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 exhibit, you are requested to bring them to the Community House on Friday evening, Sept- ember 10. All other classifications will be accepted on Saturday morning. All residents of the community are invited to enter the results of their Victory Gardens as well as their flower gardens in the show. 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. .

Larsen on Westmore Road at 10:30 a.m. An outdoor camp fire was made and the girls cooked their lunch.

Everyone had a good time, and the boys are hoping to go again. far Club To beet Soon Mrs. C. Carey, chairman of the Neighborhood War club in Li- vonia township wishes to an- nounce that a meeting of the various neighborhood chairmen will be held very shortly.

Dealers (whether retail or wholesale) must accord them this privilege. This means, that if necessary, the dealer shall not deliver any mo- tor fuel for any non-agricultural or non-military use until these preferred demands have been "satisfied"—statement by Acting Petroleum Administrator f or War Ralph K. Davies. o The Horizon club including Louise Christensen, Ethel May Mahoney, Elaine Mahoney, Bev- erly Randall, Carolyn Trocke, Elaine Zobel, and Evelyn Kurtz were taken to Edgewater park Monday night by their advisor, Mrs. Myron Anderson, and assis- tant advisor, Mrs. Dale Harrison. 0 The Campfire. Girls, of Stark road and vicinity, are spending aweek at Island lake with their leaders, Mrs. Bowser and her daughter, Mrs. Leurck. Mrs. Anna Wolte, of Waterloo, Iowa, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. John C. Calhoun, of Berwick avenue. 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. 0 Mom's Club Pot Luck July 20 The Mom's club of Livonia Township held their monthly potluck luncheon on Tuesday, July 20 at Lola Valley Park. Two members, Mrs. J. Zeigler and Mrs. Henchman were guests of honor as it was their birthday month. The Mom's Club are continuing with their good work. They took 112 packages of cigarettes and 4 dozen wash cloths to the U. S. Marine Hospital last week. They are also continuing to help the Red Cross when necessary. The next meeting will be held on Friday evening, ugust 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Township Hall, instead of the first Tuesday in August, as it is hoped that more members will be able to attend an evening meeting. Mrs. Carey, president, sends an urgent appeal to all members of the organization to make a special effort to attend this meet- ing as there is some urgent busi- ness to be attended to, and the decision and help of the whole of the club is needed. New members, of course, are always welcome. If you have a son or a daughter in service you are most cordially invited to come to this meeting and join the other Mom's in their work. Tin Can Pick - Up Saturday Residents of Livonia Township are reminded that the next tin can pick-up will be made on Sat- urday, August 7. That is this com- ing Saturday. You are asked to have your tin cans properly prepared. That is: Labels off cans washed out, tops and bottoms off, and placed inside the can before flattening, flatened. No matter how many or how few cans you may have, bring them, Friday evening or early Saturday morning to the main road nearest your home and the truck will pick them up. Let's help the War Effort by doing this job NOW. Get your tin cans ready today if you haven't already done so, and put them where you can pick them up easily on Friday to deposit at the main road nearest your home. 0 Mrs. Luther Whiteley. of Clar- ita road and daughter, Mrs. El- mer Craig of Detroit spent a week in Windsor, Canada with relatives after attending the funeral of Mr. Whiteley's bro- ther.

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 Wednesday, August 4, 1943 hydrant near your home?—Ge out and look if not, where is the nearest one—does it work— are orkare there tall weeds covering it 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.

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.

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 - BEER - LIQUOR - WINE Dancing Sat. and Sun. ED PALISZEWSKI, Prop.
