In connection with phoning for the Fire Department please bear in mind that the department is at your, service for the protec- tion of your, home when you think you need it at no extra expense to you. It has been said that there are residents of Li- vonia township that have hesi- tated in calling the department because they thought there was an extra chargee involved and that a fee was charged for a fire call by the department. This, however, is riot the case -- the Livonia department will res- pond to any call for fire appa- ratus or respirator within the boundaries of the center line of Eckles road, Six Mile road, Ink- ster road and Joy road without .any extra payment other than that part of your taxes that ccv- ers fire protection. So let us say again—In case of fire call Li- vonia 2-555. The Livonia fire department ushered out the old year by be- ing called to 'extinguish a blaze in the home of 1dlr. Stanley Coon; 9925 Melrose avenue, Rosedale Gardens, :at 12:30 p.m., Decem ber . 31st—hot ashes emptied into a coal bin was the cause of the fire—had.. the department not been so conveniently located three blocks away, serious dam- age_ might have resulted.

Occupational Blanks It has come to the attention of the Plymouth Induction board that there are some delinquencies in the returning of the occupa- tional questionnaires. It is very essential that this occupational questionnaire be returned to the local board office at once, com- pletely filled out in ink. This information is required by the Selective Service System as well as the United States Em- ployment Service, also by the War Manpower board. In case a registrant has lost or mislaid his questionnaire he should call at the local board re- questing a new form. The most profound joy has more of gravity than of gaiety in it.—Montaigne.

Page 4 THE LIVONIAN Wednesdays-: January 43, 1943 Red Cross News Red Cross services to the men of our armed forces had .:its -be- ginning as early as 1916 when the National Guard was called into service for duty on the Mexican border. -Red Cross chapters quick- ly organized their resources to meet the needs of dependent fam- ilies of guardsmen. A year later, upon the entry of the United States into the first world war, Red Cross services to the men of the armed forces .and their families developed on a nationwide scale. Military lead- ers, asking for assistance in deal- ing with multitude of personal and family problems of service men, found the Red Cross quick to respond. Field directorswere assigned to army and naval stations in this country and abroad. Red Cross medical social workers and rec- reational assistants were added to the staffs of army and naval hospitals. A claims service was created to assist hundreds of thousands of service men and their families in obtaining the various government benefits to which they were entitled. Within the next year, Red Cross chapters had extended their ser- vices into almost every city, town, village and rural area in -the United States. In the camps, ov- erseas, on the home front, thous- ands of Red Cross workers were devoting their energies to re- lieving the sufferings of war' and promoting post war human re- construction. Since 1918, these services have been continually maintained. Today's great military expan- sion has called upon the Red Cross to expand its resources to meet the human needs of service men and their families. To co- ordinate the tremendously in- creased work of the Red Cross in behalf of these -men, a new service called "Services to the armed forces," has been estab- lished. Under this title are grouped military and naval cvel fare service, home servicei in - special services as they relate FUEL OIL • We Aim to Please" Phone Your Order to 191 Northville Night Calls Phone 68 C.

Once this coordination of Red Cross resources was determined upon, Services to the Armed Forces quickly girded for its task. Budget and Staff were greatly. increased.

And there is no indication when they will be received. Frank Rambo, manager of the Plymouth branch of the secretary of state's office, said that he had received no information as to the delay. Neither, he said, had he been informed as to the cause of the delay. However, it was learned from authoritative sources that a shortage of steel, and war work at the state prison where the plates are manufactured, have had a bearing on the situation. It is presumed that small strips to cover the date on present plates; will be issued this year. It is probable, but not at all cer- tain, that they will be a differ- ent color from the green and white plates now in use. Persons who purchased half year plates last year were issued covering strips for the original issue this year. Mr. Rambo said that normally a large number of persons had purchased their plates by this time. While they are good until March 1, the plates actually are issued for the period between January 1 .and December 31. 0 Township Briefs (Contz-nued from nage 1) Mr. and rsrs.

Wednesday, January 13, 1943 THE LIVONIAN Page 5 Rationing -Board' ' Chairman Warne Auto Drivers Tire Inspection Is Necessary During Present Month This is a warning. It is a warning issued by William Wood, chairman of the _local price and rationing board and failure to heed the warning will result in drastic steps. Despite the fact that there are 17 garages and filling sta- tions licensed to inspect tires, a comparatively few residents of Plymouth have had such an inspection made. Now, here is the warning: If said tire inspection is not made on or before January 31, it is likely that all gasoline ration books will be revoked. With only a small percentage of motorists registered as having completed their tire inspection, Mr. Wood was advised by the Office of Price Administration in Washington, to let the public know that drastic steps will fol- low failure to comply with this phase of the National Mileage Rationing program, which is de- signed to save rubber and pre -serve essential transportation. Commercial vehicle tires must be inspected on or before January 15. Thereafter a new inspection must be made on commercial vehicles at least once every 60 days, or every 5,000 miles, which ever occurs first. In the case of pleasure. vehicle motorists, those with "A" ration cards must have their tires in- spected once every four months, such inspections to be at least two months apart. Holders of "B" and "C" ra- tioning books must have inspec- tions made twice as often as the "A" motorists. That is, they must have inspections made every two months, at least a month apart. .Mr. Wood predicted that unless motorists take immediate advan- tage of the lull in tire inspections, there will be a terrific jam at in- spection stations near the end of the month. He .pointed out that it- might require waiting in fine for hours to get the final inspec- tion. Approximately 4,000 tire in- spectors.have been authorized in the state, 1,000 of them in Wayne county. But even with this great num- ber, Mr. Wood said, it will be quite impossible for the 17 tire inspectors to handle jams if and when they occur. Revocation of gasoline and .all other ration books will fol low failure to have the tire in- spection. The inspection charge is set by the OPA at 25 cents for all five tires, but an additional charge of 50 cents .per tire may be made by the inspector if it is necessary to remove the tires.

Actual tests made in industrial plants show that the theory really works: produc- tion is increased, errors are cut to a minimum, and improved vision greatly reduces accident hazards. How is all this accomplished? First, by removing the solid drab color that cloaks most factory machines — the monotonous dull green or gray or black that blends into a solid mass and "camou- flages" the ,working areas from the worker's eyes. (Painting the "danger area" a lighter color provides sharp contrast between the machine and the metal being fabricated.)

Principal Claude Dykhouse es- timated that 45 senior boys al ready have registered under the Selective Service Act. None of these youths have :been called for induction up to this time, and it is not likely that any will be `called before the end of the "present semester, which ends January 29.

H. Gordon, A Jap Prisoner s JACK GORDON The war department has definitely established the fact that this former Plymouth high school boy is now a prisoner of the Japs. He was reported last May as missing in action on Bataan Peninsula. who was reported last May as missing in action on Bataan peninsula, is held a prisoner by the Japanese, according to in- formation which has just been sent to his parents by the war department. In a letter to The 'Plymouth Mail, Dr. Gordon, now a res- ident of Edmore, states that the war department has def- initely established the fact that Jack is alive and is held in a prison camp somewhere in the Philippines. Jack enlisted in the United States Marines in 1940 and fol- lowing a period of training in California, he was in one of the very early army forces sent to the Philippines. From such news as could be patched together about the mil- itary operations in the Philip- pines, Jack saw plenty of front line action from the day that the Japs invaded the inlands until General Wainwright sur- rendered his, badly depleted forces. IRVING THEATRE News of the safety of Jack gives hope that possibly Joe Mer- ritt, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Merritt, also reported missing in action about the same time that Jack was reported lost, might, too, be held a prisoner by the Japs.
