HONOR FATHER NEIDERT AT BENEFIT DANCE AT JOHNSBURQ NOVEMBER 6 Next Wednesday evening, November 6, the people of Johnsburg will turn out to pay homage to Rev. A. J. Neidert, pastor of St. John the Baptist church at Johnsburg, who, during the past two years of his pastorate at that parish, has exerted his every effort to better the community. Through his pleasing personality, this humble priest has won the confidence and respect of his many parishioners and friends of the church and through their co-operation has done much to make the vicinity of Johnsburg a more comfortable place to live in. He has done much for society through the organization of clubs and societies and has done much to brighten the moral outlook of the people. Thus, in appreciation of his great works, the people have planned to honor Father Neidert next Wednesday evening at a dance which will be held at Nell's pavilion, Johnsburg. Three societies, the Foresters, the Holy Name society and the Johnsburg Community club are responsible for instigating this activity which will be called "Father Neidert Night." Barbara Horick and her orchestra will furnish the music. The public is cordially invited to join in the fun. NAMES AND NUMBERS OF LOCAL DRAFT REGISTRANTS The names of the towns in this.list j are abbreviated as follows: McHenry i (M), West McHenry (WM), Spring Grove (SG), Johnsburg (J), Ringwood (R), Wonder Lake (WL).

He was very serious while talking about the danger of being attacked by some foreign power and how important it is to build up our defense to keep enemies away from our shores. Shortly thereafter the President told his auditors, which not only included those in the auditorium but millions of anxious listeners at their radios, that he was going to let them in on a secret. The silence that followed indicated that the audience expected something of great importance. Here was the great secret: "I am enjoying this camjwign. I am having a good time." Is this the time for the leader of ISO million people to be having H good time? He who says himself that he dare not get more than twelve hours away from the nation's capital on account of the seriousness of the danger which confronts this country.,. In this issue are printed the numbers and names of more than half a thousand young men of this community who are subject to the draft for service in the army. They are patriotic Americans and wfll go out and do their duty. But are they feeling so joyful about it? Very few of them but who have either mothers, wives or sweethearts •who are worrying about what the future holds. They are not having a good time. How can the President feel that he is having 6 "good time" during this campaign when he Realizes that he has been deserted by such of his former loyal supporters like Jim Farley, John Garner, Raymond Moley, Carter Glass, A1 Smith. John L. Lewis and dozens of other top-notch Democrats who have either opposed him openly or remained silent during the campaign? In a former speech the President stated: "I am ah old campaigner Md I love a fight." Evidently by remote control, in radio language. In 1916, when the campaign was on and conditions regarding threatened war were very similar, Wood row Wilson was promising to keep the country out of war, but nobody ever heard of him saying be was having a "good time" over it. Right now the New Deal bands do not seem to be playing the S&Tte theme as in 1936, "Happy Days Are Here Again." Wendell Willkie is not having a good time either, but plenty of hard work fighting his battle against the third term. Voters are asked to choose between these two men to lead the American people during the next four years. / 16--Henry J. Weber, (M) 17--Alfred Tonyan, (M) 18--Floyd E. Covalt, Jr., (M) 20--Walter F.

John C. Nepermann, near Dundee farmer, reported something unusual in the way of blooming fruit trees last week. Three of Mr. Nepermann's pear trees were blooming in full array, a rare thing at this -time of the No doubt, many of you golfers who have taken a fancy to putting around the McHenry Country club course, or perhaps others who delight in meandering around the wooded drive in the country club subdivision watched the progress last year on a rather spacious country home which took formation near the clubhouse itself, directly across the creek which bounds the golf course. The narhe of Glenn Wetly was imprinted on the mail box. This year the pa&sersby again had' the opportunity of witnessing the erection of another similar home on a couple of lots adjoining the first. The" naiW of Edward Peabody has been associated with this house. There is nothing really spectacular about building a coup'e of houses, but it might be interesting to get acquainted with the people who are to call these places "home " and to di»- cover how they happened along. Since most of this story comes from the lips of Mr. Peabody, better known to the world as the "King of the Banjo," it might be well to go back several years, to 1917. At this time "E<ldie" had just passed his fourteenth birthday, and was accepted into the U. S. Navy. For five years he served in the submarine service, before, during and after the World War. As he had always been interested in music, he decided to make a living as a musician, particularly a violinist. A few times he also appeared on the stage with a four chord banjo, a borlowed one at that, and accompanied this by a song and dance act. According to Mr. Peabody, somebody discovered him. thought him "cute and clever," and gave him a job playing the banjo. Thus he received his start on the road to fame and since that time he has been abroad four times, having spent seven years in Europe. He is able to play over thirty stringed instruments, "some better, some worse." We might go on for pages and pages, telling of the times he starred in shows on the radio, stage and 'X'SR . . . year.

Two persons were seriously injured Monday morning, October 21, in an airplane crash, which was first reported to have occurred at Volo, but in reality happened five miles southeast of Elgin. The injured were: Manley Pibble, 20, pilot of the plane, a student at the North Central College in Naperville, and the Rev. Franklin D. Loehr of the First Congregational church of Naperville, a member of the North Central College faculty records he has made, and of the countless times he has been a guest on famous programs, such a<* the "Show Boat." But at (present, Mr. Peabody is best known through his affiliation with the National Barn dance, which is sponsored by the Alka Seltzer corporation.

Elmer Prain, manager of the Genoa exchange of the DeKakb-Ogle Telephone £o., is recovering at the Sycamore hospital from injuries sustained last Wednesday forenoon, when he fell from a pole, one of the pole steps pentrating the abdomen wall.

A North Chicago colored man who said he has spent twelve of his thirtyfive years in prison last Friday confessed to Waukegan police to burglarizing the Waukegan Lumber and Coal Co. office of $240.

William Britton, 23, and William Henry McMurray, 31, both of suburban Evanston, were named as th° first two volunteers to be designated by a Cook county draft board for the one year enlistment under the Selective Service act.

Watrous, 78, a resident of Lake county for seventy-five years and a retired hardware merchant, died last Friday night at his home, 433 Gillett avenue, Waukegan, following an extended illness.

After the "Rouse was completed, the Weltys invited their friends to enjoy a bit ot this de ightful country air ana a few rounds of golf at various times, and on ore occasion, the Peabodys were happy to be included in the party. The more they saw of the country- - •Mde in this rather ancient city of McHenry, since it was realty one of the first in the state to be settled, the more they were attracted by the location.
