Livonia's Sons In Service .Are Enthusiastic In Fraise Of USO Livonia township has t w o mothers, each with two sons in the armed services, who are en- thusiastic in their praise of the USO. Mrs. A. E. Cooper of Hub- bard road has two sons in the Army and Mrs. Edgar Westphall of Orangelawn avenue has two sons in the Navy. Sergeant Harvey E. Cooper, 24, stationed at McChord Field, near Tacoma, Washington, depends upon the facilities at the camp USO headquarters for his recrea- tion during all off-duty hours, Mrs. Cooper -reports. Sgt. Cooper, in letters to his parents, reports he attends USO dances twice a week, enjoys playing ping-pong at the USO recreation center and appreciates the home -like at- mosphere of the center. He is at- tached to the Intelligence office of the Army Air corps base. Corporal John A. Cooper, 23, stationed at Fort Knox in an Army ordnance office, recently sent a message home on a record disc made at the USO center there. Both of the Cooper boys entered the service on June 26, 1941. Edgar Frank Westphall, 20, was honor man of his company at the Great Lakes Naval Train- ing station and is now on Pacific: duty. In the service fore'18 months, he recently sent $1130 home for his parents to buy bonds. Satur- day morning, young Worthy H. Westphall, 17, was sworn in at the Navy Recruiting office in Detroit to enter training service. These boys are .your neighbors and they are training and fight- ing to preserve .your freedom. While stationed at Army training camps and Navy bases they seek a "home away from }some" and that is what the USO provides for men in the armed services. You can help do .your share by giving generously to the USO next week.

Pate -.3 Enlarge Livonia Phone Service Growth Forces Immediate Expansion Livonia's rearranged and en- larged telephone system will go into operation next Tuesday morning, according to John R. MacLachlan, manager for the company. This is the second time in less than two years the company has been required to expand or re- arrange its central office facil- ities to keep pace with the growth of the community. Only the fact that the work was eng- ineered and well underway be- fore the war placed restrictions on materials and equipment made it possible for the com- pany to go ahead on this par- ticular project, it was stated. The number of telephones in service in the exchange has doub- led during that period. In Nov- ember, 1940, there were 410 tele- phones in service in Livonia. To- day, there are about 820, in- cluding an increase of more than 160 since the first of this year. In view of the rearrangement of the system, some telephone number changes will be required, MacLachlan said. Present num- bers that do not begin with the digit "2" will be affected. Ac- cordingly, a new directory will be issued. Party -line users will dial "7 to obtain the numbers of other parties on their particular lines, MacLachlan added, pointing out that information with respect to the party -line numbering system is contained in the new directory.

EN 0 01 Blood Plasma Saves Life On U.S.S. Kearney Early one morning last fall, in a pitching sea 350 miles off Ice- land, an American destroyer, the U.S.S. Kearney, was plowing to- ward Iceland. A moment later, a German torpedo ripped into her flank. A life -boat broke loose and crashed against the Chief Boatswain's mate, Leonard Fron- tanowski. A few hours later, a seaplane swooped low over the U.S.S. Kearney and three small par- achutes dropped down, missed the deck and fell into the sea. Sailors risked their lives to put out in a life -boat, gather the par- achutes in and struggle back to the destroyer. Attached to each parachute was a water -tight box, each containing a bottle of golden dry powder and a bottle of ster- ile . water. The ship doctor mixed the two together and started blood transfusions to save Fron- tanowski's Iife. The .yellow powder that saved his life was dried blood plasma. It had been prepared . 3,000 miles away, taken from the blood of housewives, office workers and truck drivers. You, too, can help the Red Cross equip every U.S. vessel with this life-saving substance. The Red Cross Mobile Blood bank will be at Stark school August 11 from 4 to 8 o'clock.

Like the cloud with the silver lining - every dark lamp shade needs a WHITE LINING! Like a thirsty sponge soaking up water, a dark lamp shade absorbs light. The light from the bulb is "hidden under a bushel" instead of being thrown into the room where it can do some good. One way to correct this fault -and still make use of'the offending shade -is to fit the shade with a white lining. This reflects more light into the room and may increase the efficiency of your lamp as much as 50 per cent. Another way to get all the light you pay for is to clean your bulbs and shades and fixtures frequently. Dust is insidious: It collects under shades, on reflector bowls, even inside enclosed glass fixtures, and cuts down the amount of light 10, 20, 30 per cent or more. Wipe lff lamp bulbs, reflectors, etc., with a damp cloth, and dust your lamp shades inside and out. Use the right size bulbs in your lamps and fixtures. Don't expect a small bulb to do a good lighting job when a larger bulb is needed. The light will be inadequate. Don't squeeze too big a bulb into a small lamp, either .. . the glaring light and harsh shadows are equally harmful. Try moving your lamps closer to the point of use, so that they shed their light more directly on your work. White linings for shades are only one type of "light adaptor" equipment that makes it possible to modernize your lamps and fixtures easily and at low cost. There are many others in a variety of styles, all moderately priced ... available at department stores, lighting fix- ture stores, and electrical dealers. (We do not sell this equipment.
