They bagged seven bucks In a little over three days’ hunt and did not reach the deer hunting grounds until five days after the season opened. They secured a team and bob sled from one of the tenants on their farms and hunted about 200 miles west of Winnipeg, In loose snow a foot deep and with temperatures one morning a t ten below zero.
They did not run into any bad weather but was fearful all the
time a blizzard might catch up with them. They purchased a trailer and loaded three of their deer on It, gave the other four to friends who had accompanied them on the hunt. Under the law they could bring only one buck each out of Canada. Fearful of snow and blocked roads they drove all Thursday night to get through Minnesota and then when rain had cleared the highways they took it more easily on home.
The throe bucks weighed 460 pounds and some of their friends are anxiously awaiting a sample of venison.

PITTSBURGH. — His companions laughed when Robert Herman, 26, asked them to help him “get rid of the body of my old woman.”
Then he showed them the body and went to the police station with them.
Herman asked two fellow truck drivers to come up to his apartment.
"Busted up with my wife,” he explained.
On the way, Herman asked his friends, Bill Bishop, 35, and Steve Schumacher, 47:
“What can a guy get for killing his old woman?”
“Plenty,” they replied, laughing, j“Okay,” said Herman, "when we
get there you can help me get rid ' of the body.”
His friends laughed."He’s a great kidder," said one.The three sat in the kitchen |
drinking beer for about 20 minutes I when Herman led them to the bed room.
The body of his wife. Frances, 20. j was sprawled across the bed.
"How did you do it?" Bishop | asked.
Herman put his hands together | and went "Skkrrk.”
At the police station, he said he had strangled his wife during an argument.
crro n s Now Exist That Peril W orld
CoulJ \7ipe 0u! Last Vestige C i Ail Forms of Liie.
NEW YORK.—Weapons now exist, without including the atomic bomb, "that could wipe the last vestige of human, animal and vegetable life
•from the face of the earth,” according to Rear Admiral Ellis M. Zacha- rias, U. S. N.. retired.
"These weapons exist,” Zacha- rias wrote in the United Nations World, a privately financed magazine and not an official U. N. publication. "They are being manufactured right now and they are not an American monopoly. Several nations are known to have them.”
The admiral described the weapons—"shrouded In the closest military secrecy"—as of a biological, bacteriological and cllmateological nature.
He added that the United States now has an atom bomb 30 times more powerful than those dropped at Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Russia, the navy man asserted, is investigating military applications of cosmic rays and Is proceeding with rocket development: Britain Is making progress in guided missiles, and the United States has a secret biological weapon, "a germ proposition" sprayed from aircraft or rockets.
“These modem weapons," Zacha- rias said, "bear only slight similarity to conventional armaments of the past, permit the waging of inter-continental war from long distances. They are designed to destroy life in enormous areas.”
Furthermore, he said, the new weapons are of such a nature that their lethal quality continues long after actual use, would jump international-boundaries and oceans.
Areas attacked would have to be quarantined and it might be "a thousand years before those blasted areas will again support life of any kind.”

BERLIN. — American authorities arrested four Germans and seized an illegal cache of war materiel reportedly Intended for an Allied military mission in this city.
The war materiels Included military radios and teletypes with scrambling devices to permit the machines to code and decode messages.
American officials said the Germans and the banned equipment were found in the U. S. zone of Ber- j lin. German informants named an j Allied military mission in Berlin j as the purchaser of some of the equipment.
Americans did not identify further the source of the reports, or confirm the charges. The military mission suspected of buying illegal equipment was not named.
The arrests marked the second time In two weeks that Americans have uncovered underground dealings In war goods in the U. S. zone.
Equipment seized earlier included devices for sighting guided missiles.
The four-power Allied control council has passed a law forbidding possession of any kind of signaling or communication device

Prisoners’ Train Finisbss Wild Trip Across Country
CAMP COOKE, CALIF. — Passengers on the army's transcontinental prison train "Hell Run" were lodged In quarters here from which escape would be "extremely difficult."
The 141 tough prisoners, transported from Grcenhaven, N Y , made the trip a nightmare for their guards with unruliness, escapes and attempted escapes.
Seven got away In Missouri, Kansas and Colorado. Six were recaptured, one of them shot seriously. One man was being hunted in Kansas.
There were scores of attempts to escape every time the train slowed down, officers said. Several prisoners were shot and wounded by guards.
Col. Wade D. Klllen of Salt Lake City, train commander from there westward, described the men as “habitual criminals, many of them inured to crime before they en tered the army.” All have been sentenced for serious crimes, many to life terms.

