THIRTY YEAItS AGO TI ! DOING THEIR SHARE Mary Cates might be someone you know. She might be one of your friends or neighbors. She might, in fact, be you yourself. She is a typical American mother, poorer than some, richer than many. With three children to take care of, neither she nor her husband has much money to spend on entertainment or luxuries. But they manage to buy defense stamps--not just once in a while, when they think of it, but every week. Mary -knits, and her little girls are also learning to knit. Her stepson wants to join the Marines. Simple, average, everyday Americans, they do their share to help our country win the victory which may, at long last, rneAn a permanent peace. tion, and she does not forget prayer. Every morning before seven she walks to church for 20 minutes of an earnest service, and when she walks home to start breakfast frier face is always bright. But perhaps the finest thing about Mfcry Cates is her mental, moral and spiritual attitude. Her only brother is out on the great north Atlantic on & destroyer; Mary knows in her heart what the news from Don may be at any moment. Mary has knitted more than one hundred helmett. The f--tff girlt knit, loo. They trt knitting those ull-^eriice garment* reputedly trt motl popular in any coldweather camp. By KATHLEEN NORRIS HE American woman is going to come of age in the next few years. She is going to put aside the grabbing, boasting, playing, unthinking ways of a child, and develop her own consciousness and her own soul. She is going to waste less food; buy fewer things that she doesn't want; stop throwing aside perfectly good garments for newer garments; stop flocking to poor shows that she doesn't care much about seeing anyway. She is going to learn the value of the things she has always taken for granted; things she has felt that everyone has and she must have as a matter of course. Money is going to look quite different to her in the next few years, and suoh commonplaces as a good dinner, a safe home, firelight and books and friendly fftes, suddenly are going to appear to be the miracles they are. AH One Now. And sihee immigration has stopped short, and may not begin again for a decade, we're gradually going to unify ourselves into a strong, nationally leveled people. Not Irish- American any more, not Italian- American, not belonging any more to the varied lands that gave our forefathers birth, but all one now, devoted solely to our own country, and the immortal principles that have made her what she is. We will not buy it cheaply, the world-peace that must come out of all this. There will be no nation in the world that will not be bled white before it arrives. But when it does arrive, if it finds us understanding ourselves and our neighbor and our social obligations better, it will not have been in vain. This is the story of Mary Cates. I know there are many women like her, but she happens to be the example that has come to my personal knowledge and I want the women who "would love to do something but don't know how to get at it," to hear about her. Mary is 34, the wife of a man whose income is $2,400 a year. She has daughters 8 and 10 years old, and a stepson who has just volunteered for service in the marines. To begio with Mary saves two dollars a week, and takes two more out of the paycheck each month, to buy government stamps. She puts these in her daughters' names. She made a house-to-house canvass of her entire neighborhood--a rather humble one--to pick up games and packs of cards for the boys' club in the nearest camp. She had printed at her own expense a list of things, often thrown away in the household, that would be acceptable gifts for soldiers. At Christmas time she had six soldiers to dinner, and a small present for each was on her tree. Mary knits helmets steadily; she has knitted more than a hundred altogether. The yarn is given her, but she does the knitting. Children Help. The small girls knit, too; they are knitting those all-service garments that reputedly are most popular of all in any cold-weather camp. These are first simply oblongs of knitting about 24 by 22 inches. They pre sewed into tubes, to be pulled up into the armpits to protect the entire body from cold, or to be drawn over the head to keep throat, chest and shoulders warm.

Lift Tour Hearts. So l||t your hearts, and get into the side of this fight that does not involve hate or revenge or ugliness of any kind, but just loving and serving. The situation is not of our choosing; the decisions have been made for us, and in that very fact there lies a certain sorrowful satisfaction, a certain conviction that no matter how difficult our path may be, at least it has been made plain. Many years ago I found some lines of an old hymn. I've thought of them often in the last few weeks. Here they are, perhaps imperfectly quoted, but the spirit is there: When yon come to the Red Sea place in your life, When there's nothing else you can do, There is no way back, there is no way 'round, There is no other way but through.

McHENRY COUNTY * AGAIN REVEALED BURAL TERRITORY figures released recently show that although McHenry county is known as a rural territory, only about one out of every three citizens of the county resides on a farm ».or in a town of less than 2 500 population. Information came from the U.S. department oI commerce. r , McHenry county has a total population of 37,311 according to the 1940. census with 12,076 of it being considered rural. At least as far as numbers are concerned, fet still a man's world in Mo- Henry county for male residents exceeded the women by 1,593. Men conv prisd 19,452 of the total while 17,8by females were listed. The native born outnumber the foreign bora by almost a ten to one' margin with all but 3,404 of the 37,261 white residents being- native citizens. For purposes of the census, the population was divided into three major classifications distinguished as white, negro and "other races," the last, including mainly Indians, Chin-^ ese and Japanese. Mexicans who were definitely not Indian or of other nonwhite races were classified as white io the census. Negro residents in the county are listed at forty-six while the total of other races amounted to only four. Saving Face in China Dentistry and watchmaking art frequently practiced jointly In Chi* save
