JUNE, 15, 1939: The Oldeat '.Inha bitant This news-magazine is seeking the oldest contmbuous resident of New 1eier township. Not the oldest in point of years, but oldest in number of:consecutive years lived within the township. It believes that there are rnany men and women, who have been resi- dents -here suffiiently long to be entitled 'to distinction. Also, these men and women *are sources of information of early days in the township that has real historie value and should be collected' while'yêt thère fs thie. ýOn n other page of this issue will be found a cou- pon for çonvenience in making entries. If you know of one who has lived here a great many years, send in the name and address-, and thus help to render a real service to coming generations. The. Bathing Beach The bathing beach will be open this week- end, oftering the finest of faciities for aquatie sports anid ;the enjoy*nent of bath- ing under, the protection of competent guards and in water. as near compietely unpolluted as it is possible to find. Many fixud their greatest sùmmer enjoy- ment on the beach and in the water. It is therefore difli cuit to understand why so many people living aiong the lake go to such trouble to bathe in small rivers and_ý inland, lakes, where there is frequently a complete absence of supervision, and no men and women of influexice raise their voices in ýdefense of the* American. form of representative republîcan. government. With Catholic, Protestantt and Jew stand-. ing shoulder to shoulder ,in opposition to. the-acceptanice of any foreign ideology that will break down, the principles upon:which the American constitution was founided, there is little, danger "that national freedom. and individual liberty will be destroyed. But the formidable forces attempting such, destruction cari be- overcom e only by united Catholics, Protestants .and,,Jews. Pastoral Raptures -A Chcago cotributoe to a 1coetemporary describes a recent Sunday visit to anIflli1- nois farm. If all she says is true, and far be it from us to raise an eyebrow at any statement a lady makes, the original "for- gotten man" has found himself, and is now being gently rocked in the lap of iuxury. The enraptured correspondent tells of the beautiful farm homes noted on the way, most of the buildings freshly painted, ail in first class repair and only an occasional one showing negleet. The row on row of sturdy corn,; the huge barnis fllled with sleek, fat. cattle which, by now,,are in coolers at the stock yards; the real cream, the luscious ,_ strawberries; the delicious, well-browned fried chicken (O, boy!); the hot roils and green vegetables, Anid home and barni equpme~t:Electric ights and running water in the barns, enameled electric ne- firigerators and stoves in the homes. But there is a "fly in the ointment" of al this prosperity and enjoyment of the good *Michigan is efjôyihg a bumper crop of straw- bernies. If Minnesota will. corne through with an equal crop of biscuits, there should be short- cake for everybody. A North Shore matron who recently became possessed of a new portable radio took the instrument to . ;tbe garden for entertainment, wbile she icultivated her fiowers.. A1 sudden shower coming up she grabbed the radio and as. she did so a, voice' came over the ether waves: "Hey, wbere are you going?" This, is tbe answer he got: «I'm taking you into the bouse so you won't get wet." Hill Blackett of Wifinetka,- is the neW !Republi- can national cmitea from Illinois.

Long have we scanned the advertising pages in hope of running across a leather goods xnanù- facturer smart enough to make and offer a band- bag for men. It is the crying need of the hour.

There are few feminina per- quisites tbat we envy, but the handbag is cer- tainiy onae. Sbould an acquaintance meet you on the street and remark, "Wbat you been doing to yourself? You look like 30 cents," don't be offerxded. He is really paying you a'fine compliment. One of those scientifie fellows in whomn we bave great confidence, has discovered that tbe average man, on the basis of ebemical composition, is worth 8 cents at prevailing cbain drug store pmrices. So, to say that an 8-cent cbap looks like' 30 cents is a sweil compliment. That is, if he isn't spoofing. o b"Catholic, Protestant and Jew are united in their faith.inii the Stars and Stnipes.
