One air raid warden training 'class will start Wednesday (to- night) at the Livonia Center school from 7:30 to 9:30 o'clock. This class is open to residents of the area bounded by Six Mile road and the railroad and Inkster to Haggerty roads. Another class will meet Friday evening, March 20, at the Pierson school, from 7:30 to 9:30 o'clock, for residents .betwen Six and Eight Mile roads from Inkster to Haggerty roads. The first air warden class in the township was organized at the Rosedale Civic clubhouse last Monday evening for residents of that district. Coordinator Bamsey, reporting on civilian defense organization throughout the township, declar- ed that Livonia will be divided into sectors and subdivided into posts. Sector warden chiefs are now recruiting volunteer assis- tants to organize 12 wardens for each post to serve in three shifts. It is planned to organize 15 air raid wardens for each group of 500 residents. , Volunteer air raid wardens will canvass homes in their districts soon to take a census of residents in the town- ship for civilian defense head- quarters. Registration instructions for civilian defense volunteers were distributed from house to house by the local defense committee assisted by the Livonia Boy Scouts this week. More volun- teer workers are needed for air raid warden duty and for auxil- iary fire and policemen. Register at the Livonia Center and Pier- son schools on the evenings an- nounced for air raid warden classes. Fire Damages Home in Livonia $3,000 Blaze Starts From Short Circuit Fire severely damaged the home of Mr, and Mrs. James W. Randall at 32320 Myrna avenue in Livonia township last Tues- day morning. Fire started in the kitchen from a short-circuit in the refrigerator motor about 8:30 in the moning, only an hour after the couple left the house. The Livonia volunteer firemen had to force their way into the house. Quick action by the Livonia fire department prevented the flames from spreading beyond the kitchen, but smoke caused heavy damage throughout the house. An electric range, inlaid linoleum and wood flooring were burned in the kitchen and the house will have to be re -decorat- ed throughout and all furniture re -finished. Damage was estimat- ed at $3,000. Speaker Discusses War -Time Style Trends Members of the Rosedale Gar- dens Woman's club enjoyed an interesting and timely discuss- ion of "Fashion Trends of the Season," by Miss Peck of the J. L. Hudson company of Detroit at a meeting Thursday evening. Two models accompanied the speaker to demonstrate simple but effective ways of changing suits from casual to dressy wear. The speaker emphasized the importance of careful clothes' selection during the war -time emergency. She advised club women to reduce their clothing budgets to a minimum of a few good .quality articles of apparel, designed to last for five or six years. "Avoid extremes in dress Styles so you will not tire of your (Continued on Page 6) LIVONIA TOWNSHIP'S ONLY WFICIAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER D 1 6NN p Entered at the Plymouth, Michigan tet;; QFC Subscription price, $1.00 per year.

The postmaster ex- plained the present rural mail service from the Plymouth post - office and discussed the possi- bilities of house to house service in Rosedale Gardens. The association passed a resol- ution of commendation for the good mail service in Rosedale Gardens since-.. the establishment of the new rural route No. 5 which now serves the subdivis- ion. The postmaster stated that house to house service may be obtained only if Rosedale Gar- dens can obtain a sub -station postoffice for the sale of stamps, money orders and other postal services. The subdivision would only receive one delivery a day with house to house service. The chief advantage appears to be one of appearance in abolishing mail boxes along the subdivision streets in favor of drop boxes in each house. Fred Van Devender was ap- pointed chairman of a transpor- tation committee to establish a clearing house -for motorists and passengers between Rosedale Gardens and Detroit. The meas- ure is advocated to conserve automobiles and tires. The com- mittee plans to make a survey of available automobile trans- portation to accommodate extra passengers at rush work hours.

