Furor Caused B
City o Detroit
Much furor has been caused in

it was stated that the Detroit City
Planning Commission had sub-
mitted a plan to annex four areas
with a total of 82 square miles
and a population of 465,000 per-
sons in Wayne County.
Included in the proposed an-
nexation was one area east of
Middlebelt Road and north of
Warren avenue which was to be
taken into the city of Detroit
along with the remainder of Red-
ford Township.
The fourth proposal would set

merchants Hit By
Personal Property
Tax in Livonia
Those screams of anguish, cries
of pain and surprise, the keys
turning in the locks are the 150
or 200 merchants in Livonia
Township and their various re-
sponses to the Personal Property
Tax.
This past week, men from the
Wayne County Bureau of Taxa-
tion were making the rounds in
Livonia assessing all merchants,
business and industry in the town-
ship. It is estimated that better
than 150 will be hit by this legal
but new form of tax in Livonia.
Detroit has had a Personal
Property Tax for many years as
well as most of the surrounding
Townships and Cities and Liv-
onia is one of the last in Wayne
County to put this tax into effect.
The assessed valuations placed on
the various establishments are
not final and final action will be
taken by the Board of Review.
According to the County offi-
cials, those persons who will have
to pay this tax for the first time
are very fortunate that they have
not had to pay it for the past
many years. It has been legal for
over, fifty years in the state of
Michigan.
This past week Ralph Gumtow
and Dave Folsom moved into
first place in the Men's Doubles
Tournament at the Livonia alleys
with a 1411.
Ralph shot 212-243-230 for 685
and Dave had 180-217-212 for 609
and with their 117 pin spot moved
into first position. Thursday night
Stan Olesko and Bert Nort moved
into second spot with 1391. They
had 1361 actual pins with Olesko
rolling 201-234-224 and Nort
bowled 702 on games of 2654234-

dividual series bowled thus far

Ault -Roberts
Wedding Feld
At Monroe
Laura Ann Ault, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Ault of 20117
Mayfield avenue, was married to
Thomas Roberts of Monroe at 11
a. in. Saturday, June 7th at St.
Mary's Church, Monroe.
The bride's gown was made of
white marquisette with long
sleeves, sweetheart neck with
ruching, stiff bodice and a very
plain skirt with a peplin starting
at the waist to form the train.
She wore a threequarter length
veil with Juliette cap.
Her bouquet was roses and
lilies of the valley and her two at-
tendents were Delores Ault, cou-
sin of the bride, and Jean Roberts,
sister of the groom. The grooms
brother, John Roberts, was best
man.
A reception followed at the
home of the bride from 5 to 9 p.m.
for about one hundred and fifty
invited guests.
Married Students at MSC
Say They'd Do It Again
They'd do it again even know-
ing what they know now, the
married students at Michigan
State college indicated in a sur-
vey recently conducted by Prof.
Judson T. Landis, of the depart-
ment of effective living at the
college.
Asked the direct question,
"Would you do it all over again,
knowing what you know now?",
77 percent of the students or their
wives gave an emphatic "YES!"
That makes the score something
like three to one in favor of mar-
riage, even under the hardships
imposed by living in trailer
camps, temporary barracks,
apartments, and similar close
quarters.
The results reveal that the
wives would be a little more will-
ing to repeat their marriages if
they had a chance to go back in
time. For 83 percent of the wives
said they would marry again,
while only 71 percent of the men
gave like approval.
But Professor Landis in analyz-
ing the answers says he sees a
note of chivalry as the chief cause
of the lower percentage among
the men. Replies to other queries
indicate the men are just as hap-
pily married as the women, but
many of the men feel they haven't
been able to support the girls as
they should. Given the chance to
go back, they would wait until
college days were over before
marrying—and they'd marry the
same girl, too.
Professor Landis is using the
results of this survey in his lec-
tures on marriage to Basic college
students in the effective living
course. His students thus receive
the benefit of first-hand know-
ledge from those who already
have taken the step toward es-
tablishing home and family.
Appropriate $3,000 for
Traveling Library
Upon the recommendation of
the Board of County Auditors and
of Walter H. Kaiser, county li-
brarian, the Wayne County Board
of Supervisors has approved an
additional appropriation of $3,000
for the purchase of more books
for the new Traveling 'branch of
the Wayne County Library.
The traveling library which
started service the end of March,
is meeting a real need and accord-
ing to Kaiser, the demand for
books is increasing beyond expec-
tations. "After four weeks of op-
erating we knew our book supply
was inadequate," he stated.
Concerning the additional ap-
propriation, the Board of County
Auditors stated: . it is the
recommendation of this Board
that said request be concurred in
so that this outstanding service
can be supplied to the children
and adults of the unincorporated
areas of the County, which for-
merly were denied this service."
Miss Katherine Ashley, libra-
rian in charge of this new service,
said "It has become necessary to
limit children to one book where-
as the average child requires four
books for a two-week period. The
mobile library is on a two-week
schedule and returns to each loca-
tion bi-weekly.
For further information about
the Traveling Branch, phone

