Recommendations Made The recommendations that • , -made and-approved follow: "Whereas the committee is beartily fh sympathy with the man with the 'few base ami believes he should be helped if at all possible, and to that . #nd we recommend the following: ^ "1. That all base on milk be consid- 'ijred as personal property and that ^ill or any part thereof may be sold jnbject to the discretion of the local tv>v-- -#fficers. | "2.

A great deal of the day's discussion ^iad to do with the evening up of the |>ase, a feeling being prevalent that the man with the high base would be grilling to give 5 per cent to a neighbor with a low base, such willingness )>eing considered as the only way to :V|nake any adjustment. The time for Mmilding base was also discussed at "pome length. The meeting waa presided over by $j|f. S. McQueen, president of the Assodskrthm. Don N.

R. Bickler announced today. In this month the present members of the Legion will endeavor to contact every veteran of the World war in this country and inform him of the benefits that have accrued from his service through. successive legislative enactments and the program of the Legion, it was announced. Speaking of the "Mop-Up," Post Commander Wm. R. Bickler said, "This twelfth year of the Legion's eristence finds greater demand being made for constructive work than ever before. The ranks of our disabled comrades are constantly increasing, making necessary continued leadership to obtain adequate care. The ^number of dependent orphan children of our deceased domrades is increasing, requiring a large membership in the Legion to furnish funds, leadership and administration to insure them opportunities to which their parents' heroic service entitled them. "The Legion is a sound patriotic organization. It is interested in national defense and the pushing to a successful conclusion of universal service legislation which will be a big step not only to prevent wars but also to insure peace. The Legion has a child welfare program that has attracted national attention and benefitted all needy children. The 10,000 posts of the Legion are engaged in many worthwhile activities. The Legion has bteen instrumental in obtaining passage of almost all legislation of benefit to the disabled veteran. "The strength of the Region's program of service depends upon thhe membership. This year the Legion has set about signing up this membership early. The gaias this year have been' great. I wish to appeal to each and every ex-service man to attend the meetings. The Legion has much that will challenge the attention of every veteran. He will gain much from attending our meetings and participating in the Legion program." FINAL CURTAIN FOR THEATRE MAN JOHN W.

In order to meet as many McHenry county farmers possible, Friday evening has been set aside for a mass meeting to be held 'n the Woodstock Opera House, at 8 o'clock. The meeting is open to all interested, and especially members of the Pure Milk Association in this dia- For tiw second tlma ia the course of a flew short weeks one of McHenry's representative business men has answered his final summons and the community is bowed in sorrow at the death of John W. Smith, owner of the Empire theater. Mr. Smith, who bad been at the Woodstock hospital for the past four weeks, when he underwent an operation, hoping that it would help him to regain "his health, passed away about 4 o'clock Wednesday pioming, March 25, 1931, after a few days of intense suffering. His wife and brother spent much of their time at his bedside, staying in Woodstock constantly, and administered to his comfort as only loved ones can do, knowing that they could hold no hopes for his recovery. No one as popular as John W. Smith could pass away and not leave sorrow in the hearts of everyone who knew him for in his death McHenry has lost a most congenial citizen, a man who has been loved for his worth, his upright, just and honorable life and in his passing all hearts are saddened as they realize the loss of a true and trusted friends and a sincere and honest 'citizen. Always of a happy, jolly disposition he was ever ready with a cheery word of greeting and even during his illness he retained his good nature and won his way into the' hearts of his nurses and doctors as being a cheerful and agreeable patient, entertaining them with his anecdotes and impersonations. John Whitett Smith, 66 years old, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William E. Smith and was born at Aurora on June 21, 1864. Here he grew to manhood and on December 23, 1883, he was united in marriage to Mattie Mc- Omber of McHenry. Talented Cartoonist For three years after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Smith lived at Au rora, where he had served an apprenticeship in silver plating and design ing and was foreman in an egraving department in a store at Aurora. Mr Smith had a