W. Whiteley November con- struction hits an all time high for the township. Present figures show that there is at least $265,- 000.00 of building now under. way. One of the largest items in this figures is accounted for by the 27 new $5,000.00 homes now being started by the New Detroit Building Company on -Plymouth road. Although the figuure is a new high for the building department if the contemplated building in December goes through on schedule the last month in this year will be greater than No- vember. ovember.

One of the heavy burdens the ,physician has to carry and which not only costs him the loss of much needed rest but also often costs the patient needless ex- pense, is the failure of many peo- ple to know how to call a doctor. He is anxious to serve his pa- tients efficiently, and he can if they will co-operate with him and place their calls properly. The doctor needs rest just as ev- eryone else does and, while he is eager to respond to necessary nig�xt calls, experience has taught him that 90 percent of them are unnecessary. Don't call at night without at least describing . the situation clearly, thus giving the doctor a choice of delaying his call if it appears safe. During the day an- ticipate a .possible restless night and call early. Don't insist that the doctor come "right away" for every call as he may have others to make, too. If he is not in when the call is made, leave enough in- formation to guide him on what to do, and he will not fail. When calling it is always safer to give some pertinent date about the Nobody e v er accomplished anything who was half-hearted, and that's why it was so hearten- ing when his nation threw its full might, without a single res- ervation, into this war.

The Home Front in Michigan The Michigan coffee -lover, be- ginning with breakfast on last Sunday, November 29, new faces the world on about a cup a day. Starting on that day, stamp No. 27 in your War Ration book— the ibook you use to get sugar— will entitle you and each mem- ber of your family over 14 years old to one .pound of coffee. This will have to last you for five weeks. Most of the rubs applied to sugar rationing will apply also to coffee. The main exception is that you will not be able to get coffee with coupons from the books of your children 14 years old or younger. And you :prob- ably will want to take care of your coffee purchases differently than you have sugar. Most wo- men are :accustomed' to buying sugar in large auanti.ties, but ,coffee loses its flavor and fresh- ness and should be bought a pound or two at a time. Advice to Christmas shoppers from the Office of Defense Trans- portation! Carry your packages home ;with you (store delivery has been cut 25 per cent under last year), but carry them on buses and street cars during off- peak hours between 10 a.m. and 4 :p.m. In cases of purchases that cannot 'be carried, do your shop- ping immediately. Avoid the all- time record crush anticipated for mid-December. Kitchen gadgets are out for the duration. The War Production Board has ordered. that bare es- sentials must be the rule, which eliminates most of the varied and colorful array of metal gad- gets, cooking utensils and house- wares that in recent years have characterized the American home and kitchen. Price reductions are always good news—and here's; a report of them from the Office of Price Administration. The cost of knit- ted underwear is expected to- drop odrop from three to 20 cents per garment under an OPA order re- quiring that savings in material costs of these garments due to necessary war -time substitutions of less expensive carded yarn for combed yarn be passed on to the consumer. To prevent a critical heating oli shortage in lower Michigan and to insure .adequate deliveries pending further study into price structures, OPIA has just estab- lished new ceilings on distillate fuel oil for both tank wagon and refineries in this territory. Gen- erally, the new ceilings are one- half cent higher per gallon. The '43 garden season is a long way off—but Victory gardeners are advised by WPB that suffi- cient supplies of insecticides for next year will ,be assured. Old jokes about the ice man may start popping up again soon. With curtailment of production of mechanical refrigerators, ice cards probably will start making their appearance in windows again.

How Tb Get Your Deer Hides to Army Pressed with offers of free deer hides hunters want to donate for war uses, the conservation depart- ment 'this week declared it can- not accept the hides directly, but again urged making them avail- able through the regular estab- lished trade chapels, to meet war- time needs. Quickest woy for a hunter to dispose of his deer hide is to call the local hide and fur buyer— and there is one such buyer in al- most every town. Prices are low, but at a dollar or so they compen- sate the hunter for the trouble he takes to deliver the skin. Both the War department and the War Production board have said armed forces have definite need for deer hides, particularly since Asiatic and South .American imports formerly depended upon have been curtailed. The federal Fish and Wildlife service has been definitely assured the hide and leather trade will pick up the deer skins and see that they are properly channeled to tanners and manufacturers. Many states besides Michigan are cooperating in the drive to deliver this ma- terial needed especially by our arctic troops. It has been estimated that 82 per cent of Americans normally get to their jobs in automobiles. Dr. nuffi WWI Be P.T.A.
