Dinner, will be served to the workers. The campaign is umier the chairman ship of Harry Burton, who already has selected- his block workers. Verne Steele was elected treasurer of the building fund. The Rev. John B. Forsyth, pas- tor of the church, also is taking an active part in the campaign. He pointed out that the church building how being used is inade- quate to provide for the needs of the community. The church is the only Protestant church within a radius of two miles, and serves all denominations. The plan is to obtain pledges for the $30,000 edifice, which would be paid off :over a period of three years, with construction to start after the war, and mate- rials become available. No plans have been made- for a church structure. Mr. Burton said that after the war is over and the materials become avail- able, that the church will elect a committee which will work with a competent architect to build the church. It has not been decided whether the pres- ent building will be torn down, or whether it will be used as an auxiliary structure. It is planned to buy series F and G war bonds with the money raised as rapidly as it is paid into the treasurer. Mr. Forsyth pointed out that the church now lacks many re- quired facilities. For instance, he said, three church school groups now meet in the Rose- dale Gardens community club house on Sunday mornings. Many .persons who attend the church have pointed out that it just doesn't seem they are in a church. The dining facilities are far inadequate, and the church leaders feel that an auditorium with a stage for programs and plays are a necessity. There also is "a great need for a .parlor for women's activities, and a choir robing room, as well as adequate -offices for the pastor and choir director. It is pointed out by the lead- ers of the c4mpaign that the church almost from its inception has operated free of debt, and it is the desire of the present lead- ers to continue that program. Thus, they feel that the money for the new edifice should be raised, and the cash should be available, when it comes time to erect the new building. Fire Destroys Moore Garage Fire caused by a leaky oil stor- age tank destroyed the garage of J. Moore; Santa Anita avenue, Sunday morning. I No damage was done to homes on either side of Mr. Moore's home, but it was said that fishing equipment stored - in the garage was destroyed to- gether with the new door that had recently been erected. It was estimated that the total dam- age was $500.00. 0 Nineteen thousand Norwegian refugees are now in Sweden and 7;000 of them are earning their own way by working "in forest, agriculture, industry and road construction," according to an article in the .Swedish newspa- per, Dagens Nyheter. "The ref- ugees offer a possibility for -per- sonal contact and a ,.foundation for friendly Swedish -Norwegian relations that may be far more decisive for the future than theo- retical political plans," • the article commented. Electric fuses of too high amp- erage are the cause of more than 1;040 fires weekly in the United States.

ELECTRICITY is NOT rationed. — Let's keep it that way by Electricity is cheap and unrationed and _there is no shortage of electricity in this area. But because there is an urgent need to save coal and manpower and trans- portation for war, the Government is ask- ing for VOLUNTARY conservation. This means turning off all lights not actually in use. It means remembering to turn off the cellar light and the porch light and lamps in unoccupied rooms. It means the careful use of electric appliances. It means keeping lamp bulbs and reflectors dust -free, and „sharing the light" wher- ever possible by making one reading lamp serve two people. If you and every other American will do these things, thousands of tons of coal will be saved every day --coal critically seeded NOW. No one wants electricity added to the fast of things rationed. All of us would rather save VOLUNTARILY. Here is a chance to prove that voluntary, self-imposed rationing will work, The Detroit Edison Company.

German was the mother tongue of 4,950,000; Ital- ian of 3,767,000; Polish of 2,416,- ,0-00; Spanish of 1,861,000; Yiddish of 1,751,000; and French of 1,- 412,000. _ Tenants living in federally aid- ed housing projects are no longer evicted when their income rises above a maximum of about $1,200 a year, being. allowed to remain by paying a higher rent. Illus- trative of the big differences that now exist in these rents may be cited those of -a Chicago proj- ect in which a $900 -income fam- ily pays $17 a month, . while a $3,000 -income family pays $52 a month, or three times as much, for an identical five -room apart- ment. Up to the war, 90 per cent of America's 2,800,000 business em- ployed less than eight persons apiece.

The largest collection of wood samples in the world is in the School of Forestry of Yale Uni- versity.

Negroes constitute at least 5,- 500 of America's 8,000 professional pugilists, both in and out of the military services.

The GeM^ au' commander demanded 10 hostages as .guarantee that the ship would not be blown up nor scuttled. The captain of the "Ingolf" said, "I can't prevent you from taking the hostages but I must call you .attention to the fact that the seacocks are already open." The Germans put their ten hostages in a row on the deck, when suddenly a signal sounded, the whole Danish crew, hostages and all, jumped over- board, and :deafening explosions shook the ship. --o -- Sheep born in the fall and early winter, when sold in the suckling stage between two and four months of age, are known as hot- house lambs. The animals not only have to be raised with spe- cial care, but they constitute only one in about every 25,000 sheep slaughtered here annually. Con- sequently, their meat is a rare and expensive delicacy and most of it is purchased by fine restau- rants and other luxury trade. 0 Try Livonian Want Ads.

Force in En -gland have op- ened a hobby shop. Here the boys spend their spare time mak- ing toys for English children— model tanks, fire trucks, cradles, tommy-guns, little w000den loco- motives, racing automobiles, with real windshields. The boys go to the schools in poorer dis- tricts and ask the teacher which children need things and what they like the most. The boys set a goal of 2,400 toys to be made and stuffed with candy and gum from their weekly rations. But what is freedom? Rightly understood, a universal licensa to be good.—Hartley Coleridge. 0 Try Livonian Want Ads.

