Let's hope that we can hold the pace. McHENRY ILLINOIS, U. S. A fr4 by Lucile Bernard ^ A town--Where people kilow the true meaning of democracy. They don't just talk about it. They lire itf Where Catholic, Jew and Protestant Join hands to put over a good program for the benefit of the entire community. - Where a young woman Editor and Journalist is not too proud or too busy to direct a choral group made- up of people of all national- 'ttes and creeds. Wh^j-e doctor, teacher, mechanic and laborer can get together for evening of fun. Where during a parade wh throngs- of people were cheering in the streets, a beauty queen remembered a little friend who lived on the second floor of a building, and took time to wave. Where Ross Siragosa chose to .uanufacture some of his Admiral ,'adiofl and televisions. His factory is democracy itself. For the problems of one employee become the problems of all. They pitch in and lend a hand. Where the theatre owner is Joshingly referred to as the town's Number 1 "baby-sitter", because of the tremendous number of rhildftn that patronise his theatre on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Where neighbors are friendly and helpful, but never "nosey" or curious. If this is your home town.. you should be proud. Wish it were mine! LITTLE WARRIORS WIN, BIG WARRIORS LOSE AT L.

A so-called dumb bunny often carries a rabbit's foot If you „ insist on painting the town red, you could end up in a brush with the law.

Beingi considerate of an enemy may make him reconsider. - Anonymous Lake Geneva's high school basketball .team played host to the McHenry Warriors Tuesday and had little trouble scoring a 40 to 24 victory.

At 6:30 Marengo and Richmond will play the first game of the tournament. At 7:46 Harvard meets St. Mary's. The third game will start at 9 o'clock with Crystal Lake and McHenry answering the bell. All eyes are on the strong Hebron five as the tournament approaches. The favorites will face Woodstock in the second giu*e Monday evening. Hebron drew attention with an early season win over Dundee and the record of the team would indicate that it will take a lot of playing to beat them.

This won't be the same team representing Crystal Lake, but fans will be watching close to see how far Brady has been able to bring his squad along the victory path. Another team to watch will be the Woodstock Bine Streaks. Athletics at the county seat are On the upgrade and the Streaks will be out on that floor with eyes on the crown.

Pratt Tree Planting Ttma Fall or spring i* a good time to plant fruit trees. What to plant is no problem, just think of the fruits you like bqst. A nursery catalogue from any reliable nurseryman, or consultation with your nurseryman should help you to come up with a home fruit garden plan that i will answer all your needs. Variety is a blessing in fruits, if you want to satisfy all your taste de> sires. Fresh fruits from your home garden likewise supply t more and healthy vitamins and natural sugar for the growing family. From the looks of things, today, the home fruit garden will increase in value as time goes on, and fruit trees In a few years may be far less tiful than they are now.

Cuba took 15 per cent of all the cotton manufactures and 21 per cent of aU the synthetic fibers and manufactures exported from the United States during this period. Cuban purchases of synthetic fibers and manufactures were larger than those of any other nation and only one other country pur- »• chased more cotton manufactures. ?
