Elgin won the regional tournament by two points in the finals with Dundee at Woodstock. From there they travelled to Proviso and won the sectional by the slime identical score, 44 to 42. Local fans watched with great in- j Strange, but most of us fail to terest as the fine Elgin five eked out: rea"ze the true wprth and greatness one close victory after another $9 of a man like Pete until he is taken jrork into the finals at Champaign^ from our midst. In the past couple of days we ha*« talked to many--•old friends, young friends--school children of today",-- school children of yesterday -- all spoke of Pete as a real friend who played an important part in watching over them and guiding their paths through those tender, carefree years of grade school. £ ®udler' 52^, ?;n Sm,th' 2<2-59i; SERVICEMAN WRITES D.

Elgin lost to a great team in the state finals, but did a good job of representing the northern part of cur state along the way.

Williams, chief executive officer of the Chicago North Weatern Railway Company urged intensification of the garden program in 1944 in a message isSued to 32,000 employees and officers of the railway. "A few ounces of seed, well planted and well cared for, will grow into many pounds of vitamin-rich food," he said, explaining that leisure hours in victory gardens can be converted into satisfying work, contributing greatly to the war effort. "Twenty million victory gardens in 1943," he said, ^produced eight million tons of food, or more than half the fresh vegetables available to civilians." Williams also announced that thei company will continue in 1944 its long-standing policy of granting garden purposes. In 1944 the company's agricultural department will work closely with the railway's personnel and offer its advice and assistance whenever possible to promote the victory garden program. . 1 Army Makes Illiterates Available for Service Ninety per cent of the men who enter the army as illiterates or who are unable to speak or understand English are made available for military service through courses of the army service forces' special training units, the w&t department announced. The courses vary frc~i 8 to 13 weeks in length and, if at the conclusion, the inductee has learned his "three Rs sufficiently to meet the army standard--a fourth grade level in reading--b$Lis sent to a replace* ment center||o receive his basic training. ShoufcHJe-'fail to meet the requirements, he is rejected for military service. In addition to being able'to read, the soldier must have other academ- I ic skills. He must be able to speak and to understand English well enough to carry out orders and to co9verse with his comrades; he | know "Silrrttle arithirieJi,c. ^efficiently io take care of hi6 ojvn pay allowance and to transact simple business, and he must be able to fill out and sign certain papers and to write letters home. i Colonel Paul G. Armstrong, Illinois selective service director, has announced that an official order re* ceived from Washington now provides that no registrant aged 18 through 25 years may be given occupational deferment for industrial reasons unless the state director certifies that the emjifoyer's need for the registrant is critical or, in certain cases, unless a special occupational certification affidavit is filed for the registrant by the War Shipping administration or, in the case of certain undergraduate students, the National Roster of Scientific and Specialized Personnel indicates that a student is within the allowed quota for his course of study and his educational institution. "This order," stated Colonel Armstrong, "means that no young man age 18 through 25 years can now be given occupational deferment for industrial reasons unless his file contains indisputable evidence of critical need in behalf of the war effort. The order applies to men of these ages who are up for classification or reclassification but does not contemplate the arbitrary cancellation of such proper deferments that now exist except ip the cases oi certain students deferred under previous regulations. , • J "Included along with young men occupying critical positions in 'war industry, are certified necessary personnel and trainees of the merchant marine and the army transportation corps as well as certain undergraduate students in medical, dental, veterinary, osteopathic, theological, and technical fields." 1 I Monday.

BOLGE1U The M c H e n r y D r u g g i ^ . • Africa Rich Source of Furs for United States , Most leopard skins have come from Africa. Ethiopia alone has supplied the United States market with as many as lOOiOOO in a year.' Southern Asia also has provided pelts. The common leopard of India, Ceylon and China is much the same in appearance. Asia pro iuees the prized snow leopard whose heavy fur grows in the cold Himalayan region. * Fur of .the serval, an African Wildcat. has been reserved in Africa for native chiefs. This tawny animal has black spots, widely separated on the sides and running together to form streaks on the back. The tail is ringed with black. • ' Found throughout Africa, except j on the Sahara and in deep tropical forests, the wildcat was a sacred animal in Egypt, mummified before burial in the tomb of prince or princess. Less than 2 per cent of the wildcat fur normally came to the United States from Africa.- A year's import of 200.0Q0 pelts might come from every quarter of the globe. African mole skins-»-silver brown in color--may be increasingly popular. None have come from Africa recently, the Netherlands supplying as much as 80 per cent, in pre-war years. Moles are plentiful in the United States, but their fur is regarded inferior to the imported pelt. . City League (Last Week)--- Tonyan Construction C<x; 2>-^TOWTI Club.
