Urge Widows Of First War To Apply For '56 Payments The Illinois Veterans' Commission urges widows of World War I .veterans who were disqualified for pension benefits from the government due to income limitations, to apply for 1956 payments if they anticipate an income below the set limitation.

INSPECT STREAMS More than 325 miles of streams were studied by sanitary engineers of the Illinois Department of Public Health during 1955 as a part of the department's continuing 'work in prevention and abatement of pollution of the stat&£ lakes and watercourses. Eight hundred sets of .plans for proposed sewage projects were reviewed; more than 450 permits and approvals were issued for sewerage construction. No outbreak of disease during the year was traceable to any public water supply. Sanitary inspections were made of 642 of the 1,119 public water supplies in Illinois. As a service to Illinois communities the department also investigates air pollution. In connection with this work it has prepared a comprehensive report, "Air Pollution in Illinois," designed to help legislators and others who may be interested with state-wide aspects of air pollution and its control. - Legislation - Civil Defense Women of the American Legion auxiliary will join the men of the American Legion in- urging Congress, to re-appraise the goals of the United States Air Force in view „. of new developments in the air strength of thte Soviet Union. The security of our' homes from atomic attack and peace of the world rests, upon i^nerican might in the air. The' problem of keeping the United States secure from Soviet aggression will be studied and discussed in American Legion auxiliary units throughout the country during this month; Helping to establish a registration arid information service for use in event of attack is one of the civil defense assignments of the American Legion auxiliary.

GOOD SHEARS CASE FOR PROFESSIONAL LOOKING GARMENT The better the. condition of your sewing tools, the better the chance of your making a professional- Hooking garment, says Fern Carl,f University ! of Illirtois clothing specialist. Like any precision tool, scissors and shears need good care. They should always be clean and should be lubricated occasionally with a drop of oil at the screw. Use scissors for the job for which they were made. In other words, don't cut cord with cuticle scissors or wire with sewing scissors. Use dressmaking shears only for cutting cloth, not for general household cutting. Wipe the lint off . regular shears often. Remove it from pinking shears after each use. •j High-quality shears can usually be sharpened if they become dull. Just be sure to take them to an experienced person. If pinking shears need adjusting or sharpening, return them to the store so thftt they can be sent to' the factory for repair. Quite often they are permanently damaged if an inexperienced person tries to rfepair them.
