The members were all surprised with a little gift made by the officers and also to everyone's liking were the refreshments of fruit punch, Christmas cookies and an ambrosia salad with crackers. The evening was truly an enjoyable one and I'm sure all the members went home feeling the joy of the Christmas season a little more. On Friday, Dec. 11, Sally Jo . Von Bruenchenhein delivered about twenty pounds of home-baked cookies to the Joliet Home for Boys. These cookies were donated by members of the Women's Club.

He has been in Los Angeles, Calif., on a special contract* for his company, for the past two months. Dick and Hazel Morley spent the evening of Dec. 17, in Waukegan, at a pre-Christmas get-to-get her, with a few of Dick's relatives.

"The unloaded weapon which looks harmless neatly tucked away, is the cause. "Or could it be human error that is to blame? j, "Nevertheless what is the answer, the cure, to stop this self destruction?
