Lloyd who sometime ago put forth a great deal of effort and hard work toward making an ice hockey rink in' Rosedale Gar- dens is still spending much. time trying to make it successful. However much of his labor is thwarted by the weather condi- tions, but regardless - he still spends several evenings a week, in the zero and sub zero weath- er, flooding the rink in hopes that it will remain cold for a protract- ed period to enable full use of the facilities. Mr. Lloyd is to be commended for his fine efforts and perhaps if a little of his spirit could be innoculated into more of the Dads in the community, whose children use the rink, it would make less work for all concerned. DADS your children are worth it, give him a little aid if asked, for it is hard and, cold work. It has been suggested that the new Men's Club sponsor the project. Fireman's Pall Tickets Are Still Available Do you want a ticket to the .

There will be dancing, refresh- ments served and many door priz- es donated by the merchants of the community. The affair: Fireman's Ball The place: St. Michael's Hall The date: Saturday, February 23rd from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00' a.m. Fireman's Ball tickets are $1.80 including tax.

Instrumental inputting Wilcox School at the top of the list in the collection of the March of Dimes was James Calling, son of Mrs. Mildren Calling of 15.415 Auburndale, Livonia. "Jim's case is an unusual one because of the fact that two years ago this coming April he fell on the ice and fractured his hip. Since that time he has been on crutches and his doctor states. "It will be another year before he will be able to discard them." The fracture cut off the blood circula- tion and he must undergo month- ly. X-ray treatments as a correc- tive measure. Mrs. Coiling says, "Jim has gone along much better than I have, he is always happy and very cheerful." The Wilcox School pupils, inspired by James Calling's efforts, collected $104.41 which is almost twice as much as the next closest competitor the Rosedale Garden School -with $54.80.

Vol. 6, No. 52 Rosedale . PTA Celebrates "Founders Day" The 49th PTA Founders' Day was celebrated in Rosedale Gar- dens last Wednesday by a ban- quet with sixty in attendance. The highlight -of the evening was the speeches given by three d.is-, tinguished guests; :our own Mr. Richardson Rice, Rev. Woodrow Wooley, the new .pastor of the Rosedale Presbyterian Church, and Harry Johnson, Supt. of Li- vonia schools. They were intro- duced by toastmaster, Irving Ben- son. ,Mr. Rice stressed the import- ance`of giving children a feeling of belonging to the home and sharing in its responsibilities, Rev. Wooley brought to our attention the importance of bringing chil- dren into closer relationship with God and making their ideals a part of -daily living. Mr. Johnson spoke,of the responsibility of the school system in providing quali- fied teachers, clean and adequate school facilities and up-to-date textbooks. Mr. Johnson pointed out that the schools have operat- ed under considerable difficulty and shortages clue to wartime conditions. He said it- is hoped that the application of the School (Continued on Page 8) Tax Payers Assn, Seeks Post Office Confronting the Livonia Tax Payers Association' at their monthly meeting Wednesday. February 13th, were two major problems: a post office for Li- vonia and water piped in to the new Clarenceville High School. Lawrence Britton, chairman of the post office committee was au- thorized to again contact the Post Master General in regard to. a branch office for this locality. Corresponding was done before the war ' with the necessary par- ties, but at the outbreak Livonia was notified that due to the war it would be impossible to go ahead with the plans, but at the cessation of hostilities the Post Master General would again con- sider the request. Three residents of the: Clarence- ville area brought up the prob- lem of the poor water: conditions at the High School. At the pres- ent time, there is no drinking water during the second lunch pe- riod at noon. Also after athletic contests, the contestants must go over to 8 Mile road in order to get showers. Roy Davis was appoint- ed a committee of one to contact Jesse Ziegler and the Township Water Board to see what can be done about this problem. Following the business meet- ing, the group enjoyed a bingo game at which Mrs. William Fenske, Roy Davis and Charles Cooper seemed to have a monopo- ly on the lucky cards.

