E. Mallalieu, director of anniversary activities for the National . Board of Fire Underwriters, the total amount of the fire losses in the United States during 1940 would purchase forty-five cruisers for the United States Navy. '"Hie total of the losses in three such year as that of 1940 would have paid for the entire maintenance of the Nary last year^--and there would have been enough left over to buy a heavy cruiser." These startling comparisons were used by Mr. Mallalieu to illustrate the significance of the slogan "National Defense Through Fire Defense," adopted by the National Board of Fire 1 Underwriters as the theme of its nation- wide campaign of public fire prei vention education recently launched in commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of this association of 200 capital stock fire insurance companies. Said Mr. Mallalieu: 'This figure should cause every American to stop and think of his own individual responsibility in the matter of fire prevention, particularly at this critical time, when the country is straining every effort toward adequate, : national defense. Such tremendous i losses are especially deplorable in view of the fact that most fires are the result of carelessness and could be prevented. "Nationally prominent individuals and groups are ^actively participating with the National Board of Fire Un- > derwriters in its current campaign for 'National Defense Through Fire Defense.'* SCHOOL ORCHESTRA PRESENTS CONCERT THIS EVENING, 8?15 Dent forget that the high school orchestra will give its animal concert tonight, Thursday, in the high school auditorium for your entertainment, instead of tomorrow evening, Friday, as originally planned. Since there are about ten 'more members in the orchestra this year, twenty-eight in all, and because more instruments have been brought into this organisation, the performance this evening should be far superior to the one which was presented last year. Paul R. Yattda will direct the orchestra. and if one may judge by the splendid showing the high school band has made undsar his able direction, the orchestra is ^sfided for big thins* in - ' • ' IKTMSTIK8 HEMHtY NEWS Sheldon Clark of Barrington, noted sportsman and vice-president of Consolidated Oil Co., was named chairman of the Illinois Athletic commission by Governor Dwight Green Tuesday, March 25. He will succeed Joseph TViner of Chicago. v A commercial 'cooking class for boys, believed to be the only one of its kind in the United States, has proved to be the most popular course, among the LaGrange Township High school { fellows at least, ever instituted at the j high school. Only seventeen fellows were lucky enough to make the class, ; for registrations were closed two j weeks ahead of time. On lab days, it's an easy job to find Doug Jabaay, big Lion football tackle, cooking up a nifty souffle, or A1 Sipek, king of the Lion harriers, with the rest of the class, putting up a tasty salad. Woodstock gave McHenry county's largest draft contingent to date a fine send-off last Friday at 7:17 a.m. Through the co-operation of the Amer ican Lecrion a band played to speed the draftees on their way toward the- Chicago induction center. Arthur Meyer, Antioch, lost three of his toes and part of a fourth toe on his right foot, by amputation Saturday, March 22, after they had been crushed between an elevator and the floor in the plant of the Antioch Packing company. Employed by Lawrence Yopp, of Grass Lake road, plasterer, Meyer was using the elevator to move materials. He was taken to St. Therese hospital in Waukegan. There will be hardly a vacant home, apartment, store, office or factory in Waukegan by June, forecasting a jump in rents and a possible building boom in every section of the municipality. Richard Shaw»of Elgin, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Orson A. Shaw, who enlisted in the United States navy in January and has been in training at the Great Lakes station, won a signal honor, when he was one of two men out of 120 to pass a competitive test, winning entrance to the naval electrical trade school at Detroit. Statistics show that tewer youths are enrolling in the various CCC camps, and the question of the future maintenance of the organization may soon be raised. The causes for the small enrollment are listed mainly as the drafting of young men into the army and increased opportunities in private employment. Hermine Vajdik and Mildred Sersen, members of the Monday night bowling league at the Fox River GrOve Recreation alleys, set a new doubles record in their division of the American Women's Bowling Tournament, recently ended in Chicago. The two young ladies came through with a mark of 907 to top the record mark of 904 set in 1940. William Quigley, of Green Bay road, about a half mile atfflfc of Rockland road, near Waukegfn,* was puzzled last Thursday by five holes in the bottom of each of three sailbeats he is building in his workshop. "Someone entered the shop last year about this time," Quigley told Deputy Sheriffs Julian Claude and Robert Jenkins," and did similar damage." During the period April 1 to June 1, daily except Sunday, the water area east of Fort Sheridan to a distance of ten miles north and ten miles south, will be subject to missiles of antiaircraft firing between the hours of 7 a. m. and 10 p. m. All vessels are requested to avoid the danger zone or expediate passage through it. SCHOOL BAND MERITS 1st DIVISION RATING IN CONTEST MARCH 29 Last Saturday, March 29, the high school band went to Elmhurst, 111., where it competed with six other bands in Class C (high schools having 280 or less pupils) and won a first division rating. Of the seven bands in the contest, three took a first division, one a second division and three a third division. The band played three numbers: first, a warm-up march, "The Billboard" by Klohr; second, a number chosen from the contest list, the "Horizon Overture" by Buys, and third, a number wh><*h ali of the seven bands, with the exception of