BONDS ARE EXTENDED ®o you own some Series B" Ufl. bonds? Did you Invest in them about ten years ago? (The first "E" bonds were offered by the U. S. Treasury May l, 1941.) If so.^euch bonds are approachin* their maturity, so you'll b€ particularly interested in new legislation passed by the U. 8. Congress and signed by the preside involving these bonds. Arnold J .Rauen, state director, U. S. Treasury Defense Bond division for Illinois, has outlined a brief explanation of how this new "automatic extension" affects you and your "E" bonds. This is it: (1) When your "JE" bonds reach their maturity, ofe tenth ^ear, You Can Cash Them In if yfj need the money. Please remember that! (2) You'll want to continue your investment*, In these bonds. (This is recommended by many authorities). Th§n. 'you need do nothing about the bonds. Just keep them as you always have in a safe place. And. the new legislation provides you can hold the bonds for another ten years. Interest will add up at the rate •*J§% per cent each year you hold them for the first seven and a half years. Then, the interest rate increases for the rest of the ten years until it reaches 2.9 per cetit. Also, please remember: You can cash in these "extended" bonds any time you care to. just as you can now, and you'll receive the accruad interest. You don't have to pay income tax the interest you get on this you cash your bonds. (S) Maybe you'd like to get a check from the I?. S. government twice yearly. Well, the new legislation allows you to turn in your "E" bonds when they reach maturity (ten years) for "G" bonds of $500 and higher de-nominations. These "G" bonds pay 21,-1> per cent interest annually" until their maturity in twelve years (the "E" iQnds mature in ten years, remember), and you get your check for that twice yearly. *• . " , Aj»d you can cash yourr "0" bonds in, if you need to, any time after si^-months from the date you invest in them. And, they'll be redeemed- at full face value, Itoo. SAFETY CHECK-UP UHQED FOB GOOD OF CARS - AND DRIVERS The average age of passenger cars on the road t0ddy is more than eight years, despite four years of booming automobile production, the' S National Safety Council reports. In 1949, the latest year for which detailed figure* are available, 42 per cent of the cars in Use were ten years old or older, as compared with 17 per cent in M41. The Council warns that the large number of older cars on the Rtghway makes conservation and preventive maintenance imperative as war clouds again force steel, rubber and other materials into military production. Check Points Listed To make both Qars and drivers last longer, the Council urges regular inspection and , repair tt the following safety check points: Brakes-- must stop car in 30 feet from 20 m.p.h. and take hold evenly on all wheels. Lights--deadlights at level to give maximum illumination with minimum glare. All lights clean and operating. , Tires--keep at proper inflation and replace if fabric shows or there are cuts and breaks. ^Steering and wheel alignment--* uneven tire ware and excessive play in the steering wheel are warnings for thorough mechanical check. Exhaust and muffler-- keep tight and free from rust .holes or leaks. s Defroster and windshield wipers-- good operation necessary to visibility.- Horn--must be audible 200' feet without undue loudness^ Glass tfnd mirrors-- dean and unobstructed tyr maximum visibility. .

Illinois State legislature, the medical research bloc has again touched off a bitter battle that threatens to consume much of the time of the representatives and arouse heated animosities. No legislation proposed in recent years in the State legislature is more unpopular with the public, and the result is literally tons of letters of protest to representatives, which of course takes time and effort to read and answer. The volume of mail already received gives indication that the record^gstabHahed in the last session, 750,000 letters of protest will be exceeded. According to the Orphans of the Storm, the National Society for Medical Research, has added such far-reaching and amazing clauses to this bill ^hat it is bound to arouse ftjrious public antf^onism. The new bill. House Bill 490, .would close all humane organisations in Illinois if they refuse to turn over their animals for vivisection. More shocking still, the bill makes it a misdemeanor for an individual citizeni to show kindness and mercy to a starving stray dog or cat by "giving it shelter for more thair twenty-four hours. The bill further provides that, all unclaimed, impounded animals (dogs and cats) muBt be turned over to the medical laboratories for unlimited experimentation' after five d<ays. -- -- .Mrs. Irene Castle Enzinger, leader of the humanitarian opponents of the bill, has urged every dog and cat lover in the state to get in touch with 4iis three represen tatives immediately, preferably in person or by telephone, and let them know that they will not tolerate their voting for the bill. She says, "There is no^liope of stopping this bill through the normal processes of committee hearings and informative data furnished to legislators. The medical profession has already spent vast sums of money influencing the members of the legislature* and threatened reprisals for those 4rho fiil to do their bidding. Only the over-whelming voice of the people can now win sufficient votes to kill this vicious bill." Chairman Peel, 'of the Public Aid, Health, Welfare and Safety committee has set April 17 as the date for the hearing and vote. PtUr Bears Although animal keepera of the circus easily recognize most of their charges by facial expression, the "poker-faced" polar bears have sometimes stumped the experts. One trainer painted identifying spots pn his newly acquired polar bears to help out until familiarity with their habits made it possible for him to tell them apart. The local unit of the American Legion Auxiliary