On September 11
Residents of Rosedale Gardens
are once more reminded that the
annual flower and vegetable
show, sponsored by the Rosedale
Gardens branch of the Woman's
National Farm and Garden asso-
ciation will take place on Satur-
day, September 11 at the Com-
munity house.
You are asked to start plan-
ning your exhibits now. There
will be all classifications for
Junior gardeners as well as
adult.
If you have canned goods to

bring them to the Community
House on Friday evening, Sept-
ember 10. All other classifications

Archery Club
Molds Exhibit
A most interesting exhibit by
two of the champion archers of
Michigan, Fred Bear and Nelson
GrumleY, was held on Wednes-
day evening, July 28, at the
archery target at the rear of the
Community House in Rosedale
Gardens. Mr. Bear and Mr.
Grumley showed the members of
the club and others who came
to watch, just how it should be
done, and also several trick ways
of shooting the bow and arrow.
When it got too dark to see,
the gallery went into the Com-
munity House where two pict-
ures on hunting game with the
bow and arrow were shown. The
first, taken several years ago in
Alaska, showed how to shoot
fish, as well as larger game, such
as bear and moose.
The other, much more recent,
was a picture in color, taken by
our own Jack VanCoevering of
a deer hunt with the bow and
arrow here in Michigan, and
how after several days of stalk-
ing and hunting, Mr. Bear finally
got his buck. Both pictures were
of great interest to all present.
M. Pitts, then explained the
purpose of the club, and told of
the plans now in the making for
a roving range. Mr. Bear ex-
plained the equipment necessary
to the sport, and the cost of
same.
Those interested in joining the
club are asked to contact Mr.
Pitts, George Hamilton or Lester
Bookout for further information.
The members meet each Monday
evening, and ladies as well as
men are invited to join.
American soldiers overseas ex-
cept those in Alaska, Hawaii,
Panama Canal Zone, and Puerto
Rico may now send money home
by radio. In a recent week more
than 9,000 soldiers sent nearly
$1,00-0,000 in amounts of $10 or
more, with no maximum limit.
Money may be transmitted to an
individual payee, or to a bank.
The process is speedy and sure.
If a soldier desires to do so, he
may also purchase war bonds by
phis method. .

Thieves Enter
III
olfe's Office
Thieves entered the office of
Harry S. Wolfe on Five Mile road
late last Monday night. The
breaking and entering is the third
that has occured in that office
during the last few years and
each time the main object taken
was a . typewriter.
The typewriter taken Monday
was the third to be lost that way
by Mr. Wolfe and in addition to
the machine two radios were also
missing. Sherriff's officers who
were called to take fingerprints
believed the work was done by
professionals because of the way
a lock was removed from an in-
side door which led into the of-
fice store room.

Did You Know
There were 48 fires in U. S. and
Canada each of which caused
over $50,000.00 worth of damage
or a total of over $6,850,000.00
That fire losses in May this
year were approximately $29,-
297,000.00, nearly one million dol-
lars every 24 hours.
That fire in 2 groin mills con-
sumed enough grain to furnish
breakfast food every morning for
one year for 600,000 soldiers, in
each case the cause was a dust
explosion which usually can be
prevented?
That in each of the above cases
the first spread because of a de-
layed alarm?
That the above grain repre-
sented the work of 2000 farmers
who cultivated 150,000 acres of
land. i
That adefense plant in the
middle west making plane cast-
ings, covering 1,740,000 . square
feet, had NO SPRINKLER SYS-
TEM and when magnesium
caught fire in the plant the loss
was $2,350,000—the plant made
special appliances for 15 other
airplane factories and as a re-
sult, 12 assembly lines were forc-
ed to shut down.
Go back over those figures—
that's no "penny ante" game
you are playing in.
One proud owner of a new de-
fense plant offered to buy the
finest dinner at a big New York
hotel that not one fire hazard
could be found in his new plant
—the building was a well equip-
ped one story structure set in
the middle of 15 acres of land
with plenty of ventilation and
first class wiring—however there
were extinguishers all over the
place, all soda and acid, no foam
extinguishers for2.oil. and electric
fires—no sprinkler, system all
the standpipes were located in-
side the building when they
should have been outside, a spray
booth was located inside when it
should have been outside (there
were 4000 men working in this
plant) — the contractor, when
questioned did not know the lo-
cation of the nearest firebox or
fire hydrant nor did ' he even
know the name of the local fire
chief—upon further investigation,
the nearest hydrant was found to
be 740. feet from t1le main build-
ing and when a hose was .attach-
ed only a small amount of water
was obtained. The local fire chief
who had never been consulted
about the construction of the new
plant said he cold have told
them that the pipeline was in-
adequate as it had been put in
many years ago and was only a
4 inch pipe and probably filled
with rust and was at a dead end
in the water system — what was
actually needed was at least an
8 inch pipe and with a circulating
system—How's that for a fool
proof plant? Don't laugh, you
likely think your store or home
is just as fool proof as that fac-
tory owner did. It is? Go out and
look.
Have you got a phone? What is
the number of the Livonia
Fire Department? Is there a fire

