Freund was elected grand knight of the Knights of Columbus to serve for the ensuing year at the election meeting held last Thursday evening in the K. of C. hall.

NEW FIRE CHIEF Effective Monday, June 12, at the regular meeting of the McHenry firemen, Harold Hobbs took over his Hew duties as fire chief, replacing Gus Freund, who resigned after serving capably for ten years in that position. The latter will now act as trustee of the McHenry Township Fire Protection district, serving with Anton M. Schmitt and Joseph Regner. The seventeenth judicial circuit, composed of Lake, Winnebago, Boone and McHenry counties, may be split into two districts if plans of the Lake County Bar Association go through. In emphasising why this split is necessary, an increase from 167 cases filed in the office of the circuit court clerk in 1900 to 1,521 in 1949 was disclosed. The association voted several weeks ago to promote the split, which would put Lake and McHenry counties in one circuit with three judges. The move would make easier the settlement of litigation and would eliminate many costly procedures which now exist, it is argued. Three judges, Ralph J. Dady of Waukegan, William R. Dusher of Rockford and William M. Carroll of Woodstock, have charge of the entire district now, with the latter helping out in Boone, Lake and Winnebago as well as handling legal matters in McHenry county.
