Res- idents may register from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at either of the Rose- dale Gardens or Elm schools. Superintendent Garritt Kramer is taking registrations at Rose- dale and Principal Kenneth Wil- cox is in charge at Elm. The special election has been called by the board upon a peti- tion asking for an adequate means of transporting children to and from school. The question to be voted upon is: "Shall the board of education in Livonia school district No. 6, Livonia township, be authorized to provide adequate facilities for the transportation within such district for pupils to and from their homes.." Residents of the district signed the petition and submitted it to the board at their December meeting. Immediate action on the matter has been spurred on because of inclement weather conditions and also because of .the fact that some children in the district have to walk to and from school as far as two and one-half miles. "It is surprising how few res- idents of the district have regis- tered," William J. Trepagnier, President of the board of educa- tion, declared following the first registration period Saturday. "We are giving everyone ample op- portunity to register by having two days for it, he added, "and I can assure .you that there will be no additional registration per- iod before the special election. No one will be permitted to vote unless he is properly registered. Those who registered for the an - (Continued on page 5) Varipapa Bowls Here! ANDY VARIPAPA Trick Shot .Ace 1n Livonia Jan. 17 Some great bowlers have vis- ited this part of the country, but perhaps the greatest of all, Andy Varipapa, is scheduled to make a return performance at the Li- vonia Recreation Saturday after- noon and evening, January 17. He will put on a show unpar- alleled in the ten -pin sport in addition to a period of free in- struction in the afternoon. Vari- papa not only is a remarkable average bowler but he is to bowling what Charley Peterson is to billiards, Joe Kirkwood to golf. He is a trick shot bowler and follows his matches with fancy shot exhibitions. No bowler can claim the rec- ord of this Italian over a period of years and Varipapa, a Brook- lyn, N. Y., resident has been bowling for more than a quarter of a century. He is 42 .years old and still going strong. This Varipapa possesses such skill and showmanship that he has been snapped up by motion picture producers and already (Continued on page 5) LIVONIA TOWNSHIP'S ONLY iFFICIAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Entered at the an Plymouth, g , Michi G�1GAN""'p� �`\.�,,;,y/F�� Subscription price, $1.00 per year.

As willingly as they pledged themselves to service, the Livonia Red Cross asks you to con- tribute to its annual mem- bership drive and war relief campaign which starts today (Wednes- day). - Sometime between to- day and next Saturday, January 17, a volunteer worker of the Red Cross will call at your home to solicit your membership in the new branch which was organized in Livonia last Saturday after- noon. Since there is a population of nearly 9,000 in Livonia and, approximately 2,500 families, the goal has been set at $3,000. In the words of Supervisor Jesse Zieg- ler: "Three thousand dollars is the minimum. If Livonia residents contribute as wholeheartedly to this campaign as they have for other such worthy undertakings, we will go way over the top and $3,000 will be just a starter. "We'll show Wayne county that Livonia township is really on the man and that we are doing as much and even more _ for our boys in service than are other communities our size." Saturday afternoon represen- tatives of each of five Red Cross units in Livonia township were called to the township hall for the organization meeting of a Livonia branch' Mrs. Gertrude Beitier, director of branch cam- paigns, of Detroit, appeared be- fore the group and explained the war relief campaign which is be- ing carried on all over the coun- ty at the present time. She also assisted in the organization of the central branch for Livonia.

Administration of the depart- ment is in the hands of the new fire commission appointed by the Livonia township board at its' last meeting on December 26. The commission, headed by Chairman R. R. Kleinert, includes A. C. Burton, R. G. Ganstrom, Charles McKinney, Township Clerk Harry Wolfe and Township Supervisor Jesse Ziegler. The first and most important ;ob the commission has to do, Commis- sioner Kleinert emphasized, is to get one vital piece of information to all the people in the Rosedale Gardens area: Know the exact location of the fire hydrant nearest yet,,. and give !hat information to the fire department when you call it.

Some Wise Words By "Ed the Nut" A false word about any friend or neighbor is a human arrow that pierces the heart. An evil thought of one, unsaid, Leaves at rest both living and dead. A bitter word spoken of an- other is sweet music to the ears of a gossiper. There are some folks who always borrow, As to limit there is no end; They live upon what they borrow And never, never lend. s Friends, here is where I stick out my neck—and probably get it broke. I say that women are the creators of trouble. If .you don't believe me, search the life of Eve, or was it a snake ... the same thing. Pardon me, women. THE NEW YEAR A new year has arrived! Let us discard that old leaf; turn over a new one; forget all old faults, malice and greed, and .above all, selfishness. Let our new leaf be for the protection of our families, our fellowmen and our freedom and our country. Let us give our all in wealth and brawn. Let us 'give and sacrifice willingly and without regret to assist Uncle Sam to break the shackles that bind the helpless nations of the right to live in peace, the right to serve their God, their country and their family. A person who is always but - Wednesday, January 7, 1942 ting in on a conversation and wants to do all the talking and disregards other's conversation is ignorant, disgusting and is not worth listening to by others.

