Doughnut flour and shortening, sufficient to make a million and a half doughnuts for our men in North Africa, were part of the huge shipment; also 20 portable pianos for tied Cross clubs and Red Cross hospital recreation rooms established in Tunisia. The doughnut flour and coffee are chiefly for use in the Red Cross club mobiles now plying the roads of North Africa to carry comfort to American fighting men in isolated flying fields or other outposts. To maintain sup- plies for the club mobiles, the Red Cross expects to ship month- ly 300 barrels of doughnut flour, 15,000 pounds of shortening and several tons of coffee. An indication of the tremend- ous quantities of supplies being sent for distribution to the Unit- ed States fighting men by the Red Cross is contained in a ship- ment recently made to four posts in the South Pacific. This ship- ment included, among other things, 51,000 packs of razor blades; 50,000 tubes of dental cream; 50,000 tooth brushes; 50,- 000 combs; 50,090 tubes of shav- ing cream; 25,000 towels and wash cloths; 50,000 sewing kits; 100,000 bars of soap; 50,000 packs of chewing gum; 34,000 razors; 37.000 books; 600;000 cigarettes; 7,764 jig -saw puzzles; 50,000 cho- colate bars. Escort vessels of the British and other allied navies are now being equipped with Red Cross emergency clothing kits for res- cued seamen, identical to those supplied to the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. Expansion of this service, inaugurated last July, was requested of the Red Cross by the British Admiralty. Including a dozen items for personal use, slacks, underwear, sweat -shirt, socks, sandals and assorted toilet articles and acces- sories, these kits have proved a genuine boon to men rescued from lifeboats and rafts after days of hardship and torture. The kits are assembled in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, (Continued on Pane 6 LIVONIA TOWNSHIP'S ONLY OFFICIAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER THI I E LIVONIAN Business Office, Plymouth Mail Building, Plymouth, Michigan.

Mrs. G. C. Cook who is chairman of this project announced that various sports equipment had been pur- chased with the money in the special fund set aside for this purpose. A well rounded program for all ages, kindergarten through eighth grade has been planned. A discussion followed as to the type of program desired by the membership for the coming year, and it was decided to leave the planning of this up to the discre- tion of the program committee. How To Defeat Black Market In an effort 'to fully advise the producers and consumers of Wayne county as to the serious- ness of the meat situation and to seek the patriotic and complete cooperation in efforts to make available more meat supplies for our fighting men, steps are be- ing taken by the newly organized war meat committee to inaugur- ate a county -wide educational campaign in the immediate fu- ture, stated Chairman Matthew H. Tinkham of Wayne yester- day. Not only does the committee plan to get information to both producers and consumers as to the necessity of diverting to reg- ular and legal channels every pound of meat available for mar- keting purposes, but the commit- tee plans to provide county -wide information pertaining to the re- strictions that have been set up on slaughter of livestock and the permit system for slaughtering that is now in force. Chairman Tinkham stated that he was convinced exceedingly few residents of the county know how extensive are the reg- ulations set up for the control of the marketing of meat in order that our military needs are met and that civilian requirements are cared for. The county war meat commit- tee urges that people live within their rationing points, that they refuse to buy meat -from black markets and that they destroy all rationing points not .needed. * Buy War Bonds * Warning YOU ARE REQUESTED BY THE TOWN- SHIP WATER DEPARTMENT TO REFRAIN FROM USING WATER BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 4 AND 11 P.M.

Library hours will be as usual, Thursdays 3-6 and 7-9. 0 Church School Proves Success Ninety-two children were en- rolled in the annual Community Vacation school, which closed last Friday at the Rosedale Gardens Presbyterian church. The school was planned as a venture in world friendships for children and the theme for the Primary and Junior groups was "The Church and America's Peoples." Mrs. Verne D. Steele was lead- er of the kindergarten group which met eight mornings at the Community House. Mrs. Steele was assisted by Mrs. J. F. Morris, Mrs. L. A. Steele, Mrs. William Koenig, and Mrs. Von D. Pol- hemus. Mrs. E. F. Bentley help- ed with the enrollment of pupils on the opening day. The kinder- garten program included quiet playing, outdoor play, rest pe- riod, stories, conversation, music, and handicraft. The Primary department .in the church basement was under the direction of Mrs. Harvey Odgers and Mrs. Don Pickles, with 38 children enrolled. Others who assisted during the term were Mrs. H. J. Olson, Mrs. Frederick Brayton, and Mrs. W. C. Henrion. Registrations on the opening day were in charge of Mrs. Von D. Polhemus. In addition to singing, story telling, and outdoor games, a number 'of interesting hand- work projects were carried out. The largest group of children met in the Church auditorium with Mrs. G. C. Butt as leader of the older class and Mrs. W. H. Culbertson in charge of the younger group. Worship services were conducted by groups of pupils as well as by Rev. John B. Forsyth, director of the school. and Mrs. B. S. Nathanson served as organist each morning. Mrs. Culbertson was assisted by Mrs. Tony Mepyans, Ila May Culbert- son, Nancy Lou Pettibone and Mrs. Nathanson. Barbara Stover was the helper for Mrs. Butt's Class. This section of the vaca- tion school studied the many races and nationalities which make up America and gave par- ticular emphasis to Jews and Negroes. An interesting feature of the older group's program, was a student council elected by the pupils to make school policy, plan the outdoor recreation and ap- point various pupils committees. Members of this council were Mary Rolen, Secretary,; Wendell Culbertson, Marilyn Nelson, Va- lerie Perkins, Owen Hedden, and Ruth Balkema. Under the direc- tion of the council, a group of pupils wrote and published a va- cation school newspaper. Sally Ann Holcomb was editor of this paper. 0 Despite the nation's need for tin, two of each three empty tin cans still- are being thrown away and not salvaged, the fed- eral war production board re- ports.

