Gives Talk Here
The regular monthly meeting
of the Rosedale Gardens Civic
association was held at the COm-
munity house on Friday evening,
June 11 at 8:30 p.m.
The members; were very happy
to have as their guest speaker
for the evening, a 217,year-old
sailor who had seen action in the
Pacific. He was Seaman first class
Jack Bowers, who was on the
U. S:S. Vincennes when she was
sunk at Guadalcanal in August
of last year.
He ha's been in the navy for
about three years, and before the
United States was officially in
the war, was on convoy duty in
the North and South Atlantic,
his ship being part of the convoy
that accompanied our troops to
Iceland. After Pearl Harbor, his
ship reported back to its base,
and was assigned to duty in the
Pacific. The Vincennes was one
of the cruisers that accompanied
the aircraft carrier Hornet when
General Jimmy Doolittle attack-
ed Tokio last year.
He saw action in the Coral
Sea battle and at Midway. The
ship was part of the convoy
that took our Marines to Guad-
alcanal, and one night in August,
while cruising off Guadalcanal,
the Japs spotted the Vince:enes,
dropped flares ail around her so
our boys couldn't see, and shelled
and tomedoed her. During this
action. Jack was wounded. He
was placed aboard a life raft, and
then floated around for seven or
eight hours, then were.picked up
by one of our destroyers.
The wounded were taken first
to an army hospital at New Cal-
edoiia, then later transferred to
a navy hospital at New Zealand.
Jack was brought back to the
United States on the hospital ship
Solace, and spent some time at
the naval hospital in San Diego.
He is now stationed at the Navy
Procurement office in Detroit.
The members thoroughly en-
joyed his talk about these varied
experiences, and wished him lots
of luck in the future.
The business of the evening
was then taken care of, and res-
idents of Rosedale Gardens were
asked to please remember that
school is out now and there are
more children on the streets, and
to be very careful of their driv-
ing. A child's life is more impor-
tant than getting to .your destina-
tion a minute or two sooner.
Mrs. A. T. Petersen, war club
chairman, announced that out of
404 homes in the Gardens, 375 of
them have Victory gardens.
Mr. Steele, president, announc-
ed the plans fop the fourth of
July celebration had been com-
pleted at which time the dedica-
tion of the Service Men's plaque
will be made.
After the close of the "meeting,
refreshments were served by the
ladies of the Red Cross.
It's illegal to shoot a rabbit out
of season even if the pest is feed-
ing on a Victory Garden, unless
the gardener gets a permit from
P conservation officer. But it is
legal to live -trap a rabbit. Gar-
deners can obtain a sketch of a
simple box trap by writing' R. G.
Hill of the Michigan State Col -
East Lansing. The live rabbits are
turned over to the local game
officer for removal from the vi-
cinity of a garden.

Plans are now being made by
the Rosedale Gardens branch of
the Women's National Farm and
Garden association for their an-
nual flower and vegetable show.
The classes for junior garden-
ers (school children -8th grade
and under) are posted in the
community house, Presbyterian
church and St. Michael's -church.
Boys and girls who have gar-
dens should refer to these lists
for suggestions and information
and start planning now for their
exhibits.
The date of the show has not
.yet been decided upon, but will
probably take place, as in the
past, early in September, at the
Community House in Rosedale
Gardens.
On Wednesday evening, June
9, the members of the Women's
Auxiliary of the Rosedale Gar-
dens Presbyterian church had
their final meeting until Septem-
ber. This was a potluck picnic
supper held in tht basement of
the church at 6:30 p.m. Over 60
members were present.
After the dinner, Mrs. Burt E.
French, president, held a short
business meeting, at which time
it was announced that the by-
laws would be revised over the
summer, and be submitted to the
membership at the first meeting
in the fall. The members to to take up a collection to help
provide the makings for sand-
wiches for the service men who
go to the USO in Detroit, and a
good sum was donated. Several of
the members have served at the
"snack bar" there in recent
months, and plan to go again
on July 16.
At the close of the meeting,
Mrs. S. A. Francis led the group
in a "hymn sing." Mrs. William
Koenig was at the piano.
Chlorate sprays are suggested
as a superior method of control-
ling the poison ivy pest. Many
salt solutions are effective, and
one of the best is a pound of
sodium chloride dissolved in a
gallon of water. Sprayed on the
foliage so that it can permeate
the stem, this solution should
reach the roots and destroy them.
Care should be taken that it does
not reach and. kill desirable
plant nearby, as it may if simply
sprayed on the ground about the
offending ivy.
Not Too Late To Plant Your Victor,
17
specially Date Crops
Despite the rain; despite the soggy ground; despite the lateness
of the season, there is still plenty of time to plant a victory garden.
And remember—
If you can put in a garden—and don't, .you, don't deserve to eat
next winter.
The food situation in the United States is becoming more critical
daily, but information from Michigan State college, which is the final
authority in such matters, declares that potatoes and tomatoes can be
planted in this area up until June 20.
Snap beans, broccoli and cauliflower can be planted successfully
as late as June 25, and even later for fall use. Turnips and rutabagas
can be put in as late as the Fourth of July, and cabbage, beets and
carrots for storage can be planted as late as July 15.
Peas and spinach will find rather tough going this late in the
season, and MSC recommends that edible soy beans be planted to re-
place the peas.
All short crops—radishes, green onions and lettuce, will still
grow. MSC also recommends that successive plantings of sweet corn
be made to prolong that crop.

