Home My WebLink AboutLivonian1945_0912School Opening Is Smooth Performance Livonia's public schools began their 1945-46 term last week with a bang. Figures are not available but Superintendent Harry S. Johnson feels certain that There is a marked increase. The addition of another bus this ,year is largely responsible for the increased enrollment. Of course many new families have moved into Livonia since school closed last spring. Accommodations at all elemen- tary schools are taxed to capacity and Newburg and Livonia Jur,►ior high schools are experiencing very few empty seats. Due to the two-day pre-school institute for the Livonia faculty the opening day moved like clock work. •Smoothness marked the reg- istration and enrollment at all schools, -Supt. Johnson said. Renovated rooms, new desks and in many cases new chairs, fresh supplies and a general air of cleanliness at all schools aided both the teachers' and students morale and made the unseason- able temperatures a bit more bearable. *THE LIVONIAN* Entered at the Plymouth, M16higan, 1"Wfam as Second Class Mail utter.

To determine the students most likely to succeed as music students and who are particularly adapted to play an instrument and be- come members of the band, Mr. Moore plans aptitude tests. Along with the building expan- sion program will come added groups, Mr. Moore says, such as glee clubs, choruses, stringed en- semble and Vance orchestra. In urging the parents to en- courage a child's desire to have a musical education, Mr. Moore says, "the study of music with its sight-reading and development of the sense of tune, tempo and ap- preci-ation of symphonic sound, tend to and nerves co-ordinate eyes. no othersubject can. ,Jahn s Opening This Saturday The new business. venture o the Jahn's on Five Mile road will open officially this week end With a grocery and meat market a hardware and a lumber com- pany already in operation the Jahns announce in this issue the - opening of their newest unit 71 new appliance store.

Chief Roberts Gives Warning With the approaching dry fall season an increase in grass fires has been noticed. 'Chief Roberts wishes again to warn residents of the township, particularly -child- ren, about the dangers and prop- erty loss caused by this useless practice. Just this week a grass fire was started in Coventry Gar- dens that, had it gotten out of hand, would have proved to be very serious. Grass fires are a serious menace to property surrounding the area being burned and it is usually the property of someone other than the ;party starting the fire that is destroyed. It is not widely known, but there is a state law that requires a permit to burn off an area and it should be carefully noted that in -case of the destruction of sur- rounding property, the person that starts the grass fire is liable for the loss as well as 'being prosecut- ed the Fire Marshal's Divi- sion of the Michigan State Police is very tough with the careless person starting a grass fire and it might .be well to,note too, that all fires are reported to this .Division and an inspection is usually made at a future date. The Livonia Township Woman's Club celebrates its first anniver- :ary. Wednesday, Sept. 19. That particular day we would like to ,see all the members of the club turn out for the occasion and bring their friends to observe the activities of this fine club that is doing so much for the township. Hope Chapel at 12:30 p.m. Future Here Is Best In County Grass fires, as a rule, never burn the large and most objec- tionable weeds as the fire travels too fast, also it burns up many bird's nests (pheasants are going to be very short this year anyway) and Michigan State College some time ago stated that 'burning of grass in no way helps the ground whatsoever. If any large area is to be burned, it is advisable to get a permit to do so and when the time comes to do the burning, call the Fire Department and tell them that you are planning on burn- ing a certain area and it is more than likely that arrangements can be made to see that the fire truck and men or other equip- ment quip ment can be on the scene in case of a change of wind or if the fire gets out of control from some other cause . . it is easier to keep out of trouble than to get out after it is too late. It would be well to have par- ents warn the children of the danger to themselves and sur- rounding ur rounding property relative to starting grass fires no matter ho small they may be . . . record show that in 1944 in the Unit States, the careless use of match- es atch es in woods and wooded areas together with grass fires, destroy- ed timber land equal in area to the whole state of Connecticut . .

