Chief Gives Fire warning The Livonia fire department was called to extinguish a fire Tuesday afternoon in the home of James Dakota at Plymouth and Farmington roads, originat- ing from an overheated furnace, the fire destroyed the stairway and a portion of the interior of the home. Chief Roberts and, three other, firemen; did excellent work in confining the fire to a small area, resulting in keeping e riman and Chicago boulevard, owned by the Shelden: Land company, -called :the department out again at 11:45 p.m. .Quick work by the department kept the loss at a minimum. The barn has t been unoccupied for some time ,and it is thought the fire orig- inated by someone smoking in Il the loft. There was practically e no damage. It might. be in order at this n time to suggest .to all readers t that with the winter coming on s ,and the greater possibilities of overheated furnaces, stoves and f brooder heaters, etc., that when a fire is detected NO MATTER HOW SMALL, even if you think _ you can extinguish it,.caii the fire department FIRST -and have them on the way because you may not be able to put out the -fire and while you are trying var- ious methods to do this the de- partment is :g:eratiy helped in re- ducing the loss by having those extra minutes that may be last if you try everything first and then call them, and :bolo, in many places e in the township the fire is too far 5 'away from a hydrant to lay a As _hose !and :the department must o rely on the 300 gallons of water _ that are carried on the. truck to extinguish the blaze. If valuable minutes have been lost_ in getting the department to the scene of the fire, it greatly leessens the chance ;of getting ,the fire under control, consequently resulting in a total loss, where if the depart- ment is called in time, they may save your home for you to use -- this this winter. Remember, call the Fire Department first, LIVONIA 2111, then try and put out the fire yourself or wait for the ar- rival and guide them to the fire. It will save many dollars and maybe a life. a s nursing ter t ant o the fire from totally destroying Wayne county.

The can- vass is being made under the direction of Dallas Hay, the head ,of the police force. Canvassers will call .at each home and fill out blanks in re- gard to the number of people that drive each day, where they drive and the time that .they drive. Af- ter the canvass is over, a class- ification; will be made for each registrant and it is hoped that many .people will be able to share their rides, thus saving tires and gasoline. 0 Burned when Stove Explodes L. O, Berry, proprietor of the Farmers' Market and Berry's Chicken Shack on Plymouth road, returned' home yesterday from Eloise hospital where : he has been confined the last week, suffering from burns received when a kerosene stove exploded. The stove, in Mr. Berry's apartment -over the store, explod- ed and set two beds on fire.. In fighting the flames Mr. Berry was badly burned about the face, hands ,asd arms. Through Mr. Berry's efforts the flames were extinguished ,and damage was kept at a minimum. More Sleep For School Children - Classes to Start Half Hour Later In. accordance with the resolu- tion passed by the board of edu- cation, the Plymouth schools will open at 9:00 a.m., instead of 8:30 a.m., begining November 1 and Contin ing :through the winter. Adjustmentis will be made in the bus schedules for the later hour of opening. It is also agreed with the bus company that on days when the boys leave for the service, the bus will pick up the children one-half hour earlier, which will mean one-half hour wait for the children at the school before classes begin. This is a necessity in which, all will gladly join, because transporta- tion in the war effort comes first. —0— Now a monument under the care of the Canadian government, historic Fort Chambly, on the banks of the Richelieu .river in the Province of Quebec, was once in American hands. In 1776 Mont- gomery captured the fort on his march to Montreal in the War of Independence. The bast scrap drive held in the township proved so successful that defense authorities are al- ready making plans to hold an- other round -up in the very neo future. Although the date .has no yet been set Co -commanders Wolfe and Tucker are urging Li- vonia residents to start saving a materials that can be used in th war effort for the next collection. Special attention will be give to the farms in the township a the next collection since it has been reported that there are still many thousands of ;pounds o scrap to be turned in. Complete information about the next drive will be published in the next is- sue s sue of the Livonian. o— woman's Club Meets Thursday .

