Cub Pack Holds Interesting Meet A Cub Pack meeting of Liv- onia Cubs was held at the Liv- onia Center School on Farming- ton Road Friday evening June 30th. The Theme for the month of June was Our Flag. Mrs. Cook's den No. 1 opened the meeting with the pledge to the flag and closed the meeting with a flag song. Den No. 1 un- der the direction of Mrs. R. Snodgrass presented !the dis- playing of the Flag on Certain Days of the Year. This was a a very interesting and well planned skit that the boys car- ried out. Den No. 2 under the direction of 'Mrs. Geo, Hanes gave a skit on the respects to the flag :and how the flag should, be flown. Den No. 3 under the direction of Mrs. Wm. Cook gave a talk on the Navy Flag with the Snake , Don't Tread on Me. Den No. 4 under the direction of Mrs. E. J. Burt gave a skit on the making of the flag. "Betsy Ross making the flag".

There was also a display of handicraft made by the dens during the month. The picnic was discussed an it was decided that there would be a cub picnic ori August 6t ,at Walled Lake. As many a possible of the cubs should be accompanied by their parents There will be more about the picnic in a later edition of this paper.- Praise For 4th Celebration The eleventh annual Fourth celebration, sponsored by the Rosedale 'Gardens Civic _Assoc- iation, afforded' residents and ,g their uests the opportunity of enjoying a very safe. land worth- while day's' activities. Beginning at ten -thirty in the morning the men's softball game offered a spirited rivalry .between the East and. the West siders; the 'West winning iwith :a score of nine to two. The children's costume .parade began at eleven, land youngsters ten years old or younger march- ed from St. Michael's church to the club house, with costumes oaring from the quaintly amus- ing to brightly patriotic attire. Prizes were offered for the most patriotic, the most original, and the most comical costumes. Beginning at two, •a succession of, contests offered, competition for everyone from ibaby carriage to wheel chair ages; the penny scramble for toddlers, .leap frog, skipping, shoe races, cracker races, military obstacle, skip rope and sack races, elephant walk, boy's three legged race, girls egg and spoon -contest, ladies' nail. driving contest, men's three.leig- ged race, four bicycle races, lad- ies' slipper kick, and the men's horseshoe throwing contest. Prizes were given out so fast for the- wipers of the var- ,ous contests that all attempts to keep track of the many lucky recipients was abandoned. At six dolock a potluck picnic supper was enjoyed :and gave the igroup a :chance to visit with friends -and neighbors. Follow- ing the ;picnic the !Diamond "D" Dude ranch. presented' a Rodeo parade ,and several horse acts. Unfortunately their star per- former, a very :fine :and intelligent horse had suffered an accident in the •pasture the week before, and was unable to appear, but the stage tradition .of "The show must go on", was followed and the re- maining performers gave -a very good show. The Cowans were unable to ap- pear, but a clever and -agile tum- bler, -adequately substituted for their act. Roy Hall, magician, had many a child—and parent— wide eyed and mystified as to how the hand can be so much quicker than the eye. Paul Young's Saddle Ridge Buckero:os entertained' the crowd with many a .popular, as well. as sage bush melody,' and the aud- ience was reluctant to let them d go, even when approaching dark- ness necessitated a close, of the days activities. s The soft drink concession main- tained by the three girl scoul troops, one from St. Michael's; and two from Rosedale Gardens' schools, was -appreciated by many a thirsty patron,. and the seventy- five dollars the girls earned will give the troop a nice little nest egg, for .their fall projects. Rosedale Gardens was very fortunate to have such a well planned :and enjoy4ble Fourth of July, and the committee, who have given, so much time, thought and energy in arran:ging the days' program deserves a vote of •thanks from the entire cl munity. 1000 Cherry Tickers Needed The Grand Traverse County Agricultural Agent needs 3,000 cherry pickers from . Wayne County at once according to James Rossman, emergency farm labor assistant in this area. Pickers will be given gas .to carry a party of four in _a five passenger car or for a party of two in a coupe. The plans call for pickers to carry their own housing equip- ment and each ipicker' must turn in a certification showing that he has completed at Ieast 80 hours of picking. A rate of 50 cents per lug stripped will also be paid all workers. If gas is necessary for transportation in -the iGrand Trav- erse .area to and from work O'PA officials will also grant coupons for their needs in the county where they work. A few from Livonia have already gone north and it is ex- pected that there will be mane more before the next week is over. For complete information about going north, people interested are sked to contact the Wayne Coun- ty Agricultural Agents office at 3.914 Monroe avenue, Wayne. Oak Leaf Cluster Awarded To Henry A.

