On the "shareAlie-ride" basis, three Plymouth Central grade school officers went along. The conference was especially interesting and .beneficial to all because of the present day trend of activities and living. The hope of our Parent-Teach- er organization is that all will benefit from the excellent ideas which were brought to us by many prominent speakers. Among them were Dr. Alice Sowers, Family Life Institute, University of Oklahoma; Dr. Eugene B. Elliott, Superintendent of Public Instruction for the state of Mich- igan, John Gibson, commissioner of the department of labor and industry, James Stermer, socio- logist at. Willow Run, and Mrs. Ruth C. Rogers, consultant on day care, State Welfare commission and Mrs. Olga Nickle, chief of the Michigan Council of Defense. We all had a most enjoyable day. The next meeting of the Stark P.T.A. will be held on Tuesday, May 25 at 8 p.m. at the school. There will be a guest speaker who will talk on recreation. Re- freshments will be served. We do hope that all members will be present. 0 Keynoting the Office of 'Civ- ilian Defense Drivers' Unit grad- uation program on Wednesday, April 2.1, at Wayne University, Frank M. McLaury, director of Detroit O.C.D., stressed co-ordi- nation between the Red Cross Motor . Corps and O.C.D. units which are mobilized for protec- tive service in case of an enemy attack on the city. In a mass graduation which saw 700 members of the Amer- ican Red Cross Motor Corps sworn in as members of the O.C.D. Drivers' Unit, A.J. Berres Jr., manager of the Detroit chap- ter of the Feed Cross, congratulat- ed Corps members on the scope and efficiency of their work. He stated that from past perform- ances it ,would seem that the Corps' capacity for work_ is un- limited. At the time of graduation, members of the Drivers' Unit were issued O.C.D. diplomas, identification card and arm bands. Upon presentation of these cards at Red Cross headquarters, mem- bers of the Drigers' Unit of the Detroit area will be issued a gas mask and helmet to .be used in case of enemy raids. This equip- ment is allocated by the govern- ment to the city of Detroit who distributed it to organizations engaged in protective service. There has been some confus- ion among Drivers' Unit mem- bers due to the civilian defense set-up for the state of Michigan. Members of the Motor Corps from Detroit proper and those The regular monthly meeting of the =Women's Auxiliary of the Rosedale Gardens Presbyterian church took place on Wednesday evening, May 12 at 8 p.m. Fol- lowing the devotional led by Mrs. Fred Zinn, the business meeting was held, Mrs. B. E. French, pre- siding. At the conclusion of the meet- ing, -Mrs. E. O. Whittington, one of the members, gave an excel- lent review of "Tales of Latin America," by Mead. This was the final meeting devoted to Latin America which has been the Mission Study subject for the year.

Ten thousand human lives are lost. _ One hundred thousand others are seriously injured. Four hundred million dollars in property values plus the in- direct losses, creating a total loss in excess of ONE BILLION DOL- LARS are annually destroyed by fire. Seventy percent of the fires— and life losses occur in -dwellings. Forty-three percent of the com- mercial establishments destroy- ed do not rebuild and the com- munity loses prestige, business, payrolls, taxes and wealth. Fifty times its original size is the spread of fire within eight minutes after inception. Two hundred deaths and 10.00 injuries yearly lose their lives in fires and explosions due to clean- ing with gasoline at home. A spark as tiny as that made ,by rubbing a cat's back is all that is needed to "set off" the vapor from gasoline used as a cleaner. A pint of gasoline has the de- structive power of one pound of dynamite. Last year New York City . ans- wered 39,361 fire alarms; Chicago, 24,153; Philadelphia, 11,801; Cleveland, 8,336; Detroit, 13,195; Los Angeles, 15,368, and San Francisco, 9,106. With the approach of clean-up week it behooves us all to get rid of all the so-called "junk" we have collected in our basements, attics, garages and eliminate as far as possible having the fire de- partment call "at -your home.

Small Joe came closes and sniffed the delicious smoke, wriggling all over with early -morning joy. "Better be thankful for them while. you can still get them." One glance at Mom's face told small Joe this was one of her tight-lipped days. "Not a drop of coffee in the house, and no sugar left to put in it if there was. Some war!" Small Joe kept still. "Letter for you, son," Pop soid in his quiet voice. Small Joe made a leap for his place at table. There it was, a private personal letter for him alone, propped against his milk glass. "Hey, Pop! It's from brother!" Small Joe was pulling the envelope apart and diving -.� into the contents. "Hey, look what he sent me." He passed over an «� oblong of thick, �.., crinkly paper while he leaned over the sheet of writing -paper. "A twenty-five dollar War Bond," Pop said slowly. Mom turned and looked at it over Pop's shoulder, with the frying -pan in her hand. "Listen what he says. `How are you doing, kid? Hurry and grow up so you can help me slap the Japs. Aren't you most big enough to get into the. Army? Ifere's something for you in your name. Let's the whole family gang up and help to win this war.' Pop and Mom were silent. But small Joe didn't notice that. He was full of his letter and his War Bond. "Gee, Pop, in six years I could get into the Army, couldn't I, Pop? Gee, Pop, I want to be a soldier like brother and fight in this war. Gee, isn't that bond nifty? Look, it was issued in Honolulu. It's mine." But Pop was looking at Mom and Mom was looking at Pop. There were tears in Mom's eyes. She shook her head sharply. Pop reached out and patted her hand gently, "Well, can't let our soldier boy beat us to buying War Bonds, can we, old lady?" was all he said. She shook her head again. "I guess if he can give up his job and and go off to war I can do some fighting back at home," she said in a queer voice. Small Joe looked up at her in surprise. She saw him looking at her and spoke sharply. "Well, Joe. We're about ready to eat. Say grace." Small Joe folded his hands and bent his head as he had been taught. "Oh Lord, we thank thee for this food and all thy bountiful gifts ..." "Amen," Pop said. "Amen," Mom said. "Now eat your good sausages."

This is the opinion of Dean Saxton, Plymouth feed a n d chicken expert, whose hatchery is operating at a capacity as full as the available hatching eggs will let it operate. "That's the trouble,." said. Mr. Saxton. "We can't get all the eggs we would like to have. Hatching eggs are at a premium because all of the hatcheries are after them. "Leghorn eggs are more or less plentiful, but the heavy chickens are hard to .get. The reason? Well, Joe Doakes and Minnie Smokes and all their ,brothers and sisters in Wayne Co. and all over the country are going into the chicken businessto augment,. their meat supply. But that doesn't mean that meat will be more plentiful, or that chickens and eggs will be plentiful. - "The people who are raising chickens for the first time will have quite an experience;" says Mr. Saxton. "They will find that their loss will be about ten per- cent of the chickens they start out with. They will be able to raise chickens to about three, and a half pounds on about nine or ten pounds of feed. Exclusive of labor, they will find that their chickens have cost them about fifty cents each,. which of. course is pretty good. "Then these people will dis- cover -the egg shortage, and if they're smart, they will eat the roosters and keep the hens for eggs next winter."
