The lines popped off in tangents of conversation, gleams of sl)»rp observation flashed, and even savage conflicts erupted. The shape and form of the play lead the audience through a suspense filled evening that drew to a satisfying ending. Tickets are now available on a single purchase, group of Theater Guild Series I basis. Series I purchased at this time enables the play-goer to view the annual musical, the comedy "Tom Jones" and the current production, "The Chalk Gar den", from a reserved seat and at a considerable savings over box office prices.

Purdue university's fifteen social sororities have induced 458 coeds as pledges at the close of a five-day midyear formal rush period. Donna Jean Rakowsky of 501 N. Mineral Spring drive, McHenry, pledged to Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. The pledges came from a registration of 981 women for informal rush, which ran from Sept. 18 to Dec. 1 under the auspices of the Purdue Panhellenic association. In that period, twenty-one sorority members serving as Panhellenic counselors escorted rushees to parties given by each sorority. On Saturday, Feh, 9, the historic Opera House on the town square in Woodstock will become the "Land Down Un der". Mrs. Ken Fiske will present a program of slides and commentary on a natural history trip to Australia. Mrs. Fiske toured eastern Australia for three weeks with a select group of twelve people from all over the United States and Canada. Because it was such a specialized trip with outstanding leadership, the group enjoyed many op portunities rarely offered visitors to Australia, and they saw many unusual sights. Some of the wariest Australian birds were closely observed and even the shy platypus, usually seen only in Wildlife Reserves, was found cavorting in a placid stream. The program will begin at 8 p.m. It is sponsored by the McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Audubon society. Light refreshments will be served by Audubon members, Mrs. Hal Gregg, Mrs. George Hervert and Mrs. Herb Russell of Woodstock and Mrs. Bradley Beebe of Crystal Lake. As the energy crisis affects the heating of most public buildings, the committee suggests that guests dress warmly. The public is urged to attend this unusual program. Australia is the driest con tinent on earth but in parts of it the average annual rainfall exceeds 150 inches. It is the flattest continent - but it has extensive ranges of towering mountains. It has some of the best surfing and skiing in the world. The heartland of the continent is a vast arid plateau but the coastal regions offer exceptional variety as to vegetation, climate, geology and wildlife. The "rivers" draining the "outback" are dry most of the time, but after heavy rains they become destructive torrents and flood thousands of square miles of the countryside. Australia was the last great habitable land mass on earth to be surveyed, penetrated and colonized by Euopeans. Por tuguese and Dutch navigators voyaged along the eastern coast of "Terra Australis" - the "Great South Land" in the 16th century, but it was not until 1770 that Captain Cook landed at Botany Bay (now Sydney) and 1788 when the first set tlement was established of convicts "transported" from Britain. Australia's population density is the lowest of any inhabited continent, yet it is three million square miles- almost as big as the U.S. The tour leadership and planning was undertaken by officers of the World Nature association, an organization of naturalists and scientists from fifty-two countries, dedicated to fostering goodwill and cooperation among persons interested in nature on a world wide basis. The Australian guide was internationally k n o w n o r n i t h o l o g i s t , photographer and writer, Len Robinson, the favorite guide of experts such as Roger Tory Peterson and Sir Peter Scott of Great Britain's Wildfowl Trust. Local experts also came out to guide Robinson and his party to specific birds or wildlife haunts.