WASHINGTON. — Wartime aptitude tests of army air forces have revealed six hitherto unrecognized factors In human ability which ara measurable, and there lx a strong suggestion of at least 10 others. This has been reported to the American Association for the Advancement of Science by Dr. J. P. Guilford of the University of Southern California, who had a leading part in constructing the tests.
First Is the "space factor.” It consists, he said, "In a preceptual awareness of the arrangement of object* with respect to right-left, up- down and In-out dimensions.” Correct choice as to dimension of movement depends on It This ability varies greatly from person to person.
A factor which Guilford calls "manipulatory visualization” la shown by a test requiring one to Imagine transformations, movements or other changes. A typical test presents a picture of a square of paper being folded one or more times In successive steps and a hole of given shape being cut out. The person being examined selects nne of flva other pictures, each showing plausible creases and holes, as the paper would appear after being unfolded.
General Factor* Vary.Third Is a general factor which
teems to run through all mechanical ability, from tinkering to skill in manipulating a steam shovel. A fourth factor is ability to estimat* correctly the length of lines. This also varies greatly among Individuals.
Distinct from manipulatory visualization Is a factor which Guilford calls ‘ ‘visual memory”—the ability to describe a stationary object from memory. The two factors probably depend, he says, on different properties of the visual cortex at the back of the brain and they perhaps are dependent on different groups of brain cells. A person may be good In one kind of visualization and quit* poor In the other.
Another new factor ha describes as “judgment—the ability to estimate correctly sizes, times and distances.” “It actually may be a fourth kind of reasoning." he says, “which has been almost entirely missed In most Intelligence tests.”
Last of the verified new factors la psychometer co-ordination In finger dexterity and use of arms and legs In such tests as using mock airplane controls.
Two Kinds of Reasoning.He further discriminates ability
In two kinds of rsasonlng which do not seem to be related—reasoning by analogy and reasoning by Induction and deduction. He saya: "These tests suggest that the term ‘reasoning’ conceals a number of unrecognized functions. Some of these may be determined biologically, but others may be In the form of reasoning habits brought about by education. Until the variables are better defined in this area, studies or training In thinking and of the problems of formal discipline cannot be effected adequately."
The air force tests also showed, Guilford says, the probability of two hitherto unrecognized forms of space perception and two distinct kinds of memory. All these factors, it Is pointed out in the report, are statistically independent of each oth r.

Many Plalndealer readers are Interested in Falrbury’s chances for a much-needed modern hosp ita l They are interested because most of the people around Chatsworth who have to go to a hospital are taken to Fairbury.

Everybody hoped a new brick building would be built within the present generation. Something like $86,000 was raised by people of the hospital area sometime ago. At that time it was thought it would build a very nice building and that it would be built at once Then cume the ban on building. Now it is estimated that it will take $386,000 to build a hospital and it may be several years before even a start can be made. The following article was submitted to The Plalndealer for publication by hospital officials:
“The new construction committee of the Fairbury hospital has prepared and is submitting applications for both federal and state aid toward the construction of the completed hospital in Fairbury. 11118 type of aid has been made possible by a federal law, passed in 1946, which provides the amount of $2,770,725 each year for five years to be used in the state of Illinois toward one-third of the cost of construction of approved hospitals. The other two-thirds must be raised from other sources.
"The general assembly of the state of Illinois recognized that many communities, needing hospitals so badly, would not be able to furnish the remaining two- thirds of the cost locally. Consequently, it made an appropriation of $4,675,000 for the two-year period ending on June 30, 1949, which is to be used toward making up to another one-third of the cost of approved construction. As a result, at least one-third mu^t then come directly from the community whose building plans receive approval. Each community is required to make its maximum effort in raising funds.
“This program is under the direction of a state committee
working through the Illinois department of health. Obviously,
the funds are limited and since the purpose of the appropriations Is to help provide hospital care where it is most needed, the federal law was written in such a way that the state departments must conduct an extensive survey to determine the order in which applications would receive approval. In the survej about 75 areas were set up In the state and through a complicated method a priority list was made according to need and ability to provide for themselves. Hospital facilities were not counted if the buildings were not fireproof or were over fifty years old. As the funds become available the areas at the head of the list are considered first. In some cases, high priority areas are hot making applications and show no particular interest. In such case it would still retain its priority but would be set aside for the next area which does make an application. At the present time many areas are not actively interested and may not be for some time. •
"The way it stands now Fairbury (Pontiac area) is classified as C2, that is, 36th on the list The first year’s allotment has covered seven hospitals, the last being 13th on the list. While no actual contracts diave been made as yet, this might possibly indicate that the Fairbury applications would receive favorable action before the five-year period has expired. Much, of course, will depend on costs, as to how far the funds will reach. Present estimates are from $10,000 to $15,- 000 per bed. The Fairbury estimate is for a total of $385,000

