Send hristmas LIVONIA TOWNSHIP'S ONLY OFFICIAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Mail Now SaysAW 1 Postmaster Greeting, IV%JNIAN Cards, `> arBusiness Office, Plymouth Mail Building, Plymouth, Michigan. Packages Should Be Entered at the Plymouth, Michigan Subscription rice. $1.00 y g p per year. Sent Immediately Post Office as second class mail matter.: 5 cents per single copy. This is war, Mrs. Jones, and it extends to the furthermost part of this nation, It extends to your grocer, your hair dresser—anal Mrs. Jones— to your post office. Just because the postal service is government operated, it has no "open sesame" --to the labor problem: . And the result is that if you want your Christmas packages and your Christmas greetings de- liverEd before Christmas, then you're going to have to help out. The postoffice doesn't want you to come in and work, nor to de- liver parcels and letters, but there are a few regulations which are "must" this year if the pack- ages are to be delivered. For instance "mail early." And that means early. It means in November, even for the Christ- mas greetings. Otherwise, there is going to be the regular rush, and the postoffice just doesn't have the help to handle a 'rush. Then, in the matter of pack- ages. Wrap them carefully and securely. There is a lot of new help this year, a lot of help that isn't entirely cognizant of the manner in which parcels should be handled. For the protection of the gift, be sure it is wrapped carefully and in such a manner that it won't break. And wrap it. Unwrapped boxes will not be insured. The postoffice is urging every- one to use only first class mail. Cards with cent and a half post- age, are thrown in the dump if they are not delivered to the ad- dress on the letter. Letters or cards with three cents postage are forwarded. And letters over- seas with only cent and a half ,aostage, won't even be accepted. The men are moved too much to bother with them. And money in rural mail boxes, with the patron expecting the postman to stick the stamp on the letter, is simply out. It always has been against regulations, but this year it is a positive order. No spinach on money. Buy stamps in advance. And the shortage of help, and the acquisition of new help has resulted in the establishment of zones in the larger cities. Use the zone number, when you know it, and if you don't know it, the post office here in Plymouth has a thousand zone books, and they'll be glad to give you one.

The Best Place to Buy World War II BLACK DIAMOND: Help to save coal by conserving electricity Long ago, coal acquired the title 'BLACK DIA- MOND." Coal is precious today because it is a critical war material, because it is needed to run steel mills and railroads and power plants as well as to.heat our homes. Thousands of tons of coal are required every day in Edison power plants to make the electricity used by war plants and homes and business places in this area. If you use less electricity, less coal will be burned: The problem is as simple as that. Anything you can do to save electricity also saves coal. That is why the Government asks for the utmost conservation in your use of electric power. Be care- ful in your use of electric appliances and equip- ment—turn off immediately when the task is completed. In home or office or factory, turn off lights not in use. Clean lamp bulbs and reflectors regularly. Don't leave the radio turned on when not listening to it. -Share the light" so that one lamp can serve two or more people. These things are small in themselves. But this conservation program, which includes ALL utility services, will save thousands of tons of coal vitally needed for v¢ar. The Detroit Edison Company. CONSERVE ELEC'T'RICITY Even a 5% saving .n the znonthiy use of electric- ;ty byDetrort Edison customers will save about mrrlln WORM190 CARLOADS OF COAL PER MONTH 1:800 14,000 TRAIN—MILES MANH.OURS Wednesday, December 1; 1943 Farmers,Oppose Subsidy scheme Will Produce, But Not For Bribery Maybe some of the great city newspapers think farm subsidy is O.K. Maybe the highly paid war workers think it swell to have the taxpayers pay some of their food costs --but Michigan farmers Look upon, farm subsidies as nothing more than a•vote buying scheme. At least that is the sentiment about here, and it is the 100 per - Cent sentiment of the National Grange, . according to Samuel Spicer, who was one of the dele- gates of the Plymouth Grange at the Grand Rapids national con- vention. "Farmers are going to produce 511 they can to help feed this nation. They are going to pro- duce it as a patriotic duty. But we are opposed to the subsidy scheme because it =helps only the big fellow. The little farmer, like myself, ;gets nothing out of it," said Mr. Spicer. Others from Plymouth at the Grange convention from the Ply- mouth organization were Mrs. Spicer, - Mrs. Jesse Tritten and daughter ands Mr. and Mrs. Max Swegles. The Grange will install its new officers at a meeting on Thurs- day ;evening, December 2. There will be a Pot luck supper. Here and Thee As U. S. Army regulations permit the Chief of Staff and the former Chiefs of Staff to design their own uniforms and acces- sories, General Charles P. Sum- merail, who held this office from February 23, 1929; to November 20, 1930, wore five stars instead Of the usual four. The latest Episcopal Hymnal, finished recently after six years' work by a commission, contains approximately 600 hymns. Com- pared with the previous book, 200 have been added and 160 have been dropped, including The Rattle Hymn of the Republic. An innovation in the new edition is the omission of "Amen" at the end of all hymns except those of praise or prayer. New York City. now has an academy of jitterbugging where hepeats 'are taught jazz, swing, solid jaboo and other forms of rugeutting as a high art by pro- fessionals, one of whom is a na- tive African authority on jungle dances. Of the 5,000,000 war prisoners now interned by the Axis, only 24,500 are Americans, 6,000 of these being held in 18 German -camps in four countries and 18,- 500 in 42 Japanese camps in seven countries. The Mt. Van Hoevenberg bob- sled run at Lake ;Placid, New York, is the only one in this country 'built according to inter- national specifications. It was constructed at a cost of $200,000 to handle the bobsled races of the Olympic Games held there in 1932. Incidentally, America won then as it did in Switzerland in 1928, when the sport was first included on the Olympic pro- gram.

In several cases under, poor visibility, whales have been mistaken for U-boats and torpedoed. The mace, or symbol of au- thority, of the Speaker of the House- of Representatives stands in a -pedestal at his right hand during every session. When a member ignores the order of the Speaker to be silent and resume his seat, the Speaker reminds one and all of. his position and power by having the mace carried around the room. The President -of the United States may order the official rec- ognition of a foreign government without recourse to Congress. Parachute jumping records have never yet been officially recognized and registered by either a civil ar a governmental organization, in this country. Stores operated by American industrial companies for their employees have grown so in re- cent years that they now num- ber 4,200, serve about 2,000,000 families and do a total annual business of more than $1,400,000,- 0.00. Some 2,800 are run by. coal companies, 625 by lumber com- panies and the other 775 chiefly by steel corporations, textile mills and chemical concerns. American battleships being built today .are still limited not only in width by the ' Panama Canal, but also in height by the Brooklyn Bridge under which which they have to pass to reach the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

A bed patient will appreciate the relief given by a support placed under the knees. Make a cotton blanket or pillow into a firm roll, tie with tape to hold in shape, and cover with heavy towel or pillow slip. An enema syringe should be carefully cleaned after use if the possibility of carrying :an infec- tion into the bowels is 'to be avoided. 'Wash syringe with soap and water; boil for five minutes; rinse in cold water, drain dry and wrap in .clean cloth. It is important that the baby or child learn to like the foods that his body needs. Forcing him to eat some special food very probably will be the means of developing an aversion to it. Give but one new food at a time. Start with a small amount of- fered at the first of the meal while the baby is hungry. Do not start a new food when the child is emotionally upset, for he may unconsciously develop an un- pleasant mental association. A screen is desirable in a sick room to protect the patient from an open door or window, or to Page 3 keep utensils associated with ill- ness out .of sight.
