William Arthurs Return Home Vr. and Mrs. William Arthurs of Cranston Avenue, Rosedale Gardens, just returned from a pleasant vacation in Northern Canada and Alaska. F. , Dr. John E. Wright, Secretary of the Michigan Optometrist As- sociation and also Editor of their Journal was the principal speaker this past Monday at . the local Rotary Club meeting. Dr. Wright was presented by Dr. George M. Marston, member of the organiation and Optome- trist located in the Township. The theme of Dr. Wright's talk - was, "Seeing" in which he first explained some of the false ideas and misconceptions that are very prevalent today when one talks about the eyes and seeing. "Actually," he said, "seeing is an electrical and chemical change that takes place when light hits the back of the retina and then is carried to the brain. The image is riot photographed by the retina as so many people believe." In continuing, Dr. Wright trac- ed the seeing of pre -historic man whose eyes were developed to see far distances. This was neces- sary m order for survival in find- ing food. Present day man is a near point vision man . and as a result is not able to maintain close work without hurting his eyes. "That is, why," he stated, "so (Continued on page 10) Alvin R. Garchow On NROTC Midshipmen Cruise Alvin R.

TH LIVONIAN Livonia Township, Plymouth, Michigan Wednesday, August 13, 1947Vol. 3, No. 25 Clarenceville voters Turn Down Millage Increase for Gymnasium P.T.A. to Petition For New Election Qualified electors of the Clar- enceville School District turned down by 7 votes a proposal for financing a new gymnasium building for the Clarenceville schools in a special election held Monday. A total of 213 votes was cast in the election. Electors were ask- ed to vote on two proposals; one on the increase of millage above the 15 mill law; the other on the Bond Issue. On the mill increase question a two-thirds majority was necessary for passage. The Bond Issue required only a sim- ple majority. Six ballots were re- ported spoiled. The vote tabulation is as fol- lows: On the increase of, millage above the 15 mills -131 Yes, 76 No. On the Bond Issue -135 Yes, 75 No. Although the Bond Issue passed, as it was approved by a simple majority, the increased millage question failed to pass by there- quired two-thirds majority and thus no action can be taken on the gymnasium building. Approval by the voters of the District is neces- sary on both questions before the program of financing can be start- ed. A spokesman for the Clarence- ville Parent Teachers Association announced, following the count- ing of the ballots Monday, that the Clarenceville Board of Edu- cation would be petitioned imme- diately for another special elec- (Continued on page 4) Home Reception Follows BeautifulCandlelight 'The beauty of a candlelight wedding was the setting for the marriage of Louise Lillian Chris- tenson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy L.

An impressive bit of diginty was added when the relatives and friends arose and remained stand- ing as Louise approached the altar on the arm of her father, and dur- ing the first part of the cere- mony.

Sixty-five percent of the prop- erty owners in this area bounded on the north by Joy Road, on the south by Ann Arbor Trail, on the east by Middlebelt, and on the west by Beatrice signed petitions to bring water to the locality. At the present time there are 456 in the community. The Association estimated that the average assessed valuation of the homes and property in the area in question would run ap- proximately $500 and according to the law may be taxed 25 per cent of the assessed valuation for a period of 20 years in order to finance putting in the water mains.

