The reception started at 3 o'clock with dinner being served 'at 5 o'clock. After 7 o'clock in the evening many friends attended the open house celebration.

Around The Town Our congratulations to Jim Huemaiin, who was selected by vote of the entire school to reign Christmas Trees Good Farm Crop Christmas trees have become an important new farm crop in the north-central and northeastern United States within the past ten years. For many years, farmers have been marketing spruce and balsam trees that have sprung up naturally in cutover woodlands and lightly grazed pastures, but the business of planting and growing Christmas trees as a crop is a relatively new business, says J. N. Spaeth, head of the department of forestry at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. No figures are available on the number of Illinois farmers getting into the business, but the names of several are known who have ordered 20,000 or more trees. Many have ordered Scotch pine from the state nurseries, and this species is recommended only for Christmas trees. Many others have $ planted this and other species from both stale and private nurseries. I Eight midwestern states are J now cooperating in a study of the Christmas tree situation, Spaeth reports. The study will try to find out how many trees are grown, how many are used and what kinds and sizes people prefer so that the nurseries can grow the right stock for farm planting. Raising high-quality Christmas trees is something of an art, Spaeth believes. For instance, pruning in Pennsylvania has increased average tree value 50 to 75 cents at a cost of about 15 cents. Some of the best trees grow on poorer land with least labor because they grow more slowly and the foliage is naturally more dense. But they still need some shaping to make them symmetrical.

It is an impressive title, but really just means one who takes pictures with a movie camera. There's no better way to keep a record of family life than in full color home movies that reproduce all of the brilliance and motion of the activity or scene that caused you to want to take pictures. We're especially excited about home movie-making for all members of the family since we heard about a new camera that came on the market just a few weeks ago. It's the movie version of the familiar fixed focus or box still camera (except that it has a better lens) and it is priced at under $30. Not much under, just a little. Made by a well-known manufacturer, it's practically foolproof, it's so easy to use. With this camera you make one simple setting of the lens, wind the motor, and shoot. And, there's a guide on the front to tell you which setting to use, according to the way the weather is. Birthdays, weddings, graduations, holidays, and all the little every day things that are the material from which happy memories are made--will be kept fresh, colorful, and full of "action in your movie films. --John Van Guilder PUBLIC PULSE THE BLUE BALLOT * Recently I have seen posters in store windows and pamphlets stuffed in mail boxes, urging us to vote. "No" on the Blue Ballot Revenue amendment. As I am no expert on legislative or taxation, I prefer to follow the advice o? the many organizations which have studied the Revenue amendment and favor its passage, including: Illinois Agricultural association, Illinois Association of School Boards,'Illinois Federation of Retail Associations, Illinois Home Bureau • Federation, Illinois League of Women Voters, Illinois Region, PTA, Illinois State Bar association, Illinois State Federation, of Labor, Illinois Township Officials association and both the Republican and Democratic party readers. • According to them, a "Yes" vote means: No graduated state income tax, improved property tax laws, a better balanced tax structure and equal treatment for all Illinois taxpayers. Let's vote "Yes" on the Blue Ballot Nov. 6! Sincerely, Mrs. J. E. Corbett. A job is an endless marathon but it's more- fun than sitting life out in & rocking chair. . • HUNTING RULES A fifteen-minute difference in the starting and quitting time for duck hunting from east to west across Illinois was brought to the attention of sportsmen by Director Glen D. Palmer of the state Department of Conservation last week.' The open season on ducks began Saturday, Oct. 13. Legal hunting time for ducks and other waterfowl is one-half hour before sunrise to • one-half hour before sunset. Palmer advised hunters to check with local weather stations, newspapers and radio or television stations for correct time of' sunrise and sun-' set in various sections of the state.' Hunters were also reminded by Palmer that the wood duck is on the completely protected list tills year. Last year'ji experiment of allowing spbrtsi men to shoot one wood duck per day did not work out well. The species is declining in numbers. It may be identified by its crestf ed head, relatively -short bill, and broad black tail. In flight, moves its head from side side. , i ••a & • • / • | Support Volunteers of America!
