The resolution passed follows: "Pure Milk Association producers of District Six assembled at their annual meeting in Woodstock on this date, January 24, resolve that the 70% members represented here go on record of being in favor of stopping delivery of milk to Chicago, if the city of Chicago further presses its plan of assessing the cost of inspection upon the farmer. We support our leaders in their fight with the city council of Chicago in opposing this unjust fora# of taxation and recommend that our! board of directors call a meeting of the advisory representatives of all Chicago milk shippers unless the Chicago city council abandons this program." The adoption of the above resolution featured the annual meeting held in Woodstock Friday which some two hundred attended. ' Pat Williams of Coral township, president of the district, presided. ' ( Arthur H. Lautebrach, PMA general manager, reviewed association affairs during 1940 pointing out particularly the pleasant relations which now exists between PMA and groups in the industry. He discussed the attempt of the city of Chicago to .pass on to the producers the cost of farm inspection and stated PMA is doing all in its power to prevent this happening. The entire industry, h£ said, is united in its opposition to this proposal. List Four Steps The^speaker outlined four steps to be taken if the city of Chicago imposes the inspects n costs on the farm. The four fololw: 1<--Take the matter to court backed by an old law in this state that says a city can't charge farmers fees for selling their own product in the city. 2--Go to the state legislature and ask it to pass a law making it impossible for municipalities to enforce license laws against farmers. 3--Ask for federal regulation to prevent the idea from spreading through the nation. 4--Request a hearing from the secretary of agriculture and ask him for an increase in price. Shaw Guest Speaker Guest speaker of {he meeting was Wilfred Shaw, secretary of Illinois Milk Producers Association, who outlined the legislative situation for Illinois dairymen. A milk control bill to license and bond handlers is, he said, nearly ready for introduction into the General Assembly at Springfield. Mr. Shaw also gave a progress report on Dairy Products Promotion, Inc., the i'und - raising organisation which will give Illinois milk producers an opportunity to participate in the national advertising campaign for ROTNOUR PLAYERS TO STAGE SHOWS AT THE BRIDGE AUDITORIUM Arrangements have been completed for the J. B. Rotnour Players to appear at The Bridge Auditorium in McHenry for a series of plays. This road attraction is well known in McHenry and vicinity. It is safe to say that Mr. Rotnour*s company is the only one in the mid-west and north which has stood the test of time and showing fifty weeks out of the year. The cast of players include ten wellknown artiste and vod'vil entertainers. All special scenery is carried for each production. The stage at The Bridge is being well remodeled to accommodate these players and audiences are assured of amusement by players in the flesh that is well worthwhile. Every play is a full evening's entertainment and with the vod'vil introduced between acts, patrons can expect amusement at its best. Arrangements have also been made for a dance to be given after the show every night of the company's appearance without extra charge. In next week's edition of The Plaindealer will be given complete details, together with the names of players, the play and date of opening. Watch for it!

Today, active and alert as she approaches her eighty-fifth birthday, Mrs. Thompson is still knitting. She is the oldest service volunteer to enroll with the McHenry county Red Cross chapter for war relief garment production, and the woolen socks taking shape under her nimble fingers and clicking steel needles will eventually find their way to civilian refugees. War work is not a new experience for Mrs. Thompson, who modestly admits that as a small girl she knit soldiers' socks and made surgical dressings during the civil war, and half a century later, as a Red Cross volunteer in the first "world war, she knit khaki wristlets for men in overseas service. In the trying days of the early 1860's, she recalls, she and her mother and sisters did war work under circumstances considerably different from those confronting the modern woman volunteer There was no absorbent cotton for surgical dressings and the fillers were made from lint. She and her sisters spent long, monotonous hours scraping this from worn-out household linens her mother carefully saved for that purpose.
