DESERVE DEC. 8 m
CENTENNIAL CHART

Springfield. Ill, Oct 14-In a
letter addressed to local centennial
organizations throughout the state
Hugh S. MagiIl, Jr, director of the
centennial celebration, today urged
the observance of Dec. 3, the actual
centennial of the admission of Illi-
rOis into the union, as an occasion
for looking forward into the new
century and a consideration of the
problems that must be met in the
reconstruction period after the war.
1t is the feeling of the Illinois
centennial commission that as Dec.
5 actually begins the second cen
fury of statehood. the day should be
observed. especially by looking into
the future. rather than by a. con-
sideration of the past Throughout
the year celebrations have been
held which have had for their pur-
pose the reviewing of the history
of Illinois, but on this occasion the
reconstruction which is to come
with the new century is considered
the more important
Mr. MaEill urges addresses along
this line to be given at meetings
held in every community and that
school uperintendents emphasize
it in programs gwen in public
schools.
