Livonia's new dog ordinance
became effective last week -end
and at last township officials are
armed with something else than
the desire to take care of the nu-
merous dog complaints which
have come to them in the last few
years. The new ordinance was
published in full in last week's
Livonian and when fully enforced
it will forever put an end to all
of the worries local residents
have had about -dogs roaming wild
in this area.
The first step in enforcement of
the ordinance will be the designa-
tion of an enforcement officer and
that appointment will be made in
the very near future. The new
law requires that all dogs four
months or older must carry li-
censes or become the target of
Livonia's dog catcher.
Licenses will be available at
the township hall and will cost
$1.10 for males, and $2.10 for fe-
males if secured by the first of
July each year. If secured after
that date the fees will automa-
tically double. The ordinance also
makes provision for kennel li-
censes.
No longer will neighbors be
bothered with barking dogs or
the tough English Bull dog on the
next street because under the or-
dinance vicious and barking dogs
are a menace and can become the
property of the dog catcher on
complaint of other residents.
The township must establish a
dog pound and stray dogs shall be
impounded for 72 hours then de-
stroyed or sold to the highest bid-
der if their rightful owners fail
to claim them. Residents must pay
a pound fee of $2.00 plus $1.00 per
day board for animals impound-
ed in order to again get them in
good standing.
The ordinance also provides
penalties for dog owners who fail
to live up to the provisions of the
act running up to $100.00 in fines
or 90 days in jail.

Although the township is not
confronted with the possibility
of a $250,000.00 fire it might be
of interest to some of the read-
ers some figures put out by the
National Fire Protection Associa-
tion for the year 1942: There
were 80 fires in the country,
each of which involved a loss of
$250,000.00 or more. (The "Nor-
mandie was a $53,000,000.00 fire.)
Of these 80 fires a contributing
factor to the high loss was due
to the following causes: unsafe
heating equipment, nine; tried to
extinguish without giving alarm,
twelve; inadequate water supply,
eleven; here then were twenty-
two fires with an approximate
loss of eight million dollars which
might have been saved, as this
column has said time andtime
and again, regardless of what
damage you may think will re-
sult from any size fire whatso-
ever, CALL THE FIRE DEPART-
MENT. Any time saved is a low-
ering of the probable fire loss.
Your fire department can only go
to a fire if you call them, they
can only do good if they get there
in time, they can only put on as
much water (as a rule) as that
which is carried on the truck as it
is quite seldom that a hydrant
is near or within 1400 feet of the
fire, so give them a chance to
do as good a job as possible for
you or your neighbor, the de-
partment congratulates the resi-
dents of Livonia Township again,
for during the month of April
(up to the time this column went
to press) there was only one se-
rious fire and one small grass
fire, keep up the good work.

INSPECTION:
Make sure it's right with
INSPECTION has always been an important step in pro-
duction. But in war work—where a soldier's life may
depend on the accuracy of machined parts and the
absence of flaws in a gun or shell or tank or engine part—
inspection is doubly important. Final inspection must
make sure that the product is RIGHT—and that no defect.
ive parts or workmanship are allowed to go out of the
plant
The more precise the work, the more critical the inspec-
tion—and the greater the need for GOOD LIGHT to help
detect imperfections. Besides finding "rejects" when the
work is finished, inspection helps to prevent losses by
catching flaws early, as the work goes along. Periodic
inspection saves wasted man-hours and reduces spoilage.
Good light for inspection is "tailored" to the needs of the
specific job. What is satisfactory lighting for one job may
be wholly inadequate for another. For example, inspec.
tion may involve the internal structure of a piece, or its
composition. It may involve surface contour, or color and
finish. In each case there is a particular kind of lighting
to assure best results. Our industrial Lighting Advisors
will be glad to discuss any lighting problem you may
have, and study your requirements. They will then sub-
mit recommendations without charge. Call any Detroit
Edison office. The Detroit Edison Company.

"You can't imagine, Judge, how much com-

drinking habits in and around Army camps.
If you hadn't loaned us your copy we'd still
be worrying about our Jim ... all because

"I'm mighty glad to hear that, John.
As the report says, no Army in American
history has been so orderly, so well-beh, ed,
so well-trained. Why, even on pay -night,
there's very little drinking done. I was
particularly interested in that part which
said the Army, with an eye to its own
problem, usually prefers to have its camps
in wet communities rather than dry com-
munities because wet communities can be
regulated ... dry communities with their
bootleggers can't. It's just more proof that

blaze, but it was beyond his con-
trol.
He called the Nankin fire de-
partment, located at Wayne, but
the trip was so far for the de -
partment that the blaze was well
underway before the firemen ar-
rived.
T?he furnace was located 'in
the store room and much of the
liquor caught fire, adding to the
fury of the fire.
All of the back end of the
building was destroyed and much
of the front part of the bar was
damaged by smoke and water.
The fire was not put out until
about 10 a.m.
A new bar and a new back bar
can be salvaged, it was reported,
but there was no insurance on
the contents of the building. The
bar is operated by Irish Frank
and Joe Stewart.

With the full realization that labor is the most critical

than they can continue) we find it absolutely neces-

No materials will be permitted to leave our yards after
12 o'clock noon on Saturdays, as of May 1.
All orders for delivery Saturday mornings, must be
in our hands at least (48) forty-eight. hours in advance.
If our customers will work with us and realize that un-
less we can continue our present help—no deliver -

to give you fairly prompt service—not as good aswe
like it, but, better than most companies are doing un-

Resuscitator Is
Available Here
The Livonia Fire Department
wishes to again advise residents of
the township of the resuscitator
that is kept at the fire station at
the corner of Plymouth and Mer-
riman roads. Members of the de-
partment have been instructed in
its use and it is available to any-
one who may think it will be of
service by just calling the Fire
Department, number . Livonia
2555, if at any time you think it
might be the means of saving a
life due to an accident from
drowning; shock, or any cause
where application of the resu-
citator MIGHT be useful do not
hesitate one moment, every min-
ute counts, call the fire depart-
ment and be applying artificial
respiration while the resucitator
is being rushed to the scene of the
accident, you never can tell when
it might save a life.
Auxiliary To Meet
Wednesday
The regular monthly meeting
of the Women's Auxiliary of the
Rosedale Gardens Presbyterian
church will be held next Wed-
nesday evening, May 12 at 8 p.m.
at the church. Mrs. Fre? W. Zinn
will lead the devotional opening
the meeting, and Mrs. E. O.
Whittington, will be in charge of
the program which will be "Tales
from Latin America."
Several of the officers and com-
mittee chairmen of the Auxiliary
are attending the officers' Con-
ference at the Trumbull avenue
Presbyterian church in Detroit
today, and anything of interest to
the organization as a whole will
be thoroughly discussed at this
meeting. All members are urged
to attend as several matters of
importance will be discussed.
Too many baby chicks drown in
poor type open water pans or
get wet and catch cold, according
to Michigan State College poultry
specialists. If approved type
drinking fountains are not in use
and are not obtainable, a home-
made fountain can be prepared.
Two small holes, punched into
the side of the open end of an
empty tin can, will permit enough
flow of water. The can should
be punched about an eighth -inch
_from the open end, filled with
water, and inverted on a saucer.
The lips or outer edges of the
saucer should be slightly deeper
than the holes in the can. Water
will seep out fast enough to sup-
ply the chicks with a safe supply.
Electric motors should be kept
clean and dry. Too much oil may
cause as much trouble as too little
oil.