Inmates Donate Blood For Army Out at the Detroit House of ;orrection Wednesday 'afternoon nore than, 200 of the prisoners, rnxious to do something to help vin the war, donated gallons of :heir .blood to the Red Cross for zse on the ;battle fronts of the vorld. "When we asked for volunteers, s was an inspiring' sight to note ;he willingness of these men and women to make some sort :of a ;acrifice for our boys at the front" ;tated Warden A. Blake Gilles yesterday. "There were e over 150 women prisoners and more than '50 of the men inmates who gladly went to the 'hospital= to donate blood. I am certainly proud of what they did", he added. Not only :have mrore than 200 in- mates donated blood for wounded fighting soldier lads, but they have purchased nearly. $15;000 in war bonds. They have not quite equalled the record they made in the Third war loan, but maybe before Saturday night atmidnight the record purchase of $16,000 in the 3rd war Doan drive will have been exceeded. And when one knows that war bond purchases by inmates rep- resent the sacrifice of any :of the little extras 'their nickles and dunes might buy for them, the patriotism, of these unfortunates stands out in bold relief to some of the loudly proclaimed patriot- ism of those drawing fabalous pay checks and who ,are enjoying life as usual. 7�C Tin Pickup On Saturday, July 15 There will be a tin, can pick-up in Livonia Township Saturday, July 15th. Have your cans out ;on a paved road in the township on Friday eventing. The cans will be picked up on Saturday. Wash, flatten and remove lalbels from cans and ;put them 'in a card- board box ,or heavy bag so that they -can be handled easily by the men on the trucks._ In the past there have .been complaints that cans have not been, .picked - up. If you put your cans out rafter the trucks have started _ the run and your .box remains out it is because you did not get the cans out early enough and that is 'why we are stating—have your cans at the curb on Friday night_ Also do not put :them in a place that has tall grass hiding them. 'Put the box in plain sight. Don't be ashamed of your cans, be proud you have them 'to give to the tin can pick-up. Mr. Arleigh Harmon of Robin- son Ave., Farmington, grandson of Mr, and- Mrs. Luther Whiteley, Clarita 'Road left June 2'6th for Fort 'Sheridan. ' rim+® TWO THE LIVONIAN Wednesday, July 12, 1944 Sheep Supplement Soybean oil meal is equal to lin- seed meal or cottonseed meal in value per ton as a protein supple- ment for sheep. In some experi- ments soybean oil meal produced more rapid gains than cottonseed meal for fattening lambs. The feed cost per pound of gain was less and the soybean oil meal was slightly superior to cottonseed meal in pro- ducing a desirable finish. The pro- portion of soybean oil meal to use in rations for fattening lambs is about one- pound for every seven pounds of corn. Costly Mace The costly mace is the shadow of another spice. Between the two hard shells of a nutmeg kernel is a lace- like fragile membrane—the guazy filament or mace that must be sep- arated from the shell by hands with the skill of a surgeon. Several hun- dred pounds of nutmeg often pro- duce but a single pound of this un- substantial, delicate spice. The nut- meg tree is a native of the Moluccas but it has emigrated to the West In- dies and now to Brazil. Western Aspect Odessa, Russia, was built by or- der of Catherine the Great, about the time Washington, D. C., was founded. Like Washington, it was constructed largely on reclaimed swampland and wilderness after plans made by a Frenchman. The first leaders of the new municipality were either western Europeans or were English -educated and gave to Odessa an occidental aspect un- known to other Russian cities. Middle America Middle America has an area one- third that of the United States with a population over 37 million—one of our best customers, for even before Pearl Harbor 75 per cent of all im- ports into the ten countries of Middle America came from the in- dustrial United States while we im- ported 82 per cent of these coup tries' tropical products. Beauty Costs No More When painting to protect property, it costs no more to select a modern, attractive color scheme than it does to use an unattractive color, but the result is worth a lot more to the property owner. Well-chosen, cheer- ful colors also contribute to the morale of the occupants of a build. ing, and have an uplifting effect upon the entire adjacent commu. nity. Prime Favorite Muskrat, or "marsh rabbit" as it is sometimes called, was a prime favorite, especially in winter, with the aborigines of North America. Countless numbers of voyageurs, trappers, and hunters have roasted it over the coals of the camp fire. Traders and Indians dried t h e meat for winter food. Commercial Turtles Snapping turtles, soft-shelled tur- tles and so-called "sliders" are the most important commercial species of fresh water turtles. In the larger markets the greatest volume of tur- tle sales probably consists of snap- pers. Soft-shelled turtles are eaten extensively in the South, and to some extent elsewhere. Wichitans Wade in Flood Waters Wading barefoot was the order of the day as thousands of residents of Wichita, Kansas, were stranded downtown by flood waters of the Little Arkansas river. These venturesome individuals are trying to get home by fording a more shallow avenue -of escape. THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... Texas was the state in which the greatest number of coyotes, 13,226, was taken in 1943. In Colorado, 11,- 112 were destroyed; in Oregon, 10,- 578; and in Wyoming, 10,546. Of the methods used for taking these preda- tors, trapping accounted for 78,444 of the total. Indian Troops More than 8,000 Indians saw serv- ice in the first World war, most of them as volunteers. Majority were not citizens, were not subject to the draft. In 1924 the congress extended citizenship to all Indians born in the United States. Distinction for Indiana City Richmond, Ind., has one of the largest nurseries in the country. It has originated about 71 per cent of all the new improved forcing roses produced in the world during the last four years. Rats Destructive In normal times, rats living on farms occasion an annual loss of at. least $1. In towns and cities, the value of materials. destroyed by rats is probably more than $2 for each rat. Irish Imports From the world Ireland buys corn`, and eorn meal, wheat and wheat flour, coal, tea, iron and steel man. ufactures, machinery, boots and; shoes, sugar, oil and gasoline. "Judge, I've had a lot of calls for that book you took out last week ..: Tell the Boys Back Home'. How did you like it?" "Fine, Sarah, fine ... it's just the kind of book I like to get hold of...I enjoyed every word of it. Wish I could have been along with the author myself ... actually living with the men right on the, fighting fronts. He got mighty close to them and they certainly opened up their minds and their hearts to him." "There were lots of new things in the book I hadn't seen in any other reports from front- line writers. But there was one question the men asked the author that I have seen time and time again in these stories. That was `Are you going to put prohibition over on us sol- diers again... and without getting our vote?"' "I noticed that, too, Judge, and I think the least we can do for those fighting men who are doing so much for us is to respect their wishes on that subject."

