PG. 10; SEC. » - RLAlNDEALER - OCT. 4, 19<7 COLLEGE BOARD COMMENDS BOLGER (Continued from page « Skinner told the assemble that it was he who had iwcnmended Bolger for the position of treasurer, and that his section at the previous meeting was not personal. However, he added that it had been his opinion for a time that Bolger was not following the wishes of the board. Speaking in his own behalf, Bolger said he deposited the money at the best rate of interest possible in local banks. He also stated that Secretary J. William Banker, Jr., who had been asked by Skinner to relate the information from the Chicago bank to Bolger, never mentioned the name of the Mr. Johnson who made the offer. Skinner stated that "There now seems no question that he (Bolger) did not receive even the essential information which was reported to have been given." PROCEDURE ERROR Concluding the discussion, after the misunderstanding had been cleared up to the apparent satisfaction of everyone, Tom Parsley said he thought the error was the. feet that Skinner's recommended action on Bolger at the previous meeting should have been made at an executive session.

CORN HARVESTING Typical corn belt conditions permit 20 to 25 harvesting days from Oct. 20 to Nov. 20. A farmer growing 400 acres of corn, yielding 120 bushels per acre, should expect to harvest at least 2,000 bushels a day. State records indicate that corn moisture content changes little after Oct. 20; therefore farmers should be ready to begin harvest by this date. Corn is considered mature at 35 percent moisture, but combining is best at a moisture content of 25-to-28-percent or less. Plan to dry and store the bulk of your corn harvest, as discount rates will be high and elevators will be filled INGWOOD NEWS DOLORES BRENNAN 65S-904S OXTOBYS ENJOY HAWAIIAN TRIP FOR ANNIVERSARY On Thursday, June and Bud Oxtoby returned home after spending the past wo weeks vacationing in celebration of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, which was this past month.

P e a c e f u l i is this scene in the Philip- . pines, a land of great beauty and one which boasts a variety of scenic attractions. complished by training and practice. A driver improvement course is recommended for anyone not sure of his parking ability. With practice, you gain confidence and the capability to park correctly. Combine the training and practice, and you become acutely aware of the possible dangers involved when parking. This experience enables us to avoid tragic results. Just remember, after you DO a commendable job of parking, don't open the car door on the traffic side and step ont to a sudden death. Good parking practice is the true evidence of a proper mental attitude. Maintain a positive, defensive position and you become an expert. The art of parking is really just a "frame of mind," it's that simple! For your copy of the new Rules of the Road booklet, write to Paul Powell, Secretary of State, Springfield, Illinois 62706.
