The Producers Gioperative Dairy of 



Quincy recently doubled the size of 

 its "milk bar" in downtown Quincy. 

 "Our business got too large to accom- 

 modate in our previous quarters and 

 we had to enlarge," reports "Mose" 

 Crocker of the dairy. 



In a recent Chicago newspaper ar- 

 ticle, the Dairy Products Marketing 

 Association was credited with holding 

 Chicago butter prices 25% higher than 

 they would have been otherwise. A 

 25% lower butter price would have 

 meant a 19c butter price instead of 

 25l/^c. The article was critical of the 

 operation of the Dairy Products Mar- 

 keting Association. 



Milk deliveries to homes only six 



days a week have been instituted on 

 some milk routes in Peoria by several 

 dealers.

The Chicago Federal milk investiga- 

 tion is still going strong with hundreds 

 of witnesses and tons of records sub- 

 poened for inspection. Don Geyer, 

 former secretary-manager of Pure Milk 

 Association, was recently subpoened to 

 appear before the federal grand jury 

 in connection with the investigation. 



OCTOBER, 1938 



Women's Events at 



The Sports Festival 



By NELL FLATT GOODMAN. 

 Home Bureau Editor 



y\ -NDER the direction of Mrs. 

 ^-JL/ Spencer Ewing, state chairman 



L^ °f recreation for Illinois Home 

 Bureau, women's events at the Sports 

 Festival took a new turn this year. 

 Judging from the interest shown by the 

 women participating, the program was 

 a popular one. Miss Clareta Walker, 

 Macoupin County Home Adviser as- 

 sisted with arrangements. 



As a suggestion for recreational 

 sports for women to be played around 

 the home, in basement rooms or at 

 community affairs, chair quoits, paddle 

 tennis, shuffle-board, clock golf, and 

 dart throwing were included in the 

 program of events. 



Mrs. Elwood Stewart, McLean coun- 

 ty, is the state shuffle-board champion. 

 With mop stick and coasters she won 

 this event after a hard-fought battle 

 with Minnie Herten of Shelby county. 



Paddle tennis, the most active game 

 of the series, was won by Mrs. Otis 

 Kiesow of Peoria. So youthful in ap- 

 pearance she almost had to present 

 her marriage license to prove that she 

 was out of the 4-H class. Mrs. Kiesow 

 is an ardent fan. She would like to 

 see this game played again at the 

 Sports Festival with more definite boun- 

 daries and set rules. Chlorine Frey, 

 Madison county, was the runner up. 



In dart throwing, Mrs. Hubert Pe- 

 ters, Champaign county, proved to be 

 the most skillful. Mrs. John Morris. 

 Peoria county, placed second. Mrs. 

 Peters took an easy stance and tossed 

 the darts to the bullseye with the pre- 

 cision and control of a 'veteran. Miss 

 May Pixley, serving as a pinch ringer 

 for her sister who had won the county 

 event but had to be at school, won the 

 chair quoits handily by proving a trifle 

 more accurate than Mrs. Francis Crang 

 of DeWitt county. 



Three different games of clock golf, 

 a contest similar to croquet with a 

 center flag and pegs at intervals around 

 as on a clock face, had to be played 

 before the winner was announced. Mrs. 

 Frank Reid, LaSalle county, placed 

 first, Mrs. B. Fincham. McLean county, 

 second and Mrs. McCrackcn. Greene 

 county, third. 



Suggestions offered for improving 

 the program another year include hav- 

 ing the dart throwing away from the 

 crowd, having more definite rules, and 

 provide more sheltered spots for clock 

 golf and chair quoits. 



Mrs. Minnie Herten, Shelby county, 

 came to the Sports Festival to have fun 

 and she did. Some of the women entered 

 one contest and some another, but 

 Mrs. Herten entered all three, shuffle- 

 board, paddle tennis, and dart-throw- 

 ing. 



Besides the Sports Festival, Mrs. 

 Herten was celebrating her birthday. 

 According to her plan, the best way 

 to do that is to get into things. The 

 first day she took her turn at paddle 

 tennis, then dashed back to the shuffle- 

 board court to push a neat mop stick. 



Mrs. Herten was president of the 

 Shelby County Home Bureau last year 

 and is serving as recreation chairman 

 this year. She has visited many Illinois 

 State Parks, one of this year's projects 

 of the Home Bureau. Traveling is the 

 business of this Home Bureau member. 

 She is supervisor of sales teams for a 

 company out of New York. 



"I make it a point to be home in 

 time for Home Bureau meetings once 

 a month," Mrs. Herten said. "I enjoy 

 the program. In my work efficiency 

 counts. So I like to know how best 

 to refinish floors, decorate walls, and 

 cook. Seeing a demonstration of bak- 

 ing a cake is like seeing a play. Any- 

 thing acted out leaves so much more 

 impression than reading the same thing 

 in a magazine." Mrs. Herten thought 

 the Sports Festival was a great success. 

 She said, "I came to have fun, and I 

 did."
