Wolfe, Livonia township's Red Cross War Drive will swing into action on Monday, March 1. Plans for an all- out coverage of the township are now under way and it is hoped that canvassers can reach the $3,500 quota in four days this year. Last .year's quota of $2,500 was over -subscribed by $100.00 and officials are looking for more cooperation this .year than ever before. A special appeal is made to defense workers to make their contribu- tions to the local chapter rather than in the plants where they work so that the local total may soar even higher than the set quota. Red Cross workers are to attend a special Red Cross organizational meeting at Hope Chapel on the evening of Wednesday, February 24 at which time out -county Red Cross director, Gertrude Beitler will set the drive in motion. Part of that evening's program will be moving pictures which are furnished by the Red Cross. Anyone interested in Red Cross work is invited to attend. ffo,1: 1;Has The Women's club of the Rose- dale Ganims Civic association will meet tomorrow (Thursday) at 8:30 p.m. at the community house.

On Thursday, March 4, the reg- ular monthly business meeting will place. Following the meeting, there will be a discussion on how food rationing will affect the nu- trition of our families, lead by Mrs. Edward Zopff. This subject is of vital interest to all home mak- ers today, as so many of our foods either have been or are going to be rationed. Come over and join this discussion. On Thursday, February 18, Mrs. Huth Huston Whipple, mayor of Plymouth, was guest speaker" Mrs. Ernest Bentley, program chairman, opened the meeting, by introducing Mrs. Irving E. R. Benson, who gave a short read- ing- ead-ing_ on Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Bentley then presented Miss Lois Ridley of Plymouth who sang "When The Lights Go On Again" and "There Will Never Be An- other You," accompanied by Mrs. Woodworth. At this time Mrs. Whipple was introduced and spoke on "Women in Civilian Defense." She pointed out that the protective services on civilian defense were well organ- ized in most communities, but that the non -protective services were the ones which are just as important, and were not organized as they should be. She urged the community to get together and plan on organizing those of the non -protective agencies that were not functioning as they should, and also urged the women to vol- unteer for air raid warden duty during the day. Hostesses for the meeting were Mrs. L. Jacobs, Mrs. C. F. Wegner, Mrs. W. E. Rubert and Mrs. A. Leece. 0 Mrs. Ira Bore of Ann Arbor Trail attended a bridal shower given for her neice, Rousen, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Snyder in east Detroit last Mon- day evening.

Livonia It A The teachers of the Livonia Center school presented a Foun- ders' Day playlet to members of the P.T.A. at their meeting on the evening of February 15. The program opened with a candle- light service in commemoration of Founders' Day and a well- rounded program was brought to a conclusion with the serving of .refreshments.

Lutheran church, corner of Farmington and Five Mile roads, will dedicate its new organ in special services begin- ning at 10:30 o'clock. It is nearly three years ago that plans were first made to acquire a new organ. An organ fund was started at that time. This fund grew steadily until it became large enough to buy an organ. The organ is an Estey Modern- istic with 17 stops. Its beautiful tone promises to add much to the worship of the congregation: An invitation is extended to all to attend this service. The program for the meeting of the Lee Valley Improvement association at Hope Chapel, Six Mile and Middle Belt roads, on March 5, 1943, will consist of two original musical skits, "Taking Ways" and "The Legacy" to be presented by Miss Alice Ballard. Hanchett, Miss Esther B. Lange, Miss Ruth Sattelmeier, and Miss Nancy Baughman of Detroit. The music which includes scores from operas, classical and semi -popular selections, and the original lyrics have been ar- ranged by Miss Hanchett, who has also staged and produced the operettas. Miss Eleanor Galland, of Detroit; who serves as accom- panist,, is responsible for the unity of the productions in their swift change of musical tempo. The scene in "Taking Ways" is laid in the emergency room of a surgeon's office, and what trans- pires gives the skit its name. It was first presented 15 years ago, and has been repeated many times fon clubs throughout De- troit. It was given for a joint meeting of the Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Detroit in October. "The- Legacy", was first pre- sented on Christmas day 1942 for the residents �!f Priscilla Inn, as part of their holiday program. It is the story of two ladies of un- certain ,years who are -left a leg- acy, which they find to their dis- may, is only a trunk full of old fashioned clothes belonging to an aunt of questionable reputation. Both Miss Hanchett and Miss Lange are well known in Detroit musical circles, and their presen- tation of these operettas will live long in the memories of their audience. Appoiniffew 1 =„ George L.,Isbell, of 1510 Aub- urndale, has been appointed to the Zoning Commission by the township board to replace W_1- liam Loomis, who recently re- signed. The other men who make up the board are Carsen Johnson, George Bentley and William Fenske.

