Competition is again at the
melting point among the leading
teams of the L.R.C. Last week
teams in lead position were de-
nately spaced Thursday's scores
tied things up again. We have now
ties, for first second and third
places.

Highlights and results of Thurs-
day's games:
The Hot Shots played the De-
mons. Mr. Peter Herrmann and
his team were smiling and ask-
ing the Demons to pardon them
every time they made a strike.
But they took three ,points. Again
we repeat, watch that man Herr-
mann and his Hot team. They are
at the top and intend to stay
there. High scorers for the De-
mons: Ted Phelps 162, Miss Judy
Miller 152. No report on Hot Shot
scores. We presume that this is
also strategy.
The Tailspinners played the
Rockets. For the second week the
strong Tailspinners have taken
a trimming. For, the Rockets took
three points. Better luck next
week Mr. Galesone—you must
win to stay on top.
High scorers for the Rockets:
Mr. Buchanen 177, Miss E. John-
son 136.
Ten High and the Mules met.
The Mules are 'beginning to get
over their slump, Thursday they
were in great form—unfortunate-
ly for the Ten High group. Mules
took three points.
High scorers for the Mules: Joe
Bernier 203, Mrs. B. Bryce 138.
ICE CREAM,

High scorers for the Ten High:
Mr. Kennedy 171, Mrs. Jean Page

The Dragons played the Strik-
ers. The Strikers had not their
usual zip and the Dragons took
full advantage of the situation.
Dragons took all four points.
High: scorers for the Dragons:
Mr. Solay 180, Betty Morgan 146.
High scorers for the Strikers:
Mr. Priebe 166, Mrs. L. Galeone

The Handicappers _ulayed the
Dead Shots. The Dead Shots made
determined bids to break the
jinx that is keeping them in last
-31ace, but they couldn't put their
high scores in the right place. The
Handicappers took three points.
High scorers for the Handicap-
pers: Mr. Miller I65, Mrs. Ken-

Weinberg Petition
Denied By Zoning
Board Thursday
(Continued from page 1)
classification on the north side
of Five Mile road from Deering
east to Greenlane from R -1-C to
a C-1 or commercial district was
tabled.
Mr. Weinberg's case goes back
to February 4, 1846 at which
time he petition the Zoning
Bcard of Appeals at their first
meeting for permission to build
a shelter to house horses and
equipment. Because of the fact
this type of business is non
conforming the reques" was
denied.
On March 7, 1947, Mr. Wein-
berg submitted his second peti-
tion to replace the walls of the
present building, 31x64, with con-
crete block. Permission was grant-
ed on submission of a plan of the
existing building. However, Mr.
Weinberg never turned in the
plans to the Building Inspector.
On September 5, 1945, John A.
Allen, attorney for Syd Weinberg
petitioned the Board to keep a
barn which was moved and at-
tached to the alrealy existing
shelter. The moving was made
without a permit and this infrac-
tion cost Mr. Weinberg $25.00 He
claimed ignorance of the necessity
of securing a permit. The case
was put over for one month.
At the October 3 meeting
the Appeal Board ordered
Hie -upholster
1
Call us with confidence
for reliable, smart,
re -upholstering.
Weinberg to tear the barn down
within sixty days. When the
Township Board met in Dec-
mber, another petition was pre-
sented to them by Weinberg to
change the classification to an
M-2. This is the one that caus-
ed all the furror in Livonia.
Since the last .petition was
received, Mr. Allen secured a
Writ of Mandamus against the
Township Board, the Building
Inspector and the Zoning Board
of Appeals. The ;first hearing in
the Circuit Court was held last
Friday ,and was consequently
postponed until Feb. 28 at the
request of the plaintif. -
Following the public hearing,
members of the civic organiza-
tions in Livonia were invited by
the Board to discuss the latest
development of Zoning dilfficul-
ties in the Township. Residents
in Alden Village are up in arms
against the, Newman Farms De-
velopment company who was
issued a permit to build a 24x20
frame house with a 16x10 utility
room attached on the rear of
the house. They feel in that
most of the homes in this area
are of "B" classification, 800
square feet of liveable floor
space, homes of this kind would.
prove deterimental and lower
the values of their property:
According to the Building in-
specior, Newmans intend to
build seventeen of this type
home.
The Alden Village Association,
according to their representative
at the meeting, is in favor of gett-
ing out an injunction to prevent
Newman from building. Action
however, will undoubtedly not
be ' taken until after the next
meeting of the Livonia Taxpayers
Association meeting scheduled
for February 12 at which time
members of all the civic organiza-
tions are urged to meet with this
group in order to figure out some
means to fight this development
and the possibility of hiring an
attorney.
It was pointed out that utility
rooms are considered liveable
floor space. The Alden Village
Association will meet at the Stark
School Sunday, February 9 at
2 p.m.

