I The choir mothers met the other evening and made plan? for the j choirs this year. This grou]» will meet the first Wednesday evening of the month. Anyone interested in the choir is invited to attend. Last Thursday some thirty youiiffsters met at the church at 3:15 and registered for choir. Mrs. Donald Blount and Mrs. - Peter Roche will direct the Cherub Choir. Mrs. Donal.l Barger and Mrs. Wayne Price will have charge of the junior group. Both choirs will practice on Thursday at 3:15. The Annual McHenry County £hurch Clinic will meet on Tuesday evening from Oct. 12 through Nov. 9. This year the (Leadership School for Sunday School teachers and officers is entirely different, as each evening will be given to one single depart ment. Outstanding leaders have bee" engaged to lead the sessions. Yo don't have to be a teacher of Sunday School to attend these sessions but if you are interested in' Christian cdu-! cation for your children and for your1 community you will be more than welcome. The following schedule fon the clinic will be observed: 6:30 pot-luck supper; 7:30, the Forum and Workshop; 9:25, Devotions. The; dates and place of the first two meetings are as follows: October 12, at the Congregational church of Crystal Lake, subject, "Teaching the Pre-, school Child;" Oct. 19 at the Methe-; dist church of Woodstock, subject,, "Reaching Our^Youth With Christian j Education" (Grades 7 and 8, high] school and post-high.)

You are cordiallyl invited to join us in our classes, if\ there is J no class for you at preseny bring ai friend and we will see what can be' done. Our Sunday School is the largest it has been in several years, but as long as there are those outside the church no school is large j enough. There is a place for youj and a job for you In the church and in the church school. Come and fill it. There are many who say, '"Oh I cannot engage in any such work. I can't afford to take the time. I have a home or a business to care for. I have assumed obligations which I cannot set aside. In a certain sens# they are right, yet they are also terribly wrong. The Christian task that awaits them and is theirs is just as important and is needed just as much as the ministry rendered by those in the pulpit, or the platforms of our churches, or on the mission- j ary field in the foreign land. Many] years ago Jesus said, "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye d® them." "See you in church Sunday. Lift Insuranct Lipst Rat* IMTMMS IINM War's End Although life insurance policy lapses have increased since the end of the war, reflecting the greater pressure of living costs on American families, the rate of such lapses is still about half the average for the decade of the' '30s, the Institute of Life Insurance reports. Policy lapses and surrenders have Increased materially since 1944, when the all-time low was reached, but the total life insurance outstanding and the policy funds also have risen sharply. Life insurance owned today is nearly 70 per cent over the 1940 figure. Policy reserves, a rough measure of the funds available to policy-holders, have risen by twothirds in these same years. Consequently, the ratio of policy lapses and surrenders for cash to total policies in force, while up from j the abnormally low level of the midwar years, is still well under prewar levels. The 1947 ratio of ordinary insurance lapses, 3.5 per cent, compares with 2.8 per cent in 1946 and 2.2 per cent at the low point of 1944. The average rate for the decade of the '30s, however, was 8.3 per cent. Industrial insurance lapses have followed the same general trend. Even more striking is the trend of policy cash surrender value payments. The aggregate of such payments currently is running at nearly twice the payments npade In 1944 when the surrender rate was at an all-time low, - SMt VMm Drlvar Task . Ovtrlaakatf la Maay States Applicants for drivers' licenses are tested in 33 of the 48 states for their, ability to see straight ahead, but in only 8 states for side vision, according to Better Vision institute Side vision is* very important to a driver, but some people have what is called "tunnel vision," or a limited visual field which only includes the area directly ahead. Persons with little or no side vision are no> a major problem to the licensing authorities, because they usual I > realize that their eyesight is imperfect, and act accordingly. However, the institute reports, those with only partly restricted side vision frequently are involved in driving accidents, sometimes because they an unaware of their visual deficiencies and sometimes because they ignore or try to conceal them. The problem is similar to that ot deafness. Partly deaf drivers are nearly always more dangerous thar. totally deaf ones, because the partly deaf are likely either to underesti mate the degree of their shortcoming or try to hide it, while the totally deaf realize their handicap and make every effort to compensate for it. In the same way, a person with seriously restricted side vision "IF aware of his condition and knows that he must be extra-vigilant it his driving if he attempts to become a driver at all. He makes his eye.«- rove about, turns his head and pays alert attention to traffic conditions ahead in order to anticipate com plications.

