LIVONIAN Livonia Township, P1ymbuth, Michigan Wednesday, May 28, 1947 Vol. 8, No. 14 Students at Neburg Junior High thought that friends of Ruth Chalfont may care to share in their news from her. She is a con- velescent patient at the Warm Springs Foundation, Ga. and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Chalfont of Rosedale. Ruth's nurse writes, "She just loves a little seventh grade Spanish book that Joan Byran, a South American girl, brought her. Ruth has a quick ear for Spanish and gets her vocabulary nicely. I am trying to keep fresh material before her at all times. She is as alert as can be, yet I feel that we here at Warm Springs, go awfully slow. She does very well handling light material, but when tools are too heavy, she cannot manage them very well. Ruth is always in high spirits and I don't believe I have ever heard her complain. She cried once on a rainy day when she was alone in her room. She said she didn't have any particular reason for crying but was `just crying', I felt that it was a very normal thing and when I loked in a lttle later, she was along with the others, taking the roof off the room with their gayety." With the help of Ruth's nurse, who took down notes as Ruth dictated the following book report "Sequoya" by Catherine Cate Ruth Chalfont Coblentz and the help of the hospital technician typing the report, the bock report is sub- mitted for the community to read. SEQ UOYA Catherine Cate Coblentz Sequoya, son of a Cherokee mother and a white father, was born with a crippled leg, and was (Continued on page 11) Mixed Doubles Tournament Ends With A Rush,1361 Top Series Ten 1300 or Better Series Shot This Year After a soinewhat slow start, due to the 1352 posted by Marie Shamlock and Al Barth the open- ing weekend of the Mixed Doubles Tournanment and the phone strike, the tournament closed with a rush. 342 Combinations Bowl Three hundred and forty-two combinations bowled in the 1947 Fourth Annual Tournament held at the Livonia Recreation Alleys and forty places received prize Campfire Picnic Planned for June 4 At their Executive meeting held last Thursday morning at the home of Mrs. Harry Schu- macher plans were laid for the annual picnic to be held at Lola Valley Park on June 4th at 6:00 p. in.

Telephone employees will continue to receive: —extra payments for overtime, Sunday, holiday, evening and night duty. —the usual merit and length -of -service wage increases. —six holidays with pay; vacations with pay up to three weeks, depending on length of service; as well as sickness and death payments and pensions— all paid for in full by the company. —steady work, not subject to seasonal layoffs. Considering these other advantages, the settlement—which in itself amounts to more than 10 cents an hour—compares favorably with settlements recently made in some outside industries. These telephone wage increases have been granted even though _ the adjustments in outside industry will not be reflected for sometime in the gen- eral wage levels of most Michigan communities. But what is even more important,is that some 19,000 Michigan Bell employees again are receiving regular pay checks. J21 -1 1111L The settlement, together with wage adjustments for other employees, will add more than $5,500,000 a year to Michigan Bell's costs of providing service. For many months, the company's earnings for investors have been on a downward trend. In view of these new wage increases and other rising costs, rate increases must be requested of the Michigan Public Service Commission to keep the company financially sound so as to attract the newcapital needed for expansion and im- provement. TO THE PUBLIC The settlement means that the public again has normal telephone service and Mich- gan Bell's million -dollar -a -week payroll again is contributing to the economic life of Michigan communities. It will be remembered that the original union demands would have amounted to $26,000,000 a year. The wage adjustments agreed on, which are geared to local con- ditions in Michigan, will cost about one-fourth that amount. This will mean tele- phone rates for Michigan customers considerably lower than would be necessary if the original demands had been met. Last but not least, the settlement means that Michigan Bell can get on with the big job of providing telephones for the thousands of folks who are waiting, and mak- ing telephone service better and better for everyone.

When he could not keep up with his playmates in the active games he would stay near by and train himself to listen sharply to all the sounds about him. He learned the names and songs of the birds, and of all the wild animals in the forest. He knew if an animal's cry was one of joy or pain. He loved the soft sound of gentle winds in the trees, and he liked the heavy, hard sounds that came with the storms. When he was older, his sense of hearing was so keen that he became very helpful to his people in warning them when their enemy, the white man, was approaching. Sequoya was a wonderful story teller. Another name given him was that of "Teller-af-Tales:" He loved the stories that had been handed down by the wise men.

As a result of Sequoya's efforts the eastern and western Chero- kees were united. It is said that Sequoya died in Mexico in August, 1843. He had gone to Mexico to look for a group of Cherokees who had gone there many years ago. On the Tennessee -North Car- olina . Boundary there is a tall mountain which produly bears the name of Sequoyah. In Georgia there is -a marker over the place where . the house stood which held the first Indian press. "In Oklahoma there is a county named for the Brave Cherokee. In ` the . Capitol at Washington there is a statute of Sequoyah, and on the doors of the annex .of the Congressional Library are representations in bas-relief of those who have given to the world written languages, the alp- habet makers. Among them is Sequoya. In California are per- haps the oldest trees in the world. These kings of the forest, too, bear the name of Sequoya.