This new rate, worked out by the Company and approved by the Michigan Public Service Commission, became effective in jalrtnary, 1946. Your next Edison bill will be figured on this lower basis, tending to offset bills which are nor- mally higher during th-e winter season with its short Clark days. The price of residence electricity has decreased gradually since the end of World War I. Now you get twice as much electricity for your money as you fdid then. Detroit Edison rates are now the lowest in the Com- panv's history. The quality of our service remains unchanged. T:-ursday, February 21, 1946 Suggests School Luncheon Menu --,Vhat can I send to school for the children's lunch?" That's . a common question, often accompanied by a long sigh, that many rural ' mothers ask themselves most every school -day mc_ ning. really good lunch will bring forth exclamations of delight fro._n the •children—and mother will be happy. So, Miss Roberta He: shey, extension nutrition spe- cia.ist at Mich.gan State college, makes these suggestions: If the hot dish is not supplied at School, send one from home: in a jar to be heated in a hot-water bat'n at school. And, for that hot dish, here are a few tips:- cream- ed mixed vegetables with sliced egg, liver and tomato , with spa- g-etti, corn chowder, creamed I^gond and peas, lima beans and to_natoes with bacon, cracked wheat chowder with vegetables, sp:_t pea soup' with cured pork, or peanut butter -tomato soup. =;e sure that something crisp an -d succulent is included such as strips of raw carrot, beet, turnip, green pepper, celery, cabbage, wedges, or an apple. - Cole slaw, canned fruit, puddings, or cus- ta ds may be carried in small sc.ew-fop jars.

If it isnot included in the ho dish, plain milk or a surprise milk drink should be sent along. Us- ually children like. prune -tog. Just Mix cup of, prune juice, or strained prunes, with cup of milk., It may be sweetened, to taste. Raw vegetables make fine sand- wich fillings. Some of the good combinations are grated carrots and raisnins; chopped cabbage, grated carrot and pickle combined with small amounts of salad dressing. Superintendents Meet at Pen Mar, .

School Board Confronted filth Lack of Rooms Finding school rooms and fa- 6lities for 90 to 100 of the 143 junior high students who will graduate from Livonia and New- burg Junior Highs in the spring is the chief problem confronting the Livonia Township School District. Next spring, Plymouth High school expects to graduate 45 seniors, Northville 7, Farming- ton 10, Redford Union 6, Redford 3 and Cooley 1, totaling 72 stu-. dents. In the spring, 143 students ,will graduate from Livonia and Newburg Junior Highs and ac- cording to the present set-up and understanding with the various schools, Livonia will be allowed to send to the above named schools the same number that were graduated the previous spring providing the resident en- rollments of `these high schools do not increase. Some of the typical answers received in response to a request addressed to these high schools, inquiring as to the number of pupils they would accept next year, were as follows: "Last ,year itwasnecessary to eliminate the ninth grade from one school district. It looks as if it may be necessary to turn down ninth grade students from Livo- nia Township for the school year 1946-47." "Due to our over -crowded buildings, it is entirely possible that by next September we may not be able to accept any new students from Livonia Township. I know that you are handicapped ,v ithout a high school and we would very -Much like to help You out, but it is not wise for us to take on additional students when we •do not have space enough for our own residents." "We have made a study of the probable student load in our nigh . school for the year 1946-1947 and have concluded that we will be PLUMBING AND HEATING C. J.

We are carrying a maximum load now. However, your students are more than wel- come and we shall continue to ac- cept every boy and girl that we can squeeze in." "Two years ago the Board of Education resolved to accept a number of students which was equal to the number of Livonia pupils who were graduated from our high school the previous year. Since that time our local school population has gradually increas- ed. We contemplate an additional increase in our local district again this year. It will therefor be nec- essary for the Board of Education to follow the above mentioned policy for the sciool year 1946- 1947." Trnere are four possibilities ,vhich could remedy t, -,e situation; one, bu ld a new high school; sec- ond, build temporary buildings in the To,L: ns',,ip; third, send more Stadeilts to the surrounding high schools: fourth., eliminate kinder- garten and go to half day ses- sions. The first possibility has al- rea,dy been undertaken by the School Board in trying to obtain State and Federal Aid. The local taxpayers are now taxing _them- selves 515..25 per thoasand dollars of assessed valuation for school purposes-, S10.25 for operation and debt service and 55.00 for build- ingand site funds. By January of 1947 the •district will have approximately $72,000 in the Building l and Site Sinking Fund. To complete the first unit of the proposed high school, in- cluding 12 class rooms, 6 science rooms, 3 home econonmics and 3 shop and drafting rooms, plus a gymnasium, cafeteria and kitch- en, and 'heating plant, it would be necessary to secure 5630,000 from outside sources. With the pres- ent valuation and a 5 mill levy 'it would be necessary to float a 19 year bond issue, but a five year constitutional limitation amend- ment prohibits the possibility of such a bond issue. In order to raise the necessary money taxes would have to be increased or outside aid obtained. According to a representative of the Department of Bublic In struction, the second possibility is not feasible nor practicable. Tem- porary structures are not con- ducive to stludents getting the most out of their education nor to study. In a progressive and grow- ing school system, the buildings should be of a permanent nature. Erecting temporary- structures now, tearing them down and eventually building permanent buildings only adds to the cost. The third possibility is im- possible because of the fact that surrounding .high schools are al- ready filled and in some cases over -crowded and have stated that they cannot accept any more students. At most the maximum number of students that could be taken care of in this area would be 40 to 50 out'o fa total of 143. In the fourth case by abolition- ing kindergarten, four elementary rooms could be gained but the 1946-47 school year calls for an increase of three elementary rooms, leaving a surplus of one, but the problem of the ninth grade would still exist. The half day sessions would affect 10 first grade groups. At the present time the school rooms total 44 with ,.1580.. pupils :enrolled:.�n_-tha__elg---;,. mentary system and 441 in the various high schools. A 9 percent increase is anticipated next year. Three elementary rooms are needed in the fall plus rooms for be 40 to 50 out of a total of 143. ninth grade students. The Board of Education is still studying the problem and hasn't entirely given up hopes for some kind of Federal aid. Federal aid will have to be made available this year if the district is going to solve its problem. The Board of Education has requested the organizations in Livonia Town- ship to petition our Congressman and Senators to support this legis- lation.

