This story has >een written several times 'be 'ore. It .has been .printed asoften is it -has been written, Ibut still here are people who do not un- lerstand that -- Whenever a person' dies, the -ation 'book must be turned in. Whenever a young man or woman enters the •armed services, .he ration book must be turned in. For instance, last week a lady Drought in a ration book to the Afice of the Plymouth board, and Said she believed it should be turned in, but wasn't sure. Any- way, she hadn't used a single coupon since her son: -entered the service. She was right. It's possible this story will have to be written again, though, for some .people still will not under- stand that ration books are for the use of •those in civilian .life. When Tires Must Be Inspected Although it is no longer nec- essary to 'have tires inspected at regular intervals, .there are times when inspections are required by the OPA. Bill Wood, ;chairman of the Ply- mouth War Price and Rationing board, pointed out this week that tire inspections are required for the issuarwe of new tire priorities. They are required for the transfer of an automobile from one owner to another, and they will be re-. quired for renewal of "A" gaso- line rations late this summer. Mr. Wood also pointed out that whenever an automobile is trans- ferred from one owner to another, and the car is equipped with one or more new tires, then a copy of the ;priority under which the Mire was purchased must also be trans- ferred to the new owner. Without this priority, it is al- most impossible for the ration board to -issue an "A gasoline certificate. Rosedale Gardens fitarts Clean -Up Of itagweed "Crop" The Rosedale Gardens' Branch ,f the National Flarm and Garden Association have declared war on rag weed. . As everybody knows, (the pol- len from rag weed is threaded' by all hay fever- sufferers. It grows in profusion in the vacant lots and unkept parkways in Plymouth township. It has a tendency to sneak into victory gardens if it isn't destroyed. So the Garden Club is making every effort to rid Plymouth of rag weed and is asking the help, of every individual in the township. -If ,you :are not familiar with this common -weed, a member of the garden club will be glad to point out a specimen; or note posters displayed in stores bearing draw- ings zof the same. ' Won't you help make Plymouth free from rag weed? *THE LIVONIAN* Entered at the Plymouth, Wchigan, Postoffice as Second Class Mail Matter.

Seven packs were represented, and an archery tournament was the main event of the afternoon, at which Richard Bojanzyk won the first prize of three arrows, John Cracht, the second prize of two arrows, and Robert Pitts the third prize of one arrow. After the pionle a short address was given by Congressman Don- dero, and boys enjoyed a com- munity sing fest. Gus 'Davis, Jr., recited Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Each pack presented an original skit, for the entertainment of the group. Two of the fathers dressed as clowns, wandered through the crowd and kept them laughing with amusing antics. Despite a little confusion as to the location which delayed the arrival of some of the members, a very enjoyable time was bead by all who attended the Cubb- eree. * A women will forgive but don'' expect her filo forget.

Included in the critical list, •according to the U S. De- partment of Agriculture, were the seeds of :alfalfa, sweet clover, red clover, ladino clover, alsike, les- pedeza, sudan grass and several other :hay ,and -pasture crops. To help meet the problems of harvestdng these seeds, Don Hor- ton, Allis-Chalmers dealer, :is in- viting all owners of All-Mp Harvesters in this farming :area to join 'the "Seed flask Force" now being organized throughout the nation to encourage a larger seed harvest. In volunteering to serve as headquarters for the "Task Force" in this area, Mr. Horton is urging harvester owners to register thedr machines for service in saving the -urgently needed seeds. Farm- ers with no means of harvesting their seed are invited to contact him, and !anattempt will be made to put them in touch with a near- by All!Crop Harvester owner. Reserve supplies of legume and grass seeds pare almost exhausted, it is stated. The only remain- ing source of seed is the growing sod in the Nation's fields. If seed for new plantings is :not har- vested from them this year, a disastrous shortage of hay and pasture is predicted by crop au- thorities. Last ye'ar's national seed harvest fell 43 percent short of production goals. Most of the needed, seeds are highly valuable, commanding ex- cellent prices. It will be mutual- ly profitable for harvester own- ers and farmers having seed to harvest to get together this ,year. A small fortune in seed has form- erly been !allowed to shatter in the field and go to .waste on the ground, the U. S. D. A. author- ities point out. Making it still more profitable to set aside one crop of hay for seed are the fed- eral price supports and bonus payments. 1. Cult hay earlier, when it's fine -stemmed and 'high in pro- tein; then to harvest a later -cut- ting for seed. 2. Feed :green corn, soybean hay, sudan :grass, or other emer- gency crop. Reserve late -cutting hay for seed, in keeping with the best local practice. 3. Remove livestock from pas- ture several weeks in advance. Give the grass a chance to set seed. 4 Locate beehives if possible. Bring them into the fields to cross-pollinate the blossoms. 5. Have ;the harvester inspected after the grain :harvest -and pro- perly equipped and :adjusted for harvesting seed. 'Commercial beekeepers are es- pecially urged to locate their hives near blossoming fields which are to Ise harvested for seed. Honeybees, not bumble- bees as commonly 'believed, have proved to be responsible for over 80 percent of cross-pollination. Reports from agricultural col- leges indicate that clover seed quadrupled by locating hives yields, .for example, have been right in the fields, using an aver- age of one or more hives per acre. While not -every farmer cann ex- pect so phenomenal a return, the -rewards for saving seed are eMttremely promlising this year, it is reported. But most seed crops shatter easily if allowed to over -ripen so all interested farmers are ask- ed to contact the Task Force headquarters immediately so that necessary harvesting arrange- ments can be made if possible. This will avoid last-minute de- lays and loss of seed. It is ex- pected that .a large number of local farmers will make definite plans to harvest some grass and legume seed this .year. * Buy War Bonds h PALACE INN Beer - Liquor - Wine ED PALISZEWSKI, Prop.

