The fire was quickly extinguished with the three hundred gallons of water carried on the truck, together With some extra water that was made .available by attaching a small garden hose. from the house supply to the booster tank. All perscons who maintain brood- er throughout the township should make careful inspection to see that connections and working parts appertaining to the heating of the many brooders are in good order as it seems that the majority of the fires at this time of year seem to be of the overheating type, Fire of unknown origin des- troyed the home of Ralph Mosson, 9034 Cardwell avenue_ at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, February 2. Huge clouds of smoke hampered work by. hiding the seat of the fire which seemed to be In every section of the house. Able assis- tance was rendered by members of the local auxiliary firemen in the neighborhood.. The department wishes to thank the kind neighbors who furnished hot coffee to the firemen. Also the fire department wishes the per- son who took a pair of fireman's boots from the scene of the fire, by mistake, together with a pair of shoes, would please return r them to the fire house, as it is practically impossible to replace them during these times. . 0 Founder's Day Dinner A Success Over 60 persons attended the Founder's Day -dinner of the Rosedale PTA held at the club house in Rosedale Gardens on Wednesday, February 3. Rev. Forsyth gave the .Invoca- tion and after the dinner, he in- troduced Mrs. Lester Bookout who played "Waltz of the Flow- ers" from the Nutcracker Suite by Tschaikowsky and the theme from Greig's Concerto in B flat Minor.

Mr. Brake's 'subject was "Our Child- ren, God Bless Them," and `he pointed out that all, children 'in the world are our children and .that they should_ be educated for the peace that is to come after the war is over and not entirely for war. Very few people are good econ- omists of their fortune, and still fewer of their time. -Chester- field. Capt. James W. Snyder, U.

Plan Victory Gardens Here Plans. -are under way in this township to enter- whole-heart- edly into Uncle --Sam's victory garden program next spring. A committee is being formulated which will .launch the program in the very near future. Under the victory garden plan all vacant property should be plantedin gardens to help pro- duce more food for this nation and its allies next fall. Sub com- mittees will .furnish information t6 local residents who desire to have gardens, on where property -is available for then- and other committees will give directions on planting and the best ways to get results with a garden after it has been planted. More complete details of the function of the commitee will be announced in the near future through these columns. Tomorrow (Thursday), Febru- ray 11, the Women's club of,the Rosedale .Gardens Civic associa- tion will have a Valentine Card party at the club house at 8:30 p.m. Mrs. Henry Bock and Mrs. Irving E. R.

Mrs. Whipple was sched- uled to speak last November but because of circumstances was un- able to be with us. She has most graciously consented to speak at this time and her subject will be : "Women in Defense." All members are urged to be pres- ent, as it is very discouraging for a speaker to give up time and effort to come and speak to just a handful of people. . On Thursday, February 4, Mrs. Marvin Terry of Plymouth spoke to the members of the club of her work teaching in the moun- tain region of Kentucky. Mrs. Terry taught for 2 years in a mountain school, driving 13 miles from her home, leaving her car and walking the remaining 3 miles up the mountain to the school. She told of many inter- esting experiences she had work- ing with these very poor people, and all who heard the talk en- joyed it immensely.- Hostesses - were Mrs. L. Bookout, Mrs, C. W. Cotten, Mrs. J. Ahrens and Mrs: P. Fry. Urge Saving of More haste Fats, In a special appeal to house- wives in Wayne county, Mrs. .Henry N. Eddy and Mrs. Marquis E. Shattuck, co-chairmen of the Women's Home Salvage Division of the Wayne County Salvage committee, today urged increased participation in the waste fats salvage program. "As the war progresses, waste fats salvage becomes increasing- ly -important," said Mrs. Shattuck. "Dynamite, ammunition, gun- powder and other vital war ma- terials that are made from glyc- erine contained in waste fats are urgently needed. Housewives in Livonia area have done a splen- did job to date in saving excess kitchen fats. But efforts must be increased to meet the present waste fats quota set for Wayne county." The collections here are made under the direction of the Livonia Civilian Defense Corps. The present Wayne county quota is 367,964 pounds of waste fats a month. Collections for De- cember, as reported by the Wayne county rendering companies, to- talled 155,480 pounds. In order to increase present collections it is necessary to see that every drop of excess fat that is not saved for home use is turned over to the government salvage program. Strain drippings daily into a clean, wide-mouthed can and place in the refrigerator. When a pound or more is saved, take to the butcher or cooperat- ing agency in the neighborhood. * Buy War Bonds * Page 2 THE LIVONIAN Wednesday, February 10, 1943 No Canned Goods Can Be Sold After Feb. 20 Point rationing of canned goods, dried fruits and frozen foods of all kinds will begin March 1. Registration of all consum- ers will be held in the last week of February, at schools everywhere, at which time Ra- tion book two will be issued. Stamp No. 19 in ration book one will be torn out of the book when the new book is is- sued. Beginning with the close of business on February 20, no canned goods, frozen foods or dried fruits will be sold by grocers until rationing actually begins. The one week period will permit the grocers to stock up on what supplies are needed, take inventory of the amount on hand and prepare to handle what in effect is a new type of currency. Housewives, meanwhile, will have to learn to shop all over again, for instead of just shop- ping with money, they also will have to shop with their ration book budget. Under rules and; regulations promulgated by the office of price administration, every per- son will be entitled to 48 points in canned goods, frozen foods. and dried fruits during the month of March. The number of points to be made available during the month of April will be announced the latter part of March. During the last week in Feb- ruary, the OPA also will an- nounce the point value of foods to be rationed. These will be published by The Plymouth Mail, but they also must be post- ed in all groceries. The OPA points out that while sugar and coffee can be rationed on a straight coupon basis, there are other foods which cannot.