Oyster as Calcium Collector There are only about six-hun. dredths of an ounce of calcium in a gallon of sea water, but the oyster builds up its. heavy shell of calcium and corals form whole islands by collecting this element. Indian Imprint on Farm Output It is estimated that four -sevenths of the agricultural production of the United States, measured in farm value, comes from plants originally domesticated by the Indians. Grafting Apple Trees The best time to graft apple trees is as the sap begins to rise in the spring, when the bark slips easily from the wood and growth starts shortly. Sea Transport There has never been any road or railway connecting Burma with India. The country is so difficult that sea -transport is c h e a p e r and quicker. - Tobacco a Medicine Tobacco was once used by native Indians in Middle America as a medicine and also as incense in their, religious ceremonies.

Soil Erosion Soil erosion has already ruined about 50 million acres of once pro- ductive crop land in the United States.

In fact, there is scarcely a vehicle used by our armed forces that doesn't require some form of telephone equipment. War- ships, merchant ships, submarines, tanks, planes, landing barges, reconnaissance cars — just to mention a few — place a stagger- ing load on telephone manufacturing fa- cilities. As a result, many requests for telephone service cannot be met without long delays. There is a large and growing waiting list. Orders are filled promptly for telephones essential to the war or necessary to public health, welfare or security. Other orders can be filled only as present users give up, service. A uniform and fair procedure,* ap- proved by the Michigan Public Service Commission, applies to the handling of all orders. No one will be more pleased than we when conditions again permit us to meet every request for service, whenever and wherever wanted. *Upon request, we shelf be glad to taaif you s touter -, N answers questions about wartime telephone restrictions and tells how the procedure applies in dWereat cases.

HOME OF THE FINEST DRAFT BEER IN LIVONIA A Good Place To Meet Your Friends Under the Management of "Eddie & Eva" (Formerly of Dana's Tavern) Don't keep a "snow -man" in your refrigerator - IT COSTS YOU MONEY! Warm weather means an added burden on your refrig- erator. The hotter the weather, the harder it works to keep things cool. If you notice a "snow -man" form- ing inside—heavy frost on the cooling coils—it's time to get busy and defrost the refrigerator. That layer of frost is costing you money: It means that the refriger. ator must work overtime to absorb heat through a blanket of frost around the cooling coils. And for economical operation, the motor should run as little as possible. It's only human to keep "putting -off" the chore of defrosting—especially in summer, when ice cubes are in big demand and you hesitate to have your refriger- ator out of commission even fora few hours. But see that it is done regularly. Do not use an ice pick or a sharp instrument to remove ice; this sometimes punc- tures the refrigerating coils. After defrosting, wash the whole interior (coils, shelves, trays, etc.) with luke- warm water and mild soap. Unless the motor of your refrigerator is hermetically sealed, have it oiled and inspected periodically. Remember that your refriger- ator must last for the `duration. Treat it accordingly!