Besemer) National Farris Safety Week is ily 23 to 29, 1944. Several farm ^cidents in Wayne county em.ph- ,izes the importance of usim, ,tra care and caution when orking with machinery and °ound animals. Word has been received from -of. Huston, Head of the De- lrtment of Entomology, Michi- in State College that the first gray for second brood codling oath should be completed July C -ogling moth emergence is so nread this year that two or three [di,tionai sprays will be neces- ry. There is every indication .at codling moth activity will ntinue until picking time. Residue regu'lati'ons are still in rce. Use a softener with lead ar- nate. Thoroughness in spraying '>ll pay, aff in clean fruit. It's money m his pocket and ,od saved in the bin for the Iayne county poultryman who ills out his non -!producers this immer, says C. G. Card, head of .e poultry husbandry depart- ent of Michigan State College. Card estimates that about 10 �r' cent of Michigan's 12 million ms are not now producing. If nese birds were sold as meat, there would be effected a saving of 4,800 tons of feed: worth $300,- 000. In •addition, there would be the income from about 31/2 mil- lion •pounds cf poultry meat. Poultry sold for meat will likely bring a greater return by fall, Card believes. High feed casts and reduced supplies can be overcome only by culling the flocks so as to main tain a 50 per cent production level all summer, he asserts. Here are two tips on how to spot ,the loaf- ers: 1. The loafer is likely to be dull and mopey and stand with ruffled feathers. The laying hen is more alert, with bright eyes and seems to be busy. 23 The loafer's shanks may be thick,.rou:glh and deep yellow. The layer's shanks will be thin, smooth and of fine tex!ture. Many 4-H Club members and other farm boys are now engag- ed in extensive culling work over the state This :program, which includes training of the i>oys to become expert .cullers is sponsored by the Allied Poultry Industries, Michigan Poultry Im- provement Association, and the Michigan State College poultry husbandry and 4-H club depart- ments. Farmers -interested in de- tails of the culling program and who would like to obtain infor- mation regarding the making and use of the Spartan poultry catch - ng crate consult the Wayne coun- ty extension office. THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... Increase Loans On Wheat Crop The 7 cents a bushel increase in loan rates on 1944 crop wheat, announced several days ago by the War Food Administration, means that Wayne County farm- ers can get loans of $1.49 a bushel on acceptable wheat which they store on their farms, Fred C. Earnest, Wayne County AAA Chairman, said this week. The rate previously announced for loans made in Wayne County was $1.42 a bushel These Commodity Corporation loans are made to farmers who want to store their wheat at the time of harvest for sale later on in the .year. In addition to the $1.49 a bushel, an additional seven cents a bushel will be ad- vanced as a farm storage allow- ance. If the farmer should de- liver this wheat to the Commodi- ty Corporation in liquidation or his loan next April, he will keep the seven -cent allowance as com- pensation for the use of the farm storage. Mr. Earnest said that because of current prices, and also the general lack of commercial stor. age facilities, his office expects to receive a large number of re- quests for loans on this year's wheat crop. "Mary and I were just saying, Judge, how lucky we are here in America that we have so many natural resources to help win the war." "That's right, Jim. When war broke out we had oil, we had steel, we had food, - lumber, aluminum... practically everything we needed. There's one thing we didn't have... rubber. The enemy had that." "But that didn't bother us for long. Soon American brains and industry had synthetic rubber by the tons rolling out of plants. That filled a critical need.. . you can't win a war without rubber." "I was very much interested the other day in reading a statement made by a high gov- ernment official on synthetic rubber. In it he said`It is fair to regard the rubber manufac- tured to date as being almost solely the prod- uct of the beverage distilling industry."' "He also said that, in his estimation, the tremendous contribution of distillers' indus- trial alcohol to the synthetic rubber program had not received the recognition which it deserves."

