Par- ticipating in the regional test with 41 counties of southern Michigan will be portions of Ill- inois and Wisconsin which com- prise the Sixth Civilian Defense region. Livonia township, in coopera- tion with Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, has staged three previous blackout tests and now has a trained personnei of more than 350 civilian defense volunteers. All members of the township civilian defense corps are to report to their assigned stations at the sound of the warning siren ; t 10:57 o'clock. The blackout will be enforced for 30 minutes from 11 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Air raid wardens will patrol business and residential sectors to report violations and auxiliary policemen will patrol streets and highways. All highway a n d traffic lights will be turned out and no traffic is to move on the streets. The only exceptions to the blackout regulations will be railxoad warning signals and war production plants. "This is a big assignment, but I have no doubt that we can handle it without difficulty," comments Lt. Col. Harold A. Furlong, administrator of the Michigan Council of Defense. Expressing the same confidence was Captain Donald S. Leonard, state commander of the citizens - defense corps, who points out that to date Michigan has staged 186 blackouts successfully. Li- vonia defense officials urge the patriotic cooperation of all cit- izens to assure Livonia's success and wholehearted support. for the blackout. 0 Motor Corps to Start Now Class Unit Appoints New Assisting Officers The appointment of assisting officers and the start of new fall classes were announced at a meeting of the Livonia Red Cross motor corps recently by Sergeant Grace Middlewood.

Cooper District Buys School Land Votes To Furnish Free Textbooks Cooper district's school board voted at a special meeting last Monday night to purchase ap- proximately two acres of land adjoining the present school site and approved an appropriation of $1,000 for the land purchase. More than 100 members of the school district attended the meet- ing. The Cooper school board plans to renew its request for a federal grant to build a new building an- nex on the newly -acquired prop- erty as soon as the present school reaches a 100 per cent overload of students. It is expected that this fall's enrollment will place the Cooper school in the 100 per- cent overload classification which will make the district eligible for application for a federal building grant. The parents also voted to co- operate with the school board in providing free textbooks for all school children for the first time. Children are asked to re- turn textbooks used last year before the opening of school this fall. The matter of the purchase of a school bus for the district was tabled pending school board study of the question. It's common sense to be thrifty. If you save you are thrifty.

ELY & SONS e on taking care of your ELECTRIC RANGE "Take good care of the things you have," reads the U. S. Government's Consumer's Pledge—and this applies with special force to many things that are irre- placeable. Your electric range must last for the dura- tion, and to help you use it carefully and wisely, these few suggestions are offered: (1) Never use a stiff brush or sharp instrument to remove spilled food from heating elements. Food spilled on open surface units should be burned off. (Avoid letting spilled food dry or harden on the range.) (2) Roasting or broiling meat in the oven deposits grease on the oven walls. When cool, wipe the inside of the oven with a damp cloth. This should be done each time after use. (3) Wash outside of range with warm soapy water. On most ranges with closed -type surface units, these may be raised up so that the pan underneath can be removed for cleaning. Check manufacturer's directions. (4) Ventilate your oven after each baking operation by leaving the door ajar.. By following these simple rules, you will be giving your .electric range the care it deserves, and your pre- caution may help to avert a possible breakdown or damage.

Farmers Raise Stock For Bonds Here Is Real Idea To Help War a Farmers of Wayne county and the surrounding territory will be invited to join a "Victory Live- stock Club" in which they will earmark one calf, hog, lamb or any other animal to be convert- ed onverted into war bonds or stamps at the end of the 'eeding period. The "Victory Livestock Club" is under the auspices of the Ad- rian Production C`iedit Associa- tion, a farmers cooperative or- ganization advancing credit for agricultural purposes in Monroe, A. E. Anderson, vice president, of Adrian, Bert Merritt of Belle- ville, D. T. Mellott of Morenci and E. P. Hellner of Ann Arbor ;have started the ball rolling by pledging ; one animal each. H. F. Johnston, secretary -treasurer ad- vises that the association will carry out the club plan through correspondence with its 418 mem- bers and by every other means in order to interest every possible farmer in this territory. The plan is conceived as a pa- triotic gesture which will con- tribute a tremendous sum of money to the nation's war effort. ".Victory Livestock Clubs" orig- inated in the South, but the plan has captured the imagination of farm organizations and h a s spread throughout the country. All farmers are asked to join the club. They may do so by no- tifying the Adrian office of the association or contacting any one a handsome young ice. man, Jack Frost, Said—"War is a terrible cost, And yet it's far littler Than bowing to Hitler And letting our Freedom be lost!"
