TO SELL CHRISTMAS TREES To the general public: Collar yourself a Boy Scout, or he’ll | collar you, to buy a beautiful Scotch pine or red pine Christmas tree, on December Bth, at the Scout Cabin. Get your order in early for sizes five to nine feet high, for $2.50 only. It was thought that inasmuch as the general public had contributed much to the Scout Cabin, there should be no high profiteering in the sale of Christmas trees, hence this low price. The legal name is now “Canada” and is not to be called “Dominion of Canada”. Canade has been the correct title since 1867.

; Community Planning ! Bureau Aids Illinois i Towns With Problems URBANA-CHAMPAIGN, 111. - Cities and villages in all parts of Illinois are becoming better places in which to live as a result of activities by a quietly-working unit of the University of Illinois—the bureau of community planning of the college of fine and applied arts. j Last year alone the bureau worked with more than 100 commu- ! nities of the state. Since 1938 it has contacted 73 per cent of the state’s cities and villages of 2,500 or more population, and nearly half of those j smaller. Prof. Don H. Morgan, consultant in the bureau, explains that to every i community, no matter how large or how small, plans for its feature are essential. Taking planning to the peeple of Illinois by going all over the state is the bureau’s job. i. At the request of various groups—i city or village administrations, : school or park districts, or local , committees—a member of the bu- ! reau’s staff goes to discuss local problems and possibilities at no cost to the community. They bring the j benefit of training and broad ex- ' perience. Professor Morgan explains that unplanned growth, or “spot planning” under which schools, parks, streets, and other local developments go their own ways without regard to each other, result in one community problem after another, while an over-all plan coordinates development and leads to a better community. The bureau also points out that had “over-all.” planning been available to many small towns 50 years ago, or even 20 years ago, they would not today be overcrowded and unattractive small cities. Communities in areas where new industries are likely to locate, of have already planned to locate, are especially in need of expert planning advice. Most states today have industrial boards and community planning groups which will give aid to small towns upon request. Fire Fighting Attracts Big Field Day Audience MIDDLEBURY, Vt. — Approximately 3,500 persons attended the recent Addison county field day, the largest attendance in the history of the event With emphasis on rural fire prevention, protection and control, field day goers thronged to the big tent where they witnessed blazing buildings, actual explosions, all in miniature, showing how easily common carelessness can bring about disaster. The volunteer fire department of the small town had the spectators on their toes as a small building saturated with gas and oil was ignited. Another building within three feet quickly caught fire and the only protection at hand was one pack pump, a fire pond and one bucket. The fire department was summoned and arrived minutes later in a pick-up truck with a portable pumper, two lines of hose and a handful of men. £ The demonstration was planned to show how a garden hose, or a pump could keep a fire in check, while other assistance was called. It also showed the importance of action during the first five minutes i of a fire, the value of a farm pond, how it could be reached with a I portable pumper and how any small , town, with a handful of interested volunteers, can add to the protection i of rural homes in case of fire. Hooking Rugs Proves Profitable Business For Small Maine Town TURNER VILLAGE, Me.—For Its aize, thia community has contributed perhaps more to glamorizing polished floors than any other hamlet in the United States. Boasting scarcely 1,000 citizens. Turner Village is proud of being the home of the oldest and largest hooked rug guild in operation. In a three-story frame bidding, some 60 employees—most of them women—turn out nearly a hilt million dollars’ worth of hookdc rugs annually. With the trend ‘toward smaller rugs and polished floors gaining momentum, folks «• Turn- i er Village hope to hit the nillion- I dollar mark some day in Ihe not- , too-distant future. Most of these employees live on farms where they arise betore sunup to do the chores. By sx o’clock in the morning they are hard at work in the Priscilla Turner Rug Guild plant. By noon. they are through for the day and heading back home to complete their farm work. Their six-hour stint at the factory contributes to an output of rugs that are sold all over the world, including Europe, Aistralia and Africa. The Guild, which in Maine parlance means partnership or corporation, was organized in 1923 by Harvey James I'eForest, a mechanical engineer vho believed that hooked rugs cot Id be turned out in mass volume. Until then, hooked rugs were rare, made prilcipally of strips of discarded clothss and based on a hazy tradition rs design. When DeForeg organized his rughookers—about 30 strong—they set up headquarters in a "gifain and wheat mill near the Neziscot river falls. By developing equipment which upped the production potential of a pair of rug-hooker’s hands, DeForest rocked other ruggers back on their heels with an initial annual output valued at $25,000. Since then the production has expanded 20-fold. Turning out 75 patterns in sizes ranging up to 14 by 27 feet, these rugged Maine people have developed a new and profitable industry • in this Little “Down East” town.

