Also From Tuberculosis.^ As a svmbol of that protection. Rockwell Kent, the designer, has used an an eel with outstretched arm on the 1939 seal. Against a brilliant bhie background, the double-barred cross, international symbol of the 'fight aeainst tuberculosis, is prominently displayed. This cross, known as the Lorraine Cross, each year brings • mesdflfee of hope for those who are ill and a call to service for those who are well. Each year a different Christmas seal is printed, but always the double-barpp^ cro^ appears. In 1902 at the fv*t international conference on tuberculosis, the double- | barred cross was adopted as its insignia. Dr. Gilbert Sersiron of Paris is responsible for this cross being used as the emblem. He called it "an emblem of peace and of fraternal un- I derstanding to spread our message j throughout the world." Today we enj roll under the double-barred cross | when we buy and use these seals on J our Christmas mail. Thus, we help j the County. State, and National As- | sociations to continue the research ,and education which better enables us to protect our homes and ourselves from tuberculosis. * ANOEI.. )N*S MILLER Theatre -- Woodstock Air-Conditioned Births FRIDAY -- December 15 '• On the Screen FAST AND FURIOUS' -- with -- Franc hot Tone - Ann Sothern SATURDAY -- December 16 Continuous from 2:30 2 -- Fine Features -- 2 Jcne Withers - Leo Carillo in "CHICKEN WAGON FAMILY" -- PLUS Lynne Overman - Virginia Dale in "DEATH OF A CHAMPIOH" SUNDAY -- MONDAY December 17 • 18 Continuous Sunday from 2:30 Bargain Matinee Till 6:00 GIANT DOUBLE BILL ' 'THUNDER AFLOAT" -- with -- Wallace Beery - Chester Morris -- A N D -- "BEWARE SPOOKS" with Joe E.

Dick Lyons, Jr., of Libertyville, got his airplane back last week, thanks to the consideration of a Libertyville hunter who saw the story about the missing modpl plane in The Independent- Register of four months ago. The plane, a sturdy, gasoline powered racer, got away from young Dick when the automatic gas shut-off would not work. The plane continued on its flight south and came to rest in a tree on the Kildeer farm on South St. Mary's road. A hunter found the plane in perfect condition, "despite four months of exposure, recalled the newspaper story, and called Dick to come get his plane.

Clark out in Wadsworth decides she wants to shop in Waukegan, she simply hops into her car and drives to town. Nothing remarkable about that ? Perhaps not -- except that Mrs. Clark was eighty years old the twenty-second of last month. Says she, "Driving a car is nothing. Goodness, I used to drive horses, so why can't I drive a car? The horses used to run away with folk, and car won't do that, if the drivers have any sense.

Joseph Miller entered the Woodstock public hospital Wednesday morning for medical treatment. Dog Days : Dog days comprise the hot. sultry season of summer during parts o) July and August; so-caiied from tht fact that the rising of the dog-star Sirius, the brightest star in the hea-' ens, is coincident with the rising of the sun. The ancients thought this conjunction caused the intense heat of summer, and the maladies which then prevailed, hence the popular supposition that dogs are specially liable to go mad at this season. It was by mere accident that the rising of the star coincided with the hottest season of the year, in the times and countries of the old astronomers. Its rising depends on the latitude of the place. Poor Safety Warning Trying to avoid a boy standing at the side of a road in Louisville, Ky., the driver of an automobile jerked the wheel. The car overturned and the two occupants went to a hospital. Police explained the "boy" was a life-size statue intended as a safety warning.
