The Cormiers and the Wrights wei-e present at the Mardi G> In New Orleans and the Cormiers brought back some trinkets for the neighborhood children. The trinkets are thrown from the dec- That's why variety in the muffin family seems unlimited. Add bit of "spice and everything nice" to a plain muffin batter and presto! your creation is irresistible. Food specialist Mary Fuqua, University of Illinois College of Agriculture, suggests variations that'll tempt all tastes. Make fruit muffins by adding some chopped dates, raisins, apples or dried apricots to ^our favorite muffin batter. Spices-- ginger, cinnamon and cloves--can be added to the dry ingredients and the muffin mixed as usual. But go easy with amounts until you've done some experimenting. Orange honey muffins are another surprise treat Add two tablespoons of sugar to your muffin recipe. Place a teaspoon of honey and an unpeeled orange slice in each muffin cup before adding the batter. Serve the muffins with (he orange slice up. They decided, theTe wasn't income enough for both of them on the old farm so the single brother got a Job with a machinery company covering quite a few states. Even in the poor sections of Georgia. Alabama and other states all arountf he found unbelievable production, pastures.' beef, dairy cows that really opened his eyes to modern farming. In each case the answer waa the rtune when he talked to farmers about their success--a conservation farm |£an. Then they took him to the house to meet the wife in her gleaming modern electric kitche-n. After all, he looked like a homesick farm boy. Well, the story ended with him going btfck to take up financing the build-up of a run-down farm and a wedding ring for the bookkeeper down at the local lumber yard. Success and romance are two things that never need explaining, it seems. For two years now the conservation banquet have been huge successes. This year a number of by Mafrie SchaettgeA ; "Life Saving Station"--that is the name hy which the Red Cross bloodmobile unit should be known' for that is what it really is. We all have friends or relatives on the Korean war front, and who | knows, that pint of blood you give may save a life that is very precious to you. The life of pny boy is precious to us and indispensiblc to some one. Your pint of blood may balance the scales ot* the side of life, against death.

What did the district do ip 1951? It furnlshedi the leadership and technical advice to build 20 miles of grass waterways, improve 800 acres of pasture, plant 17 miles of living fence of multaflora rose, contour and ^trip crop 400 acres, sow 600 acres of Winter cover crop at last cultivation in corn fields, plant trees on 176 acres of steep badly eroded hillside land and built 7 farm ponds. No. they don't furnish free trees and plant free tr«$s; no free anything but leadership and advice. Ybu can do the rest cheaper yourself.

WATER EVERYWHERE « The eight billion gallons of Water used daily by Illinois industries and the one billion gallons required for municipal needs air* together less than one half of one per cent of the vast quantity of water floating over the state every day i,n (he form of atmospheric moisture. This jnforjnatlon is disclosed in a study carried out by scientists of the Water Survey Of the State Department of Registration and education. The scientists estimate that Illinois receives 99 billion gallons of water on the average daily in the form of rain or snow.

The unit carries nurses, too, of course. One feels really exalted after a donation of bioojd. T|he feeling is akin to that experienced by anyone who has ever saved a man from drowning or from death in some other manner. It gives one a sense of spiritual exhilaration to have given blood to save a life. The Red Cross bloodmobile unit will be in McHenry. on April 30 frojn 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The date for Woodstock is May 1 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and for Marengo it Is May 2W from 2 to 8 p.m. These dates and hours should accommodate all those who wish to give their pint. As with some many. oth«r activities of benefit to humanity, Gertrude ' Barbian is right in there with her sleeves rolled up ahd ready to go. She is working hard to get things organised and to help to get the required number of donors, .Jeannejtfc Yapse, pr««ident of t h e Legion Auxiliary, Volney Brown, commander, and Louise Smith, president of the V.F.W., as well as Chairman Marian Schoenholz and Phil Dlsch, chairman also for V.F.W., are In there pitching too, Joe Gausden, Legion commander, who is probably leaving us soon for the service, is helping all he can. In fact, the personnel of both Organisations and their Auxiliaries are doing all in their power to make this a successful blood b4Qk drive. , * ; Since there are many who sign the pledge cards and then ' some reason are unable to give, it 1b necessary £o sign up abou> three times the <|Uota hoped for.

No anti-tetanus Injections for a certain period. The details may be had later. No one under 110 lbs. is eligible. Diet: Concerned mostly with the day of donating. Mrs. Phinney of the Red Cross advises a light breakfast of fruit, dry toast, lean meat and black coffee before going to the Blood Bank. The diet should be fat-free that morning. Do not skip breakfast or lunch but eat lightly of the permissible foods about two hours before time scheduled for drawing. ' Eight weeks must have, elapsed since last donation. ; • - The schedules will b« made up as soon as cards are in and donors will be advised at. what time to report. If you must give at ;i specified hour, state this on your card. There will be other details given later. Many factories and offices sign up almost 100 percent. This is such a fine thing to do and plasma so badly needed that if you possibly^can, please give. Those of us who have done it many times know it is painless and gives us so much satisfaction to have been able to do this thatj Csluplel* IfM of ttMbe we urge others to do so too. iwBeiies at Wattles Drag Won't you please give that pint that may save A life?
