This restriction was made a law when the building code and zoning ordinance was passed here last fall and residents are asked to cooperate by first getting per- mission to do any construction within the township. o- f iremen Answer Six Calls In Day The last day of March went out like a lion for the Livonia Fire Department as they were called to respond to five fires be- tween 3:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Four of the runs were made to .grass fires in the neighborhood of Rosedale Gardens and the last call was near the home of Mrs. Bowen, 30885. West Six Mile road, no serious damage resulted from any of the fires except the latter one mentioned for it nearly got out of control due to waiting too long before calling the depart - went. As we have said so many times before, call the department FIRST then use what means you have or care to try and extin- guish the fire while, the depart- ment is on the way and in this way valuable minutes are being saved, remember this always., Another piece of fire depart- ment equipment, namely .a rub- ber coat, was taken by someone on one .of last week's runs and the department wishes the party would return it at once to the station at Merriman and Plym- outh roads. This is the second oc- casion in the past few week's that equipment of the department has been taken and not returned. These matters are, now being turned over to the sheriff's de- partment for investigation. 0 Happy are the people whose God is All -in -ail, who ask only to be judged according to their works, who live to love. -Mary Baker Eddy.

Page 2 .Red Cross News On February 16, all surgical dressings stations received an urgent telegram from Mrs. Jewett Dwyer, national vice-chairman, asking for an immediate increase in dressings. It is gratifying to hear that February's production increased -593,470 over January's quota. Ninety percent of all the sur- gical dressings needed for the men in the armed forces must be made by the women of the nation, be- cause only ten percent is pro- duced by manufacturers. We have a huge task to do and because of the ever increasing demand it means we must con- stantly strive harder. It is one of the most important ways in which we on the home front can help our armed forces. Classes are held at the Rose- dale Gardens Club House each . week on Monday from 1 to 4 p. m., and Friday from 10 to 4 p.m. An instructor is present each Friday to teach beginners. A new class in Home Nursing will begin on Monday, April 12 at 1::30 p.m. at the Cooper school, Middlebelt road and Ann Arbor Trail. Mrs. C. J. Kershaw will be the instructor. Thirty women have enrolled in the new class at Rosedale Gar- den`s school with -Mif ,Ralph Kin- ner as instructor. 3rd and 4th Grades We have frog eggs in our :aquarium. Donald Britt brought them.

N . , . another job Electricity is doing to heir) win the war A MACHINE GUN firing 1200 shells per minute requires mass production on a big scale to keep it supplied with ammunition. The metal links that make a continuous chain of machine gun bullets are a good example. Mil- lions of these links are turned out daily in a single local plant, and thanks to electricity, the whole job is com- pletely automatic from start to finish. Starting with a steel strip, the stock feeds through mul- tiple stamping machines to make the "green" link (not yet heat treated). Then on a continuous conveyor belt, the links go successively to electric furnaces for hardening, to shot blasting machines, to draw furnaces for more heat treating, to a rust preventive bath, and finally to bins where every link is tested for strength and accurate dimensions. They then slide down a chute and are pack- aged into waterproof cartons, which—after spot testing by Army inspectors—are, conveyed directly into box cars. Machine gun links by the carload are only ONE of the thousands of jobs that electricity is doing today in arsen- als and war plants. Electric power is a weapon of war ... making its strength felt on the production lines that equip our fighting men. The Detroit. Edison Company. Wednesday, April 14, 1943 THE LIVONIAN Page 5 Phones Installed On 'Condition' New Regulations Go In Effect Further telephone restrictions under order of the War Produc- tion board, announced by the Michigan Bell Telephone com- pany, prohibit any installation of telephone service excepting on a conditional basis. Where facilities are available, installations can be made only on condition that the instrumentali- ties be given up by the appli- cant for service if they should be needed later for war or other essential purposes. In some places it will be possible to provide ser- vice on a party -line but not on an individual line basis. The order applies to service moves from one location to another, as well as to new installations, it was stated. In many sections, the com- pany pointed out, telephone lines, cables and central office appa- ratus are in use to capacity, and no installations can be made. During recent months, service was provided only on a condi- tional basis at several points throughout the state and in parts of. Detroit and Grand Rapids. It applies state-wide under the new order, which is designed further to conserve telephone facilities and critical materials required for essential war purposes. The latest WPB order also pro- hibits not only the installation of residence extension telephones, but also their reconnection for Plumbing and Heating Parts and Fixtures Repairs .and Service C. J.

Plymouth new occupants, and further limits the expansion of central office equipment and exchange plant. Because of the shortage of materials with which to expand the telephone system, Michigan Bell officials said that there is considerable likelihood that a per- son or firm planning to move may be unable to get telephone service at the new location. The facilities situation is changing from day to day and no definite advance promise of service can be made for any particular time or location. Even when and where service can be provided, consid- erable delay in its installation is probable because of man -power scarcity, it was stated. 0 The conservation department's inland lake mapping program has progressed to the point where cottage owners on 1„000 of Mich- igan's 6,000 inland lakes may now decorate their cottages with col- ored maps of the lake on which they are situated. The maps are necessary for planning improve- ments in the lakes fisheries, and copies are available for public distribution at cost, which varies from 10 cents to $3. A catalog of the lakes mapped is available from the conservation depart- ment's fish division. Food For Thought Hints on cooking vegetables: 1. Cook only until tender, no longer. Overcooking destroys vit- amins, color, texture, and flavor. 2. Cook in very little water and use what is left for soups and gravies since valuable minerals and vitamins wash out during cooking. 3. Do not use soda in cooking vegetables, it destroys vitamins. 4. Cook with skin on whenever possible. Skin keeps minerals and vitamins in. 5. When paring, remove as little outside skin as possible. 6. Leafy vegetables should be washed and well drained. Enough water for cooking will remain on leaves. Cook covered for 5 to 15 min- utes. Uncover and let all water evaporate. Season, serve.

The club became interested in suckers when a screen they put in .Bear creek to hold big rain- bow trout in the stream over the summer proved a barrier :to up- stream -swimming suckers.