intensive recruiting campaign
during winter and early spring
months. Because of rapid dis-
charge 'of veterans, the Coast

during the recruiting drive_ Non -
veterans between 17 and 25 may

rnake direct application at the
-Coast Guard Base, 3750 East Jef-
ferson avenue.
Non -veterans enlisted in the
Coast Guard -during the drive will
be skipped over the "apprentice
seaman" rate immediately upon
enlisting, and will be given rate
and pay of "Seaman Second
Class". A guarantee of automatic
promotion to "Seaman First
Class" (equivalent to Army cor-
poral) after 90 days in the service
is also offered.
The service is training most
new recruits in Electronics and
Radar. Duties will vary; weather
patrol in the North Atlantic, aids
to navigation and ice -breaking on
the Great Lakes, lifeboat station
duty along the seaboards and the
Lakes, general or technical duties
aboard sleek Coast Guard cutters
at sea, air-sea rescue are just a
Dart of the many assignments
available.
Coast Guard service is equiva-
lent to military service in any of
the armed forces, and members
are tendered the same educa-
tional, insurance, medical, and
retirement benefits.
Veterans of previous ser,,-- in
the armed forces are urged to
investigate opportunities of en-
listing in the Coast Guard. Sev-
eral categories of advanced rat-
ings are now open to ex -service-
men.

After Thirty Years
Mrs. Genota Provagna, mother
of Tony Provagna of 31339 Hen-
nepin, Garden City arrived in
Chicago by air from Rome on Fri -
Jay, January 24.
Her home is in northern Italy

flow Didt tart?
Last year this country burned
un FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS worth of property .. .
as the months went by in 1946
thru the month of June we had
gotten up to THREE HUNDRED
_JIILLON. The damage to homes
alone ran up to TWENTY MIL-
LION and 15 persons were killed
every* day, one third of them
children. ,Vith the shortage of
homes and building material in
these timesandwith the fear for
children of polio and other ter-
riole children's diseases, we, as
a people, sit back and let FIRE
rob us of our possessions and
lo�,�e ones without giving mach
evidence of a care in this direc-
tion. If we DID care the fire losses
and fatalities would be on the
decrease instead of an increase.
Most of our homes have many
electrical appliances in them and
If we used them properly we
couid prevent 9 out of 10 of our
annual 70;000 fires from these
causes and save about FORTY
MILLION DOLLARS. There were
enough careless housewives last
year in this country that left elec-
tric irons connected that started
:gyres that caused a loss of ONE
AND THREE QUARTER MIL-
LION DOLLARS.
A thrifty housewife in one of
our eastern states had a fine idea
e cut down on her clothes clean -
ng budget. Instead of sending her
husband's clothes to the dry
cleaners she put them in her new
,washing machine and filled it up
with gasoline and turned on the
switch . that was the end of
the budget ... it blew the house
off of the lot and they are still
looking for the washing machine
and the clothes.
The greatest fire hazard in or
Ross and Rehner `
around the home is matches and
smoking. Together they cause
over 30 percent of our fires.
Of all crimes, there is none
lower than the one caused by a
person who deliberatly sets a
building on fire. Some do it for
profit, some from a fit of anger
and some because they are men -
results from a fire of this nature
the person starting the fire can be
tried for MURDER. However 99
percent of our fires are started by
just "folks" ... against them the
law is. helpless ... the fires they
start are called "accidents" but
to the survivors such a fine dis-
tinction is of small comfort.

Reaches new High
Enrollment at Michigan State
college for the •current term,
which opened on January 6, is
13,419, Robert S. !Linton, college
registrar, has announced. This
figure exceeds the former record
for a single term enrollment of
1',280, established last fall.
Of the total enrollment, 5,605
students are living in college -
operated housing, :Starr Keesler,
college housing director, reports. '
This includes 4,106 men and 1,499
women. All existing college hous-
ing is .being used to capacity dur-
ing the winter term.
It is hoped that other construc-
tion now in progress will be com-
pleted to accomodate more stu-
dents by the opening of spring
term late in March. Some of the
new dormitories may be reaftiy
early in February. Snyder hall,
new men's dormitory, probably
will be occupied. first. Phillips
hall, also for men, is expected to
be ready soon thereafter. The
tv, o too together will house 1,320
men.
First women's dormitory to be
ready will be Landon hall, which
will house 47.0 women students.
It is not expected that the build-
ing will be ready before spring
term opens. Yakeley and Gilchrist
halls, also for women, probably
will not be ready for use before
fall.