was hosj. to the county council last Friday evening. Mrs. May Duckett, president of the Department of Illinois, ml guest speaker of the evening. A large attendance and the record of achievements revealed in the course of business determined the high quality of prevailing spirit. Every unit in the county was well represented, with Union taking first place. Each unit reported something of which they can be proud. All units contributed generously to rehabilitation of vets; Wonder Lake gave to their local fire department; Harvard established a memorial gift shelf in their library; Marengo asks for county support of their magazine sales project. Most important, the county exceeded their quota in ecent membership drive. . Hawing heard very satisfactory reports of unit activities through the county, Mrs. Duckett made no special requests. She suggested that units go on with projects already in the rehabilitation program and to try to equal the recordbreaking records of the past. On the patriotic front, Mrs. Ityckett urged members of thv _ Auxiliary to be tolerant, to have I faith and to have no fear. She < urged neighborly spirit of understanding, particularly the younger people, and helping them understand hew well off we are. In relation to the U.M.T. Dill. Mrs. Duckett advised that more appeals be sent to Congress representatives asking them for support of the Bill. This is an American Legion bill presented by men who feel that they would have welcomed such training before they were sent to the fighting front. Among the coming events in the Auxiliary activities are: Past presidents' dinner at the Huntley Congregational church on April lfr; the entertainment party at Elgin will take place on April 2.r>, at 6:30 Pm., with Algonquin, Cary, Fox River Grove, McHenry, Union Mid Hebron in charge; the youth and community service conference on April 18, 19 and 20, at the Sherman hotel in Chicago, where Wm. Menninger, psychiatry authority, will)speak; and the minstral show at Fox River Grove on April 27 and \28< Tne local unit is sponsoring..a Downey party 6n Thursday. April 12. They welcome as many of thrir friends as are able to take time to leave with them from the Legion Home at 6 p.m. and return about 10. There is nothing more to do at these parties than to make an evening pleasant for very appreciative men whose social life is ex? tremely- limited because they are confined. A few of .. the jnen like to play cards, a few of them dance. Most of them are happy to see new faces or perhaps get a light from your cigarette. The next meeting of the local unit will take place on April 15, at 8 p.m. at the Legion Home. Many interesting reports will be given and plans for future activities will be discussed. Henrietta Vycital, the chairman, hopes that all members • C V: will attend and thus keep posted j The Service observed that "many on Auxiliary activities at this time j well-meaning, elderly persons who when it,is essential for women to aren't capable even of taking probe concerned with their civic and patriotic work. PARENTS' SERVICE CITES POOR RISKS AS BABY SITTERS "Elderly persons with physical disabilities and failing eyesight and hearing are poor risks as baby sitters. Regardless of their moral qualifications and previous experience with children, they may prove to be virtually helpless in time of emergency." The above statement : .was released by the Parents' Consultation Service of " the Book House For Children. It followed disclosure hi Illinois papers of a fatal fire in which a 62-year-old baby sitter and her two charges were killed- According to the newspaper report, the elderly baby sitter and the other two victims, a 9-year-old boy and his 8-year-old brother, -were burned to death in the fire which evidently started from an overheated oil Btove in their trailer home. -- - per care of themselves, offer their services to others, as baby sitters, fnfortunately, -tSieir good intentions and natural love and affection for children fail to compen- ^f*at£ their own physical frailties in a. crisis. In the past, the Service has consistently recommended that "state legislatures and city councils throughout the nation pass laws requiring the licensing all baby sitters, pAvate kindergartens, day cafe agencies, and,, nursery and play schools" and that such licens- Pag» Nlai ing be regulatory in nature and Mi for revenue." Dr. Martin L. Reymert, Ph. D., consultant for the Service. a*4 director of the Moosehart Labtyrfc* tory for Child Research at Mooieheart. III., has consistantly pointed out that "the present lack of dards for these persons and Inatt* tutions is highly detrimently to the health, safety and general w»i> fare of infants and pre-school-pfee children." Dr. Reymert believes that many similar tragedies could he avoided in the future if proper standards were set up and enforced at city and state levels. Kenneth Hatch, Mount Pleasant, Iowa says . . KENT PIG NUGGETS PREVENT RUNTS •.'v; From where I sit Joe Marsh Buzz And The Off-Key Baritones -.Reverend Lester of the eharch ofct on Hillsboro Road coaches his Young Peoples' Choir late Thursday afternoons--after high school basketball practice lets out. Buzz Ellis pastures cows next to that ihurch. Around 5 O'clock they used to make a lot of racket about wanting to go home. That made it kind of rough on the choir. When Buzz learned^ what was going on he said to Reverend Lester: "I never yet heard of a cow that could moo on key. So, 111 just move 'em in a little earlier... This started me to thinking. Buzz doesn't go to that church. And he's so tone-deaf he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket!. From where I sit, yon might say that Buzz didn't have much in common with those singers. But he doesn't divide folks into groups he's "with" or "agin." Yon* politics, your personal preferences--or the fact that you like a moderate glass of beer--mean nothing either way to Buzz.