The OPA also contemplates that the rationing system will give the can opener a rest, and that the kitchens will smell of old time cookery to a greater extent than at any time in the past two or three decades. Registration for the new ra- tion books will be at the schools. Superintendent of Schools George Smith said he had not received instructions on how the registration is to be hand- led, but that the Plymouth schools would follow the man- dates of the county and state school systems. If it is necessary to close the schools in order to complete the registration, this will be done, he said. He also declared he had not been advised whether or not the teachers would handle the com- plete registration or whether they would have volunteer helpers.

There was no explanation of why this infor- mation is requested. Coffee will be rationed as in the past from ration book No. 1. The public schools are now teaching classes in point ration- ing to regular high school stu- dents. It is anticipated that the students will carry the informa- tion home to their parents.

No new license is required, and the limit is seven birds a clay. No Slackers When it In most counties, two of the birds Comes to Aiding Army may be 'hens. ^ Wayne county rendering com- panies report a total of 155,480 pounds of waste fats salvage for December, according to data sent to Plymouth by the county com- mittee. Housewives were praised for the active part they are taking in this vital salvage activity ... and were urged to keep up the good work. It is the hope of the committee that the new quota of 367,964 pounds of waste fats per month, which has been establish- ed for Wayne county, will be reached during the coming months. To date, Michigan collec- tions have been higher than the national averages. New and more ingenious ways of saving waste fats such as melt- ing fat trimmings, boiling bacon rinds and ham casings for grease skimmings and saving soup skim- mings w e r e encouraged. As pointed out, now that a large portion of waste fats will be con- served for home use it is more essential than ever to see that not a single drop of excess kitchen fats is wasted. Excess fats that are not being re -used for cooking purposes should be strained into a clean, wide mouthed can and kept in the refrigerator until a pound or more is collected. Throwing away grease is like throwing away ammunition . grease contains glycerine used in am- munition, dynamite, gunpowder, anti -freeze. When a pound or more is collected it should be brought to the meat dealer or co- operating agency in the neigh- borhood. 0 An overabundance of ,pheasants and a shortage of meat are coin- ciding to give South Dakota an extra 30 -day bird shooting sea- son, January 30 -February 28.

Your weekly quota of beef, pork, veal or lamb can be stretched considerably by the skillful use of "meat extenders:" 1. Serve stews—with vegetables, noodles, dump- lings, etc. 2. Serve meat pies —with vegetables, and with biscuit or mashed potato topping. 3. Serve patties or meat loaf—meat mixed with bread or cracker crumbs and milk and egg. 4. Serve casserole dishes — escalloped meat with vegetables, noodles or spaghetti. 5. Serve filling soups with a meat stock base, such as ham shank with navy beans, etc., or creamed. vegetable soups with sliced frankfurters or dried beef added. . 6. Serve macaroni or spaghetti with meat balls and tomato sauce. 7. Serve croquettes, using left -over meats. 8. Stretch meat dishes with rice (lamb curry, Spanish rice, etc.), or with dressing, such as stuffed and baked lamb riblets, hearts, rolled breast. 9. Stretch your meat with sauces and gravies such as Swiss steak with mushroom gravy, flank steak with barbecue sauce. 10. Serve hash (with potatoes and onions), or baked beans with frankfurters, sausage, bacon' or salt pork. And remember—(for homes with electric ranges) —that electric cooking makes even the cheaper cuts Of meat more tasty and tender!

Nominating committee was ap- pointed for the March election of PTA officers for the coming year. The committee consists of Mrs. G. Leanhardt, Mrs. K. Kienbaum and Mrs. V. Knickerbocker. The afghan made by 7th and 8th grade pupils under the direc- tion of Miss C. Hardy was dis- played and won much praise. Mrs. K. Kienbaum, chairman of ways and means committee, re- ported a successful bake sale held by the ladies of the Pierson PTA on Saturday, January 30th. She wishes to thank all those who bought and donated. She says that, despite the necessary last minute change in location of the sale and in spite of gas rationing and unpleasant weather, the re- sults were very satisfying.

It -p Big Price For Farm Equipmenf One Farmer Makes 300 Percent Profit Has the price of used farm ma- chinery gone up? Ask Auctioneer Harry C. Rob- inson. Late last summer Mr. Robinson cried a farm auction over near Ypsilanti. He sold a used combine for $265. Last week the farmer who purchased the combine decided to get along without it during the coming year. He put it up at an auction sale over near Fowlerville and sold it for $875. That's what some would call better than a three hundred per- cent profit. 0 There are no neutrals in this war. You're working either for or against America.