I*ROM THE OFFICIAL report of the Interstate Commerce Commission on awarding a temporary freight rate increase of 10%, we quote:
“ The law requires us to give due consideration, among other factors, to the need of revenue sufficient to enable the carriers under honest, economic, and efficient management to provide adequate and efficient railway transportation service for the nation . .
A moment’s thought should convince any fair-minded person that keeping the American railroads healthy is to everybody's advantage.
Every family, every businessman, even the Nation itself is in danger when this vital artery of American life is weakened.
And that threat is real, and it is now. For with increases in the cost of railroad operation piling up one atop another, how can the railroads’ multimillion dollar program for desperately needed new equipment be continued? How can improvements in roadbeds, yards, stations, rolling stock, which took a merciless beating in the war years of peak traffic, be carried through? /

Two THE CHATSWORTH PLAINDEALER, CHATSWORTH, ILLINOIS
WEEKLY REVIEWAND f ARM OUTLOOK
price* of fa rm products will fluctuate *t high level* in 1948 ■»wl a re expected to average about th e same as in 1947. This forecast appeeze to be Justified by reports from the UJ5. D epartm ent of Commerce.
Hie principal factor holding up prices of farm products in 1948 will be a large national income This will arise from four principal sources: 1. consumer expenditures, 2. government outlays, . 3business capital expenditures, and 4. purchases for export.
Consumers, including farmers, provide the greatest part of the nation’s buying power. In recent months they spent at the rate of 166 billion dollars a year, which was equal to 93 percent of their disposable personal Income. This figure compares witn 75 percent spent at the low point during the war and 95 percent during prosperous years before the war. These facts indicate that consumers still have a considerable reserve of buying power. They want more of many things, especially automobiles and houses.
Government outlays provide income for many persons. Federal expenditures are running at about 34 billion dollars a year and are likely to continue near this level in 1948. Expenditures by state and local governments will be moderately larger in 1948 than in 1947.
During the spring and summer of 1947, business men, including farmers, spent at an annual ra’e of about 18 billion dollars for new equipment, 10 billion for new
construction and seven billion for increase* In Inventories. Contracts and order* on band and being m ade indicate th a t expenditures fo r new construction and equipment in 1948 m ay be about as large as in 1947. Expenditure for Inventories is m uch more uncertain. Business inventories now total about 50 billion dollars compared with 42 billon a year earlier and 82 billion two years ago. Business m en’s decisions to increase o r reduce inventories will be very im portant in determining economic trend:' in 1948.
For the year 1947 our net exports (the excess of exports over Imports) will be about enght billion dollars. These large net exports have been an important factor in sustaining business activity and price increases during 1947. Substantial new loans or other financial aids to foreign countries will be necessary in order to maintain the 1947 rate of net exports in 1948.
These four great classes of buyers—consumers, business men.government, and the export market—hold the key to future prosperity. When one or more of these markets weakens substantial!,y we shall have our recession. For 1948, however, it appears that boom will take precedence over bust.