M Fuge 6. - THE LIVONIAN - Wednesday, January 7, 1942 Andy Varipapa, who is to ap- pear at the Livonia Recreation both afternoon and evening, Sat- urday, January 17, makes the following suggestions to help you improve your bowling score: No. 1—Equipment Fundamentals of all sports are very important, and bowling is no exception. My first lesson will concern itself with the equipment used in bowling. There are two requisites, shoes and ball. In the first place, the bowler should select a ball that is suit- able to his hand. The thumb hole must fit the thumb so that the ball can be swung freely ang released just as freely. If the thumb hole is too large, then the ball will drop out of the hand too soon, or before the delivery should be made. If the thumb hole is too small, then the ball will stick to the thumb too. long, and will cause what is called a "dead" ball when it hits the pins. This ball also has a tendency to slide, not roll, as a bowling ball should. The other requisite is a pair of proper bowling shoes. A person cannot bowl correctly without a firm footing which insures the bowler smoothness in action. A good pair of bowling shoes with specially constructed soles and heels will be an aid to this end. What's more, they do not leave any mark upon the approach to the alleys. No. 2—Delivery This lesson concerns itself with the rolling of the ball. Care must be exercised in rolling the ball, because there is only one way of doing it, and it should be done correctly. The proper way is to have the thumb facing the left, and when the ball is released the thumb comes out of the hole first fol- lowed by the finger or fingers. This causes the ball to roll in a forward motion towards the left. If done properly the ball, . de- livered with proper momentum, will 'hook and roll into the pins. The trouble with most bowlers who bowl often in leagues is that they do not take enough time to study the game. Watch your motions in delivering the ball., develop a nice easy style of bowling .and a nice rolling ball and you will find it will pay you dividends in the form of many strikes and spares. No. 3—Stance Having picked out a ball that will best suit the bowler. the High Bowling Scores Posted Top scores for individual and team play during the half season ending December 31 have been posted by Clarence Hoffman, co- owner of the Livonia Recreation. Highest mark for any single game was reached by Arnold Wehner with 278, and Warren Hoffman's 719 stands best among the in- dividual three -game totals. In team play Coon Bros.' 1032 stands as high single, while Ross Drugs' 2959 remains first for the three - game scores. The Recreation's team play schedule indicates continued close competition coming un. Sundry has been assigned to the Macca- bees, and Monday's bracket in- cludes the Livonia Business Men's and St. Michael's teams. They are followed on Tuesday by the Livonia township and the Li- vonia House leagues, and tonight by both divisions of the Rose- dale Gardens Civic lea;, ue. Thurs- day pairs the Plymouth Gar- dens and Farmington leagues, Friday the Livonia Ladies and Dearborn Good Neighbors. beginner's next problem con- cerns the stance. With the ball in hand, sup- ported by both hands to equalize its weight before delivery, the bowler should stand about 14 feet back of the foul line. With the left foot poised near the middle of the approach, the player should concentrate a few moments until he is ready. When ?re is set, he raises the ball a few inches above the waistline, at the same time taking a step with the right foot, allowing the ball to swing until four steps have been completed. The ball is released with a slide. This increases the momen- tum and is much better than if fewer steps are taken. However, if the individual prefers five, that is all right too. Personally, I like four steps. The more steps taken in the delivery, the better the rhythm, and rhythm plays a very im- portant part towards perfection. But this cannot be acquired in a few days. It comes after practice. Concentration is highly nec- essary. Experiment in open play rather than in competition. After you have learned these funda- mentals thoroughly, then put there to practice. (Continued next week) Fire Apparatus (Continued from page 1) trict including section 34 and parts of sections 26, 27 and 35, as well as the territory bounded by Six Mile, Inkster, Joy, and Wayne roads. This area is serv- iced by the Livonia exchange of the Michigan Bell Telephone company, and the fire depart- ment's number will be prom- inently posted on the front cover of the telephone company's new Livonia directory: Livonia 6- 1111. The township's territory is within call also of the Plymouth, Farmington and Redford fire departments, and in case of em- ergency any citizen within the township or any one of the four fire departments may call for help from the others. Some $1,800 will be collected throughout the coming year in special assessments to insure fire control in that area covered by the department's jurisdiction. All money for its maintenance must come from regular tax funds, and a system was consid- ered and unanimously approved under which necessary prospec- tive expenditures will be passed first by the fire commission, for- warded to the township board, and upon the approval of the latter -turned over to the town- ship treasurer, who will make the actual expenditure. Working control of the depart- ment's activity, however, is en- tirely the responsibility of the commission. They must keep up a running inventory of the de- partment's equipment, make an account for the necessary re- placements, appoint the depart- ment's chief and volunteer per- sonnel, authorize and establish their wage scale, make recom- mendation to the township for increase or decrease in necessary taxes, and keep the community aware of the public responsibility incumbent in effective fire con- trol. The commission already has taken active steps toward more efficient administration. A fire station is being built by Chief Roberts as an addition to his service station, where equip- ment can be housed and kept ready for immediate use. A siren has been installed on the building to warn the commun- ity and to call out the volunteers in case of fire. The commission will meet here WHEN YOU'RE SHOPPING ... Drive in—Free.