Addition of southern and west- ern states increased the number qualifying for Clarke-McNary > funds to 43, and boosted the Clarke-McNary budget for the first time to "its legal maximum of $90,0'00,000. With more sharing, some individual allotments ,are (i smaller. , Michigan's reduced share will be $428,424 for 1947-48. Since federal funds have paid roughly 50 per cent of Michigan's forest fire control expenses, some curtail- ment in the conservation department's current forest fire program already has been ordered. Hunters' back tags will be red, green and blue this fall, and the conservation department already is having nearly a million and a half of them printed. Simplification of the license schedule permits limiting the colors to three: green for small game hunters, red for deer hunters, blue for archers, with the prefix N in the serial numbering restricted to nonresident licenses. To make sure all 3,000 license dealers have a good supply, the department is ordering 900,000 resident and 20,000 nonresident small game licenses, 475,000 resident and 20,000 non= resident deer licenses. This fall for the first time bow and arrow deer hunting licenses will be made available at all dealers, to eliminate the delay and difficulty of issuing co many of them in Lansing. About 4,500 archers were licensed to hun. deer last season. The new 1947 license fees are, for residents: $2 for small game hunting and $3.50 for deer hunting; for nonresidents: $15 for small game hunting, $35 for deer hunting, $10 for bow and arrow deer hunting. For a few cTveptional individuals who will be hunting only October. 1410, some-hunting.licenses good only for. the first 10 days of the, are available at -conservation department district head- quarters. Old timers am ng: veterans . Pte. idouillee guides shook their heads and said they had never seen the water so high in the marshes. And game men of Pte.. Mouillee state game area had a new respect for the guides' memory after checking the official records, for they had to go back 70 years to find a higher level recorded. U. S. Lake Survey records indicate a mean level for Lake Erie in June of this yea. of 574.31 feet above sea level, with only two readings; one of 574.52. in 1876 and one of 574.42 in 1862 to top it. As recently as 1935 the Lake Erie level was down to 569.5—nearly five fet below its level at the present time. ' Fluctuations of water level mean more than new boat channels to state game men on the big marsh. With each change of water levels, cattails and other food plants die out in one location, start growing in another. Each such change in the marsh's food supply directly effects both the muskrat population and the numbers of local and flight ducks The first man in recent years to "run" the Presque Isle river from Highway US -12 to the mouth did it in a rubber boat. On his pioneering float trip Gordon Petty of Chicago went over one seven -foot falls he did not see in time for portaging, once lost his pack and had trouble fishing it up, and once had to repair a hole that a rock in the riverbed punched in the boat fabric. He -reached the mouth of the river at Lake Superior, in Porcupine Mountains state park. Finding the wind favorable, he rigged a sail and sailed his craft into Ontonagon harbor. Next time the he-man of the party starts bragging about landing big fish, the womenfolk can remind him of the accomplishment of two East anglers,. Mrs. `C. V Ballard and Mrs. Frances Patch, re- ported to the conservation deptartment. Trolling in upper St. Marys river out from their cottage at the Shallows, the two women, without any man's assistance, brought into the boat a 25 -pound 6 -ounce northern pike measuring 45 inches tong, 19 inches in girth, and caught a" rainbow trout and a second northern pike weighing 10- pounds the same morning. Mrs. Ballard ;s the Editor's mother-in-law. Baby -tending was numbered among the duties of the Cass Lake state park lifeguard Ward Health when he picked up the infant after a saiboat overturned had to play nursemaid for an hour before the parents, rescued by another boat, arrived to claim it.

Original plans called for a pro- posed gymnasium building with a regulation basketball floor and seating capacity for 10.00 persons. A separate band room with stor- age space was also planned as part of the building. Hot and cold showers were to be installed for both boys and girls. The cost of the uuilding was estimated at approximately $116; 000. The special election was call- ed for the purpose of determining whether or not the registered voters of the District were in favor of increasing the millage 11 mills to finance the proposed building. The plan was to float bonds, payable in five years, so that money would be available for immediate construction.

An electric motor operates this walk-in frozen food locker on Mr. Hoyt's farm in St. Clair County. It helps him adjust his farm operation to the ups and downs of the market for his turkeys, chickens and other poultry. A lot of Don Hoyt's poultry used to live for months eating the money right out of.his pocket. If the market wasn't favorable when they were ready, he'd have to keep on feeding them till it improved. One day the Edison Farm Service Advisor gave him the facts on farm freezers. Between them, they worked out the cost of keeping dressed poultry in electric -powered frozen food storage as against the cost of feeding live birds ... and he quickly installed a freezer. (He has two today.) Now he dresses and freezes his poultry when_ -they reach the right size and sells them the year round when the price is right. His records show, he says, that "it costs a lot less to store 'em than to keep on feeding 'em!" Mr. Hoyt and thousands of other Michigan farmers are using elec- tricity for more and more jobs all the time. It saves time and money, cuts work, and helps increase the yield of fields and livestock. They find that electricity provides what farm production needs: dependable electric service that a farmer can count on ... and low -price service that he can use profitably.
