A pictorial book, "Ford 'at Fifty," will be published by Simon and Schuster in April. A portrait of an industrial enterprise taken in its fiftieth year, the book graphically depicts the American environment and the people who m&ke possible the growth and success of such an institution. U. S. Senators originally were elected by The state legislatures. Circulation, of Illinois State Library books, pictures, recprdings and ofher items „ increased 1.067,626 in the last two years, a, 36.4 per cent increase, Secretary of State Edward J.

During the biennium, the library's resources were increased by 103,587 items, or 11.1 per cent, bringing the total holdings to 1,035,787 : the/ state librarian said. . ' Use of reading materials accounted for the greatest rise in circulation, Secretary Barrett said. In that catagory, there was almost a 40 per cent increase, the total,going from 2,627,879 to 3,678,700. Circulation of audio-visual materials -- pictures, recordings, Viewmaster reels, films--was up, loo, but only by 5.5 per cent, going from 302,521 to 319,326.

INCREASE UPBIONS An increase of one dollar a month, effective in January, will raise the ceiling for old age pensions and aid to Illinois residents who are totally and permanently disabled' to $72 a month. Announcing this increase, the Illinois Public Aid Commission explained that, in accordance with state law, the ceiling on monthly grants is readjusted periodically to conform to changes in the cost of living. At the present time 112,396 persons in Illinois are receiving old age pensions. The average payment last month- was $53.06, while 4,109 persons received an average grant of $68.73 under the disability assistance program. The ceiling on public assistance grants to blind persons was raised one dollar in December, 1951, bringing the maximum to $71 a month. The statutes provide a different method of adjustment for this program, and under it the cost of living figures do not authorize an increase at this time.

Those of you who don't fall into this class can read the column, anyway, because you probably know some girl or boy to whose attention you'd like to call this wonderful opportunity. On January 1 you can start entering your pictures in the 1953 National High School Photographic Awards and keep right on sending them in, as many as you wish, right up to the deadline of April 15, This it ft snapshot contest all your own. Only students in grades 9 through 12 are eligible. The contest this yeai is divided into four classes and there'll be four top prizes of $300 each. Altogether there'll be $4,000 worth of prizes awarded. I can't think of any black-andwhite pictures you may have taken that wouldn't find a home in one of the four classes. Class 1 is for babies and small children. Class II covers pictures of young people and adults.* This means people ranging from high school age to grandfathers -- close-ups, any activity at school, at home, indoors or outdoors. Class III is for the wonderful scenic views that you snapped on vacation or that you can find right around home any day. Still life pictures also go into this class. And Class IV belongs to the cats and dogs, the birds and the bees -- in fact to all animals whether they be wild ones in cages at the zoo, a canary in a cage in the kitchen, or a very docile puppy caught in the act of chewing up his master's shoe. Prints should be entered with your name, address, and school address and the class in which you want to enter the picture marked on the back. And they should be mailed to the sponsor, the National Scholastic Press Association, 18 Journalism Building, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn. Most high schools have complete information on the competition, but if yours doesn't, it can. be obtained by writing to the above address. *" --John Van Guilder EARNINGS save here JANUARY 10-- THE N Receive a full six month? return on your savings, at our current above* ' average rate, by saving here before .the 10th.

There aren't so many old maids any more, say the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. The doctors point out that the 1950 census showed 1,- 430,000 more women than men, and declared that the higher male death rate and more women immigrants are increasing ts.e disparity. In the last 11 year.?, say the insurance rtien, the marriage rate of American females has increased 16 percent.
