Th' double •standards, in all walks o' life, do much t ' lower the morality, an' encourage an attitude o' less consideration fer th' other feller. In some areas, young folk seem t ' be awakinin' t ' the fact an' a tryin't ' do somethin' about it Adults of a generation back, need t ' take a reckonin' an' face the mistakes, givin' support t ' the vounguns'! bent on rightin' the sitiation. In war times, throughout history, morale has dropped to a new low. wi' each episode. Now it 's time t ' change the image, an' work for higher moral standards, fer the benefit o' our younguns. I 'm a thinkin' that it takes a strong man t ' kill another, against all the principles he wuz taught, as he must do, in carryin' on wi' warfare. I wonder how many o' us could pull the trigger on another human bein' wi'out havin' violent reactions in our very souls, unless it was performed in self-defense, or t ' pertect another. I am surprised that many o' our young men, in service, ha'nt gone berserk, an' lost control o' themselves, when forced t' kill human bein's. War is not only a killer o' the enemy, an' those in the path o' the destructive influence. It is the destroyer o' love an' compassion; changin' the mind o' the entire human race, in- fluencin' little childern in the wrong attitude toward life, cheapin'in' self-value an' spiritual inspiration toward morality, an' lessenin' the fellowship which should exist atween humans, the world over. How kin a person be con­ demned when ail the facts o' his sanity can ne'er be measured, at the tirtie o' the enforced rules which put him inter a position which may ha' been too much for his mind t' accept. War is the thing which should be on the stand. War is the cause o' man's degredation. War is the reason fer .all the sufferin' in the world. Greed is the excuse fer war. The folks who make money manufacturin' war materials should be before the jury, an' those who make it necessary fer the manufacture o' sich materials should be Fish Fry Friday 5 until 9 P.M.

Blake, was baptized Sunday, April 4, at St. Mary's Catholic church by Rev. Eugene Baumhofer. Sponsors were Mrs. Harold Justen and Robert P. Blake. Following the ceremony a dinner was served at the Blake home for guests including Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Thennes, great-grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Anton F. Blake, paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold M. Justen, maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Blake and family, Kenneth Justen and friend, Cathy Sayles. David was born March 5 and came to live with the Blake family, March 19, which in­ cludes a sister, Deborah, 4»/2, and Mathew, 2. The U.S. Patent Office issues an average of 1,000 patents each week. The four founders of the Woman's auxiliary of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County will be per­ manently recognized with thp placement of a plaque in the hospital's new Snack Bar and Gift shop, Mrs. Virgil Smith, auxiliary president, has an­ nounced. The public will have an op­ portunity to see the all-new Snack Bar and Gift shop during the open house for the new addition scheduled Sunday afternoon, April 18, from 2 to 6 p.m. Singularly honored will be Mrs. James Rawleigh, former Hebron resident now living in Florida, who was the first president; Mrs. Irwin L. Burger, third president who still lives in Woodstock; Mrs. Warren Shoemaker, Sr., who lives in Woodstock; and Mrs. Raymond Pfeiffer, who died a few years ago. "The board wishes to salute these women and publicly acknowledge their initiative which has resulted in the many. contributions to the patients' welfare because of the Woman's auxiliary," observed Mrs. Smith. While cash contributions totaling about $300,000 have been raised by the Woman's auxiliary since its founding in 1945, it has contributed significantly in other ways as well. The auxiliary has provided a means through which women of the county are able to give in-hospital per­ sonalized service to the patients. It is a way for many women to become acquainted with each other and to work together on projects of mutual benefit for both the members and the patients they strive to serve. "People with much talent and dedication funnel their energies and enthusiasm through the Woman's auxiliary, and their main concern is to do what they can to make the stay of patients more comfortable. Fund- raising is one way the auxiliary can help, because with this money the auxiliary buys equipment, helps pay toward the building programs and provides add 1 services such as the Snack Bar and Gift Shop," continued Mrs. Smith. Another major way the auxiliary serves with its fund- raising efforts is to provide nursing scholarships. Latest tabulation shows a total of thirty-seven nursing scholarships have been awarded since the program was instituted in 1951. The auxiliary usually gives two or three annually. The scholar­ ships consist of $300 & year for three years as a gift from the auxiliary. The girls agree to return to Memorial hospital for a year. This works to the benefit of both: Memorial hospital is assured of qualified nurses and the student nurse is assured of a place to practice immediately on graduation. With the opening of thirty beds in the new addition this month, the need for more nurses faces the administrative staff now: DOUBLE DILEMMA MEETING The Double Dilemma Mothers of Twins club will meet Tuesday, April 23, at the Congregational - Universalist church at 221 Dean street in Woodstock at 8 p.m. Double Dilemma is open to all mothers of multiple births in McHenry county. The speaker for the April 13 meeting will be Robert Lambourn, executive director of the Pioneer Center for the Exceptional, McHenry county's only vocational rehabilitation training facility. judged first. So much good could be done wi' all that money an' effort, an' the human lives it has cost. In me mind, there's a strong conviction, that peace could lower the rate o' crime, all over the world.
