STERLING EATON, Publisher PLYMOUTH, MICHIGAN Phone Plymout,. 16 Vol. 4 No. 31; Wednesday, Sept. 29, 1943 Purple Heart Is Awarded To Soldier Fred Millard Jr. To Fred Millard Jr., who is recovering from critical wounds received when doz- ens of fragments from an ex- ploding shrapnel hit him, has been awarded the Purple Heart, according to advices received from somewhere in the distant Middle East. The young lad, who en- tered military services in January and was sent over seas within six months from the time of induction into the army, was wounded some- time during the summer, as far as known at present, pro- bably in North Africa or Sicily. He has been taken to a hospital somewhere along the Mediterranean s e a where, according to late re- ports, he is making an excel- lent recovery from his wounds. From what can be learned, however, it is not expected he will be able to return to active combat duty. Through the cooperation of the war department, Mrs. Millard had the pleasure of sending a five word message by radio to her son last week. o— The third annual Fall Festival was held at the Livonia Center school on Saturday, September 18th at 7 p. m. It was a huge success and the proceeds amounted to $180.00. A free circus was put on for the .youngsters, three trained ponies and seven trained dogs and a trained monkey did their usual run of tricks for the chil- dren and I think the older folks enjoyed it, too. On the Midway was a fishpond, shooting gallery, ball throwing games, dart games, coca cola stand and as always at a carnival pop corn and peanuts. A lunch stand attracted much at- tention with hot dogs and cof- fee, pies, cake, ice cream and pop. The fortune telling tent had a line up at all times. (Continued on page 4 Ll I 1 1 .

DETROIT EDISON CUSTOMERS The War Production Board has asked The Detroit Edison Company -and all electric utilities to cooperate in -a nationwide .vol-. untarry program to reduce the use of electricity. Electricity is cheap and unrationed, and in our Company there is no shortage of generating plant or distribution facilities. But electricity requires thousands of tons of coal per day in its manufacture—be- sides manpower, transportation and other critical materials. The coal situation is a matter of vital importance to everyone and when you save electricity you save coal, as well as many other materials needed for war. Direct savings in lighting and power can be obtained by turning off lights which for a time you can get along without, and by using only essential electrical equip- ment. No effort need be made to curtail necessary military, aviation and police lighting, or lighting essential to public health—including light for eyesight con- servation and safety. Nor will plant pro- tection lighting, transportation, or light for production purposes be, affected. ALL public utilities are included in this nationwide conservation program—gas, telephone, water, transportation—as well as electricity. Your help and the help of all our customers will make the program a success. Here is an opportunity to prove that patriotic self-imposed, voluntary rationing can work. The Detroit Edison Company. A 3 per' cent saving in the Detroit Edison monthly output of electricity will save approximately 7,000 TONS OF COAL PER MONTH (117 CARLOADS) S�8,500 TRAM �rSP "r1:n AT.ON �.

The young couple met a year ago when both were on a vacation trip to Toronto, Canada.