Watch For Bacterial Blight On Beans Early destruction of bean plants �which show signs of .bacteria! blight may check the spread of those diseases and save a lot of trouble later on, according to Mrs. A. T. M. Peterson, Livonia Town- ship Victory Garden Chairman. Bacterial blight can be recog- nized by the .yellowish brown bloats which usually show up on the first seed -leaves. On the true leaves, which develop a little la- `.er, small •water -soaked spots, which eventually dry up and break away, appear. If plants are badly diseased they should be pulled Gut at once and replaced with new ones. Before .planting. examine the seeds, carefully, par- ticularly the lima beans, and dis- �ard any that show discolored spots. Anthracnose, another bean di- ,zeasefor which you should be or `he lookout, shows up as reddish hr. own spots on the seed -leaves. These sects may be followed by similarly colored lesions on the veins of the true leaves. Later. `he pods may show irregular dark red or almost black spots with light centers. Anthracnose is spread when the plants are wet so, after a rain , do not walk in the garden or work in the bean hatch until they have dried off. Nor is it advisable to walk in the garden in the early morninr when the leaves are still wet with dew. There are 262 "'Mud lakes", so - named, in Michigan. New Navy Secretary James V.

Time was, when the user of oil for cooking purposes could send in ris old forms, with a notation to the ration board that a new ra- tion would be welcome, was need- ed and therefore please hurry it along. But that is now •changed. You can't just send in the old ration, and say "please renew." Now, the user of oil for cooking purposes must -appear in person at the ration board offices, and fill out a new application for the cooking oil. There is a reason for it. There is a constant shift in the popula- tion in this area, and the ration board loses contact with users ,of oil, with the result that unless check is kept on the oil users, there will be some who will get more oil than they should have.

Michigan's conservation de- �artment is ready to start buying L00,000 acres of land in the south- �astern part of the state to pro- vide play spots for city dwellers. Real estate men who know local land values will work with the department in closing deals. First group of realtors named by local real estate boards and vouched for by the Michigan Real Estate Association is being instructed in department policies and procedures before its mem- bers begin talking with proper- ty owners. Three million dollars was vot- ed by the legislature in special session last February for the purchase of land near big popu- lation centers in southeastern counties for recreational uses. Each million dollars of state money will be matched by $200, 000 from the conservation de- partment's game protection fund which is built up by the sale of hunting licenses. The department plans to complete purchase of the 100,000 acres over a three-year period. All deals arranged by local re- altors will be subject to appro- val of conservation department land appraisers. A schedule of commission payments to realtor agents that is somewhat lower than those earned by them when working independently has been approved by all parties to the arrangement. Lands that will be bought lie within 24 projected units in a belt 50 to 60 miles from down - `own Detroit Largest projected purchases will be in the Pontiac area. The recreational area pro- gram will provide hunting lands, fishing waters, park and play- ground spaces.

The meeting was called to order by President Fred C. Weinert at 8:15 P. M. This being the first annual meeting of the Livonia Town- ship School District there were no minutes to read or; approve. The President commented on some of the problems that were involved in the reorganization of the seven districts, and the needs and conditions of the new school district.

