HomeMy WebLinkAboutLivonian1945_0620Livonia Scouts Given 'Thanks According to latest reports the Detroit area council, Boy Scouts ,of America ledd the nation in waste paper collections during the General Eisenhower -Boy Scout campaign. of March -April, this year. Quite unaware that any na- tional record was being broken and only attempting to do just an outstanding job, as is usually the case, Livonia scout officials were much surprised to receive letters of congratulations from national scout officials and the local sal- vage chairman. Said Howard R. Patton, division of program of the national scout council "The Detroit area cot4n- cil has reached the highest total of any council in the General Eisenhower Waste Paper cam- paign. 7,048,739 pounds of paper is a real contribution to the war ef- fort, and everyone involved should be congratulated." E. A. Schirmer, chairman of Wayne county salvage committee, said, "A performance exceeding 7 million pounds is excellent in- deed and I predict that it will establish a national record. In behalf of the Wayne county salv- age committee, I want to extend our sincere thanks to Livonia for this excellent cooperation and express to you and your associates the hope that your fine group will continue to encourage your Boy Scouts to actively work on forth- coming waste paper campaigns." The actual total is well beyond the 7,048,739 pounds referred to in Mr. Patton's congratulatory message. This ' amount was only the first report made and includes certified applications from 354 troops and packs which request- ed Eisenhower medals for 5521 boys. A later and final report puts the figure close up to the 8,000,000 pound mark. Although the campa?gn is end- ed, waste paper is still a national need and all troops -and packs are urged to continue their collec- tions. Many cubs and scouts will undoubtedly take part in the recreation department sponsored baseball jamborees during July and August which gives them the opportunity of securing free tic- kets to Tiger games at Briggs stadium.

Although the local group didn't walk off with first honors which they usually do they presented a very fine exhibition of singing for the people in attendance. Auto Tax Stamps On Sale at P. 0. The five -dollar auto use tax= stamps, which all car owners must have by July 1, went on sale last Friday in the postoffice, Postmaster Harry Irwin announc- ed. Irwin urged that motorists come early to get their stamps and avoid a last minute rush which would tax a war -depleted post - office staff as well as the buyers' patience. He also announced an increase in the rent on lock boxes, effec- tive with the start of the new fiscal year, July 1. The quar+erly rent on 75 -cent boxes will be raised to. a dollar, the dollar ones go to $1:50 and the $1:50 boxes will be two dollars. The raise in prices is. due, he said, to the increased receipts of the local postoffice in 1944, which placed. Plymouth -in a higher clas- sification. The new prices actually go into effect June 20, which is the due date for rentals -of the boxes for July, August and September. During the 57 months of the war up to June 1, 1944, Nazi bombers damaged or destroyed 3,375;000 houses in Britain, an av- erage of nearly 2,000 a day. But in the next four months, their V-1 robots destroyed or damaged 1,125,000 more houses, an average of 9,000 a day. Poor Prospects For Sweet Corn How would you like some swell sweet corn, right fresh out of one of the fields around Plymouth? Wouldn't it taste swell? Prepare for a disappointment. If you get any sweetcorn at all this year that is grown in Michi- gan, it is going to be late sweet corn—very late. And there is no sweet corn grown in the country that has the delicious flavor of sweet corn grown in and around Plymouth. Local growers say that only a very few fields of sweet torn have been planted. It will -be a few days before they know whether the seeds have rotted in the ground. At any rate, the prospects are that you will not get much local sweet corn this year. An estimated billion dollar re- placement demand for liquid - cooled internal combustion en- gines and parts faces the steel in- dustry. Cutbacks in war essential civilian requirements for the sec- ond quarter, starting April 1, have been so severe they can only be tolerated on a one-quarter basis, WPB said of steel. Faced with the double -headed task of supplying steel for both prime war needs and war supporting civilian ser- vices, there appears to be no day- light in the steel picture until at least the fourth quarter. Your Garden This Week To reduce corn :borer infestation in sweet corn, spray or dust with rotonone five times at five-day intervals, starting early. Be sure to get the dust or spray material down into the axils of the leaves. Keep spraying potatoes every week or 10 days with potato spray or bordeaux mixture, Add one ounce of calcium arsenate to two gallons of bordeaux to control Potato beetles. If there are any aphids on your peas, spray or dust with ro- tonone or nicotine to clean them up. The rotonone dust is used as it comes from the package. Nico- tine is used at the r ate of one ta- blespoon of 40 percent nicotine sulphate to one quart of strong soapsuds. There is still growing time—you can plant the fallowing seeds (inaturity time given in each case) beets, 55 days; snap beans (ten- der green) 52 days; New Zealand' spinach, 60 days; carrots (Chan- tenay) for storage, 70 days. Yes, and there is still time to plant the following plants: broc- soli, 42-48 days; cabbage (early), 55-70 days; eggplant, 80-110 days; peppers, 80-9-0 days; tomatoes, 30-55 days. Dissolve one-half pound of vic- tory garden fertilizer in 8 gallons of water and apply one cupful of this starter solution to each plant when planting it in the garden. Bichloride of mercury Q ounce to 8 gals. of water) applied along the row at the rate of 1 gallon to 35 feet of row, will protect radishes, onion, cabbage and cau- liflower from maggots. If tiny holes appear in leaves of toma- toes, peppers, eggplant and cel- ery, dust or spray with rotonone once a week to kill the flea bee- tles that make the holes.—By Mrs. A. T. M. Petersen, V.

