V. Lanigan. passenger traffic manager of the Illinois Central System.

The plan goes into operation May 20. The prospective traveler, under the plan, simply applies to his travel agent or railroad ticket agent indicating the extent and cost of his proposed trip. After a routine credit check, the agent issues the necessary tickets and the traveler pays for them in convenient monthly installments like he pays for his automobile. The service includes all-expense tours as well as rail fare, so vacationists may purchase their entire trips by this method, including Pullman, hotel expenses, meals and specified side trips. The applicant for credit service is notified within twenty-four hours whether his application has been ac cepted.

He signs a contract only with the agent from whom he purchases the tickets. A nominal carrying charge is the only additional expense. The only restrictions placed on the service are that the trip must cost at least $50 and the service must be bought through the railroad. No collateral is required, simply the signature of the applicant. His credit is checked through normal channels and if he is found able to make the regular monthly payments, he is accepted.

Sixty-five other railroads have joined the Illinois Central in the new service and it may be used in traveling anywhere. "It is particularly significant that the railroads have worked out this new service during Travel America Year proclaimed by the president," said Lanigan. "It will give thousands of Americans who want to travel, but can't spare the cash in a lump sum, the opportunity to enjoy the best there is in vacations. "National surveys have indicated that thousands of Americans are forced to forego vacation trips because they are temporarily short of hard cash at the only time of year when they can get away from business." Lanigan continued. "The new credit plan solves that problem.

"Still others curtail their trips because they cannot afford to spend as much in a lump sum as they would like. Here again the service will be a big help. "It will allow families to travel in the greatest comfort and extend their trips to their hearts' desire without exhausting the family budget with a sudden demand for a large cash payment." THE MANGIUM JUNIOR 4-II CLUB On May 15, the Mangham Junior 4-H Club held its regular monthly meeting with Miss Pearl Le Fevre and Mr Bennie Boughton, and twenty-five members answering to roll call. After the business session presided over by Leonard B. Archibald, Miss Le Fevre discussed plans for Achievement Day with the girls and Mr.

Boughton talked to the boys about hog vaccination. At 12:30, Wednesday, the club held a call meeting with the local leader. Miss Bessie Noble, at the school house. The meeting was opened by singing the first stanza of our national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." The secretary, Anita Longkabel, gave a treasurer's report after which she urged every member to pay his dues before Achievement Day, May the 25th, in order that the club might be one hundred per cent paid. A new name, "The Live Wires," was voted upon and selected for the club.

After reports from the various project leaders were heard, the meeting adjourned until Tuesday preceding Achievement Day on the following Saturday. REPORTER "How children's taste do change as they grow up," complained the mother. "When my two children were small, Johnny loved the sailors, and Mary was mad about brightly painted dolls, but now Mary is mad about sailors and Johnny runs after every painted doll he sees." We quarrel about the slightest things, I'm all upset and harried. We're getting on each other's nerves. It's time that we got married.
