Bond County has been holding summer 



meetings at the homes of some of the mem- 

 bers. 



Washington county announced launching 



of a publication with "Starring First Issue 

 Rural Youth." It was well done with suc- 

 ceeding issues of the same high caliber. En- 

 rollment — 160 members. . , 



Secretary Mary Gavin of Warren reports 



that one of the big summer events was a 

 barn dance attended by 125 members. 



Clark is working for a better organization. 



They have recently studied and presented the 

 history of Rural Youth in Illinois and dis- 

 cussed future plans. Prediction: Success. 



Christian's August meeting was planned as 

 a home-coming event. 



Logan believes in the early form of loco- 

 motion of the human race. A hike to 

 Pattsville Park led by Doris Gehlbach was 

 rewarded by games and a big watermelon 

 treat. 



St. Clair celebrated its birthday at the first 



annual meeting on July 29 at Shiloh Valley 

 Grange. President Russell Flarreich pre- 

 sided with Farm Adviser B. W. Tillman and 

 Organization Director E. R. Keim address- 

 ing the group. Present goals — larger 

 membership and greater achievements. 



Two interesting educational features were 



included in the summer program of the Mc- 

 Henry County Crystal Lake Wildcats. They 

 were "Two Family Farm Business" and "The 

 Banquet." The latter is a discussion of table 

 etiquette. Two big dances have been in- 

 cluded, also. The Hebron group held a 

 July picnic at Linn Pier, while the Harland 

 Club enjoyed a hayride and a weiner roast. 

 All eight clubs sponsored the annual youth 

 picnic on July 22. 



Stephenson held an overnight camp in 



Krape Park, Freeport, July 21 and 22.

 the South Pacific campaign, was recently dis- 

 charged from the Army.

boys — worked all day July 4 to help

 tornado area near Prairie Center. A soft- 

 ball tourney and sport's festival (attendance 

 — 95) have been two interesting summer 

 projects. 



Woodford is among the counties which 



ranks high in community service. A contri- 

 bution of money to Mayo hospital at Gales- 

 burg to assist in buying furnishings for the 

 sun porch will mean much to the service- 

 men. 



Ogle's recent double feature should mean 



much in terms of practical education: slides 

 on soil conservation and a demonstration on 

 cake decorating. Then came cake and ice 

 cream for refreshments. 



Pfc. Donald Dickenson spent a 30 day 

 furlough in Edgar county in July and August

 wishes. Possibilities appear encouraging.
