4 WW Fliers Have Sunday Cruise One of the newest types of parties for fun over the weekend is for a group of aviators to fly to various airports, partaking of a progressive dinner where food to be had. Three planes left the Decatur airport on such a cruise Sunday, each carrying two persons. Heading for Terre Haute, the first plane navigated "off course" to land at the Dalton City airport because of an overly-heated engine. The aviatresses. in the rear, might have been baffled at the course, but they did not lose the party.

After rising from the Dalton City field the planes made their next stop at Terre Haute. They ate lunch there and flew on to Danville where the aviatresses got stuck in the mud. After coming back to Decatur the latter decided not to land but continued to Springfield for early supper near the airfield. Twelve of the 17 charter members An informal tea in the home of Mrs. Alberta Barnes Beall, 409 Powers lane, honored Mrs.

Bar-nice Van der Vries Monday afternoon. The two women had known each other previously in Chicago. Mrs. Van der Vries came here to speak to the Decatur Business and Professional women in the evening in the Decatur Club. As a member of the Illinois House of Representatives from the seventh senatorial district, Mrs.

Van der Vries is to present four bills sometime during the present session. Two of them will come up today. One of these is for the prevention of apprenticeship of beauty culture shops after 1941. She is sponsored by the Beauty Culture association as it has found that such apprentices do not learn as much as the regular student in a beauty culture school. A bill pertaining to school funds is the second one to be presented today by Mrs- Van der Vries.

It would have the use of educational funds and building funds inter true tales, based on the great adventure stories of history, told in picture form. It has been found that stories told in picture form, with only small amounts of reading matter are of much more interest to children than the same stories in prose. m. "The Decatur Day Nursery has always found the comics to be the most popular reading matter among the children, and is now using the new True Comics magazine. It is proving very popular, and the new heroes of the Day Nursery children not the impossible supermen, but real men who are accomplishing or have accomplished great things.

"READER." Comic magazines would not be so vicious if they were not so hidsous as to art, and so silly as to story. Just a little more effort would make them safer for children, just as they are now. Why must cartoonists think that to be funny they have to be distorted and ugly? Som? of the pictures make even an adult shudder away. L. R.

"The Comic Magazine of today is taking the place of the dime novel of the older generation. "It is not a reading diet that any responsible adult would wish for a child, and yet it is a diet which is unbelievably popular with children. It is easy to see why. The magazines are colorful, quick and easy to read, telling a story with pictures. The stories furnish adventure, tales of daring and courage, and a chance for hero worship.

"It is estimated that between 12 and 15 million copies of the so-called comic magazines are bought by the children each month, at an annual expenditure of 15 million dollars; and most of the magazines carry a type of comic which no respectable newspaper would publish. 't "In an effort to counteract the influence of these popular comic magazines, the editors of Parent's Magazine, believing that substitution is better than prohibition, are launching a new magazine, True Comics. "These are tales of adventure, daring and courage, but they are Colds Go Down Miss Mary V. Love, Miss Sarah Dawson, Miss Rose Ruckle, Miss W. St.
