I am a business man married EARL J. BURT Candidate for Clerk and the father of two children, operating a hardware store on Joy road between Inkster and Middlebelt roads and I have been interested in township affairs for some time. If elected I will make every effort to have water sta- tions available immediately in all DONALD HOWELL Candidate for Treasurer of the outlying residential areas thereby eliminating much of the inconvenience now caused our residents. I believe adequate and complete sewage and drain disposal sys- tems in residential areas through- out the township are essential and should be installed at once. I am of the opinion this can be don - and should be done immediately. I propose to work in close har- mony with the Wayne county road commission to better the roads of the township and eliminate the difficulties always experienced in the spring by a great many people who can't get their cars "in or out" to go to or from work. Complete township fire pro- tection is a major issue and I propose to see to it that there is ample equipment to protect ev- eryone within the township lim- its. Proper equipment would- also lower our insurance rates. If elected I shall see that there is a just and proper assessment on all of our properties with ab- solutely no partiality shown. A. square deal to you and your neighbor. No huge taxes for some and less for favorites. It is my belief that all town- ship board meetings should be open for all residents and that the dates of the meetings should be announced in advance. I would invite all township organizations to participate in these meetings and would solicit their council and suggestions. Immediate steps should be taken to open a post office in the township at once and thereby (Continued on Page 6) G.� p Entered at the Plymouth, Michiganj IFN Subscription price, $1.00 per year.

We feel fortunate we were able to obtain the noted sound pic- ture from the War Information Bureau. This picture has been written up by Tunition Reynolds as "The best to come out of this war." It has been suggested that members invite a guest. All members are urged to be present as there will be a report from the subdivision landscaping committee. Refreshments will be served. , .. According to director Harry S. Wolfe the War Fund Drive for the Red Cross now under way in Livonia has reached the $2,500.00 quota set for the township. The drive will end on the 31st of this month and all solicitors are urged to make a final effort to contact residents who are on their lists that have not been seen. Work has. been somewhat hampered by the fact that there weren't enough volunteers to cov- er the township rapidly thus plac- ing extra burdens on those that did take the responsibility of helping with the drive. If you haven't made your con- tribution you are urged to cor.- tact any Red Cross worker im- mediately and give all you can to help Mr. Wolfe and his com- mittee reach the goal set for them by the Detroit headquarters. If Livonia should fall behind in reaching its quota it will be one of the few districts in this area that will, since nearly all of the others have practically reached their goals. Your help is needed ... please give all you can. Lt. and Mrs. Ralph Johnson of Rollo, Missouri, ar visiting Lt. Johnson's sister and brother-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hamil- ton of Rayburn road.

A. T. Petersen, victory gar- den chairman, announces that this will be an open forum with sev- eral different speakers, who will talk informally.

Over 50 members were present and the meeting opened by the singing of several patriotic songs. The election of officers was the main business of the evening. Mrs. Wm. Newstead was reelected president because of her fine work during the year -Mrs. Harry Crawford was reelected vice- president; Mrs. Harold Case was elected secretary, and Mrs. Wil- liam Morris was reelected treas- urer. After the business was con- cluded, the meeting was turned over to Miss Vivian Wise, citi- zenship chairman, and one of the teachers, who first introduced Mr. Charles Giudeau, scout leader, who with the aid of two Boy Scouts of the Stark troop, dem- onstrated proper ways of display- ing and saluting our flag. Miss Wise then gave a report on the citizenship in the school and told of various duties the children performed to encourage good citizenship. Mrs. Roy Wilcox then gave a very interesting talk on democracy. The meeting was then ad- journed and refreshments were s erved by Mrs. Carl Fine and her committee of Richland road. Page 2 FaunIut•cherng Under Control Of Government Permits Necessary After April 1 If Meat is Sold Effective April 1, farmers will be required to obtain gov- ernment permits to sell meat from livestock they butcher at home, and livestock dealers will have to obtain permits to buy and sell livestock. These requirements are set up. under Food Distribution Order Nos. 26 and 27, issued by Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wic- kard to help stamp out black markets. Both farmers and livestock dealers can get their permits from the office of the County War Board. Food Distribution Orders 26 and 27 apply to four -footed farm livestock — specifically, cattle, calves, hogs, pigs, sheep, and' lambs. They do not apply to a farmer "who buys livestock for breeding purposes, or for feeding, or finishing, to be sold later to a dealer or a slaughterer who holds a`perrrP`it. Food Distribution' Order No. 26 requires dealers to keep ac- curate records of all purchases and sales of livestock showing the name and address of the buyer and of the seller, the number and weight of each kind of livestock, and the price paid or received. The records regularly kept by dealers or agents who are mem- bers of posted livestock ex - .changes are_ considered adequate for this purpose. It also requires dealers to make a complete in- ventory of the number .and esti- mated weight of- each kind of animal on hand on April 1. Food Distribution No. 27 re- quires everyone who kills live- stock for sale, to obtain a permit. In addition, this order requires slaughterers to mark their permit number on each wholesale cut of the who'_e or cut carcass, unless they are operating under federal, state, city -or county inspection, and have an establishment num- ber. In the latter case they may use the establishment number for an identifying mark. The new slaughter permit pro- visions in no way alter O.P.A. price control and grading regula- tions. These regulations continue to apply. Slaughter quota limits for local slaughtering plants for April are set at 80 percent of their produc- tion in April of 1941. Quota limits for butchers are the same as their slaughter for April, 1941. Farm slaughterers are allowed to kill the same number, or the same live weight of livestock during the April -June quarter as they did iii the -same quarter of 1941. If they have no records of kill- ings, 'they are limited to sale of IZA BEER - LIQUOR - WINE Dancing Sat. and Sun.' ED PALISZEWSKI, Prop.

