Faced with the almost im- possible task of inspecting the tires of every motorist in the nation by January 31, the OPA has extended the date for hold- ers of "A" gasoline ration cards to March 31. Thereafter, holders of "A" cards must have their tires inspected once each six months. Holders of "B" and "C" cards have until February 28 to have tires inspected. Thereafter "B" ration card holders must have tires inspected once each four months. "C" card holders and owners of fleets who hold `bulk" cards must have their tires in- spected once each three months. It also has been learned that the ration boards will not give truck fire permits to truck own- ers, after February 1, unless they come with a certificate of war necessity. Like everywhere else, tire in- spections in Livonia have lag- ged. There were two reasons sug- gested for failure of motorists to have these inspections made. First, there were insufficient tire inspectors available, and second was the attitude of the people in "waiting until the last minute" to have the work done. 0 - W ill Hold ,Annual Venison Dinner February 3.

After preparing and serving the children's lunches, the girls made scrap books for the children to take home with them. Each girl took a diet test and was given a birth certificate and health round -up paper to fill out.

Bennett, president of the Plym- outh United Savings bank, calls attention to the fact that just one year ago next week the bank in- troduced the CheckMaster Plan in which anyone might have a checking account with no mini- mum balance ever required. "We have been greatly pleased at the response CheckMaster has found in our area," says Mr. Ben- nett. "Since January 28, 1942, we have opened over 400 new check- ing accounts in our CheckMaster department, which supplements our other checking account facil- ities. "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 account before have learned how indis- pensable one is in the modern world of todar. "The Plymouth United Sav- ings bank has always been glad to widen the circle of its service whenever the opportunity of- fered. We were, of course, .well aware of the necessity for the average man and woman to have a checking account, and we were indeed pleased to make checking facilities available to practically anyone through CheckMaster." CheckMaster was America's first and original no minimum balance checking account plan. In CheckMaster, a checking ac- count may be started with an in- itial deposit of any amount, even as little as $1, the depositor pay- ing only 5c for each check drawn and each item deposited. Check- books are free. Accounts may opened in per- son or .by mail and all banking done by mail thereafter if more convenient for the depositor. The Plymouth United Savings bank was founded more than a half -century ago, in 1890, and has resources of almost $3,000,000. The bank is a member of the Fed- eral Reserve System and Fed- eral Deposit Insurance Corpora= tion, with each account insured to $5,000. * Buy War Bonds * Good Materials are hard to buy, but as long as they are still available you'll find them on our shelves.

Extension of the present 16- day deer season and 21- or 22- day bird season would give week- end hunters a break and allow war workers to stagger their va- cation time saved for hunting. A month-long deer season begin- ning November 15 would allow considerable choice of weather. Under the recommended sched- ule an archer, if unsuccessful un- til the last day, could hunt deer 60 days from October 15, obtain- ing a gun license November 15 when his first license was unfill- ed. Such season extensions would not, it is said, increase the game kill, as lighter hunting pressure is anticipated during wartime. Simplification of the perma- nent duck blind law and liberal- ization of dog training regula- tions to permit night training of 'coon dogs also are being rec- ommended to the legislators' at- tention. For sport fishermen the com- mission recommends extension of CW - j "Z4.44L, MORE EGGS FOR DEFENSE with Larro Feeds for poultry.

Why the figure on alcoholic bev- erages is pretty close to a billion and a half dollars a year. Lucky thing we haven't got prohibition or the government would have to make up the money some other way. And there's only one answer to that—more taxes. You know what that would add up to?... about $25 more taxes a year for every man and woman in the country. In other words you and Sue would have to pay about $50 more in some form of tax.

It is a 24 hour `wartime operation deemed necessary to protect our soldiers and sailors from _ the Axis. Actually, the dictionary defines "excision— the act of cutting out or off," That is what happens to a lo- cal newspaper in transit from the publishing office to the home -town boys seeking news of the community in their far- off posts off duty. Postal cen- sors at Border Control Stations are obliged to use their scis- sors on all printed items which disclose troop movements and locations. The recipients are often puzzled about the clipped items. They usually assume it is something vital , deliberately kept from their eyes when it is nothing more than their exact addresses and unit identifica- tion. These government examiners know that a seemingly insig- nificant news item or a com- plete mailing address when considered alone is not impor- tant information to the Gen- eral Staff at Berlin or Tokyo. However, when these tiny pieces of military and naval data are pieced together the re- sulting mosaic provides a pret- ty good picture of the strength and weakness of American forces. Of course, Axis agents could probably obtain the vital information from other sources. It is not patriotic to hand them military data on -'a platter. One way to give the Postal Censors more time to detect more subtle information leaks is to delete data from troop movements at source—here at home. You've Tried the Rest; Now Use the Best .. .

