Bock Is Convention Delegate Sixty members of the Rose- dale Gardens Parent-Teacher as- sociation heard an illustrated talk by Jack VanCoevering, out- door sports editor of The Detroit Free Press, who showed the movie .film, "A Year Outdoors," at the April meeting last Wed- nesday evening. The P.T.A. discussed the re- vised by-laws of the organization and tabled the matter for a vote at the May meeting. Mrs. Henry M. Bock, president, was appoint- ed as delegbate to the state P. T. A. convention to be held in Traverse City May 20, 21 and 22. It was also announced at Wed- nesday's meeting that the P.T.A. through the cooperation of the school board and the Excess Commodities' administration will serve fruit juices and fresh fruits to Rosedale school children dur- ing the morning recess period. Mrs. Bock announced that the P. T. A. has raised about $70 for the organization through its campaign to obtain renewal sub- scriptions to The Livonian in the subdivision. This represents ap- proximately 100 Livonian sub- scriptions. The chairman -praised the work of the captains and committee members and urged all to continue working to reach (Continued on Page 4) Rosedale Dentist Has New Associate Dr. J. M. Paterson, dentist, is now associated with Dr. Russel Curtis at 32007 Plymouth road in Rosedale Gardens. Office hours are from 9:30 to 4:30 on Wednes- days and Monday and Friday evenings. Principal Reports Drills Successful; Plan. Weekly Trials The Rosedale Gardens school has held its -first two air raid drills and Garrit Cramer, prin- cipal, reports both were success- fully carried out. Weekly air raid drills will become a part of the school's routine according to Principal Cramer. The warning alarm was sound- ed by two long rings of the school class bells. The fire alarm drill is given with a sustained blast of a horn so school children may easily distinguish between the two warning signals. The 250 students of the school filed out of their classrooms and into the school corridors in about two minutes at each rehearsal. The first- drill over a week ago was held at 9:30 in the morning and last Wednesday's drill was at 11:15 in the morning. Students in the upper grades remained in the corridors on the second floor (Continued on page 4) Zoning Hearings Near -o etion Expect Ordinance to Take Effect in a Month . Hearings on the proposed township zoning ordinances are nearing completion and it is ex- pected that the ordina i"- will become effective within the ri-xt month. The Livonia Township Planning commission has held four public hearings for property owners in township .districts, the last of which was held at the Rosedale Gardens school Friday evening. The final district hearing is to . be held at the Newburg school for the purpose of explaining the application of zoning regulations in sections 29, 30, 31 and 32, in - elusive, in Livonia township. These sections represent the property in the township south of Plymouth road and west of a point a .quarter of a mile west of Wayne road. Following completion of the final hearing for the Newburg district, the, planning commission will call a general township meeting of all Livonia property owners to approve amendments to the ordinance draft and com- plete zoning maps. The proposed zoning ordinance, it is explained by township offi- cials, is entirely separate and apart from the building code proposal voted upon at Monday's election. The voters of the township authorized the drafting of a .zoning- ordinance at last spring's election.

Wednesday, April 8, 1942 Victory Garden Information Selection of Vegetables When the snow and winter be- gins to leave, seed catalogues be- gin to fascinate the amateur gardener. If the garden is small, do not consider peas or corn at all as the ,yield is small unless ,you can plant a large space.. Beets and carrots are satisfactory if the garden is a good size, but remember how very cheap they are in the stores and that their flavor does not change much with longer picking. If the soil is heavy, these root vegetables are very stubby. Do not waste precious space on broccoli, egg plant and fancy vegetables. Cabbage is cheap in the stores and the worms will get more cabbage than the usual amateur will be able to pick. Bush beans, green and wax, are easy to grow and if picked .young are delicious and taste very dif- ferent. If you keep planting beans ten days apart, -you will have plenty to can. Swiss Chard is a good green, easy to grow and quite decorative. New Zeal - land spinach is prolific in a small area and excellent if picked young. Radishes and a little leaf lettuce planted several times will be splendid for salads. If .you plant a parsley row, a plant of chives and a root of mint .you will welcome the results in your kitchen nearly every day. A few hills of cucumbers, from part of a package of seed, well thinned - out will give you all you can use in August and September. Tomatoes are one of the easiest things to grow and the most pro- lific. Plan to buy a few good sturdy :plants about Memorial day and set them out. Four plants will give an average family all L.

