Bell now serves 107;000 rural sub-
scribers, double the number ser-
ved in 1941.
The new -type underground
cable :now being installed for the
first time in Michigan was de-
veloped by the Bell Telephone
Laboratories especially for rural.
construction. It is lightning proof
and withstands other severe
weather conditions.
The life of the cable is increas-
ed by use of two types of synthe-
tic rubber insulation and a mesh
of woven steel wires.
Nearly 20 million yards of
piece goods, includingg .percale,
flannel, melton cloth, netting,
sheeting and poplin are bring cur-

For Winter Sports
The tremendous increase in
winter sports activities has stimu-
lated resort operators and lodge
owners to "winterize" present
structures. New construction is
being built with an eye on "Old
Man Winter."
While vacationers like to en-
voy the cold and snow outside,
they also like the warmth and
comfort of a well -insulated struc-
ture at the end of the day. A
drafty building with an under-
sized heating unti can spoil an
otherwise perfect day.
C. A. Gunn, extension agricul-
tural. engineer with the tourist
and resort service of Michigan
State College, has some timely
tsps that will add comfort to your
customer's wintertime vacation.
First, heat losses through cracks
can be eliminated by the instal-
lation of weather-stripping around

painter's caulking compound will
also reduce losses at these points.
Second, reduce the heat loss
through the roof walls, and floors
with insuldtion. This can be done
with either insulation board or
the batt or fill type insulation
material between studs or joists.
The last ,point of heat loss, win-
dow glass, can be reduced by the
installation of storm sash and
storm -doors.
If these suggestions are carried
out, it will permit the use of a
smaller heating plant and still
give greater comfort. Several -
types and capacities of space heat-
ing equipment can be purchased.
The final choice depends upon the
size of building to be heated and
the relative cost and availability
of the various kinds of fuels.
Space heaters that are placed
within a room are easiest to in-
stall. The addition of a fireplace,
containing a heat circulating unit,
not only adds heat to the room,
but becomes an attractive in-
terior and exterior feature. All
heat equipment using gaseous,
liquid, or solid fuels should be
connected to a chimney by a
stovepipe- of adequate size and
durability. ,
.The small additional cost of these
procedures is easily justified
through greater .comfort for vaca-
tioners and tourists. They also
mean accommodations that would
otherwise be unavailable. The
owner also realizes greater in-
come through more use of his
facilities.
The Recreation Committee of
the Rosedale Gardens has been
formed to promote and control
clean, honest sports for this com-
munity through the efforts of
William T. (Bill) Lloyd its presi-
dent.
The ice rink and hockey league
is under way. A sanction has been
granted Bill from the Amateur
Hockey Association of the United
States through Mr. Fred Huber
Directors of the A.H.S.U.S. for
this district. There will be seven
teams in this league known as the
Southern Miheigan League. Teams
from Rosedale Gardens, Berkely,
Farmington, Wayne, Redford and
two from Detroit. Let us take a
look at hockey games Tuesday,
Thursday, or Saturday evenings
from 7:00 to 10a00 p.m.
Many other events are planned
by the committee. It is hoped that
your suggestions and criticisms
will help make for more competi-
tion and better sports.

Stressing Importance
Of Fire Protection
In most communities the need
of fire protection or possibly in-
creased fire protection is based
upon the present •difficulty in re-
placing burned property. Due to
shortage of structural materials,
increased valuations have raised
the stake the average citizen may
have in a potential fire. Many
fire departments can point to
large losses that might have been
minimized had their former pleas
for adequate or additional equip-
ment been heeded.
Most important of all, the chief
reason for good fire protection is
to safeguard human life against
destruction by uncontrolled fire.
With this foremost in mind, there
should be few persons willing to
gamble one of two mils increase
in taxes against the judgement
of the local fire department as to
what constitutes adequate fire
protection for the community.
Who can balance the cost of
necessary fire protection and fa-
cilities against the value of a
SINGLE human life ??
Big Yield —
Wrong Contest
Jerome DeBaker, Rock, Mar-
quette County, entered the cer-
tified seed potato growing contest
this year and he did all right. He
grew nearly 494 bushels per acre
on his plot. Nevertheless, he
wishes he had entered the table -
stock contest.
His .production of 730 bushels
per acre of tablestock potatoes
tops the winner of the tablestock
contest but that doesn't help a
bit. Because he entered the cer-
tified seed contest, he wasn't
eligible for competition in table -
stock growing.
Let's hope that next year he
guesses right on the contest he
should enter.