The purpose of the orders is to prevent drain of the nation's meat supplies through wide- spread black markets, which re- sults in unfair and uneven dis- tribution of meat to farmers, townspeople and factory work- ers. Black markets have kept so much meat out of normal trade channels that t h e y threaten even those supplies available to our fighting men, both here and abroad. The .permit marking systems established by ,the new orders, combined with dollars -and -cents price ceilings on meat set up and to be set up by the Office of Price Administration, will stamp out black markets if farmers and consumers will cooperate, Secre- tary Wickard believes.

Dogs have been a serious prob- lem throughout the township for some time and I feel that some restrictions would be beneficial not only to pet owners but to parents as well who have con- stantly been worried about stray animals becoming a menace to their children. Incidentally I own two dogs and am well aware of both sides of the question. One of the first things I would do if elected would be to give serious thought to a planned recreational program for the children. of Livonia. I am con- vinced that playground sites should be and could be arranged for. Livonia is facing a serious school problem and I think the township board should face the issue and work with the various school boards in an effort to se- cure a badly needed high school for the children of this com- munity. These are a few of the things I would like to see done as a resi- dent of Livonia and if I should be elected supervisor I will make it my business to see that it is done. —RAY THOR.PE u Buy War Bonds a(D # WAIrmMm9ft ca -t BEER - LIQUOR - WINE Meet Your Friends in a Friendly Atmosphere Cor.

They have chosen for their aim this year "A VICTORY GARDEN for every home in the community." Mrs. A. T. Peterson, chairman of the victory garden committee and her helpers have already made greatstrides toward this end. To date, 110 vacant lots have been alloted and arrangements made for them to be plowed and harrowed. Mrs. Peterson has also made arrangements for anyone in the community to have their soil tested by Mr. E. S. Besemer, Wayne county agricultural agent. Every family in the community and there are a few over 400, is going to be called upon by a mem- ber of the victory garden corn mittee and if they have not al- ready planned their garden, they will be urged to do so. All of the help possible will be given to beginners and arrange- ments are being made to have several open forum meetings and discussion groups on gardening problems in the near future. The following women will be glad to answer any gardening questions for you on your street: Mrs. P. Harsha, Arden and Mel- rose; Mrs. M. Watterworth, Au- burndale; Mrs. J. Lynch, Berwick; Mrs. C. Bristah, Ingram; Mrs. W. Peristy, Blackburn; Mrs. C. Buck- nell, Cranston and Mrs. E. Price, Hubbard. All of the civic groups in the community are entering into the spirit of the program and the co- operation of the civic association and the Boy Scouts is greatly ap- preciated. 0 Will Sponsor Antique Show Mrs. Stafford A. Francis is in charge of the antique and hobby display which will be held at the regular meeting of the Rosedale Gardens branch of the Women's National Farm and Garden associ- ation on Tuesday, April 13 at 2 p.m. at the community house.

Peterson will give a short talk on victory gardens, and she will be glad to answer any ques- tions on gardening that you may care to ask. 0 Present Officers Say Records Merit Reelection ,Conn-nued from page 1) officers Livonia stood as a model throughout the state. He cited the fact that Livonia was one of the first townships in Michigan to adopt a zoning ordi- nance and building code and since that time most of the other town- ships in Michigan were follow- ing the pattern used here. Supervisor Ziegler has served on all of the important commit- tees of the Wayne County Board of Supervisors and is at present chairman of the powerful com- mittee on taxes, a member oi the Ways and Means committee, the roads and bridges committee and the committee on public health. Township clerk Harry Wolfe, a life long Livonia resident along with supervisor Ziegler, pointed oust the fact that the present of- ficers had not only made an ef- fort to perform the duties of their offices to the best of their ability but that they had made it their business to be of service to local residents whenever possible. Mr. Wolfe has offered the serv- ives of his office and staff for any undertaking that might be needed in the township. Other officials from treasurer Arthur Trapp right on down were all willing to let their records speak for them and believed that they had done everything in tneir power to warrant reelection to their present officers. THE LIVONIAN Appoint -taw Committees A very successful pot luck lun- cheon was held by the members of the Women's Auxiliary of the, Rosedale Gardens Presbyterian church on Tuesday, arch 23.

N Wednesday, March 31, 1943 ,T lls sof Nar.r6w Escape in Pacific Son of Kelsey -Hayes Worker Downed at Sea Appearing recently in the Ill- inois State Journal, published at Springfield, Illinois, w a s an article telling of the harrowing experience of Patrick McIntyre Jr., a naval flier, son of Patrick McIntyre, an employe of the Kelsey -Hayes machine gun plant, when the plane he was on was forced down in the Pacific. The youthful flier was recent- ly a visitor at the former family home in Springfield after he had been granted a leave of absence from naval service. The article relates of his har- rowing experiences for two days on the ocean after the plane he was on was forced to land on the water following a clash with a Jap ;patrol plane. He says "We floated for two days and nights on the sea. The first night, which was pitch dark, we smelled diesel oil. That meant only one thing. A submarine had surfaced near by to recharge its batteries. "One member .of our crew was for firing a gun as a distress sig- nal to the submarine. We knew if the sub was a Jap we would all be machine gunned and killed. So all night long we huddled on the raft, almost afraid to move for fear of disclosing our pres- ence. We were so close we could hear voices on the sub deck." He said that ,the next day the sea seemed filled with sharks, some rubbing their backs under the floating raft the boys were on. On the second day, an Amer- ican patrol plane sighted the dawned fliers and sent a destroy- er to the rescue. The young man's father is a veteran of the last world war.
