Congratulations, Bureau County Rural 



Youth upon your community service 

 through the waste paper collection ! The 

 facts concerning your recent drive for waste 

 paper collection are outstanding. It was 

 supervised by Rural Youth; assisted by Boy 

 Scouts, 4-H Clubs, rural and village schools, 

 and other civic groups. Some 105 tons of 

 vitally needed waste paper were collected in 

 60 days, five railroad boxcars were filled 

 and more than $1200 was netted from the 

 sale of this waste paper. All money received 

 was turned over to war relief agencies, in- 

 cluding community war chests, USO and 

 Red Cross. 



The Randolph and Tazewell County Rural 



Youth groups have recently studied and re- 

 vised their Rural Youth constitutions. Why 

 not make the changes that bring the Rural 

 Youth up with the times? 



Warren county cooperated with Fire Pre- 

 vention Week, October 8-14. "Country Cap- 

 ers" newsletter of the organization featured 

 a good article on causes and prevention of 

 fires. 



A former Rural Youther of Macoupin 

 county, Miss Lucille Denby, now with the 

 University of Illinois Rural Sociology Ex- 

 tension, is scheduled for a square dance 

 training school in LaSalle county on Nov. 8. 



Lucille is to be commended upon her new 

 position as is the LaSalle County Rural 

 Youth for its efforts to balance the recrea- 

 tional and educational features of its pro- 

 gram as well as to improve recreation. 



President Franklin Allen of Tazewell 

 County sends this significant item, "We are 

 stretching out election oyer three meetings 

 to brush up on parliamentary procedure. 

 First meeting, nomination of candidates for 

 office; second meeting, election of officers; 

 third meeting, installation of officers." 



Rural Youth want to do the job right 

 and here is a helpful, training process for 

 new officers as well as for all in the group. 



Marshall-Putnam and Tazewell County 



Rural Youth groups are sending Christmas 

 boxes to members from their counties in 

 the armed forces. 



New groups organized within the state 

 during 1944 are going well. These are the 

 St. Clair county group, the Forreston Com- 

 munity group in Ogle county, and the South, 

 or Geneva Community group in Kane coun- 

 ty. 



Hats off to the Cook county group for 



the third issue of its newsletter "Ruralite." 

 By illustrative drawings, by good makeup, 

 by well-written items it is publishing a good 

 newsletter. 



Montgomery County Rural Youthers 



visited a glass factory in Hillsboro in Sep- 

 tember. President Kenneth Wilson writes, 

 "We saw the production of glass from the 

 drying ingredients to the finished jars 

 packed ready for shipment."
