Miss Martha McClenahan of Chicago will teach in the Livonia Junior high school. She's a gradu- ate of Ball State and Monmouth Teachers' Colleges in Illinois, and has an A.B. degree. Last year she taught in Galesburg, Illinois. Mr. Lewis F. Balmes will re- place Mr. James Rossman, who expects to be called into the arr:i- ed services August 26. He will be principal of the Newburg school, teaching mathematics and Boys' Physical Education. Mr. Balmes has his Bachelor Degree from the University of Michigan and for the past two summers has been working on his Master's Degree in Ann Arbor. Last year Mr. Bal- mer was principal of the Foster School at Willow Run; a school with 20 teachers and 750 pupils. In addition to teaching administra- tive and supervisional experience, he has had experience in recrea- tional and playground supervis- ion and school building mainte- nance. Mrs. Beatrice Bowen, principal of the Rosedale Garden school has resigned. The care of a home, the needs of three small children and the lack of help were the reasons given for her resignation. Last year Mrs. Bowen did an outstand- ing job as principal and it is with much regret that the Board ofI Education has to accept her resig- nation. Mrs. Bowen will be re- placed by Miss Donna Baker of Wayne, Mich. Miss Baker during the past year has been an assist- ant ssist-ant principal at Wayne. She has had considerable experience in. elementary grades, guidance and!. counciling, and as a visiting teacher. She is the author of a book on childrens poetry and a, number of her articles have been published in the National Edu• cational Journal. Miss Baker ob- tained her Bachelor's Degree from Western State Teachers' College, and completes the requirements for a Masters Degree, excepting her thesis, at the University of Michigan this summer. Besides her duties as principal, she will teach the 4th grade at Rosedale this coming year.

We've been pleasantly surprised, too, to discover that elec- tric lecttric water -heating is completely clean—and dependable and trouble-free. In our home hot water flows all day—for washing dishes, laundry, washing and scrubbing, baths, constant washing of faces and hands.

When asked which kinds of pie and cake the boys liked best, she said, "They're not particular about the kind of cake and their favorite pies in order of prefer- ence are apple, lemon cream, cho- colate and cocoanut cream. All they ask is that the baked goods be homemade and that there is ;.enty of coffee and milk.

With three sons overseas in service, Mrs. McDowell is anx- ious to help the club in giving local service men the little ex tras which she hopes some other woman might be giving her boys. Mrs. McDowell, who is allowed sugar and shortening stamps for this fine work and who is -.willing to herself bake the sixteen pies and nine cakes needed each time requests that Livonia township Woman's Club members donate money for this fine work. A feature of the club's day of entertaining for servicemen is, the birthday cake which Mrs. McDowell bakes and decorates for any soldier who may have a birth- day in the current month. Her committee for July included Mrs. Bessie Brown, Mrs. Mary Hinkel, Mrs. Winnifred Nixon, Mrs. Florence Crawford, Mrs, Eli- zabeth Russell, Mrs. Irene Coder and Doris McDowell.
