Bread Strike On in Some of The Stores Protesting current wholesale bread prices, a number of the merchants in Livonia township refused to accept bread deliveries during the past week and offered only that which they had on hand for sale Detroit stores were not affected by the boycott. The merchants and all members of the Michigan Retail Grocers and Meat Dealers Association are asking for a reduction of one cent per loaf from the present whole- sale price of •12 cents. Twelve cent loafs sell for 14 cents, which is a price fixed and marked on the wrappers by the various bakers. This two cent margin leaves no profit according to the grocers. Many of the Township mer- chants continued to market the bread, however, some joined in the strike. Other than the chain stores, all the merchants in Plym- outh were backing the strike one hundred percent. In Livonia, only about one-fourth of the stores were backing the plan. The strike covers noveltry breads, rolls, ,cakes and standard loaves.

Bell Installs New Type Cable DETROIT, Jan. 22—A new type of underground telephone cable to help serve rural subscribers in Michigan Bell Telephone Com- pany territory is now being in- stalled in some sections of the state. Theodore H. Dawson, head of the same as it was for 1946—to provide service for 20',OCO new subscribers now living in rural areas," Dawson said. Michigan Bell went "over the top" last year by installing 4,00J more tele- phones than it originally. set its sights for. Michigan Bell plans to put up over 9X'00 miles of telephone wire this year to serve those on the waiting list and in so far as possible continue its program of reducing the number of parties per line to eight or fewer. During the past year, the num- ber of parties on 2,850 rural lines was reduced to eight or fewer. Dawson said that Michigan Bell now serves 107;000 rural sub- scribers, double the number ser- ved in 1941. The new -type underground cable :now being installed for the first time in Michigan was de- veloped by the Bell Telephone Laboratories especially for rural. construction. It is lightning proof and withstands other severe weather conditions. The life of the cable is increas- ed by use of two types of synthe- tic rubber insulation and a mesh of woven steel wires. Nearly 20 million yards of piece goods, includingg .percale, flannel, melton cloth, netting, sheeting and poplin are bring cur- rently offered for sale by War Assets Administration. 2'W Where Meals are Tempting and the Bills Delightful.

New construction is being built with an eye on "Old Man Winter." While vacationers like to en- voy the cold and snow outside, they also like the warmth and comfort of a well -insulated struc- ture at the end of the day. A drafty building with an under- sized heating unti can spoil an otherwise perfect day. C. A. Gunn, extension agricul- tural. engineer with the tourist and resort service of Michigan State College, has some timely tsps that will add comfort to your customer's wintertime vacation. First, heat losses through cracks can be eliminated by the instal- lation of weather-stripping around is ! Everywhere in Eastern Michigan people are learn- ing. that Sebewaing Beer simply can't be beat. Choicest Thumb of Michi- gan grains, honestly brewed with,sparkling Thumb of Michigan spring water, do produce a beer absolutely second to none. So you'll say too! K. s Schurletwm DISTRIBUTOR 110 Ann Arbor Rd - Phone 506 Ask for Sebewaing Beer at your favorite beer snore or bar :.:i _6 all' ­icl c•yciiuiSJ W,wl a painter's caulking compound will also reduce losses at these points. Second, reduce the heat loss through the roof walls, and floors with insuldtion. This can be done with either insulation board or the batt or fill type insulation material between studs or joists. The last ,point of heat loss, win- dow glass, can be reduced by the installation of storm sash and storm -doors. If these suggestions are carried out, it will permit the use of a smaller heating plant and still give greater comfort. Several - types and capacities of space heat- ing equipment can be purchased. The final choice depends upon the size of building to be heated and the relative cost and availability of the various kinds of fuels. Space heaters that are placed within a room are easiest to in- stall. The addition of a fireplace, containing a heat circulating unit, not only adds heat to the room, but becomes an attractive in- terior and exterior feature. All heat equipment using gaseous, liquid, or solid fuels should be connected to a chimney by a stovepipe- of adequate size and durability. , .The small additional cost of these procedures is easily justified through greater .comfort for vaca- tioners and tourists. They also mean accommodations that would otherwise be unavailable. The owner also realizes greater in- come through more use of his facilities. The Recreation Committee of the Rosedale Gardens has been formed to promote and control clean, honest sports for this com- munity through the efforts of William T. (Bill) Lloyd its presi- dent. The ice rink and hockey league is under way. A sanction has been granted Bill from the Amateur Hockey Association of the United States through Mr. Fred Huber Directors of the A.H.S.U.S. for this district. There will be seven teams in this league known as the Southern Miheigan League. Teams from Rosedale Gardens, Berkely, Farmington, Wayne, Redford and two from Detroit. Let us take a look at hockey games Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday evenings from 7:00 to 10a00 p.m. Many other events are planned by the committee. It is hoped that your suggestions and criticisms will help make for more competi- tion and better sports.

