Briar Martineau came to me the other day in a very much bunged up condition â€"â€" in fact he was so bunged up that he was unconscious and had serapes and bruises and burns and cuts all over him. and on top of that he had ‘one broken leg, two cracked legs, a fractured skull, and a stomach ache. ‘Well, Briar didn‘t know that he had come to me until â€"two days afterwards. beâ€" cause he didn‘t eom:‘:ut from under that length of ti had passed, but ‘when he did finally wake up THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1988 from his prolonged sleep he couldn‘t figure out what on earth had hapâ€" pened to him, for the last time he remembered anything was when the big truck was just about on top of him looking very much like a mounâ€" tain, only bigger.

Campbell, state NYA direcâ€" tor. The report showed that more than 8,900 Illinois youths were employed on NYA projects this week, an inâ€" crease of approximately 100 over the previous week. _ Further increases may be looked for within the next month, accordâ€" ing to Director Campbell. He exâ€" plained that an additional 500 jobs recently were made available when unexpended balances of previous alâ€" located funds for Illinois had been released. ‘These new jobs will be provided without increasing the state‘s quota, he said. Director Campbell announced at the samé time"that employment of young men and girls would be given foremost consideration in the 1938 NYA program of activities to assist youths in finding steady work in private industry and to equip them through vocational guidance to find the proper job in keeping with their abilities and aptitudes. Origin of Place Names in Illinois Have Been Recorded "We are confident of passing our 1937 employment mark," said Mr. Campbell. "In addition to giving some 20,000 young men and girls partâ€"time employment last year, 66,â€" 368 youths attended Jobâ€"Information classes, Junior Counseling.on priâ€" vate employment was provided for €3,827 and out of this number 31,826 were placed at steady employment in private industry." Project, W.P.A. Blooming Grove in Hancock county was named, not from â€"a grove from a profusion of blooms, but from a minister, a church, and an unknown quantity of nails. When in the early days of the community a few settlers deâ€" cided to build a house of worship, the Rev. John Bailey offered to proâ€" vide the nails required for the strucâ€" ture and asked only that he might name the place. His offer was acâ€" cepted, and he named the settlement Blooming Grove in honor of his old home in Kentucky. Chile in Hancock county got its name, not from any desire to do honor to the republic of Chile, but from the unrealized ambition of Stephen Owen, Sr., and his six sons Origins of numerous place names in Illinois have been recorded by workers on the Federal < Writers‘ Owen family got no further than this part of the state, where they setled in 1831, and the village that ~‘-p'unuhnllulh be part, came to known as Chile.

That made Briar‘s mother feel a little better, though not much, I‘ll confess, so we we went to work with sterilizers and instruments and bandages and splints and all kinds of things until everyone thought that he was wrapped up even more than Cora Shea was, of whom you have heard before. All of this happened about five days ago, and now Briar can sit up and hobble around and even wag his tail a bit and bark ‘if he gets too hungry. Everyone thinks its quite miraculous, even Charlie, who has seen a lot of those things. and espeâ€" clally Briar‘s mother, who was worâ€" ried sick for a long while.

Mills and his associates, after a lapse of four years. The first festivals were organized by the late Peter C. Lutâ€" kin in 1907 hnd continued until ‘one year after his death, Dec. 27, 1931. The last festival was held in May 1932. For twentyâ€"four years the May Festival in Evanston was a north shore institution â€" which yearly brought fame to this section. Famed artists were brought here and the excellence of the programs brought such renown that the festival achievâ€" ed a world widé reputation rankâ€" ing with othér great spring festiâ€" vals held in music centers. Last spring, Edwin S. Mills and a small group of Northwestern Alumni decided to revive the festiâ€" vals as a cultutal contribution of the University‘s School of Music to Chicago and suburban communities, The plan was successful and last May the first of the new series of, annual â€" festivals added â€" lustreâ€"to Evanston‘s reputation and proved to be one of the outstanding musical events of the season. / This year, under the direction of Frederick Stock, plans are being made for even a greater festival. At the moment the list of celebrated artists who will be heard is not ready for publication. However, the famed Festival Chorus will take part and has been rehearsing since Jan. 5 on two of the great choral works to be doneâ€"Brahms‘ Requiâ€" em and Honegger‘s "King David."
