BIG INCREASE SHOWN IN YEAR'S T. B. SEAL CAMPAIGN OVER 1940 According to Mra. Marie Johnson, county chairman, the net proceeds of the annual Christmas T. B. seal campaign in McHenry county showed an increase the past year over 1940. The 1941 net total was $1,760.54 and in 1940 was $1,133.42, or an increase of some six hundred dollars. Gross returns for. 1941 was $2,824.80 with twenty-fivs per cent being sent to the Illinois T. B. Association. Expenses were $283.05. _ ^ Mails were used ^ast year in conducting the sale in rural area& with good results.

W - -.4 January Milk Prices Continue to Decline . lite decline, in the price of milk in the Chicago federal milk marketing area, which started last December, continued through January, it was revealed by A. W. Colebank, acting market administrator, through his announcement that all milk producers in the area, under order 41, as amended, will receive a blended price of $2.54 per hundredweight of 3.5 test, 70-mile zone, for all milk delivered January 1 - 31, 1942. This is six cents per hundredweight less than the December, 1941, blended price, eleven cents per hundredweight under the November blended price and five cents per hundredweight below the October, 1941, blended price. The reduction is the natural seasonal result of increased supplies oi milk coming on the market as production swings toward the flush season. INTERESTING NEARBY NEWS War department communiques late Saturday, Feb. 14, confirmed advance reports that Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Philippine commander, had awarded the distinguished service cross to Sergeant LeRoy Anderson, 23, of Burlington, Wis., for extraordinary heroism in action on the Bataan peninsula. Sergeant Anderson is the first United States draftee of the war to receive the high award. He entered the army January 29, 1941. jEfbnvinced that the fire at the Oliver McLain residence in Harvard the night of Friday, Feb. 13, is a clea» case of arson, R. E. Lush, Harvard fire marshal, and James Steams of Antioch^ a deputy fire marshal, are investigating circumstances connected with the blaze. Suspicious of the origin of the fire due to the fact that no one was living in the residence, Chief Lush and his men investigated. Th:?y discovered a small bundle of rags, soaked with kerosene^ that had been shoved down between the wall and siding from the attic. Barrington churches are co-operating in encouraging a "Minute of Prayer" at six o'clock each evening during the duration of the war by the ringing of church bells to remind people of their tryst, it was announced last week. Under the national conference of Christians and Jews, Catholics, Protestants and Jews all over the world have been urged to stop for a moment of prayer for the suffering and looking forward to a better world after war. Chris Schulz of Crystal Lake, whose dog died when he was taken to the hospital, is at ease to what happened to "Bonnie." Mr. Schylz plans to stay at the county hospital until about April 1. Wm. P. All™, superintendent, told him that the army needed ' Bonnie" and she was given over to the forces to do her bit. "I'm glad they wanted her," said Chris. "She't pretty old and probably won't last long but it is <ust as well that you sent her to thtnv" Mr. Schulz will not likely ever know the dog died of ]onenomeness for him while he wa* away.
