Georgia Insley, now stationed at the Romulus Air Base, kept her audience in _apt attention as * she related some of her experiences during her fifteen months service overseas. Members of the Rosedale Gardens Woman's club, before whom Lt. Insley spoke last Thursday evening, were told that the planes landing as close as possible to the front line fighting, could in two hours return the wounded to the hospitals be- hind the lines, when the same trip by ambulance would take 14 days. When a few minutes in :ime may spell life or death to the soldier, the lives saved by this air evacu- ation service are innumerable. Lt. Insley, who spent many months in both Burma in India areas, told of the boa constrictor killed only a short distance from the tent she was occupying, of the stoicism of the natives, of the Indian burial service, of the native warriors who are fighting alongside our own soldiers. She showed the group the lovely jewelry she had collected while in Burma, and re- lated the long route that the ship took on the way over lasting 62 days, while the return trip by air was only a few days broken up by stops so that they were home be - 'ore they hardly realized it was Possible. She told of the -breath- taking beauty of the Taj-Mahol. and gave such a clear interesting Picture of her personal experien- 2es and observations, that her audience was reluctant to have the neeting end. Seeing the indominable spirit, and morale of some of our nurses vho are doing so much toward victory makes us realize that women are sharing the hardsnips Md danger of warfare. school District Adjusts Salaries Announcement was made this week of the adoption of a new alary schedule for the.

Tells Work Done by Rel -Cross Here During the past year the pro duction units of the Livonia chap ter of the American Red Cross have shown an excellent record of hard work. About 75 workers have turned out the following list of .garments. Knitted goods: 23 army sweaters, 6 children sweat ers, 8 army muffins, 18 pairs of navy socks, 1 navy sleeveless sweater, 1 man's convallescent sweater, 1 n1avy turtleneck sweat- er, 3 pairs army socks, 3 nurses -sweaters, 1 child's suit, 1 pa' rifle mitts, 3 pair navy socks; sewing; 20 snow suits, 60 girls blouses, 45 boy's coats, 50' bedpan covers, 10 night gowns, mens' convalescent robes, 15 baby bunt- ings, 80.kit bags, 60 gertrudes, 55 bed shirts, 2 layettes, 77 boys' shorts, 10-0 bedside bags. The sur- gical dressing unit has turned out a steady flow of small dressings with about an average of 10 work- ers doing their best to keep the Livonia quota from falling too short. This unit is now closed at least for the month of April or until further notice according to the leader, Mrs. Warren Mason of Arden avenue, Rosedale Gardens. At the beginning of the year our production chairman, Mrs. William Fenske resigned -after three years of very hard work. The new chairman, Mrs. Stafford A. Francis, of 10004 Arden ave- nue Plymouth No. 5, is trying to continue the work under difficul- ties of time and transportation. Any one wishing work to do may ontact her by mail and the motor corps will deliver and -pick up work as soon as possible. Storm Damages School Roof Monday's storm did considera- ble damage at the Wilcox school. It ripped off. 27 pieces of glazed tile coping measuring about 3 feet long by 16 inches wide and ap- proximately 2 inches thick, and scattered them about on the school grounds as if they were paper. The damage amounts to approxi- mately $100 and is covered by in- surance. ; f The only other damage to the schools of the township is tearing off of the eavestrough from the Stark school. Sign boards along Plymouth road were badly damaged and the sign on top of Dann's Tavern was ripped completely off., There will be a May Day party at Elm School May 1st. Following the business meeting at 7:30 games will be played and refresh- ments served. Professor Talks To PTA Group Dr. Howard C. McClusky assist- ant professor at the University of Michigan, spoke before parents and friends from the Livonia Township PTA groups, at the Newburg school, Tuesday, April 17th. Dr. McClusky emphasized that the home is the focal point of the child's existence, and that the school, the church, the commu- nity should work with the home to build a background of charac- ter, health, and spirit, that will enable that child to develop into u the finest possible man or woman. Dr. McClusky said that when identical twins are separated at birth and raised in different en- vironments, the child tends to take on the intelligence, level in the home in which it is raised. He also said that while a mother cannot mark the unborn child, still her nutrition and peace of mind during the prenatal time will influence the unborn baby. Some of the other important fac- tors that Dr. McClusky brought out regarding the importance of the home in the child's growth and development were: "That too many don'ts build a stubborn re- sistance, that may react unfavor- ably throughout the individual's entire life." that "Consideration is the basic idea of Democracy, and that there is no better place than the home in which to learn it." and that "Love and demon- strative affection is necessary for the child's well being," He illus- trated this by saying that orphan- ages and hospitals -have discover- ed that septic care -of the baby, Perfect formula, and doctoring .:s not enough; that the infant will gain better and develop faster if cuddling is added. The need of 'security is in our very being, and the secret of good home relation- ship is ',Enjoy your child!' Pointing out ways that the school, the church, and the com- munity can work with the home, for the child's benefit, Dr. Mc- Clusky said, "That the smallness of the city child's home and yard make his adjustment more diffi- cult, but through music and art, through sharing the hobby, and through working and playing to- gether, this adjustment can be made. Both church and school througlf'' parent education and personal vis- its to the home, can clear up mis- understanding, and help the child's adjustment to his environ- ment. Parents can, enforce rules for the best interests of the child if they all work together. He closed with the statement "Reinforce the life of the com- munity, the church, and the school and you reinforce the life of the home." Next Tin Can Drive May 14th— Get Ready Now!

