Widowed less than a year, with two small children, she saw her fear grow with each new letter, extending In all directions until it tainted her every thought and act, made her suspicious of every friend.

"Reapers of The Dust" by Lois Phillips Hudson Short Stories Sowing grain and seed, the farmers of the Depression found themselves reaping dust and bankruptcy. Among the dust reapers were the parents of Lois Hudson. This is the c h i l d h o o d b a c k g r o u n d f r o m "which spring these unusual moving stories. Always concerned with human experience they tell of simple, joyful things like a sunny afternoon in the orchard, or an ingenious Holloween prank, and of childhood chagrins, such as lamen table attempts at gopher trapping. They tell, too, of the family's continuing war with hostile elements that eventually defeated them and drove them, like many others west in sear ch of a more stable livelihood. The author's childhood me mories, of a numbing cold spell, a life sapping drought and a choking dust storm, lend vividness to her chronicle of these disastrous years. The new life on the coast, and the adventure of fruit picking and hop-picking for a living are described in "Children of the Harvest."

Here are fascinating stories unearthed in his travels, told by a born story teller with the sharp eye that has won him acclaim as one of the outstanding reporters in any medium.

But in the box was the first of a terrifying series of letters that could only have been conceived in the mind of a monster -- anonymous letters threatening violent revenge for an unnamed deed.

Nancy said, "It was fun working with so many nice people; it seems that most people are interested in helping underprivileged boys and girls achieve a better way of life." The general Peanut Day co-chairmen. Dr. Leohard Pawlikowski and Tony Pintozzi, are pleased to report that the 1965 results are the best of any year since the McHenry Kiwanis club has been holding Peanut Day. They have been advised by Robert Sinn, the General Peanut chairman for the Illinois-Eastern Iowa district, that all Kiwanis clubs reporting in give the same indication. The success locally was made possible by so many people cooperating - tlie ^local merchants by their contributions, the many workers selling peanuts, and the splendid cooperation of the general public. The bowl of peanuts which was placed in the lobby of the McHenry State Bank kept many people guessing. Richard Barrows of McHenry guessed 1.111 peanuts in the jar and was the closest to the actual number of 1,137. He generously contributed to the McHenry Kiwanis club his five dollar prize to further the club's work with the youth of the community. All men may be created equal, but that's about as long as they stay that way.
