School Presents Operetta Here The two act operetta, "Liberty Lane," was presented by the Rose - Gale school, Thursday, May 25, in the club house. The operetta, which was cap- ably directed by the music teach- er, Mass Lulu Miles, assisted by the teachers, played to a capacity crowd. Frank Cooper as Uncle Sam, and Carolyn Sayre, as Miss Liberty, were exceptionally well cast. The songs interspersed into the story were timely, and well organized. The first act opens with Uncle Sam becoming discour- aged with the state of the world, as he studies the globe, and thinks of the war and troubles every- where. Miss Liberty, by pointing out the development of our coun- try, through its History, encour- ages -him to a more optimistic viewpoint. Taking .part in -the historical skits were Beverly Balsley as Betsy Ross, Bernie Lou Bock, as Lucy, Harvey Kelly as George Washington, Two Colonial sol- diers, played by Jim McDowall, and Rick Yantis, Abraham Lin- coln played by Judith M•cWethy, George Trinka as a soldier, Ar- thur Scott as a sailor, and Arlene Wegner as a Red Cross Nurse. In :the second act Bob Vande- vender as the very harried and distraut boy scout leader of a ,play to be given for a bond drive, is at to organize a rehearsal. 'ruce McGregor evoked some laughs from the audience as the boy who couldn't get his part well, and Dick Wylie played the part, of the boy scout Uncle Sam, whose pants had been omitted from his Uncle Sam costume, and the girl scout Miss Liberty was played by Sally Holcomb. - The choruses consisted of the boy and girl scouts, played by members of the seventh and eighth grades, the pilgrims, also played by seventh and eighth graders, the ration books played by the sixth grade girls, the grem- lins, played by the fifth and sixth grade boys, the ;gardeneis and the weeds played by the fourth and fifth grade girls.

Seek Aid From Livonians Did you ever live in Livonia township? `Were your parents born there— :)r maybe your :grandparents? Are any of your relatives buried in the old Livonia ceme- tery, corner of Farmington and Five Mile roads? If so, then you surely are in- terested in seeing to it that the Livonia cemetery is :properly For years and years this burial place, containing the remains of many, many of the pioneers who made possible the cultivated farms and communities hereabouts, was maintained by the Ladies Aid so- ciety -of the Little Union church located nearby. Then a number of years ago the Livonia Cemetery Association was organized. Riley Wolfrom is president of the association and W. M. Gar - chow is secretary. The officers are right now in need of funds to .place water mains to the cemetery and make other improvements. , The old pump that did service so many years, is no longer useable. Do you want to help to im- prove this historic burial place in Livonia township? If so, just make out a check to the Livonia Cemetery Association and mail it to W. M. Garchow, secretary, whose address is R F.D. No. 3, Plymouth, Michigan. The members of the association will be grateful—and you will be doing something to 'honor the pioneers of years gone by.

Folks say tha Lavonia Want Ads bring results. telephones are hard to get A* * long time, almost all new tele- phone apparatus that could be made has had to go to the Armed Services.... Fac- tory space and manpower cannot be di- verted to make equipment for civilians. Despite all that, since National De- fense got under way in 1940, Michigan Bell has added close to a quarter of a million telephones. That was made pos- sible only by using up all our reserve equipment and by stretching to th- -'-nit the facilities we had. We've crowded our switchboards and cables beyond their normal capacity. Where any residential service could he supplied, we've usually put in party lines instead of individual lines. And we've repaired and returned to service all usable old apparatus. Orders for telephones essential to the war are filled promptly. Other requests for new service are handled under a definite procedure, as present users give up service. But there is a long and growing waiting list. We believe you would want us to meet war service needs ahead of com- fort and convenience for civilians. And we appreciate your understanding and co-operation. MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY Wednesday, May 31, 1944 THE LIVONIAN Page Three TOWNSHIP BRIEFS Lt. John B.

It will be simpler —easier to read — a convenient size — and more practical in several ways. It will be small enough to slip into your pocket. With all its ad- vantages, it will also help the war effort. For one thing, the new bill will save paper. Envelopes are elimi- nated, and this saves 25,544 ER, pounds of- paper a year. In addition, the new post card bill will save manpower and trans- portation. rXTION This is a wartime emergency measure.