LONDON. — The missing lro* pants of King Henry VIII are now back in the tower of London, and a 400-year-old royal mystery is solved.
For centuries, the custodians of the royal armor had searched in vain for the bottom half of one of the marrying monarch’s favorite fighting ensembles. They knew it existed because it was listed in the royal inventory of 1547 and the top half was in the tower.
Tower officials recently revealed that the long search was over.
Trustees of the estate of the hereditary King's Champion, Frank Seaman Dymoke, found the missing armor in the dim haUs of Scrivelsby court, a moated castle In Lincolnshire.
The explanation was simple. Henry's pants had been accidentally joined to the top of a less distinguished suit of armor and thus escaped notice for generations.
The complete reunited suit, as It now stands in the tower. Is a long- skirted model designed for fighting on foot. Henry VIII, equally formidable In war and matrimony, frequently participated in court jousts both on horseback and on foot
Measurements of this suit show that Henry, in his prime, was a fine figure of a man, six feet taU and with a 34-inch waist. The popular conception of Henry as a fat man results from Holbein'* portrait painted in Henry's declining years.
The Dymokes of Scrivelsby held the office of King's Champion for 700 years. Until 1821 the head of the family rode in full armor to each coronation ceremony where he flung a gauntlet before Uie assembly in a chaUenge on behalf* of the king.
In payment, the King's Champion received from the monarch a gold cup and a suit or armor.

Just Ram blin' Along
JUST SNOOPIN’“John, what are you doing on
this side of the street,” the reporter asked John Jensen, the smithy, a few days ago. as he was detected window shopping. John hesitated a minute and then said the question reminded hirr of one he asked in Jacksonville, Fla., a few winters ago. When Mr. Jensen detected a black bathroom ensemble displayed in a plumbing shop he wondered, so he aske4 a policeman, statng that he had never seen black porcelain before. “Well, stranger, I reckon yru must be from the north- Those black fixtures are for the negroes.” John probably figured we should have known he was snooping around for Christmas.
---- j R ARAT MARKET DEMORALIZED
The following article appeared in the Nov. 6th sisue of “Markets" a weekly publication issued at St. Paul, Minnesota. While we do not know of anyone around here who would like to try a rat steak or stew, it is an idea:
“It seems a shame that in the present food shortage we have not recognized the need of a market for the sale of long dt-yfed rats. Perhaps, our dieticians have been derelict in not discovering a method of preparing rat meat in an appetizing manner for consumt r use.
“First of all, rats are prolific and hardy. They seem to get along without much care, and by a little patience they could br branded so that if they stray into a neighbor’s barn or com crib they could be claimed when ready for market.
“Most rats, and there are untold millions on farms in this country, are rather large at maturity. Some of the larger ones mignt make a good meal for a family of four or five. There is practically no labor expended in raising them in large numbers, so when marketed they might produce a handsome profit-
“Rat meat should be extremely palatable and tender. because those on farms are nearly all eornfed and reach a high state of finish before tr-ev d;o of o'* age as the grandparents cf thousands of grandchildren.
“Some friendly souls interested in gathering figures have taken a census of *.ho rats in the nation Of course, when the census takers called, there was a number of rat