one, were required play, "The Crusaders Over. ture"l>y BuchteL ., After pUgFinc, these thx«p . pieces, the bind went to a room where the group sight-read two numbers, a march, "The Vulcan," by Farrell, and an overture, "Intrepidant" by E. De Lamater. These two ye re numbers that had never been exposed for sale, thereby giving all bands an equal chance, since none had seen than before. There were two judges for the three required numbers and both said the local band did a very fine job. One judge said, "Your band has good tone, precision, and control." The other judge stated, "You have a fine band and are doing a good job; you gave a pleasing performance and have {food musicianship." They judged the band on such qualities as tone, intonation (playing in tune), interpretation, etc., and the band got almost all A's in every point. There was only one judge for the sight reading, and he remarked, "Your band played very nicely." Even though there were two first division bands besides McHenry, only one other got a first division in both t the required numbers and in the sight reading. _ I For doing such a fine job and taking a first division rating, each band member will get a gold medal and the whole band will get a certificate. Also, now that it has won a first division, the band will go to the sectional contest for class C bands which will be held May 2 and 3, the days on which the high school orchestra contest will also be held at Glen Ellyn. The band extends its appreciation and gratitude to the following people who furnished cars for the trip to Elmhurst: Ray Page, Mrs. Lester Page, Mrs. Paul Schwerman, Elmer Baum, C. H. Duker, Amy Harrison, John Doherty, Robert Stilling, Gordon Scholle, Kenneth Cristy and Director. Paul R. Yanda. HEART DISEASE FATAL TO MRS. FRED NIEMANN THOMPSON, 91, OF WOODSTOCK DIRS On Saturday evening, March 29, 1941, at about tern o'cokk, McHenry relatives were informed of the sad news that Mrs. Barbara Huemann, nee Worth, had just passed away at St. Theire.se s hospital in Waukegan, where she had been confined for the past three months. .

"All fonper high records of production of milk and dairy products have been broken thi« winter. Production in March will increase sharply and by June may reach a peak higher than any previous time in seventeen years of record," says -the USDA 'Agricultural Situation" for February. "The situation is likely to continue it reports, "since there are large numbers of cows on farms and plenty of feed. Farm prices of dairy products have been the highest since 1937; and farm income from dairying this year may be the largest in a decade."

No children were born to this couple and she leaves no brothers or sisters. However, several nieces and nephews are left to mourn her passings The deceased was born at Waukegan on March 18, 1878, the daughter of the late George and iBarbara Chevalier Worth. Her father was also a native of Waukegan, while her mother was born in Germany; She became an expert dressmaker. After her marriage to Fred Huemann, the couple made their home on the old Huemann homestead near Johnsburg. About twenty years ago they moved to the home on Riverside Drive where they spent the remainder of their lives. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning from the Pteter M. Justen funeral home in West McHenry to St. Patrick's church at ten o'clock. Interment was in St. Mary's cemetery. She was a member of the Altar and Rosary sodality of St. Patrick's church. REMOVE LILY LAKE OUSTER CASE FROM DOCKET ON FRIDAY By ordering that the ease of some forty-four citizens of Lily Lake against present Lily Lake officials be stricken from the docket Friday morning for lack of jurisdiction, Judge William L. Pierce quickly put an end to the "ouster case" filed on March 17. The petition asking that the present officials be ousted was headed by Claud F. McDermott, W. E. Swanson and T. C. Klabough. Included in the charges were that the officials were not residents of Lily billion pounds in 1940 and i\.& billion in 1989 and 11.0 billion average for the ten years 1929 - 38. The quantity does not appear excessive, in view of the good consumer demand for milk and dairy products," the publication says. According to this report the "government and private agencies are engaged in many ways in trying to increase the use of milk by consumers." "In February and the first half of March production of milk and dairy products continued at an unprecedented high level for the season, but there are few signs of over-production," says USDA'S 'Dairy Production* for March. "Milk production in February," the report continues, is "estimated at a little over eight billion pounds--about six per cent higher than February 1940. In January and February daily production was per capita ten per cent above the average in the same months, 1935 - 39 and higher, relative to overage for the season, than in any month since 1932. Nevertheless, liberal feeding of grains and high protein concentrates is probably the principal cause of the high milk production." "Prices of most dairy products appear to be holding close to the 1935-39 averages for the same months with <ptly small fluctuations. Prices of foodstuffs at wholesale are now about ninety per cent of the five year average at this season," Dairy Prouction concluded. rVesfentation of official volunteer service pins to two veteran knitters, Mrs. Gertrude Justen, 80, West McHenry, and Mrs. Carrie Mansfield, 80, Woodstock, is announced by McHenry county Red Cross chapter. Both women received the honor in recognition of the valuable contribution they are making to the war relief garment production program of the county chapter. Mrs. Justen was the first knitter to volunteer with the McHenry garment branch and she has given nearly 400 hours to making garments for civilian refugees. Mrs. Mansfield was among the earliest volunteers enrolled in Woodstock and she has 4oa* bsafs than 800 hours work. , s . ABOUND THE ! COURT HOUSE ItOB SUMMBR HOMES Deputy Sheriff Harold E.
