Tie that one!' On May 10,1935, almost eight years ago, the above picture, with the caption above it, "Champs Today, Tomorrow . . . ?" appeared in the Plaindealer. About the same time that w;e came upon the picture in a survey of our files this week, news came to us of the graduation from the Altus, Oklahoma, Advanced Flying school of George E. Johnson. George was one of the ch»mpa that - »!' tr" * ' year and the news of his new silver ! ! wings seemed to be his answer to the ! challenge of that headline of eight i years ago. After some investigating i concerning the other boys, we find ; that fate has ordained that they all j answer that challenge with "Champs ; Tomorrow Also." | The four athletes in the picture are j all with Uncle Sam's flighting forces I today. Besides George, who is second ; from the left, are Vale Adams, who was McHenry's first youth to win his wings and commission, in the fall of 1942; Gordon Granger, now with the ravy at Miami. Fla.; and Clarence Anderson, who a few weeks ago was one of the first from McHenry to complete officers* training school and receive his commission as a second lieutenant.

EEMEMBER ASSEMBLY OF CIVILIAN DEFENSE CORPS ON MARCH 2$ At the meeting on Monday evening, March 22, final plans were made v for the alert to be held in McHenry *.«>n March 29. This calling into assembly of all defense corps in the etate is taking place as the result of an order issued by the state chairman of the civil protection division .of the Illinois State Council of Defense. All local defense corps have been notified of the new order and every member is being urged to try and be on the job on this second test. The first test was held last month throughout the state. The exercise on March 29 is to imjpro'vt the technique of operating the Control center, especially with regard tc reducing the number of telephone falls necessary and the testing of operating equipment, such as warning Signals, sirens, whistles, bells or radio r announcements. The local council, number five, is tfomposed of the following communiies, in addition to the city of Mcenry: Johnsburg, Ringwood, Spring rove, Solon Mills, Lily Lake, McCullom Lake and Wonder Lake. The control center on March 29 will be manned by Howard Cairns, chief of police. The siren will be blown for two minutes at the beginning of the •alert" and again at the end of the half-hour period. The whistle at the Ringwood Chemical plant will also be blown. All defense units will operate as If on the "red" signal, but there shall te no public demonstration. Pedestrian and other means of travel shall Continue in normal manner. Schools will be notified and at their discretion they may institute their own air raid drills, moving the chilv dren to refuge zones, in accordance " with the instructional bulletin, issued 4>y the state council last fall. The purpose of these monthly exer. Cises is to demonstrate th ability of the citizens defense corps to respond to an "alert" on very short notice. •Only by continuous practical exercises tan efficiency and interest be created and maintained in the civilian defofts organization.

Any purchase for food lockers after March 29, however will be on exactly the same basis as those by small consumers. For the benefit of ranchers, farmers, prospectors and others who customarily buy meat, cheese, lard and other items, in bulk for use over long periods of time, the rationing regulations permit forward validation of coupons. In these cases, the consumer must apply to his local board and surrender as many red stamps as his contemplated purchases involve, even though some series may not become valid for weeks or months ahead. In exchange for these, he will receive a bulk point certificate which will enable him to make his quantity purchase. The regulations place no official restrictions on any of the rationed food raised by farmers for their own tables and farmers, and their families are entitled to a full quota of points. However, the government is requesting that farm families retain red stamps from their family book equal to the point value of any of the rationed foods, including meat, | produced on the farm and eaten at home. I When a farmer sells any of his j home-produced meat or butter or • other rationed food, he automatically I becomes a distributor and must colilect ration stamps, checks for certificate* and surrender Idas collected points to OPA.

Djedeida Rail Junction Djedeida, Tunis, is an important rail junction between the 1\tni- : sian capital and the naval base of i Bizerte to the north. It is 15 miles ! west from Tunis on the railroad which extends across North Africa to Casablanca, Morocco. | The town is on the right bank of ; Medjerda, chief of Tunisian rivers, | which cuts the zigzag course through ; the mountains followed by the rail- ' way and highway, says the National Geographic society. In centuries past this river silted up the historic^ gulf of Utica. At Djedeida is a" dam, built in 1622, to impound the mountain waters of the river which > in times of drouth may decrease to | one-tenth of 1 per cent of its mad- ' mum volume.