Wolfe Livonia Township Clerk Wednesday, January 27, 1943 THE LIVONIAN Page S Flan No Change In Fishing Fee Legislature Not To Make Raise Michigan's popular hunting and fishing licenses .are not likely to change in price in the near future, since a review of Mich- igan rates in comparison with those of other states satisfied members of the conservation commission that the present scale is both equitable and at- tractive to the greatest number of sportsmen. All states now have resident and non-resident, fishing licenses and only three charge less than $1, while 10, including Michigan, are in the $1 class. Non-resident licenses range from $2 in Mich- igan, which does not discriminate heavily against a big and valu- able non-resident trade, to $7.50 in Delaware; 15 charge $3; it charge $5. If additional funds are needed; the conservation department ad- vises extending the resident rod license to Great Lakes waters and requiring women to pay the same fee as men. Only in Mich- igan are wives permitted to fish on the husband's license, yet ,Michigan, according to federal records, now sells more fishing licenses than any other state. Of 40 states selling comparable small game licenses, eight in- cluding Michigan charge $1; 32 charge more; the average is $2.15. Of 13 states selling com- parable deer licenses, six charge more, one besides Michigan charges $2.25, and five charge less. Michigan non-resident hunt- ing fees are lower than those of Minnesota or Wisconsin, higher than those of eastern states. Popularity of the present scale is indicated by the fact that Michigan's fees and hunting in- terest more persons per 1,000 population than do those of any other- state. A change in hunting fees is considered warranted, however, if revenue from the present scale should fall below what is needed to administer the state's investment in game af- fairs, or if sportsmen should re- quest additions to the present program which would require ad- ditional funds. —0— Women will make up 30 per- cent of the labor force in war in- dustries next year, it is estimated.

The first list of 201 internees whose names begin with A and B was received on November 21, 1942. The next list of 498 inter- nees, including names beginning B, C, D, and E was received on December 8th. The part of the list beginning with E is incom- plete. In addition, lists of 438 names of captured array officers in the Philippines had been re- ceived by December 12th. The prison camp in which these of- ficers are held is not given. It is hoped that additional lists will soon be received which will in- clude the names of all prisoners and internees in the islands. The Departmental agencies of the gov- ernment will notify the next of kin as rapidly as information becomes available." The International Red Cross committee announced recently that the S. S. Ambriz, one of 7 steamers operated by the Red Cross between Lisbon and Mar- seille, and Lisbon and Genoa, made the 100th voyage carrying prisoner of war supplies in the service which began in 1940. Two of the vessels carry supplies to Genoa for prisoners in Italian hands and the other five transport the material for men in German camps. In the month ending November 20, the American Red Cross re- ceived signed receipt cards for 21,157 food parcels which had been sent to identified U. S. Yugoslav, Polish, Norwegian, British, Dutch and French sol- diers. These receipts help to answer the oft -repeated question, "Do the prisoners really get their par- cels?" All inquiries concerning mes- sages to civilian internees in cap- tured countries and prisoner of war are sent through the Ameri- can Red Cross. Mrs. James W. Randell, Livonia 2983, committee chairman of home service, handles these messages in Livonia town- ship.

Shelton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks Shelton, 37886 Plymouth road, now home on a brief leave of absence from the navy. Elmer, a former Plymouth school student who enlisted in Uncle Sam's navy in June, 1940, was a carpenter's mate, second class, on the U. S. heavy cruiser, Northampton, sunk by a Jap torpedo some weeks ago while in action in the south Pacific. "While I was below Bieck, I know we got plenty of Jap transports before they got us. That old Northampton saw plenty of action and did plenty of damage to the Japs," Elmer declared yesterday. "I've been on that big cruiser ever since I joined the navy. We've been right out where there has been plenty of doings. "The night we were hit by the torpedo our ship had been doing plenty of firing. My station was way below deck and naturally I didn't see any of it, but of course we knew what was going on. "That one Jap torpedo that hit us seemed to do the busi- ness, but it was some three hours later before we were told to leave ship. "There was practically no loss of life on our cruiser. When we went overboard, everybody seem- ed to feel that we would be picked up. Sure enough it wasn't two hours before we saw boats coming to our rescue. "While I'm glad to be home, NEED MONEY?

We didn't have much chance to see any of the country over there, because we have been mighty busy out at sea most of the time in the last year," declared the youthful, Plymouth naval sailor. He will be home until the end of the present week when he expects to be assigned to some other navy fighter. His father is employed at the Kelsey -Hayes plant in Plymouth, helping to make machine guns with which to mow down the monkey -faced Japs. Best Ever County and school tax col- lections to January 10 totalled 92.9 percent of the total on the assessment rolls, according to City Treasurer Charles Gar - lett. Similar tax collections last year totalled 91 percent of the amount on the tax books. January 10 was the last date on which county and school taxes could be paid without a penalty. However, until March 1, these taxes may be paid at the city treasurer's office by payment of a four percent penalty. Total county tax collections to January 10 were $35,717.86. Total school tax collections were $48,791.94. After March 1, the tax rolls will be sent to the county treasurer in Detroit. When collected by the county treasurer, an extra one- half of one percent penalty is added for each month of delin- quency.
