So say two of the very few people engaged in that line of endeavor in this area, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Greener of the j came brought them down to sea level a few hundred feet at a time. Reaching the coast with fourteen alive, he traveled by boat to California. Near the equator he had to pack them in ice. Eleven of them through alive %nd from Doable R Chinchilla ranch, ,lo-. them are descended practically This is a close-up of one ef the chinchillas raised on the Double R Chinchilla ranch. The black eyes and large ears contribute to the Unusual appearance of this intelligent-looking, curious little animal Whose fur is the highest priced on Ihe market. Chinchillas are quite tame and seldom bite. cated off the Crystal Lake black- {p road, five miles south of Mcenry. The raising a*# breeding of genuine South American chin- . chillas 1b developing into one of the country's leading industries. Because of its romatic past and Introduction to civilization, no other fur bearing animal has had such a colorful history as the chinchilla. > The South American chinchilla the possessor of what is said • to be about the finest and most valuable fur known to man. It is blue gray In color, soft and light aa thistle-down and yet has good Storing qualities. • In 1923 an American mining engineer, M. P. Chapman, trapped eighteen chinchilla^, all that he could find in three years with the help of Indian hunters. He all1 the chinchillas in America. Because of * the fact the animal does not have an offensive odor, lice or fleas, it is possible to raise them in various places. Many people have started raising them as a hobby or business in a dry well ventilated basement or an Insulated garage. . Chinchillas ^islike handling and when caUght will struggle to be free. However, they .seldom bite unless badly frightened. The female is the boss of the chinchilla household, for being the larger of the two animals she makes good use of this advantage. All the animals at the Double R Chinchilla ranch are pedigreed and registered or subject to register in the National Chinchilla Breeders association.

Paul G. Arm-, strong, state Selective Service director. This figure represents approximately 11.1 per cent of the national call for the month, which totals tt,000 men. OoL Armstrong said. Reason for the relatively large call made upon this state is the fact that Illinois has furnished a proportionately small number of men to the military services through volunteer enlistments and has had few reserves and National Guardsmen called into service as compared with the national average. The monthly Selective Service quota is computed by crediting each state for enlistments and for reservists and Guardsmen called to duty. Col. Armstrong explained. Thus Illinois. with proportionately few credits, has to make up the difference by inducting men. "Although the Au&ust call represents the largest percentage of the national quota that we have so far been required to furnish, it does not mean that this state has beep 'overcalled'the state director said. "It simply means that Illinois has to supply its share of men for the Armed Forces in one way or the otkqr. If not enough men enlist. Selective Service must make up the deficit". July Top Month For Accidents July is the most dangerous month for accidents!!! The Greater Chicago Safety council issues a special warning to all persons to be extremely careful during the month since statistics show that last year July topped every other month of the yearB for lives lost by drowning, excessive heat, food poisonings and falls. A total of 189 persons lost their lives in Chicago in this manner in July. 1950. One of the important reasons for July's heavy toll is the Independence Day celebration, according to the Council. In the past five years. July's accident losses in Chicago have been 15 per cent higher than that of the average month. One-fifth of all drownings occur in July, tp the main, the greater percentage of such accidents oc* cur at unguarded beaches and swimming l^lea. Falls in the home, at work, and in the streets, killed fifty-one persons in Chicago last July. The motor vehicle death toll tor that month was thirty-six. • Howard L. Willett, president of the Council, has laid down a few Staple rules for everyone, particularly vacationists, in an effort to reduce the toll antmally recorded for the whole vacation period. They are:. 1- Take it easy on the road. Start in( time. Don't take chances in passing, especially on hills and curves. Keep sides of the car clear of campingv equipment, so that vision is not obstructed. 2. Don't overdo in exercise, eating. and exposure to the sun. 3. If you swim--don't go in alone or when 'dverheated. Wait an hour after eating. Knew the depth of the water. Don't show off Jir indulge in horseplay. 4. If you go boating be sure that a lllc preserver is in the boat. 5. Clean up broken bottles so that no one- can step on pieces of glass. Be sure all beach and picnic fires are extinguished. ^Jtalnei Metal . The United States--despite itl part in the discovery of the metal and the fact that columbium was oatned for "Columbia"--is negligible as a source. At peak periods, this nation has accounted for only a few thousand pounds annually, gained in connection with mica, quartz, beryl, and other mining.