Glenn Phillips who will help formulate plans for post war development. Supervisor Jesse Ziegler and Township Clerk Harry S. Wolfe will also be in attendance. Tin collection—March 13. To ConductOf Classes Free For r s'i ,.r Through arraC.gements made by the township officers, Wayne Coun- ty Agricultural Agent E. I. Besemer will conduct a series of four educa- tional classes at the township hall early in March covering all of the steps necessary in planting, growing and caring for a victory garden. The classes will be held in the evening and will be for everyone who is interested in having a victory garden. The last class of the series will deal with the storage, canning and processing of the gardens' yield and should prove of great interest to every housewife in the township. More detailed inrormation of the course will appear in future issues of The Livonian. Prospective gardeners who wish to have free tests made of their ,gar- den soil may do so by bringing a cupful of the same to the township hall on Wednesday, March 24 at which time Mr. Besemer will analyze each sample submitted. People are asked to be sure that the samples they sub- mit are moist. Dry or soggy soil cannot be tested. In the event it is im- possible to be at the hall on Wednesday you may place .your sample in a labeled envelope and leave it at the hall any time previous to that date end a complete analysis will be made of the same.

Sut- ton, 19, pharmacists mate third class, U.S.N., walked into the Red Cross donor center in Baltimore to pay back the transfusion he re- ceived when he was injured in the north Africa fighting. The physician at the center said, "keep your blood, son, we'll get it from the people who don't have to go out there and fight." Said Sutton, of the fighting in Africa: "I'm here to tell you that plasma is practically miraculous. They bring in a guy who's gone into shock. He looks like he's dead. They pump plasmo into him and .back he comes. It's the most im- portant of our medical supplies. Every doctor and technician car- ries a plasma kit with him at all times. You wouldn't have any trouble making your weekly schedule if the people here could see the way it works. There are a lot of fellows coming back from Africa who wouldn't have re- turned if we hadn't had the plas- ma. I remember one, he was lit- erally full of machine gun bullets from air strafing. It looked like he was bleeding to death right there on the beach. But we shot plasma into him and fixed him up so he could be moved to a ship for hospitalization and he'll live. Now this is the story of a boy who has seen the miraculous sav- ing of lives with blood plasma. Theyear ahead calls for an ex- pansion of America's blood stream into plasma. The army and navy have asked the American Red Cross to procure four million pints of blood during 1943. This is more than three times the amount obtained from volunteer donors at Red Cross centers last year. The Livonia branch of the Red Cross will hold its next blood bank on March 15th at the Wilcox school, Middle Belt road near Six Mile road. Time of day will be announced later. Members of the Mobile Canteen units assembled Tuesday at the Rackham Memorial building in Detroit for a review of their work.

The `regulations for registering a group require a troop committee of five besides the leader. Mrs. Lynch at this time has one mother helping her. If you do not want to see this group given up, and the commun- ity will not want to, get in touch with Mrs. Lynch, 11026 Berwick, or come to the next, meeting of the Brownies at the community house on Monday, following school. It would be a great loss to the community as a whole if this group of 9-10 year old girls was disbanded because of lack of in- terest on the part of the mothers. o— C fire Girls Help Drive The Campfire girls of Livonia center are cooperating with the Plymouth salvage drive to be held on March 13 and will col-' lect tin cans at the homes as- signed them on March 11 and 12.

You can place your _bare hand inside the furnace and not feel a bit of heat. But place a steel bar in the same spot, and in one or two minutes it becomes WHITE-HOT. Induction heating has several clear-cut advantages. For example, it is useful in hardening the surface of a steel piece without affecting the toughness of the steel below the surface. Armor -piercing shells are point -hardened by this process. Engines and parts for airplanes, tanks, submarines, armored cars, etc. are made with the help of induction.-. heating. A crankshaft whose surface has been hardened in this way will last five to ten times longer before needing attention than it would without such treatment. Gun barrels of a certain caliber are now centrifugally cast from alloy -steel melted in an induction furnace. Stainless steels and "fussy" alloys are commonly melted in these furnaces, as are most of the high-speed and tool steels used for cutting. And bronze castings for naval torpedoes also come from the induction furnace. Induction heating and melting represents only ONE of thousands of jobs that electricity is doing today in arsen- als and war plants. Electric power is a weapon of war.

Considerable change has been made in rules and regulations governing the issuance of re- newal supplemental rations as compared with the issuance of the ration books in December. Fewer gasoline coupons are to be granted, it was announced, under the rules laid down by the Office of Price Administration. .Principal sufferers will be all of those persons not engaged in essential war work. This will in- clude salesmen, even of materials essential to the operation of w^ar plants. Teachers will be limited in the amount of driving they .may do, as will numerous of other categories now receiving ration hook C. When sending or taking the supplemental gasoline ration re- newal application to the board, it must be accompanied by the tire inspection record. Men and women working in defense plants where defense transportation committees have been set up, must make their re- newal applications through that committee and not to the local rationing board.

This is the statement of the Plymouth Price and Rationing board, and is based on informa- tion received from headquarters -in Cleveland. "Apparel rationing is not in sight," said the bulletin from :headquarters. "Mr. Donald Nelson of the War Production Board has not asked the Office of Price Ad- ministration to even think about rationing apparel." The OPA said there are several hundred. million more pounds of wool now on hand than when the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor. The ration board said that it people will buy clothes only when needed, take care of the clothes they have and avoid rumors, there is little likelihood that clothing will be rationed at all.