When the (President pro tempore of the Senate becomes its pre- -ding v officer through a vacant, in the Vice -Presidency, his sal ^ry is increased from the $10,000 he received as a senator to the x',1'5;000 received by his predeces sor. With Livonia township's new zoning law in the process of be- ing written, additional plans for making the area Northwest De- troit's newest, and 'biggest and most modern suburb are being formulated. That Livonia has a bright fu- ture is the firm :belief of the four - man zoning board and planning commission of which Carson John- ston is the chairman. This group, all -of whom have been ,approved by all Wayne county probate judges, have the welfare and future of Livonia very much at heart. By admission none of them wanted the job they now have but took it to hely make Livonia an inviting subur- ban area for Detroiters and oth- ers desiring relief from 'conges- tion. With enactment of the new zon- ing law they now are writing, Livonia will in one (big step es- tablish itself as the city of the future, opponents of zoning regu- lations notwithstanding. In adidtion to the zoning law the township also is contemplating the construction of a huge con- solidated public school building at an estimated cost of $700,0.00, ac- cording to Mr. Johnston. It will be built on a 3'5 -acre tract on the southeast corner of the intersection of Five Mile and Hubbard roads. The school, ac- cording to plans; will be the most modern high school for many miles around. Such a building program will be financially possible in Livonia, because the township's qualified electors only recently voted to increase their school tax by four mills for a period of five years. This action by the electors re- flects the spirit of forward think- ing and of -rogress most predomi- nate at this time in Livonia. It is - a very 'healthy state of affairs for any region when its voters almost unanimously favor a tax increase. Livonia, though lacking in one centralized business district, is definitely not as rural .as would appear. It has its own comunica tion system—modern dial tele- phones—and has a water system, - 'sewers and both electric and gas for home and industrial heating, w cooking and power. s Its fire department, one of Mich - ed igan's best, has broug'h't a 30 pe_ - cent decrease in the area's fir(, insurance rates. The truck is housed at Rosedale 'Gardens. Cal - vin Roberts is chief of the de- partment. The truck was purchased by Rosedale 'Gardens through a spe- cial assessment but serves the en- tire township. * When the public dictates the tunes, the Metropolitan stars sin - songs that could be done well b- - any member of a good church choir.

