Large Enroliment At Winnetka‘s School For Blind Due On July 1 A $100 war bond for a fifteen minute radio show with some constructive war theme is the prize the North Shore Creative Writers is offering at the 4th Annual Writers‘ conference when it meets in Evanston, July 28â€"31. A $25 war bond was the original prize the group planned to contribute but when Mildred Haessler, class treasurer counted the receipts from various sources, she found a $50 war Lond could be announced. At the luncheon following the final class meeting last Thursday, Mrs. O. L. Olesen, guest of honor, made the anâ€" rouncement that she would see the $50 bond become a $100 one. Present enrolliment of the Hadley Correspondence School for the Blind, Winnetka‘s philanthropic institution, indicates that the school will have more students in 1942 than in any preceding year. [ The Hadley school, the only one of its kind in the world, began in 1921 with twentyâ€"one students and had by 1939 grown to the point of servâ€" ing some 850 blind students during the course of the year. This year almost 600 have already been enâ€" rolled. D The size of the school is limited by the availableâ€"facilities, which are controlled by the amount of the conâ€" tributions it receives. These facilâ€" ities have increased year by year, but have mever been adequate to serve all who desire courses. The school gives all instructions. free of charge and is maintained. entirely by charitable givers. Stanley W. McKee, who has served for the past seven years as a memâ€" ber of the Lincoin school faculty, District 108, will succeed Mrs. Marâ€" garet Freeman, who is retiring as principal of the school.

Keep the guns firing . . . is the plea to housewives of the nation by the War Production Board, received by Mrs. Nathan Corwith Jr., acting cbairâ€" man of C€onservation. Fats contain glycerine and glycerâ€" ine is a vital ingredient of smokeless powder. The housewife, the meat dealer, and the man behind the gun are a team. It is the urgent, patriotic duty of every housewife and every meat dealer to "pass the armmunition" in the form of waste kitchen fats, to make glycerine, to make gunpowder. More than double the present rate of collection must be made to achieve the absolute minimum of 200 million pounds of waste kitchen fats needed It has become desperately necessary for every housewife to save and turn in to her meat dealer every possible ounce of used cooking grease, and for each meat dealer to do everything in his power to encourage his customers to do so. h If every housewife in America saved as little as a tablespoon of waste fat each day, it would total over 360 million pounds a year, enough to make 540 million pounds of gunpowder. Any kind of clean metal container can be used to save fats, even fruit, vegetable or soup cans. . As soon as the can is full, it should be turned in to the meat dealer immediate‘y. The powder factories can‘t wait. Even a pound of fat is enough glyâ€" cerine to send a shell screaming toward an invasion objective, or to fire four 37 millimeter antiâ€"aircraft shells and bring down a Nazi plane. It‘s enough dynamite to blow up a bridge and stop an invader. And it‘s 10 rounds from a 50â€"calibre airplane cannon pointed at a Jap.
