Rosedale -Elm Board To Reduce School Taxes Finance Committee Announces 13 P. C. Reduction For Year Taxes for school purposes for Livonia school district No. 6 are to be reduced approximately 13 percent for the 1942-43 fiscal .year, it was announced today by William J. Trepagnier, president of the board, following a meeting of the finance committee. "This is the second tax reduc- tion for the Rosedale -Elm district since 1940," Mr. Trepagnier said. "This will mean that the millage will total not more than 10 mills as compared with a school tax rate of 11.5 mills last year." V. H. Smale, treasurer of the board, reported that the district is in the best financial condition of its history. "Despite the big building pro- gram of 1940-41 the financial structure of the district has strengthened," he said. "We have more buildings, more rooms, more teachers and heavier oper- ating expenses as a result, but this has been more than offset by rigid economies of operation and one of the lowest of possible in- terest rates on the present bond- ed indebtedness." All outstanding indebtedness prior to 1932 has been paid, Trepagnier told. "During the past ,year the books were, cleared of the 1966 refunding bond issue to- taling $7,000 and the new build- ing bond issue was reduced by another $7,000." Red Cross Calls For Donors On August 11 Livonia citizens donated 53 pints of blood at the mobile unit blood donor station at the Stark school last Tuesday. The local Red Cross chapter plans another blood donor day on August 11 from 4 to 8 o'clock at the Stark school and appeals for at least 125 registrants to insure success of the project. The Hope Chapel headquarters of the Red Cross will not be open during the month of July. Persons may reg- ister as blood donors by calling Mrs. Jesse Ziegler or Mrs. Eunice Rhoades. The mobile unit from Detroit Red Cross headquarters included a doctor, four staff nurses, two motor corps workers and two registrars. Mrs. Rhoades and Mrs. Earl Westphall assisted in the registration of donors. Motor corps volunteers who furnished transportation were Mrs. Irvin McWethy, Mrs. Carl Binder and Miss Shirley Zwahlen, and nurses from the Livonia Red Cross branch were Mrs. C. J. Kershaw, Mrs. Clifton Hefferon, Mrs. John Howell and Mrs. Tole. Canteen workers included Mrs. Austin (Continuea on Page 4) Livonia School District To Meet Election And Reports Will Be Given.

Air raid wardens, aux- iliary police, auxiliary firemen, members of the defense medical squads and other civilian defense units paraded in the motor car- avan. The Red Cross section of the parade was led by William Fen- ske of the advisory council and Mrs. Eunice Rhoades, Livonia chairman, followed by a navy blue and white float representing the colors of the chapter's nine production units.

These members are five in num- ber and the terms of two of them expire this year. It is almost an axiom in the business world that members of Boards of Directors are retained in their positions as long as they -are rendering faithful and efficient service. The same rule, we believe, should apply to the selection of members of the Board of Education. During the terms of office of our neighbors, VICTOR SMALE and WILLIAM J. TREPAGNIER, the financial affairs of the dis- trict have been handled in a businesslike, sensible manner. Not only is the indebtedness of. the district being materially reduced each year but, in addition, the tax rate for the next school year will be substantially lower. And this is being done while at the same time new buildings were added and the teaching system improved. Alert as they are, because of their splendid business back- ground, these men in conjunction with other members of your Board of Education, have seized upon every opportunity to promote the interests of the school and community without asking the taxpayers to assume unnecessary or unusual bur- dens. They stand, on their record and we believe that record merits their retention on the Board of Education. We urge your support at the election, July 13, 1942. RESPECTFULLY, Carson W.

Another Red Cross float, dec- orated in red and white, repre- sented a room in a Red Cross blood bank with a registrar, can- teen worker, doctor and grad- uate nurse ready to care for a blood donor on a cot.

USO To Conduct (Continued from page 1) and for "send-off" ceremonies at local draft headquarters. The purpose of the USO is to provide a "home away from home" for every man in the _armed services. Our fighting men have the spirit to win this war, but loneliness, monotony and boredom can destroy that spirit. USO guarantees our fight- ing men, in their moments of re- laxation, the fun and friendship they deserve. A contribution to the USO is your pledge to your men that you stand behind the men behind the guns. The USO now has 403 clubs and 182 other units serving the armed forces in the United States, and operates 28 clubs, mobile units and other services for the armed forces outside the United States. Thirty-four USO mobile units visit 665 places a week, along both coasts, where men are on detached duty, furnishing movies, refreshments and mail service. Men in every branch of service find a welcome at the troops -in -transit lounges and hospitality centers in railroad and bus stations from coast to coast. Today, USO -Camp Shows, Inc. are on a nation-wide tour of Army camps and Naval stations, playing admission -free to more than 150,000 men a week. The clubhouses near the Army and Navy posts provide club- rooms, shower baths, reading rooms, kitchen facilities, dances, voice recording machines to send messages to families at home, musical instruments, stages with theatrical lighting, motion -pic- ture equipment, typewriters, free theatre ticekts, movies, writing tables, and refreshment bars. The USO -Camp Shows, Inc., largest circuit in the history of show business, includes Hollywood and Broadway stars, top-flight con- cert artists, "name" bands and shows in overseas bases. For troops in transit the USO pro- vides reading and writing ma- terials, coffee and cookies, and general "travelers aid" service and other social services to troops on leave in large metropolitan area. "Our commander-in-chief has said that we can't win this war by machines alone; it takes a high-spirited, fighting Army to do the job. The spirit USO helps maintain is a real contribution to- ward victory but your contribu- tion is needed to continue this morale insurance. You help someone you know when you give to the USO," states Mrs.. Myron Anderson.

S. Government's Con- sumer's Pledge—and it applies just as much to your lamps and fixtures as to your electric appliances. Perhaps it is even more important, because lamps lose their efficiency little by little, day by day, as dust and dirt collect on bulbs and shades and reflector bowls. The amount of light you are getting may be cut in half before you realize it ... and these days you need plenty of good light for easy comfortable seeing, during those extra hours you spend knitting or sewing or doing war work. Good light helps make your time more productive. Here are a few simple rules to aid in keeping your lamps and fixtures at top efficiency: Wipe all lamp bulbs frequently with a damp cloth, also the reflector bowls and shades. Dust steals light. Replace dark - colored shades with light shades or shades with white linings. This may give you as much as 50 per cent more light. Use the RIGHT SIZE BULBS in your lamps and fixtures — not too large, not too small. Too large a lamp may cause glare, too small a lamp gives in- adequate light. Move your lamps closer to the point of use, so that they shed their light more directly on your work. Check the location of all your lamps with this in mind. Use adapter shades and linings to mod- ernize your present equipment. This can be done easily and at low cost, and you obtain good light while conserving materials, The Detroit Edison Company.
