The vote on the special proposal was 245 to 52 in favor of enactment. This will permit the regulation by the township board of the construction of new buildings in subdivisions of the township. Building plans will now be sub- mitted to the township board for approval before construction is started and a building inspector will issue permits for permanent township records. All incumbent township offi- cers were re-elected without op- position.. A total of 300 votes were cast in the township with the largest vote of 170 ballots re- corded at precinct 2 which in- cludes the Rosedale Gardens section. This was six times as many votes as were recorded in any other precinct. The complete tabulation of votes in each pre- cinct may be found on an inside page of The Livonian. Taxpayers' Group Holds Meeting Fred Bamsey Appeals for Police Volunteers Members of the Livonia Tax- payers' association heard reports on civilian defense organization, progress of the postoffice peti- tions and the proposed township zoning ordinance at the regular monthly meeting Wednesday evening. Fred Bamsey, coordinator of Livonia's civilian defense, an- nounced that 22 auxiliary police- men are enrolled in the first training course offered at the township hall each Sunday under the direction of Dallas Hay. The coordinator declared that at least 60 auxiliary police volunteers are needed in each of the town- ship's three defense districts and urged every resident who is not already enrolled in some branch of defense training to register for the auxiliary police service at once. There are 260 air raid wardens (Continued on Page 9) Auxiliary Police to Meet April 19 Training Class Will Feature Mock Trials Organization of Livonia's civ- ilian defense program is pro- gressing rapidly. The second class in auxiliary police training was held at the township hall Sunday evening with William Flanagan of the Wayne County Prosecutor's office as instructor. The next class on Sunday, April 19 at 7 o'clock in the township hall will feature two mock trials, with the Hon. Leo Nye, justice of the peace, pre- siding, and two prominent De- troit attorneys, Howard L. Phil- ippart and David Laughery pre- senting the cases. Members of the police class will act as de- fendants and witnesses. This mee-ting will be open to the public, and Livonia residents interested in attending are re- quested to phone Dallas Hay, chief auxiliary police Warden, at Livonia 1163 to make reserva- tions. This is necessary because of the limited seating capacity of the township hall in which to accommodate the auxiliary police volunteers. Livonia township has been referred to as the pioneer of civ- ilian defense in the out -county districts, and to help merit that distinction, we must have a fully trained auxiliary police force which can respond at a mo- ment's notice during a wartime emergency," declares Fred Bam-, sey, coordinator of Livonia's civ- ilian defense council. "If you haven't already regis- tered for civilian defense, there is still room for ,you with the auxiliary police, and also with the auxiliary firemen.

Church Dedicates New Parsonage Plans Two Special Services April 19 In two special services St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church at the corner of Farming- ton and Five Mile roads will ded- icate its new parsonage on Sun- daT, April 19. Pastor Theodore Sauer will preach the sermon in the morning service at 10:30 o'clock, while Pastor Kenneth Vertz of Detroit will be the, guest speaker in the afternoon service beginning at 2:30 o'clock. The dedication of this new dwelling marks an important day in the history of the congrega- tion. In former years when the church was served by a pastor from Wayne, there was no need for a parsonage. However, when Pastor Sauer was called early in 1941 it soon became apparent that it would be advisable to build a home for the pastor near the church. Plans were drawn up and construction was begun last summer. Wishing to obtain the best house possible with a given amount of money, the members decided to do most of the work themselves, hiring labor only for those things which they could not do themselves. The plan worked well. Practically every member helped in some way, making it possible to build a house with a value far above the amount actually spent. The house presents a pleasing appearance with its dark red brick exterior and white trim. The interior is well planned with seven large rooms and .bath. The parsonage will be open for in- spection between the morning and afternoon services. Plymouth, Michigan Club Completes Transit Survey Rosedale Civic Group Plans Open House A cooperative transportation system for residents of Rosedale Gardens has been completed .by a committee of the Rosedale Civic association under the di- rection of Fred VanDevender. At the regular monthly meeting of the association held at the Rose- dale community clubhouse Fri- day evening, details of the cen- sus survey for transportation were reported by the committee. The census survey of the sub- division which includes 400 cards reveals that there are 200 res- idents in the community willing to offer or trade rides in their automobiles. Anyone interested in obtaining cooperative trans- portation is asked to call Chair- man VanDevender. The Civic association reports 11 new members for a total mem- bership of 222 at present. The club also discussed plans to sponsor a .young people's group for those of .-junior and senior high school age. The club will sponsor an open house program at the clubhouse next Saturday, April 25 at 8:30 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Smale are in charge of the pro- gram which will feature old-time square and round dances. About 50 couples attended a dance at the clubhouse last Sat- urday evening. The committee members included Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Randall, Mr, and Mrs. Ed- win Conway and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. McKernan. Red Cross ivieeds W001 Blankets Blood Donor Mobile Unit to Visit June 9 Representatives of the Red Cross are collecting wool blankets for use in first aid casualty sta- tions. Donald C. Ryder, disaster relief chairman for the township, requests the loan of single -size blankets for cots and stretchers.