Why not small heaters in every room, or an electric furnace in the. basement?" In a nutshell, the answer is this: Electric heat is prac- tical in a SMALL SPACE (such as a bathroom) for a SHORT TIME (one or two hours' use per day). But at present it is not economical for heating for long periods or for large rooms. And it is NOT an economical means of providing additional heat to raise the temperature from 65 to 70 degrees throughout your entire house. There are several reasons why this is so. First, electric heat is highly refined heat made from coal, and a great deal of heat is lost in the process. If you had 5 tons of coal to turn into electric heat, the heat of 4 tons of coal would be lost in the change -over, and the heat equivalent of only ONE TON would be delivered to your home. The most efficient electric power plants today can extract in the form of refined electric heat about 20 per cent of the heat originally in the coal. But if you burn the coal in your furnace, you can extract 50 to 60 per cent of its crude heat in useful warmth. Second, electricity must be made the instant it is being used and on cold days each home would require about 80 times as much as it uses normally. The extra power plant equipment to produce enough electricity to heat houses on a cold day would be partly idle on a warmer day; and it would be completely idle all summer. But the expense would continue the year round, and to cover this all -year expense, the cost of electricity would be high. All the above pertains to house heating. Elec- tricity is, of course, highly economical for steadier uses like water heating, cooking or other uses of refined heat requiring closer control. THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY it Wednesday, November 4, 1942 Township Briefs (Continued from page 1) school will meet at the school on Wednesday (today), November 4, at 8 p.m. Mrs. Chester Tuck will be the guest speaker and will discuss "The Objectives of PTA Work." A good attendance is re- quested. An interesting meeting is plan- ned for the Pierson P.T.A. for November 19. It is to be held a week early because of gas ration- ing. •In order to conserve gas it is suggested that walking is pa- triotic and healthful and if any- one drives to be sure and fill their cars.

We colored a picture for the poem. We got our phrase and word cards for our reading book, "Nip and Tuck." We like them very much. Fifth and Sixth Grades We are going to have our an- nual Hallowe'en party this Sat- urday, October 31. . Miss Jamison visited us Tues- day morning. She told us that we were getting along good. We are making a Pilgrim scene, using real log cabins made of twigs. We are making Pilgrims going to church. We are packing Christmas boxes for soldiers. They are bro- thers of children in our room. Last week we bought $4.45 worth of defense stamps in our room. 0 Ask Deer Hunters To Save Fat Possible To Provide Many Tons For Army Michigan deer hunters could contribute 150 tons of fats for the manufacture of explosives if six pounds of fat from each of 50,- 000 deer was salvaged, and the Michigan Salvage committee is already preparing to set up col- lection facilities. As tentatively proposed, the collection system would begin with the individual hunter, who would be urged to save kidney and other fat ordinarily discard- ed when deer are dressed out, and put it in a paper sack. More raw fat from the back becomes avail- able when the carcass is cut up. These raw fats may be collected by sportsmen's clubs and de- posited in fats depots established by county salvage committees in cold storage plants. From these depots it would be collected and taken to rendering plants in De- troit, Coldwater, Kalamazoo, Mt. Pleasant, Holland, Marshall, Green Bay and Chicago. The state conservation depart- ment has found there is no legal impediment to disposing of deer fat in this fashion, and is plan- ning to advise trappers to turn in ordinarily discarded carcasses of fur bearers, for rendering in. the same fashion. Cooked fats from game may be sold along with other kitchen greases to the local meat dealers, department officials say. 0 A recent survey made by the National Tuberculosis Association showed that 46 per cent of the people still hold the mistaken be- lief that tuberculsosis is inherit- ed. No baby is born with tubercu- losis. The disease is spread by germs from the sick to the well. One could never get better food and better clothes .,than we are provided. We have everything we want to at, :and more, too," says Joe.

They made little . booklets about their stories—one .picture for each sen- tence of the story. They printed the story, and made covers for :their books. These books were on _exhibition in the room for a week. Mr, Markham, Sandra's father, found a salamander and Sandra brought it to school. It led to an interesting discussion of how an- imals prepare for winter. Winter homes of trutles, caterpillars, bears, muskrats; and birds have been studied. . The second graders have been making booklets of a story that they wrote themselves. It is call- ed "Our Walk," and was written when they returned from a !hike to the woods. The children drew pictures and printed the story. Then they made covers for the book. Third and Fourth Grades The third graders are studying Indian tribes of the United States. We made a map of the United States showing where different tribes live. Some children have made free hand drawings of In- dian homes, boats, and the kinds of work the Indians do. The fourth graders have start- ed on a trip "around the world." At present we are visiting the Amazon river basin. We have learned very much about the rubber plantations in Brazil. Our room had a nature study hike and weiner roast on Thurs- day, October 8. We went to Charles Kremkow's woods for our hike.