Hi kids! Plymouth High took
another basketball game last Fri-
day evening with Wayne at
Wayne High ;School. In the first
quarter it looked pretty bad for
the Rocks but after, that, Ply-
mouth began to .get hot. Plym-
outh's cagers - made a good show-
ing in the . game which ended up
with a total of P.H.S. 50, W.H.S-
oo.
The dance floor seemed prettty
empty last Friday night until
after the game; then it began to
fill up. Fank Sante, the orchestra
leader, gave a toast to Bob News -
ted who left Plymouth the next
day to join a major league base-
ball team. Bob was . quite well-
known at P.H.S. being mayor once
and an all around athlete.
Another holiday is rolling
around, Valentines Day. But to
the students it will just be . an-
other day, for we all have to go
to school.
The saying "Kilroy Was :Here"
has sort of gone out of fashion
lately. This replaces it: "Open
The Door Richard!" What won't
they think of next?
The Plymouth High School
Sports staff of the school paper
was more or less in a turomoil
last week as they were told to
put in a girls' picture for "Athlete
of The 'Week." They di•d'nt like
the idea so well; but they figured
out a :plan that made everyone
happy all around.
Some of our scholastic artists
have had the honor of putting
their masterpieces in the window
LIVONIAN
of the Taylor and Blyton store on
Main street in ,Plymouth. The
display was up all last week and
part of this. There seems to be
a humorous side to everything
though. Mrs. F. Overton, the art
teacher now teaching at Plymouth
High, and a few of the boys, car-
ried the eight foot pieces of card-
board on which the pictures were
mounted to Taylor and Blyton's
store. When they reached the
store, the upstairs was 'being
painted so they had to put them
in the basement for the time be -
But did you ever try to put
eight foot mounts in a room six
feet high? Well they did! After
a struggle they finally got them
in, even if they were a bit crook-
ed!
People didn't know where they
were going, last week because
either their schedules were .changes
ed or there was a new teacher
in their class. Everyone's gotten
pretty well straightened out now
though and have settled down in
the new semester. Me too!

During the Christmas season,
Brownies from Stark School
dressed about a dozen dolls and
prepared a play "The Three
Christmas Trees."
The dolls were given by the
group to the smaller girls: at the
Methodist Children's Home and
were :greatly appreciated by the
children there. The Brownies gave
their play for the children at the
Home and were later taken
through the Home and school at
the village.
The play "The Three Christ-
mas Trees" was also ,given for
the Women's Auxiliary of the
Newburg Methodist Church and
also at the Christmas entertain-
ment given -by the church. This
is a very active Brownie group
and their leader is to be con-
gratulated on the fine showing
these girls are making.
Nearly one third of the books
read by Plymouth children during
1946 were instructive, ac-wrding
to the records kept at the Plym-

books about animals, and how -to-

Michian State Renews
Service to High Schools
Transfer of John S. Pingel from
the department of physical educa-
tion to the office of S. E. Crowe,
dean of students, where he will
The an administrative assistant,
is a major development in the
plans of :Michigan State college
to revive its pre-war program of
service to the high schools of
Michigan.
Pingel will visit the high
schools of the state to confer with
administrators on M.S.C. admis-
sion standards, courses and facili-
ties, and to offer assistance to
students in choosing their voca-
tions.
The college carried on an ex-
tensive program of assistance to
the high schools of Michigan and
neighboring states before the war
under the direction of the secre-
tary of the State Board of Agricul-
ture. Pingel was employed in this
work .while he was a student at
Michigan State college, and John
A. Hannah, now president of the
institution, was secretary.
Following his return from
service with the army in 1945,
Pingel was appointed as the first
veterans' counselor at Michigan
State under the direction of Tom
King, counselor for men. He has
had additional experience in per-
sonnel and guidance work both
in the army and in private in-
dustrv.
"I hope I can be of consider-
able assistance to the high schools
of Michigan and their administra-
tors in interpreting the policies
and objectives of Michigan State",
Pingel said. "I'm looking forward
to talking with Atudents par-
ticularly; I'm sure I can help a
lot of them get off to a good start
in college in the right fields of
work."
There were 12,968 books loaned
from the Plymouth -branch library -
during 1946 to adults for infor-
mational and serious readin. The
library collection of this type
of book, 3,134 volumes, averaged
four reading each, or a 400 per
cent turn -over.
