Again «the Homemakingf III class wishes to thank, all of you who so generously donated clothing. 4 - Seniors Oh* UsHMK The senior English class is studying Shakespeare's famous play, "Macbeth." One of the highlights of their study was the presentation of the witches' serene to all of the other English classes. They formed a traveling company, Friday, Oct. 30. much like Shakespeare's own traveling Company in the 16th century. In the cast were Larry Eke- ^ roth, Macbeth; • with Richard " 8tilling as an alternate; Robert Weber, Banquo; the first witch was Judi Ann Roesch, the second , was Elaine Turner, the third • Witch was Adele Schmitt. - •Ted Cartan, an excellent narrator for the group, not only explained the play and the scene but also provided the sound effects. This particular witches' scene seemed quite appropriate for tjie next day was Hallowe'en. The witches were very realistic! . The following letter was r^ irtlved from Chaplain. Francis P. O'Malley to the Homemaking HI class in care of Joanne Snith. "Dear Joanne; "God bless all of you for being to kind to our Korean orphans. Our staff sergeants showed mr your letter of Oct. 12.

They range -JUl age from 2 to 16. The majority of them lost their parents in the present war. Our Ameri- , can boys and girls don't realize - the blessing they have in being Americans. Our tots have the bare nceessities of life. *'When your boxes arrive We'll let you know. Again God bless you for your great charity. You're going to make a lot of tots happy this Christmas. "Sincerely, " "Francis P. O* Maliey / "Chaplain, USN;" ' Glace Icing Fat Apple Dipping. Candy-covered apples are traditional fare among American youngsters at this season. Adults who help make the spectacular treat have almost more fun than the children. Food specialist Carmel Along, University of Illinois College of Agriculture, shares a recipe she used often when she sponsored a teen-age group in her home town. Put wooden skewers into the stem end of the reddest apples you can find, says Miss Along. Then dip them quickly into the hot sirup you have cooked to the brittle stage -- 300 degrees Fahrenheit. For an especially elegant treat, roll the glazed apple through shredded coconut befor the sirup has completely "set." Crushed nuts are nice for variety. Miss Along's formula for glace-icing will make enough to cover®six small- to medium-sized apples. Th^r proportions are sim pie: Use two cups of sugar, one cup of water, two-thirds cup of light com sirup and a few grains of salt. Combine the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly --x until the mixture begins to boil. Reduce the heat (to keep the sirup light in color), and cook without stirring until the brittle stage is reached (300 degrees Fahrenheit). Remove from heat; Farmers' Outlook Holding Corn Usually Pays S® What is the t>es? Urns (o Mil corn? Here are, some facts to help farmers* answer these questions: • Heretofore November hw usually brought the season's lowest prices. (In the future the low spot may come more often in October because of earlier completion dates for harvest.) From November through July, month-to-month price changes are upward more often than downward. Over a period of forty-four year, 1908 through 1951, prices went Tip about three times as often as they went d o w n . • • , ; ~ ' November to January. Price increases are usually moderate from November to January. ... _ . . . ^ Over the 44-year period, the avcities amounted to 5 per cent e ice of corn lncreased 6 and in rural areas, 3 per cent. | to 10 cents a bushe, in twelve One location category to show • different years JjargBr increases ^ _l" j acc*1| occurred in eight years, smaller ones in seven years. Prices declined from November to January in seventeen years, but there were only two years when the price dropped more than 5 cents a bushel. November to May. The pattern of price changes for corn from November to May is similar to that for November to January, but large price increases have occurred more often in the longeV period. Over the forty-four years, prices increased 6 to 10 cents a bushel in eleven different years. In eleven other years they rose from 11 to 25 cents, tRATtlC ACCIDENT sttOation DOSING EARLY 'S3 REVIEWED The State of Illinois Division of Highways has issued a bulletin giving the status of the traffic accident situation' for the first half of the year. Accidents Throughout 1952 and the first half of 1953, there were approximately 10,000 accidents a month reported to the Division of Highways. These were accidents in which someone was killed or injured, or in which any person's property damage exceeded $100.. Having fixed the monthly figure near 10,000 accidents, the actual number for the first six months this year was 61,264. This is an increase of 4 per cent when compared with the similar total of 59,359 accidents last