The Main topic of the roundtable dis- emsion this month was the dis- trict Boy Scout Camporee to be held at Riverside Park, Plymouth on Saturday and Sunday, June 16 and 17. These roundtable discussions are held the first Friday of each month for all scout leaders in Livonia Community.. These meet- ings are well attended and troop problems and community activi- ties are taken care of. Why don't you attend the next meeting? Saturday and Sunday, June 2 and 3. The last session of the Scouters Camping Course was an overnight camp in Burton's woods. Although the weather was bad with almost continual rain the camp was very successful. Seventeen scout lead- ers were in camp for 24 hours. The men learned that successful and comfortable camping can be had in any kind of weather. A complete camping program was carried out. Rev. Sheridan of Hope Chapel conducted the Sunday morning church service in camp. Earl Silver, from Scout Headquarters visited r the camp and expressed his approval of the camp and campsite. The next trainingr course will be basic scout training for adult leaders. This will start in the fall. Watch for the date.

If you have not planted those late potatoes, this is the time to do it. Cut chunky rather than wedge shaped seed pieces and to reduce seed borne diseases treat them before .planting in Semasan Bel. It's time to make that second sowing of sweet corn and green beans. Plant about 20 feet of row of beans and 40 feet of sweet corn. for each member of your family, To keep cutworms from gird- ling tomato plants place a paper collar around the stem of each plant. A 3 by 5 inch filing card will do. Roll it around the stem with the bottom of the roil ex- tending two inches. below ground and 1 inch extending above. Lima beans, soy beans and pole beans can be planted now. If planted before the soil warms up, many of the. seeds will rot. Plant about 50 feet of row of limas, and 2'5 feet of soy beans for each member of your family. The amount of pole beans to be plant- ed will depend, on hov, many green beans .you plant. If you sowed seeds of squash, melons and cucumbers in straw- berry boxes or plant bands inside they can be planted out now. Just knock the bottom out of the box and. set it down in the soil instead of disturbing the roots. These plants will ,produce earlier fruit for you. Seeds of these crops can also be sown now. —Mrs. A. T. M. Petersen, V.G. Chairman. Patience does not mean indif- ference.

Benefit Proves Very Successful The ,plastic hand benefit card Party, sponsored, by the Livonia Township Woman's club at the Livonia Township hall on Five Mile road on Wednesday, May 23 proved very successful. Twenty tables of various games of cards and bunco were played, each table received a bottle of bath salts as a table prize. A short talk by Mrs. Gertrude Thomas, of the Ida Hibbard Fund for plastic restorations, .featured the pro- gram. Mrs. Thomas. was very sorry that she was not able to bring a hand for us to see. How- ever she described the hands and stated that while capable of hold- ing a cigaret or dialing a tele- phone or holding a hand of cards they have no connection with the arm muscles and .:rust be manip- uated with the other hand. The plastic hands do, however, absorb some of the body warmth so that they feel as well as look like the sound member. Mrs. Thomas calls the hands cosmetic hands and that research is now going on in an effort to find a way of transmitting some movement from the arm muscles to the new limb. Mrs. D. W. Donnelley acted as mistress of ceremony and Jane Ann Donnelley made the draw- ings for the door prizes. The committee which prepared the party under the chairmanship of Mrs. George Hinkel consisted of Dr. Hilda Whitright, Dr. Le- nore Parsons, Mrs. Bessie Brown, Mrs. Grover C. Liggett, Mrs. Earl Burt, and Mrs. D. W. Donnelley.