natural talent for drawing and designing and it was this that attracted him to cartooning. For about twenty years Mr. and Mrs. Smith travelled on the road with vaudeville and theatrical companies, where he pleased his audiences with his lightning cartoons and sketches, this talent furnishing him much enjoyment during his entire, lifetime Only a few months ago he completed an oil painting which he named "The Flaming Arrow," which exhibited his talent and skillful workmanship as he carried out the interesting story in colorful art. Opened "Empire" la 1818 In 1907 Mr. and Mrs. Smith settled in McHenry, where he took oVer the management of the Central opera house and kept it "Uhtil he opened his own theater in 1918. The "Empire has been McHenry's only theater for many years and will stand as a mon ument to the memory of its founder for many yean to come. The deceased was a member of the Mystic Workers and of the McHenry Country club, was interested in the civic betterment of the community and never failed to do his part in its various enterprises and activities. He is survived by his widow, who has been his constant companion, and two brothers, Lawrence B. Smith of Boston, Mass., and James H. Smith of Waukegan, 111., besides many friends. Funeral services will be held at the home at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, March 27, with Rev. N. E. Spicer, a retired Universalist minister of Oak Park officiating. Burial will be in Woodland cemetery.

On Friday, March IS, the local orchestra won first place in its class at the sectional meet for schools in Northern Illinois, held at Rockford and this entitled them to enter the state contest held at Springfield on Saturday. The word of the victory was received in McHenry shortly after noon on Saturday, when telegrams were received by parent^ of the orchestra members, telling of their success. "We Won," was the text of the telegrams and never did two small words convey more meaning than went into this expression of elation, and rejoicing and bursting enthusiasm as the young musicians shared their happiness with folks at home. The news spread like wild-fire and in less than an hour everyone in this vicinity was athrill with the news of victory and plans were started for a rousing reception to welcome the victorious orchestra members upon their return home Saturday evening. Interest in this successful organisation has been running high since their success at Rockford and their second victory on Saturday has won for them a place in the heart of every human citizen of McHenry, where only words of commendation for their effort were heard as they were welcomed as "McHenry's own." The twe selections placed by the orchestra at Sfpringfield were Mazurka and Sinfonietta, the first being the inquired number played by every orchestra in Class C. The competition was keen and it was only after much discussion and deliberation on the part of the judges that the verdict in favor of McHenry was given, with the Auburn orchestra coming in second and Macon third. As has been previously explained, Class C is comprised of competition between high schools of less than 260 enrollment; Class B is composed of schools, of between 250 and 750 enroll ment and Class A of schools over 750 enrollment. Dundee Wins Class B The Dundee orchestra, also directed by W. N. Sears, won first place in Class B, so the day was indeed one that this deserving director will long remember. The orchestra members left McHenry Friday morning at 7 o'clock in private cars donated and driven for the trip by parents and interested friends of the orchestra members and after having lunch at Bloomington they arrived in Springfield about 3 o'clock. Reservations for rooms at the St. Nicholas hotel had been made in advance by Representative Thomas A. Bolger, who also had two guides ready to show the McHenry crowd through the capitol and other state buildings, While they were unable to see Governor Emmerson, many of the sightseers sat in the chair used by the governor in his private office, which afforded a thrill next to shaking the hand of the state's chief executive. Lincoln's home was also visited and the Lincoln monument, which is now under construction, was inspected. Here, where Lincoln is buried, was seen a wreath sent by President Hoover on Lincoln's birthday in February. Upon the completion of this monument it is to be dedicated by President Hoover in July, when he will go to Springfield for that purpose. , At 8 o'clock Saturday morning the orchestra went to the high school for rehearsal and were in readiness for the opening of the contest at 10 o'clock. The Class C orchestras played first, followed by Class B, after which the winners of these two classes •vere announced, then followed the ^lass A contestants. After dinner the baggage and instruments were assembled for the homeward trip, the last cars leaving Springfield