Membership in these clubs totals more than 200,000 buiinesu and -ifthfessional leaders. Mr. Waynne met the office staff, and saw how more than 600 letters a day are handled, how requests l(VK information and supplies are fumlled, and how the community services of clubs are catalogm-d for the benefit of c li?b. district and international officers. As a Kiwanian. Mr..Waynne was interested to learn that approximately 2,500 fellow members visit the general office annually to view the coordinating activities of its staff. ^ATTENDED GRADUATION Henry Heuser, Mrs. Helen Heuteer and Miss Mary Heuser attended graduation exercises at Great kes last Sunday. Richard Heuer was one of the graduates. Weekend guests in the Heuser iomp were Mr. and Mrs. Henry [euser and daughter, Carol, of hicago and Seaman Recruits James LaPratt and Robert Parker. "Harvey", one of the all-time great comedies written tor the stage, will be this weekend's production of the Woodstock Players in a last-minute ihange. "Support given us the first two productions has been so gratifying," Kurt Wanieck, Jr.. producer, explained, "that when we learned 'Harvey' had just been released, we wanted to produce it at once to give our fans the best possible play available." It' replaces "My Man Godfrey" on the schedule. If you're not familiar with the story of "Harvey", you're unusual, for Frank Fay and Joe E. Brown on the stage »nd Jimmy Stewart on the screen have made the role of Elwood P:^T>owd and his 6-foot 1-inch rabbit friend world-famous. Harvey is the name of this invisible rabbit and he is the constant companion of Dowd. a gentle, amiable bachelor who persuades his friends that his ways of amiable lunacy are wiser than the aggressively sane ways of the world. Members of the McHenfir county Theatre Guild, and their friends will gather at Fritzel's Crystal Lodge a|ter "Harvey" Saturday night to dance and take part In late evening social fun. Admission charge will be one dollar 'per person. Dancing will start about 10:30 p.m. and will continue until the 2 a.m. closing time. Guests will have the chance to meet members of the Players, many of whom will be present. JURY RETURNED $7,000 VERDICT IN FAVOR OF HUNTLEY MAN McCOLLUM LAKE •jr TartrtM fa We' enjoy the blissards and <wr zero temperatures at McCnllom Lake, we can't help but pity Mrs Julia Hecht and Miss Joyce Heclit for the hardships they must endure, basking in the warm bree/.es and tnduring the hot Florida sun. "It's an awful life down here in Miami," writes Mrs. Hecht. "Nothing to do but loaf and enjoy the scenery." yce Huska, too, became bored all, and boardtd a plane for Cuba, where she will wind up her winter vacatidh. Sam and Madelyn Nathanson have discovered that an hour's workout with a snow shovel did more for their waistlines than eight slices of Rye Crisp. 'It's an ill wind that don't blow somebody some good." (unquote). A verdict of $7,000 was returned last week by a jury hi the circuit court in favor of John C. Meinke, a farmer in the Huntley area, against Thomas R Nash of Chicago. administrator of the estate of William Streib. Meinke filed as administrator of the estate of his son, Edwin, who was killed in an auto accident in October of 1949 in Du- Page county. Edwin was riding in a cattle | truck driven by Rudolph Schoop I of Huntley, who also was killed in the crash. Streib. who lost his life, was driving another car. A fourth person killed in the accident was Mrs. Donald Sather. a passenger in the Streib car, who succumbed t» injuries. Mr. Sather and Mr®. Streib were the only survivors of the' accident. Sather and Streib were both students at a theological seminary in Naperville.

"Cross Currents in Asia." at the Woodstock Opera House, Jan. 29, at 8 p.m. Mr. Smothers has spent several years in Chicago. Manchuria and. Japan, and has written from many European countries as well. His long and intimate- contact with the Asiatics and other foreign peoples gives Mr. Smothers a wide understanding of international affairs which he 'combines with critical judgment and careful study. He is being presented in Woodstock by the League of Women Voters. Tickets may be obtained from any league member or at the door at seventy-five cents for adults and thirty-five cents for students OX HONOR ROLL Harold M. Nelson, son at Mr. and Mrs. Magnus Nelson of West McHenry, was listed on the honor roll for the fall quartet* at Northern Illinois State Teachers college at DeKalb. He received his degree, bachelor of science in edacation, on Dec. 8.

A first field test of the "tagfing" of insects with radioactive material developed information of practical value, and also showed that radio isotopes can make much easier and more definite essential studies of the flight range and distribution of insects. Preliminary experiments explored ways of "tagging" insects. In Oregon. federal and state entomologists devised two ways of getting the radioactive phosphorus into, the bodies of flies and mosquitoes reared in the laboratory. The first practical application was the release near Corvallis, Ore., of groups of thousands of tagged flies. This was followed by recoveries' in baited traps set in various directions and at varying distances. The "tagged" insects included houseOies and two common species of blowflies. The scientists found it relatively quick and easy to go over the catches with a device that registers radioactivity and so identify the radioactive flies. House* flies were trapped in all directions and at distance^ up to 12 miles. These results may prove of practical value in fly control. Since entomologists have learned that some strains of flies have developed resistance to DDT poisoning, they have wanted more information as to how far resistant flies were likely to spread. The 12-mile flights revealed by this first "tagging" experiment show that resistance is likely to spread widely as resistant breeders scatter into areas where DDT has destroyed non-resistant flies. Reliable information as to flight of mosquitoes is wanted as an aid in establishing the size of control rones for protection either by poisoning or by drainage. Another field in which entomologists need more exact knowledge than they have is on flight of blowflies.

EBP Nations Gain Substantial increases in produc tivity, as measured by output per man-year, have occurred in all countries participating in the European Recovery Program and have played a \ptal role in their reconstruction and economic progress in the last few years, according to the 1J850 report of the Organization for European Economic Co-operation. American aid has been a fundamental factor in making these gains possible. Of the 14 participating nations, six have increased their productivity above the prewar 1938 level. They are France, Ireland. Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. Productivity in Belgium, Denmark, Greece and Norway was rated about the same as in 1938, while the Netherlands was lower. Considerably lower productivity than in 1638 was found in Austria, Italy and Western Otr many. Sheriff Issues Warnin On Feeding Of Ho: i Animal lovers will be considerably happier as the result of aif announcement o^ Sheriff Henry A. Nulle that county residents who refuse' to feed their horses during the winter months will be apprehended.

Those seagoing traders and craftsmen of the Mediterranean devised a simple. effective system of 22 letters. In the process, they apparently took a selection of picture characters of such everyday objects as an ox or camel; made crude letters of them, and gave them names. All consonants, this symplified, easyto- read and write alphabet was used mainly fbr accounting purposes in business dealings. i ACTIDKXT VICTIM Mrs. Patricia Ann Holden Of Aurora, 22 years old, lost her lite last Saturday afternoon during the blinding snowstorm.
