A. t llcHenry council has. awakened fr&m its lethargy and is once again Vlhe® active, aggressive fraternity it was in the "good old days". Your pals of yesteryear are returning to renewed interests and there is a good sized group of younger men bringing back the glories that once <toelonged to cur council. Not so very long ago, a few of the members held a conference and decided on a program of reactivation. Everyone realized at' the ^ time this program was adopted it would not be an easy one. Everyone realised that to succeed would call for a new high in hard work.' . Everyone realized also, to succeed . would call for a nerw high in council cooperation, and participation too. Yes, everyone realized that to succeed would call for sacrifice on the part of many. Everyone realized these things, for without the presence of each and everyone of ^ vthem the program, which we chose to call Cath'iic action, wouldn't have been Catholic action at all. We as Knights know Catholic action isn't doing the simple, easy little; things that come along with great fanfare and the playing of trumpets. Catholic action isn't always the path of greatest glory. True Catholic action can only stem from hard work, close cooperation d personal sacrifice. The fruits of our endeavors now show: great promise. However, a word to those who have been lax. You were looking for programs li£e ours when you signed your application and took the degrees Of our great Order. You want£L one that would give you an oppoi^ tunity to get out andfework tor all of thoBe worthwhile things, and f ialso give you an opportunity to 'serve* your fellowmen. It Is still not too late to Join your prother Knights, or to revive your Interest in the council's activities. You can start now. Tonight, May 11, our regular monthly meeting will be held. Many important subjects, and future plans will be discussed. You will find the meeting interesting, and your attendance will be an encouragement to the officers, also a pleasure to your Broiler KnlgfcW , Vnefe itike was telling us-- when' vftu admit you're wrong it's a slgi you're getting wiser. - - ' G'BYE. £anc ACCIDENT RECORD ONE OF SORRIEST SYMBOLS OF TIME* One of the sorriest symbols of our limes is America's automobile acctnent record. The twenty-first annual Chicagoland Music Festival, sponsored by Chicago Tribune Charities, inc., will be held on Saturday night, Aug. 19, in Soldiers' field, Philip Maxwell, festival director, has announced. An audience of nearly 100,000 persons from thirty states and Canada is expected to witness the pagentry of song featuring a cast of more than 10,000 performers. With attendance at the twenty previous festivals at 1,890,000, next summer's event is expected to boost the total almost to the two million mark. * . Two honor guests of the Tribune's twenty-first festival will be 72-year-old Egbert Anson Van Alstyne, Chicago coftiboser of popular songs, and Henry Weber, general musical director of both radio station WGN and the Chicagoland Music Festival. Among Van Alstyne's numbers which will figure in the festival program will be In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree," "Pony Boy," "Memories", and "Pretty Baby". Weber will direct the festival's symphony orchestra of 100 musicians. Approximately 1,500 guests are expected to attend the fourteenth annual festival luncheon in the grand ballroom of the Palmer House on Friday, Aug. 18, at which stars of the following evening's performance will be seated at the speaker's table. At the festival In Soldier's Field, Dr. Edgar Nelson, as general choral director, again will direct the singing of the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's "Messiah." Also on the festival staff will be Capt. Howard Stube, In charge of instrumental participation; Fred Miller, the show's field supervisor; Miss Mayblossom Macdonald, in charge of pageantry; Mrs. Irene Powers, club editor of the Chicago Tribune; and Mrss Bess Vyrda, festival secretary. A newcomer to the executive staff will be John Riek, Chicago church and school vocal teacher and choral director, who succeeds Mrs. Edmund J. Tyler as chairman of the festival's vocal solo contests. Mrs. Tyler, who conducted these auditions for twenty years, has resigned In order to tour Euroge this sum- MT »<» V** SKIN MAGIC For a Clear Complexion levalsaHIr for Erie ma-- Skin IrrMpfleas-- Ptatples -- Blotches -- Large Pores Wiiibani -- Ran Bum -- SOOTHES•• HEALi CONDITIONS Hale For Babies {{•ft Apply With The Haal I ,s_ A mviii.w HEALTH TALKS Many children are born with defects such as harelips, cleft palates and deformities of the lower jaw and ears. While these imperfections at birth are unfortunate, the fault does not rest with the parents. The advances in plastic surgery make it possible to correct these imperfections, lea\ - ing, in most cases, little or n;> scarring, according to the educa tional committee of the Illinois State Medical Society fit a Health Talk. Timing is an important factor in plastic surgery, particularly in the young child. Parents, when advised by the surgeon to delay the corrective surgery for a while, are inclined toward skepticism, not quite understanding that the growth pattern in the child must be carefully considered. On the other hand, there are some imperfections that must be corrected very early to direct, "the bone growth properly. In the child, the growth potential is the ability to grow or enlarge ill a normal pattern. If the corrective procedure is not timed accurately, there is danger of interfering with the growth potential and even stopping the normal development. Closing a cleft of the lip, for example, within the first six Weeks of life, provided the general health of the baby is satisfactory, is generally acceptable. On the other hand