er, 37; learned that she had he -

At Penn Theatre
Harry Lush, Plymouth's theatre
owner, will again this year great-
ly aid the March of Dimes cam-
paign. He'll do so in a very novel
manner.
Mr. Lush has notified Miss Neva
Lovewell, chairman of the cam-
paign in Plymouth, that the Penn
theatre will be given over to an
area -wide special March of Dimes
show on Wednesday, January 29.
On that evening Mr. Lush will
offer a special film at 'both 7 and 9
p.m. The general public of Plym-
outh and its environs are urged
to attend. They'll find there is
no set admission ,price that night.
Instead, Mr. Lush is putting
the question of admission
squarely up to every individual
who attends. He says simply.
"Let each and every person
come and see the show and pay
whatever they wish."
Now that is a most generous
offer when one stops to realize
that Mr. Lush must pay regular
prices for the film to be shown
and the expenses connected with
showing it. it becomes more gen-
erous when he reports that every
last cent paid by the movie-goers
that night wiil go to. the March
of Dimes. He'll stand the expenses
out of his own pocket.
Mr. Lush urges everyone to
attend and see a good show while
aiding the local drive to obtain
funds for polio victims and their
hospitalization.
Persons tempted to take advan-
tage of the generous offer and see
the show for nothing or less than
the regular admission price are
reminded that good health is
something one can't buy.
Failure to give more than the
regular admission charge will not
place any stigma on the individu-
al. Mr. Lush asks only that in
view of what the special arrange-
ment is to benefit, that everyone
should try to give as much as
they feel they possibly can.
Certainly he is doing much
more than is required, so let's all
pitch in and give more than we
might under ordinary circums- •
tances.

Trailer Company
Destroyed by Fire
Fire, which was thought to
have started from overheated
heating equipment, destroyed the
trailer manufacturing business of
Floyd Golden.
The plant is located near the
corner of Deering and Pembroke
aves. The fire starting at 4:60
a.m. on Wednesday, January 15,
required the work of both the
Livonia Fire Department as well
as men and two pumpers of the
Redford Fire Depatment it was
7:00 a.m. before the fire was com-
pletely under control and salvage
operations gotten under way.
Both . departments are to be
complemented on their work in
saving the four homes immedia-
tely adjoining the plant on all
four sides. The amount of damage
was considerable but at the time
of going to press the approximate
amount was not determined.
One of the Livonia firemen was
slightly injured in responding
to the call due to slipping on the
ice, straining his shoulder.
All operations were hampered
to a great extent by tine lack of
hydrant facilities and water had
to be carried by one of the trucks
for a distance cf ovpr six blc'cks
in order to combat the blaze.
Valuable machinery and one
complete trailer were destroyed
but is was ,possibl_- to couple on
to, and remove, one; newly com-
pleted trailer.
The plant was. owned by Floyd
Garden.
Damage to building was cover-
ed by insurances.
Damage to contents was not
covered by. insurances.

