A social event of more than ordinary interest occurred at McHenry, Dec. 13, in the marriage of John Der* mont, of Richmond, and Miss Sarah Parkfer, daughter of Winslow Parker, formerly of McHenry. 'First Planters' Landed In Virginia April 26, 1607 The "First Planters" of "the Southern Colony of Virginia" landed at Cape Henry on April 26, 1607. Crowded aboard three small shire-- the Sarah Constant (100 tons), the Goodspeed (40 tons), and the Discovery (20 tons) -- the colonists sailed from London on December 19, 1606.

This applies to automobile owners who live outside the 17 eastern states where rationing has been put into effect, as well as to those who reside inside the rationed area. In order to save as much of the East's limited petroleum supply as ^possible for essential use, the card rationing plan must drastically rescript the travel of .the pleasure, or non-essential, driver, OPA officials {tainted out. Tourists from outside the ' 17 i rationed states will be subject tq the same regulations when they enter the rationed area. Signs along the highways at all entry points will direct visitors to apply at the nearest rationing board for a ration card. Service station attendants will be able to give information regarding the location of these boards. The board will be authorized to issue such visitor an "A" ration card promptly, except in the case of ; those entering the area on business. Such excepucns will be eligible for ; cards that will provide for their needs. But the vacationist, as Well as all other pleasure drivers^ will be able to obtain no more rations than do the same class of drivers ! in the rationed area. ; ,, - ppsf^sf| Jail 50,000 Jews fn Old Fortress •'We* Miss Lydia Tietz is the recipient of beautiful set of furs sent to her as Christmas present from her brother waters running through the woods who is doing service in the navy and at' the present time stationed at New Orleans, La.

According to American"'Institute of Laundering research experts, it's a dyestuff in the "fugitive" class. That means, it is subject to fading and bleeding. And, it's allergic to a few of the things you yourself probably like--such as grapefruit and lemon juices. Good, honest perspiration affects it, also. Should you be wondering whether you're sporting a benzopurpurinedyed creation, just get careless some morning with your grapefruit and catapult a few drops on your nifty red cotton flannel shirt. If the point of contact turns blu£--eureka! Benzopurpurine has come down to breakfast with you. The color change is caused by the fact that benzopurpurine Is blue when on the "sour" side and red when alkaline. Your shirt win regain its ruddiness if sufficient alkalinity is introduced in the launder* ing process. Makers of Furniture Produce War Goods Airplane trainers and gliders instead of wooden office desks; ammunition boxes instead of metal letter-trays and waste baskets; and airplane fuel lines instead of chrome plated chair legs--this is the story of the conversion program for the furniture industry, the country's second largest producer of consumers' durable goods. The industry in normal times produces metal and wooden furniture for the home and the office valued at about $1,000,000,000 annually, second in dollar value to consumers' goods only to the automobile- industry. Today, makers of furniture all over the country are rapidly changing over their tools and facilities not only to the production of wooden airplanes and gliders, but to a wide variety of other war items. Prime contracts and subcontracts held by the industry exceed $500,000,000. Appreciable increases in ' the rate of production of war goods are expected to be evident by the end of 1942. The rate of war production by the middle of next year is expected to be equal to the recent annual production of civilian items. War equipment soon to be produced in quantity by metal fiuni- ! ture companies includes ammuni- ! tion boxes, tail and wing assemblies j for airplanes, rear fln struts, and ! seating equipment for planes, tanks i and ships. The industry, of course, ! will continue to make types of metal furniture needed by the armed services here and abroad. Sick Are Dfing Like Flies in Underground Dungeons. LONDON.--Fifty thousand Jews from Germany and Czechoslovakia have been thrown into the Austro- Hungarian fortress at Terezin and several thousand who are ill or charged with "criminal" acts are in underground dungeons where they are "dying like fliefe," a Czech gov* ernment spokesman said. I Everyone sleeps on damp floors and each is given only enough food to keep alive. "All hope for them has been abandoned," the spokesman said, adding that Jewish leaders in the Czech protectorate had received demands from the Nazis to prepare 15,000 other Jews for deportation. The Spokesman said the Germans had launched a campaign to exterminate Jews f^om the protectorate arid that of 40,000 Jews formerly in Prague only 15,000 now remain.' The JeWs at Terezin are said to include 7,000 young men and women who are forced to work on farms or build barracks. Outside fortress walls thousands of other Jews live in concentration camps where conditions are said to be "horrible." A European observer said the Germans planned to exterminate the Jews, not - only in Europe but throughout the world. "Extermination is the word," he said, "with a little torture thrown in to gratify the higher nature of the metaphysical and mystical Germans." He declared the Nazis had executed 2,000,000 Jews in the past three years and that hundreds of thousands of others had been deported from Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other European countries.

That was the war cry- among more than 1,000 tribesmen from Oklahoma, New Mexico and other states as Massachusetts observed "Indian day" in recognition of the aid the Redmen gave to the white pioneers of the Bay colony. Since Massachusetts now has only a comparatively few of her own to honor, the presence of the Devens warriors gives the state its greatest population of Indians since the days of the Puritans.

How the building is to be financed and who will pay its operating costs are * ripp questions which should be faced be- Airrn fore any attempt is made to build. • u An intelligent and public-spirited committee should be chosen whose duty it will be to get definite answers to the following questions: (1) Does the community favor a medical center project? (2) Can a suitable site be agreed upon and secured? (3) What will it cost, or is there a citizen who will donate the site? (4) Is the county, or other local unit willingana able financially--to levy a sufficient tax to. build and maintain the center? (5) Is there a person or group of persons available who can be trusted to administer the center properly? If such questions can be answered satisfactorily, and if the community is whole-heartedly behind the project, then it will be safe to proceed with the establishment •f an adequate medical center.

It doesn't matter particularly, according to Prof. Joseph Fi O'Brien 0? Pennsylvania State college, so long as your pronunciation is acceptable to educated people in the section where you live. ^ "Too many teachers have become nearsighted in the matter of pronunciation," Professor O'Brien said. "If two or three pronunciations are permissible for a particular word, children should be allowed to use whichever is most natural to them> "Where dictionaries give a choice, there is often a very close margin in their selection of the one which comes .first," Professor O'Brien declared. "It is foolish to insist that children in the Middle West use a broad 'a' in such words as 'bath,' 'can't,' 'laugh,', and 'dance' when such usage is common only in New England and among certain portions of the population of New York city." Undue stress on pronunciation may lead to ridiculous results, he added. Using "nate-yure" for "nature" and "fort-ytme" for "fortune," for example, is clumsy and is seldom heard outside a classroom.
