And what a fine program our mothers presented in the evening! It was, as could be expected, a Christ-centered program, under the leadership of Mrs. Linn F. Loshbaagh, and with the following taking part: Mrs. Edwin Dornbush, Mrs. Sidney Martin, Mrs. Geneva Lisenby, Mrs. Frank Anderson Mrs. Richard Oldson and Joan Dornbush. Thank God for true mothers and really Christian homes. It's the nation's first line of defense. As the home goes, so goes the nation. Next Sunday, May 20, we are inaugurating junior Church services for all boys and girls in the age of 5 through ll. These services will be held each Sunday morning at 11 o'clock or at the same hour as the regular morning worship service. This will, we believe, provide a real opportunity for the youngsters to meet in the "Sunshine Hall" (on second floor) for their own worship service, under proper leadership, while their parents attend the regular morning service in the chapel. Other services next Sunday, will be, Sunday School at 10 a.m., morning Worship service at . 11 and evening gospel service at 7:4a. A cordial welcome to all.

The, bass season in southern Illinois closed March 31, to re-open May 15. In the northern zone of the state bass may be taken up to April 30, when the season will be closed until June 15. Girl Scouts , Small Print ghep Cock robin is a slang term for a small printing establishment in England. Could Be Sizes often are deceiving. Sometimes a woman's thumb has a man under it. The Adult Girl Scout association met at the Legion home on May 1, in good attendance. In the course of business, current and future, the Girl Scout program and its relation to home and the community was predominant in the discussions. Mrs. Chas. E. Logan reported on Brownie troop activities. Brownies are now engaged in both indoor and outdoor work. They take hikes and play games and are making gifts for mother's Day. There are places for new girls in Brownie troops (except fourth grade, they must go into third grade). Mrs. Frank Gans and Mrs. Harold Vance reported on the Girl Scout Leaders' conference they a 11 e nd ed on April 27 in Des Plaines. The conference program stressed the "Progression of Program" designed to help build a program of activities which will keep pace with the growth of the girls in Scouting. The progressions will commence with a playway^ for the Brownies; it will take hi a skill-way for the Intermediate girls, and it will provide a specialized hobby-way for the graduate girl. It is suggested that the "must" approach be abandoned in favor of creating a desire to progress. The Girl Scout program helps a girl grow to be a better person ' for a community. It has been dis». covered that some Girl Scouts have organised themselves to be prepared for emergencies such as fires and serious accidents. They have prepared important lists of telephone numbers and tested them by making actual calls and considered the value of good judgement in cases of seriouB accidents. Brownies have adopted shdt-ins for whom they run errands. They made up cards for window display bearing a large letter "B" which the shut-in could display in a window when there was work for a Brownie to do. It has been decided that the dignity of the father and daughter banquet be retained. After much discussion of cost to parents and food prices, it has been decided that to abandon the only annual dinner in the Girl Scout program would deny the girl an experience which is desirable to Sterling Window Shad* and Venetian Jlind Co. 5640 W.

TOTI\G RIGHTS UNUSUAL SUBJECT "Books--A Mail Order Business" is the suhjeet of an Illinois state library exhibit now on display in the centennial building, Secretary of Sihte Edward J. Barrett, state librarian, announces. The theme of the exhibit is the library's services by mail to other libraries, to schools, churches and similar groups throughout Illinois, an activity which is handled largely by the collections unit of the state library, Mr. Barrett said. For the first three months of this year, a total of 36,218 books were sent to various parts of the state. A toy electric train and two large toy trucks are used in the exhibit to illustrate the shipment of books and other library materials by parcel post, express and motor freight, and small replicas of a church and a rural school to illustrate the borrowing groups. Typical requests have been reproduced and are shown in one display case. They include such requests as "Please send all the books you can spare," "We would, like forty books on Eskimos for second and third grade pupils," "May we have bookf for our summer reading p r o g r a m--BOO for primary grades, 850 for middle grades and 500 for teenagers?" The warden of one of the state penal institutions wrote: "Would .you have any material on the elementary level for adults? With the prisoners, we find interest goes out the window when we try -to teach 'The cat runs up the tree.' We need something to stimulate and at the same time interest them to do their best." Other items in the exhibit are r. Mav 17. ittl s of the books scat oat ink answer to requests, and examples, of the way hooks are wrapped for shaping. *1 Alt AH Afttr^A#^ Governor Adlai E.

A forced air mow hay curing system installed now will impf&TP " your hay crop this year, and for years to comef As you know, mow-curing produces higher quality hay and permits you to get more in the barn without the weather worries of field-curing. The hay dries in your mow with the vitamin and mineral- rich leaves'still on the stems. Showers, dew, and prolonged exposure cannot leach away the milk producing factors. Because proteih-rich leaves are retained, along with a rich green color, mowcured hay has a greater cash sale value. When fed, it produces healthier cows and keeps butter fat and milk checks up. In Northern Illinois there are hundreds of progressive farmers using store-bought or home-built systems with many types of air distribution. Standardized, easy-to-assemble and easy-to-store sections make FACTORY-BUILT hay driers adaptable to most barns without extensive remodeling.