Several Changes Due For Schools Several changes and added ser- vices will be made in the Livonia Township schools next fall when school opens, according to an an- nouncement recently made by the Board of Education. A full time visiting teacher will be added to -the staff, 50 per cent of whose salary and expenses will be .borne by the .State of Michi- gan. Mrs, Ruth MacBride, for- merly principal of the Elm Ele- mentary school, has been engaged by the Board -of Education for this position. After obtaining her early college training at Bridge- port, Conn., Teachers' College and Columbia University, she re- ceived her Bachelor's degree from Wayne University. This summer she will be awarded the Master's degree from there. Her major field of specialization has been in special education. This includes speech correction, adult education, psychology and problem children. Besides serv- ing as principal at the Elm school for three years, Mrs. MacBride has had about 15 .years additional experience in the field of her spe- cialization. Her duties will in- clude the following: handling all maladjusted children, assist other teachers to recognize symptoms which are significant as indicating possible or probable future delin- quency, plan anti arrange home calls wherever and whenever needed, plan, organize and direct certain types of treatment for maladjusted children. Plans are under consideration to offer .Instrumental Music in- struction to the junior high school pupils at Livonia and Newburg schools next year. If . these plans materialize Mr. Reginald Moore will teach these classes in addi- tion to the General Science class- es. Mr. Moore received his Bache- lor's degree from Kar_sas State College where he maiored in Public School Music and minored in science. Since completing the work on his Bachelor's degree he has gone on with graduate work at the University of Kansas and is well along toward the Master's degree. Mr. Moore has had ten ,years experience in the public schools of Iowa and Kansas, teaching music and science in grades and high school. His work in music has included band, orchestra, chorus, glee club -and a cappella choir. He personally plays piano, cornet and clarinet. Mr. Moore is married and has two children. He and his family reside in Plymouth. Miss Betty J. Brake will be the kindergarten teacher at the Stark school next year. She succeeds Mrs. Jane Bowser who has re- signed.

B. Hill, Farm Manage- ment Department, Michigan State College.) If you do not have the current know-how of the fa m business, this is a poor time to buy a farm. Michigan State College at East Lansing receives many letters of which the following from John . of Dearborn is typical— "Will you be kind enough to let me know how to go about to receive a book called, I believe, Harm Management Plan. You see we are buying a farm and have never been farmers before so don't understand all about it but we are very anxious to learn and was told that I could receive such a book and also one in which to keep records in. Thanking you, I remain .. " Why people without farm ex- perience and who know nothing about farming want to invest their hard earned savings in a farm is difficult to understand, unless they pay cash for the farm and are dependent or, the farm for a living. In this day and age but few persons without farm ex- perience could hope to succeed .n farming. If John . and his wife wish to farm, why not firsl get a job on a farm with a goad experienced farmer for a year or so. Benefit by his experience Lean something about the coun- try. Learn what it means to make a living on a farm. Learn wnat it takes to make a farm go. Ti n John will know more what a farm is worth. It is also recom• mended that before purchasing a SHOE REPAIRING Expert Work Frank's Shoe Repair 11151 Stark Rd., 1/z Blk. South of Plymouth Rd. farm land or other -wise getting started in farming, one shoula consult with persons who were making a success of the kind of farming you anticipate doing. In this manner you can benefit by the mistakes and experiences of oL;hers: Of course the Michigan State College Extension Service sent John the booklet he asked for "Analyzing and Planning the Farm Business." This booklet will help but will not substitute for farm experience In our reply to John we also told him the College had a 56 page farm account book which is especially designed for keeping records on Michigan farms. The cost of this account book is 30 cents. The Michigan State College also sent John Special Bulletin 324 "Dollars and Sense in Far mg." This bulletin is valuable to any- one who wishes to study the buffs- ness of farming. John probably' would have been better off to have done a bit more figuring be- fore he bought the farm. Yet he might make a go of it. BUY WAR BONDS L. BLADE JEWELER Opposite Post Office Northville, Mich. The Best Place to Buy PALACE INN Beer - Liquor - Wine ED. PALISZEWSKI, Prop.

What to Send to Men in The Navy Officials of the Postal Affairs Section of the Navy department recently issued a statement of interest to Plymouth residents with relatives in the Navy re- garding the importance of proper selection of gifts for overseas mailing to navy personnel. In answer to the question which fre- quently arises—"What Shall I Send?"—the Navy Mail Service stated that extensive surveys have shown that Nave personnel over- seas above all want letters—let- ters giving local news and telling of things done and things planned. Secondly, they want objects with a` personal, sentimental appeai such as photgaraphs, snapshots, drawings made by their young- sters, and newspaper clippings' that can be enclosed in these let- ters. An extensive survev has been taken of what sailors, Marines,', and Coast Guardsmen serving in forward areas want in their gift packages. Reports have also come in on the type of gifts WAVES, tSPARS, and MARINES serving overseas prefer to receive from home. Such surveys have shown that they positively know what they don't want. Foremost among the Dont's are cakes, soft candies, cookies, cigarettes, and fancy toi- let kits. Foods such as candies and cakes that may have been their favorites when they were they want.
