BMUSTMSMT AVUS FOR NAVAL EEBWtVI AVIATION OHANCKD Two significant changes in the rales for enlistment in Naval rsssrve aviation war* announced last week by the Naval aviation cadet selection board. Both changee are designed to help cadet selactioa boards meet the Nsvy's demand for 2,500 pilot-training recruits per ssenth. The moot important ehange provides that college MnhoMoraa, juniors, and seniors may anUst now for pilot train* srtg, " duty TMXttfr ' nearest caddt vidsf ing the ^iei8R5l£'r - Substations which will provide transportation to the Chicago board are loeated in Anrwa, Rockford, and Rock Island. 111.: Indianapolis. Lafayette, South Bend and Kokomo, Ind,; Green Bay, Milwaukee and Oshkoah, Wis.; Escanaba and Marquette, Mich., and Cedar Rapids. Davenport and Dubuque, Iowa. Applicants will be <riven preliminary examinations at these stations. Other cadet selection boards--also served by numerous recruiting substations -- are located in Minneapolis. Kansas City, Mo., St. Louis and Detroit. Under the rule affecting "college students, sophomores in accredited colleges may now be enlisted by cadet selection board provided they have "every reasonable expectation" of completing the two-year college requirement for naval aviation. If after enlistment they fail to meet the prescribed educational requirement, they will be transferred to another class in the Naval reserve. Candidates for pilot training are "hosen from aprlicants between the ages of 20 and 27 who are unmarried ind in good health. They must complete two years of college work be- *ore beginning the ten-month pilot "raining program. Upon completion of training, aviation cadets are commissioned aa ensigns ta the Naval reserve. * In spite of uncertainties accompanyg the war, things look bright for th.-> JUinois farmer and his family foi 1942, according to the "Illinois Farm Outlook for 1942" juat released by the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. * One of the brightest sides of the picture is that most farm families will have more money to spend and invest in 1942. although this will be offset considerably by higher taxes and higher prices of goods and services they must buy. Automobiles, tractors and some household equipment head the list of some of the supplies that will be difficult to buy in 1941, and good care of equipment will therefore be increasingly important, the report adds. Building materials and equipment mad* of metals will be. seriously re» s trie ted, making it necessary-to post* pone some improvements. By using more home-produead vege. tables, fruits, meats and dairy products, manv farm families can improve their diets, and at the saasa time save more money for other living expenses or investments. Rising ftsrm prices make it an opportune time to pay off farm debts. The shortage of farm labor will become more acnta. large industrial and mlTifaif as rnwe man are taken Into and the armed forces costs will rise, it will be good business to up mora mfehin«ry.

Thos<> to be recalled are soldiers who aprlied for release after Congress amended the draft law restricting the mandatory service age group to 21 to 28 y.'ars. With the approval of their unit commanders, these men were eligible for transfer to the enlisted reserve corps up until the time the nation became actively rnguged in war. Since then, all releases have been "-urnH and Conrress has returned the mandatory service age limits to its orieinal level. Recalls are being handled by direct army orders, since men who were released under the 28-year limit rul< were not discharged from the arm} but were merely transferred to the en'isted reserve. According to instructions received by members of the enlisted merve the army will defer recalline those wh* now have dependents or who are key employes in defense industries. -»-'"-m • •; -- < : HUNTING IS *XP FOI Tlie shooting of four ben pheasaaSS out of season Q^ica^o hungers $287.00 Wsdneafesr, as JMtice of of MaHenry "mfc ot $*x FtoJik, Anranging in and J&lto Submitted k|||L«||4^««My k>cal sports enthusi- 'feWT-lfcyiSM, the *w>ortui\ities for wtin«r PHI. bott indoor and outdaos^ in aur own back yard, so to spssk, must not b* overlooked.

Although we cannot biaat ^Mklnany mile long hills that are liilnHbr to the western resorts, nevertheless, there are several hills within a few miles radius that should provide thrill enough for all but the most experienced skiers, The proximity of the Cary ski jump, which annually displays the best skters in the world, gives local enthusiasts a chance to see this sport as an art. In the skating line, certainly MeHenry has advantages over the many inland towns hereabouts. The river, which is handy to all, is an excellent place for skating, and the old "Clay Hols" has in recent years been imoroved. The ice is tested frequently by the city, thus making it safe. Lights were installed two years ago and night skating can now be enjoyed here as well as in larger city parks. The river must not be overlooked as »>n excellent snot for ice boating, also. Each winter an ev.«r-incr*asing number of people initiate themselves in the pleasures of this energetic sport. The hills which are suitable for skiing can also be used for tobogganing, and enough old Dobbins sra still tn evidence in this community so thst sleigh rides can be enjoyed. Indoor Sports Offered For indoor winter snorts, it is hard to see how anvone could wish for mort than is offered here. With the excention of an indoor swimmine pool which it is hoped will be installed soon, the number and variety of indoor sports available in MeHenry equal those of many much larger cities. With sight fine bowling alleys within the dty limits, this popular sport provides pleasure for a good percentage of the sportsmen of the town, both young and old. For those who enjoy target shooting, the city boast* a rifle club whoa* members -onjoy one evening a week at an indoor rifts range not far from town. Y.J>.
