Landlords To Register Rentals Forms Obtainable At Township Hall Landlords in the Livonia area are required by the Maximum Rent Regulation to register -ev- ery rental dwelling unit by July 1. The Rent Control went into effect on June 1 and, the rent- for the current month must not be higher than that charged on April 1, 1941. Registration forms may now be obtained at the Li- vonia township hall. - When the form has ,been made out ,and signed, all the landlord must do is mail it to the Rent Control Office, 764 Penobscot building, Detroit. If the form is properly made out and the max- imum rent shown is considered fair andall other requirements are `met, the three copies of the form are officially stamped as approved: One copy is filed, 'an- other is mailed to the landlord and the third -is mailed directly to the tenant. Landlords are required -to reg- ister rentals of whatever ki,,.d no matter whether it was rented on April 1, 1941 or whether it is rented now. Whether rented or vacant; the -accommodations must be registered. A dwelling unit is a room, a group of rooms, fiats, apartments or houses-. Tenants who sub -let all or any part of a dwelling unit must register also. Tenants are to check informa- tion in the" statement and if ten- ants agree with the information the landlord has reported, they are to keep the statement for ref- (Contiued on page 8) .rubt,ui ut rlyllluumn a recent, graduate of Moody Bible Insti- tute in Chicago, will teach the classes.

Gas Stations To Collect Rubber Donate Reclaimable Rubber By June 30 Every citizen of Livonia and surrounding vicinity is urged to contribute old rubber articles to the scrap piles at local gas sta- tions by midnight on Tuesday, June 30. The success of this rub- ber collection drive will deter- mine in large measure the neces- sity `for nation-wide gas ration- inE. The voluntary cooperation of citizens in contributing sufficient rubber for immediate war needs may forestall gas rationing in Michigan and this community. The government has offered a price of $25 a ton for scrap rub- ber ..and local gas stations will offer a penny a pound for all scrap delivered to filling stations. While oil companies are permit- ted to pay a penny a pound for all acceptable scrap rubber, it is anticipated that many loyal cit- izens and organizations will de- sire to donate rather than to sell their reclaimable rubber. No pro- fits on the sale of rubber will be retained by any filling station or oil company. Any receipts in ex- cess of the purchase price will be turned over to the national headquarters of the USO, Army Relief, Navy Relief and the American Red Cross on an equal basis. Your contribution of scrap rubber is therefore a donation to _these charity organizations. Every gas station attendant will aid in the campaign by ask- ing customers for rubber dona- tions. Every citizen is urged by the local committee to search :attics and basements to donate, any of the following acceptable articles of rubber: Tires, inner tubes, crepe rubber soles, 'boots and overshoes,' hot water bottles, tennis shoes, rubber belting," rubber gloves, -rubber sheeting, raincoats, rubber -heels, bathing caps, jar rings, plumbers' suction caps, rubber ash trays and hun- dreds of other articles containing rubber. Farmers are asked to call their nearest gas dealer who will arrange for pick-up of rub- ber. - Take your reclaimable scrap rubber to the nearest " gasoline filling station today. One of the most critical material • shortages which this country must over- come to win the wards the short- age" of rubber and your contribu- tion is one principal means of meeting this shortage.

Suggestions include the native white, red or jack pine for south or west slopes of eroded hillsides or light sandy soils. Norway and white spruce can be planted for Christmas trees on north or east slopes of hills or in odd corners of fields. Locust and white cedar are rec- ommended for fence post wood. Transplanted evergreens are sug- gested for windbreaks. Sandy loam or heavier soils can take broad leaved trees of green ash, American elm or black cherry or shrubs that offer food for wild life. Special allotments are avail- able from the Agricultural Con- servation program for tree plant- ing or windbreak transplants. A�_, � ¢nny wise �� .

OPA explained that stamp No. 4, now valid for the purchase of a pound of sugar, would expire at midnight, .June 27. The next stamp, good for two pounds, may be used at any time thereafter until midnight, July 25, where- upon stamp No.. 6 will become valid until August 22. Sometime before August 22, OPA will announce the period of time to be covered by other stamps in the ration books. At the same time, OPA dis- closed that, effective Saturday, it would permit institutional and industrial users to obtain sugar allowances for a two-month per- iod instead of the one month now permitted.

Broken or missing buttons can ruin a costume, or, if unmatchable, necessitate the purchase of a new set. Then put the money saved into U. S. SAVINGS STAMPS—to help button up Hitler!

Why buy 16 different cleaning powders when four will do the job? All departments of the Company are cooperating in raising many questions similar to these. As a result, the big catalog shown above looms large in helping us to make savings. It lists some 30,000 items, all indexed and classified, that are purchased for use in our business. And every one of these items is standardized to achieve important economies in their use. These economies are twofold: (1) the direct dollar saving in the initial cost of the item, and (2) the saving effected through cutting down the number of items, with a consequent lessening of storage, handling, and ordering expense. A few examples will illustrate the point: In our purchases of printed forms, we planned for fewer sizes, weights, and grades of paper, as well as fewer forms. This reduced the number of forms 43%, and saved $40,000 annually. The apparently simple problem of washing floors, windows, walls and woodwork would not seem to present much opportunity for saving through the standardization of the materials involved. Yet by having cleaning powders made to our specification, we cut the cost more than half and saved over $5,000 a year. The substitution of wool felt for cork in pipe insulation saved 84 per cent of the cost ... a total of $1,799 on one job. These examples can be multi- plied—pipes and fittings, tools, wiring, lumber, metal polish, fly exterminators, rope and cord, drain solvent, etc. The list is almost endless. Today we hear much about standardization in industry to help the war effort. Our standards program has been achieving economies for the past 20 years. These econ. omies are reflected in our service and rates. The average price per kilowatthour paid by our residence customers for electricity has dropped 46 per cent in the last 20 Tears.