families away on picnics, or busy shopping, so there seems to be some doubt about the accuracy of the estimated rat population cf the nation. Then too, the census figures have not been broken down to show what portion of jhc population dwells in cities and what portion on farms, but it is reasonable to believe that the numbers on farms are greater than in cities, as it does not take a rat long to dscover that living conditions on farms are far superior to those of dark warehouses in congested cities.
“For our convenience (there is any number of people who will make available any information one needs at a moment's notice), figures have been published to show a rat eats 50 lbs. of corn and wastes 50-100 lbs. more. Unfortunately, we don’t know whether this is accomplished in the lifetime of a rat or in a year. There must be some figures somewhere to show how long a rat lives under the healthy atmosphere of the farm, with warm sunshine available so much of the year and sqch nourishing and wholesome food in abundance. Perhaps they die of gout at an early age or of digestive disorders because of overeating.
“Just ponder for a moment: Prime, yes, we might say fancy- prime-choice, long dryfed rats - CORNFEDS, if you please. How tempting that sounds in a hungry world. But we let them die of old age, having served no good purpose.
"How much grain do they consume ? To be safe, let’s say “TOO DARNED MUCH." How many rats are on farms to consume “TOO DARNED MUCH?" Well, we haven’t counted rat noses lately, but there are TOO DARNED MANY.
“Let’s suppose there was no crying need for grain such as exists, today. The cost of ridding the farm of rats, if all farmers in the neighborhood would do their share, would be practically nothing. Time and effort, and not very much of that, is all that is needed to get the job done. Such a campaign energetically inaugurated on every farm in iht nation would save enough grain to come near reaching the quota set to relieve the famine conditions in the world.
1 Not only that, but there would , be less hue and cry for curtailing livestock feeding, including poultry, by those who are not well informed about the economics of agriculture.
Latest reports on the rat mar ket are discouraging. Faney-
i prime, long grainfed kinds are quoted at less than nothing R u feeders will lose millions of dollars this year on their feeding operations. Even the plainer in-bo- tween kinds are at a new low, indicating that the farmer would fare better this year if ho did h> own slaughtering at home on all kinds Farm income for the remainder of this year and "ac’i ’•ear in t^o future will improve if all shortfeds are slaughtered
! rarlv and breeding discouraged v*'hile this solution seems hea-t- less, it appears to be the only w \ to the recoverv <of the market "
Junior W om an’s Clue Has D elig h tfu l C h ristm as P a r ty
The Chatsworth Junior Woman's Club met Wednesday evening, December 10th, at the home of Mrs. John Heins with Mrs Harriet Wood acting as hostess, for their annual Christmas party and pot luck dinner. Roll call was answered by naming one's favorite Christmas song or story. Vice President Cecele Sterren- berg presided over the business meeting.
Miss Rita Kueffner, and Mrs. Mary Jane Schade accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Elma Trinklo, sang "O Holy Night," and "Deck the Halls,” Little Nancy Ster- renberg spoke a delightful little piece about the doll that Santa had given her for Christmas, after which Santa Claus came and gave each one present a gift. Mrs. Ruth Shafer won the prize for working a jig saw puzzle the fastest.
Dessert and coffee was served at the close of the evening by the committee composed of Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Ruth Watson, Mrs. Dorothy Gillett, Mrs. Geraldine Rosenboom, Mrs. Josephine Wittier, and Mrs. Doris Collins. There were thirty-seven members and three guests present.
£ ig T oe K eeps Body Tem perature Even
/Ids as a Thermostat in Heat Control System.
ANN ARBOR, M ICH. — A re m arkable therm ostat which casua lly utilizes the big toe fo r an in d icator. is contained w ith in the body. D r. L. H. Newburgh, professor of clin ica l investigation at the U n ive rs ity of M ichigan medical school, re ported.
When the air temperature drops to a certain point this thermostat begins to shut off the bodily beat going to the arms and lega.
This explains why a person’s toes and lingers often are the first to feel the cold.
The thermostat does this in order to conserve the heat necessary to maintain the Interior of the body at a constant 08.6 degrees, which Is essential to the smooth functioning of the vital organs.
Doctors who understand this interesting heat control system can detect hyperthyroidism or other evidence of abnormal metabolic activity simply by noting temperature changes in the big toe. Dr. Newburgh said In a paper prepared for d e live ry at the annual seminar on dental medicine.
The Ideal test, D r. Newburgh said, is to have the patient ly ing nude In a room where the tem perature Is about 84 degrees. In tha t condition the patient is about as near to complete physical re laxation as he can get.
In th is s ituation the skin tem peratu re rem ains the same a ll over the body—big toe Included—at about 92 degrees.
When the room tem perature drops to a cozy 75 degrees the skin tem perature settles to about 90, Dr. Newburgh said.
Since the body now Is losing heat too fas t to m ain ta in the v ita l functions and a t the same tim e keep everyth ing w arm , the therm ostat cuts down the heat supply to the arms and legs, which do not contain any v ita l parts.

Bluebirds WinGame—Lose Two To Cullom
The Chatsworth Bluebirds broke into the win column with a 42 to 26 victory over the Alumni (class 45, 46, and ’47) last Friday evening. The Seconds, however, lost 30 to 25 after leading 15 to 12 at the half.
In the varsity game Jim Maiir- itzen and Vendell Sanders found their basket-eyes to tally 12 and 13 points respectively while Dick Fortna, Lauren Blair, and Tom Askew played well and tallied 8, 5, and 3 points.
Scoring by the Alumni was rather evenly distributed amongst
Rufus Curtis, Wayne and Junior Sanders, Gerald Bouhl, Leo Hub- ly, and Bill Dennewitz. Leo Horn- stein, Gerald Haberkom, Bill Matthias, Tom Beck and Mike Seibold also played for the old- timers.
Tuesday evening Cullom, a Vermilion Valley conference foe, came to town and took the measure of the Bluebirds in two games, their second team winning 38-22, and the Varsity 28 to 23.
In the preliminary game the two teams played the first half on even terms with Cullom leading by one point at the half, 15-14. The Cullom lads through some excellent shooting made possible by lax defensive play by the Bluebirds outscored the home team 23 to 8 during the last half.
The Bluebird Varsity in an interesting game lost to Cullom 28 to 23. The game was close three quarters with Cullom pulling away in the quarter to a five point advantage. The score was knotted 12 to 12 at the half and Cullom led 21 to 18 at the three quarter mark.
Cullom has a fast inexperienced team but the one letterman. Hack, dunked six long baskets over the zone defense to provide the margin of victory.
The Bluebirds continue to snow some improvement, but speed ?n1 accurate shooting are still sadly lacking. Greater individual effort will be required to bring many victories.
The Chatsworth team was hurt considerable by the illness of Vendell Sanders who became ill during the game and appeared for only a short time.Piper City Next
Friday night Piper City comes to town fresh from a victory over undefeated Onarga Indians. There will be two games, the first commencing at 7 p.m. The Bluebirds should be stronger with additional players available, and two real ball games are in the offing.