Newburg School News
Newburg students are really
breaking the Penmanship record
this year. The following have been"
the proud winners of Zaner-Blos-
er Certificates since the last
week's news: Marilyn Birdsall,
Gail Parrish, Beverly Bartel,
Claire Patton, Hilda Berndroth,
Carol Clement, June Szokola,

cates won this term of school.
Plans have been made for a
joint field day meet for Livonia
and Newburg Junior Highs at
the park. A ball game will be
played and track and field meet
held on June 11th.
Miss Breningstall took pictures
of the four separate home room
groups to be put in the Year Book
which will contain also the names
of students holding various offices
this year, the teachers' names,
the school song and plays given
this year together with the win-
ners of Zander-Bloser Penman-
ship Certificates.
The students having served on
the Girls' Service Squad, Boys'
Safety Patrol and Student Coun-
cil walked over to the Roller Rink
on Plymouth road for an after-
noon of skating Tuesday after-
noon, June 3. The students were
gone from twelve -thirty until
three -thirty. Miss Dorothy Wolfe
was their chaperone. Although
many tumbles were reported, a
good time was enjoyed by all.
This is Newburg Junior High
signing off for another year of
school and ready to begin their
vacation when another Livonian
is printed.
How'd It Start?
Corner Conversation?
"Hiya Doc?"
Hiya Charlie?" `'Say Charlie, I
have been wanting to see you
to ask you another question about
our fire department."
"Go ahead Doc, shoot, I'll an-
swer it if I -can."
"What I wanted to ask you was,
why won't our fire department go
to a fire down south of Joy road
or over by Plymouth or some-
place like that ... do they have
certain boundries that they have
to stay within?"
"I'll say they have Doc, and
unfortunately it makes some peo-
ple pretty mad because they dont
understand the reason ...you see
.. , our fire department only an-
swers calls in our own township
unless they are asked to come to
a fire outside their township by
another fire chief or city official
who would be responsible for
paying a bill. that would later be
sent them for the run . the
main reason for "staying in our
-own backyard" is that supposin'
they event down into Nankin
Township because some lady call-
ed and said her house was on fire
and while they were down there
your -office caught on fire ... you
would not like it very much if
they were not around to make the

call to YOUR office fire . and
too, the insurance company would
likely want to know what we
were doing out of our territory.
Of course in our case in Livonia
here, our department will make
runs any place in the township
from Eckles road on the west to
Inkster road on the east and from
Joy road. on the south to Six Mile
road on the north . there is
quite a heavily populated area
between SixMile road and Eight
:Mile road that is in our area but
we call Redford to make those
runs because they are nearer by
two or three miles than we are
and can make the run quicker
and likely save a home whereas if
we had to make the run we miht
get there too late ... those folks
up there like that kind of co-
operation between departments . .
and another thing Doc ... the rea-
sons I have given you are the
same ones that cover this situa-
tion that has come up lately about
pumping out :basements for some
of the residents down in the
southeast section ... you see, the
pumper should not be out of fire
service down there when there
is the possibility of someone need-
ing the department for a fire ...
that truck is to put out fires, not
to be used to pump out basements
they have done it a couple of
times but cant do it any more
and they are sorry to have to tell
the folks that, but thats how it
is . . . does that answer your
question Doc? "Yep, that does it
Charlie . . gotta go home to
lunch now . see you later."
"O.K. Doc, so long ... see ya in
church."
HOROSCOPE
Being born between May 20th
and June 19th "Gemini" is your
sign and Mercury your ruling
star. You will be versatile,
changeable, contradictory, pos-
sessed of two natures, restless,
nervous, and extremist. Active
mind, quick to grasp an advant-
age, can see both sides of a ques-
tion, and able to adopt yourself
to any situation with ease and
tact. Unselfish, s'21f-sacrificing,
but seldom undestood. Sociable,
but few friends rather than many.
April, and August are your
lucky months and Friday your
fortunate day.
You will be most friendly with
Aquarius and Libra people, but
your true mate was born under
Sagittarius. The men are bright,
restless, eager, mercurial, love
money and social position. The
women are natural home makers,
affectionate, sympathetic, tender
and demonstrative. Success usual-
ly comes late in life. Business par-
tnership with Taurus or Cancer
are favorable.
August and December are your
most promising months and Fri-
day your lucky day.
The flower is the Mayflower,
or trailing arbutus, and the talis-
manic gem (May) the Emerald.
The predominating characteristics
are, when born on Monday
Restlessness. Tuesday — Versa-
tility. Wednesday—Unmindful of
own best interests. Thursday—In-
constancy. Friday — Honest and
successful. Saturday — Thought-
less. Sunday
We protect wild life — How
about child life?

