. e have chosen as our theme-Illinois. The scenic beauty, thriving industries, and prairie farms of this mid-western state play an outstanding part in the life of our great nation. Illinois may well be considered the manufacturing center of the Middle West due to her advantageous position, waterways, and natural resources. Photographs of the coal mines and oil wells have been placed within these pages to give you some idea of the extent of manufacturing in Illinois. The iertile tarmlands of this prairie state produce rustling green corn and huge fields oi golden wheat, while highly productive orchards, by their symmetry, add beauty to the spacious countryside. The ex- cellent photography oi such rural scenes as fields of grain, orchards, and views of typical farming country have been used to illustrate the agricultural importance of Illinois. Rolling fields, tall trees, and winding rivers are typical ot the tranquil beauty of Illinois scenery. Throughout the book you will find visible evidence of this in pictures of the State Parks, forest preserves, Brookfield Zoo, and Lake Michigan. The theme has been carried to completion through the literature presented in our book. Stories, poems, interviews, and articles all have Illinois as their background. We present this Iune' 1945 Courier with the hope that it will strengthen your pride in this great state. ELAINE HOCKINSON, ROBERT ALLISON.
