Guest Speaker
Proves Interesting
About 40 members of the Wo-
men's Auxiliary of the Presbyte-
rian church in' Rosedale Gardens
met for their opening meeting of
the fall season in the basement
of the church on Wednesday eve-
ning, September 8 for a pot -luck
supper at 6:30 p. in.
After the supper, . Mrs.. Irvin
McWethy led the devotional,
then the meeting was called to
order by the president, Mrs. -
French. At the conclusion of the
short business meeting, Mrs.
John Forsyth introduced Mrs.
Howard Anderson, the guest
speaker of.the evening.
Mrs. Anderson has lived in
India for the past 23 years, and
hopes next summer, with her
husband, to be able to return to
their work there. For the first
15 years, they worked in the vil-
lages with the untouchables, the
lowest Hindu caste, teaching, and
helping the mission doctors. The
last seven years, they were at the
Theological Seminary in Sara-
hapur, where Mrs. Anderson had
a class teaching the wives of the
native men who were enrolled
there. She said there is a great
deal of illiteracy, only about 12%
of India's 388 million can read. or
write.
Her talk was an inspiration to
all who heard it, and the women
of the Auxiliary were very happy
to have Mrs. Anderson as their
guest.
The groups will meet through-
out the community on Tuesday
and Wednesday, September 28
and 29-. Women in the -commun-
ity who are not a member of a
group and would care to join, are
asked to call either Mrs. F. B.
Waters or Mrs. W. E. Rubert for
further information.
Will Teach
Sewing Class Here
A sewing class, under the di-
rection of Mrs. Charles Humph-
ries of Plymouth is being organ-
ized in Rosedale Gardens. It will
meet on Wednesday; with the af-
ternoon class from 1:30 to -3:30
p. in. and the evening class from
7 to 9 .p. 'm., starting early in Oc-
tober.
If you are interested in join-
ing either of these groups, Mrs.
E. M. 7,opff, Livonia 2242 will
give .you further information for
the afternoon class, and Mrs. H.
C. Burton, Livonia 2521 for the
evening.
Those women who were in
the classes last spring, will, of
course, be given the first oppor-
tunity to join, but a number of
them are no longer interested,
and so there are a few -openings
for new members. Classes will
be limited to ten members, so if
you are interested in joining, call
either of the above today.
Dinner Opens
Civic Season
Tomorrow, Thursday, Septem-
ber 16 at 7 p. in. the Women's
Club of the Rosedale Gardens
Civic Association will have their
opening fall dinner, at the club-
house in Rosedale Gardens.
Mrs. T. J. .Lyndon and her
committee have arranged a very
interesting program for the eve-
ning. There will be music, with
Mrs. Edgar -Barrett as violinist,
Mrs. Lloyd Nelson, soloist and
Mrs. Fred Vandevender at the
piano as accompanist.
There will also be a motion
picture on flower arrangement.
Programs for the balance of
the fall season will also be an-
nounced.

With the duck season opening
bright and early Saturday morn-
ing, September 25, Postmaster
Harry Irwin and his chief duck
stamp propaganda agent, Ernest
Henry, secretary of the Western
Wayne County Conservation club
are wondering why more duck
hunters haven't purchased their
duck stamps.
"It's just two weeks ago when
duck hunters who are lucky
enough to have some shells left
over from last season can begin
banging away at the wild ducks
in this state," stated Mr. Henry
,yesterday.
"But so far we have sold just
a few stamps. And to get caught
hunting ducks without a stamp
is nothing short of high crime,"
he stated.
TheWayne County Library
center located in the Pierson
school at West Point Park will
this season be open on Thursdays
from 4-5 and 7-8 p. in. with Mrs.
Lillian in charge.

MANY LABORERS OF
FOREIGN NATIONS TO
WORD ON OUR FARMS
A total of 57,489 workers from
Mexico, Jamaica, and the Baha-
ma Islands have come to this
country for ,agricultural employ-
ment. Marvin Jones, War Food
Administrator, recently praised
the ability of these workers and
described their efforts as being
of utmost importance to the pro-
duction of food and fiber for war
needs. Mexican Nationals have
been employed in agriculture in
12 western .states. Jamaicans and
Bahamians have been employed
largely in east coast states and in
the middle west. The workers
have come into this country to
relieve farm labor shortages in
critical areas. When the need for
their services has passed, they
will be returned to their home
countries.
One estimate puts the number
of songbirds in the United States
at three billion.

