Skating on the lakes id ponds is not safe until we ive had several nights of, temperatures in the neighborhood of 10 to 15 degrees -- or lower. The minute the ponds have a crust of ice, all the kids are champing at the bit to get skating --but the ice has to be several inches thick before it is safe. There have already been two drownings in Antioch. and the Fox Lake rescue squad has been , 0<?rtunate enough to save a couple *"OT boys who fell through in the Pistakee Bay area. . So--remember, make sure the ice is thick enough before you let the children skate. second; Len Lawrence, the twenty- sixth; Ann Ritter, the twentyseventh anl Bud Haldeman and Murray Alford,. the thirty-first.

The flow Of the river depends upon the combined flows ef its vafioifs branches, and these in turn depend upon changing weather conditions in the. area drained by each branch or stream The level of economic activity depends upon human- decisions' to spend money. This spending consists of three major brahches or streams: (1) personal spending, J2) spending by governments, and (3) business investment spending. Let's take a look at the flow in each of these streams and at the economic weather in each area. Personal spending is by far the greatest of the three streams. It makes up roughly 70 percent of all final purchases of commodities are not keeping up with production. Stockpiles of these products are accumulating; and while inventory stocks are not yet excessive, a substantial number of workers have been laid off. This situation is causing busi- I ness to cut its plans to spend tor new plants and equipment. This could cause more unemployment and cause consumers to cut their spending. That in turn would bring on still more unemployment, etc. That is the picture, the dark and the bright. It is not all dark or all bright. The clouds over the international area may precipitate enough spending to keep national production and income about at recent record TWITS n FRET in 1958 levels. much talk, last spring about cutting federal spending, but recent international developments" now point to greater, not less, expenditures by Uncle Sam. Thus increasing spending by our various governmental units will tend to support economic activity in the year ahead. Spending by business has been a big factor in maintaining high employment in recent years. Business spending for new construction and equipment thi$ year will total a record high of 48 billion L. H.

"But as long as she's in Illinois," he said, "why should she have any reason to be disturbed?" Evidently the Illinois cow is a contented animal.