year. The amount of this increase is about the same as the increase in the amount of motor travel in the same periods, which was £ per cent. The increase in accidents in w&S rural county roads, which was up 14 per cent. Fatalities There were 989 traffic dent fatalities in the first half of this year compared with 928 in the . first half of 1952. This increase amounting to 7 per cent, exceeded the 5 per cent increase in travel and slightly raised the travel-death rate from 6.9 to 7.0 deaths per hundred million miles of travel. Among the vaHous population classes of cities, fatality increases were registered in cities below 5,000 population but <iecreases were shown for larger cities. For all the cities taken together, there were 395 deaths this yetfr compared with 397 last year. Rural traffic deaths at 594, were 12 per cent more than the •531 last year. Deaths from accidents on primary highways were up only 5 per cent but on county and local roads, the increase was 55 per cent. Injuries Personal injuries were reported for 34,416 persons in the first half of this year. This is a 4 per cent increase, compared with more than 3ft cents a bushel. dvertthe 44-year period the price ci corn went down from NovembcrNto May in only five years. It declined more than 5 cents a bushel in only two of the forty-four years. November to July. Corn prices in July usually show substantial increases over the averages for the previous November. In eleven of the forty-four years, the July price was more than 25 cents a bushel over November In ten other years the increases ranged from 16 to 25 cents, and in fourteen years they were from 6 to 15 cents. The price decreased 'from November to July in only six out of forty-four years. Decreases of less than a nickel occurred once, from a nickel to a dime twice, from a dime to 15 cents twice and over 25 cents once. These facts show that substantial price increases have occurred frequently, and "large price declines oniy rarely. However, holding corn after harvest time involves a considerable amount of expense that must be paid whether prices advance or decline. . The more important items of expense are interest, storage space, insurance, taxes ftJM shrinkage. OOM TAXES HEADLINES IN JUST ONE WEDDING and in nine years they went up said.' THEFTS STOPPED Patients at Kankakee state hospital are getting better meals including meat at least three times a week and meat-seasoned foods five times weekly, now that thefts of supplies have been stopped, according to Dr. Bettag, director of the state Department of Public Welfare. It was the sudden and unaccountable disappearances of meat at the institution that led to the discovery of the thefts, Dr. Bettag Editors (especially men) occasionally become upset with the lengthy description of the bride's dress but few of them have an opportunity to do anything about it. However, one editor did get his chance recently. He was Jack R. Terry, editor of the Lamoni, Iowa, Chronicle, who wrote up his own wedding. It read as follows: "Nuptial vows were recited by Jack R. Terry of Lamoni and Miss Helen Copehaven of Polo, 111., on Friday afternoon. "The double-ring service was read at the home of the bride's parents by the Rev. Benjamin E. Bollman of the Polo Presbyterian church. "Given in marriage by his whole family, which was only too glad to get rid of him, ttie groom chose for his wedding a single breasted suit of tan imported English cloth with a faint shadow strip. Fashioned with wrist-length sleeves and slash pockets, the handsome gabardine coat had two lapels, one on either side. In the left hand lapel the' groom wore a white carnation boutonniere. The trousers were fashioned with belt loops and zipper and had a becoming cuff on each leg, near the bottom. A white shirt with cunningly conceived French cuffs and an ingenious button-down front was loaned by the groom's father for the occasion.

"For his son's wedding, Mr. Terry wore • a single-breasted suit of aqua-marine gabardine imported from England. He carried a pink grudge and wore a white carnation. The bride's father chose a cinnamon-brown gabardine suit with a figured bag a rabbit that is brown tie. He also wore a white' to run when flushed. / * . TULAREMIA THREAT Tularemia, an infectious disease often carried by the common cottontail rabbit, is still a threat to hunters and others who handle wild game. This warning comes from the state Department of Public Health, which says that up to Oct. 17 it had received reports of 20 cases of tularemia in Illinois, as compared to 43 cases in the corresponding period last year. The Illinois rabbit hunting season opened Nov. 11. Rabbits infected with tularemia are usually sluggish, and hunters are advised not to From where I sit ...6y Joe Marsh stir in a few drops of cinnamon the similar total of 32.967 for and red food coloring or else a- last year.
