Saunders, president of Save The Children Federation, has declared that Dec. 5 through Dec. 9 will be "Bundle Week in Illinois," a time when public school students will j launch their attack by collecting i good, clean clothing for needy I youngsters at home and abroad j who cannot defend themselves from the chill blasts of winter. Dr. Saunders has written to I local superintendents throughout ; the state to cooperate in the j 1955 "Bundle Week," the four- | teenth annual clothing crusade j of Save The Children Federation. | The federation is an internation- j al child service agency that helps underprivileged boys and girls in isolated rural mountains of the United States, on the windswept Navajo Indian reservation, and in ten overseas countries including Korea. Much of the clothing collected in past drives has been used for emergency purposes. In 1954 and 1955 Save ' the Children Fedieration rushed large amounts of clothing to victims of floods, earthquakes, fires -- in Greece, Italy, North Africa, Austria, Haiti. And over the past three years, the federation has sent more than 2.000,000 pounds of clothing to Korea alone. Dr. Saunders recalled previous years in which Save the Children Federation has held clothing* drives in Illinois. "Illinois schools have taken part in five earlier 'Bundle Weeks'," he said. In the last five years Illinois school children collected almost a million pounds of clothing for youngsters less fortunate than themselves. "Save the Children Federation reduces what would otherwise be a •'herculean task to an easy routine for schools. The federation supplies everything from circulars for students and information for teachers to free shipping and complete publicity kits. Experience has proved this to be an excellent project for promoting social consciousness and international friendship in our students -- as well as providing much needed suits and dresses and coats for children in America arid overseas." j The federation was founded in ; 19.'>2 and has national headquar- j ters at 345 East 46th street, New j York City. Among its national i sponsors ^ are Miss Faith Baldwin, Raymond E. Baldwin, Mrs. Sherwood Eddy, Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Herbert Hoover, Henry R. Luce, Senator H. Alexander Smith, the Rt. Rev. Henry St. G. Tucker and Thomas J. Watson. By Ann Brzeoinski Fire .Department Please continue saving your newspapers. There Will be a truck picking them up soon.

St. Mary's Annual FEATHER PARTY SUNDAY Nov. 20th 8 p.m. • POPULAR PINOCHLE First appearing In games books about a hundred years ago, Pinochle (also spelled Pinocle) is German in origin and belongs to the same family^ card games -as Bezique which it closely resembles in mode of play and scoring. It has become one of themost popular family games at rural America, especially in the great mid- West. Hera and e l s e - w h e r e throughout the land, it is a particular favorite in men's social and fraternal organisations. But there are also thousands of excellent women Pinochle players today. Pinochle differs from Bridge and other games of the partnership family principally in the value of the cards. These are not confined, as in Bridge, merely to their trick-taking power but they also count in the score according to their being combined in certain patterns and also according to certain values assigned --to ;i ndividual cards. » Pinochle is further distinguished by having its'own special deck which differs from the full pack of 52 cards used in Bridge and Poker and other games. In Pinochle only 48 cards are used. They are the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, ten and nine of each of the four suits, each card appearing twice. In a Pinochle pack, therefore, there are 2 Aces of Spades, 2 nines of Diamonds, etc. Like Cribbage, Pinochle has its own colorful expressions (dix, roundhouse. shmeer, royal marriage^ common marriage) which may baffle those who ara playing the game for the first time. The dix" (pronounced deece) is the nine of trumps; "shmeering" or fattening the trick is to play a high counting card on a trick that pawner is likely to win; a roundhouse is a meld of one King' and Queen in each suit; a meld of the King and Queen of Trumps is a royal marriage while a common marriage is the King and Queen of an ordinary suit. Although there -are many variations of Pinochle, including Auction Pinochle, Partnership Pinochle, Check Pinochle and Contract Pinochle, the liveliest and most popular by far is Two-Hand Pinochle. You can obtain a free copy of the easy-to-follow rules for playing Two-Hand Pinochle by writing to Playing Cards, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, 17, N. Y.