out and look if not, where is
the nearest one—does it work—

up=is it broken off; if so report
it to the water board at once, you
might need it tonight, if there is
no hydrant near .your home where
is the nearest water supply that
the department can depend on—
do you know the proper fire de-
partment to call when you need
one—if yoyu discover a fire with-
in the boundary of the Livonia
Fire Department call Livonia
2555—the boundary lines of. the
Livonia Department at present
are as follows: the center of Joy
Road on the south, the center
of Six Mile Road on the north,
the center of Eckles Road on the
west, the center of Inkster road
on the east—if you do not live
within these limits find out NOW
which fire department to call and
write down the number near
your phone where all the family
can see it and again let us remind
you—don't you try and be the
judge of how serious a fire may
be or get to be—call the fire
department FIRST, it costs you
nothing -and may save hundreds
of dollars or the life of one of the
family or someone elses family.
Keep up the good work—no
fires since June 25th.
,Corn cannot be used for man-
ufacture of distilled spirits and
high wines, a recent directive of
the War Production Board says.
The action was taken to conserve
stocks of corn for essential pur-
poses, although the amount of
corn saved is likely to be small
because distillers already had
shifted largely to the use of
wheat.

'BUY WAR BONDS
Tuve you counted your War Bonds lately? Are you
adding to your collection as rapidly as you would
like to—or as rapidly as you should?
Set a quota of the amount you would like to have
by the time the war is over. Then figure out whether
you will HAVE that much at the rate you are now
buying bonds. Chances are that the amount of your
recent purchases will fall far short of the goal you
would like to reach. And NOW is the time to do
something about itl
Probably never again will you have a better oppov
tunity to save money faster than is afforded by con-

buy cannot be purchased. Put the money into War
Bonds. Certainly there is no safer investment—and,
every $75 you spend now will bring you back $100

Gives Location Of
Blueberry Fields
Bumper Crop Is
Reported This Year
Prompted by a flood of, in-
quiries from ration -conscious
housewives about this year's
!bumper crop of Michigan's fam-
ed blueberries, the state con-
servatibn department made a
state-wide survey of the blue-
berry crop on state-owned lands
in ari attempt to help berry
pickers spot the most productive
patches nearest their homes.
Coming at the same time as
an OPA announcement from
Washington of new curtailments
,on canned goods rations, news
of the record crop of blueberries
in Michigan resulted in a deluge
of inquiries about the location of
the blueberry fields from house-
wives anxious to cooperate with
the OPA suggestion, urging ev-
ery one to can as much fresh
fruit as possible.
In an effort to insure that this
year's bumper crop will be com-
pletely harvested, the state con-
servation commission _ this week
issued an emergency ruling, per-
mitting the use of merchanical
pickers on state lands,. where
many of the most concentrated
blueberry fields lie.

,Ask Farmers To
Not Market Hogs
Packers Unable To
Care For Shipments
With hogs again piling up at
terminal markets and country
points, the War Meat Board re-
peated its strong appeal to hog
producers to reduce marketings.
Many packers again find their
plant facilities congested and are
unable to take care of any more
h'
dupers were reminded by the
War Meat Board that their co-
operation in holding back hogs
last week resulted in an imme-
diate strengthening of _ prices,
and there is every reason to be-
lieve that similar cooperation at
this time will have a like result:
The Board reiterated its opinion
that hogs are good property,
well worth support prices and
there is no justification for their
liquidation.
Packers have been active
buyers of hogs in the present
heavy run, but their processing
and refrigerating facilities,
coupled with the shortage of la-
bor, makes it physically im.pos-
week. Conseauently, farmers Bible for them to handle hogs
are urged to make sure that in the volume they are now ar-
there is a sales outlet for their riving.
hogs before making shipment.
The War Meat Board points
out that the proper place for
the hogs, in view of the crowd-
ed processing facilities, is in the
country, inasmuch as there is an
inadequate supply of corn avail-
able in most markets to feed un-
sold hogs. This lack of corn and
the hot weather in most parts
of the country could result in
heavy death.
The Government's support
applies only to good and choice
240 to 270 pound butcher hogs
and- therefore any unfinished
hogs would not share in the sup-
port program.
The price of hogs at Chicago
declined 25 per cent in the late
trade today and was nearly at
the support level of $13.75. Pro -
