Where the people were together and thought of the world much better. Let's get together, it's better late than never. Lawrence W. Schultz Why (by Maria Heiser) Why do the naked branches from the trees in autumn point up toward the sky? Why do weak and helpless arms of hungry children... reach out, with just one cry? Why do the forgotten old people who are living all around us.... feel so alone and pushed aside, like an old iron, covered with rust? Why does the desert... which has nothing to give but silence and dust ... Why does it exist? ...the trees have to die in autumn each year, to be reborn in spring, once again. when the sun warms the earth and broken is the winter's chain. ...the helpless arms of children must remind us, to give.... when the warmth of charity fills our heart and we begin to live... ...the old people, living in almost every town, just ask us not to forget... that some day... we will be wearing white hair as a crown... anf our life will be lonely and our eyes will be wet ...the desert can give life to man and beast alike. If we learn to work hard and so survive.... and never forget to respect nature's and each man's right.

Lun­ cheon will be served at 11:30 a.m., followed by cards. Moscow denounces China's new Constitution. During March, 1875, although Illinoisans paraded and celebrated on St. Patrick's day, and filled the churches to overflowing on Easter Sunday, the most popular public en­ tertainments were-spelling bees! Newspapers of the period in the collections of the Illinois State Historical library here report that spelling bees were a state-wide craze. None of the papers, however, used the term "spelling bee." Instead they called the event a spelling match, tournament, tourney, school, or contest. Usually they treated the subject lightly--the Chicago Inter-Ocean headed a story "Spellin' Skewl," the Rock Island Union used "Spellin Skule", the Rock Island Union used "Spellin Skule" and Springfield's Illinois State Register called one an "Orthographical Tourney." The origin of the craze or fad was not traced but the State Register stated "The spelling mania which 'broke out' a few weeks ago in a distant portion of the country, shows no signs of abatement. On the contrary, it is 'spreading', and bids fair to find its way into every crossroads schoolhouse in the land. . . . Into almost every household it penetrates, and not infrequently father, mother and offspring are simultaneously stricken." The contests were so popular that each city would have two or three a week. Admissions were charged and prizes were awarded to the winning BIRTHS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WOODSTOCK Mr. and Mrs. Philip Bucaro announce the birth of their tirst child, Kyle Leif, March 11, at Memorial hospital, Woodstock. The baby weighed 11 lbs., 8 oz. His paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Sam Bucaro of Lakeland Park and the maternal ones are Mr. and Mrs. L. Alan Olson, McHenry. Parents and grandparents are all recovering nicely. Kyle is the first grandchild for the Olsons. Pan Am loses $48.5-mil- lion in quarter. spellers. Attendance usually taxed the capacity of the church, school, hall, or theater where the event was held. Although attendance figures were seldom given, the Peoria Daily Transcript reported that one contest attracted a crowd of "nearly 1,400 people" in Rouse's hall. The event was a battle bet­ ween fifteen-member teams from the Peoria high school and the Peoria County Normal school. The contest ended in a draw at 9:50 p.m. when "the audience voted to let the con­ testants have a rest" with six members still undefeated on each team. The evening's entertainment did not end, however, until the city's lawyers had defeated the doctors and the chamber of commerce in separate con­ tests. Gen. John Hough, of the lawyers, "was declared the winner amid wild cheering" and the schools' contest was postponed to a later date. The battle of the month would have to be the one that was held in the Springfield armory of the Governor's Guard when members of the House of Representatives accepted the challenge of the State Senate. The event was a benefit for a "mission church near the west coal shaft," and an admission of 50 cents was charged. "The seating capacity of the hall was not equal to the demands of the occasion," according to the State Register. There were seventeen members on each team and the eventual winner of the silver goblet was Rep. William R. Hubbard of Marion Co., who correctly spelled "ipecacuanha." The Register reportei evidently enjoyed writing his one-and-one-half column story, parts of which read: "The next victim was Senator Cusey. It was 'moiety' that was too much for him. Senator Glassford followed him into obscurity for insisting on taking two i's' in his celery." We fail to see anything intricate in the or­ thography of 'intricacy,' not­ withstanding Senator Robin­ son, of Tazewell, passed out on it. 'Foreordained' beat Mr Goodrich of the house, and Senator Archer went wide of his mark when he put an 'e' in the middle of 'esplanade.' "Senator Plumb was shaken down for insisting that 'halibut' was spelled with two 'I's'-a nice plub, truly. . . Col. Townes of the Senate met the fate that should befall every mart who so "assassinates' the memory of Noah Webster as to drop one of the 's's' necessary in a correct orthography of the word."

Well, when the U.S. Mint was ready to formally com­ mence operations, Direc­ tor Rittenhouse hired a watchman, hung a large bell in the yard and purchased a watchdog for $3.00. The dog, named "Nero" and the watchman (name unknown), worked as a team and no one but the watchman was allowed to feed the animal. At night when the Mint was closed, the watchman, armed with a pistol and short sword, was required to ring the bell every hour on the hour, then "Nero" was turned loose to make his own inspection of the More of the curious on the grounds. The system work­ ed very well. . . .from the start up in 1792 thru the years til 1832 when the building was vacated, there was not one successful break-in. Mint employees followed a rigorous work schedule, 5 A.M. till 8 P.M., no cof­ fee breaks and they could not leave the building for breakfast, lunch or dinner. . .they brought their food or relatives delivered it to the front gate. If a worker was caught outside during working hours, he was sus­ pect and promptly stopped and searched. Employees had two holidays. . .the Fourth of July and Christ­ mas. Lighting in the plant was by candle and oil lamp, power for coin presses and other machinery was by man and horse. Not until 1816 did steam provide the primary power. . .consi­ dering all of this, it's a marvel that the early United States coins looked as good as they did. first U.S. Mint next week.