Pape Two T3= LATCHPAR Wednesday, June 20, 1945 Issue New Rules For Building Plymouth residents will be in- terested in knowing that new regulations have been issued per- taining to building construction. But despite the relaxation of construction limitation order L-41, new home building, remodeling, maintenance and repair will be held back by the rigid lumber control order L-335, according to Hunter M. Gaines, secretary of the Michigan Retail Lumber Dealers association, Lansing, Michigan. "The new WPB order, which will allow up to $1,000 per year to be spent in new construction on a home or dwelling unit, puts the lumber and r4aterial dealer squarely on the spot," Secretary Gaines said. The new order will permit the expenditure of $1,000 on each dwelling unit, rather than on each structure. This means that $2,000'' can be spent on a duplex, $3,000 on a three-family apartment, and so on, up to $5,000. Also $1,000 can be spent on the farm home. "Lumber control order L-335 still allows the dealer to seii 10 per cent of the lumber he old in 1944 on retail sales unless the purchaser has a farm certificate or priority rating," Gaines ex- plained.

The delta formation at the mouth of the St. Clair river, in Lake St. Clair, is commonly known as the "St. Clair Flats." Intensive efforts are required to secure sufficient manpower to operate Great Lakes freighters. More than 14,000 men are needed including 3300 licensed officers, 7;000 skilled seamen, and the re- mainder unskilled workers. These ships carry vital war materials. Men working on the ships were referred to ocean-going vessels in the winter months, or to shore jobs.

Millions will be spent in ex- panding, reconditioning and re- converting Edison plants and fa- cilities as the need for tanks, planes, ships and guns is super- seded by the market for the im- plements of peace. The best evidence on how the company may be expected to meet those demands is contained in the record of how it met the obligation and the challenge of war. It means little to say that in 1944 The Detroit Edison company put 3,400,000;000 kilowatthours of power into the life lines of indus- try, but it is a bit clearer when it is explained that that powe- was equal to the strength of 40,- 500,000 men working eight hours a day for 300 days. In 1944 Detroit Edison produced 88 per cent more power than it did in 1939 when the war started in Europe. It accomplished that remarkable increase in produc- tion with an increase in power house capacity of only 21 per cent. It was accomplished with an act- ual decrease in the number of company employes. In 1939 the Detroit Edison company was em- ploying an average of 6,550 per- sons. In 1944 the total was down to 6,227. '�,'hile other costs of living and manufacturing rose steadily through the five-year period, the average price of all electricity sold by Detroit Edison decreased from 2.07 cents to 1.71 cents per kilo- watthour.

A Substitute A prominent Plymouth lady the other day went into one of the stores in an attempt to make a purchase of meat. She had been unable to secure any during the entire week—and the day she visited one of the Main street markets was the day that a meat supply is generally received. She got in line with the rest of the meat hungry people of Plymouth. It was exactly three and one half hours before she reached the meat counter—and then only to find that the supply was almost entirely gone. But why worry about meat? If everyone followed a proper diet, maintains Mrs. Vivian Mac - Fawn, Michigan 'State college ex- tension nutritionist, the :Meat shortages would have no ill ef- fects. A proper diet includes at least one pint of milk, one egg, two vegetables, two fruits, four slices of bread and three ounces of meat or a substitute each day, The big obstacle at present seems to be that most persons do not know what foods provide the same food values as the scarce three ounces of meat. Actually although everyone prefers to sink his teeth into a sizeable piece of steak, the same food values are obtainable in a cup and a half of dried lima beans, one quarter of a cup of yellow soy beans, three-quarters of a cup of crab - meat, or five tablespoons of cot- tage cheese. In addition to the basic diet, two peanut butter sandwiches, I especially on whole wheat, pro- vide more than an ample supply Does job Security Count with You?

Ebersole and the entire crew of the Liberator he flew during the past year, es- caped without a scratch. "But that doesn't mean that our plane wasn't hit.