Allighan's expulsion was the first 1since 1922 when a member was ' voted out after he was convicted of a criminal oflense for which he was sentenced to prison.

/tie car rfiey sa/c/was years aw ay/This is your dayl se f tne time; *ee the car you’ve been fold was years away!
A style-setting beauty, with a sparkling and massive front grille. A car that is only five feet high, and with the lowest center of gravity you’ve ever known, but with a new, all steel Monobilt body-and-frame that gives you more inside head room than any other car built today.
A car with the roomiest seats ever built into any American-made automobile.
A car you step down into when entering, not up on — yet a car that maintains road clearance 1 A car that cradles you not only between axles, but ahead of the rear wheels.
All of this is made possible by a basic new development in motor car design—Hudson’s
Monobilt body-and-frame, shown in phantom view and described to the right.
The Hudson dealers lister! here are ready with information about Hudson’s all-new Super-Six engine —the most powerful six built today—and Hudson’s masterful Super- Eight. They will tell you about Hudson’s exclusive Drive-Master—no clutch pushing, no gear shifting in forward speeds.
S«« H udson's gorgeously upholstered interiors, with chrome handles and hardware recessed into side panels, out of the way. Examine all of Hudson’s new beauty, comfort and convenience features, including a new type of low-pressure, Super-Cushion tire tha t mounts on a new, wide safety rim. See how Hudson’s wide, curved windshield and rear window give added vision all around.
Get a good look at this new kind of car — a type of automobile no one else in the world is prepared to build today! I t ’s something to see—the nearest Hudson dealer will show it to you now!
A CAR YOU RIDE I N . . . NOT ONIHudson is H e only motor car that completely encircles you, even outside the rear wheels, with a rigid box-steel foundation frame. You ride within this new construction, instead of on top of it as in other cam. And every unit of Hudson’* new, all steel Monobilt body-and- frame is welded into on. totid structure that provides unusual rigidity and stability

Manriectaring Ftr Pi/ eesfiFir plywood Is manufactured only
from prime logs of giant old growth, Douglas firs usually from three to eight feet In diameter. The cross-grain construction of plywood makes it splitproof so nails may be driven near the edge without danger of splitting. Called "not presses," giant machines set the waterproof glues of exterior plywood in about five minutes. The resultant bond is stronger than the wood Itself.

The country preacher was making a call and the farmer's wife cooked up a couple of young roosters, figuring the family would eat when the minister left.
But the preacher had made a long hard trip and was hungry. When he was through — so were the chickens. After dinner the farmer took him on a tour of the farm.
“What a vigorous crow that rooster has,” remarked the minister as the lord of the barnyard let loose with one of his calls. “He acts like he’s a bit proud of something.”
“Why shouldn’t he*” growled the farmer morosely. “He’s got two sons in the ministry.”
CHlllSTMAh U A L SALE"The success of the 194” Christ
mas seal sale will be due In large part to the work of volunteers. Members of the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, ihe typing classes at the Pontiac township high school, convalescent patients at the Livingston county sanatorium and other women from Pontiac, Dwight an<l
1 Forrest have given this assist - ance,” according to Gordon Speers of Odell, who is county seal sale chairman. The sale of Christmas seals opened November 24, and will continue until after Christmas.
Mr. Speers said that prior to the opening of the sale these vo’- unteers foldd the seals and letters and addressed the envelopes, and inserted the approximate 9,000 letters In the envelopes. Now that the money is coming through other volunteers are working to keep the work up to date.
“ These citizens gave freely of their time and energy becaust they are convinced that the continuance of the County Tuberculosis Association’s health program which is supported entirely by funds collected from the sale of these seals, is essential for the welfare of the county. Here is a way everyone can help. Every seal bought is a contribution to the fight against tuberculosis, i f you have not sent your contribution as yet, it will be appreciated in the very near future,” said Mr. Speers.