A dozen plants would give an average family enough tomatoes for the table and for canning also. A canned tomato shortage is an- ticipated so set out tomato plants somewhere. Two or four green pepper plants will give ,you an ample pepper supply. Do not be carried away by seed catalogues. Think over .your space and plan on the really productive seeds. The am- ateur had better not try to raise plants himself, but plan to buy them about the end of May. For- get the plants until Memorial day but plan now for room for them. Stark School News Spring is here. At least the boys think so. They are all busy outdoors with their marbles and baseball. The girls are also get- ting ready for the summer months. They are playing jump the rope, hop scotch and baseball, too. We are sorry to lose our sub- stitute teaclZ, Mrs. Mitchell, who left us at the end of last week. Everyone in the school liked her very much. Mrs. Mit- chell taught the first and second grades. She has been replaced by Mrs. Laird whom we are sure will be liked. Since we have started using the new hall., a new code of "un- written" laws is being used. One of the main ones is that there is to be no talking in the halls and no loitering on the way. The halls are to be used by the people as roadways are used by cars. A good motorist wouldn't con- sider parking in the middle of the road. Well, we are trying to create that same feeling in our halls. We hope we succeed. "All Out For Victory" is a motto which is being put into use all over the United States. We are making that cry ring true at Stark, too. We are begin- ning by conserving. By inspec- tions we have reached a decision that a large amount of paper has been wasted in our school. We are planning on even unfolding envelopes and using the clean in- side for scrap paper. There are several other ways to conserve materials, too. While in Maryland perch are artificially propagated somewhat like trout., and in Minnesota perch are among the "rough fish" sein- ed from lakes and destroyed, Michigan recognizes the perch as a game fish, but gives it no stocking aid except to transplant perch to 'lakes when they con- centrate in spring or fall "runs" up small streams.

Taylor) Here's just a brief story Of what I tried to do, To help my country, and its people, As .you, and .you, and you. I wanted to be a soldier And fight for dear Uncle Sam; To do my share in front lines; To do what I could—and can (?) But Fate stepped into my life, As it has so many times before, To prevent my training, and activities, For front lines to help win our war. My life in the Army as a soldier Was not a great success, Because my time was mostly spent In a hospital, to rest. While waiting for a dis-charge, Which means I cannot stay,— Thank tay:Thank God, most sincerely, That I'm American, in the U.S.A.? And so, as I leave this Army, I ask each and everyone To keep .your flag a -flying, And Do what I might have done.' So-called "scrub oak" lands of north central Michigan are not, as a rule, forested by a single species of oak, but may have as many as five- different varieties of oak trees in mixture, accord- ing to the department of conser- vation. The "scrub oak" is not a distinct species of tree; it may be any of several kinds of oak whose growth has been retard- ed by poor soil or moisture con- ditions, or both.

The immediate Keep healthy—to save time availability of housing and train- and expense. ing facilities plus excellent cli- School es matic conditions prompted Army officials to choose Miami Beach as the ideal location for the school. Let's talk about Alline Burns. She has just won the school spelling bee and we think the fifth grade can be very proud and a bit chesty too since they were spelling down a champion of long standing. Marion Price has been right up in front for several years and we keep wondering what she does with all her dic- tionaries. But now it's Alline's turn to collect them. It's orchids to Alline! But speaking of spelling, the First Graders spelled from re- cess on and would have stayed all night if their teacher hadn't de- cided to finish later. That was two weeks ago and we :think they would still be spelling if Jane Cook hadn't gone down on that mean little word "cabbage." Karen Benson won the prize and since Jane was runner-up she won a prize. We think everybody in the first grade ought to win a prize for the nice work they are doing in reading and num- bers and rhythm band. The Kindergartners are study- ing about Holland and the wooden shoes and the windmills and the tulips the way it was a long while .ago. Richard Mier has ideas about the Dutch and he has made a dark cloud on the back. of his paper with the little boy, on the front standing under a bright sun. He says the boy has. just come in out of the darkness. . Although we didn't talk about the present conditions of Holland at all, we hope that .Richard's picture is symbolic and that pretty soon the little boys and girls will be coming out into the sunshine again where there will be peace and plenty. Festival music and dances have started during the music classes so that means festival time is around some corner. We had one - hundred per cent cooperation last year and we believe we are going to have one -hundred and one per cent this ,year as ' some of the pupils are making up their own dances which we think is quite an undertaking. We could mention many more things but time is short, but we'll start earlier next week. The new school bus which has been ordered is being held up in delivery and it may be some time before we will receive it. But it will be here! There was excellent coopera- tion on the part of the pupils all over the building during the air raid drill this week. No one talk- ed and we realize that is very important since last minute in- structions must be heard.

To win this war, we must conserve every possible pound of vital materials. Critical shortages have caused the War Production Board to issue an order strictly limiting the use of those scarce materials by the telephone companies in expanctmg telephone service. The War Production Board estimates that this conservation program will save annually about 35,500 tons of lead, 29,000 tons of iron and steel, 29,500 tons of copper,' and large amounts of zinc, crude rubber, magnesium and other strategic materials. HOW THE ORDER MAY AFFECT YOU 1. PARTY LINES, only, can be installed in many cases. 2. EXTENSION TELEPHONES cannot be installed in residences except where ; needed by those responsible for public health, welfare or security. 3. TELEPHONES of wall or desk (upright) types cannot be changed to hand sets. 4. MANUAL TELEPHONE SWITCHBOARDS may not be changed to dial except where the work is well advanced. The steps taken do not mean that the basic quality of your telephone service will be curtailed. They simply remove some of the de luxe trimmings. We shall continue to provide the best service possible, and we look forward to the day when we can meet all requests as in the past. Now, and for the duration war needs come first.