They were the five sons of Mr, and Mrs. Joseph 'Herter. All are natives of Plymouth, born in the same house, and four are graduates of Plymouth high school. The fifth left the school it his last ,year to enlist. This in a unique honor both to_ Plymouth and the Herters. It is unusual for an entire family of youths to 'be in service. Plymouth should be proud that such a dis- tinction was brought it by the five Herter boys. The city also should join in re- joicin~ with their parents that all have :ben spared injury and, bar- ring any unforeseen complication, all will return to Plymouth in due time. Until a few days ago when Jaynes Lester Herter, 29, was dis- charged from the Merchant Ma- rine, all five were in active ser- vice. James was formerly employ- ed at Kelsey -Hayes. His wife, Pa- tricia, and two sons reside in Plymouth. The eldest son, Vincent, 31, an electrician's mate second class in the Navy, is now and for the last 18 months has been stationed at Maui, in the Hawaiian Islands. He has not been home since No- vember. 1943. Vincent, formerly employed at Willow Run in the powerhouse, entered service in September, 1943. His wife, Mar- garet, and daughter, Mary, are Plymouth residents. Robert J. Herter, 26, is a ser- geant in the intelligence corps of the Seventh Army Air Force. For the last two years he has been overseas. Right now Bob is in the Ryukyu Islands just off the coast of Japan. Since entering the Army in June, 1941, he has been back to Plymouth only once. His wife, Wanda, resides at Northville. Be- fore going into service Robert was employed at the plating works. After 26 months duty on Mid- way Island with the United State Marine 'Corps, Pfc. William Her- ter, 22, has been furloughed home and is now at Kamp LeJeune, North Carolina. He was in Plym- outh the early part of June. Wil- liam a former Kelsey -Hayes em- ployee, enlisted in the Marines in February, 1943. The youngest, Pfc. Richar,�[ Her- ter, 21, a Fifth Army veteran, is now assigned to help distribute clothing to patients at Percy Jones Hospital, Battle Creek. Diel -7, as he is known in Plymouth, let: high school in his senior .year to enlist. He started his training in Feb- ruary, 1943. He has had 22 months service overseas and is a veteran of the North Africa and Italy inva- sions. He is privileged to wear three battle stars. Unions calling strikes before the end of the 39 -day "cooling -off" period may be sued for damageq by employees as well as employ- ers. One such suit for $41,500 w2s brought recently in Pittsburgh by 25 workmen who refused to recog- nize an illegal strike and suffer- ed this amount of damage in lost wages and injuries inflicted by the strikers. THE LIVONIAN With soap one of the scarce items on retailers' shelves, home- makers are finding it necessary to practice soap -saving economy, says Julia Pond, extension spe- cialist in home management a': Michigan State College. Soap is most frequently waste:' by us ng it to soften water. Even when plentiful, soap is an expen- sive water softener and should no,, be used for that purpose. Two very inexpensive ants effective water softeners are trisodium ana sai socia. Sal soda can always be obiamed at grocery stores. Triso ilium phosphate can oe purchasea at paint and haraware stores as well as at some grocery stores. When a water softener is used, it should be thoroughly dissolved in the water before the soap is added. This reduces the quantity of soap used and at the same time produces the desired suds. In other words, give the softener an op- portunity to soften the water be- fore adding the soap. Save both soap and water soft- ener by measuring the quantities to be used. First, do a little experi-! menCing to learn how much is needed. After this is done, keep', the measuring device in or near', the packages of softener and soap. j Measure, don't. guess. When bar soap is used for laun- dering, make it into a soap jelly or soap solution. It will suds morel, quickly in these forms and do a better job of cleaning. An obstacle in prosecuting many major war criminals is the influ- ence they may wield through aristocratic and royal friends and relatives.For example, Josias von Waldeck, the SS general respon- sible for the transfer of 2,000,000 Frenchmen to the Reich as slave laborers, is a cousin of Queen Wil- helmina; and Albert von Sachsen- Koburg 'head of the German Red Cross who permitted the atrocities in "Nazi concentration camps, is a great-grandson of Queen Victoria. Apropos, Marshal Badoglio of Ita- ly is still unpunished for 'having used poison gas against the Ethi- opians in 1936, because he is a lifelong friend of King Victor Emmanuel. * BUY WAR BONDS Make This Your Jewelry Headquaners Redfozds Oldest Established Jewelers—Just west on (#rano River Ave., at Lasher Page Five Everybody finds out, sooner or Those who are found blessing later, that all success worth hav- God under all their losses, shall ing is founded on Christian rules find God blessing them after all of conduct.—Henry Martyn Field their losses.—W.

Mary's whole attitude about kitchens changed immediately. She used to be impatient with the way a kitchen ties a woman to the home. Now she's very happy with her homemaking tasks. Her electric range gives such uni- form results that failures and disappointments are a rarity, and the automatic features make cooking much easier. Perhaps her favorite helper is the electric dish- washer. I did a little time -study of her dishwashing and found that the dishwasher saves her about one working day every month. My mechanical mind is fascinated by the garbage disposal unit in the sink. My wife says it's a real convenience—this way we never really have garbage. Well, I could go on a good deal longer about the help she gets from her mixer, juicer, percolator and toaster—and I guess I don't even need to mention her electric refrigerator, for every- body recognizes now that there's no other method of refrigeration that equals the modern, electric way. Boy! Our all -electric kitchen sure has made a differ- ence in our household." Electric kitchen equipment is notgenerally available for sale now. Some is being manufactured and distributed. It will be to your advantage to have your name on your electrical dealer's list, so that you will be able to get it at the earliest possible time. It's not too early to be thinking about what electricity can do for your home in the days to come. Forward-looking families are giving careful consideration to all the labor-saving, com- fort -making conveniences that electricity can provide. They have learned by experience that the old-fashioned way is the wasteful way. They know that the magic of electricity can make their living better, safer and happier. They are about to turn on the electric life. 1L0111 k M 41 1 i 45, for information. He will be glad to help you decide upon the models that will fit your needs.