The Livonia fire department
was called to assist in the ex-
tinguishing of a fire at the home
of George Pyre, 32627 Ann Ar-
bor Trail, Wednesday, June 9.
An excellent job of fire fighting
was done by Chief Gowdy and
his men of the Nankin township
fire department, but due to lack
of water it was thought advisable
to call in assistance to save the
home. The upper floor was dam-
aged to quite an extent but was
made livable a short time after
by the covering of the roof with
building paper. The damage to
the house was of little concern
compared to the fact that Mr:
Pyre succumbed to a heart at-
tack during the progress of the
fire and died while endeavoring
to assist in the removal of some
of the house furnishings.

Mrs. William Flanigan, leader

Gardeners Visit
Cactus Display
The Rosedale Gardens branch
of the Women's National Farm
and Garden Association enjoyed
a picnic lunch at the community
house, followed by a trip to
Ann's Cactus garden on Ann Ar-
bor Trail on Tuesday afternoon,
June 8 as their last meeting un-
til fall.
All who attended enjoyed the
visit to the gardens where over
300 varieties of cacti are on dis-
play, and many unique articles
made from cactus plants. Each
member was happy to avail her-
self of the opportunity to pur-
chase such perfect specimens of
plants.
The members of the club have
been invited to visit the home of
their past president, Mrs. Wil-
liam King of Windsor in July for
a potluck luncheon. Members in-
terested in going are asked to
contact Mrs. A. S. James. The
next meeting of the. garden club
will be held on the second Tues-
day in September.

Do you remember
when light bulbkQ-
looked][S
The young lady in the costume of thirty-three
years ago is holding a 100 -watt light bulb, vintage
of 1910: In those days it was considered a wonder
and people were glad to pay $1.45 for it! Yet it
gave only half as much light as your 100 -watt
lamp of 1943.
Yes—you get twice as much light today for
the electricity you use. But that's not all: Elec-
tricity costs you only about balf as much as it did
the lady in the picture above.
HOW TO GET THE MOST LIGHT
FOR YOUR MONEY
Here are three helpful suggestions that will help
your eyes to get all the light they need — with-
out wasting electricity:
^�- 1. Avoid glare. Glare from bare bulbs or
wrongly placed lamps makes it hard, to see
I-! with comfort, no matter how much light
\ you have.
2. Avoid shadows. When you
read or work in your own shadow f^:",
you are using only a part of the
light that is available. It is just
t
as easy to use it all.
/ 3. Dirt and dust collecting on light bulbs
t, f
and reflectors can cut your light in . half.
Clean them regularly.

Club Growing
Membership Now
Near 200 Mark
Members of the Western Wayne
County Conservation club Mon-
day evening tipped their hats to
Charles Messmore and s a i d
"thank .you."
It was all because, as chairman
of the membership committee, he
has secured so many neer mem-
bers in recent weeks that the
membership which for a number
of years remained dormant at
around 100, is now nearly 200.
When Secretary Ernest Henry
reported that through Mr. Mess-
more's activities, the club would
soon sign up its 200th member,
it ivas moved that a vote of
thanks be extended to Mr. Mess -
more for his good work in behalf
of the organization.
Some excellent war pictures
were shown by Russell Powell.
President Brick Cham -pe recom-
mended that the club send a del=
egate to the state conservation
club convention to be held in
Ionia June 19 and 20 and dele-
gated Elton R. Eaton to represent
the local organization.
Monday night's meeting of the
club was one of the largest since
the recent annual fish dinner.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS.
"How about joinin' us in a game, Judge?..:
I'll drop out for a while:"
"Sorry, Phil, but I can't today ... I'm on
my way up to the hospital to seehow Frank's
wife is coming along. I just dropped by to
give you the answer to that question you
asked me about synthetic rubber yesterday-
n the barber shop. I looked it up and found
)ut that the beverage distilling industry's
acilities for producing grain alcohol make it
)ossible to include 200,000 tons of rubber
from grain in the government's 870,000 ton
synthetic rubber program.
"I also verified the fact that no distiller is
making- whiskey today. They all stopped -
making whiskey last year and are working
night and day, 7 days -a week, producing war
ilcohol for the government... for smokeless
powder, chemical warfare materials, medical
,upplies, as well as for synthetic rubber. It's
a mighty good thing these distilleries were in
existence ready to do this important job."

ka petitioned the Tacoma, Wash:,

Covered Bridges
The general- belief is that bridges
were covered to shelter travelers in
case of storm, but this is not the
real reason. Old-time timber bridges
were constructed with roofs and
sides to protect them from the
weather. According to the United
States Public Roads administration
such housing usually added many
years to the useful life of wooden
bridges.

Staff Sergt. Frank A. Arboline of
Netcong, N. J., now with an army

recently felled a 21 -pound wild boar
with a bow and arrow while hunting

well -aimed shafts brought down the
luckless tusker, which was promptly
the occasion of a boar barbecue.

bruises.
