' A : ; : WELL PAYING Job with PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT was anything but new to our beauteous Frances for, abotu two months ago her beauty earned her the title of Snow Ball queen at another one. of her school's yearly parties. Miss Frances Eastlund will graduate from the Jones Commercial high school next June and will further her studies when she enters college in September. Once again the old theory that beauty and brains don't go together has been knocked into a cocked hat. We predict a great future for this lovely Miss. The 'ttiild weather over the weekend brought many of our summer residents out from the city. As we cruised around last Sunday we saw Fred and Aunt Hattie Edmonds planting petunias, Mr. and Mrs. Max Kolin debating whether they, should put their screens up tehn or let this task go for another week, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Frisa anchoring their castle to its foundation for another rhumba demonstration by Professor Joe, who has acquired a few new movements with which he hopes to create another earthquake in McCullom Lake next summer, and, believe it or not, we actually saw John Barteldes planting potatoes in the middle of the road in front of his home. Now if these are not signs of qn early spring we miss out guess. Glad to see Mike Schmitt back in the groove again after his recent illness. Mike has been confined to his bed fftr two weeks with a case of pneumonia and we are happy to report that his recovery is now com- Elete and ho was able to go to work tst Monday. You just can't keep % good man down. Mr. and Mrs. William Meyers, that young couple at the end of Maple Hill Drive, were made happy by the arrival of their daughter, Shirley, from Phoenix, Ariz., last week and to add to their happiness the folks have received word from the rest of their family, Major and Mrs. John Fox from Munich, Germany that they will be with them sometime in March for a two-months vacation, after which Major John Fox of the Army Air Force will resume his duties in the Panama Canal zone.

At last Sunday's regular monthly meeting of the "Screwy Dozen" held at the Roy-Al Community Center, plans were made for an elaborate Valentine Party to be held on Saturday, Feb. 15, at the Roy-Al spot. The many social activities of this organization in the past proved too much of a strain on - the one-man set up, so at last Sunday's meeting Presideitt Jerry Cermak received wholehearted support from the assembly when he appointed a committee of six to handle the big job of steering the ship on another successful year's cruise.

Many a man is glad that he decided to many 200 pounds of curves instead of 100 pounds of nerves. All lumber is going to round tables to be used for discussing the lum ber shortage. Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects. This is the third age of mankind. First came the ice age, then the stone age, now the shortage. It's funny how a man will spend $2 for a $1 item he wants, while a woman will spend $1 for a |2 item she doesn't want. And now, to quote Mark Twain, we'sign off with these, parting words: Let us endeavor to live that when we die, even the undertaker--"alright, so its mortician"-- will be sorry. * / ADIO® ^ ^IffiHd Corn Acreage -Hybrid corn acreage in the United States has increased from 143,000 acres to over 60,000,000 acres in the past 13 years. Roll Laws As soon as the lawn turf Is reasonably dry in the spring, roll it to eliminate any air pockets which may have developed durjng winter through alternate freezing and thawing. This operation brings tha grass roots again into firm contact with the soil so that growth can go on. This is a very important feature of lawn care and should be emphaaized because it is often neglected as many people do .not have a lawn roller. Clay soils require less rplling and should be rolled with a lighter weight rdUer than us*d for ordinary soils.
