Defective Wiring Quiets Loudspeaker Slight damage was caused by defective wiring in a loud speak- er placed in the basement ceiling of the home of William McLel- lan, 19130 Westmore street, Liv- onia Township, Tuesday after- noon. Mrs. McLellan detected smoke in the house and went to the attic to investigate and found smoke coming up from the base- ment through a concealed space around the vent that runs from the basement to the roof. She immediately traced the fire to the basement, shut all the doors, called the Fire Depart- ment, and then tried to put out the fire. Mrs. McLellan should be complemented for the efficient and calm manner in which she handled the situation. It was not known if the small damage was covered by insurance.

MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY Page 6 "OUTDOORS" LIVONIAN Two secientific workers owe their lives to a conservation de- partment order requiring wearing of life 'preservers; Heavy waves on Lake Gogebic in the upper peninsula swamp- ed the small boat in which Clarence Taube and Clarence Flaten, employed by the institute for fisheries research, were checking walleyed pike spawning areas during early morning hours. Members of the research crew another boat dragged Taube and Flaten from the icy water. Taube had floated away from the overtured boat and was in serious condition when rescued. Life preservers have been worn by department fisheries work- ers since 1929 when Dr. Jan Metzelaar drowned while conducting investigations. Cries for help of the drowning men would have gone unnoticed if companions in the other boat had not cut out their outboard motor. Institute workers are debating means of salvaging valuable cameras lost in 50 feet of water when the boat overturned. Even the smallest fin -clipped lake trout caught in Lake Michigan are worth ,2 each to their takers. Conservation officers will arrange payment of rewards to sport trollers or commercial fishermen who catch marked lake trout planted during the last three years. Other states bordering Lake Michigan likewise will pay cash rewards. Fisheries authorities want to know whether it pays to plant hatchery -reared fish. Stink bomb ingredients that will drive foxes, woodchucks and rabbits from their hiding places rather than suffocate them under- ground are being tested at the conservation department's nearby Rose Lake wildlife expermient station. Smoke from burring tow oily rags, forced into burrows and dens by a blower from a blacksmith's force forge, has little apparent Y = effect on. the animals and suggestions of chemists of the Dupont and Dow, companies are being sought. There's still time to get pheasant eggs the conservation depart- ment is giving away. Heavier game farm egg production than was anticipated and delayed deliveries of egg by. commercial hatcheries furnish an addi- tional several thousand eggs for free distribution to sportsmen's groups 4-H clubs and farmers. The department expects to distribute 37,000 eggs this spring for hatching by clubs and individuals. Eggs set by June 15 may produce l some of next fall's game birds. Fox hunters know fox hunting is no cinch—they like the sports, in fact, because it isn't easy—but even hunters with good foxhounds may be surprised to learn that last season's hunts averaged 82 man hours of hunting ncr fox. r Don Switzenberg, fox investigator for the conservation depart- ment's game division, complied the records of 103 organized hunts to reach the 82 man-hour figure. In these sample hunts 255 foxes were jumped, 106 were killed; 55 holed up, 27 wounded and others simply outran the hunters and their dogs. Small parties were proportionately more successful. Parties of two to 10 men averaged one fox per 42 man hours, parties of 11 to 50 averaged one per 92 man hours, and parties of 51 to 200 aver- aged one per 151 man hours. Incidentally shotguns were used on all but one of the hunts, and on 76 hunts shotguns were the only weapon. Dogs were used on 86 hunts, with an average of three dogs per hunt. �Y Most Michigan people are happy the facts are as they are, but one enterprising inquirer probably has been disappointed by a conservation department game division report that Michigan's rattlesnakes are neither numerous nor big enough to have commer- cial value in their skins, meat or venom. " Michigan's only rattler—and only poisonous snake also— is the massasauga, a species that seldom grows more than two and a half to three feet long here. Generally found in swampy and marshy a places, it is not uncommon in a few of the larger marshes of south- ern Michigan. Diamond back rattlesnakes hunted and raised in southern and western states for commercial purposes are of a different genus, and many times larger. Revised lists of state lands "on the market" in the upper pen- insula, including acreagemade available through the auction in April, are now available from the conservation department's lands division in Lansing. The lands lister may be purchased simply by paying the ap- praisal price, with no further "red tape" involved. About 9,000 acres are available in the peninsula's 1'o counties. Lists may be ordered for a single county without cost, but lists for half a dozen counties or more cost 10 cents each. f Buildings on Lake Munuscong which have served successively as a deluxe private hunting camp, state park cabins, state game area headquarters and now are part of a state sorest have a new func- tion this summer: they are the home of Northern Michigan College of Education's "conservation laboratory." The conservation commission has authorized minor repairs to the buildings which will house the Marquette teachers' college wild- life students this summer in a six weeks'. course from June 23 to August 1 and a th-rec-week session August 4 to 22. The lodge will serve as mess hall and classroom; the college is supplying equip- ment and tents. Specialists from the conservation department - and the U.S. soil conservation service will give lectures and conduct discussions. Field trip opportunites are abundant. Teachers and those about g=` to become teachers will learn about soil and water conservation, bird and game animals and forestry. The classes are designed to equip them for the increasing demand in the schools for outdoor instruction in all grades. Violations of sport fishing regulations resulted in arrests of Y 280 individuals in April according to the conservation department. Four commercial fishermen were haled into court for failure to mark locations of rets or wholesaling of fish without license. Twen- ty-one arrests were for infractions of fire laws and assorted- of- fenses ran the month's total of arrests by the department's law enforcement division to 337. Convictions and guilty pleas cost of- fenders $.604 in Fines and costs and ail sentences totaling 66 days were handed down. Hold Election At Clarenceville . (Con' inuea from Pape 1) to fill the unexpired term of Mrs. Helen Hartenstein, who resigned from the Board after being elected last year. Mr. George Teahan has been serving as a trustee, and sought election for the short term. He was opposed by Mr. William Lawrason, who ran as a sticker candidate. Mr. Teahan was elect- ed by a vote of 69 to 42. The annual reports of Secretary A. D. Hedley and reasurer Hu- bert Earle were read at the an- nual meeting, and discussion was held on several of the items. The members of the District voted t® keep the Farmington State Bank as depository for school funds. Considerable discussion was held regarding the length of the school term, and the advisability of having a ten-month term which is most generally in force throughout the State. The matter was left up to the discretion of the School Board. 11 The meeting voted a 50 per cent increase in the salaries of the members of the Board of Educa- tion. In view of the fact that a building program is contemplated very shortly, the Board members will be required to give additional Wednesday, June 18,1947 time to administration of school affairs. At the organization meeting of the School Board held immediate- ly following the annual meeting, Mr. Henry P. Bracken was named president and Hubert Earle and A. D. Hedley were re-elected treasurer and secetary, respec- tively. Harold Hoppe and George Teahan are the two trustees. ,400,000,000 has been invested in Michigan roads and highways in the last two decades.