We colored a pic- ture of a pilgrim boyand the Mayflower. We are learning about the first Thanksgiving. We learned now to draw a snow man to celebrate our first heavy snow. Grade One: We have been studying the earthworm and now we have cause to wonder, why our fathers who are fishermen do not take lessons from the robin, who so well knows how to catch the earthworm bait. On Friday afternoons we have story telling and Paul Schu- macher, who is our class presi- dent, takes charge. Our parlia- mentary order is much to be :proud of in grade one. Second and Third: Dorothy Hacker is back to school after having her tonsils removed. Del- bert .Morgeli and Bobby Tate have been absent because of ill- ness. The second and third grades contributed about $3.00 to the Junior Red Cross Fund. Third and Fourth: We -bought $5.50 worth of defense stamps this week. Several are absent because of colds. Fifth and Sixth: For Junior Red Cross this week we are weaving, afghans. Luella Heiss had her appendix out and we are sending her a box of candy. Our teacher, Miss Bridge is also sick with the flu. Henry Coopersmith and Elea- nor Harleton are the good Citi- zens for this week. Seventh and Eighth: The sev- enth and eighth grades have Mrs. Huff for a teacher all day now. The eighth grades have learned some more new arithmetic prob- lems this week also. Our room bought only two dol- lars and forty cents worth of de- fense stamps last week. We were down real low last week. WILCOX SCHOOL First Grade: We are drawing pictures of Pilgrims and Indians. We enjoyed the Thanksgiving story ;Mr. Gilmore told us Thurs- day. We helped in the waste paper drive. We had fun weighing the paper that we brought. Second and Third Grades: The third grade boys, under the very capable direction of Leonard Sla- pinshas, are making a board feed- ing shelter. We are contributing materials for sewing kits to be given to the service men. The upper grade girls have volunteered to assemble the kits, which will be turned over to the Junior Red Cross for distribution. Grades three and four: Mr. Gilmore visited our room Thurs- day. He told us a Thanksgiving story. The third grade made books about cotton. We have some cot- ton balls we received from the south this fall. Our room won second place in the scrap paper drive. We col- lected 5,258 pounds. The following pupils received an A in spelling this week: Elton Fisher, Erma Kiser, Marlyon Ben- nett, Lyman Schulz, Katherine Sowers, Margaret Pelzer. Miss Jameson visited us this week, Wednesday. We enjoyed telling her what we have learned about the desert people. Fifth and Sixth Grades: The fifth and sixth grades have ob- served "Book Week" by discus- sing how to take care of books, making posters, and reading books. We have read 76 books this year. We enjoyed having Miss Jame- son visit us Wednesday.. Those receiving A in spelling this week are: Barbara Babcock, Donald Bates, Dorothy Fox, Ron- ald Hritzkowin, James Lane, Tommy Masserang, Louise Os-. wald, Lynn Rickert, Sylvia Bell, Nancy Valentine, Janice Wenzil, and Gerald Martiin. Our room won in the scrap paper drive. We collected 5,631 pounds. The whole school col- lected 10 tons. The Seventh Grade wishes that we could publish the list of parents and good neighbors who so willingly helped us gather waste paper for the paper drive. Through their cooperation, we collected 2,450 pounds of paper. We wish to express our gratitude to them. We are making pictures of Pil- grims on our bulletin board. Our room has drawn Pilgrims sitting around a table with Indians and the women are bringing food to the table. In the picture are cabins and trees and you can see the Atlantic Ocean in the back- ground. For our Junior Red Cross ac- tivities, the girls are making and stuffing animal toys and the boys are making ash trays. Our ani- mals consist of dogs, cats, squir- rels, penguins, bears, and other animals. The boys are making ash trays of tin cans and are painting 'tnem red. They are very pretty. Leslie Wright and Raymond Oswald have made clay models of Miles Standish, John Alden, Pris- cilla and the Indian chief. Eighth Grade: The eighth grade C. J. C. is greatly pleased with the splendid response of other rooms in the waste paper drive and wishes to congratulate Mrs. Weaver's room for their ef- forts in bringing the most in. Much credit is due the other rooms, too. Their interest and cooperation has helped to make this project a great success. The parents also are deserving of rec- ognition in this campaign. To all who helped, we wish to express our appreciation. ELM SCHOOL The third and fourth grades have learned "Thanksgiving Joys," a poem. The fifth and sixth grades are busy making menu covers and posters to send to the Junior Red Cross for Christmas. We have a new pupil, Stanley Miller, in our fifth grade. A new girl, Marilyn Miller, has entered the first grade. This makes 47 first grade children on half day session. The kindergarten children are learning safety, and health rules. The seventh and eighth grades are contributing old white cloth to the American Society for the Control of Cancer. They are also planning some -Christmas gloom chasers for veterans in hos- pitals.

Shirley Porte had a birthday Thursday. She was six years old. Fifth and Seventh Grades: Bar- bara. Dawson is in the hospital on account of an operation for,, appendicitis, and Bruce' Avey is "absent with intestinal flu. We hope they will be well and back in school soon. Miss Jameson visited our his- tory class and made a few help- ful suggestions. She suggested that the fifth and seventh grades have their history classes to- gether. It is working out fine. Miss Jameson gave a small ivy vine for our room to Mrs. Water- man when she attended Teacher's Reading Club at Newburg church hall Tuesday evening. We have next Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving. Defense stamps sales in our room have risen to the amount of $16.50 for this week. Twenty- three percent of our people pur- chased them.
