At the Board of Education meeting last Monday, the Livonia Teachers Club presented to the Board a petition for an increase in pay of $53.00 per month effec- tive December 1. The Teachers stated that the Sales Tax Amefidment would benefit the district between $24,- 0,00 and $30,000 this year and about $75;00 next year, the 1947- 48 school year. A� an alternative, the teachers suggested that if the Board would not o. k. the 553.00 raise then they would accept 70% of the ncrease in sales tax monies. This they state would set up a min- imum of $2,4CO for all teachers in the Livonia District. The matter was tabled until after the holidays at which time the Board would take the matter up with representatives of the organization. At the present time Christmas programs and the forthcoming holidays do not per- mit ample time to discuss this important matter. Dan McKinney, Leo Nye and Jesse Ziegler members of the Water Board met with the Board to discuss the .possibilities of gett- ing water piped in to the new high school. It was also announced, that plans were going ahead to move the building from the Wayne County Airport to the high school site and the estimated cost to move, relocate, put in the plumb- ing and wiring would run in the neighborhood of $7;00-0. This move will allow one additional room in the present plans and greatly in- hance the possibilities of getting a gymnasium in the near future. —fir— — Ike Stevens New Owner Oil Truck Catches Fire A serious was averted by the efficient extinguishment of a fire on an oil truck owned by the Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. on Mon- day, December 9 at 3:35 p.m. at the corner of Cavour and 5 Mile roads. The fire was caused by a con- nected rod of the truck motor which in turn broke the car- buretor, allowing gasoline to run out over the hot motor. By the use of a foam extin- guisher and water fog the fire was soon under control. The truck was damaged to the extent of ap- proximately $300.00, the greater part of the damage being caused by the failure of the truck me- chanism.

Livonian Saves X61,000 For Bank Robert Burns, quick thinking Livonian, tricked two armed bandits Richard and Andrew Firth, last Thursday when the cousins tried to hold up the De- troit Bank at Michigan and 24. .Pointing to the alarm button on the wall, Burns, who was ordered to open the safe replied, "I can't open it alone; its a neer kind of combination. One of you press the button while I work the combination." Within two minute squad cars had arrived on the scene and the Firths were arrested inside of the bank. This fast thinking saved the bank about $61,000, which had already :been gathered by the pair. Mr. Burns was unarmed. The bandits had taken the gun from his desk. According to the pair this was to have been their last haul and then they intended to give up the life of robbery. However, this will undoubtedly will be their last haul for some time and they will give up this kind of a life. Mr. Burns, who his home at home at 9615 Berwick, now has another interesting tale to tell ,his friends and relatives along with his huge stock of war stories which he gathered as a German prioner in the first World War. Blue Birds Party Slated for December 30th The Blue Birds of Livonia Cen- t:�r will have their Christmas Party after the holiday due to the extensive parties planned there seems to be no time be- fore Christmas. On December 30th they will meet at the home of their Guar- dian, Mrs. Richard Gaston of Edington Road from 7 to 9 p.m. The younger sisters and broth- ers of Blue Birds and their mothers have been invited to attend. Vol 7, No, 43 Clifford Yarnell who has in his lifetime been with stock com- panies, ministrel shows, Show boats and circuses and who is at the present time the manager of the Tuxedo Theater in Highland Park was the very interesting speaker last Monday for the weekly Rotary meeting. Mr. Yarnell with only two years of formal education joined the circus when ten years of age. Despite this lack of schooling he is able to speak and write French and German. In his talk he brought out the facts that the circus people are the most generous found in any type of business and that the true circuses are clean organiza- tions and have very stringent restrictions and rules in regaid to drinking and associating be- tween members on the grounds. Well run and well, managed circuses have a -black list and when a person is fired it is next to impossible to get rehired. Their system of routine is the best in the world & many types of business such as the Ford Motor Co. often send men around with the circus to find out this routine in order to incorporate it in production. For with the circus everyone is always ready and each and every- one has a particular job to do. The unloading proceedure is one of the mostefficient and interest- ing to watch. Each circus carries its own doc- tors; detectives, ministers and priests. Mr. Yarnell told of the sad and lonely life the clowns lead. "For it is tradition that no one talks with them at any time on the grounds." While in the show business Clifford Yarnell worked with George White, famous for the "Scandals", for two years, with Ziegfield and the "Follies" for three years and was Will Rogers manager. He stated that Will Rogers was one of the most hu- man people that he ever worked for or came in contact with and would have undoubtedly made a wonderful President. Mr. Rogers was a diplomat and just prior to his sudden and tragic death was writing for a syndicate of 67, newspapers. Circus people are the best paid in the world and in 1896 received $25.0,0 per week as well as room and board. Ringling Brothers Bar- num and Bailey is at the present time the largest in the world and they have 61 cars making up their train. Campfire Party At Hamilton Home Today The Wo -Un -Ca Campfire Girls will hold their Christmas Party today at the home of their Guar- dian Mrs. Edward -Hamilton from 4 to 6 P.M.