Furor Caused by
City of Detroit
To Annex Livonia
(Continued from page 1)
was the rest of Livonia Township
west of Middlebelt road -and north
of Plymouth road, with a popula-
tion capacity of 120,000 and an
area of 25 square miles.
The plan was drafted by
Ladislas Segoe, professional con-
cuitant for the City Planning
Commission, and Mrs. Astrid
Monson, social, economist.
For the benefit of local residents
it was pointed out by Supervisor
Jesse Ziegler that these areas can
not be annxed without a vote of
the people in Livonia on whether
or not they want to be annexed,
and a vote of the people of De-
troit on whether or not they want
to annex this section of Livonia
Township.
Before a referendum is he's_ in
Livonia the voters in ed" -rd
Township must vote first in t'i-t,
they are adjacent to Detroit at
the present time. Mr. Ziegler also
stated that at the present time
"Satellite" cities can not be set
up without state legislation, which
cannot take place at least until
next year. Mr. Ziegler expressed
the opinion that "people in Liv-
onia Township are unduly alarm-
ed at this proposal by the City of
Detroit."
Almost four times as many
veterans are receiving Veterans
Administration out-patient treat-
ment now as a year agog making

able for the more seriously ill
veterans.

affords opportunity for expert

Trinity Hall, at a short distance
from the main building, envelop-
ed in surroundings of natural
beauty, provides residence for lay
students.
Those students who in their
high school years have followed
courses which would enable them
to begin college work upon
graduation, and whose records
show ability to do college work,
are invited to write for further
information to: The Dean, Ma-
donna College, Schoolcraft and
Newburg roads, Plymouth, Mich-

The college is conducted by the
Felician Sisters of Detroit pro-
vince, who teach in 34 elementary
and nine high schools in Michigan,
and conduct their own academy
for girls in Detroit. Besides teach-
ing in the Michigan schools they
staff seven schools in the states
of Indiana and Ohio. For ten years
they have conducted a junior col-
lege which has been expanded to
a senior college.
Board Hears
Oporto Group
The Township Board met for
their regularly scheduled monthly
meeting this past Monday at the
Town Hall.
Representatives from Oporto
street were out to register com-
plaints with the Board concern-
ing zoning conditions in their
community. The group, with Far-
rand Perry as spokeman, came
before the Board to get some as-
surance that the Township and the
Zoning Board would not allow
accessory buildings to be con-
structed in Livonia. They com-
plained that many small buildings
were put up, and then nothing
further was done to develop the
property and this was an eye
sore to the Township and espe-
cially„ certain areas.
The Board stated that they
would advise the Building In-
spector that no building permits
would be issued for any buildings
smaller than a garage henceforth
and permits for small out build-
ings would only be issued after
the home had been completed.
Although no official action was
taken by the Board at this meet-
ing, the problem of fire protection
was brought up in that the Red-
ford Fire station on Five Mile
road had been sold and there was
a possibility that the Redford
Fire Department would be cen-
tralized.
This move by Redford if made
would make it necessary for Liv-
onia to find some other means
of fire protection in the north-
east section of the Township.
Al Novik was given a three
months permit to operate a taxi-
cab in Livonia from his place of
business on Five Mile road. Mr.
Novik was also given the exclu-
sive right to operate under the
name of Veterans Taxi in the
Township.

The Board stated that they would
grant permission upon receipt of
written approval of the neighbors
in the vicinity. Lester Gunter,
28500 Joy road was granted a
temporary permit to establish a
vegetable stand at his home.
The Church of God was also
given permission to build a $50,-
000 church at the northwest
corner of Plymouth and Newburg
roads upon the presentation of
building plans. Several objections
were made by persons living in
the Newburg -Plymouth road sec-
tion to the temporary stand on the
southwest corner. They stated
that traffic at the stopping at the
stand made a very dangerous con-
dition. The Building Inspector
was notified to make a check of
this condition.
John Lee, 13274 Farmington
road was issued a temporary per-
mit for a vegetable stand. Ben
Hirsh, Scholcraft road, applied
for kennel license. He was notified
to get approval from the neigh-
bors. Stanley Rudnicki was given

was taken from the till in each
of the places as well as a few
other miscellaneous items.
At Ross Drugs, the burglar
