The town sees many teachers and students home for Christmas. A Hancock county woman left 3000 dollars to fund meals for the poor in Monticello and Carthage townships. Thrift stamps and war savings certificates are explained by local post officials. Every woman in Jubilee District 46 is registered, with Miss Hilda Grant aiding. A sewing room opens on the east side.
