This tax rate is based upon a total assessed valuation of $8,- 118,255 for Livonia determined by a review of the general as- esssment rolls by the Wayne county board of supervisors earlier in the month. This year's total valuation represents an increase of $956,- 990 over last year. The increase in valuations will take care of any added expenses necessitat- ing no increase in the tax rate. Supervisor Ziegler has not yet completed the 1942-43 annual township budget but he estimates that the total township tax spread will approximate $14,000. Police Unit Stages Program At Wilcox The third defense program sponsored by the Livonia auxil- iary police force will be held in Sector C on the grounds of Stark school, at Stark road south of Plymouth road, Saturday, Aug- ust 1. Chairmen in charge will be Walter Dixon, Wayne Kendall and Jack Gage. The auxiliary police frolic in Sector B, Wilcox district, was a huge success last Saturday night. Chairmen Wayne Kendall and C. Noble were responsible for - preparation of the evening pro- gram. Flag Day girls canvassed the neighborhood to distribute programs for the event and Mrs. Muirhead was in charge of the refreshment committee. Among the entertainers were Miss Donna Jerore, vocalist; Joan Beck, piano soloist; Richard Za- bell, singer and Donna Walker, tap dancer. The Wurlitzer ac- cordionettes, including Miss Madelin Seehoffer, Eddie Craft, Jim Callow and Marshall La - Comb, appeared through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Dun - ford. The Misses Inele and Bar- bara Daniels, juvenile accordion- ists, rendered duets. Cakes, baked and donated by the wives of auxiliary police- men, were auctioned for a total fund of $20.30 to contribute to the fund for an air raid siren. Performers who wish to partici- pate in next Saturday's program may call any of the three chair- men, Mr. .Dixon, Kendall or Gage. Building Code Now In Effect Inspector Sets Up Office At Town Hall The Livonia township board approved suggested amendments to the new building code ordi- io_n.ce at its meeting last Mon- day- evening.

Township Sector Lights Up For "Surprise" Blackout An incident in one of the township sectors last week proves ,that Livonia citizens are "on the alert" for practice blackouts and air raids.

After numerous tests, I was classified as a pilot and trans- ferred to the pilot squadron. I have had two weeks of ground, pre-flight schooling. Our classes are set up on a four-week basis, so we are apt to be sent to Pri- mary anytime after two more weeks as vacancies occur. In spite of heat, dust and other rigors of Army life, I am very satisfied with my new duties. I do miss all my friends but have made many new ones.

ELY & SONS EASY WAYS TO SAVE when you cook on your ELECTRIC RANGE In these days when "waste nothing" is a household rule, you can save time, effort and electricity by using your range efficiently. The 5 suggestions listed below are not new: Perhaps you already follow them. If not, they will prove worthwhile. (1) Use LOW heat whenever possible. You can keep your cooking cost down by finishing most of your surface cooking on low heat after foods have reached the steaming point. Once the steaming point is reached, you cannot speed up the cooking operation one bit by continued use of high heat. Reducing the heat will reduce your cooking costs, as well as conserving vita- mins and minerals. (2) Plan more oven meals. Preparing a complete meal in the oven at one time is economical: The some amount of electricity can cook meat, potatoes, vege- tables and a pudding in one operation. And by using your clock control, you can forget the dinner until it is ready to serve, and devote your time to other things. (3) Use little water in cooking. Vegetables are for more delicious and healthful when "steam -cooked" in only half -a -cup of water. This conserves precious minerals and food values —and you don't waste elec- tricity heating up a large quantity of water which is poured down the sink after the cooking is finished. (4) Make use of "stored" heat. When the cook- ing operation is almost finished, the heat may be turned completely OFF. The heat that remains in the unit can be used to complete the cooking operation. Take advantage of this method and the extra saving in the use of electricity (5) Use the thrift cooker often. If your range has one, the thrift cooker is ideal for soups, stews, and for less tender cuts of meat. Its long, slow cooking gives excellent results, and its "deep well" construction and heavy insulation achieve economy of operation. S -d for free booklet—'The Care and Use of Electric Applimces."

The treasurer's report was read. . It was moved by Mr. C. Schaffer, seconded by Mr. I Benson, that the treasurer's report be accepted. Unani- mously approved. Mr. Vandevender moved, seconded by Mr. Weinert, that the reading of the sedretary's report be dispensed :with. All ayes. Mr. Trepagnier summarized the activities of the Board for the past year, especially concerning the retirement of debts._ Plans for the coming year, which included the employing of an additional teacher to relieve the superintendent of teaching duties and to allow him to spend more time superintending activities of Vie school, were also mentioned by the president. Moved by Mr. Whitehead, seconded by Mr. Hedden, that the nine months school term be continued for the 1942-43 school year. For, 24; against, none. Moved by Mr. Weinert, seconded by Mr. Schaffer, that the National Bank of Detroit serve as sole depository for funds of the school district. All ayes. . Moved by Mr. Weinert, seconded by Mr. Whitenead, that the district pay tuition for the high school. students from this district in an amount not to exceed $11.00 per year. All ayes. Mr. Harsha requested information regarding purchase of lots ad- joining the Rosedale School and was informed by Mr. Trepagnier that the $6500.00 price quoted by the owners was considered excessive by the board. Mr. Weinert stated that since the property now owned by the district was donated by the owners of the adjoining lots, the real cost of all of the lots would only be approximately $350.00 each. Mrs. Benson questioned the connection of the school district with the Wayne County School System, wanting to know why the district had separated from the county system and had given up the advantages of this connection. In answer to Mrs. Benson's question, the secretary read from the minutes of the regular meeting of October 21, 1940 which clearly stated that connections had not been severed but that Mr. Kramer was to have full jurisdiction over the management of school affairs. Mr. Benson then asked what Mr. Kramer's qualifications for the position of superintendent were. The board was unable to supply this information without referring to files not at hand dating back to the year he was employed, whereupon Mr. Fred Weinert, who was serving on the board at the time Mr. Kramer was employed, stated that Mr. Kramer's qualifications were the best of the six candidates who applied for the position. Mr. Trepagnier then declared that the proceedings of the meeting were out of order, that an annual meeting was not the time to discuss the superintendent's qualifications. Mrs. Baker took issue with this statement, stating that it was her opinion that the annual meeting was the time when all questions of the electors should be discussed and answered. Mr. Van Devender, Mr. Harsha and Mr. VanCoevering each made short talks in favor of Mr. Kramer's management of the school system. M. Apps read from the school laws some of the actions which it is necessary to consider at an annual meeting. Upon motion of Mr. Weinert, seconded by Mr. Schaffer, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. RALPH S. RANDALL, Secretary.

Investiga- tion soon proved that the "warn- ing signal" was caused by a short circuit in an automobile horn in the neighborhood, and that in the excitement to report for the "blackout" all the lights in the neighborhood were turned on. A civilian defense official re- ported a similar incident in an- other community of the town- ship this week. Citizens became confused by the sound of a police car siren and thought it was the signal for a practice blackout. It is believed that a change will be made in police sirens to avoid this confusion. Both episodes prove that Livonians are on the alert and prepared to perform their duty, but also serve to re- mind the necessity for calmness and caution to observe blackout rules.
