Enroll your small fry with Mr. Thorpe; Emergency Mrs. Margaret Olsen was rushed to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, in an ambulance last Sunday afternoon. Her condition was very critical. However, prompt medical attention alleviated the danger and we're most happy to report that she is recovering rapidly. It won't be too long before she will be able to return to her home and her wonderful sons, Tom and* Teddy, who handled their duties at home like veterans. The Olsens' three-week-old daughter is receiving expert care from proud aunt, Theresa Schultz. And Lynne had her prayers answered by getting the baby sister she wanted even if it is only a temporary loan! Shut-Ins That valiant fellow, Trygve Rongstadt, is making slight gains against the paralytic stroke that hospitalized him last week. Tryg always did his part in handing out a laugh or a cheery word. Let's do ours, now and send him a cheery greeting to wish him well. Send your "paper sunshine" to St. Therese hospital, Waukegan, 111. It will please him so much to be remembered. Hugh McDonald is on the mend after-bout of pneumonia. He returned home from Hot Springs. Ark., with a fractured rib, he thought, until it was properly diagnosed as that old bug.

Lottie and Gene Piotrowski and daughters, Phyllis and Delores, had a gay evening at the Ice Follies in Chicago Sunday evening. Gene was glowing with pride about his wife's slim, svelte figure. He insists it won't be too long before he catches up with her. Prisoners of Love Marianne Ford and Ronnie Tranberg were appropriately attired at the Hallowe'en party Saturday night. They wore matching jailbird sui|s complete with ball and chain! Ronnie must be getting in practice for married life because he presented his love with a beautiful diamond solitaire on her eighteenth birthday Saturday. Marianne and Ronnie haven't set the date as yet, but we're guessing it will be in the near future. Out of This World That best describes some of the costumes modeled at the Hallowe'en party at Bjorks Saturday night. The crowd was a gay and lively one and everyone had a good time. Some of the get-ups were beautiful and others ludicrous. Highlight of the affair was the judging and that was quite a task. There should have been a prize for everyone. Dave Hansen placed first in the men's division. He was fascinating as a high school girl cheerleader complete with flaxen braids. Gerry Jensen was just beauti* ful as a harem dancer and walk" ed off with first prize in the ladles' group. Best couple award went to Anne and Fred Matthesius as a mahorajah and his maharini. Refreshments were served to top the evening's entertainment. Birthday Greetings To lovely Judy Hocin, who celebrated her seventeenth birthday Monday, Oct. 31. JJee you next week. TOP CORN STATE Illinois, habitually the No. 1 soybean state, bids fair also to rank as the nation's top corn state this year. The- Oct. 1 crop estimate of the state and federal departments of agriculture predicts a- 1955 Illinois corn crop of 500,000,000 bushels. This compares with last year's yield of 449,000,000 bushels and the tenyear average of 462,000,000 bushels. Iowa, frequently first In cbrn production, is expected to raise only about ' 460,000,000 bushels this season. Current indications are that the 1955 Illinois soybean crop will be 104,000,000 bushels, the biggest on record. Last year soybeans totaled 92,- 000,000 bushels; the ten-year average for Illinois is 82,000,000 bushels. This year's hay crop sets a new Illinois record. Estimated at 5,200,000 tons, it tops the 1954 crop of 4,700,000 tons and the ten-year average .of 4,100,000 tons. cm SAVE DtmtNPS by the IV Crystal Lake Savings And Lean Association 78 N.

THURSDAYS McHenry, I1L ) HIDDEN VALUES Did you ever stop to consider that, in addition to the pleasure playing cards provide, there are other important values for everyone--children and grown-ups alike--in eve& deck of cards? It might Surprise you, for example, to learn that you can de- -- velop certain Skills in your ch i1d r en merely by ' p l a c i n g a deck of cards in their hands. Some child experts maintain that handling, Shuffling and dealing the cards will help a child improve his manual dexterity. Cards, they explain, stimulate a child's recognition of letters, forms and numbers and later help teach. him to count. Furthermore, they say, color recognition, arithmetical skill, concentration and sportsmanship cpn be developed in an effortless and pleasant way through card games. . These same authorities tell us children also learn something about the basic principles of design when they build card castles or make card patterns. And, beyond these skills, many parents have found to their delight that simple card games, with their rules and traditional etiquette, are a. strong factor in breaking children away from the selfish "I had that!" and "That's mine!" stage of childhood. What hidden values are there in cardf^for adults? According to psychologists, cards help the businessman to relax and forget the tensions of a trying day by requiring him to concentrate on playing a particular game. And, ^jince card games are most oftecPplayed by a group, they are among the few diversions left that a family can enjoy as a unit. They provide a common interest and common meeting ground for all the members from the youngest to the oldest. Finally, according to the educators, card games parallel many of life's actual experiences--victories and defeats, problems and solutions, compromises and crises. Each player is given a set of limiting factors and allowed to work out his own destiny. The big difference, of course, is that no one gets hurt in a card game no matter how it turns out and everyone has fun. BREAKFAST CANT BE MADE UP. SAYS DIETETICS EXPERT If you miss a train you can catch the next one, but that Isn't true when you miss breakfast. Although the calories you niiss in breakfast can be made up in later meals, the other nutrients caiVt, says Harriet Barto, associate professor of dietetics at the University of Illinois. Five years' research shows that "breakfast skippers" harm themselves more than anything else by catching a few extra winks of sleep instead of a good breakfast. They are less alert and efficient than people who've had a balanced breakfast. A mid-morning snack may get you over the hump until lunch. ••But it won't rmake up for a poor breakfast. These snacks may fili, and satisfy you for a while, but they offer you too little nutritional value. Women who either eat a skimpy breakfast or skip breakfast entirely are slower in work and reactions and tend to have less steady nerves than women who eat, nutritionally good breakfaiti. Drinking only coffee' lias the same effect as no breakfast, t , Men studied for breakfasteating habits showed reactions even more marked than women. Where women could last through the morning hours, men com* plained more often of being hungry, and' some were dizzy and nauseated after a lot of exercise. These men did more and better work after eating adequate breakfasts.

He's sold milk and eggs in one about a year now, and recommends them highly-- but with reservations. "Mine's the latest model," says Curly. "Built-in refrigeration unit--heater--an automatic sign turner-on for night. Takes any combination of coins." "However," he warned, "those machines aren't cheap to buy . . . or operate. They run about $5500. If you're not on the main highway like I am--where lots of city people pass--you'd better stick to the old methods." From where I sit, yon have to admire Curly for his pioneering spirit. Of coarse, there's also plenty to be said for those who tend to Btick to the' old proven methods.
