The unusually large number of friends who came to pay their last respects to Mr. Conway's memory was • living testament to the truth of the speaker's words and to the loss the ' eommuniy has sustained in the death of this well-loved citizen.

In every case where practicable, Mr. McHENRYITES SHOULD FILE SOCIAL SECURITY fcLAIMS AT WAUKEGAN Qualified individuals living in Lake and McHenry counties who wish to file claims for old-age and survivors insurance benefits may file through the Waukegan field office of the Social Security Board regardless of the place of previous employment. According to Albert S. Lewis, manager of the Waukegan field office, it has recently been brought to his attention that many employees believe they must file claims for benefits in the community in which they were employed Consequently, the claimants may have been put to unnecessary expense and inconvenience with resulting delay in the development and payment of their claims. As the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance is an agency of the Federal Government, operating on a nation-wide «cale, the services of the Waukegan field office are available to any employee regardless of the place where the social security account number was issued or the employment occurred. A representative of the Waukegan office visits McHenry on the second Thursday of each month and is stationed in the post office from 2 p. m. to 4p. m. The next visit will be on December 12 when he will assist any qualified individual who wishes to file a claim or obtain information concerning qualifying requirements.

They will be called upon to offer voluntary assistance to further the efforts of the American Red Cross. , It is needless to give a detailed account of the actions of this organization, for they are known to every man, woman and child. It is also needless to say that the Red Cross is in dire need of funds at this particular time, due to the critical stage which the world is undergoing. And so, you are kindly asked to cooperate with Homer Fitzgerald, the local chairman, and his band of workers, in their effort to help the great cause. The workers who are assigned to collect the donations are as follows: Mrs. Viola Lowe, Ringwood; Evelyn Michels, Johnsburg; Mrs. Jake Stoffel, Mrs. Maurice Taxman, Mrs. Geo.

That's the thought that's confronting William ("Bill") Gerber of the National Guard, who is also proprietor of the Midget Eat shop in Antioch. Gerber has received notice that he may soon be summoned to the Armory in Chicago to supervise preparation of meals for a couple of days--for about 1,000 men. Mark Matthews, son of William G.

Claxton. Mrs. Dreymiller was known and well liked by almost everyone in the community since she had spent her entire lifetime in McHenry. Pearl Claxton was bom March 16, 1891, on the old Claxton homestead, about a mile east of McHenry on route 20, the place in which she spent all of her forty-nine years. She was the eldest daughter of John F. and Mercy Elizabeth Freyer Claxton, who settled on the homestead in 1882. She received her education in the McHenry schools, having been graduated from the McHenry High school with the class of 1909. After further training, she returned to the Public Grade school to teach the primary grades. For several years she was fondly known as "Miss Pearl" to each succeeding class.

NUMBERS ASKED TO REPORT TO AUTHORITY Once again we request, if you have not received a number for your house, please report to A. E. Nye, chairman of the house numbering committee and he will assign your numbers. In case you are one of the persons who does not understand the numbering system, we wish to inform you that Green street and Elm street are the dividing lines for the city and each one is called the 100 block. Pearl street, for instance, is the 200 block, since it is the second block north of Elm street. Waukegan street, however, which is the street south of Elm =tret, is called the 300 block becac Residence Changes Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wegener moved Sunday from the Simon Stoffel place on Waukegan street • into an apartn^nt in the Henry Dowe home on the same street. Mrs. Albert Vales, daughter. Dolores, and William Marshall attended the wedding of the former's niece. Miss Florence Vales, who became the bride of Raymond Kopriva last Thursday. and is therefore, divided into two blocks. Thus, the numbers between Elm and Pearl streets will range from 100 to 200 north. The same numbers will cecur south of Elm street, but they wilf be distinguished by the word south, which will tell you that they are located south of Elm street. Tho same arrangement applies to the streets east and west of Green street. Then too. all of the odd number* have been placed on the north sides of the streets, and all the even are on the sooth and east sides.