Following is a summarization of OPA rules on the rights of in- dividuais to buy, raise, slaughter ,(or have siaugntered) and store meat. No points required. Farmers, living on their own farms, have the right to slaughter and store meat in food lockers for tlremsei.v- es or for members of their fami- lies (those who customarily eat at their tables, or on a farm they operate) so long as they produce the meat primarily for home con- sumption. Persons living in towns or on acreages who raise or fatten ani- mals (as outlined below) in their ;back yards are considered as farmers or producers. A man, living in town, who owns a farm where ie actually supervised the raising of .he live- stock, or a man buying an animal for meat and keeping it alive for sixty days on premises owned by him, may obtain the meat point free, provided that he was on those premises one-third of the sixty days stated, or ane -third of the time from birth to slaughter, or one-third of the time neces- sary to increase the animal's weight by 35 per cent. Meat stored tri lockers during point -free periods does not repre- sent a violation of ration laws when the meat cuts are returned to ration lists, except meats used by institutional users who are re- quired to surrender points for any rationed foods used with a point value higher than zero. Points required. Persons who buy young animals and arrange with a farmer to raise them, and who do not reside on the place where the animal is kept must surrender points, and al; others. Locker contents. Tiles lease of a locker comes under a court ruling that it is "extension of domicile" of the customer. The contents are his personal proper` y, just the same as if they were in his refrig- erator at home. No locker opera- tor has the right to open lockers for any person but the customer himself. OPA has legal authority to check records and to remove them for examination if they cho ,se OPA can obtain a search warrant through regular legal channels if they wish to examine the con- tents of .your locker. (But this re- quires court action and you have a right to oppose such action in court.) Save good things. Early in the rationing program, the locker hn- dustry got away from checkin. meat in and out of lockers and col- lecting points from customer:. Any breach away from. the letter of the law, or violations of the spirit of this regulation, if permit- ted to go on promiscuously, will jeopardize the good things now enjoyed. In this matter, locker operators intend to extend full cooperation to OPA in the ration- ing program. Such cooperation is essential to victory by the boys on the world's battle fronts. They needmore food per man than they did when they ate at moth- er's home table. All of us want them to have it. Food savings on the home front are an importan part of the war effort as well a a help to our overseas mer.. Thi locker industry can and ,foes of fer a great deal by the coonserva tion of the supply here in Ameri ca. Slaughtering. A custom slaugh. terer is required to secure Slaughter Certificate (R-1610; from the slaughterer wao is defin• ed as the "owner of the anima'.' A locker plant not performing custom slaughtering is not re- quired to have a certification for customer's meat. The Michigan state law requires that all foods be quick frozen be. fore being placed in a locker. Boy Scout News The troop formerly known as LV -1 which met at the Livonia township hall was unable to con- tinue from lack of adult leader- ship and a sponsoring institution. Let's all get busy and see that the boys in that neighborhood get the scouting they want. The parents of all boys within a radius of at least a mile of Farm- ington and Five Mile roads should get in touch with some member of the commissioners staff. If we could get ten fathers that were interested we could have excel- lent scouting in tha; neigibor- hood. This is an opportunity for some Sunday school (adult) class to do a real service for their church and community. Any other orga- nization could do this civic good turn. What organization or commun- ity group will be first to take ad- vantage of this opportunity. We challenge Newburg also to start the complete scouting pro- gram in that neighborhood Thele have a mens' group that sponsor a troop which meets a couple m'Jes from Newburg. Thera i nothing to prevent- that same group or some other one from sprnsoring another troop to meet.. in Newburg. Let's ha!ie a tr000 rear each re-ghboncco,l so all boys may have the opportunity of being members f some part of the scouting program. We are pre- pared to supply a prohrani for all boys from nine to twenty-one years of age. Attention Scout Masters! Your Editor, Nelson B.

As a result of the new ruling deferring all men more than 3U years of age, they were sent home again. They didn't mind in the least having arisen that early in the morning for such good news. The 11 who were sent home again were: Leland Laskey, of 419 Nort Main street; Arthur Al- brecht, of Detroit; Gerald E. Seitz, of Detroit; Russell Holbert, De- troit; Noel Catlett, Farmington. Leslie F. McNeil, Detroit; Jo- seph E. Cieslak, Detroit; Charles I'. Reed, Farmington; Fredericii Arnold, Mt.

A.s the jets exert the tremendous ?ressure of 1,400 pounds per square inch, they are moved back ind forth rapidly on a carriage, so that they will not bore holes n the logs.

There is plenty to indicate that the flag and banner were used for a considerable period by some Jap. Some of the toughest fighting of the Jap war has taken place oil the island of Davao, where the Plymouth boy is now stationed. His parents say that Cass, a former Plymouth high school stu- dent, has in his letters indicated much to reveal the toughness of the Jap fighters. My heart has always assured and reassured me that the gospel of Christ must be a divine reality.
