More than 1,500 priests from the six counties comprising the Chicago archâ€" diocese are to participate in the openâ€" ing procession and in the prayers for the safety of.Amercian servicemen. Because of late vacations to be taken by war workers, visitors at state parks will probably keep coming until the onset of inclement weather.

Stritch to join him in prayâ€" ers for the safe return of their men in the fighting forces at the Holy Name Moly Hour, Sept. 13, in Soidier field.

Every person in the State and Cook county headquarters is making regular purchases each month. While no record has been kept of purchases by personnel of the local boards, it is believed that they too, are 100 per cent in the buying of bonds." Soldier Helps Buy Bullets Master Sergeant Harry D. Melcher, (DEML), United States Army, who is assigned to the Cook County headâ€" quarters of the Selective Service sysâ€" tem, last week sold his automobile and bought War Savings Bonds with the proceeds.

Students To Give Show In USO Center ACCORDING to the best informaâ€" tion ‘there‘s nothing which makes as big a hit with the boys in camp as letters from homeâ€"and pictures. But what kind of pic tures? Most of us have already sent snapshots of the folks to serâ€" vice men. What comes next? The answer to that isâ€"news picâ€" tures! Not professional news photos, of course, but records of the little, personal news events that take place in every home all year round. Such subjects may not rate as big mnews to the world at large, but they always will be ‘of interest to soldiers, sailors, and marines. Our illustration this week, a‘â€" though it may not look it, comes under that heading. Not long ago it was sent to a boy in camp with the muntmmummfi. following : "Here‘s a snapshct Pictures from home are always a grand gift for the boy in camp.

When you look at things that way, you shouldn‘t have much trou ble finding good pictures to send the boys in camp.

Due to this "standing room only" condition in the balconies as well as the main floor for certain performances, such as opâ€" ening nights, Friday and Saturday nights and Wednesday and Saturday matinees, it has been ‘necessary for the Chicago subscription office to disâ€" appoint many wouldâ€"be theatreâ€"goers and return some thousand dollars worth of checks. It is this unique demand which has niotivated the New York office of the Theatre guild in extending the reguâ€" lar two weeks subscription to include a third week in Chicago. The first subscription play of the new season will be the comedy hit "Junior Miss" and it is scheduled to open carly in the fall. Due to this brisk start it is necessary for theatreâ€" goers who wish to take advantage of the third week of season tickets to phone, write or call the guild office at the Erlanger theatre, 127 N. Clark st., Chicago. All subscription plays will not be presented at the Erlanger theatre, but will make their customary rounds of the Harris and the Selwyn as well as the Erlanger theatres.
