We stopped yesterday in a brand new restaurant just east of Elgin on Route 19 for a cup of coffee coming home from 4-H camp. The proprietor had two one dollar bills pasted on the wall, the first; two he took in. They used to put up one. , We have just returned from 4-H camp. This year it was very pleasant but hot. There were seventy-nine people there from McHenry county including Betty Coughlin, home adviser; Sibyl Seare, assistant home adviser; Gene Brown, assistant farm adviser; your old cow hand; and Sharon Sells, Wonder Lake; Alice Clark, Woodstock; and Bob Peterson, McHenry; as counselors. The new cabins are a treat after putting up with tents for a number of years. They are cooler when it's hot and dry when it rains. Slamming screen doors are the only distraction but they do help in keeping track of the kids. Other counties there at the same time we were included Cook, Lake and Kane, making a total of 240 campers, eighty boys and 160 "girls. We had twenty-one boys and fifty-two girls. This shows the shortage of farm labor and that the family-sized farm still is extremely in evidence. Four days under such type of existence is wonderful for the youngsters. It's different &om School in that more tolerance for the other fellow is necessary. There is nothing noisier than a cabin of about fourteen boys, age 12, getting ready to hit the hay Tag JKHWpy PLAMPfc'fg. unless it's a ethin full of ftrla that age. Cabin inspection every fnorting at 8:30 puts them on their beet clean-up behavior. The cabin that gets the dirty eock over the door has to clean the washroom and the grounds. Every year there is one fond mamma who has to take her boy to his cabin and pee that he gets his bed made and his clothes hung up properly. I tried to dist courage the one last year but* found it discouraging. I told her he would get his bed made some way--that was what camp was for. A mature man takes groups on hikes every day to learn poison weeds, how to identify trees and plants, rock formations, etc. One morning at 5 a.m. he has a bird hike. This year the group of eighty identified twenty-three different kinds of birds. The creek is dammed up with rocks and many learn to swim in the hands of two competent instructors. Sharon Sells assisted the camp man on this. A craft instructor helps them to make many things out of wood, leather, paper, etc., and a recreation director supervises games, sports, ~ games and - folk square dancing on the grass. Public Service C<r. of Northern Illinois has two people there, a lady with a washer, drier, a mangle, and a regular iron to teach the girls how to keep clothes clean and a man who teaches the boys how to wire sockets, splice wire, reverse motors and make table lamps. The campers are divided into eight tribes from youngest to oldest. Competition in sports, stunts and skills is part of the activities. One night each tribe took part in a pow-wow. One girl turned seventy-eight cartwheels to win this event for her. tribe. One night each tribe put bn a stunt, mostly take-offs on camp life particularly of staff members and their mannerisms. Kids can be extremely frank. The highlight of camp was the pageant depicting the Indian history of the area, climaxing with the death of Chief Shaw-Waw- Nas-See, who was buried high on a cliff above a bend in Rock Creek which runs through the 60- j acre camp area. About forty | campers were used in the pageftnt. Tour boy or girl couldn't possibly attend camp without ooming away richer in experience that helps build character and personality.

"Harry the Heimit" dropped in to see Judge Cunningham the other day ind started complaining about that dilapidated house he lives in ever near Greenwood Lake. "Who's my .andlord?" Harry wanted to know. "Whoever you pay rent to," says the Judge. "Dont pay any rent," says Harry. "Moved into that house twelve years ago and nobody ever came to collect." ••Well," says the Judge, looking notified, "what do you have to complain about?""Plenty," replies Harry. "Rain's pouring hi my living room and if someone doesn't fix that roof, I'M moving eat!" Now Harry was only having a' little joke, bat from where I sit I've seen people act just about as nervy as this sometimes--arrioud§.

But it is also true that he reserves a special place in his heart for the beautiful crest that rides high on the hood. For here, as only he can fully appreciate, is one of the most wonderful and unique symbols in all the world of manufactured products. In fact, it seems safe to say that no Other mark of identification speaks so eloquently of the product that beafip it ... and of the man who owns it. It tells, for instance, of magnificent engineering and inspired design--and of experienced craftsmanship and painstaking construction. It promises mile after mile of superlative motoring enjoyment--and it foretells year after year of dependable and endurjng performance. It proclaims, in short, the Cadillac pledge d£ quality--that here is an'automobile built to the highest standards it is practical to enjorce in the production of a motor car. And, oh, the wonderful things it says about the man behind the wheel! It reveals, more surely than if the words were spoken, that he is a man of achievement in his own private world of affairs. It attests the Rpi regard he places on the safety and the comfort of his family and his fellow passengers. And it says that he is a person of discernment and good taste. Little wonder that the man who owns a Cadillac takes special pride in the beautiful 4|$$t that identifies it and adorns it. • * it The Cadillac crest 4ells its most eloquent •story when it adorns the magnificent car illustrated above. For here is the illustrious eight-passenger Cadillac "75"--so luxurious, spacious and distinguished that it stands alone among the world!'s motor cars. Beyond it--there is only the future.