She is to teach in the Junior High School. Stressing Importance Of Fire Protection In most communities the need of fire protection or possibly in- creased fire protection is based upon the present •difficulty in re- placing burned property. Due to shortage of structural materials, increased valuations have raised the stake the average citizen may have in a potential fire. Many fire departments can point to large losses that might have been minimized had their former pleas for adequate or additional equip- ment been heeded. Most important of all, the chief reason for good fire protection is to safeguard human life against destruction by uncontrolled fire. With this foremost in mind, there should be few persons willing to gamble one of two mils increase in taxes against the judgement of the local fire department as to what constitutes adequate fire protection for the community. Who can balance the cost of necessary fire protection and fa- cilities against the value of a SINGLE human life ?? Big Yield — Wrong Contest Jerome DeBaker, Rock, Mar- quette County, entered the cer- tified seed potato growing contest this year and he did all right. He grew nearly 494 bushels per acre on his plot. Nevertheless, he wishes he had entered the table - stock contest. His .production of 730 bushels per acre of tablestock potatoes tops the winner of the tablestock contest but that doesn't help a bit. Because he entered the cer- tified seed contest, he wasn't eligible for competition in table - stock growing. Let's hope that next year he guesses right on the contest he should enter. In Hollywood, Mrs. Ethel Wadl- er, 37; learned that she had he - come the grandmother of a 7 -lb. girl, several hours later also be- came the mother of a 7 -lb. girl. At Penn Theatre Harry Lush, Plymouth's theatre owner, will again this year great- ly aid the March of Dimes cam- paign. He'll do so in a very novel manner. Mr. Lush has notified Miss Neva Lovewell, chairman of the cam- paign in Plymouth, that the Penn theatre will be given over to an area -wide special March of Dimes show on Wednesday, January 29. On that evening Mr. Lush will offer a special film at 'both 7 and 9 p.m. The general public of Plym- outh and its environs are urged to attend. They'll find there is no set admission ,price that night. Instead, Mr. Lush is putting the question of admission squarely up to every individual who attends. He says simply. "Let each and every person come and see the show and pay whatever they wish." Now that is a most generous offer when one stops to realize that Mr. Lush must pay regular prices for the film to be shown and the expenses connected with showing it. it becomes more gen- erous when he reports that every last cent paid by the movie-goers that night wiil go to. the March of Dimes. He'll stand the expenses out of his own pocket. Mr. Lush urges everyone to attend and see a good show while aiding the local drive to obtain funds for polio victims and their hospitalization. Persons tempted to take advan- tage of the generous offer and see the show for nothing or less than the regular admission price are reminded that good health is something one can't buy. Failure to give more than the regular admission charge will not place any stigma on the individu- al.

Certainly he is doing much more than is required, so let's all pitch in and give more than we might under ordinary circums- • tances.

Margaret Laskowski How'd 11 Star Trailer Company Destroyed by Fire Fire, which was thought to have started from overheated heating equipment, destroyed the trailer manufacturing business of Floyd Golden. The plant is located near the corner of Deering and Pembroke aves. The fire starting at 4:60 a.m. on Wednesday, January 15, required the work of both the Livonia Fire Department as well as men and two pumpers of the Redford Fire Depatment it was 7:00 a.m. before the fire was com- pletely under control and salvage operations gotten under way. Both . departments are to be complemented on their work in saving the four homes immedia- tely adjoining the plant on all four sides. The amount of damage was considerable but at the time of going to press the approximate amount was not determined. One of the Livonia firemen was slightly injured in responding to the call due to slipping on the ice, straining his shoulder. All operations were hampered to a great extent by tine lack of hydrant facilities and water had to be carried by one of the trucks for a distance cf ovpr six blc'cks in order to combat the blaze. Valuable machinery and one complete trailer were destroyed but is was ,possibl_- to couple on to, and remove, one; newly com- pleted trailer. The plant was. owned by Floyd Garden. Damage to building was cover- ed by insurances. Damage to contents was not covered by. insurances.

