Plana For Card Party, Initiation Latest plans made by the OJ5.S. chapter are for their public card party to be held on March 24 and initiation of members on March 28. A wedding of interest locally occurred at 2 o'clock last Sunday afternoon in the Woodstock Methodist church, Uniting Miss Betty Jane Collen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burton P. Collen, and Lewis F. McDonald, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. S. McDonald, who reside on McConnell Road, Woodstock. The Rev. A. J, Tavenner read the double ring service before an altar banked by high baskets of spring flowers. Given in marriage by her father, the bride was lovely in a gown of Japanese silk made from parachute material sent home by her cousin, Leslie Collen, when he was on duty overseas. It wus fashioned princess style, with long pointed sleeves. Her ftjjigertip veil was held in place by a beaded tiara and she carried an arm bouquet of red roses. Her only jewelry was a double necklace of pearls, the gift of the bridegroom. Mias Victoria Hlenke served as maid of honor, attired in a blue rayon crepe formal, and carried Talisman roses. Leslie Collen acted as best nan. The two flower girls who preceeded the bridal party to the altar were Judith Erb, a niece of the bride, and Kay McDonald of Waukegan, a niece of the bridegroom. Their floor length gowns were of pink rayon crepe. Ushers were the bride's brotherin- law, Robert Erib, and the bridegroom's brother, Robert McDonald. Following the ceremony, a recepion was held at the home of the j bridegroom's, parents for 140 guests. A three-tiered wedding cake centered the attractive table, where Mrs. Robert Erb, sister of the bride, served and Mrs. Ford McDonald of Waukegan poured. The young couple left on a wedding trip into the west, after which they will return to reside in the Kenneth McDonald apartment on the McConnell road. "n»e bride is a graduate of the high school shaped. Pinkish red. The centers came out with the stem if Pattie wasn't careful. Pattie shouldn't have ' bought them. But she couldn't resist. She had always brought home the first on the market since that time just after her marriage when Philip came home, smelling of gasoline. There was always hard grease on his hands and sometimes on his pugnosed face. He stopped at the table, as always, for a preview of what was cooking and said, "Shortcake! Sipring must be here. Spring, when a young man's fancy seriously turns to thoughts of love if he's married to a gorgeous dame like one Patricia." But that had been four years ago. And strawberries always reminded her of the days Philip went away in the mornings and came back to her in the evenings. • Never too tired to dance. * - Pattie loved the way they moved in unison. Philip holding her a little tight, saying, "You're like the music, Baby. You make me know that, it I never have anything more, I've got everything right now. For you I clean carburetors, patch flats: Pump gas. Pour oil. There's a ritzy dame comes into the station about twice a week. She's a looker 1 But, Baby, you outlook her even in curlers and cold cream." Did Philip still feel like that? That she outlooked the lookers, who danced with him at the USO clubs on his week-end leaves? The lookers who worked in canteens, doing their bit for the boys? The lookers who flirted? , He was sent with his crew to England and no doubt met new people with strange ways. Pattie was glad she had been a camp wife. That she had followed her Philip around, put up in a jail for two weeks in Georgia because there were no rooms available. Even slept in the back seat of the car at a falling station when she- arrived in a town too late to find quar- j street, ters. She was glad that she had been with him the night he was shipped. The sergeant had let her stay. She and four other wives who had little to say that they couldn't tell with the pressure of their cold fingers. Philip had looked into her face, upturned in the moonlight, until the tears stood at her lashes and her throat hurt. "You're beautiful, Baby.

SIMON STOFFEL During 1946 a total of 176 new industries made arrangements to locate in northern Illinois, according to a yearly summary of industrial activity by the territorial information department of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois. Ninety-two «pre new plants, eighty- one were branches of existing companies and three moved into the area from other parts of the nation. The 1M6 total of 176 compares with 118 new industries in 1945.. It is estimated by the department that the new plants established in 1946 will eventually employ S4.000 people and have a total yearly payroll approaching 100 million dollars. In addition to the entirely new industrial activity, an additional seventy- two firms moved from old to new location* within the area, which in most cases involved expansion and additional employment and production.

It was horrible ba£k in their house alone. She tried having the wife of one of Philip's pals live with her. But the girl was morbid. She doted on horrors, especially those of the fvar. Philip had said, "Don't sit around fretting about me. Worry is bad. I'll take care of myself. If I see a blockbuster coming at me I'll run like the deuce. I want to come home and find you just the same." Well, she wasn't the same. She'd been fin the iQaterafar ward witmut him tit stand by. Shra come through the measles and a hand that little Philip burned when he pulled the percolator off the stove. The nel bors helped her urtien she had a appendix that the doctor finally removed. Philip said, "Don't ever forget me. Baby. I won't forget you. The going will never be so rough that i that can happen. 1*11 think of you •very day. All day. And dr mm of you at night. Everything I do will be for you and the little one." But all of that had been so long ago. She couldn't bring Philip back aa she used to. At first she could make him sit in his favorite chair. Could, hear his voice above the radio talking without words. Just the rumble of his deep voice. But the couldn't hear his voice ar.y more. She had forgotten how he looked sitting behind the evening paper. Suddenly her hands trembled. She crushed a luscious berry between her fingers. She was frightened. If she couldn't recall here, where Philip had been, how could he remember her, where she had never been? How could he keep in mind their simple pleasures when everyone worked to entertain him and thousands like him? Time blots out everything. She iiad tried to keep her hold on Philip. She had sent him pictures of the baby every month. Anniversary pictures, she called them. And snapshots of herself too. Being careful to look her best; careful to smile with the wrinkles in her nose about which Philip had teased her Little Philip came in from outdoors. His pug nose was red with tie cold of early spring. His hands were smeared with a red sucker and there was a ring around his rosy mouth where he had licked the stickiness. His cap waa gone his reddish hair was every which way. "Tan I have one, Muzzer? Dust •ne?" the little boy pleaded, standing on tiptoe to see better. Pattie looked down. She had aeen (hat face before. But it was older. She gave him the biggest berry she could find. "And one for Daddy," she whispered. Mrs. Stilling Heads Mothers Club Committee .