Lubrication - Tire Repair - Accessories SERVICE WE ' NDT S GULF SERVICE 34399 Plymouth Rd., at Stark 04 i ���a Willett Notice Pace Bight THE LIVONI" Wednesday, July 26, 1944 Huckleberries, "All -Meal" Dish There's going ito be a wnaling :big crop of huckleberries this year! That's what Plymouth folks say who have been able to ge't up north and look around a bit. It is known vil there are many who plan to go north, if they can get transportation, and pick a supply for use in the com- ing winter. Along with this news comes advise from Ruth M. Griswold, as- sistant professor of food and nu- trition at the Michigan State Col- lege in which she urges the use of blueberries for breakfast, din- ner and supper. "Blueberries are no longer •con- sidered just a breakfast food to .be served with cream land sugar", states Prof. Griswold. This year, Michigan ,growers of cultivated blueberries are also expected to harvest a 600,000- quart crop. A part of those ber- ries would provide the fruit in- gredpents for two very tasty] dishes, Miss Griswold believes. She sugglests that the homemaker try blueberry muffins and blue- berry mold. Here are her re- ceipes: Blueberry Muffins - 2 cups family flour, 1/3 cup sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 'te'aspoon salt 1 egg, beaten 1 cup milk , 3 tablespoons melted fat 1 cup blueberries Sift the dry ingredients, Combine beaten eggs, milk and melted fat (slightly coaled). Add to dry ingredients. Stir until flour dis- appears but not until batteris smooth. Fold in blueberries, mix- ing as little as possible. Fill greased pians two-thirds full, handling the -batter as little as possible. Bake in a hot oven at 425 degrees F. for about 25 min- utes. This receipe makes 12 med- ium-sized muffins. Blueberry Mold - 1/2 pound (9 spices) bread 11/2 cups sugar 3 cups fresh ;blueberries 1 tablespoon lemon juice if de- sired. Remove crusts from bread and cut into small cubes. Add sugar to 'berries Cover and cook slow- ly until berries are soft. Add lemon juice if desired. Rinse a bowl or mold with cold water. Put in ;alternate layers lot berries and !bread, ending with (berries.' Pack firmly. Chill thoroughly, unmold on serving plate and gar- nish with whipped cream. This receipe makes six to eight serv- ings. Michigan's commercial blue- berry industry is located chiefly along the lake between. Muskegon and 'the Indiana line. From a quarter -acre planting made at the college's South Haven Experiment station in 1923, the industry has expanded in 1943 to 500 acres. Stanley Johnson, superintendent of the station, estimates this year's cultivated crop to be worth ab - $400,00,0. This does not include the crop to be harvested from wild bushes growing chiefly in north- ern Michigan, where there is go- ing to be a ibig crop. Expect Waters in Big Lakes To Recede With present water levels of Lakes Michigan and Huron ap- proximately three-quarters of a foot lower than the August high of last year, the conservation de- partment expects no repetition this season of the extensive beach damage caused in Muske- gon Ludington, Mears (Pentwa- ter), and Bay City state parks last summer. Water levels are due to reach their 1944 high next month but the expected level is likely to be a half foot lower than last Au- gust's peak. Lakes Michigan and Huron levels of June were ap- proximately 1.4 feet below the high,stage of June, 1929 and 2.84 feet above the low stage of June; 1934. Lower water levels this sum- mer will replace some sand strip- ped from state park beaches Iasi season. In some cases, as ai Mears state park, Ails must be made to restore parking space where high water washed close to the highway. It was necessary to move some beach equipment out of the way of encroaching wave action at Muskegon stat( park last summer. R O S E D A L EQUALITY GROCERY-SPRICEE Fred VanLandinham, Prop.