Persons willing to loan blankets for this use are asked to call Red Cross headquarters at Hope Chapel. The date announced for the next visit of the Red Cross mobile unit for blood donations is June 9 at the Rosedale Gardens com- munity clubhouse. Mrs.: Jesse Ziegler, chairman of the blood donor program, announces there - are now 168 applicants registered for the June visit.

We haven't heard much of him lately. We sure feel sorry for Bill K. He surely has his troubles! Betty Jo certainly enjoys her- self when she goes skating, doesn't she? It sounds like Tom is in the dog-hause again, but we doubt if he stays there long. He never does! Wonder why Ruth has been so dreamy lately? This couldn't have any connection with ... or could it? "Shorty" Wixom is going to burst a blood vessel if he doesn't calm down on the bus. June always seems to pick on Farmington. Would it be from force of habit? Dickie seems to prefer cave- man style. Don't we all? There seems to have been some differences of opinion in regard to our "perfect" Livonia girl and boy selections recently so here are some other sugges- tions: The perfect girl would have Elaine M.'s hair and eyes, Jacquelyn O.'s height and vital- ity, Ruth C.'s figure and features, Joyce M.'s personality and Rose- mary K.'s money (if that's nec- essary). The perfect ;boy would have Bill K.'s hair and vitality, Tom V.'s height and eyes, Dick S.'s good looks, Bill K.'s perso- nality and Ronald D.'s money. 0 Every time you get your pay, buy Bonds and Stamps for the U.

The petitions for a Livonia postoffice will be pre- sented to Representative George A. Dondero as soon as all are signed and filed with the com- mittee. Everyone interested in improved postal service in the township is urged to sign the petitions which have been placed in gas stations throughout the districts; at Hope Chapel and at the township hall. It is hoped that the petitions may be submit- ted to Washington within a month. William Fenske, member of the township zoning committee, explained the purposes of the proposed zoning ordinance which is expected to take effect within a month following the close of public hearings. He also explain- ed the effects of the building code proposal which was approved by the voters, in Monday's election.

In striving to furnish the best possible service at the lowest cost, we have constantly sought new methods of achieving more efficient operation. The economies we have made— through salvage and in other ways—have been passed on to our customers in the form of lower electric rates. Aluminum is not the only metal needed in the con- struction of fighting planes. One type of bomber re- quires more than two miles of copper wire to "keep it flying." Another needs 500 pounds of copper per plane . a quarter of a ton of the metal. Last year The Detroit Edison Company's Salvage Division reclaimed 1,908,395 pounds of copper—enough for 3,816 bombers. The Company also salvaged 1,358,193 pounds of lead ... and various other metals such as scrap iron, alum- inum, brass, zinc, etc. During the coming months, Detroit Edison service will undoubtedly be restricted in several ways, because so much of it will be needed by the government for the war effort. With rubber tires, cars, etc. being rationed, we are adjusting our work to meet wartime conditions. Because we have no priority rating on tires for delivery trucks or the ordinary light cars with which we do most of our business, you may be inconvenienced to a certain extent. But emergency service—storm, wires down, etc.—will be handled as promptly as ever. On other types of service -where you may have to wait a little longer—we ask your patience.
