To Open June ZZ School Playground Is Well Equipped The first public school nursery program in the Detroit area and possibly in the state has been organized at Stark school and will ;open its summer program next Monday, June 22. The nur- sery school branch of the sum- mer recreation program is spon- sored jointly by the day care committee of the Wayne County Council of Defense, the Wayne Calinty board of education and the Stark school board. According to accepted nursery school methods, only five or six .youngsters will attend the school on opening day next Monday and two children will be added to the group each day. At present, there are 14 children from the Stark community and vicinity enroll- ed. Parents who have had con- ferences with nursery school di- rectors at Stark will be notified . when their ,youngsters are to re- port and also the definite re- quirements for entrance. James Rossman, school prin- cipal, visited the Merrill -Palmer school in Detroit recently to ob- tain suggestions and recommen- dations on equipment. Mrs. Bowser, nursery school teacher, is completing a refresher course in nursery school methods. The program has required careful planning to keep expenditures at a minimum and to provide durable equipment which will be of use in the regular beginners' class during the winter. The Stark nursery school playground has been fenced and equipped with sand boxes, swings, slides, climbing bars, large blocks, balance beams and teeter-totters. The- school will appreciate donations from par- ents who have tricycles, wagons and wheelbarrows which their children have outgrown. Frame and canvass cots have been pro- vided for the tots' nap periods. The enrollment fee is $4 a week.

The new ruling was con- firmed at a meeting of the local draft board Monday evening. "An unborn child is a depend- ent, but pregnancy resulting from marriages after December 8, 1941, or for the primary purpose of providing a dependency defer- ment, shall not be considered to be cause for Class III -A class- ification," declares the Army bulletin. This change is premised on the imminence of a plan for allowance and allotment benefits. for dependents of men in the armed forces, a proposal now under consideration in Congress. Local draft board No. 61 for the Plymouth area received word this week that the quota of men to be inducted from this district in July will be the largest since the inception of selective service. A large group is expected to be inducted into service from this board on Monday and the names of inductees will be published next week. The July quota is ex- pected to be more than twice as many as Monday's group. - Livonia Forms (Continued from page 1) other residents are asked to vol- unteer their services to aid Mrs. Anderson, Livonia chairman, in the fund drive. The speed and efficiency with which the citizens of Livonia and vicinity raise the USO goal of $15,00 will be an indication of the determination with which the people of Amer- ica support the war for victory. It is important not only to show our fighting men that a united nation and a united community backs them up but it is important also to our own morale. Contact your local chairman today and volunteer your services in this campaign. The six national agencies which are members of the USO are the Young Men's Christian Associa- tions, the National Catholic Com- munity Service, the Salvation Army, t h e Young Women's Christian Associations, the Jew- ish Welfare Board and the Na- tional Travelers' Aid Association, representing the three principal religious faiths of this nation. The USO has already set up 23 trans -ocean clubhouses in Hawaii, Alaska, Canal Zone, Trinidad, Bermuda and other out- posts of America's defenders.

We did this in an effort to save cars, tires, man- hours, gasoline ... yet still provide reasonably, good service for our customers. You have cooperated generously in this pro- gram, and thanks to your patience, we can report worthwhile results. By ROUTING cus- tomer calls—that is, by grouping all the calls in a certain area so that a man can handle more in a single trip—we are saving 1,000 miles of driving per day. Our customers have not been inconvenienced too greatly: The lat- est figures show that 84 PER CENT of all customer calls are answered within an hour. Meanwhile, material shortages grow more crit- ical. We are making further studies on how to achieve even greater savings in rubber, gaso- line, and man-hours, and still maintain good service.We know that if we are obliged to adopt a new plan along this line, you will cooperate with us as whole-heartedly as you have done in the past.