Scout Program Outdoor activities have always had a major place in the Girl . Scout :program; girls of all ages are eager for the fun and ad- ventures to be found in the out- door, whether it is on a nature exploration, a camp -out, or a walking trip with an experienced group. Because of this appeal every troop program contains some phase of out-of-door activi- ty, no matter what season of the year. Girl Scout Leaders have long recognized the value of outdoor activities in the .general develop- ment of girls. Those who place great value on outdoor living -know that the advantages are better realized in extended stays in the open. Camping has become the means of extending outdoor troop programs in town to longer per ods of living outdoors, where groups of girls may learn to live happily together, to live simply, to know and appreciate the valvae of this activity. Girl Scout Camping Objectives Because the Girl Scout Organ- ization believes so firmly that a camping and outdoor program adds much to the development of girls, it has formulated goals that guide it in its camping plans. These objectives, carried on thru local unites, such as Livonia Girl Scout Council, are as follows: (1) To stimulate real enjoyment and appreciation of the out-of- doors thru progressively adven- turous experiences. (2) To provide training in cit- izenship thru the give and take of community living in which each girl has a part in planning Beer - Liquor - Wine ED. PALISZEWSKI, Prop. Dancing Saturdays to the "Knights of Rhythm" 31022 Ann Arbor Trail Near Merriman Road Ross and Reh-ner ALM ANA%O I taas never less aloin d&wa when by pru:gram wiLit tyre neip Ui auuiL leaders. (3) To contribute to the physic- al and mental well being of every Girl Scout Camper. In order to accomplish these objectives each local group uses these guides. (A) To provide camping oppor- tunities for as many girls as pos- sible. (B) To choose for each camp site an outdoor setting that is helpful, safe and rich in natural beauty. (C) To setup the camp in such a way, that however large the total number of campers, each girl may be a part of a small living :group or unit. (D) To provide a staff of quali- fied adults to conduct these ac- tivities. As a means of making camping available to many girls, the or- ganizatton has developed- several types of camps; established camps where girls from many troops gather for one or two weeks under a resident staff; troop camps, for individual troops and leaders for weekends or longer periods; and day camps, where girls from many troops camp by the day on a near- bv site, under a special staff. For the coming year, the Livonia Girl Scout • Council, will concen- trate on day camping activities, as it is possible to reach a larger percentage of the girls in this manner. These camps are conduc- ted on sites that will present op- portunities for outdoor activities nea rthe homes of the Campers, or within easy transportation facili- ties. These camps provide the first camping experience for many girls, this is especially true of Brownie Scouts, who may .best begin their outdoor living in day camps. Plans are underway now for several of such camps during the coming spring and summer months. How°d It Start? Richard Blanck Home Burns Fire, that was started from an overheating system partially des- troyed the rear of the home of Mr. Richard Black, 15000 Santa Anita ave., at 9:45 a.m. Monday morning, Jan. 13. The fire started in: the utility room and had gained considerable headway before the arrival of' the Livonia Fire Dept. There was no hydrant in the immediate vicinity and the department did remark- able work in confining the fire to the area involved with the 300 gallons , of water carried on the truck in the booster tank. The damage was approximately $1,50.00 to the house and the same amount to the contents. It was said that both items were covered by insurance. myself.

The latter plan was considered best by the Club. In that the Board of Education is confronted with many pro- biems; class size, maintenance, equipment, good school plant, it was pointed out by the Board that all must be taken into considera- tion. A resolution was passed how- ever, which would grant the teachers 70 percent of that por- tion of the Sales Tax (the 1/6 clause) to be pro -rated on a monthly basis from September, 1946, ;provided that the said: teach- er is in the employment of the District after January 2, 1947 and until the, end of the school year. Also that said payment from the state shall not in any way de- crease the present estimated state aid receipts for the year and if and when the this Diversion money is paid to the district.