Then pack mud into a ball about It. Drop tha mud-packed fly on the smooth water. Aa It settles to the bottom, with the water disintegrating tha mud Into little spiralling swirls, tha trout should smash It for curiosity alone.

E y C ih e r C o u n tr ie s .
TASEXHAUSEN. GERMANY.— Displaced persons camps In Germany can supply skiUed workers as immigrants to any country that needs them. Most men and many women among those people uprooted by war have trades, handicrafts and professions needed by countries short of manpower.
Many DP camp inmates who had no skills are learning them in camp training schools taught by fellow DPs, hopefully preparing for a chance to go to work in some new country.
In this DP camp In Babenhausen are 1,071 persons brought by the Nazis from the Baltic countries of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania as forced laborers.
Leant Practical Trades.Half of them are taking voca
tional courses. Some who already have one trade are acquiring another In which it might be eaaler to obtain employment in a strange land.
In varying degrees, the same process of self-education la going on in most DP camps in Germany. They learn such practical trades aa weaving, dyeing, tailoring, shoe- making, mechanic* and carpentering.
While learning, they not only produce articles useful in camp life, but other goods for sale through camp offices.
The variety of work displaced persons could do if given a chance was lUustrated by a recent survey in the United States zone.
The survey showed 20,000 office workers, 8,000 construction and maintenance workers, 6,000 doctors, nurses and other health or sanitation experts; 10,000 communications workers, including radio, railway and telegraph experts; 46,000 trained in "special services" such aa barbers, photographers, printers, shoemakers and tailors; 17,000 artists or professional people, including engineers, musicians, teachers and writers; 2,000 metal workers, and 22,000 farmers, dairymen or for- asters.
Hope to Move as Family.Officials of the International ref
ugee organization, who are trying to find new homes for these displaced people, rate 82 per cent as employable. They say 38 per cent are actually working now in camps, although there is no requirement that they labor. Most unemployables are women or children.
Some of these varied DP skills are being utilized in resettlement projects which are slowly reducing camp population by moving the inmates into new countries as Immigrant workers.
However, too many countries seeking Immigrants want principally miners and farm workers. Too few countries seem to want the professional people.
Refugee officials also point out this danger: So many resettlement projects exclude unemployable dependents that when the employables are drained off there la likely to be • large residue of people unable to maintain themselves In any country.
These leftovers ere likely to become perpetual charges under Allied care.
"Clearly the number of these persona will be decreased if the International refugee organization la successful In Its efforts to arrange resettlement of refugees In family groups,” a recent report suggested.

Normal Farmer Named Soy Bean King for 1947
A 95
The soy bean king of the United States, grower of the best of a crop that has 96 listed uses in agriculture and industry ''received the annual Pillsbury Trophy a few days ago from the committee on Philip W. Pillsbury Awards for agricultural achievement at a luncheon in the Saddle and Sirloin club at the union stock yards, Chicago, last week.
The king is Harvey W. Stiegel- meier, of Normal, who has won this honor for two consecutive years with his exhibit at the International grain and hay show held with the International Livestock Exposition. He operates three farms, totaling 390 acres, in McLean county, and has won 16 trophies and more than 700 ribbons with his agricultural products. His soy beans were developed at the University of Illinois, and came from a planting of 70 acres.
Mr. Stiegelmeier, in accepting the trophy, said the soy bean had come a long way from the days when it was best known as an ingredient for chop suey sauce.
He added: “The soy bean is big business today. There are 334 plants in the midwest making products from soy beans- These include 114 processing plants, 24 refineries, 146 plants processing food and feed products, and 50 in-
* dustrial plants.“Among the products of this in
dustrial group are many varieties of foods for the table, including ice creams, candies, breakfast foods and cooking oils; feed for poultry, cattle, hogs, sheep, rabbits, dogs and other animals; and plastics, paints, linoleum, celluloid, printing ink and soap.
"The soy bean is another important link between the farmer and industry, and I am happy to have raised a product that I hope will help to improve the stande.rd of soy beans.”
