The lesson was given by the dition of only two classrooms, ! local leader, Mrs. Donald Swanwhich would be outgrown again in two years, according to th$g census taken by the P.T.A. last fall. They pointed out the economy of building four classrooms now, which would be expected to accommodate the school children presently livije. at the Lake for the next fWe years, rather than adding two rooms next fall and two rooms in 1962. In addition to four classrooms, more lavatory space would also be needed. This projection of school enrollment is based on th«, preschool children between the son, and was titled "Cooking for Company." One of th^ lessons was sampled during the meeting and was very mucn enjoyed. This was honeyed pork chops and date apple tart. Coffee arid cake were served at the close of the meeting.

At present many of the teachers are pick- ] ing up Sunday school pupils on their way to church, but there are still children being left behind. because there is no trans- : portation for them.

This was a comtte dress rehearsal with the tnder Lake fire department responding to the alarm signal which evacuated the chfidren. In less than 50 seconds the students were all out of the building Friday. Mr. Thomas, was very enthusiastic about the immediate response of the fire department. Although the firemen were unrehearsed, exactly 8 minutes elapsed from time the alarm was tripped nT school, until the firemen were finished with their inspection of every room and the basement of the building, and back outside again. In these 8 minutes the fire fighters had gathered, manned the engines, drove from the station to school, made a complete inspection of the rooms and returned to the engines. These the crucial first irinutes in which a fire fighter either wins or loses his race with a fire. We give public recognition to Fire Chief, George Gutzman, and our volunteer firemen.

America's farm families are traditionallv thrifty. The same pattern of thrift is found in Illinois. It is only natural, therefore, that the response of Illinois farm families to one of the oldest forms of thrift --the trading stamp --is so noticeable. Today over 123.000 farm families save them. Vou might almost sav that these savers constitute the largest single farm group in the state. During 1957 alone, thousands of dollars worth of trading stamp merchandise went into farm households in the state, and every 2 seconds a farm family is redeeming trading stamps. There is still another sidedirect income for farmers. During 1957 the stamp Industry purchased from Illinois farmers $2,766,000 worth of primary materials that go into the manuf a c t u r e of m e r c h a n d i s e f o r stamp redemption. No one can contemplate these facts and fail to realize that both personally and economically the t r a d i n g s t a m p i n d u s t r y i s a meaningful and welcome force in the life of our state.
