HomeMy WebLinkAboutLivonian1944_0614Scout Camp Is A Huge Success The. Livonia section of district seven Boy Scouts of America held the first of a series of camps on Saturday and Sunday, June 3rd and 4th. The camp -was held -in Burton's Woods, near Six Mile and Farm- ington Rds., in Livonia Township. The camp site is a beautiful se- cluded section of woods and was voted by all . an ideal place to camp. The scouts, with their leaders, gathered at 2 o'clock .Saturday afternoon and set up camp. Sat- urday night camp was open for inspection by the families -of the scouts. After the inspection, the parents stayed for the evening camp fire and entertainment pro- gram in which each troop took part. After a good nights sleep (?) the Sunday program started with reveille at 5:30 a. m. .Sunday was spent with a sunrise Church ser- vice conducted by Rev. Prince, followed by games and contests for the rest of the day. ,Six troops were represented in the camp. Co -1 from Cooper School; E-1 from Elm School; RG - 1 from Rosedale Gardens; S-1 from Stark School; LV -1 from Livonia Center and 282 from Wil- cox School. One hundred and two scouts and eleven adults stay- ed overnight in camp. The camp and contests were judged by Mr. Adams, MrJ Stokes, Mr. Anderson -and Mr. Krause. The trophy, which will be held until the next Township camp, was won by Troop 282. Second place was won by RG -1, and all the troops promise keen competi- tion for the next camp, which will probably be held in September. Presentation of -the trophy was made by Mrl Krause the Town- ship Chairman of Scouting. The excellent program planning and directing was .the work. of Scoutmaster C. J. Heffron of Stark School and Scoutmaster G. Simpson. of Livonia Center. The camp was closed at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, with the Scout- masters benediction. All in attendance are looking forward to the next time we can - get together and hoping that the two troops that were unable :to attend this time, will be with us at the next camp. P. -T. A.

Phone Plymouth 16 Vol. 5., No. 17 Wednesday, June 14, 1944 Few Rattlers Found In State Recent reports that rattlesnakes have been seen in the northern part of the lower peninsula are countered today by a reassuring statement from the conservation department. Only one poisonous snake --the massassauga rattler, smallest and least poisonous member of ,the rattlesnake family --is found in Michigan. The massassauga is found-oftenest in swampy areas in the southern part of the state, and the father north one travels in Michigan the less likely is he to encounter it. Across the Straits ;the rattler is almost if not quite unknown, and the northern peninsula can be ranked with Ireland and• Hawaii among lands where poisonous snakes are not found. While the bite of a Michigan rattler may have serious effects, it is seldom if ever fatal. Not many persons are bitten` by rat- tlers in Michigan, and there is con- siderable question whether any- one has died after being bitten, except when his condition was ag- gravated ;by wrong treatment. In case one is bitten, he is ad- vised .to remain calm, to cut a gash around the bite to permit free bleeding, and to .get to a physician without hurrying or becoming un- duly excited. Other advice: Don't drink liquor, and don't put any- thing over the :wound! The Michigan massassauga is one of 17 species of rattlesnakes that are found in the United States. Three other poisonous snakes—the water moccasin, cop- perhead, and the tiny coral snake, also ,are found in this country, but not in Michigan.

Department spokesmen, how- ever, are even more happy to re- port that recent warmer -than -nor- mal temperatures should have advanced the hatching of bass and bluegill spawn, .,with con- sequence likelihood that spawn- ing fish may be off the beds, ex- cept in northern lakes, by the opening day of the panfish sea- son. Factors which should have con- tributed to increased panfish pop- ulations in Michigan lakes, ac - carding to department authorities, were relatively high temperature levels' of the last, winter and con- sequent reduction in "winter kill" of fish which die from lack of oxygen in water when heavy ice and snow surfaces on lakes shut off the sun's rays, the present rel- atively higher lake levels, and the fact that war's restrictions have limited fishing in recent sea- sons. Rosedale Cub Scouts Build Waste Paper Collection Wagon The Rosedale Garden Cub Scouts, Pack No. RGI, have just completed construction of a .large two -wheeled cart to be used in the collection of wastepaper on a mon- thly schedule, beginning Monday, June 5th.

Each of the four dens will make use -of the cart for -one week out of every month, assigned as fol- ows: Den No. 1, week beginning with the first Monday of each month. Den No. 2,week begin- ning with the, second Monday of each month, and so on. Call the Den Mother in your neighborhood if the boys happen to miss your house during the regular assigned week. .The lumber .and metal wheels for making the cart were donated by Mr. H. O. Hanson. The follow- ing Cubs participated in building and painting the cart: Don Carl- son, Bobby Mino, Bobby Pitts, Larry Merrion, Eugene McWethy, James Whyatt, Don Geistier, Leon Hall,- Carl Holth, Dick Hanson, Clark Heseltine and John Stem.

The Repub- licans of Michigan have a right to demand such a man in this important office. Responsible Republican leadership, as well as rank and file workers throughout the State, believe that Vernon J.

"Is the Universe, in- cluding Mian, evolved by Atomic?" will be the subject of the Lesson - Sermon in all Cnristien Science Churches througout the world on Sunday, June 18. The Golden Text (Hebrews 1:10) is: "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands." Among the Bible citations is this passage (Genesis 1:26): "And God said, Let us make man in our im- age, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and all over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Correlative passages to be read from the Christian Science text - ,book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scripture," by Mary Baker Eddy, include .the following (p. 29.5): "God creates and governs the universe, including man. The universe is filled with spiritual ideas, which He evolves, and they are obedient to the Mind that makes them. ROSEDALE GARDENS PRESBY- TERIAN CHURCH, John B. For- sythe Minister.