about 3 o'clock. Many amusing episodes of the trip are being told by the students ?nd adults and the memory of this nt will linger as an outstanding one for years to come. As is only to be exacted on a long trip or this kind, -ome car trouble was experienced, but fhe more than 400-mile round trip was made without serious mishap to anyone and only words of praise for the fine conduct of the young people were voiced by the drivers of the cars. Reception In Evening Upon their arrival in McHenry Saturday evening the tired but happy travelers were welcomed by parents and townspeople at the high school auditorium, where a reception was held in their honor. Music was fur nished by the city band, which played "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here" when the last contingent finally arrived. The orchestra members, with their leader, Miss Minnich, and Supt. C. H. Duker, were assembled on the stage and greeted with nfcich applause, after which remarks were made by Miss Minnich and Mr. Duker. A. E. Nye also made a short talk as did also Attorney C. M. McDermott, who emphasized the fine comqnunity spirit that he has observed during his short residence here. Sandwiches and coffee Were served to everyone present. The trip to Springfield was made possible only by the generous support given the orchestra by the business men and citizens of McHenry in their donations to a subscription list circulated during the week, by the card party sponsored by a group of ladies and by the fine attendance of patrons at the high school concert Thursday evening. In this way funds were raised to finance the trip and since the orchestra has come through victorious it is safe to say that no one regrets the support they have given to this fine organization. One outstanding characteristic of the people of McHenry is that they never fail to respond generously and willingly in a time of need and the present proves to be no exception to the rule. That their support is appreciated is very evident by the fsices beaming with happiness and the words of appreciation of the young musicians. May Go To National Of course, their thoughts are now turning to the National contest and their hopes are high that they will have an opportunity to attend this still greater event, the time and location of which has not yet been determined. Director W. N. Sears has already been instructing the orchestra in their required number for the national contest and his faith in his orchestra and in its patronjs/remains unshaken and he feels that they have a good chance to win in this final contest. Yes, Saturday was a big day in the history of the high school and of McHenry for the winning of a state championship is an event of which everyone may be justly proud. Those who furnished cars for the trip were: Fred Ferwerda, C. H. Duker, Miss Minnich, Gerald Newman, Dr. A. I. Froehlich, James Sayler, Wm. H. Althoff, J. J. Vycital, Albert Krause and A. E. Ny$. The silver cup, which the orchestra won at the sectional contest at Rockford on March 13, has arrived and occupies a place of honor in the trophy at the McHenry high school; Death last Saturday morning claimed ex-Senator Rodney B. Swift of Highland Park, prominent Lake county resident and leader in political circles for many years. Mr. Swift was taken ill before Christmas and had grown gradually worse ufttil death occurred Saturday. The ex-senator was 73 years of age. Until his defeat two years ago by Senator Ray Paddock he had been active in business and politics. Word of his death came as a shock to hundreds of Lake county residents and to many in McHenry county. He had lived in Lake county for almost a score of years. He was state senator from the Eighth senatorial district for three terms, four years each, retiring after his defeat by Senator Paddock in 1928. . For many years he was counsel for the International Harvester company and was a prominent factor in that immense firm's expansion during the past forty years. Senator Swift was born in Maine in 1856 and moved to Iowa as a boy. He graduated from the Iowa State College at Ames with the degree of Bachelor of Science in law. In 1900 he was awarded a gold medal and diploma by the French government for service in the progress of the world in agricultural devices. He was first elected to the state senate in 1916 to succeed the late Senator A. J. Olson, whose death occurred that year. He was re-elected in 1920 and 1924, and was defeated by Ray Paddock of Wauconda in 1928. He succumed at his home, 661 Crofton avenue, in Highland Park with members of his family at his side. He is survived by his widow and three children, Rodney, Jr., Genevieve and Frances. His passing will mark the absence of an honored and respected citizen of Lake county and will be mourned by a host of friends by whom Mr. Swift was held in high regard all over the Eighth senatorial district.
