NEWBURG SCHOOL NEWS The Safety Patrol boys of our school are going to make a set of safety rules that are to be post- ed throughout the township. This is to be •done because the students of our school as well as students of the other schools in the town- ship have not followed the safety regulations while on the buses. These will remind the students of the different schools every time they do something they are not supposed to do. The rules will help prevent accidents on the bus. The Service Squad girls of our school held their election Febur- ary the twelfth electing Hilda Berndroth captain and June Szokola and Mary LouPassmore as lieutanents. Refreshments of cookies, candy and milk were en- joyed at the same time. A Valentine .party was held at the school Feb. 14 from two until three o'clock.

No one seemed to be without a friend. The dramatics club gave a play for the P.T.A. Tuesday evening, Feb. 18 in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the Parent Teach- er Association.

Mr. Wilson's owns the southeast corner of Mid- dlebelt and West Chicago.

If an agent was not appointed in Livonia, it would be necessary for persons who want a permit to go down to the iCounty Building in order to secure this permit. The Board feeling that this regula- tion would put a hardship on the people decided to appoint their own agent and as the result made the appointment of Mr. Mason, which is effective immediately. a_* If you havo any items of ;:ter - est abount your family or friends please call 16.

These two places can be considered the high points of activity in Livonia Township School District at the present time. The Kindergarten got its start last spring when the mothers of the Pierson Kindergarten pupils held a tea with the idea in mind .z to improve the looks of the room. In June just prior to the closing of schools, the Mothers Club presented a picture, "Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy" to Miss Pauline Isham, the teacher. This was the start of some constructive work under the leadership of Mrs. Helen Rickert, president and Mrs. William Bell, secretary and treasurer. In the Fall, Mrs. Homer Coolman was appointed chairman to carry out their plans. Crocheted chair sets were made by the various members. These were sold and $30.00 was raised. Donations were made at each meeting and enough money collected to pay for all the paint„ drapes and rods. -William Bell did all the painting of -furniture and the murals on the two walls. Doctor L. Hotchkiss furnished an aquarium and the tropical fish and his son Brian feeds the fish each day. The play house was donated by several members of the organi- zation and Al Rhode, on his own time, put in the shelves .During the school year ironing- boards, play irons, band* box, trucks, toys, a swing, a victrola, teeter-totter and r3Rny other items have been given to the room. In actual money, about $70:00 was spent, but the beauty of the room has been enhanced one hundred fold by many parents and folks in the Pierson area who have contributed their bit to this beautiful class room. Livonia Center Cafeteria While the Kindergarten at Pierson progresses, over at Livonia, the Cafeteria is gradually taking shape and before long the facilities for serving hot lunches at the Junior High will be available to the students. A great part of the work was done by the following men work- ing during their spare time: William Bates, Chairman of the P.T.A. _ Hot Lunch Program, Mr. Bates is a bus driver in Detroit; Lawrence ' Lars: n, a milk salesman; T,Jax Schumacher, a welder; Clyde Rick- ert, President of the P.T.A. and a service salesman for a steel company. Others who have given considerable of their time. Otto Kipper and son Otto; cabinet makers; Robert Poole, a carpenter; Cullen Moncreiff, a salesman; Edward M. Johnson, a bricklayer; Gus Bras - galla, a contractor; Ronald Meneghel; a Detroit High School Student' and a nephew of Mr. Rickert. Others who should be given credit are: Andrew Safko, John Bluth, Allen McCain, Burt French, Carl Holth, Otto Setter and son, Duncan Burke, W. B. Oja, Barton Rogers, William Barlow, Harvey Wagenschutz and Mr. Nymann. However, it has not been entirely a man's job for a great num- ber of thewomenhave been working raising funds to pay for the lumber and .building materials. Mrs. William Bates, heading the dance committee, has been instrumental in promoting two very- suc- cessful dances from which most of the money has come. And now a group of mothers who have children in the Wilcox Kindergarten, and who wish to remain anonymous, are raising funds through bake sales, dances and so forth in order to put this room or, a par with Pierson's. They too will have a part of themselves at Wilcox; which in the long run will mean more than if the monies were donated by canvassing. It has been said that you can't pour happiness on anyone else without spiiling_a little on yourself. '– It is not necessary to look 'long forwork of this type to do. There is a lot of it if we but open our eyes and when the High Sheol is completed there will be much m.ore.Many have contributed their time and effort, many are doing so now.

Continuous scientific progress to im- prove telephone communication began with him and has continued ever since. It is carried on today by the six thou- sand` men and women of the Berl Telephone Laboratories. Dr. -Bell's thoughts on work' -and research were given to a number of young people in a graduation address. "Don't keep going only where .others have gone. Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. You will be certain to find something that you have never seen before. "Follow it up, explore all around it; one discovery will lead to another and before you know it you will have some- thing worth thinking about." That has been the policy of the telephone business from the begin- ning. It underlies the progress that has been made and the progress that is to come. FIRST SENTENCE EVER SPOKEN OVER THE TELEPHONE (on March 10, 1876) was, "Mr. Watson, come here. I want you." It happened when Alexander Graham Bell spilled some battery solution on his clothes and called out for assistance. Thomas A. Watson, his assistant, came rushing in from another room and exclaimed—"Mr. Bell, I heard every word you said -distinctly." +eEtiTEIEry„NFr e„rr 4 MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY HEAR THE BELL CENTENNIAL BROADCAST.

Charles Brake, president of the Wayne Out County Chapter of Crippled Children and Adults, in- troduced the various Rotary Club members, teachers and persons connected in some way or an- other with crippled children work. Miss Shover, of Chicago, was introduced by Percy Angove, Ex- ecutive Secretary of the Michigan Society. She told of the work for spastic children which has just come to the front in the past 15 years. Miss Shover stated, "That 70 per cent of these children are treatable and educable although there are cases on record where these children were put in instiu- tions for the insane." Continuing she told of the formation last Spring of a division especially for Cerebal Palsied Children which at that time was the great- est unmet need confronting the Society. She said, "We want to educate them and prepare these children so they can be employable and accepted into society. Those are their two greatest needs and desires." A film, " The Rehabilitation of the Cerebral Palsied Chid" was shown which showed how the children were screened and stu- died in order to determine just what might be done for them. Following the film, the Report of the Treasurer, Russell Amer- man, and the report of the secre- tary, Mrs, Hernia Taylor, were given. Ali election of officers for the coming year concluded an interesting program. A delicious chicken dinner was served by the women of the church. Elm P.T.A. To .

The evening ended with group singing led by Margaret Laine. The songs chosen were appropri- ate to the occasion, each having a touch of the sentiment, in honor of Saint Vjalentine.