Banish These Fire hazards Fr --m time to time one hears many criticisms from the "side- walk fire chief" regarding, the actions of firemen at a fire. Fore- most along this line is the remark .,one often hears "Why does a fire- man seems to like to use an axe so often." He doesn't like to. He has a definate purpose in mind and,is not just for personal ex- cercise as anyone will admit that has had to use an ax for length of time. The axe, • as applied to fire righting practices is used for what is known as a "forceable entry tool" and the main reason for the need of this tool will be explained in the following para- graphs. Ventilation, in terms of the fire service, may be defined as the removal from a building of air fouled with smoke, gases and heat, by providing a means of escape, and the controlled re- placement with fresh air, for the purpose of making the building livable and preventing the further spread of fire. So long as a fire has fuel and air it will burn freely and will. consume all combutible materials within its ignition -range. If, how- ever,- a fire cannot burn freely a different situation presents it- self and the longer it burns the more complicated the situation becomes. It is this situation that requires ventilation procedures. To burn freely and to complete com'-ustion, a fire -requires oxygen in proportion to the fuel elements contained in the burning material. This supply of oxygen is obtain- ed from the surrounding air and the fire will continue to burn freely so long as the oxygen is adequate. As the fire burns, two things are happening to the surrounding air; first its supply of oxygen is being exhausted, and second, it is being replaced with gases pro- duced by combustion and if we examine the products of combus- tion of a smoldering fire we find that most commonly found com- bustible material is made up of ,carbon, hydrogen, sulphur. So long as sufficient supply of oxygen is available and the prop er burning temperature is main- taine•d, the carbon burns to car- bon monoxide, the hydrogen to water vapor and the sulphur to sulphur dioxide. These gases heat- ed to the temperature of combus- tion pass off into and mingle with the air that is providing the oxygen. 'Seldom, however, does COAMPLETE combustion occur. No -,.v, let us follow a fire thru and Cee what :happens. If the fire burns freely and the heated gases of combustion can get away all well and good, BUT if the fire be ir- an enclosed space such as a bedroom (where a fire has start- ed fro ma cigarette of a person smokjng in bed), and the oxygen in tl.e air is used out and replac- ed with gases of combustion, the fire slows down and smolders. As it slows down the carbon mon- oxide increases creating an atmos- phere, which if it reaches 1/2 of 1%, will kill a person. Furthermore, as the oxygen supply decreases and combustion is retarded, the hydrogen frac- tions of the fuel distill out'and burn, leaving the heavier carbon fractions to go off with the hot gases. This is your dense smoke. In allition to this free carbon (smoke) much undistilled fuel in the form of tiny tar balloons are freed to joint the mass of smoke and make it denser and thicker. When the above conditions exist to house or 'building�is said to be on fire -however -no one knows where the fire is ,so now comes the firemen with the ax to try r Call Livonia 3576 and find out, by ventilating the building to feed the hidden fire so -.the fire_ itself will present Jt - self visibly for the purpose of extinguishment and also so the building or room canbe cleared of -poisonous- gases and smoke for re -occupancy. Usually when 'a fire -department responds to a fire of this kind the men find the building locked at all points such as window, doors and skylights and an axe can be.placed under neath a window and raised sharp- ly to loosen the screws holding the lock or the doorjam can we pryed back sufficiently to allow the door to be opened. If you will notice closely, _when at the scene of a fire, that_ a fireman will try the above methods BEFORE he breaks a glass in a window or starts chopping at the door jam or roof. His purpose for trying the easy way first is that it destroys less property together with a selfish motive he has which is, he is not looking for a lot of hard work. And neither would you. The above explaination, we hope, has biven you a clear explanation as to 'why you see your fireman with that traditional ax that you no doubt thought he was just itching to use to chop down your expensive -slab door or your 'nice new shingled roof or your very expensive Curtis windows, As you now know, such was not the case. He was just starting off on a good job of ven- tilation in the best interest of your probable property damage and his personal protection before entering the house to .protect your personal belongings or members of your family.

A victorious team left for the showers last Friday even- ing as the Plymouth varsity bas- ketball squad won their first game of the season. Their op- ponents, Wayne, were badly beaten by a score of 36-14. It was an exciting game from start to finish, although one Wayne play- er was injured. "After the game the student council sponsored a "Dime Dance" as they called it, but the admis- sion was twelve cents. They danc- ed to the music of recordings on the jute box. The second team also played a basketball 1 game with the Wayne second team Friday night. It was basketball game with the Wayne won 21-26. The juniors gave a play in the high school auditorium last Thursday and Wednesday even- ing called "Swing Fever." There was some good acting and direct- ing a sthe play was a hit.

E. Rice and Son, Twin Gables and Pen Mar were throw- ing everything into every frame for first place. Twin Gables and J. E. Dice were paired and Twin Gables took the first two games. In the ninth frame of the third game, Rices were two marks up. When Father Hardy picked up 28 pins in the tenth frame and Rice drew a 4-7- 10 pin split is had all the appear- ances of a win for Twin Gables, which would give them undisput- ed first place. However, Rice converted the split to a spare. Bowen the anchor man drew the 8-10 split and Mike Byrnes went all the way and Rice and Son won by 16 pins. Pen Mar, who were also tied for first place, won the first game from Bud's Market, but lost the second. The hope for a possible tie for first place rode on that all all important third game and to- tal pins. Peter Koontz with his very potent 225 game assisted by McGrath's 199, Su-dol's 181, Doty's 168 and Sumara's 158 for 953 not only won the third game, but it gave them second high team single and their total of 2641 is good for second high team series.

UNKNOWN FACILITIES It seems the students of Liv- onia Center are awaking to the fact that they have more shop and home economic facilities than they reallv think. Many students were amazed when they saw they Haire. Look what Mrs. Burke's home economics girls have done. Last Saturday a few girls donned blue jeans and their brother's flannel shorts and took a paint brush in hand to give the home room a beauty treatment. In addition the room has been equipped with about eight Singer sewing machines. Four, are foot operated and four are electric. These rooms are a great improve- ment over last years. Mr. Burke's shop class has been extending the shelf and cabinet space of the school. The .boys made two shelves for teachers. They also made some cabunets and refinished tables for use in class. Unknown to many people in Livonia Center is the fact that a Zelyth short wave radio has been Purchased for the shop. This radio is of the type used in small tanks. Use of this radio cannot be had because it operated on D.C. and the school supply is alternating current. When D. C. is available and an aerial up we will have the use of this set.
