SPECIAL INSTRUCTION MUSIC AVAILABLE IN RURAL 80H00L8 On the evening .of April 6, approximately five hundred children from forty-five different schools were on the stage of the Community high school in a countyseat town of southern Illinois. They were outfitted with twenty-three different types of orchestral instruments, including accordions, violins, trumpets, drums, clarinets, marimbas, etc. The director lifted his baton. A lively tune was struck up and an interesting evening's entertainment was begun. Yes, children can be instructed in music in the rural schools. In this particular case, four different teachers travel from school to school and give instruction in music, both vocal and instrumental. The culminating event of the year is this big "Music Festival" held at the countyseat. Other methods are being used to instruct children in music in rural schools. The phonograph method, the radio method, and in many cases by individual teachers giving instruction in their own individual classrooms. Yes, many counties are giving instruction in music in the rural schools, and many are now having county music festivals similar to the one described above. . . / ; f GIRL SCOUTS ' Ouif Investiture ceremony will be Monday, May 10.

NYE'S Jewelry Store & y. . - •.4 1 Thnnday, May 6, IMS Courses in Radio Proving Invaluable in Signal Corps "Tell the boys in the Radio clais to learn all they can, for it will help them to get ahead in the army." This message came in a letter a few days ago to the principal of one of our Illinois high schools. It was sent from a boy now in the Army Signal Corps, somewhere in the South Pacific. The message must have been heartening to this principal, because he has for the past year and a half been conducting a class in Radio in his high school. Hie boy was in his class last year. A high school visitor visited this high school a few days ago, and spent some time in this Radio class. One senior boy had just completed making a "transmitter" out of junk materials taken from old radio sets. This boy told the visitor that he was expecting to join the navy just as soon as school closed. Another member of the class had already signed up with the marines. All the boys are trained in the International Morse Code, both in sending and receiving. Ay- PRESSURE COOKERS 70R CANNING ADDED TO RATIONING LIST Sowing Small Sm4 ' ' Success with indoor-sown seeds of small size depends largely on covering them. Very small seeds are sown on the surface of the prepared seed box and merely pressed into close contact with the soil. A thin layer of dry sphagnum moss rubbed through a fine sieve is placed on top to keep the soil surface moist. As the dry moss is very slow to absorb moisture, the pan should be watered before the moss is placed in position. In a day or so it will be saturated with water absorbed from the soil below. Thereafter use a fine syringe for moistening to prevent washing the moss out of position. ('Permanent* Waves? America's first beauty parlor was established in Philadelphia in 1868. Pressure cookers for the canning of surplus Victory Garden products have been added to the list of rationed farm machinery, Lester J. Norris, chairman of the Victory Gardens committee, Illinois State Council of Defense, re: ported to Gov. Green. t j Women who want to buy one of the] new cookers must obtain a purchase certificate from their farm rationing committee. Both rural and urban residents will be eligible to apply for the certificates. Since farm rationing boards may not have been established in some urban counties, extension of the program is urged through appointment of special pressure cooker rationing committees. Norris said that group applicants such as garden clubs, church organizations and neighborhood pools of families who agree to use the cookers in groups will receive first consideration for purchases. He added that the 150,000 cookers being manufactured constitute an increase of 86,000 over those produced last year and that efforts are being made to still further increase the production authorized by Warmer tn New EnglaaA An ancient Indian fish trap of 000 stakes, with a two-acre spread, was unearthed in excavating for a building at Boston.

For every hero in a war plant too, there's a mother busy all day marketing, cooking, cleaning, washing: but not too busy to see that his sleep isn't disturbed by day, because his is a night shift: not too busy to give him a hearty meal whatever hour he gets home. Always sweet, courageous, gracious and of good cheer: making the best of little, doing anything and everything which will help her country--her boy--win, mother renders most distinguished service on the home front: and every son and daughter in the land salutes her! .