Robinson Use Chicken's Age As Cooking Guide Old hens .and spring chickens will crowd markets near places where they are raised during the next six months. The supply of chickens for sale will be heaviest in July, August and September. Shortage of feed will cause many farmers to cull their flocks sharply to get rid of loafer hens and even some layers. Limited facilities will make difficulties in shipping many of these :birds far, so local markets will get most of them. Scarcity of storage space for the heavy supply of chickens will mean that chickens must be canned or frozen for next winter's use—or eaten now to pre- vent waste. For the homemaker who; has a savory chicken supper in hind, home economists at Michigan State College suggest these rules for cooking poultry: I. Know a young chicken from an old, and cook according to the right method for :the age of the -bird. Marks of youth in chickens are: flexible cartilage on rear end of breastbone, tender skin, soft meat, few hairs, and soft smooth feet. Broil, fry, -or apen-pan roast young, tender, well -fatted birds. Braise in a covered cass- erole or covered roaster lean young birds or hens past their I prime for roasting. Cook very old birds long -and slowly in wa- ter or steam. Then strip meat from the bone and use as a base chicken salad, chicken a la king, for dishes cold or hot, such as chicken loaf, croquettes or souffle. 2. Cook birds of any age at m-oderate heat so the meat will be juicy, tender and evenly done to the bone with little shrinkage. This way of cooking is economical of fowl and fuel. 3. When :poultry, either raw or cooked, must be stored a day or two, keep it cold. After it is cook- ed, if it is not to :be eaten immed- iately, chill it quickly. Resume Boat Service To Isle Royale For The Summer The Gelorgian Bay Line steam- ship South America is operating weekly trips to Isle Royale nation - ail park in Lake'Superior, stopping at Houghton -Hancock and at Rock Harbor, Isle Royale, each Tuesday. Stop overs at both points can be arranged. Frequent trips :to Isle Royale are also made on schedule and on charter by the Kauppi Boat Service of Copper Harbor. In many ways Isle Royale is the queerest national park. A huge Blob of lava cast up by some long - extinct volcano, the .island is cov- ered with virgin timber in which roams America's largest moose -herd. Native copper indications are everywhere and prehistoric workings along the shores are a puzzle to archeologists. Trees hun- dreds of years old are growing in some of the ancient pits. Many semi-precious stones are picked up on the Island's wild beaches. There is no hay fever on Isle Royale, and the lake trout trolling is about the best on the Great Lakes chain. It is not well to see everything, to hear everything; let many causes of offense pass by us un- noticed Seneca.

Grow Broccoli For Vitamins Many gardeners, this year are growing broccoli for the first time, planting it at the same time they planted their early cabbage. Oth- ers waited until July 1, ,planting at that date for a fall .crop. Still others planted their broccoli in Mid -June, since planting at this time, according -to Mrs. A. T. M. Petersen, Livonia Township Vic- tory Garden Chairman, helps to avoid cabbage maggot. If broccoli 'is sown directly in the garden, Mrs. 'Petersen recom- mends that all but the strongest plants be cutout as soon ;as their true leaves appear, leaving one plant to every 18 inches. It is better to cut rather than to pull them, she says, since pulling may injure the roots of the plants ':hat are saved. Italian Green Sprouting broc- coli, the variety most gardeners ,plant, grows to a height of about three feet !by late August. Six to ten inches of the thickened stem as well as the head ;can be ^aten, .but A this much of the stem .s used it should be split by three or ,four lengthwise slits so that it will cook more quickly and be ready to eat when thegreen part of the flower is ready. Since broccoli will develop side shoots after the center stem has been cut, the plant will produce for ten to twelve weeks This ,year a few gardeners experiment- ed with the new dwarf broccoli. It produced; very early .and, while not generally .as good as, the Ital- ian Green Sprouting, it proved quite satisfactory. A deserved ;and discriminat- ing compliment is often one of the strongest encouragements and in- centives to the diffident and self- distrustful.—Tryon Edwards. Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scripture might have hope.—Romans 1,5:4. Humility is the stepping -stone to a higher recognition of Diety. The mounting sense gathers fresh forms and strange fire from the ashesof dissolving self, and drops the world.—Mary Baker Eddy.

New Dust for Sweet Corn Smut A new dust method for the control of sweet ,corn smut is re- commended by Dr. Bailey Pepper and Dr. �C. M. Haenseler .of the New Burnswick, New Jersey, ex- perimental station who for several years have conducted extensive experiments on this risease. Their plan according to .Mrs. A T. M. Petersen, is to dust with Rotenone plus 25 per cent dusting sulphur at five day intervals, starting when the corn is 10 to 14 inches high, or before the tassels are visible, and continuing until shortly after the first silks appear. Usually, in that length of time, fcur or five applications will be made. This same dust, Mrs. Peter- sen says, also helps materially to control the European cornborer.
