The generosity of the Livonia township people for the purchase of the station wagon for the Li- vonia Red Cross has made this service possible, also our motor corps, Mrs. W. E.

Will Pick Up Cans April 15 There will be a tin can pickup in Livonia township on Saturday, April 15. The last pickup, which was January 15, was .a huge suc- cess and we transported two and one-half .truck loads of flattened cans to the railroad at the Detroit house of correction. We wish to' thank everyone for their support in the last drive and are in hopes this will \ be just as successful. The trucks will pick up tin cans on all paved roads running east and west, such as Five Mile road, Schoolcraft, Plymouth road, etc., in the township. Have your cans prepared and ready for the pickup so that they canbe picked up on Saturday, April 1.5. You would not let our :boys down for the sake of flattening or saving a tin can would you? These -cans are urgently needed :to win this war both for tin and the steel that are in .them. v The Friendship circle of the "Li- vonia Community church met at the church on Tuesday, March 28, and sewed on bandages for the White Cross. We :had a nice group out for this meeting and are in hopes they will all :be out again on Wednesday, pril 5, at 10 a.m. This is to be an ,all -day meeting with a pot -luck luncheon at noon.

No. 7 Wednesday, April 5, 1944 LIVONIA TO VOTL ON SCHOOL CONSOLIDA Special Flection Called for April 22 in Township The .county - board of education received. Monday the .petitions from a group of citizens of the township for an election on the question -of consolidation, ap- proved the petitions, and set April 22 for the election. All -of the school electors :of the township :are eligible to vote— that is, all property owners and all persons with children between the ages of 5 and 19. The county board of education will conduct the election, and the voting will :be in the regular voting precincts. Final arrange- ments are under the direction of C o u n t y Superintendent Fred Fischer. Consolidation -of the school dis- tricts of the township is the first step in the proposed construction of a high school in the township. At the present ,time, 234 Li- vonia high school students from six districts are now enrolled in the Plymouth high school. Approval of consolidation of the Livonia schools does not neces- sarily mean immediate construc- tion of a high school. Ifconsolidation should be ap- proved, the next step would be the election of township school officials to replace the present school officials who operate in individual schools. This is one of the principal ar- guments in Livonia township. Some of the school districts are Rosedale School Has Open House Residents of Rosedale Gardens and parents and friends of the pupils of the Rosedale school are asked to be present at the next meeting of the PTA of that school .to see and .admire the work that has been done by the pupils. A very short business meeting will be held, at which time Miss Low - her, school nurse, will speak on the "Summer Roundup of Chil- dren." After this, the rooms will be opened to all present for the dis- plays of woodworking, clay mod- eling, art work, and other collec- tions and hobbies on which they have been working for the past several weeks. Several interest- ing adult displays and hobbies will also be shown, and one of the main features will be the showing of the work dene in the adult sewing class that has met weekly for ;the last two months under the direction of Mrs. C. Humphries of Plymouth. There will also be a pattern exchange, and anyone having up-to-date women's and children's patterns now debt free, and they argue that they ,would be forced to as- sume their portion .of theindebt- edness of those school districts which are not debt free. Proponents of the -consolidation plan :argue that under present conditions they have no control over the education of the high school children, because that is handled for the most part by the Plymouth school -board. But on the other hand, opponents of the pian argue that -because of the long establishment of the Plym- outh schools, and the high stand- ing of Plymouth high school in the state, ,that children will get a better education in the Plym- outh schools than in any new school which might be established in Livonia township. Proponents of consolidation deny that argu- ment. Proponents of the consolidation argue that now is the time for consolidation in order that bids for federal aid in •construction of a high school building may be made, -but opponents state that there is no hurry about consoli- dation for a building cannot be constructed now anyway. There are seven school districts in Livonia township, and there is a population of about 15,000 persons. It is therefore estimated that there are approximately 3,- 000 school electors. If consolidation is avproved, it does not follow that a high school will be erected immediately. That will require another vote of the electorate. with which they are finished are asked to bring them to this ex- change. The 4-H food preparation groups will also show some of their work, including a display of what constitutes a good break- fast, .and a demonstration, of how a tableshould be set. All :this, and more, too, will take place at the school in Rose- dale Gardens on Tuesday eve- ning; April 11, ,at 8 p.m., and all residents of the -community are most cordially invited to attend. GIRLS' SERVICE SQUAD The girls' service squad from grades five and six entertained their own .group and the teachers of the Livonia Center school at a delightful luncheon on Friday, March 24. This Friday, March 31, the girls service squad from the seventh and eighth grades are en- tertaining their group. The -moth- ers of these girls have cooperated greatly in the success of these luncheons. Miss June Venus, who is the group bresident, extends to these mothers 'her thanks in be- half of the entire group. Service League Speaker Here On Wednesday evening, April 12, the members of .the Women's auxiliary of the Rosedale Gar- dens Presbyterian -church will hold their regular monthly meet- ing at 8 P.M. As the special guest speaker for the evening, G, Gunderson of the Christian Service league will show pictures of what hap- pens to your boy after he leaves home for camp. Everyone in .the community is most ,cordially invited to attend this meeting, especially the par- ents of men and women in serv- ice. The men of the community are especially invited, as :the pro- gram will be of great interest to them. At ;the close of the program a silver collection will :be taken and presented to Mr. Gunderson to further the work of this great Christian -organization. The business meeting will be very brief, and Mrs. B. E. French will announce the new committee chairmen, and speak shortly about the plans for the year ahead. Following the meeting, refresh- ments will :be served by Mrs. H. Walborn and her committee. Members are asked to keep in mind that the May meeting will be held on May 17 instead of May 10.

Mrs. Effie Searl was in charge of the program, which consisted of Gordon Stokes, Marvin op_ land and Joe Cicirelli giving a demonstration on the use of the American fi.ag, which was very interesting. At 10:30 refreshments were served by Mrs. Henry Boehmer and her committee on Laurel road. The Livonia Center Book club met at the home of Mrs. Alvis Cusick on Bennett street in De- troit on Thursday, March 29.