Their action followed the re- port of a letter from the U. S. postal department at Washington which stated that it is believed a majority of the township resi- dents are satisfied with the pres- ent service. The taxpayers' asso- ciation seeks to obtain an ex- pression from the majority of citizens by the petition now be- ing circulated. The signed peti- tions will be filed with Repre- sentative George A. Dondero to submit to authorities of the pos- tal department in Washington. Postmaster Norman Lee of Farmington discussed the situa- tion and answered citizens' ques- tions at Wednesday's meeting which was attended by more than 60 residents. The postal system is operated today as it was when the town- ship population was only 3,000 and the growth of the township has resulted in an acute postal problem during the last few months. Township mail is serv- ed from 10 different mail routes and is delivered by six different postoffices. Roy Davis, president of the taxpayers' association, urges township residents to sign the petitions immediately to in- sure prompt action. Cooper Civic Club Sponsors Dance April 1 Meeting to Study Transportation The Cooper Civic club will sponsor a dance and card party at the Cooper school, Ann Ar- bor Trail and Middle Belt, Fri- day evening, March 27 at 8:00 o'clock. A four -piece orchestra will furnish music for dancing. Mrs. Howard Cline is chairman in charge of the party. The pub- lic is invited to attend. The club will hold its regular in meeting Wednesday evening, April 1. The Junior Maccabees of Livonia will pre- sent the evening's entertainment. All club members are urged to attend to discuss the transporta- tion problem. Cooper residents are seeking the extension of DSR bus service on Joy road to Middle Belt and on Middle Belt to Warren road to connect with_the Warren street car line. The DSR already oper- ates a bus on Joy road to Burt road in Rouge Park. The auto- mobile and tire situation present a serious problem to the many residents of that district who are employed in defense plants in the metropolitan Detroit area. Firemen Complete Training Course Fifteen men of the Livonia volunteer fire department com- pleted an eight weeks' training course in fire -fighting methods last week. The course, which in- cluded training for civilian de- fense fire emergencies and in- struction in fighting incendiary bombs, was directed by Captain Vernal Dorland of the Dearborn fire department.

Trenches have been dug around the property to relieve the over- flow but public agencies continue to dicker over which department is responsible to remedy the condition. The Necker family reports that last week's was the third similar experience since they moved into the house last June. The condition has been reported several times, they claim, with no action f r o in any public agency. There are no ditches or culverts along the highway and a more adequate drainage sys- tem is needed. Necker was forced to retire last .year because of ill health and he failed to receive a DSR pension because he was three years short of the required 20 years' senior- ity. His only income is derived from his daughter's salary, ped- dling eggs among friends and $50 a month from a health and accident insurance policy. The family's meager savings were used to purchase the little house which has no basement and a "sub -standard" foundation.

New Loading Coils Save Copper and Nickel for War A LOADING COIL is a doughnut. shaped contrivance of copper wire wound over a ring of alloy contain- ing nickel. Its job is to give your voice an electrical "push" as you talk over a telephone line. There is about one loading coil for every mile of an average Long Distance telephone circuit in cable —nearly half a million in Mirhi- gan alone, besides about 200,0 on local circuits. For years the Bell System's re- search has been making these coils progressively smaller, yet 'zeeping them as effective as the larger coils. Now, as a further step to help meet the shortage of war materials, load- ing coils have been developed that use only about half as much copper and nickel as the former type. The pictures indicate the latest reduc- tion in size. From this single source, in 1942, the Bell System will save an esti- mated 40,000 pounds of each of those needed metals. • In spite of material shortages that make it increasingly difficult to satisfy all _service requests as promptly as in the past, Michigan Bell is confidently determined that every war need will be met.

