What better Christmas gift eduld you give our men in the armed forces? This blood given without in- jury to yourself can be converted into dry blood plazma which makes emergency transfusions possible. The lives of our fighting men suffering from shock resulting from injuries, burns and hem- orrhage, are often saved by such a transfusion. We can not afford to deny them this salvation. The deman grows greater day by day therefore we must have more new donors. Come, do your bit for the men who are doing so. much for you. The next blood bank will be held at the Wilcox school, Mid- dlebelt road near Six Mile road on Monday, December 21 at 2 p. in. to 8 P.M. If you are unable to furnish your own transportation call Li vonia 2012 on Monday morning to arrange for the motor corps to call for you.

H. Caldwell, 16700 Savoie Boulevard, Wednesday evening at 9:30 p.m. The fire was discovered while the car was still in the garage, how- ever. Neighbors assisted in push- ing the car into the driveway and upon the arrival of the fire de- partment, possibility of saving the car was out of the question. However, no damage was-, done to either the adjacent garage or home. Just to break the every day hum drum of the fire depart- ment a request was made to re- trieve a cat which had climbed a pole at the corner of Stark road and Ann Arbor Trail. It is re- quested by the. fire department that in the future other methods be used to entice your wayward "mouser back to it's saucer of milk and the .above rescue is not to be construed as setting up a precedent for the future as no further runs of fthis kind will be made by the department.

Knickerbocker, vice pres- ident of Farmington State Bank, calls attention to the fact that just one year ago next week the bank introduced the CheckMaster Plan in which anyone might have a checking account with no minimum balance ever required. "We have been greatly pleased at the response CheckMaster has found in our area," says Mr. Knickerbocker. "Since December 15, 1941, we have opened hun- dreds of new checking accounts in our CheckMaster department, which supplements our other checking facilities. "Our CheckMaster depositors come from every walk of life, and we regard them as valued customers of our institution. We know that they have found their accounts most useful; and those who never had a checking ac- count before have learned hoer indispensable one is in the mod- ern world of today. "The Farmington State Bank has always been glad to widen the circle of its service whenever the opportunity appeared.

CheckMaster was America's first and original no minimum balance checking account plan. In CheckMaster, a checking account may be started with an initial deposit of any amount, even as little as $1.00, the depositor pay- ing only 5 cents for each check drawn and eac hitem deposited. Checkbooks are free. Accounts may be opened in person or by mail and all bank- ing done by mail thereafter if more convenient for the deposi- tor. The Farmington State Bank has resources exceeding $2,400,000. The bank is a member of the Fed- eral Reserve System and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, with each account insured to $5,000.00. Clarifies Use of Fuel Oil Books Users Told How To Get Most Benefit Raymond Bacheldor, secretary of the Plymouth rationing board states that there is a bit of con- fusion relative to fuel oil coupons. He :points out that the .one unit coupon of fuel oil is good for 10 gallons of fuel oil. The coupons marked one and five are change coupons and good for one and five gallons as marked. The five heating periods are as follows: First period—October 1 to Nov- ember 29. Second period—November 29 to January 6. Third period—January 6 to February 8. Fourth period -February 8 to March 17. Fifth period—March 17 to September 30. The different period coupons can be used for two weeks into the next .period if needed, or two weeks back. Number two period coupons are now good for 10 gal- lons apiece. Appeals for more oil for sick- ness, old age, etc. will be taken care of after the first of the year. Mr. and Mrs. E. L.

Spirit of Christmas is mani- fest by decorations, a miniature Christmas tree brought by Helen Knickerbocker, a lovely Christ- mas cactus in full bloom, and a general feeling of good will and cooperation. Many songs have been learned about Santa and the Baby Jesus. A Christmas party is being planned for Wednesday, De- cember 23, 1942. Third Grade The third grade children have planned .a Christmas party. They drew names. We are planning to have a Christmas tree also. Bobby Hutton has left. Gail Cole is ill with bronchitis. The children and Mrs. Ander- son had an interesting safety talk Monday at school. Fourth Grade The fourth grade has just com- pleted a study of the Congo basin. We are moving northward toward the Sahara desert where we be- gin our study of desert life. This will be interesting to us as we know that our American soldiers are stationed north of this area. We expect to learn about the places where they are now living. In reading we are learning about ships of long ago and mod- ern ships. Several of the pupils want to make scrap books show- ing all kinds of ships. The Greek, Roman and Egyptian ships of long ago interest us very much. We have two new gold. fish. As yet we haven't named them. Miss Isham showed us her blooming Christmas cactus. We are having half day ses- sions now. The third graders come in the morning. We begin school at twelve -thirty. Jimmy McCarn brought a co- coanut to school. It has been carved to look like an Indian. He is very funny. Joe Vorbeck and Richard Gra- ham made some nice pictures by using the burnt wood idea. Richard Graham came back to Pierson last month. He left here when he was in the second grade. We are glad he is back with us. We have been selling Christmas seals this past week. The boys are planning to draw airplanes to send to the Weekly Reader. Our plans for the Christmas party were completed at our C. J.C. meeting last week. We ex- changed names. Our room is be- ginning to look Christmasy. We shall have our tree on Decem- ber 21. Then we plan to decorate it. Seventh and Eighth Grades Patrol boys and safety squad girls have been changed for this quarter. The new boys and girls are at their posts regularly and we are doing .a fine job. i TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS: Electricity is one of the cheapest things the house- wife can buy because the price has been reduced so often and so much. You probably haven't got an electric bill dated twenty-five years ago, but the records show that electricity cost 5.87 cents then; and now it is only 3.16 cents. Almost half price. There have been many rate reductions in twenty-five years. Most .other prices have gone up. Food, clothing, taxes, trans- portation. If your husband rides to work on the street car he may have heard that twenty-five years ago he could have bought seven tickets for a quarter. In 1917 the Detroit tax rate was 13.81—this year it is '$28.97. I used to have an "Ingersoll Dollar Watch" that kept fairly good time, but you can't get a dollar watch now. And you know how much less a y$5 bill will buy in rent, round steak or clothes. The price of electricity is low. If other things cost as little, the cost of -living would be half what it is.
