' Private enterprise is often tiarrtstrung by the money scavengers. In accordance with a practice established by your state senator when first elected to the Illinois General Assembly, a report will be filed each week during the present session. These reports will not attempt to duplicate any news services or to try to beat any deadlines with last minute developments. Instead, this column will try to supply back-ground for some of the crucial legislative decisions which will be made each week during the current session. First of all, it may be well to recall that this is the 71st Illinois General Assembly. The first session was held in 1819 and sessions have ibeen held in every odd numbered year since that time. The current session of the House of Representatives and State Senate convene<t»promptly at noon on Wednesday, Jan. 7 when the.'Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier called the joint session to-order. This is according to custom and the Illinois Constitution. Fifty*eight senators and 177 representatives, together with many members of the press, friends and well-wishers gathered on the floor and in the galleries of the historic chamber of the Illinois House of Representatives. After the secretary of state pcrfomed his offfcial task, the assemblage heard Gov. William G. Stratton deliver his message. | The state Senate continues ov- I erwhelminglv Republican, with I thirty - four Republicans to twenty - four Democrats. ' But for the first time in your senator's legislative experience (dating from 1950» Illinois has a Democratfc controlled House of Representatives, with ninetytwo Democratic members as opposed to eighty-five Republicans. The election of Joseph D. Lohman as state treasurer and George T. Wilkins as stale superintendent of public instruction marks the first Democrats to be elected to state offices dining this period These Democratic gains will surely make the political interplay and rivalries in the state House more apparent than at any time in the last decade. Not since Gov. Stevenson's legislative debacle at the hands of a Rex publican Senate and West-Side bloc controlled Houses of 1949 has the challenge to the governor's office been as great. Gov . Si radon's legislative recommendations wil be attacked by the Democratfc controlled Hou*e and may be questioned i by ambitious Republicans in the Senate all with their eyes i on the 1960 elections. Although the Illinois Constitution requires the session to open on Jan. 7, tradition alone (designates June 30 as the closing date. It will be observed again this year. Twenty-five weeks - and twenty - five articles will intervene before that time. Between now and June 30, more than 2.000 separate legislative bills will crowd the hopper- and concern your state Senator in this seventy-first. Illinois General Assembly. MOOSE LODGE The children's Christmas j party Was a huge success. Be-' ! -fori? Santa arrived, Rudy Bry- ; ant entertained the children with several sound movies and not onlv the' children hut also1 their parents. The movies took about an hour and forty-five minutes, which is a long time for the little ones to sit, but they were very good considering there were about eighty- | five children. When Santa ar- : rived he gave each child a [ Christmas stocking filled with I games and candy. Pop was j also served and the children I sang a few carols to end a j very enjoyable afternoon.

What Is The Lar "Woman's Club" Ir 2,236,000 Women Who Save Trading Stamps Are The Largest" Woman's Club" In Illinois. Infant Baptized The infant daughter of Don and Doris Rosing was baptized Doreen C a r o l , in a ceremony j performed by Father Blitsch i following the 10 o'clock Mass | onwec. 28. Mr. and Mrs. Rudy j Fischer acted as sponsors for i the baby. The Fischer family i and Mis. George Justen were supper guests in the Rosing home later in the day. Around the Town The Sunday after Christmas fund the Gerald Hettermann | home still filled with the holi- ! da^spirit. Gathering there for ' Every day over 2,236,000 Illinois women make it a point to shop where they get trading stamps. This large group of smart, thrifty Illinois shoppers, with their common interest in trading stamps, can be thought of as a huge "woman's club" with membership in the state. Of course this "club woman" gets wonderful things for her home and family through such favorites as S&H Green Stamps. Through her thrift and diligence she provides "extras" for her family. And although she may seldom think about it. her active saving is enormously good for business in our state. Last year, for example, trading stamp companies purchased $35,531,000 worth of products from Illinois inanufacturers. Making these things provided jobs for 3,501 Ijlinois people. S&H Redemption Stores, paying local rent and taxes, employ many more. In the light of these facts it would seem that not only Illinois women, but everybody in the state can be thankful that the trading stamp is a part of our way of life. * * * This message is published as public information by THE Sl'FRRY AND HUTCHINSON COMPANY, originator 63 years ago of S&H Green Stamps.