it is not generally advisable to correct a cleft of the palate so early. Individual growth patterns must be studied, and very often a second and even a third operation must be done to accomplish the desired effect. While surgery accounts for a good percentage in rehabilitation of these tiny patients, some of the cleft palates can be closed to good advantage by means of artificial palate or what js known as prosthesis. c. The formation of Mar tissue, the interference with blood supply and actual interference of bone forming cells are main factors considered by the plastic surgeon. Tlifw are particularly essential in trauiii 'tic or accidental injuries, where hones have been pushed hack, where healing processes have resulted in scar tissue, sach us burns. In l O i'ecflnK such Imperfections •is a ntnle. or so-called "birthmark", or a blood vessel tumor, the same general principles are followetl. In the very young child, whose skin is normally Elastic, it is often possible to -^femove large areas of disfigurement and •hen stretch the skin across the injury, giving a good cosmetic effect and at the same time a good functional result. By utilizing to the best advantage the patient's own growth possibilities and proper timing, better and more effective cosmetic and functional results are achieved by skillful plastic surgery. Eatly examination is of the utmost importance because, in some cases advantages are to be had by early operations and, in others, it la better to delay the surgery. In any case, the possibilltlea He in taking advantage of the growth' potential. Every individual (fs born with powers to produce tissue and grow in a normal pattern. If properly timed, it is possible to aid in directing this growth if it happens to be abnormal to start with. This may mean long periods of observation on the part of the physician and much cooperation on the part of the patient, but the results nman the difference be tween a deformed child and a normal rehabilitated person.

CHOP'S CAMPAIGN f CONTINUES THROUGH '50 HARVEST SEASON CROP, which was started in August, 1947, is sponsored by these parent agencies: Church World Service (twenty-two protestant denominations); Catholic Rural Life Conference for War Relief Services; and Lutheran World Relief, of the National Lutheran Council. CROP is therefore the first c6- ordinated. relief program of Catholic and Protestant churches in the history of the United States, besides being the largest church group project because of its nationwide character. ^ Through Crop, gifts in kind, contributed by American farmers fn harvest season, are sent by church agencies to the ill, aged, orphaned and destitute overseas. CROP emphasizes Amerjca's rural and religious solidarity by providing a medium through which Christian people in the United . States can channel their aid to the hungry^foverseas. ' • -i Since its> inception in 1947. CROP has shipped 175,000,000 pounds of donated American farm produce overseas to aid hungry families in twenty-two countries in Europe and Asia. This huge quantity of foodstuff required over 4,000 railway carloads and was collected in 1,500 counties of America's top But the need continues. In Western Germany where thirteen million refugees hav<3 been thrown upon the mercy rof a shattered economy and are exposed to malnutrition, starvation and disease in poorly provisioned and illequipped refugee camps; in Japan where post-war economic collapse --so far staved off--remains an immediate threat; in China, where the impact of radical social changes on economic post-war chaos has caught countless millions in the tentacles of famine; and in other countries where millions of families have been reduced to a life of want on a subsubsistence level. The urgency of this continuing need, stressed in direct reports from church relief agencies operating in Europe and Asia, is, reflected in the decision of Catholic Rural Life, Church World Service and Lutheran World Relief to oonj tinue CROP'S carload campaign j through the harvest season of 1950 ^and to mobilize all rural groups, | willing to help, in the "Friaadship J Acre" movement. * < STRESS VALUE OF MOVIE EQUIPMENT TO COUNTY SHUT-INS of the board, Mrs. Martoa The moving pictures wiB Iht * shown to TOyone. who Is crippled or shut-in by applying to thi local association through the ily doctor.

Many extra luxury teuthei intide to#. This time we'd like to tell you about something that you cannot see in this picture--something, in fact, you cannot know about from looking at someone else in a passing Buick--or from viewing a Buick on our showroom floor. It's the feel you get from a Buick III motion. You are going to find out that it is something like traveling on your own private, jet-propelled cloud--only firmer. aybe you know a stretch of washboard road, where you have to slow down, or bounce and jitter. Try that in a Buick and see how you keep a level, comfortable boulevard smoothness. Maybe you're always on edge to dodge (tip; and chuckholes. Those also lose most of their jolt when you're at the wheel of a Buick--or in the rear seat In a few simple words--the ride of any Buick--Special, Super or Roadmaster --is out of this world. We could give you a lot of reasons. ;Soft coil springs on all four wheels, for example--the firm linkage of the torquetube drive--the distribution of weight-- big soft tires on wide rims--the W^p Buick .engines are mounted. Even Dynaflow Drive*--always siflfesmooth and free of geared-drive harshness- plays its part in the marvetoa* Buick ride. But why simply listen to reasoM? Experience is still the best teacher. Come see for yourself why the Brick ride is called "matchless" --and how little it costs to replace a jitterbuggy with one of these level-striding honeys. •gfetorf cm KOADMASTE*.