Your Garden For This Week Plants -of early cabbage head lettuce, onions, broccoli and cauli- flower can be set out this week. These plants will all stand some frost, but if a hard freeze threat- ens better be sure that they are covered with plant protectors such as hot caps or row covers. Planting three or four varieties of early cabbage that vary in the number of days necessary to ripen may extend the maturing period enough so that you will be able to use all the heads before they split. For instance Early Jersey Wakefield matures in 60 days, Golden Acre in 65, Copenhagen Market in 70 and Glory of Enk- huizen in 75. Sweet Spanish onion plants can now be purchased at most green houses. Set them out this week to get the advantage of the cool growing days when onions do best. Broccoli and cauliflower like cool weather. They do best hi the fall, but if planted out early, a good spring crop can be obtained. . Seeds of carrots, beets, hard,' parsnips and salsify can be sown as soon as soil is ready. Treat the seeds, ---with Semesan, Aresan, or Snergon to reduce the damping off or seedling rot. These materials can be, purchased in small packets. Merely place the amount that will stick on a' flat toothpick in a pack- age of small seed, shake thorough-` ly and sow the seed. Mrs. A. T.' M.

G Pape Two Ilii LATONI" Wednesday, April 25, 1945 New Trains, More Business For Pere Marquette A plan of the Pere Marquette Railway Company to put m oper- ation two streamlined passenger trains on the Detroit -Lansing - Grand Rapids run was announced by President R. J. Bowman in his letter to stockholders in the 28th annual report of the company, made public recently. The road.has now on order, said Mr. Bowman, two Diesel locomo- tives and fourteen lightweight cars which are to be commission- ed in service as two 7 -car trains, affording three round trips daily. "The modern equipment and im- proved schedules," he commented, "will more adequately meet the needs for railroad service in this area." From its record-breaking vol- umes of freight and passenger traffic in 1944 Pere Marquette realized a new high of $56,302,777 of operating revenues, an increase of $1,249,973 or 2.7 per cent over 1943. Net income before railway tax accruals amounted to $10,- 176,875, falling short of the figure for 1943 by $2,054,986, or 16.80 per cent, despite the fact that tax ac- cruals were $1,447,542 under the accruals of the preceding year. Net income of $3,012,076 was less by $607,444, or 16.78 per cent, than that of 1943. In both 1944 and 1943 net in- come before tax accruals was divided in the same way, with 70 per cent going for taxes and 30 per cent for the use of the railroad. Mr. Bowman pointed out in the'', report that throughout the rail- road industry net earnings have not kept pace with increased ser- vice. The Class 1 railroads, he said, collected gross revenues of almost nine and one-half billion dollars, an all-time peak and an increase of almost $400 million' over 1943. But net railway operat- ing income, notwithstanding, de- clined about one-quarter of a bil- lion dollars and net income (in- come after fixed charges) by al- most that amount. "This," he stated "is explained by the fact that wages and prices Storm Windows and 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 sack. The costs are exceedingly low and finance is available. Plymouth Lumber & Coal Compang 308 S. Main St., at P. M. Tracks Phone 102, Plymouth, Mich. continued to increase and tax rates were at the highest levels in his- tory, whereas freight and passen- ger rates remained substantially at pre-war levels. With these rates continuing unchanged during the past year, even the peak volume of traffic did not enable the rail- roachs to keep pace with advanc- ing costs." Among measures pursued by management to promote operating efficiency and to improve service despite the manpower shortage Mr. Bowman sited a course of vis- ual training that has -been insti- tuted on the road with the view to insuring proper observance of approved operational rules and practices. A critical manpower short- age in the summer of 1944 he said, was met through mobili- zation of 500 high school boys for service as track workers. Under supervision of high school instructors and athletic coaches, who acted as time- keepers and counsellors, the boys lived, worked, and thriv- ed under conditions conducive to health and physical devel- opment. Fifty-seven new industries were established on lines of the Pere Marquette during the year, mak- ing a total of 203 new industries since the outset of 1942. These in- dustries accounted for 87,001 cars of freight handled in the 3 -year period, representing revenues amounting to $8,680,263. President Bowman voiced con- fidence over the prospects for the post-war period. He said: "With a growing number of new industries added to those already firmly established in the territory served by your railroad, and the prospect of a continuing propor- SHOE REPAIRING Expert Work Frank's Shoe Repair 11151 Stark Rd., 1/2 Blk. South of Plymouth Rd. tional growth in future years of the railroad's so-called "overhead business," the post-war era, traf- fie-wise, is not viewed with pes- simism. In this connection it ;s interesting to recall that followmti World War I your railroad car ried more revenue ton miles of freight in 1919 than in 1918, and more in 1920 than in 1919. "It does not necessarily follow that this experience will be re- peated, but it is reasonable to as- sume that a great deal of the slack which may result from the cessa- tion of wartime manufacture will be taken up by the large-scale production of goods and materials to meet pent-up civilian demands, rehabilitation and reconstruction requirements. Because of the type of industry located in the territory served by Pere Marquette, your Directors believe that the future of your railroad in the post-war era may be viewed with justifiable confidence." Beauty, wealth, or fame is in- competent to meet the demands of the affections, and should never weigh against the better claims of intellect, goodness, and virtue.

