Interesting Facts Are Revealed About School These are busy days and eve- nings for the parents of school children in Livonia township. They are asking :themselves and others many questions about their schools. The answers to some of their questions have ;been rather startling. They find, for instance, . that they have as many children of school age in Livonia :township as there are in Plymouth city, Plymouth township, Northville village and Northville township combined. The valuation of tax- able property in Livonia, ,they have discovered, is more ,than seven and a half millions, as com- pared with Plymouth's eleven and a half million, Redford Union's five and a half million and North- ville's two million, eight hundred -thousand. With these facts in mind, ,these fathers and mothers are asking themselves why they cannot have a high school in Livonia, since" neighboring :high schools have al- ready begun to refuse to bake ninth :graders from Livonia. In their investigations, they have learned that :the only means by which they can have a high school of their own is throug consoli- dation of present districts, since no one district could possibly sup- port a high school comparable with Plymouth, Northville or Red- ford Union. And, !of course, they want a good high school. Since .the legislature of the state has made funds available for, -one-half the cost of plans of new school construction, and since it is highly .probable that either -the state of Michigan or the United States will make funds available at :the :close of the war for a portion of :the cost of the construction of school buildings, it is very necessary, they have learned, that the first. stens lie taken without delay, if Livonia is to be in a position to partici- pate. They seem to remember :that the districts which were already to go when the federal works agency 'began to function were the ones -who received the bene- fits. Fathers and mothers of :children now in grade school are looking forward with fear that when the war is over; the number of chil- dren in the neighboring high school districts will be so great that Livonia children will be de- nied a high school education 11— less Livonia has a high. school of its own. They have heard that l 'there are many children in the southern :portion of Wayne county who have finished the work of the eighth grade in the rural schools -but who cannot .go ,to high )School because; there is no high school in the area which will ad- mit ,them. They do not want that to :happen in Livonia. . In studying the -consolidation plan, ,the fathers and mothers learn ,that there are many advan- tages for the grade school chil- dren which they do not now have. They have discovered that in other consolidated schools in Michigan the children :have music (vocal and instrumental), fine arts, manual arts, shop, etc.,- and they want ,these privileges for Li- vonia children. They know that transportation in 'consolidated dis- tricts is paid by the state for grade children and high school children while in their present districts all ,transportation costs must be borne locally. They have found that when Livonia schools are consolidated the state of Michi- gan will reimburse the parents for cost of transportation of high school students to Plymouth, Northville, Redford Union or ather :high schools.

They see not only much benefit o the boys and girls coming from Scout work, butthe recent search for little 4 -year-old Kenneth Na- varre of 18900 Woodring, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Navarre, indi- cated how beneficial Scouts can be on other work. Within just a few minutes after little Kenneth had become lost, more than 30 Scouts, both 'boys and girls, had i joined the hunt. It was through their careful work that the little fellow was probably saved from death through exposure and shock. When John Sherman, assistant Scout leader, and the Tom Tata Scout group found the lad, he was thoroughly exhausted. A $10 reward was rejected by the Scouts. They thought what they had done was sufficient pay for the :hours they spent searching.I SHOE REPAIRING Expert Work Frank's Shoe Repair 11151 ,tark Rd., 1/s Blk. South of Plymouth Rd.

Dondero Member of Congress 17th Michigan District To the People of the 17th Congressional District of Michigan: This will announce my candidacy on the Republican ticket, for re- election as Representative in Con- gress for the 17th District of Michi- gan. During my service in Congress I have endeavored to express your will, reflect your wishes, serve you faith- fully and sincerely in the many Phases of Congressional work, and to nreserve the Republic of the United +ates with freedom and justice for all. To win the war and achieve a just and lasting peace is our first duty and responsibility to the nation. Sincerely yours, `Oember of Congress 17th Michigan District Interesting Facts About School Are Revealed (Continued from Page 1) of public instruction at IAansing, the Michigan Education socia - tion and forward looking edu- cators that consolidation brings better schools and greater effi- ciency in administration. They Point to -the fact that no groups of districts ,have ever changed from consolidation back to indi- vidual districts as they have a privilege of doing after five years. Residents of ,the Van Buren con- solidated schools in Wayne county tell them that they have never considered +t. Parents in Bran- don and Waterford townships in Oakland county, where consoli- dations have recently taken place are highly pleased. In fact some who originally opposed consoli- dation now admit their error and are strong for it. Contrary ,to their original no- tions, these parents 'have learned too that consolidation does not mean the discarding of present buildings and hauling small chil- dren long distances in. buses. The present buildings would all be used but to much better advan- tage. New buildings in crowded areas could be more easily built because of the larger taxing base, they find. Half day sessions could more easily be eliminated. These advantages which they want could be secured under con- solidation at a lower average tax rate for •operation than is now being paid, they have learned. In fact, through a study of the statutes, they find that a higher tax rate could not be levied un- less the electors voted to raise the mileage in an election which rea.uires a two -third -s majority of those voting. These parents, because they wish educational advantages for their children that children in neighboring communities are re- ceiving, are happy, indeed, that they are to be given the oppor- tunity .on Saturday ,April '22, to vote for those advantages through consolidating the school districts of Livonia township. v BUY WAR BONDS 0111'910t 1 BEAUTY CLINIC c?<;r.;..;.:.

You. pay more and more for the things you buy. Now look at the bottom line of the chart—the one headed steadily down- ward. That is the average price of your residential electricity since 1914. Thanks to rate reductions and increased use, your average price of electricity is LESS today than before the war. It is lower in price than even during the depression in 1932.• And it is only half the price you paid during the last war. Electricity is cheap.

Club Fights Use of Live Decoys Members of ,tne Western Wayne County Conservation club, with over 100 present, voted Wednes- day night to let congress know that they are 100 per cent against any scheme to legalize the use again of live decoys for duck hunting. The matter was brought before the club by President Brick Champe following the annual fish Ginner of the organization. Following a brief discussion in which every member who spoke condemned the proposal, a reso- lution was passed instructing Secretary Ernest Henry to advise all of the members of ©ongress from Michigan that the Western Wayne County Conservation club stands for just what its name im- plies—conservation. Federal and state regulations; in co-operation with Canada and Mexico, have resulted in restor- ing the rapidly passing wild duel: life of the country, and one of the beneficial steps was the elim- ination of the use of live decoys. Some Illinois congressman has introduced in congress .a resolu- tion which, if passed, would again permit the use of live decoys. v During the past year.

Appointment any time, At the urgent request of many residents of this legislative district, I have decided to become a candidate for the REPUBLICAN NOMINATION —for— STATE REPRESENTATIVE I feel that one well experienced in legislative matters should be elected from this district in view of the fact that there are so many changes in prospect in the legislature due to the grand jury investigation. From statements made to me by voters in the district, I know they were well satisfied with my record dur- ing the two terms I did serve. Under 'the circumstances that will prevail in the new legislature, I am sure I can be of greatbr service than ever before. Thanks for your consideration. ELTON R. EATON. —Political Advertisement.
