CROWD OF 700 1 ATTENDED CHORAL PROGRAM OF CLUB A crowd estimated at 700 persons witnessed the spring program of the McHenry Choral club in the high school auditorium last Saturday and Sunday evenings. Old timers returned in memory to another day and younger folks were given* an insight into the £ "good old days" as the singers carried them back in song to 1890. Against a carnival background, Dan Justen assumed 'the role of barker to recall highlights of each decade as the singers brought the audience up to the present time. . There was an abundance of comedy offered, probably the most hilarious acts being offered by the club's accompanist Ida Ann « Quinlan and Otto Pyritz, who offered in pantomime, "By the Beautiful Sea," Ruth Barger and Phyllis Whitfield in "Bird in a Guilded Cage," two clowns, Ann Cuda and Dan Malone, and Lorean Redwanz in "She May Have Seen Better Days" and Mildred Thomas and Clifford Kiehl in "Ma, He's Making Eyes at Me." Art Mueller and Florence Mueller provided some chuckles during jfV ato interlude in the program when they recalled :well. known popular singers of the past quarter century with various impersonations.

QUALITY CHICKS IMPORTANT IN DISEASE CONTROL The old question. "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" is no puzzle to the progressive poultry raiser. He knows that quality chicks come first -especially in a disease-control program. {, Dr. L. E. Hanson of the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine advises poultrymen to start this year's disease control program off on the right fdot by buying baby chicks from hatcheries with pullorum-typhoid "clean" or "passed" ratings. He points out that in- these days of small margins the ' poultryman can't "afford" thhscl "bargainpriced" chicks that May be infected with pullorum Or typhoid. Dr. Hanson says that good housing and sanitation are also important measures In keeping down diseases. The hous£ , should be well ventilated hftt2 \lot drafty. Good sanitation irfetirdes cleaning the house and equipment thoroughly before placing the chicks in the house, and 'using litter made only from new, dry material. . , If you puf your chicks on range during the growing period, try to provide a range that wasn't used for poultry last year. Move your portable brooder house periodically so that grass range is available and parasites in the soil can be kept at a minimum. Avoid using low land, because wet range offers protection to disease organisms. Dr. Hanson raises these other points that he says poultryjnen need to remember: • 1. Raise growing chicks apart from older chickens and other farm fowl. Young chicks are more susceptible to many diseases than adult chickens. Al£o, adult birds may be carrying diseases without showing any signs. 2. Vaccinate, wnen necessary, before the chickens are 16 weeks old. Your veterinarian can advise you on the vaccine to use after he investigates the Yieeds of your flocks. 3. Keep visitors out of the poultry yard and buildings. 4. Control rodents that not only destroy feed, but may also carry such diseases as paratyphoid. MARRIAGE LICENSES Fredrick Legler and Miss Helga A. Schwanke, McHenry. Anthony S?
