Ryan. Civic organizations in the Valley were united in the fight against the proposed dam in the Fox river north of McHenry. Resolutions against the project, drafted by the Elgin council, were unanimously passed and will be forwarded to both state and national officials. Federation officers wore re-elected, including W. H. Blencoe, Geneva, president; Mrs. Florence B. Ward, Batavia, vice-presi<i°nt; Robert Irwin, Aurora, secretary, and Walter Nicholson, Aurora, treasurer. Speakers included Rodney Brandon of Mooseheart, first president of the Fox Valley Federation; State Senator Harold C. Kessinger of Aurora; State Representative Frank A. McCarthy of Elgin; Mrs. Florence B. Ward of Batavia, and Robert Kingery, secretary of the Chicago Regional Planning association. Mr. Brandon afld Senator Kessinger dwelt at length upon the ultimate project of a huge 50,000 acre lake storage reservoir for the upper Fox river region whereby sufficient water could be stored to assure a uniform flow throughout the low jpater and dry periods of the summer months. Such a reservoir, it was pointed out would likewise assist materially in flood control and would assure a normal river level for the Fox river valley twelve months of the year. "It is foolish," Mr. Brandon stated, "for us to have too much water in the river in April and not enough in August. We should conserve this excess supply in the spring and distribute it through the low water periods of the summer, thus raising the health standards of our valley and at the same Monday, „ Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 21, 22 and 23, will be attended by about 1,300 teachers. The change was made, it was said, because of a minor outbreak of smallpox in Aurora. Down-river city health officials deemed it advisable to make the change rather than to await developments of the epidemic in Aurora. The forthcoming institute will bring together noted educators from through out the midwest. County superintendents of schools, E. M. Harris of Kane county, A. N. Bjrron of Kendall county and Ethel Coe of McHenry county are in charge of the institute. The schools will be closed here next week so that the teachers may attend this institute. With two days of vacation for Thanksgiving the schools will have a full week of vacation which will, no doubt, please the youngsters., How about that order w' our splendid brand of coffee. It's just as good as ever. Erickson Dept. Store. Mystic Workers Elect Officers The Mystic Workers held their Tegular meeting at the home of Mr\ and Mrs. J. J.