Last Day To Get Dog Licenses Today is the last day to reg- ister ,your dog without paying a double dog'tax. Fees automatic- ally double after July 1. To date there have been 375 dogs regis- tered with dog pound master, Charles Cansfield, at the town- ship hall. It is estimated that there are over 1000 dogs. within the town- ship limits and all those not reg- istered are subject to impound- ing and in order for owners to re- lease them an extra fee must be paid at the pound. Township officials also warn operators of dog kennels that they must 'secure licenses to oper- ate their kennels. All licenses must be secured at the township hall on Five Mile road., ` Farmers around Livonia will have a short strawberry crop this year, it was reported in reliable circles this week. One farmer reported that be- cause of the heavy spring rains that his strawberries would not last more than two weeks. The ordinary crop yields for about three weeks. Because of the short crop, the price is held high, being some- thing more than twice the cost of last year. One producer of strawberries said that many of the berries were rotting in the field before ripen- ing. Many fields were covered with water during the polinization season, too, which prevented buds from maturing into berries. The general price of strawber- ries at the farms is between 30 and 35 cents. Few berries were shipped into this market from other produc- ing sections because of the poor rail transportation. :. ,�, 1 In State To Help At the complaint of Justice of the Peace Joe Grace, sheriff's of- ficers and state police are inves- tigating the dumping of offal in the branch of the Rouge river that crosses Seven Mile road near Inkster road. Residents in that area have complained for some time of the odor arising from the river and inspection revealed that it had frequently been flooded with barrels of offal dumped by some- one in that neighborhood. A complaint has also been made to the stream pollution department of the Department of Conserva- tion in Lansing who it is hoped will take immediate action on the problem. Mom's Club Meets Tuesday, July 6 All members of the Mom's club of Livonia township, wheth- er they are active or not, are asked to remember that the next meeting of the club will be held at the township hall on Tuesday, July 6 at 2 p.m. This is a very important meet- ing, as the election of officers will be held, and members are especially urged to make an ef- fort to attend.

Between Chicago and Joy A century ago a small-town lawyer and politician noticed that many people were :poor and few were rich. He did not get distressed over it, or . want to make over the world. Said he: "That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good." The law- yer's name was Abraham Lin- coln.

Plymouth, Michigan WATCHERS F THE SKY Night and day, at lonely outposts in northern; ,Michigan., thousands of air spotters voluntarily undergo hardship and loss of sleep to protect our industrial areas from bombing raids. They rarely get into the headlines. Often they watch patiently through the hours without seeing or hearing a plane. But the duty they so faithfully, perform is vital. In case of air attack it will be their traii-ied eyes and ears that detect the approach of Axis bombers. A telephone stands ready in every spotter's post. With the words "Army plash" the spotter gets an immediate connection with the nearest army information center. And if the aircraft he reports cannot be identified as friendly, fighter planes roar into the air at once to intercept the enemy. At the same time all Civilian Defense centers in, the threatened area are warned by tele. phone to prepare for a raid. Citizens of ,Michigan who sleep soundly in their beds at home owe a debt of gratitude to the Aircraft Warning ,Service.

The whole operation is mechanical: Powerful electric motors turn the rollers that guide the steel on its way. Electric motors of five thousand horsepower operate the huge sheet mills and the great "flying shears" that snip off chunks of steel like paper. Electricity opens and closes the doors of the open- heart:i furnaces where the molten steel is refined. Elec- tricity operates the furnace fans and valves and a variety of auxiliary equipment. Electricity runs the 125 -ton crane. Electricity picks up the 175 -ton ladle that pours the molten steel into molds. Electricity drives the 200 -ton "stripper," which lifts the mold in a pair of giant "ice -tongs" and pun -hes the ingot from the mold with a huge plunger. Without electric power, the flow of armor plate for today's tanks and ships and guns would be only a dribble. This is just one more job that electricity is doing to help win the war. The Detroit Edison Com- pany. Electricity is not rationed. But its production requires coal and railroad transportation. Don't waste it! 8 Page 8 THE LIVONIAN,.