Wednesday, July 26, 194= THE LIVONL&N Page Xinr Atlantic Carves Fiords On Eirie's West Coast Fire occupies about five -sixths of Ireland, nearest of the British Isles to the United States, says the Na- tional Geographic society. Reman- der of the isla.id is included in Northern Ireland, politically a mem- ber of the United Kingdom. Popula- tion of Eire in 1941 was about 3,000,000, of Northern Ireland about 1,280,000. E i r e' s administrative authority covers twenty-six coun- ties and four boroughs. Northern Ireland comprises six counties. Eire is such a large slice of Ire- land that the natural features of Ire- land are fairly representative. In size the island about matches Maine. Greatest length is 302 miles, great- est width, 174 miles. On the north and east Ireland faces Scotland across the North Channel, fronts England across the Irish sea and St. George's channel. On the west the Atlantic pounds at its coast, wears away the land, carves out deep fiords, surges through a fringe of small islands as Irish as their names—Aran, Achill, Clare, Rathlin. Interior Ireland is a plain about 500 feet above sea level. Rounded hills rise in short ranges along the coast. Few peaks top 3,000 feet. Agricultural Country Nature made Ireland an agricul- tural country, and the Irish have clung to their birthright. A handi. cap has been the subdivision of small holdings down to tracts pro- viding bare subsistence with result- ant overworking of the land. Crop rotation and fertilizers have helped in restoration of fertility. Increase of rheadow and clover acreage, reduc- tion of cereals and field crops marked the change of policy. By rank in 1941 tonnages, oats stood first among Eire's grains, with wheat, barley, and tye next in line. Potatoes, the staple food, Peruvian long before it was Irish, topped all yields with a - total of more than 3,600,000 tons. Turnips, coarse beets for cattle feed, sugar beets and cab- bage rated in the order named. Hay was Eire's premier crop, pushed the scales beyond the 4,000,000 -ton mark. Flax, basis of the linen in- dustry, was Irish to its roots. Aerial Prophet in 1914, Admiral Peary told the Aero Club of America: "Airplanes will not only cross the Atlantic and fly around the world, but cruise to the North Pole across the polar basin within a very short time. The inner polar regions will quickly yield their last secrets. "In no way can we, as a nation., stand so effectively for forcefulness, for strength and for world influence as by Command of the Air. Twenty, four hundred years ago Themi- stocles, Athenian statesman, soldier and creator of Athenian naval policy, asserted the principle that 'He who commands the sea, com- mands all.' This principle still holds good. But today it has a rival, the command of the air, without which it is beginning to be valueless. And in tke near future it will be super. seded entirely by the axiom 'He who commands the air, commands all.' " Michigan's average trout sea- son is approximately 130 days. Peach Growers Enraged Over Price Ceiling Peach growers in this vicinity of Plymouth are highly incensed over a recent order of the OPA in Washington fixing the .prices that growers can charge for peaches this fall. In fact some have declared that they will be unable to even pay the help for picking and packing the peaches out of the price they will be permitted to charge. Growers can charge only $2.16 per bushel for peaches. But re- tailers can •charge up to 16 cents per :pound, which is equivalent to $8.00 per bushel. "The only one who can make money out of the peach (business this year is the fellow who can buy them from us at $2.16 per bushel and sell them for $8.001 per bushel," said one grower yester- day. "We pay 75 cents per hour for spraying, plus the cost of spray material. We ;pay 75 cents an hour for thinning our crop and we may have to ;pay more for picking the crop. On top !of that we pay 20 cents each for bushel baskets and we may have to pay even more than 75 cents an hour for packers who put the peaches in the bas- kets. If any one who knows any- thing at all can figure out how a peach grower can meet these ex- penses and sell peaches, for a price far •cheaper than they have been sold for at any time in the last 20 years, I would like to have them �zpeak up." It is just another one of the ways adopted by the administra- tion in Washington to punish the farmers and other people who grow things for the •country, it is asserted by some of the peach growers. The apple grower is given -a far better 'break than is the peach chard is something like 40 years.( grower. The life a, an apple or - SHE SPEEDS THE WORK OF WAR War's at her finger-tips. She puts through the calls that get things done. Sometimes when you're telephoning and the Long Distance lines are crowded, you will hear her say — "Please limit your call to 5 minutes." That of a peach orchard is only from ten to twelve years. The ceiling price on apples was much higher last year than that fixed for ;peaches for this year. Of course last year there was no peach crop, due to killing frosts and other reasons. Now that there is a peach crop, .the Washington adminis- trati.on is out .to ruin the .peach growers, is the sentiment of those who have made an .inquiry into the ,price ceiling just fixed for .peach growers. Because smallpox has appeared in three counties of Michigan this month, Dr. William DeKleine, state commissioner of health, urges all persons who have not been vaccinated in the past five years to see their family doctor or .health •officer at once. Many cases of food poisoning could be avoided if proper 'care were taken in refrigerating food's, according to the (Michigan De- partment of Health. Custards, me-ats and any foods which have cream in them should never be left outside the refrigerator. Your cooperation helps * INVEST IN vicToRr— everybody along the line.
