(Continued on Page 6) The Livonia fire department wishes to warn motorists to use common sense in driving when in the vicinity of a fire—do not block the roads leading to a fire by your trying to get as near as possibly block the approach of the arriving apparatus or other firemen that -are coming to the fire in their own cars—if you hinder the fire truck or firemen from getting to the scene of the fire your being there is no conso- lation or value to the poor owner whose property is ablaze—put yourself in his place and see how you would feel—just remember as a rule, the fire department is usu- ally handicapped upon its arrival by lack of sufficient water other than the 300 gallons carried on the truck and the sooner this water can reach the fire the greater the possibility of minimum damage. So just remember if you must "chase a fire" .park your car on a main highway, not one of the side roads leading to a fire and UN- DER NO CIRCUMSTANCES park your cars on both sides of the road leading to a fire and get want to be of real service, park your car near the intersection of the roa dleading to a fire and get out and try and direct sightseers cars AWAY from the congested area so in no way will the road be blocked for oncoming neces- sary fire vehicles. Just last week serious damage resulted when a neighboring fire department res- ponded to a fire and when they got there they were short of wa- ter other than what they had on their truck and called for help but no help could reach the scene of the fire because the road was blocked by cars PARKED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD LEADING TO THE FIRE, con- sequently a great deal more dam- age was caused by this thought- lessness on the part of motorists: LIVONIA TOWNSHIP'S ONLY OFFICIAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER THE LIVONIAN.

On land it can perform every task ordinarily done by a quarter -ton four-wheel drive truck designed for land op- erations only. In the construction of this new mechanical marvel, Ford engi- neers, in effect, have taken a quarter -ton four-wheel drive truck and ingeniously "built a boat around it." Highly important, and essential in the hard, gruel- ling tasks that the new machines are called upon to perform, is the fact that the maximum number of quarter -ton truck parts are in- terchangeable- for manufacture and service, Another feature of this Ford engineering creation is that, if necessary, it can "pull itself up" a river or lake shore bank that would be difficult for a man to climb. This astonishing opera- tion is accomplished by means of a power -driven capstan, or winch, in the prow of the "boat." Any object on shore, such as a tree or a post, to which a rope can be attached, is sufficient to pull the amphibian car ashore. The controls of the new army transportation unit, for land op- eration, are identical to the quar- ter -ton four-wheel drive recon- -naissance-car. No steering change-' over is -required from land to water operation. Designing the structure so that normal type chassis frame could be retained, assures proper dis- tribution for land operation and permits installation of the motor, transmission, radiator core, fuel tank and other parts, within the frame, before the frame is as- sembled. within the hull. This method of construction also permits building the hull complete and independent of the chassis. It distributes the manu- facture and . - labor functions through .approximately the same channel_ as regular truck pro- duction.

Water Garden Growing plans must have wat- er. There are "dry spells" al- most every year when supple- mental irrigation is very desir- able. Many plants wilt somewhat on hot dry days even though the soil is not deficient in moisture. If however they do not completely recover during the. night they need water. The gardener should learn at the outset that water deficiency cannot be overcome by waving a hose about in the garden. This sort of watering washes the soil, spreads mildew and encourages plant roots to grow near the sur- face where they are sure to be damaged by cultivation or dry weather. The gardener who sows seed in hot dry weather may have to hand -sprinkle the surface soil several times daily in order to insure germination and give the seedlings a - good start. ' Hand - sprinkling at other times almost invariably .does more harm than good. Water may be applied by an automatic sprinkler or by re- moving the nozzle and allowing the water to run from the hose onto a flat board or stone, thus preventing soil washing. Shal- low furrows runnings along the plant rows will carry the water for some distance .and thus help to 'cover - areas at one set- ting. When water is applied, the soil SQUARE DEAD. BODY SHOP J. W.

The procedure in the past, as far as tone is concerned, remains unchanged, that is, a rising and falling pitch or tone will always denote an air raid . warning—a long continual high pitch or tone denotes either an "All Clear" signal from a previous air raid alarm or it denotes a fire. During the spring and summer months a long continual high pitch or tone during daylight hours up to the time the street lights go on (which at present is 8:00 p.m.) will denote a fire in the township to which all members of the department should respond with all possible safety and speed. As before, the siren when blown at night will, ,for the period of the duration, always will denote an air raid alarm.

