Do you know that the spotless white electric range in your kitchen is a "coal burner"? It's true ... it burns coal in a Detroit Edison power house miles away, In these days of critical fuel shortages, the Government asks everyone to save elec- tricity to save coal. You can conserve coal by proper use of your electric range. Make thrifty use of the deep - well cooker, plan more "all -in -one" oven meals, turn the switch to LOW heat after foods have come to a boil. QUARTER OF A MILLION SIGNS. It's hard enough in the city to find a particular address where the houses are not numbered. But it's doubly bad in the country, where sometimes even the roads are nameless! Detroit Edison has been working since 1931 to help county and municipal authorities label roads and houses. To date we have numbered 205,000 houses and placed 46,000 road signs. Of course, this work helps us directly in locating customers, so our efforts do not go unrewarded. - Aw _'behat f d o.,rt Gia.

Nankin Mills Inn Is Destroyed By Spectacular Fire The Nankin Mills Inn, popular night spot at 33750 Ann Arbor frail, between Stark and Farm- ington roads, was completely de- stroyed by a spectacular fire early, :ast .Saturday afternoon. According to Chief Cal Roberts] of the Livonia Fire Department, which fought the blaze with the aid of the Wayne Fire Depart- ment, cold weather and lack of an adequate water supply hampered the battle to control the fire. Hundreds of spectators, attract- ed by the fire which could be seen from quite. a distance, watched the firemen fight the losing battle. The fire fighters were delayed about 10 minutes in getting water while they chopped holes in the ice on Nankin Mills Lake and strung hoses the 9,00' feet, Chief Roberts said. He also added that the fire was burning pretty fierce- ly before the firemen got there. The only casualty was the hair on the head of Walter Moraswaski, the owner of the tavern. Cause of the fire apparently was an overheated furnace, Chief Ro- berts said. 0% Camilot BEAUTT CLINIC Phone Livonia 4394 MARY CAMILOT ANN STEPHAN Work 7119Ws Different and Distinctive • 9035 Middlebelt between Chicago do Joy StormWindows cmd Insulation Will Cut Your Heating Costs to a Minimum We will gladly give you an estimate on the costs of in- sulating or on the costs of installing storm . sach.

Extension of the season was sought because heavy snowfall during early 'December, especial- ly in southwestern Michigan, had made trapping unprofitable. Conservation department in- quiries addressed to trappers found 119 opposed to extension of the season, 33 in favor. Some who favored extension of the muskrat trapping season also asked extension into January of the open season for hunting mink, giving as the reason their belief that mink are responsible for the claimed muskrat scarcity in their localities. The conservation commission' has authority to extend the musk- rat trapping season; the hunting season for mink can be extended only by action of the state legis- lature. As for trapping, the de- partment points out that seasons must coincide, because it is practi- cally impossible to trap one spe- cies without catching the other. Complaints that mink are re- ducing the muskrat population are not new, have been heard since pioneer days. Department game men point out that mink and muskrat have always lived together in Michigan marshes, streams, and lakes, and mink have never yet wiped out musk- rats anywhere. In fact, figures show that in general mink and muskrat populations rise and fall together, with the mink usualy lagging a little behind. Muskrat scarcity, according to authorities, is invariably due to such factors as low water levels, destruction or reduction of food supply, local over -trapping, etc. When the habitat and weather are as they should be, muskrats are abundant- when these factors are not as they should be, musk- rats become scarce. A total of $293,000,000 in pri- vate funds were invested in the aircraft industry in the four years j ended June, 1944. Of this amount j $143,000,000 went into buildings, and $150,000,000 was spent fori equipment. Since Pearl Harbor the U. S. Army Air Force has trained 163,- 147 pilots (including 5122 glider pilots), 31,293 bombardiers and, 31,906 navigators or bombardier- navi^ators. American Army Air Force pi- lots have engaged in more than 1,350,000 sorties against the ene- my since December 7, 1941, of which 71 per cent were flown in the first nine months of 1944.

The order provides that any man, no matter what his handicaps might be, if under 38 years, of age and not working at some busi- ness which is of aid to the war effort, must seek immediate employ- ment in some industry helping the war. If any one in this group quits his present job, he must report to the United States employment office and to his local draft board immediately. Many who have been employed in industrial and business places not regarded as essential to the war, have already "gone into some of the local war plants or made application for positions. Meanwhile at the Kelsey -Hayes machine gun plant in Plymouth experienced women war workers are being laid off and they report that they are unable to secure positions elsewhere.
