Mrs. Wm. Hubbard and Mr. J. H. Naramore of Chicago, the speakers, dwelt not so much on the qualities of the General for the high office to which he aspiies. but rather to the problems and cand'itions that the next president of the United States will have to face. ‘ficcording to Mr. Nar- amore the chief executive of the naâ€" tion will have a hard row to hoe after eight years of mismle under the Democratic regime. He ext/oil- ed the many virtues of Mr. Wood. his record and fitness for the office of course .

The only thing} we want to impress on you is no sum will be too small, however. the larger the sum the better the truck: you know best what the service the Volâ€" unteer Firo Department is giving is worth. I Watch the Downers Grove Report- er. see that your contribution appear: in the column, if it does not, notify the Village Office as they will b(' given all sums. The local police depaltment were held up on Main st. last Tuesday night. The leader of the gang left with two signed subscriptions for a new fire truck. The police made' no struggle but cheerfully signed the first two cards thereby starting the purchase of a new truck. The most prominent lemark passed \x'as“‘lt’s about time some one got busy. That old rattle trap that the town calls fire apparatus was discarded by a neighboring town some twenty years ago, its purchase ought to be in The Reporter’s 22 Years Ago colurnn." 52¢ How would-YOU h Member: of Local Department “Came Across” When Stuck Up on Miin St. CARD 0F THANKS POLICE HELD UP Mrs. I“. E. Downcs and Family All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to the community. They merry us; bury us; baptize our children: visit us when we are sick. In their hands is the spiritual training of the youth. We Are All Profiteen at Their Expense Part of the Interclnxrch World program is this“: living wage for every minister of Jesus Christ; an efficient plant, and a chance to do 1 big man's job. ’ If you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers better. It's the best investment for your communityâ€"and for your childrenâ€"that you can ever mete. 8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than $20 a Week~ about half the pay of a mechanic. We Pay Him Half the Wages of a Mechanic And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do you contribute’ Nothing if you are outstde the church; an average of less than 3c 3 day if you are a church member. When hospitals need money (hey enlist the support of ghe ministers“ and receive it. But when sickness visits Ihe minister or the membeis of his family they must be (rested in a charity ward. His pay is less than q day laborer s. Every omcer of the Government wiih a war message to deliver appealed to the ministers first of all. But 80% of the ministers receive less income than government economists figure as a minimum for the support of an average family.
