Could I get the word around that? No time for a special edition of the Clarion, so I turned to the fastest "news service" in town... Windy Taylor. He spent an hour mobilising his Lodge and Court House cronies --all pretty fair talkers--and the rest is history. Biggest turnout ever. As a newspaperman, I hate to admit it--but facts are facts. The Windys of this world aren't Q&ly quicker news spreaders than our paper . . . they've even got better circulation. From where I sit, some of us would rather talk than eat, while others are dose-mouthed... just as some of us like coffee and others prefer a glass of beer.

Entries will be accepted until Nov. 5th and the awards will be presented at a banquet in Chicago on Nov. 15, after which the winning designs will be placed pn public display for a year at the permanent $400,000 hardwoods exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, 57th street and' the lakefront. This will be the third time-' such a continent-wide competition has been staged to encourage those responsible for designing and building homes and their furnishings to create better things for better living. Sponsored by the Hardwoods Exhibit, Inc., the nonprofit hardwoods industry group created to maintain the big exhibit at the Science Museum, the first competition was staged in 1953 and the second in 1955. The latter drew more than 500 entries, which helped to shape the styling of the furniture and other hardwoods wares introduced to the consumer public during the past twelve months. There will be four classes of competition. Two awards and ten honorable mentions will be given for the best entries in the "production furniture" class, which includes all regularly manufactured furniture; and there will also be two awards and ten honorable mentions in the "archit e c t u r a l i n s t a l l a t i o n s " c l a s s , which includes built-in installations of hardwoods for wall panel- YOU DON'T HAVE TQ BE A PENNY PINCHER!

One of these classes of competition covers custom-designed ;urniture that is available only on special customer order, as contrasted with furniture made on a mass production basis. The fourth class covers such other hardwoods furnishings as lamps, clocks, tableware and statuary. One important phase bf the competition is that the designed hardwoods items must have actually been produced. Mere designs, that have not gone past the drawing board leveff will not be considered. WOMEN AID GREATLY IN BUYING HOMES. SAYS REALTOR HEAD One out ,of three of today's modern matrons not only plays a key part in populating and selecting her home, but in paying for i^ as well. And in all three capacities she is one of the potent forces in improving the standard of the American home. This point was advanced today by T. P. Mathews, president of the McHenry County Board of Realtors, on the basis of current national figures highlighting the importance of the working wife in the nation's expanding economy and real estate industry. Mr.Mathews cited U. S. Census Bureau figures showing that almost one of every three married women had a job outside her home last year. He said that the percentage of wives gainfully employed was 29.5 percent--the result of a steady increase since 1947, when it was 21.5 per cent. At the peak of war time employment in 1944 it was 25.6 per cent, which was considered phenomenal.
