Other courses will be organized through out the district as needed, ac- cording to Mrs. Eunice Rhoades, Red Cross director for Livonia. It is also planned to organize the district's first aid classes for civilian defense within another week. More than 100 residents of Li- vonia township have registered for the blood donor program.

On the basis of Rosedale Gardens' population, he estimated that 800 persons should register from that subdivisison alone.

Game men of the conservation department here say the effect of the January mild spell, which was state-wide, has been to el- iminate the "long hard drag" that characterized the winter of 1940-41 in the lower peninsula and resulted in heavy deer mor- tality. Upper peninsula condi- tions are less severe this season also. As a result of the mild spell, deer -will be in better condition and will have relatively more food available in late February and March in the event of se- vere temperatures and snow 'con- ditions. onditions. Chances of deer survival are, consequently, greatly in- creased. Perhaps even more im- portant is the conservation of winter food supplies which are not readly renewable. Snow gauge readings for the week ending January 24 showed snow depths to be no greater than a foot, and in some places less than six inches, in both the upper and lower peninsulas.

"Use No Hooks" is the theme of efforts to conserve the dwindl- ing supply of burlap bags and cloth. Since Japan's sneak -attack in the Far East, our imports of bur- lap bags from far -away India have been reduced to a trickle. And even the small amount that is being imported, two-thirds is being taken by the government for military purposes. Farmers should conserve their burlap sacks because there is no way of telling when they will be able to get any more. All farmers know that burlap bags are essen- tial articles to have in the threshing of grain, so they are being urged 'to refrain from rip- ping their burlap sacks when opening them, to use no hooks, and to hand them in a dry, pro- tected place f©r later use. Used bags can usually be sold to the dealers from which they were received. tation.—Feltham.

Two thousand male employes already are qualifying for their pied Cross certificates. J. R. MacLachlan, manager for the company, said that more than 1,000 women employes have en- rolled for First Aid classes which will get under way early in Feb- ruary at Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Saginaw. The course will be. directed by 15 women employes who have qualified as Red Cross instructors. The 2,000 -male employes now receiving their certificates were enrolled last October. 'A new course for 1,500 to 2,000 more men also will begin early in February .with up to 100 in- structors. The Michigan Bell is one of the first Bell System companies to extend the First Aid program Jo women, the telephone man- ager said. Another course for women will begin early in March, when about 1,000 more are ex- pected to enroll, with 20 more instructors, he said. To qualify for Red Cross certificates, each employe must attend the First Aid classes for two hours a week over a 12 -week period. The class- es are held "after hours," Mon- days through Fridays, and db not interfere with the employes' re.aular duties. Red Cross First Aid training has been offered Michigan Bell men since 1923. Twenty-one years ago the Bell System estab- lished the Theodore N. Vail Memorial awards for employes performing "noteworthy public service." Many of the awards have been made to employes who applied life-saving measures, learned in their First Aid train- ing courses, to accident victims.

Most homes in those days used electricity chiefly for lighting. But today a "light bill" covers a mul- titude of home appliances! Today your "light bill" might represent the services of dozens of electrical household aids: electric refrigeration, washing, ironing, vacuum cleaning, radio, toaster, percolator, food mixer, clocks, electric shaver. In many homes it also includes electric cooking, dishwashing, furnace fan or oil burner, attic fan, kitchen fan, heating Pad, sewing machine, teakettle, waffle iron, sunlamp, bathroom heater, etc. —as many as fifty electrical servants. Tomorrow's uses of electricity are bounded only by the limits of man's ingenuity. Mean- while we are devoting all -our efforts to furnish- ing better electric service at lower cost. The average price per kilowatthour paid by our average residence customer today is 46 per cent less than in 1921. Thousands of improvements, big and little, developed over a period of years, have made it possible to reduce our residence rate voluntarily five times in the last 20 years. By thinking up new and better ways of doing things at lower cost, and passing these savings on to the customer, we have benefited both the customer and ourselves. This is the way of prog- ress.
