Notification cards will be mailed to each of the more than 100 prospective blood donors who have registered to volunteer a pint of -blood for their country.- The ountry.The blood donor process, out- lined by Mrs. Jesse Ziegler, chair- man of the local committee, is simple and painless. Red Cross nurses and doctors test the vol- unteer donor's blood pressure and haemoglobin content, give him a glass of orange juice, and draw a .pint of blood through a tube into a container while the donor lies on a cot. Each volun- teer will be given a lunch of hot soup, sandwiches, cookies and tea in the mobile kitchen follow- ing the donation. The . blood, stored in pint con- tainers, is shipped immediately to Indianapolis under refrigera- tion and there reduced to a plas- ma form for simple storage and transportation. It is planned that unit containers of plasma soon will become a part of the stand- ard pack equipment of every soldier to be- carried with him during, combat duty for emer- gency needs.

Smith Speaks At Rosedale Banquet About 80 members of the Rose- daie Gardens' Parent-Teacher as- sociation heard an interesting discussion of the problem of in- flation by George A. Smith, sup- erintendent of Plymouth schools, at a Founders' day banquet in the Rosedale Gardens Civic as- sociation's clubhouse last Wed- nesday evening. "If we .buy less commodities for consumption during the war and invest the difference in de- fense savings bonds which yield approximately three per cent, we can prevent three undesirable situations from arising: Unrea- sonably high prices, unemploy- ment after the present war and a break in the price level which causes depression and economic disaster," declared Supt. Smith. A feature of the Founders' day program, of which Mrs. A. C. Burton was chairman, was a candle - lighting ceremony in which each of the club's past - presidents participated honoring the 15th local and 45th national anniversaries. Past officers pres- ent were Mrs. Burton, Mrs. Henry Adams, Robert Porteous4, Ray Schofield, Mrs. Paul Harsha, Mrs. Harold Crisp, Mrs. Ralph Baker and Mrs. Henry Bock, the pres- ent president. Assisting "chairmen included Mrs. B. E. French, .banquet ar- rangements;' Mrs. Ralph Mc- Dowell, decorations and Mrs. J. R. Murray, ticket sales. The next meeting of the Rosedale P.T.A. will be Wednesday, March 4 at the Rosedale Gardens school for the annual election of officers. 0 Wolfe Commends Work Of Briggs School in Red Cross Drive Special distinction was given to Briggs school last week by Drive Chairman Harry S. Wolfe for its contribution to the Red Cross War Relief drive. Briggs school is located at the corner of Six Mile and Newburg roads and has but 25 children attend- ing. These 25 students sold tic- kets to a party which netted $20.06 for the Red Cross. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Canfield of Hubbard road were pleasantly surprised when friends from De- troit dropped in to help them celebrate -lieir wedding anni- versary.

School Offers Defense Courses Night Program Open To Defense Workers Livonia workers in defense in- dustries will have an opportunity to gain additional training in de- fense courses now :being offered through the federal government in a night school program at the Plymouth high school. A new course has been added to train women inspectors for defense plants. Courses are now offered in shop mathematics, micrometer reading and blueprint reading. A group of 50 employes of the Phoenix plant of the Ford Motor company is now in class attend- ance at night school, the students paying their own expenses until the project is approved by the federal government as a part of the night school defense program. The defense board which co- operates with the board of ed- ucation in planning defense courses is comprised of James Gallimore, superintendent of the Wilcox and Newburg plants of the Ford Motor company; C. H. Rauch, superintendent of the service department of the Daisy Manufacturing company; Lloyd Lambert, an employe of the Kelsey -Hayes machine gun plant representing the CIO, and Clifton Tillotson, an employe of the Wall -Wire Products company, repre- senting the AFL. This advisory board meets once a month with the superin- tendent of Plymouth schools to consider additions and changes in the set-up of federal courses in night school.

This remarkable record, a gain of 35.9 per cent during the past year, is largely due to the efforts of N. C. Knickerbocker, executive vice-president of the Farmington State bank, to im- prove the bank's services. The next closest in :business gain during 1941 was the Wabeek State bank of Detroit with a rec- ord of 33.9 per cent. The latest innovation at the Farmington State bank is the in- troduction of the Checkm aster plan in which more than 100 Li- vonia residents have joined.

Why don't you get on the beam, Casey? We wonder why Elaine M. likes to go ice skating at New- burg instead of Rouge, don't you? We wonder why Clarence C. likes to have his gas line plug up at certain times. Could it be a couple of girls, Casey? We wonder what C. Tracke would do if all the cowboys were drafted. Lately Betty Jo C. likes to go to church. Could it be because of a certain Fred? Oh say, Morgan, Glenn S. left. Do you happen, by any chance, to miss him? Wonder why Ray and Shorty like the South so well. Who is it Jackie, Carl H. or Doug L. or could it be both? Why is it D. Skoglund does a lot of day -dreaming in a certain class.

Putting FIRST things FIRST .. . 7�C �r NORMALLY, Michigan Bell installs new equipment to care for a number of years of growth. The shortage of materials needed for war has changed that. Now, expansion must be planned to meet short-term requirements. As an example, when installing tele- phone cable to serve an area of 80 square blocks, we ordinarily would plan ahead for a 10 -year increase in the num- ber of homes, and would use a cable containing 1800 pairs of wires. That would be long -run economy. But today, for such an area, the Company installs a smaller cable, containing perhaps 400 pairs of wires. At a conservative estimate, the saving of copper in both exchange and toll cable effected by Michigan Bell's short - period engineering policy will amount to 1,500,000 pounds in 1942 In spite of material shortages that make it increasingly difficult to satisfy all civilian requests as promptly as in the past, we are confidently determined that every war need will be met.
