There 'Will be a large attendance'of priests and monsignors preseni to assist in the ceremonies of formerly conferring the honor and title of Monsignor upon Father Nix. » This honor conferred upon Father Nix signifies his merit and constructive ability, with other outstanding qualities, which Bishop Hoban considered so important as to merit the recognition of the Pope. This is an honor, not only for Father Nix and his parishoners, but for the city of McHenry as well, for it is only the most deserving who receive special recognition for their work. The constructive ability of the McHenry pastor has been made evident at various tirdes during his thirtytwo years of work which have elapsed since his ordination. -* At VirsrH, where htr was made the flnjt r^ident pastor on April 25, 1909, he worked for twelve years with commendable zeal in organizing the now REGARDING CHICAGO MILK ORDINANCES Following the recent adoption by the Pure Milk Association Board of Directors of a policy of co-operation toward the Chicago Grade A Ordinance, President John P. Castf ahd Secretary Don Geyer conferred with officials of the Chicago Board of Health relative to the requirement in the ordinance that stoves be provided for heating water in the milk house. The following is substantially the report made to the Board of Directors of the Pure Milk Association at their regular meeting on Thursday, May 16: Dr. Herman N.... Bundesen, president of the Chicago Board of Healtti, stated "that while there no doubt, was merit to the arguments presented by the representatives of the milk producers, the Board of Health had no choice in the matter. The U. S. Pubr lie Health Service, a department of the United States government, was responsible for that portion of the ordinance. ^When the ordinance was written it was modified just as far as the U. S. Public Health Service would permit for Grade A milk/" It was the opinion of th£ Board of Health that the ordinance must stand as written and that heating apparatus in the milk house would continue ^0 be one of the requirements. Dr. Bundesen, in expressing his appreciation for the co-operation so far extended by members of the Pure Milk Association, stated that he would always welcome negotiations on any rulings which the milk producers felt were unreasonable or unfair. He expressed the hope that the producers now supplying the Chicago market would comply with the ordinance as iScenes tod Persons•.•• •ltt';':^e,".Gurren.t' News 1 - tcene us lxiug Leopold qnd Queen .vstrid of Belgium rode in the ro.\ul m opetHhe ureal annua) Brussels fair. 2--Queen Jean Marlow and her fair attendants in their harge at the sixteenth upple blossom festival at Wenatcliee, Wash. 3--Chancel of the $4,000,000 East Liberty I'rosb.vterlnn church of I'ittfcjuittih which Was the gift to the congregation of^fce late Richard B, Mellou ..v.aiul wif<H« iueiaoi> .©1 their Jnptli JUNIORS ENTERTAIN DEPARTING SENIORS speedily as possible in order to hold , event wnicn wiu go aown their milk. ° Community High sehool/\istory . . * . one of the most delightful parties i An event which will go down in as ever staged, is the dinner dance given by EXERCISES the Juniors in honor of the departing Seniors, which took place at th$ Riverside Hotel Saturday evening/ Members of the faculty were Also present.

JAKES DOWNS WEDS MSGS. CHARLES S. NIX flourishing parish. Before that time the pariah of Virgil was united with Maple Park, bat the people had a growing desire for a parish of their own with a resident pastor and a church and • school suited to their nesds. Consequently Bishop Muldoon, who was' then in charge of the diocese, appointed Father Nix as their pastor and he built for them a church, a parochial residence, a school, convent and parish hall and Sisters' house. Building operations started immediately and it was a big day for the parish when on Nov. 4, 1900, the Bishop dedicated the new church. The parochial residence was built at the same time and in 1913 the combination building, containing school, consent and parish hall, was erected. To McHenry In 1921 On August 10, 1921, Father Nix was transferred to McHenry with Father Berthold taking his place at Virgil. Here his first work was the building of the modern rectory which »wa» geatly needed. For the past fourteen 'years Father Nix has labored for the welfare of St. Mary's parish in McHenry and has better conscientious and diligent in the discharge of his duties. A Rev. Charles S. Nix was born at Louisville, 111., Sept. 2, 1878. He was educated at St Mkrtin'* Chicago, Mt. Calvary, Via., and St Francis Ceminsry. With his classmates, Bishop Hoban and the late Father Dommermuth, he was ordained July 11, 1903, by Archbishop Quigley. He was assistant in Chicago parishes and at St. Joseph's, Aurora, before going to Virgil. Father Nix, in addition to being a classmate of Bishop Hoban and ordained with him, has been one of the bishop's consultors since 1928 and for* the past seven years has had a seat at his round table.

Poppy Sale Saturday , On this Saturday, May 25, the annual poppy sale will take place when poppies made by veterans in the hospitals will be ?old. The poppies, which are made in memory of the soldiers who died on Flanders field, are made by ex-service men and the proceeds from their sale is returned for the soldiers. Poppy Day, Saturday How long is public memory and how enduring national gratitude? This question will be answered here Saturday, May 25. It will be answered in bright red poppies worn over the heart9 of all who remember and are grateful to those who sacrificed their lives in the nation's defense seventeen years ago. The women of the American Legion Auxiliary will distribute the flowers on the streets. They remember. Some of their'own lie in the poppystudded battle cemeteries in France. Every since the war they have been devoting their energies to aid those left dependent, to help those who came back disabled, and to carry on in peade for the cause of American democracy. And on Poppy Day they will give their services so that the rest of us may show that we, too. remember. Wearing the poppy is the individual act of tribute to the World War dead. Everyone can .wear a poppy. The Auxliary will offer them in exchange for a contribution for the welfare of the war's living victims. No price is asked for these little flowers, shaped by the hands of disabled veterans. A few pennies, if that is all the person is able to give, or a ten dollar bill, if that amount can be contributed, it is all the same. The same symbolic poppy will be given in exchange. The money which goes into the coin boxes,of the. poppy workers on Poppy Day will all be expended in the welfare work of the Legion and Auxiliary during the coming year, the bulk of it right here in our own city. Thus the little poppy will give us an opportunity to prove that our memory and gratitude for the sacrifices made for America during the war still endures by enabling us to honor those for whom we can do no more and aiding those yet within the reach of human help. fcxajms on an average of 82%. The other classes of the high scfe©*?! vnll take their exams next week , The Juniors farewell to the Seme * was given in the form of a dinn dance at the Riverside hotel Satu - day evening and will leave pleaaa " memories for the Seniors to take wit'v them. 46 In Senior Class DOROTHY ALTHOFF " , JEAN BECKENBAITCH CATHERINE A BISHOP v JEANNETTE K.