Scout Program
Outdoor activities have always
had a major place in the Girl .
Scout :program; girls of all ages
are eager for the fun and ad-
ventures to be found in the out-
door, whether it is on a nature
exploration, a camp -out, or a
walking trip with an experienced
group. Because of this appeal
every troop program contains
some phase of out-of-door activi-
ty, no matter what season of the
year.
Girl Scout Leaders have long
recognized the value of outdoor
activities in the .general develop-
ment of girls. Those who place
great value on outdoor living
-know that the advantages are
better realized in extended stays
in the open. Camping has become
the means of extending outdoor
troop programs in town to longer
per ods of living outdoors, where
groups of girls may learn to live
happily together, to live simply,
to know and appreciate the valvae
of this activity.
Girl Scout Camping Objectives
Because the Girl Scout Organ-
ization believes so firmly that a
camping and outdoor program
adds much to the development of
girls, it has formulated goals that
guide it in its camping plans.
These objectives, carried on thru
local unites, such as Livonia Girl
Scout Council, are as follows:
(1) To stimulate real enjoyment
and appreciation of the out-of-
doors thru progressively adven-
turous experiences.
(2) To provide training in cit-
izenship thru the give and take
of community living in which
each girl has a part in planning

(3) To contribute to the physic-
al and mental well being of every
Girl Scout Camper. In order to
accomplish these objectives each
local group uses these guides.
(A) To provide camping oppor-
tunities for as many girls as pos-
sible.
(B) To choose for each camp
site an outdoor setting that is
helpful, safe and rich in natural
beauty.
(C) To setup the camp in such
a way, that however large the
total number of campers, each
girl may be a part of a small
living :group or unit.
(D) To provide a staff of quali-
fied adults to conduct these ac-
tivities.
As a means of making camping
available to many girls, the or-
ganizatton has developed- several
types of camps; established camps
where girls from many troops
gather for one or two weeks under
a resident staff; troop camps, for
individual troops and leaders for
weekends or longer periods; and
day camps, where girls from many
troops camp by the day on a near-
bv site, under a special staff.
For the coming year, the Livonia
Girl Scout • Council, will concen-
trate on day camping activities,
as it is possible to reach a larger
percentage of the girls in this
manner. These camps are conduc-
ted on sites that will present op-
portunities for outdoor activities
nea rthe homes of the Campers, or
within easy transportation facili-
ties. These camps provide the first
camping experience for many
girls, this is especially true of
Brownie Scouts, who may .best
begin their outdoor living in day
camps. Plans are underway now
for several of such camps during
the coming spring and summer
months.

The fire started in: the utility
room and had gained considerable
headway before the arrival of' the
Livonia Fire Dept. There was no
hydrant in the immediate vicinity
and the department did remark-
able work in confining the fire to
the area involved with the 300
gallons , of water carried on the
truck in the booster tank.
The damage was approximately
$1,50.00 to the house and the
same amount to the contents. It
was said that both items were
covered by insurance.

Hi kids: P.H.S. now stands see-
ond in the basketball league be-
ing defeated by Trenton High
School last Friday evening at
Trenton. After the game, Trenton
was gracious enough to let the
Rocks use their swimming pool,
of which Plymouth took advan-
tage. Although P.H.S. lost, they
played a good game ending with
a score of 48-35.
The ChemisLry Club of Plym-

Teachers may Get
Requested Raise
At .the Board of Education
meeting Monday, January 13, the
Prcfessional Problems Committee
of the Livonia Teacher's Club,
consisting of Miss Esther Simpson,
chairman, Mrs. Hester Cow, Mrs.
Ruth MacBride and James Ross -
man appeared before the Board
asking for salary increases for all
the teacers,
The Teachers' Club offered two
puns: (1) $53 per month increase
effective December 1, 1946, (2)
The Board should allocate 70 per -
cert of the Sales Tax Diversion
Amendment for teachers salaries.
The latter plan was considered
best by the Club.
In that the Board of Education
is confronted with many pro-
biems; class size, maintenance,
equipment, good school plant, it
was pointed out by the Board that
all must be taken into considera-
tion.
A resolution was passed how-
ever, which would grant the
teachers 70 percent of that por-
tion of the Sales Tax (the 1/6
clause) to be pro -rated on a
monthly basis from September,
1946, ;provided that the said: teach-
er is in the employment of the
District after January 2, 1947 and
until the, end of the school year.
Also that said payment from the
state shall not in any way de-
crease the present estimated state
aid receipts for the year and if
and when the this Diversion
money is paid to the district.