Wawasee Group Urges Auto Owners To Register In Turkey Creek Township

The Wawasee Property Owners Association has been attempt- ' ing in several ways the P ast year to improve conditions at the lake, and to bring about a better comI inunity. The people at the lake realize that the lake an d town and farm community is all tied up in the same package, and what is good for one is also good for all. One of the concrete ways in which the lake association is attempting to carry out the aim of community betterment is a recent letter mailed to all lake residents, urging them to register their private automobiles tor taxation in this township. Many oi these people already do this, but the lake association is urging >h' r. o do likewise. The letter iol’ows: Hello Lake Neighbor: I'oilowing is some information for you as a property owner on Lake Wawasee. One of the arguments against this Association s fight for road improvements is that roads are paid for mainly out of automobile I licenses and the money is allocated to communities in proportion to license fees collected. We are told that license fees for automobiles owned by lake property owners are usually paid in the sections where owners have their permanent residences and the fees are credited to those communities. This brings up a question. How can we build up property owners prestige for road improvement in our lake area? The answer is simple. Ask all property owrers to register their cars in Kosciusko County; the license fees will be the same BUT in most instances considerable savings can be made on the taxes assessed against your car. Many of our members are now doing this at a savings in taxes and at the same time adding force to our Association’s plea for more and better roads which would make for moie convenience and greater accessibility to our properties. I wpnier if you realize that more than 40’% of all taxes paid in our c>unty comes from property arourd the shores of our lakes. Aren ' we entitled to more consideration in our claim for a fair and eqiitable distribution of our

taxes? Over $10,00'0,000 of property values around Lake Wawasee should entitle the Property Owners’ Asocial ion to be heard. Individually we are impotent—collectively we have strength. Do you know of any reason why we should not cooperate in oi.r common interest? By registering your automobile ■n Kosciusko County, you can help a- an individual in a big way. These little things add up > courteous cooperation with the arneM efforts the Board of Diretors of the Association are trying so hard ot, accomplish—make our Lake Wawasee a fine comaunity with a purpose. Thank ot:. W. E Long, President, A Jack Tilson, Secretary-Manager, Wawasee Property Owners Association. TEEN-TIME Mary Lou Kirkwood at Principia College, St. Louis, Mo., had just one day off, Thanksgiving, but was allowed ‘off campus’ to return to school Friday. Mary Lou had a lovely time however, for she was Thanksgiving guest of a Day-pupil, Stephie McCandless, in St. Louis. Thoughts at the “big sing” Sunday afternoon at Warsaw: Wonder how many of these boys tied their first four-in-hand tie today; what’s the next step, bow tie and tuxedo? And they’ll all be grown up, entirely too soon—and this brings back memories of Girl Scouts in a play (last year) where they wore formals, and whoops! all of a sudden, even they seemed grown up. Jim Minier was “big time” at the Indiana Outboard Drivers’ Association banquet at the Four Flags Hotel, Niles, on Sunday. He was the youngest prize winner, and came home with the Drewry Traveling Trophy (if it is won three years it is permanent ownership), the High Point Trophy, for Class A Runabout, and the Mishawaka Traveling Trophy. Stover Hire went along for the ride and, quite evidently enjoyed the proceedings. Commodore Kinch presented the trophies.

TIMELY TOPICS By Mrs. Ruth R. Snellenberger Home Demonstration Agent Let's make turkey soup! Break up turkey carcass, place in container, with water (about 3 qts. for bones of a 12-pound bird). Add whatever seasoning you’d like s chopped onion, celery, and so forth (let me know if you’d like a recipe). Bring to boil, then turn burner to low heat, simmer for 3 hours. Before adding harlev. you can strain this and use as turkey stock for other preparations. If you’ve had your fill of turkey now but still have some left over, why not prepare turkey turnovers, or turkey pie and put in the freezer. Speaking of freezing things, I’d like to suggest freezing cranberries, either with or without sugar. Watch the price and buy when it is right. When making slip covers, plan to have extra squares of material to protect the arm and head rests. In Grandmother’s day, she crocheted squares for that purpose, didn’t she? One reason for the convenience of the U-shaped or L-shaped kitchen is that working centers and equipment can be at right angles to each other, thus in easy reach and sight with the minimum of walking. To illustrate: if sink and range centers are at Tight angles to each other, the housewife working at the sink need only turn her head to see what’s cboking. This saves time and trips. Brownie Scout News The Brownie Scouts had their regular meeting, Saturday, Nov. 17, at tfie Scout Cabin. The meeting was adjourned with roll call, and the five cent dues collected. The Brownies said their promise and repeated it several times for the benefit of new Brownies. Several songs were sung. The Brownies got to work and made pipe stem figures and little houses to be used at home for a center piece. The results were very cute and the girls were pleased. The meeting was closed with the good bye circle and the singing of “Taps”. XMAS WREATHS FOR SALE Girl Scouts are taking orders for Christmas wreaths of real holly, treated to stay beautiful several years. They come boxed, and keep their big red bows in shape.

The loss of liberty in general would soon follow the suppression of the liberty of the press; for it is an essential branch of liberty, so perhaps it is the best preservation of the whole. No nation, ancient or modern ever lost the liberty of freely speaking, writing, or publishing their sentiments, but forthwith lost their liberty in general and became slaves. — John Peter Zenger.
