A TWO-DAY sightseeing and vaca- 

 tion trip to Chicago, including 

 luncheons, guest appearances at radio 

 programs, and tours of art centers, was 

 enjoyed by 108 La Salle County Home 

 Bureau members recently. 



The rural women traveled in a caravan 

 of three busses, stopping first at the 

 Merchandise Mart where they heard Don 

 McNeil conduct his morning breakfast 

 club. Mrs. Glenn Ford was interviewed. 



They then were shown through the 

 Board of Trade. Later they were es- 

 corted by guide through the Continental 

 Illinois National Bank and Trust Com- 

 pany building where they were luncheon 

 guests. 



After lunch many went shopping. Their 

 next stop was Chinatown where the group 

 ate dinner and afterwards attended the 

 play, "John Loves Mary." 



During the trip the group visited the 

 Art Institute where they had a first hand 

 chance to admire the fine art and skilled 

 workmanship in a display of French 

 tapestries.