In 1938 the 21 old-style lamps on Almont and Third were replaced by 16 pendent luminaires delivering more than three times the total lumens of the former system. Since the new lights contain precision -designed reflectors, they direct light down exactly where it is needed—some on the sidewalk, and lots of it into the road—not into the sky and onto buildings. The old lights were 10 feet high; the new ones stand 18 feet. This helps protect children and other pedestrians who step out beyond parked autos at night. The old lights, being low, cast large shadows beyond each car; the new ones, being higher and suspended outward on brackets, leave little shadow. All this makes for safe streets and better business. How is the street lighting in YOUR community? Our engineers will gladly discuss a postwar plan now.

The smelt of Lake Michigan, center of the Great Lakes fishery, were visited by a mysterious dis- aster during the winter of 1942-43, when almost the entire population was wiped out. Whether the de- struction was due to an epidemic or some other natural cause has never been determined. Smelt have been running in the Ford river near Escanaba, at the mouth of Green Bay in upper Lake Michigan, and in the Whit- ney drain south of Tawas on the Lake Huron shore. Two smelt dip- pers took 877 pound of fish from the latter stream durino one 24- hour period recently. There are other reports of smaller runs. Although it was believed that almost no spawning ocurred in 1943, reports of scattered runs in 1944 gave rise to the hope that at least a remnant of the runs had escaped destruction and might in time reestablish the species. Stu- dies made by Dr. John Van Oosten of Ann Arbor, biologist of the Fish and Wildlife Service, showed that 81 per cent of the males in sam- ple catches in Lake Michigan wa- ters last January and February were two years old, and had therefore been spawned after the onset of the disaster, while 51 per cent of the females blonged to the same age group.

At this time they leave the large lakes and run up the tributary streams, traveling at night. Before the 1943 disaster, accord- ing to conservation department records, the spawning runs con- sisted of incredible numbers of smelt, Lake Michigan catches to- taling millions of pounds. During the spring runs amateur fishermen took even larger quantities of smelt than commercial operators. The smelt is not native to the Great Lakes but was introduced from New England to provide food for salmon, which was also bein- introduced. A series of plantings was made between 1906 and 1921. The salmon failed to survive; the smelt, however, multiplied be- yond all expectation, and spread throughout the Great Lahes. * BUY WAR BONDS MILT'S QUALITY MARKifT Next to The Rexall Drug Store In Rosedale Gardens There's a friendly feeling in this store that makes shopping fun.

As fast as they fill one vacancy, another or possibly a whole flock of other needs bob up for their immediate attention. Right now the crying need of the Council is for additional leaders for intermediate girls troops and several helpers for Brownie troops that have grown too large for one leader to handle. Intermediate Girl Scouts are from ten to 14 years old and are just at that interesting age for'. women who like to work with, young people. Ladies who would like to take charge of an Intermediate Girl Scout troop or help a leader' should call Mrs. Wallace Osgood, Girl Scout commissioner at her home. Mrs. Osgood's number is 745-W.

"Judge, remember that place up in the moun- tains where we went trout fishing last year?" "I sure do, George. We had a great time up there, didn't we?" "I'll never forget it. But this wiIi interest you, Judge. I heard just yesterday that the revenue men raided a big still right near there. Guess that's where all that high- priced moonshine we heard about has been coming from." "Wouldn't be a bit surprised. I saw in the paper the other day where the Government has raided thousands of such stills during the past year." "Sounds sort of reminiscent, doesn't it, Judge ? " "Exactly and it's not hard to figure out. As soon as the distillers stopped making whiskey and devoted their entire facilities to the production of industrial alcohol for the Government ... the racketeers muscled in again." "1 hate to think of how that might have spread, Judge, if the Government hadn't found it possible, without interfering with our war effort in any way, to permit a short resumption of legal whiskey produc- tion recently."
