In Redford Fire
At 10:55 p. in. last Saturday
flight the Livonia Fire Depart-
ment, responded to an alarm at
the home of John A. Burgess,
9535 Wayne road, where a fire
had broken out in the basement
of a one story frame dwelling.
Due to no fire hydrant in the
vicinity the department had to
rely on the water carried in the
booster tank. The firemen were
iforced to use their smoke masks
o gain entrance to the basement
because of the heavy smoke pour-
ingr out of all the lower basement
windows and doors.
Extinguishing the flames ahead
of them as they forced their way
into the basement, firemen had
the fire knocked down in a very
few minutes confining the fire to
the basement area. Chief Calvin
Roberts said the fire had likely
started from an over -filled metal
container holding ashes which

Willard Smith of the Smith and
Company, manufacturers of fer-
tilizers, told the Rotary Club this
past Monday of the problems con-
fronting. all the fertilizer manu-
factures in the country today.
Mr. Smith was secured by the
program chairman for the day,
Raymond Grimm, who introduced
Mr. Smith to the members of the
organization, guests and visiting
Rotarians.
One of the first problems that
Mr. Smith brought out was the
allocation of the three major ele-
ments used to manufacture fe-
tilizer by the Government. "These
controls," he stated "were put on
at the outbreak of the war and
our government has seen fit to
maintain rigid controls even after
the war has been ended almost
two years."
In continuing he pointed out
that many, many tons of nitrogen
are being sent to the European

Smith also made the statement
that synthetic nitrogen plants are
being developed in the United
States which should go a long way
to alleviate the shortage. "The
problem here," Smith said, "is
the manufacturing of the equip-
ment necessary to produce syn-
thetic nitrogen.
"Phosphates are very important,

where the soil is deficient." Mr.

Potash is the third major ele-

the wear, many tons were shipped

said, "these countries can not
produce enough for themselves."
In conclusion Mr. - Smith told
how the farmers of 'today ;are

what they used in 1939 and 1940.
Newt " year,, ..about .the same
amount of fertilizer: has been -
promised with a possible small
increase. However, the next few
years should find more and more
of the minor elements being used

Opening Of
Northville
The Northville Downs night
harness race meeting, which is
to continue through Sept. 13, was
launched on a record-breaking
scale Monday evening when a
crowd of 9,247 spectators, biggest
opening night crowd in the track's
four-year history, saw the in-
augural eight -race program.
Opening night records were
shattered in almost every depart-
ment of operations. The biggest
mark to fall was the pari-mutuel
betting total. On Monday the fans
wagered $157,395, an increase of
more than 69 per cent over the
1946 opening night figure of $93,-
000. Every winning horse was a
Michigan bred and Michigan
owned horse with one exception.
The new E. M. Smith Patented
Starting Gate made a great hit
with the tremendous throng that
crowded the half -mile plant al-
most to capacity. The mechanical
starting device. with Paul Wright
of Camden, Ohio, in charge as
Chief Starter, sent the race fields
on their way in the best order
Northville has ever known.
The big feature of the opening
night's card was the Inaugural
Pace, an $1,800 stake race which
drew 19 entrants and was con-
tested in two divisions at a mile
and one -sixteenth each. The first
division was won by Miss Bert
Abbe, an old favorite at the
Northville track, in 2:21 2-5, while

the second half of the race went
to Grattan Forbes in 2.19.Grat-
tan Forbes paid the longest price
of the night, a return of $70.60 to
win, $21.20 to place, and $13 to
show.
Archie Niles, veteran Northville
trainer -driver, got away to a fast
start in his bid for top honors
among the reinsmen at this 48 -
night meeting. Archie had four
mounts on the opening night's
card and won with two of them—
Dan Patch Scott and Lee Morgan
—while finishing third with Lee
Morgan in a "comeback" race.
The Inaugural Pace launched a
great series of stake races which
will be staged at Northville this
meeting. The Plymouth Trot on
Thursday, July 24, was the second
in the series, while next week
the Windsor Pace on Tuesday,
July. 29, and the Pontiac Trot on
Thursday, July 31, will highlight
the racing.
Elton R. Eaton of Plymouth,
tate representative from this
district, officiated in presenting
the Inaugural Pace Trophy to
Miss Bert Abbe's driver, Carl
Fackler on Opening Night. Pro-
minent officials of other cities,
after the Northville s t a k e s
have been named, will be similar-
ly honored at future events.
Many of the biggest name
horses and drivers of the country
are scheduled to arrive at North-
ville next weekend, following the
closing of the Maywood Park
meeting in Chicago on July 26,
with the result that the flood-
lighted track here will be the
harness race capital of the middle
west for the next seven weeks.
More than 400 applications for
stable, space had to be rejected
for this meeting, but the capacity
supply of 360 horses on the
grounds represents the highest
quality of racing stock in North-
ville history.
The Northville Downs races
start. at 8:30 p. in. each night
except Saturday when the post -
time is 8:15.

was in close proximity to kindl-
ing on the floor. Damage as yet
has not been determined.
The Livonia Fire Department
was called at 1:2)9 p. in. Tuesday
afternoon by the Redford Fire
Department to assist in extin-
guishing a fire in the Zimmer
Boat and Trailer Co., 12750 Ber-
wyne avenue, Redford Township.
Prompt action by the employees
and members of both fire depart-
ments saved the plant from des-
truction. The fire was confined to
paint spray room where combu-
tible mater; --i- were stored.
It was said that a spark from
a broken electric light bulb was
the cause of the fire.
Four large trailers in the paint
shop were destroyed but approxi-
mately 50 others in the yards were
moved out of danger.
The Redford Fire Depaictment
is to be complmented in making
such a fine stop on a fire of such
hazardous proportions.
The responding by the Livonia
Fire Department typifies the fine
community spirit between sur-
rounding fire departments in
Wayne County.

AMERICA'S AIR PO.._..
on -AIR FORCE DAY, AUGUST IST }
No one today questions the fact that the whole future of the
United States may rest in the very clouds over your head. And
the new, reorganized Air Forces give thousands of eligible young
men an opportunity to take an active part in building America's
air power ... on the ground as well as in the sky.
You may, for example, enlist in the Air Forces for three
years. If you have a specialty which will qualify you, you may
also be able to enlist in a grade at higher pay.
If you have had Air Forces experience, you may join the Air
Reserve and continue your military aviation traming outside of
business hours.
Or, you may join the Air National Guard and perhaps become
eligible for advanced technical training at, special Air National
Guard schools.
On Air Force Day, make a point of finding out everything
about your Air Forces — especially the new Aviation Career Plan
described below. Full details can be obtained at your U. S. Army
Recruiting Station.
NOW—THE WORLD'S GREATEST OPPORTUNITY
FOR A CAREER IN AVIATION
Today the Army Air Forces offer high school graduates an
unprecedented opportunity to get the finest aviation schooling
on earth —and select your school or course before you enlist.
The AAF Career Plan is unlike anything ever offered before.
It permits selected high school graduates to apply and qualify
for AAF specialized courses of their own choice. Simply go to
your U. S. Army Recruiting Station, advise the Recruiting Officer -
the kind of aviation training you want and he will provide you
with an application blank and a complete list of available courses.
When you are selected to attend the course of your choice,
you enlist in the Army Air Foroes for 3, 4 or 5 years. After your
basic training period you are guaranteed the education you have
selected to make you a -specialist in the type of work you want.
Get a list of all the schools and courses open to you under
the AAF Aviation Career Plan at your U. S. Army Recruiting
Station.