Now Is Time to Begin To Build Up Your Lawn for Summer (By the Master Gardener) If your lawn is infested with dandelions, crabgrass or other types of lawn weeds, then by all means see that the spring appli- cation of plant food is made early, even before the frost is out of the ground. Tests have shown that weeds are far less numerous in lawn areas that have been fed while the brass is still dormant. Here is what one experienced gardener has to say about the early feeding of lawns: "I am satisfied that very early feeding pays, and hereafter I will feed my lawn while it is pos- itively in the dormant stage— about the middle of February. "Not only does the grass on early -fed areas in my lawn make a good early growth, with a nice green color, but the early start that it gets certainly eliminates the early growth of any weeds that might come in otherwise." If you will give one section of your lawn a late February or early March feeding, you will find that it will show a notice- ably earlier greening and top growth than is the case with sec- tions that are fed in late spring. Grass that has been given an early feeding will stand up bet- ter all through the season, be- cause the root system is more dense, the turf is thicker and weeds do not get a chance to thrive like they do in a thin turf —one that is not fed. Apply four pounds of complete, balanced plant food per 100 square feet of lawn area. You can make application by hand, just as you would sow grass seed; with a kitchen colander or with a plant food spreader.

WOLFS SECRETARY Wednesday, March 18, 1942 Rosedale Gardens School News The kindergartners made de- fense stamps—big, solid light green ones and big, solid light red ones. On the red ones we put a 10 and on the green ones a 25. We learned to read "red" and "green." We painted a bookcase red, white and blue so that we could stand Mary Virginia's flag on the top. We have been work- ing on a big eagle too, and he certainly looks as if he had been worked on—hard. Outside of all this and learning two lines of "My Country 'tis of Thee" and making airplanes out of wood and continuing on with our pre - reading books, the kindergart- ners haven't done a thing. They haven't had time to do any more. Along with learning some hard number combinations with five and any other number you can think of up to ten, the first, grad- ers are trying to keep right up with good citizenship too, and we heard the rhythm band get- ting under way the other day. In the second and third grades the teacher passed out some papers that -tell how to keep from having accidents at home and then they learned to read them so they could tell their parents about not keeping their marbles on the stairs so the children would fall on them—or is it the other way around? There has been 'a noticeable effort, according to the decora- tions in the upper grades, to stress the fact that good citizens in school are good citizens out - UPHOLSTERING . .

In the eighth grade tnis week the slogan is something about rumors being doomers and that careful- ness in what we repeat to others is important. The upper grades were busy all week with spell - downs, too, and that means the spelling bees are buzzing. In fact, Friday was the day for in- dividual grade spelldowns. The winners were: Fifth grade, Alline Roberta Burns; sixth grade, Eu- gene Gell; seventh grade, Vir- ginia Meyers, and eighth grade, Dana Chapman. Kindergarten and First Grades The beginners are reading. They have learned the color names and direction words that enable them to read their own seatwork directions. They are al- so having experience in story reading. They will begin their rea-ling. chart stories . shortly. Third and Fourth Grades We had our C.J.C. meeting Wednesday.

Every Wednesday we bring money for defense stamps. The total purchased this week was $17.90. The third grade has been reading "A Surprise from Aunt Jane." Today they beganr "Our Friend, the Silkworm." The fourth grade has been studying about the Netherlands and the Netherland East Indies. They will be studying about Dutch towns and cities next week.

Here are some suggestions for prolonging the life of the helpful electric servants that save so much time and labor in your house- hold. Nearly all these appliances have critical. materials in some part of their construction ... rubber, aluminum, nickel, chromium, copper, alloy steel. When you make appliances last longer by careful use, you are conserving materials vital for the war effort. (1) After using an appliance, don't disconnect it by pulling on the electric cord. Yanking on the cord shortens its life. Always take hold of the plug when disconnecting cord. Don't let cord touch hot appliances. (2) Never immerse any electric appliance hi water. (3) Do not use a fork to remove toast from a toaster. Remove crumbs from your automatic toaster periodically. (4) Don't go away and leave your iron turned on—even to answer the phone or doorbell. Don't leave iron cord dangling so that it can be caught accidentally and the iron pulled to the floor. (5) Do not let large amounts of dirt collect in vacuum cleaner bag. (6) To protect the electric heating units and switches on appliances, avoid spilling food or fluids on them while cooking. (7) Do not let electric percolators, teakettles, etc. boil dry. Do not completely drain them while they are still hot. THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY Paze 8 THE LIVONIAN Wednesday, March 18, 1942 .