Plans are being formulated to hold a joint meeting with the Li- vonia Township Board in regard to attracting new industry to this locality. t :� est t�� i OUR AIM is to provide the kind of telephone service you want. We have no choice but to grow as the demand for our service grows. That's our public responsibility— and we like it that way. Right now, the demand for tele- phone service is- at an all-time high. To meet it and prepare for future growth, we have a 5 -year post-war program under way that will cost $120,000,000. Money to finance that program must come from thrifty people who are willing to invest in Bell System securities. If our prospects for future earnings are less attractive than those of other companies, folks will invest their money elsewhere. In recent years, the rate of Tele- phone Company earnings has been declining until at the end of the war it was far below the average of other industries. So it boils down to this: Too long a continuation of a rate of earnings substantially below that of other industries would weaken our ability to raise the money required to meet expected telephone needs. The future quality of your telephone MICHIGAN BELL TELEPan Aft HONE service depends on telephone rates that will produce earnings attractive to investors. We believe our customers want good telephone service, even if it costs a trifle more than inferior service. Technical improvements in the past brought rates for good service down and have kept them down in the face of rising costs. As rapidly as future improvements will permit, we expect and want our rates to come down still further. For, Michi- gan Bell wants rates no higher—and no lower—than necessary to insure good telephone service.

SMOKE? FIRE is combustion. There are ( three things necessary to make a fire: 1. A cumbustible substance such as wood, paper, leaves, etc. 2. Sufficient heat to bring the substance to its ignition point. 3. Sufficient oxygen for it to burn. It nautrally follows that if you remove any one of the above conditions the fire will go out. The reason that wa- ter is, used in most cases to extinguishh a fire is that it re- moves TWO of the condi- tions; (A) it lowers the heat below the ignition point by absorbtion (b) it exludes the oxygen, usually by the prin- ciple of fog, (the breaking^ up of water into millions of Par- ticles which allows for great- er (absorbtion and blanket- ing.) Common solids and liquids really do not burn . . , it is the vapor given off when suf- ficiently heated that really burns. Most substances ca- pable of burning are com- posed for the most part of caxbq} .... when these sub- stanees• become suffic enty heated, the carbon unites with the oxygen, in the air and vapor (carbon monoxide) is formed .., the action takes place clewly a -rid invisibly, but once the vapors are gw- en off and provided the tem- perature is maintained, the carbon monoxide units with more oxygen and: carbon dsoxide is formed . . . this last mixture of carbon mo- noxide with oxygen is very rapid, the rapidity is so great and the heat so high that light in the form of FLAME is given off . . . the chemi- cal action is now visible to the naked eye and we look at it and say "There is a Are." This is combustion .. . the cycle is very simpue .. . heat is applied to a sub- stance, vaporizing it vaporized substance mixes with oxygen to form heat and more vapor . . vapor burns giving off more heat and light which in turn caus- e, original substance to give off more vapor and mix with more oxygen and so on until the substance is: completely consumed. As we have said above, most substances are compos- ed of carbon ... when heat- ed sufficiently it gives oft vapor .. . these vapors rep- resent thefirs( stages of combustion . if heating was continued actual cum-. bustion would take place, BUT as is frequently the case (in a closed up house) the HEAT is 'short of the ignition point _ and, actual combustion cannot occur ... in such a case, the vapors of the gases escaping carry off thousands of minute parti- cles of CARBON from- the original substance .. , these particles are .SMOKE. In other words, when there is not sufficent heat or oxygen. to support chemical reaction to the point of combustion., we have smoke. we have SMOKE.