THE LIVONIAN .Red Cross News Millions of,surgical dressings are needed fothe wounded men of the United Nations. There is an increasing demand for more and more as the fighting fronts spread out over greater terri- tory. We dare not slow down on this job of furnishing these im- portant supplies. Every one must do their share if this need is met. A class meets every Monday afternoon from one to four p.m. and every Friday from ten to four p.m, at the Rosedal Gardens club house. An instructor is in attendance each Friday to teach new beginners. The Junior Red Cross units of Livonia township are doing a splendid job of their War Fund Drive. Mrs. E. W. Cunningham, spon- sor of the Junior Red Cross units reports collections have reached two hundred dollars with sev- eral schools yet to report. One outstanding contribution of eighty dollars came from the Briggs school. The twelve stu- dents from this small one room school under the direction of their teacher, Mrs. Adelene Lee, earned the money by giving plays and parties. This month in addition to this achievement, they have collected fifty books for the -Vic- tory Book Drive; several large bags of silk stockings for sal- vage and have made scrap books, both for service men and defense nursery schools. They collected buttons, which they sorted ac- cording to size and sewed to cards, ready to be used again. Some of our other schools are doing a fine job too. They are making stoop mops, knit bags, scrap 'books, mittens, convales- cense slippers, sewing kits and card table covers. All units are now studying and plotting victory gardens. .

Here's News -If You Get Smelt New Ways to Cook Little Wigglers Plymouth "smelters" who year after year have driven to north- ern Michigan to dip their usual portions of these small, 'but de- licious fish, are right now wond- ering if they will be able to even do a little "practice" dipping in Tonquish creek, so short is the supply of gas for their gas -bug- gies. At any rate maybe they will be able to buy a few smelt later on at the stores—and if they can spare enough of their ration cards, here's how to cook them in ways they have never before heard about: Besides pan-frying of smelt, the federal Fish and Wildlife service recommends broiling and baking of the little fish that are soon to be on the market in quantity, as follows: BROILING: Clean smelt (3 to 5 per person) and wipe dry. Salt thoroughly on both sides and let stand 5 minutes. Place in hot. well -greased broiler and cook un- der flame at moderate heat (375 degrees F.) 10 to 15 minutes. Skin surface should be covered with brown bubbles when done. Turn and cook other side. Slip broiled fish carefully onto hot platter, pour on drippings, garnish with cress or parsley and sliced lemon and serve at once. BAKING: Wipe fish dry (2 lb.) salt both sides, let stand 5 min- utes. To 2 tablespoons melted fat add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon minced onion and 1 tablespoon salt. Dip each fish in this mixture and place in greased Wednesday, April 7;'1943 shallow _ baking dish, pour . sur-. plus. fat over the fish. Bake in moderately hot oven (350 to 375 degrees F.) about 15 minutes. If not sufficiently browned, put un- der flame of broiling oven. Sprinkle with parsley and serve from baking dish.

At least nine such weeds get a recommendation from Dr. H. T. Darlington, botany- professor at Michigan -State college. There's as much or more pleasure in the gathering as there is in the eat- ing, he says. Leading, the list is the well- known dandelion, gathered like the rest when young and tender, but usually avaliable right in the front lawn. For a crisp salad, the dandelion can be blanched by loosely covering with several layers of paper weighted at the edges. Common in Michigan is the curly dock or yellow lock. This should be gathered young and tender, before it gets a foot .high, and cooked as a pot herb. As for dandelions, for those who fail to appreciate the bitter taste, the cooking water should be changed several times during the brief cooking period. A cousin of spinach is in the group. This is lamb's quarters, usually found in cultivated fields. Cutting for the table should be when .plants are six to 10 inches: high, cooked as spinach for about 20 minutes. The marsh marigold. or American cowslip. is. another edible plant from which leaves and stems are boiled and served as spinach is served. The true water cress is familiar to many. In Michigan it is com- mon in hilly areas, found as a brookside growth floating in the clear, cold water. Leaves and tender shoots are used for salad. Wild- chicory can be treated like the dandelion. Boiling helps to rid the dish of the natural bit- ter taste. Poke or skoke is not as common as the others but is well known in eastern states. Common chickweed, another lawn pest, re- sembles spinach in treatment and taste.. Purslane is in this edible weed group but is more of a farm weather crop and will not be common until Victory gardens likely are offering a more natural wealth of table greens, vitamins and minerals.

AN AD such as this one,, if it appeared. in, the news- paper today, would probably draw hundreds of replies—provided that eager, prospective employers didn't think it too good to be true. Actually, not a word in the ad is exaggerated: Every bit of it is true -even the wages of 2 cents an hour—when applied to your household electric servants. The commoner eketric servants in your home work for a few cents per day. Some of them operate for only a fraction of a cent per hour. See how cheaply electricity serves you (at the thrifty "bargain" step in your residence rate, 21/4c net per unit) in -half - a -dozen daily jobs: ONE CENT will run your electric clock a whole week ... or chill your electric refrigerator for more than 10 hours ... or tune in your favorite radio pro- gram for the whole evening ... or run your vacuum cleaner for nearly two hours ... or brown the family toast for several breakfasts . or make 15 cups of coffee ... or do half the weekly wash .. or iron clothes for an hour ... or wash the dishes for three days' meals. Your residential electric service costs only about ONE-HALF as much today as it did twenty years ago. T£ other things were as cheap, the cost of living would be half what it is.The Detroit Edison Company.