timated Income for the year and
to make a payment on the out-
standing amount on or before this
coming Wednesday, September
15.
It is estimated that about one-
third of Federal income taxpay-
ers are obliged to make this de-
claration. The purpose of the de-
claration is to get all people on
the pay-as-you-go,, current tax
payment basis.
Generally speaking, those who
are obliged to file are'single per-
sons subject to withholding who
earn over $2700; married people.
subject to withholding who earn
over $3500; and people with es-
timated income sufficient to re-
quire the filing of an income tax
return including over $100 from
sources other than salary or
wages subject to withholding.
People who are required to•
make a declaration but fail to do
so will find 10 percent added to
their tax. The penalty for failing
to pay an installment when due
is an additional $2.50 or 21/2 per
cent added to the tax; whichever
is greater.
There is also a penalty for
making a substantial underestim-
ate of the amount of tax due.
People other than farmers whose
estimate is more than 20 per
cent off will have to pay a pen-
alty of 6 per cent on the amount
underestimated. Farmers are giv-
en wider leeway, being allowed to
be 331/ percent off before the
same penalty is asserted, and not
being required to file declarations
until December 15.
Collector Kavanaugh also asked
employers to be prepared, if re-
quested to give their employees a
preliminary statement of the
withholding deductions for each
payroll period, and the amount of
Victory tax withheld in the first
six months, to help them compute
their estimated total withholdings
for the year. While the law re-
quires employers to furnish a -
written statement to employees
only after the end of the .year
still the act does require the filing
of a declaration by certain tax-
payers on September 15 and they
may need this assistance from
employers in filing the form re-
quired. Inasmuch as only a rela-
tively small proportion of em-
ployees will be required to file
this September 15 declaration, it
is not, expected that this will in-
nnrt of employers, and their co-
operation would be greatly ap-
preciated.

Wartime hints worth knowing
How to save
ELECTRICITY
without sacrificing needed
LIGHT
With fall evenings just around the corner, the
matter of home lighting becomes doubly important.
In many homes there will be increased demands
for longer hours of eyework—extra studying, sew-
ing and other seeing tasks. Fortunately, it is pos-
sible to make your present lamps and fixtures do
double duty ... and to save electricity without
sacrificing needed light.
Here are a few practical suggestions: (1) Fitting
dark -colored lamp shades with white linings can
increase the amount of light from the lamp by as
much as 50 %. Use good white paper and fasten
seam with Scotch tape. (2) Clean lamp bulbs and
reflectors frequently. Dust and dirt may rob you of
half the light you pay for. (3) Flaring lamp shades
do a better job of spreading light than straight -
sided shades. The wider the opening at top and
bottom, the more 'useful light is directed into the
room. (4) Whenever possible, make floor and table
lamps serve more than one person for reading or
sewing. A single lamp on a table, for example,
can provide light for chairs on both sides of it.

1 Observe
Fire J
Fire Prevention Week is al-
ways the Calendar Week includ-
ing October 9th, the anniversary
of the Great. Chicago fire of 1871.
Fire Prevention -Week should
be observed as a climax of the
past twelve months' efforts to-
ward greater fire safety, the im-
portant beginning of another
year's day-to-day campaign. Fire
Prevention Week should be
something more than just a pass-
ing show.
To obtain maximum effective-
ness the .Fire Prevention Week
program should be developed to
reveal to the public such matters
as the following:'
1. Reveal cost of fire waste,
both local and national, in lives
and dollars.
2. Educate the public in the
elemental causes of fire.
3. Show what each individual
can do to reduce the danger of
fire and what the community can
do as a whole to reduce its fire
loss.
4. Provide as far, as possible
both the incentive and opportun-
ity for individual and community
action.
For the next four or five weeks
this columrf will endeavor to col-
lect significant facts, fire loss
statistics and other pertinent data
that will tend to translate to the
community intangible -loss figures
—in both lives and dollars -into
familiar adn meaningful terms.
Last year approximately 10,000
persons, more than half of them
women and children, lost their
lives in fires and the nation suf-
fered a property damage loss of
about a million ddilars a day.
Somewhere in the United States a
dwelling fire occurs every min-
ute and a half on the average,
once every fifty minutes some
person is burned to death in a
fire.
What can we do to prevent this
tragic loss? Can we afford to go
on, year after year, losing 10,000
citizens and burning enough
houses to shelter the entire po-
pulation of a city as large as Los
Angeles, a populationn of about
1,600,000 people?
We cannot prevent this loss by
passing, resolutions, or by doubl-
ing or tripling the size of the fire
department or fire fighting equip-
ment, we can stop it in only one
way, that is, by doing the job
ourselves, individually.
Our houses burn and our
places of employment burn, four
times out of five, because of our
'own carelessness. Carelessness in
the way we keep house; careless-
ness in the way we dispose of
rubbish; carelessness in the way
we dispose of -ashes; carelessness
in the way we handle matches
,and cigarettes and carelessness in
the way we mistreat electrical
and heating .equipment.,
There is no reason for one out
of every 75 homes to suffer from
fire each year—no reason for 4,-
006 children to die in flames that
their parents could have prevent-
ed.
These are cold statistics we are
fighting with instruction as well
as, fire equipment. If individual
citizens will work together each
day on keeping the fire loss down
we will prove the old adage that
an "ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure." ,
