MARSHALL NOW HEADS LEGION POST BOUNTY GETS $4,696.27 FOR USE OF SCHOOLS Mrs. Ethel C. Coe, county superintendent of schools, has received the first allotment of the gas-tax fury} for relief of schools, made possible by a recent special session of the state legislature assigning one-third of the state gas-tax fund for school relief. , The first amount totalled $3r144.45 for elementary schools and $1,541.82 for the high school districts and is the first of eight checks to be received for that purpose. The elementary schools' have received an allotment monthly in previous years as a distributive fund from the regular state tax. The amount received monthly since March, 1934, is $3,366.99. Th^ amount from the gas-tax fund, with the amount from the state tax, will practically double the amount'received previously and will greatly aid in the defraying of school expenses. This is the first time the high schools have benefited from the regular state fund on the gas tax fund. Mrs. Coe is pro-rating the amount and will send allotments to the township treasurers for distribution- CHICAGO WOMAN DIES AT BOWLER HOME G. 0. P. RALLY AT WOODSTOCK SEPT. 6 BROOKS AND JONES SPEAK - TO Joe Frett's Package Excites V Wheaton Postal Authorities (By Lowell Nye) There live# on Riverside drive a jolly old man called Joseph J. Frett. The father of a well-known McHenry family. .."Uncle" Joe is still hale and healthy and plays ball nearly every day over the radio with the Chicago Cubs. No one woud ever picture this rizzled patriarch as an anarchist of e 1880's--clad in black hat and cape, flowing bushy whiskers and sneaking around dropping bombs. For all we know, the good soul probably never did, but a little incident happened last Week which might lead one to suspect that maybe he has had some experience in that racket. It was written up big in the Wheaton Daily Journal. Here it is: # A. J. Frett of Wheaton, Joe Frett's • lion, visited his father a week ago ftanday. 4. few nights after that, policemen rapped on the door of the Frett home in Wheaton and asked Tony if he was expecting to receive a iifcck in the mail.' Mr. Frett told the '||feri that he knew nothing abou such time-piece. They reported that the Wheaton postB office had received a .package addressed to him which from time to time an intermittent ticking |ouM be heard. ^ ... : -Jmy'* Jpftrt jlrippjMl. a beat.1 Tke cops stood there with long faces and all the time the rascally little machine ticked away quietly before the horrified clerks downtown in the post office. Things were looking pretty bad. One of the cops finally added, by the way, that the return address on the package was from Joseph J. Frett in McHenry. Then Tony knew. It seems that during his visit here, he had talked with his father about taking back a small clock which needed fixing. But at the time of departure, Joe had decided not to bother with it and the matter was dismissed. Apparently he changfg} his mind later on and packed the clock carefully in a small wooden box that had contained dried fish. ~(H) Upon the arrival of the box at Wheaton, the postal clerks thought it a bit queer that smoked herring should be ticking, so they called the local constubalry. The cops took one sniff of the very ordinary-looking box and concluded that there was foul work afoot. Not knowing "Uncle" Joe as we do, they could easily imagine the box to contain • bomb and fuse and probably expected «J1 of Wheaton to be blown Mrs. Catherine Sweeney, 71 years old, mother-in-law of James B.

Will any boy or girl refuse to accept the opportunity of attending? A few years ago only a few were privileged to accept the opportunity for higher education. Today there are very few who do not accept this opportunity. What does your boy or girl plan for this year ? To truly enjoy life one must £e educated. This education may be obtained in two ways. It may be obtained outside the school room through the hard experiences of life. Many a well edu* cated person has never gone beyond the fourth grade. However, the be. t and most economical way to obtain one's education, is in the organized class room under the guidance of well trained teachers. If a person wishes clothing he goes to the clothier and obtains it. He cduld take the wool and through hard experience finally obtain his clothing but it would not be economical. A persoij can obtain his education through experience but the economical method is to obtain it through educational institutions. To tru)y.,..exdajL.Me one must have high moral and ethical ideals. Education which is not backed by high moral and ethical ideals is harmful. The school furnished a small portion of this training but the bulk of the moral training must come from the home and the church. Let us see that our boys and girls prepare to enjoy life. Let-us ye that they are educated and let u* see that they cultivate the highest tooral and ethical ideals. .