Despite the fact that an epi - deme of measles has caused the attendance to be somewhat poor in the lower grades, school activ- ities :parch merrily on. Grade 1 and 2—So few are in school that a great deal of reme- dial %vork can be accomplished by giving individual attention to each pupil by the teacher. Grade 3-4—These pupils are busy improving their spelling. Fine posters with helpful steps for spelling are proving their worth. Grade 5-26—The boys and girls of these two grades are putting forth a great deal of effort to im- prove their Grammar work. Some are ,vizards when it comes to dia- graming difficult sentences. Grade 7-8—These students be- lieve in not only working hard but also playing hard. After school hours both grades found relaxation, fun and excitement at a birthday party given Tues- day in honor of Fay Fraam, and at a Valentine party held Friday at .Margaret Marsh's home. Both of these social affairs will linger long in their memories as happy days. They are especially grateful to Mrs. Lentner, who so willingly drove the group to Fay's home in the school bus, and to the parents who made these parties possible and' -so willingly offered their ser- vices as chaperons.—Leo Tolpa. Livonia School. Ha -,,,,e you seen the new stores in Livonia Township? Have ,you seer, all the new houses being built in Livonia Township? Yes, Livonia Township is growing': What is needed most in a growing Township? Right! A high school. The children of Livonia Township need a high school because not many can go to Plymouth, North- ville: Farmington, Redford, Red- ford Union, Dearborn, or the rest of the high schools in the Detroit irea—only the schools in the slum districts have room. Do you want your children to go to school in the blighted areas? If you don't YOU will get busy to get a high school. We can "throw up" some army barracks and have them in- stead of a good high school. If we had the barracks, we wouldn't get cur hgh school for some time. But if you do want the high schaz;l, you will p;ave to fight for it! By this, I mean to write to Honorable Governor Kelly and to your representative and to the Federal Government in Washing- ton, D. C. You can also "drum Up" support from your friends and neighbors to back up the members of the Board of Educa- tion on their plans for an ade- quate high school.

A review of available sour- - ces of _nformation indicates that the ignition temperature of wood is in the neighborhood of 750 dogs. F under conditions of rapid heafing. The time element involved in bringing the temperature of the wood to the ignition point, that is the rate of heating, is particularly important because wood undergoes certain chemi- cal changes when subjected to temperatures which are con- siderably below that necessar7 to produce ouick ignition. Tess at the Forest Products Labora- tory were made with block 1 V4 x11/4x4 inches in size, placed in a quartz tube held vertically with the heating element sur- rounding it and permitting free natural draft of air thru it. Under these conditions, distil- lation of the wood took place, with the liberation of vapors which could be ignited by flame. The ignition by flame was possible when the wood was held at 600 -degs. F for 2 minutes, at 500 degs F. for 5 minutes, at 400 •degs F. for 20 E minutes, or when held at 340 a degs. F for 40 minutes. In addition to this liberation of burnable gases at relatively �v temperatures, it is believed teat long application of heat l may produce a condition where the wood is lazbell% turned to charcoal in a o ,n g subject to spontaneous combus- tion. A large number of fires are thought to Have been caused by low pressure steam pipes in contact with wood. This Nvoui l �, ate that l cnz continue-.' `:' "eating a temperature as low as 212 degs F (steam) may �roduoe ignition under favor- able circumstances. tl The probability, as indicated I by the tests at the Forest Prod- ucts Laboratory, that almost any wood, vvhen subjected to a temperature of about 400 degs. F for from 20 minutes to a half hour, will produce gases which are easily ignited. In any room where there is considerable ;woodwork, t a smouldering fire burning un- discovered 1.,r half an hour or more might heat a considerable portion of the woodwork to aA point where it gives off a large quantity of burnable gases. In addition much of the wood- work might be alcove the igni- tion temperature and only need an additional supply of air to burn at a rapid rate. Under such conditions when a door is opened and a fresh supply of air is admitted, al- most immediate inflaming of the whole -room can be ex- pected. This is why so often a house is seen with smoke coming out 'of every crack and through the shingles and there is no flame, but as soon as a window or door is opened the whole house is a mass of flames. It has been caused by the terrific heat that has been built up in the closed house just waiting for e.-,7oagh more oxygen to let go. The above . emphasizes the desirability of avoiding the use of wood in situations where there is a possibility of long continued temperatures -acting upon it. b -1"T EL "We "*in to Please" Phone Your Order to 101 Northville Night Calls Phone- 68 C.
