Oh yes; maybe if you are a farmer, you can (buy 300 feet dur- ing a three -month's ;period, pro- viding you plan to use it for such', purposes as the "planners" inl Washington may approve. If your house is damaged by flood,. ;fire, earthquake or torna- do, you may be able to get some lumber to repair it. There isn't much use in saying more. Talk .with any Plymouth lumber dealer. He'll tell you, just what he can sell and how much he :cannot sell. Its a lumber "freeze", like some of the freezes this part of the state suffers in the winter time ,when the mercury drops to 15 or 20 below zero. Day Camp Ends With Open House _N1 The P: T. A. Day Camp closed a very successful season on Fri- day, with an open -house to which the parents were invited, to see what the children had accomplish- ed during the ten-day period. The program opened with sev- eral songs, sung by the children, under the direction of (Mrs. Fred Vandevender, and (Margaret New- man. From there the parents went from room to room where they saw the art :and handicraft ex- hibits, and the dolls dressed by the girls who had taken the sew- ing classes. The children in the art class had painted- several large murals, some depicting :quiet farm scenes, and others amazingly realistic scenes of the invasion. Mrs. Webb Barth who directed this group" also taught them how to mix pigments to develop new colors and tones. ,In the handicraft exhibit were plaques which the •children had made of their hand=imprints, which were tinted after the pias- ter-paris had dried. This group had also made (beads, (berry (box canoes, lapel pins of felt, and several other- useful and orna- mental trinkets. An archery tournament, and several tennis matches completed the program, after which refresh- ments of ,punch and cookies were served. The cooking classes who had learned to make fudge, apple- sauce, and cup -cakes during the day camp, also made the cookies and ,punch for the open house. About twenty parents .attended the afternoon's activities. The many volunteer workers, among the mothers and older :girl help- ers who ,gave their time and ex- perience to entertain and teach the eighty-eight children enroll- ed in the Day 'Camp, .are to be congratulated. * luy U. :, r)era..nse bands and Stamps, the I.G.U. of the Red, White and Blue! *THE Entered at the PlymoUth, Michigan, Postoffice as Second .Glass Mail utter.

Joe, an aircraft tail gunner in the Marine Corp, was well known here and (be- fore entering the services last Decemiber he had worked for his .brother at the tavern.

Had Made More Than 55 Bombing Missions; Wins Air Medal Wesley Hoffman No additional information has ben received by Mr, and Mrs. Clarence Hoffman of Merriman road pertaining to --their son, Staff Sergeant Wesley Hoffman, recently reported missing in ac- tion over !Germany, by the war', de*artment. In a letter to his parents writ- ten several weeks before his fi= nal mission over Germany, he stated that he had taken part in 55 successful missions over the European continent and that he was hoping for a brief fVrlough. But apparently invasion plans interfered with his plans and he continued his many bombing raids. He was serving as a radio gunner on a B-26. In view of the fact that so many boys who have been report- ed missing have later been found to be interned in German prison camps, the many friends of Wes- ley hope that he will be found alive and well somewhere in Germany. Information came to The Livonian -this week from the famed B-26 Marauder Base in Italy, that Sergeant Hoffman had been awarded the Air Medal for his work in the first 'mission against Florence, Italy. Hoff- man and two companions were cited by their commanding of- ficer after "Marauders had ac- curately (blasted the city's (Flor- ence) important railway yards without damaging hospitals and numerous cultural monuments nearby." This mission had apparently taken place at least twa or three weeks before he was reported missing in action. ;During his high school days' here and in Plymouth, he was most active in various student af- fairs .and was .popular among the stude Jack Ross Hurt During Invasion Jack Ross, one of the outstand- ing athletes•and- most popular youths to ;graduate from Ply- mouth high school in years, has been injured in France. His father is Hugh -Ross, man- ager of the iSulnnybrook golf course and the family have long been residents of Livonia. Young Ross is a paratrooper, and was hurt during the invasion. He is now recuperating at a (base hospital in England, .according to word received by his father and his wife, Virginia, who lives in Pontiac. Ross was a participant in all Athletics, at Plymouth high school, and at one time or another was captain of almost all athletics teams. 'He also served as President of his class ,for I four consecutive years. Ross enlisted in the army on July 27, 1942. * Livonia P. T. A. Plans Festival An executive meeting of the Livonia Center P. T.

Mom's Club To Meet August 16 Mom's Club of Livonia Town- ship will meet at the Livonia Town Hall on Wednesday, August 16th at .10 a. m., with a (pot luck lunch at noon and sewing in the afternoon.

T. M. Petersen, Livonia Township Victory Garden Chair- man announces Canning Demon- strations, to be held on August 15th and 16th. On Tuesday, August 15th at 6:30 p. m., a demonstration will be held at the Cooper 'School, on the corner of Middlebelt and Ann Arbor Trail, with Mrs. E. J. Burt acting as chairman of the meet- ing. On Wednesday, August 16th at 1 p. m., the Rosedale Gardens Branch of the Women's National Farm and Garden Association, will act as hostesses at the Dem- onstration to be held in the base- ment of the Presbyterian Church on Hubbard Ave., Rosedale Gar- dens. Everyone is cordially invited to attend either or both Demonsta- tions regardless of where they live. The Canning Demonstration will be given by Miss Myrom Clinard, Field Representative of Ball Brothers Company. Miss Clinard has worked for Ball Brothers about eight years, spend- ing most of her time giving dem- onstrations sponsored by the Ex- tension Service, Farm Security Administration, Schools, 'Public Utility 'Companies and CCD in the Southern and Southeastern States. She will stress the im- portance of selecting, preparing packing and processing Victory Garden vegetables in the dif- ferent ways, to insure the high- est possiible quality from the standpoint of flavor and rood val- ues, as well as keeping qualities. She will explain how each jar and cap on the market should be used .and will help any Home can- ner who needs advice. She will endeavor: 1. To give home canners an op- portunity to bring canning m - formation up to date. 2. To help make it easier for -women to do their part in con- serving the Nation's food supplies. 3. To explain how last year's canning troubles niay be avoided. The only reason there is an ample supply of canned fruits and vegetables in grocery stores to- day, is that Victory Gardeners and Home Canners did a magnif- WOLFF'S Poultry Farm Fancy Milkfed BROILERS At O.P.A.

If every- thing goes well with the com- mercial (packer's progress this ,year, the civilian's share of the commercial pack will not 'be more than one-half of the amount of fruit of last year and not more than three-fourths of the vebe- tables they had,last year. Even if the war should end before 1945 canning season, our food supplies will be short (unless we grow and can) because the conquered and the liberated people must have food to tide them over, un- til they are able to produce food again. Food shortage can never be avoided -in years of war, nor, can famine enslave us as long as Home Gardeners and Home Can- ners carry the banner of deter- mined Victory.

"That's right, Judge, and I'm glad I'm still able to do it. Had a long letter from Harry... that bright young fellow I was breakin' in to take over my practice. He said the boys in the service are getting the best medical care of any armed force in our history. They really should with all those brilliant doctors and plenty of supplies to work with." "Speaking of supplies, Doc, not many people realize that a large part of the alcohol required to make the medical supplies that are being used right this minute to alleviate pain, combat infection and save human lives, is produced by the beverage distilling industry. For nearly two years this entire industry has been working night and day producing nothing but alcohol for the government's program." "Nobody knows better than I, Judge, what an important contribution to our war effort that has been."
