HomeMy WebLinkAboutLivonian1945_0207Fire Damages Spencer Home Fire, caused by a defective or overheated chimney, damaged the home of 011ie Spencer, 3939.9 Schoolcraft Road, Wednesday morning, January 31st. The family was away at work in Plymouth at the time and kind neighbors and plant police from the Kelsey - Hayes plant assisted in removing the furniture from the house. Most of the damage was to the roof and second story. Some time was lost in responding to the call as the partv making the call was not sure whether it was in Livonia or Plymouth territory. Care should be exercised when making a fire call that you give the exact address as it is very important from the standpoint that a fire could be on one side of the street which would call a certain fire department -and .if the fire happened- to be on the other side of the street another department would have to re- spond. In -the above case if the fire had been on the west side of Eckles road the Plvmouth depart- ment.would have had to respond. The minutes saved in responding to a fire are very valuable to you. Another matter that Chief Ro- berts would like to call to the at- tention of the residents of the township' is that when you make a fire call and are fortunate enough to extinguish the fire be- fore the arivai of the department, do not be ashamed to have called them and let the men wander all around trying to locate the fire as happened last week ... ,come out of the house and tell them where the fire was and that you will not need their help ... they will not be annoyed at having made the run and found out that the fire is out, however, they are annoy- ed when they make a run to a location such as "Stark and Orangelawn" and then -an arrival find no one that knows where the call came from . if you need the fire department, call them and when they get there advise them of the circumstances.

Her selection to an important position in the morale building division in the Red Cross came recently after she was invited to St. Louis, Missouri, for consulta- tion with officials of the Red Cross. She expects to leave in a few days for Washington and then will go overseas. Her mother, Mrs. Ambler, is employed at the Plymouth United Savings bank. During the past few years Miss Ambler has been directing the work of the Dieselogue staff, one of the important publications is- sued by General Motors. The following article about Miss!, Ambler is takgn from the last is- sue of the Dieselogue: "It is with mingled pride and regret that Dieselogue announces the entrance of its only charter member into the Red Cross orga- nization. Miss Ambler's choice to serve the cause of mercy will car- ry her to the far flung boundaries of Pacific war areas. She will serve in an important capacity in the morale building activities of the Red Cross at base hospitals and evacuation centers near the front lines. "Evelyn is one of Detroit Die- sel's oldest women employes from point of service. Her initial job was as secretary to the chief en- gineer. She later entered the per- sonnel division to assist in estab- lishing and directing the Diesel- ogue staff. Her efficiency, friend- liness and understanding have gained Evelyn many friends who will be happy only in the knowl- edge that her new assignment of- fers greater opportunities for her boundless generosity. "Miss Ambler will be missed by the thousands of Diesel men and women who have come to know her through her daily contacts in extolling their good deeds and expressing sympathies to them in time of bereavement. "Bon voyage, Evelyn, and, when your work in the interest of helping those in the midst of sadness and suffering throughout the world permits, may you re- turn to us at Diesel who like you so much." Army Reports Soldier Missing Pfc. Chearis March, of Indiana, who last September 16 became the husband of the former Marjorie Hirzel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hirzel of Northville road, has been reported missing in ac- tion since December 21, according to a telegram received by his wife. He has been serving in the in- fantry, first going to England, then France and Belgium. Mrs. March is now employed at the Kelsey -Hayes plant in Plymouth. At the time he was reported miss- ing, he was somewhere inside Germany. A benefactor has to be careful when with persons he has helped.

Wednesday, February 7, 1945 Founders Event Best Ever- Meld A capacity crowd enjoyed the Founders Day program presented by the Rosedale PTA at the Clu^ house on Friday. Parents and friends of the many children whc p a r t i c i p a ted, enthusiastically watched the skits and dances given by the community organiza- tions. Many of the youngsters per- formed with a grace and assur- ance equal to a professional. Fol- lowing a talk given by the presi- dent of the Civic association, Har- ry Burton, in which he gave a short resume of the work accom- plished by that organization since it was first formed, the curtains parted showing the nursery school children at work and play, appar- ently unaware of their large audi- ence. In fact their act was con - eluded with equal reluctance of both performers and audience. Mrs. Martin Laitur gave a re- sume of the work of the Women's club, by means of a cleverly writ- ten and informal letter. The Bar- ber Shop quartet, which by the way, outdoes the New Deal, in ti- tle initials, were so enthusiastic- ally received that they were forc- ed to add an encore to their two planned numbers. Girl Scouts and Brownies sang songs and gave two short skits, all of which showed much practice by the group mem- bers. Spike Jones would have been green with envy to have seen the strange and wonderfully constructed musical instruments pla-ped by the Cub Scout band. Don Carlson told of the work of the Cubs in the collection of waste paper. The Red Cross activities of the local chapter, was outlined by Mrs. Stafford Francis, and of the Church Auxiliar-, by 'Mrs. B. E. French. Carolyn Brooker, Jane Cook and Valerie Perkins proved to be graceful and accomplished solo dancers, and the kicking routine, performed by Marilynn Brooker, Ann Randall, Ruth Balkema, and Janet Walters looked like a quar- tet of potential Rockettes. The Rose Petals, Ann Conway, Penn, Bar`h, Marcia Wiegand, Helen Goodbold, and Virginia Nelson, received an ovation from their VALENTINES Gifts - Notions Birthday Cards FIVE MILE ROAD Just East of Farmington next to the Lumber Co.