(POLITICAL ADVERTISING) TO THE VOTERS i" It Jias been ^matter of great regret to me that because of illness, I*have.not been able to take a very active part in the current political campaign. That is why I would like to present in writing my view of whal is perhaps the basic issue ^f the campaign. ' I hear over the radio and read in tlie news]>ai>ei> the speeches of the leading candidates of both political parties. In reading and listening to the speeches, I find just one thing lacking. Usually in a presidential cam paign, it has been a time-honored custom for the leading candidates of both i>olitical paities to point with pride, as.the saying goes, to the record of their party when it was in power. This year, although I have listened to the Republican presidential and vice-presidential candidates, as well as other shakers, I have yet to hear a single one of them "point with, pride" to their party record when they were last in power in Washington in 1U3-. I wonder..whyT Cou'd it be that they are not too proud of that record? That must be the answer. Occasionally-over the radio Repub 1 ican ipeakers blast away at what they call the sixteen, years of the New Deal. But I have never yet heard them advocate the repeal of many of the laws that were enacted during that period. For example, I have never heard them urge tlie rej>eal of the Minimum Wago and the Social Security laws that are so beneficial to the working class. I have never heard them ask the repeal of the Finn price support Act and the other laws that have helped' so much to improve farm conditions. They never advocate the repeal of the Security Exchange Act or the Federal Bank Deposit Insurance law that guarantees the safety of bank deposits. It must be conceded though that the Republican high command is smart*. Their strategy is silence about the record of their party when they were in control in 1982. They -know full well that if they were,to brag or "point with pride" to that record it might cause the voters to remember, and. rememberinir make comparisons, thereby insuring the election of President Truman and the Democratic ticket. ^ f The question then is whether the voters have forgotten or whetjter they remember. That is what will decide the election. . . V Resistant* of Diphtheria Inertastd by Niw Mixture A comparatively new method erf immunizing children against diphtheria and whooping cough gives better protection from diphtheria than immunizing against the disease separately and "confers su. stantial protection" aga:nst whnnn ing cough, according to Dr. Joseph A. Bell, senior surgeon of the u .. public health service at Bethesda. Md. The method, states Dr. Bell »n the Journal of the American Medical association, consists of 'niert n* an alum-treated mixture of whooping cough vaccine ano dipm. toxoid in two doses, four weeks apart. Its worth in preventing epidemics of the disease is indicated by the simplification of the manner of immunization and by tne i n creased protective value against diphtheria. Injections are effective in babies as young as two to five months of age against both diseases, Dr. Bell states, and side reactions are "few and negligible." ... Diphtheria toxoid is the poison developed by diphtheria germs. Vhich, when treated with alum or another substance so that it is not harmful, stimulates the body to build up resistance against the disease. The alum-treated type of toxoid has been recognized since 1940 for immunization against diphtheria. The whooping cough vaccine used in the mixture is one selected by Dr. Bell as "promising for general use." Stvjbg oi IBCIMM With clothing costs at an all-time high and with the constantly changing fashions, more and more homemakers aw turning to their sewing machines. Figures show that the number of women making many of their clothes has increased more than 190 per cent over five years ago. Theae women are not making simple aprons and housedresses, but are going in for current fashion, and they are buying the best materials available. Those whd sew at home find many of the new styles easy to duplicate. The ballerina skirt and the flareback bell-shaped coat are readily copied by beginning seamstresses. The amount of patterns sold at pattern counters is more than double the number sold before , the war. Sewing machines are selling almost as fast as tt\ty can be manufactured-- with an actual increase of at least 200 per cent during the past 10 years. y\ Cotton as an Insulator Whan the department of agriculture found a method for flameprooflng cotton eight years ago, primary use for the new insulating material was in homes. Front that one use, cotton insulation now has spread to more than a score of new fields. Diesel locomotive manufacturers find the product" from southern farms the most efficient for insulating cabs, while other railroad equipment manufacturers are using the fleeCy material in refrigerator and passenger cars. Cold drihk boxes, hot water heaters, prefabricated houses and refrigerated trucks use hundreds or thousands of pounds of cotton insulation each year. One of the most novel uses is in a "coffee hot," a hat-shaped device which keeps coffee hot for two hours when placed over the coflee-maker. Heart Attack for Dags Owners of dogs are advised that allowing them to chase speeding cars is not conducive to a long or healthy life for the dog. Exercise is necessary for dogs, but overdoing It can lead to fatal heart trouble, according to American Veterinary aasociation. Many owners do not realize that there is a definite limit on the amount of physical strain a dog's heart can withstand. Other types of unusual strain likewise may bring on fatal cardiac involvement, as can feverproducing infectious diseases, such as canine distemper. In fact, nearly any serious disease may lead to cardiac ailments. Many types of canine heart disease could be avoided, veterinarians believe, if all owners would follow a "rational schedule" in caring for their pets.
