Oplinger, of Decatur, president of the Illinois Congress of Parents and Teachers, this week endorsed the Iraak Walton's League's statewide essay eontest for school children on the need for ridding streams of disease-breeding wastes. In a letter made public by Robert C. O'Hair, state president of the Izaak Walton League, Mrs. Oplinger said: "Stream pollution is a problem that must be corrected. If school children are interested in this problem through the Izaak Walton League's essay con* test, their parents will be interested, too. An aroused public opinion can rid the state of this menace. While the Illinois Congress of Parents and Teachers are not sponsoring this essay contest, we- are glad to endorse it. Aside from the educational phase it brings into the home, a contest such as this brings the realities of today's problems into the thoughts of our youth." The essay contest is open to all Illinois school children from seventh grade through high school. Officials of public and private schools throughout the state have been provided with full details of the contest. The deadline for essays is Nov. 30, according to Mr. O'Hair. Prizes totaling $300 will be awarded for the best 200-word essays on "Why Illinois Streams Should be Rid of Industrial and Human Wastes."

Each drop of rain, each dark and gloomy cloud adds to my enjoyment of this little sanctuary of home. Just now there is a cake in the oven and a stew on the kitchen stove. Ten feet away the ironing board stands in the 'center of my living room. I can season the stew and read a poem all at one and the same time. I can listen to the wolf-call qf my whistling tea-kettle and take an active interest in the discussion of "grains" going on between my husband and our farmer friend. Joe Deidrich. Joe thinks he takes more chances in growing grains than my husband does ;n trading in grains. This argument will never be settled this season.