Mr. Sullivan also stated that, "surveys had been made in the locality and they showed that it would be a losing proposition on Six Mile as well as Five Mile. On Seven you have the Northville Coach line operating and there is not enough business for two lines. "Where the D.S.R. would probably lose money running to Northville, the Northville line can make money because of lower operating costs." In continuing the D.S.R. man- ager requested that the Taxpayers Association send him an official letter stating their request and he then would look into it again and take action on the matter. In the meantime another survey would be made along Five Mile road and possibly a trial of two weeks to a month would be made.

Charles Howell Camp Opens Sunday, June 29 The tenth annual season of summer camping at the Charles Howell Boy Scout Reservation (located near Brighton, Michigan, and operated by the Detroit Area Council, Boy Scouts of America) officially opens Sunday, June 29. The 575 acre camp site which was donated to the Council by Charles N. Howell in 1937, was first open- ed for a full-scale year-round camping, in 1938. Each year since then thousands of Scouts and Leaders have attended the Re- servation for their summer vaca- tion program. There are Iwo plans offered by which Scouts and Leaders may do summer camping on the Re- servation. One is by Troop Camp- ing, in which the home groups use the reservation facilities under their own leadership, prepare their own food, and supervise own program. In this plan the Troops have a choice of using different types of shelters such as, simple screened cabins, tents, 27454 Plymouth Rd. Redford 1049 Sander for Rent Garden Tools Fertilizers adirondack shelters, remodeled farm houses or even elaborate log buildings. Expert craftsmen, na- turalists, water instructors and first aid services are available to all groups which operate Troop camps on the reservation. The other plan of camping on the reservation is also very pop- ular. This is for the individual Scout, or group of Scouts whose Troop Leaders are unable to con- duct Troop camping. Such Scouts may join a `Reservation Troop'. Members of `Reservation Troops' will live, eat, and sleep together, as real Troop buddies, under Council appointed camp staff leadership. Some `Reservation Troop' members will use cabins and some will be assigned to tents. The program at the Charles Howell Scout Reservation is one of the finest offered in any camp. Watercraft activities, under Red Cross trained supervisors, are emphasized on the two excellent water fronts, which are complete- ly equipped with modern safety devices. Row boating, sail boating, and canoeing are available on Brighton Lake on which the Re- servation is situated. Exploring and canoeing trips are made on nearby streams. Forestry, con- servation, and nature study are stressed, as the site abounds with many species of small game, wild flowers and trees. Scout Advancement is very high at the Scout Reservation. Reservation Staff members serve as Merit Badge Counselors in many outdoor subjects and con- duct classes in Second and First Class Advancement. Information regarding Camp- ing at the Charles Howell Scout Reservation may be had by calling the Boy Scout Program Depart- ment at TE 1-1600. 19,500,000 barrels of oil are produced from the great Michigan state east of the Mississippi River. oil fields in one year.
