The increase in all building in Fsbruary as compared with January is nearly $5,000,000, and the gain •ver February of last year is more than $10,000,000. This is accounted far by a diversified lot of new business, industrial, religious, educational and social projects given permits •Mounting to about $10,000,000 and reported by Chicago, thirteen suburlm towns and Cook, Du Page and Win counties. The increase in total dwelling *bMb as reported by all sources is large both as to' numbers and values, whether we compare February with January, or .with February a year . age. The total from Chicago, ninety- ' one towns and the counties, hi Febrmry was 990 homes and apartment units with an estimated value of 9MC1.958- This compares with 7tt mHa in Januan r valued at M>lBr and with olO unite, HMltMi, ' in February, 1947.

S. concerning the location "of civilians in foreign counties. The Red Cross is resuming its service of accepting and handling inquiries from persons in the U. S. about location of civilians in foreign countries. The war time service was discontinued due to resumption of normal mail channels and the establishment of an agency called Central locations.' No inquiries will btf accepted for persons in foreign countries whose addresses are known, but displaced persons and nationals of other countries will be subjects for inquiries. There is a printed form number 1609 that will be used. It is interesting to note that English and most European languages are written in the Latin alphabet, with the exception of Greek, Chinese, Japanese and Russian. Names in these last languages should be written by hand in the alphabet by a person writing that language, and the equivalent of the name should be written in English . If thp person sought is a displaced person or refugee in Germany, the phrase will be entered on the <a$m, with .the last known address. • All inquirers are advised that the Red Cross cannot guarantee that an individual can be located or information obtained. Many times the great dislocation and inadequacy of transportation in foreign countries make speedy service impossible. If an inquirer does not hear from the person sought, he should inform his Red Cross chapter immediately. Persons wishing to inquire about location of other U. S. citisens in foreign Countries, .including Germany, should write directly to the Special Projects Division, Department of State, Washington 25, D. C. Upon request, this division will either cable at the inquirer's expense or send all airgrams to the American consulate. •iiiiiiii CHILDREN OF DECEASED WORKERS ELIGIBLE FOR SOOIAL SECURITY AID Children of workers who have died after working on jobs that come under social security long enough to be ' insured," may get monthly payments even though their mothers may not get such payments, Bernard Barnett, manager of the Waukegan, III., social security field office said recently. No payment can be made, however, unless and until a claim is filed, Mr. Barnett gave the following example, using fictitious names: Helen Green was widowed at the age of 26. She was sure any social security payments she might get would not be enough to support the two children and herself, so she got a job immediately with her former employer. She did not even inquire about social security payments, because she knew she could not get a widow's benefit while working on a job that came under social security, she learned later, however, that the two children could get payments even though sh was working--and they are now getting about $40 a month on their father's social security account. Unfortunately, the family lost three months' payments more than $100, 'because Mrs. Green delayed some 6 months in filing a claim for the children. Benefits can be paid retroactively for only three months before the date a claim is filed. To make sure of getting all the social security benefits that m«y be payable, Mr. (Barnett urged that some member of the family get in touch with his offieec at the Poetoffice Bldg., Waukegan, 111., whenever a worker dies after having had employment that is covered by the social security. His office is glad to find out whether the deceased worker was insured under social security and, if so, to help the family file a claim for benefits. This help is free of charge. The office is open Monday through Friday from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m. BIRTHS A daughter was born on March 24 at the Woodstock hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Gemld-Bvf.

PET OWNERS URGED ~ TO cMsramfroGs TO OWN PREMISES A new warning against the danger of rabies was issued last week for Chicago and suburban cities by Dr. Edward A. Piseciek, Cook county health director. He reported at that time that four more dogs suffering from the disease, a record number, were discovered in the sufouitw in a seven-day period. Three were in Harvey and one in Melrose Park. Five persons were reported bitten j by the dogs. Ten others who handled ' the animals without being bitten also have taken anti-rabies treatments. Since Jan. 1, eleven rabid dogs have been discovered in the county outside Chicago. With the approach of warm weather, more and more don always roam at large. Owners or pets are urged to keep their dogs on their own premises, thus lessening the possibility of dread rabies gaining a noU is our community. COMING EVENTS On Monday of this week County Superintendent of Schools Roland Mc- Cannon acted favorably upon a petition of* approximately 200 residents of" Lily Lake that their school district be joined to McHenry Consolidated District No. 16. With the signatures of at least two-thirds of the district's voting pufclic, only Mr. • McCannon's approval was necessary to make the consolidation effective. After receiving the petition, and before taking action, Mr. McCannon held a hearing in the Lily Lake community on Monday afternoon. Convinced that th" cor>?olid~t;on was the desire of the majority, ccwity superintendent willinglv took theWnecessary legal steps to ~ make the rural district united with the city. While nothing definite regarding arrangements will be decided until after the next meting of the local consolidated board, it is Mr. McCannon's opinion that at least for next year the seventh and eighth grade pupils will probably be sent into McHenry and an attendance unit maintained at, Lily Lake for the first six grades.

Although he had been in poor health for the past year, this death came unexpectedly. , Mr. Schaefer was born on Oct, 18, 1883, in Johnsburg, and on Jan. 8, 1908, he was united in marriage to Miss Adelaide Schumacher of Adams, Minn. The couple celebrated their fortieth wedding anniversaiy this year. The deceased had engaged in farming for many years before becoming employed by the Woodstock Typewriter Co. He was working there at the time poor health forced his retirement last year. He lived most of his lifetime in this vicinity with the* exception of ten years spent in Waukegan.

Woods in recent weeks during a campaign for registering voters of the county. "This, in my opinion, does not mean a big vote in the primaries, Aoril 13, but just an interest of voters wanting to be registered and is mostly the result of the advertising campaign put on through my office," stated Clerk Woods. Most all of these registrations are new ones and not many are merely changes of addresses. Voters must be registered in order to vote _ in the April 13 primaries. Likewise, they must be registered to vote in the November election. Lack of opposition to most all of the state candidates, and most county candidates, in both parties, is given as the reason for the expected ••••II vote in the primaries.
