It was also the night we paid honor to the clergy, known in our council as the annual "Clergy Night." The business session, off to an early start, opened to a flacked house" on attendance, was concluded by 9:15. Then things happened. Brother Matt Scliulien of Chicago council, that card trickster par excellence, was nevei* in better form. He came up with some mighty fine entertainment. • Our thanks to these Fathers for being with us, and we sincerely hope they enjoyed the evening. fre wish to offer a word of praise t those in charge of the evening's program, and. we certainly will not forget our custodian, JOe Guaeardo, for his time and efforts in supplying most enjoyable^ refreshments. Another highlight of the evenii| g, we were glad to see so many old timers there for a change. We will not risk telling you who they were. Maybe they have been hidor don't want someone to know they miss once in awhile. Some members from other councils were also present for the evening's enjoyment. To these visitors and, to the many others in our territory we say-- Let's Be Neighborly. Along the good old Fox River, over at McCollum Lake and Wonder Ljtke^ane cannot help but notice! fifie increased number of gomes' built in these and other communities. Many of the new residents have moved out here from Chicago--and it is reported to us that there are a lot of members of Chicago councils who are too far from their home council to go back and forth to their meetings. These brothers probably read our column once in awhile, and if any of them do, we cordially invite them to meet with us whenever possible. We don't ask you to transfer--juet continue your interest in the work of our order by joining in oijr activities. If you like us, and want to transfer later on, we will be glad to include you in, but we are not as anxious for your transfer as we are that you visit us and keep up your interest In the Knights of Columbus. Any member of our council knowing «others who have moved out of ticago or any other town to one of these communities will do us bringing up to our meetings.

BOAHD MEMBEHS AND ADMDnSTRATOBS OF COUNTY IN MEETING A meeting of school board mem* hers and administrators from the schools of McHenry county met at Westwood school Woodstock, last week. Dinner was served at 6:30 p.m., followed by a program in the assembly room. Th group was favored by a few remarks from R. L. Tazewell, county superintendent of schools. The two main speakers of the evening were E. C. Mansen of the Illinois municipal retirement system, and C. O. Byerly. Superintendent of Public Instruction. Mr. Heneen gave a general summary I of the provisions provided for under this retirement system and mentioned some of the laws governing the system. Mr. Byerly spoke on "Aspects of a Good School"..He stressed the idea of j the schools belonging to the comj munities. and that education is primarily a local problem, with the state taking the role of counselor and leader by provMing certain standards in conjunction with the localities for their schools. Mr. Byerly gave four main thoughts in regard to good schools. "A good school must have a philosophy; be organized so as to operate effectively; has curriculum that serves the needs of each and all children enrolled within the school; continually evaluate its program." Car Registration Farms of the country are using 5,800,000 motor cars, 2,200,000 trucks and 3,550,COO farm tractors this year, according to the U. S. Department of Aericufture. The 1950 passenger car registration on farms increased a half million ov,er a year ago. Reaching for the top of the ladder of success cannot be achieved by waiting for the elevator. f tlllam Tuuntu. Farm Alriior) Read the Want Ads! i I spent .1 very pleasant week with Mr. Robert Heumann, farm advisor from near Stutgaart, Germany, who is here under the sponsorship of the Marshall Plan. He is one of a thousand or more Germans including priests, ministers, social workers, home advisers, youth organization leaders such as scouts, industrial public relations officials, Ac., from the American zone. Western Germany now is establishing a democracy and the people have to be tanght how to live in a democracy. He is especially interested in 4-H and F.F.A. and their project Work and their meetings. Germany lost turo wars, has gone through two severe inflation®, and deflations, tried democracy from 1920 to 1933 and has gone through onie dictator in the lifetime of many of them. Their previous inflation, during the twenties and the following deflation which set Hitler up as the salvation is being avoided this time they hope, with the Marshall Plan. In 1948 their money was stabilized because American money helped get production going again. Heumann lost his 1600 acre farm in 1944 in East Prussia. He moved his machinery, livestock, feed, and grain west during a furlough from the army but didn't move them far enough so lost the whole works to the Russians. He later found his wife and five children In southwest Germany where he got his present job. He has a college education. He first had to go to farmers and confistlcate food for those in town to buy at a set price, but since about July 1948, production has been sufficient for a free market. Now he advises farmers during the summer and teaches boys and girls over 18 at a two year volunter agricultural school five months during the winter. We visited all eight vocational atrtcnHaral partments in our high this week to see our school methods. We sat in on a monthly FJPJL meetirife at Marengo last Wednesday. We met •he Two Harmonies 4-H club one evening and with 1k* agricultural 4-H leaders of the county on another evening. After the evening with the elah leaders he remarked, "They really talked up to you. It wasn't Just you talking and they sleeping, That was a very interesting observation of the difference between democratic ways and what he is used to. I said, "Sure They tell me off sometimes, too." Up to now that would have been unheard of in Germany. His job when he gets home will be,to get his farmers to realise they can talk up. That Is education for democratic living. Last week at district conference, Prof. L. J. Norton, economist at the college of agriculture talked to us about U. S. Foreign and Public Policy. He is well fitted for .his having made numerous trips JO Western Europe and is nationally known as a practical economist. In speaking ' about inflation, he said the symptoms are a rise In prices and the flight of money into property. The real causes are an excess of money over goods and services Available. An example is the rise in wages and shorter hours of work that have been prevalent iu the last few years. He said the way to prevent It is to 1--create and maintain conditions favorable to increased production; 2-- reduce purchasing power by tavesi a--curtail government expense; 4--curtail credit by government getting lt» moqey from* savings instead of from financing institutions. Norton says be won $2 on a bet test year thut the government debt Humid be lebs November 1, 1950 than It was a year before. The government, he says, has spent $2 billion less than last. year. He gay* conditions will actually be deflationary between now and April. Two wars have been won because we > were economically strong. It is up to Congress to decide between a huge military preparedness, which will be inflationary and consequently make us weaker economically, and a stronger economy. He hopes a middle course will he taken. He doesn't think the Brannon plan will be actively discussed anymore. There are strong economic arguments in favor of it, but the fact that huge sums of money would be paid out, in government checks to a particular class of people would make It morally wrong. Now that the Republicans' are in he bopes they are smart enough to break out of the high tariff shell and keep up the free trade with other countries. He called our attention to the Foreign trade fair in Chicago last year and /which will be there again in 1951. He says we are the most efficient prof ducing country in the world why should our industry be afraid of competition from foreign countries? He called our attention to the Swiss and Italian sewing machines that will even sew on buttons.
