HomeMy WebLinkAboutLivonian1942_0422State Rejects Plea; School Board Takes Appeal to War Board Priorities, and refusal of the State Department of Public In- struction at Lansing to cooperate with the l o c a l people are dampening the hopes of estab- lishing a transportation system for the small_ _children of the Elm -Rosedale Gardens school district, it was disclosed here to- day. In a letter addressed to William J. Trepagnier, president of Livonia Township No. 6 Board of Education, the State Depart - Ment of Public Instruction stated, "It is quite evident your pupils can walk." It has been pointed out that many children live two and ,4 half miles from and walk five miles or more daily to and from school. The total children now this far distant is steadily in- creasing because of devedop- ment of defense homes within the area. The people of Elm -Rosedale district, by a five -to -one major- ity,, last January, voted to estab- lish a bus service for children of elementary s c h o o l age. On February 4, after .receiving bids from s e v e r a l bus manufac- turers, the school board placed an order for a bus. Before deliv- ery date, however, the govern- mental "freezing" order came through and no more commerical vehicles were released without priority ratings. 'In its efforts to obtain release of the bus, ordered long before the federal freezing_ date, the board solicited the assistance of the state education department. Following is an excerpt of a recent letter from Dorr Stack, director of school board counsel- ing, State Department of Public Instruction, Lansing: "Insofar .as the distance is con- cerned, it is quite evident that your pupils can walk to their elementary schools without bus transportation. Your school .is of normal size, and pupils all over the state -are walking distances similar to the distance in your school district." " Board President Trepagnier admitted that there was still a possibility of securing the bus. "We have made a strenuous ef- fort through the War Production Board, local allocation office, and they give us every assurance of cooperation. The bus is all built and ready for delivery: "WPB has taken into account the fact t h at the people of our district overwhelmingly voted to instruct this School Board to provide transportation for our children and the fact that we carried out our instructions at a time when it was not interfering with defense production of war work." Eire Damages Livonia Home Fireplace Burns at W. R. Phipps' Dwelling The Livonia fire department responded to a fire call shortly after midnight Saturday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter R. Phipps, 14931 Farmington road. Fire started in the living -room fireplace of the six -room frame home. The fire was confined to the fireplace and resulted in dam- ages estimated at $600. It is be- lieved the blaze originated either from defective wiring or flue lining in the fireplace. The department answered two other fire calls earlier in the week which resulted in no dam- age. Fire extinguished in a barn on the property of Oscar Skog- Iund on Fairfield near the Five Mile road Wednesday and in an- other barn owned by Fred Liv- erance on Six Mile road near Middle Belt road Thursday. —o Livonia Church Adds , Two New Services The Livonia Community church will hold evening services from 8 to 9 o'clock starting Sun- day evening, April 26.

Township Studies Water Extension Needs More Facilities for Defense Housing The township is taking steps to increase the present water sup- ply system to meet the exigenc- ies of defense housing develop- ments in this designated defense area. The township board has. under consideration an enabling ordinance to authorize the sale of bonds for extension of the water system. Raymond Foley, state FHA ad- ministrator, has announced -that more than 50,000 defense houses are to be constructed in this area. Buildings to qualify for loan money must be within two miles of a bus line and have adequate water and sanitary fa- cilities. Construction projects and pub- lic works have been curtailed by the War Production board and the township will have to sub- mit an application for approval for utility extensions from the WPB to obtain priority ratings on all materials before the pro- tect can be undertaken. —0— Appoint Appoint Chairman for Junior Red Cross Mrs. E.- W.

Two hundred girls completed the clothing project while 150 boys completed the 4-H handicraft pro- ject and received 4-H club pins and certificates in recognition of their achievements. The highlight of the ,program was the 4-H dress revue which featured a gardening scene, can- ning scene and provided for in- dividual styling by the advanced girls who made wool and party dresses. The committee in charge of the dress revue were Mrs. Elva Galloway, Walker school; Mrs. June Salisbury, Livonia Center school; and Miss Vivian Wise, Stark school. Also featured on the program was a citizenship ceremony given by the Newburg 4-H clubs. The special event of the eve- ning was a presentation of 10 - ,year awards by Kenneth J. And- erson, county club agent in be- half of the 4-H club .members in consideration of those leaders who have led 4-H clubs for 10 consecutive years or longer. Those leaders who received this recognition were Mrs. Ada Wat- son, Newburg school; Mrs. Ruth McFall, Denton school; and Mrs. Gladys Dugan, Allen school. Miss Olga Bird, assistant state club leader, Michigan State col- lege, announced the girls' honor roll and named the following to attend club week at Michigan Stag college from June 29 to July 3: Frances DeLongpre, Sheldon; Ruth Golm, Cady; Rosalie Ful- ton, Wilcox; Lois Bryan, New- burg; Latitia Pierce, Fisher; Ira Mae Webber, Canton Center; Lorraine Boettger, Truesdell; Esther Mettetal, Bartlett.

The important thing is to be ready —to know what to do. One of the first rules to fix in your mind is: Leave telephone lines as free as possible to speed the zoork of rescue and defense. In blackouts — during air-raid alarms and other local emergencies — you add to public danger if you use your telephone needlessly. You may clog the lines and hinder the efforts of the fire-fighters, police and rescue squads. In any time of public emergency, use your telephone only for vital messages. WHILE AMERICA IS AT WAR Help vital messages go through without delay by: • Keeping telephone conversations short. • Avoiding the busy hours — 10 A. M. to noon, 2 to 4 P. M. • Answering your telephone promptly. Giving the number when placing Long Distance calls.

Ford Men Ride Bikes to Conserve Tires Employes of the local Ford plants are not only working at top speed to produce tool parts for war production, but some of the men at the Plymouth and Newburg plants are now riding bicycles to work to conserve on tires during the war emergency. The group of bike riders in- cludes Willard Jackson, William McAllister, George Court, Leslie Evans and Dan Wright of the Plymouth plant and William Bake of the Newburg factory. Superintendent James Gallimore joined the clan last week when he borrowed one of the men's - bicycles to peddle from the Plymouth to the Newburg plant. The men travel from distances of about two miles from their homes to work and return each day and carry their lunch pails with them on the bicycles. It's good exercise, they recommend, and a big saving_ on automobile tires. Started by employes of the Ford plants, the practice prom- ises to become more widespread - among the factory workers as the tire and automobile situation becomes more ;acute.

The Detroit Edison Company is salvaging even floor sweepings—the litter that falls to the ground from the reduction furnace, where insulation is burned from old wires and cables. Furnace sweepings consist of dirt, ashes, and bits of metal. All this residue is shoveled into a mechanical separator. The dirt and ashes are discarded, and the metals reclaimed. This is all in a day's work—part of our business of running the Company efficiently. Efficient operation helps lower the cost of manufacturing and delivering electricity to our customers, brings better service at lower rates. Salvaged materials and equipment that produce revenue include old rubber, pipe insulation, brass bases from lamp bulbs, gaskets, lumber from old poles, lead -cov- ered cable and copper wire, turbines and boilers. They include such items as cinders and tar, brass And scrap iron, paper and cardboard, firebrick, and more than five hundred other odds and ends. Since the war, salvage and reclamation work has assumed added importance. Always a matter of economy and good business, it has now become a patriotic obligation. Critical metals are con- served, and the re -use of salvaged items often saves a great portion of the labor which entered into the manufacture of the original article. This releases additional man-hours for new produc- tion vital to the war effort.
