THREE McHENRY AREA MEN WON DEGREES IN RECENT WEEKS (Continued From Page 1) OPENING OF CAMPS FOR LESS FORTUNATE PROVES INSPIRATION (Continued from page 1) . Again this year, the camp is being run for two four-week periods, caring for forty children each period. Mrs. Mary Sharkey Longo, who has devoted so much time and interest for the success of the camp, will again be in- charge, assisted by, a staff which includes a speech correctionist, physical therapist, nurse and physical education instructor. Within the last two years, a new physical therapy building was completed to better care for the needs of the fortunate little patients, and the jnedical building was remodeled. How fortunate we in McHenry are to have two such camps in our midst. They provide one of the best sources known for reflection on our own lives--a gratitude for what we have, plus an insight into the great service performed by those who consider their selfsacrifice a privilege.

As we remember, the- girls of the family were the singers and could probably seldom be heard above the sound of the brass*. It was a real pleasure to hear these family groups- whicn were actually small musical organizations in themselves. Often times the groups included mother and father also, as it did in the case of the family of Mrs. Nettie Weber, herself-a pianist. With folks these days looking for someone to plan their entertainment, we can't help but feel that ho&bies which require a little work, along with the fun, are most rewarding in the long run. Certainly they are the ones that hold memories long after they have had to be given up. Corn is being checked to see how it measures up to the "knee high by the Fourth" standards Some we have seen has made it during the sunny, warm days of the last week; other fields may keep the growers hoping for a nice, long fall. The weatherman cooperated well with the Johnsburg Community club as that organization brought entertainment to town for the annual summer festival. It was three gala nights of the kind of fun that only a carnival can bring and was enjoyed by large crowds. K.A.F. It's easier to find a speaker that it is to find an audience. ART FAIR TO SHOW PAINTINGS OF LOCAt* VISITING ARTlSTg The County Art Fpir in August will show paintings of mainy wellknown artists, but local artists will also be represented at , the show. 1 ~ Jane Weiss of McHenry is,one of the artists who will participate in the exhibit and an item of local interest has just come to light about her painting. An artist's eye is always on the lookout for a "picture" in the local scene. On the last presidential election day, Jane was a poll watcher at the Johnsburg polling place. It was inevitable that in this scene she should see la "picture." Of course she had no painting equipment with her so she did a pencilled sketch of the cartoon type. This sketch she is donating to the fair exhibit. She will also do an abstract oil painting. Since all of the sketches and paintings will be for sale, the sketch might well become, the property of someone in Johnsburg. It would also be an interesting acquisition, for the Community club of Johnsburg. The,proceeds from all sales will of course benefit/ the McHenry hbspital. It is surprising how easily one can learn to like modern art. In the realistic field of art, color plays an important part; in modern art this is equally true. Subject matter of a painting appeals to one as he relates it to his own life and environment. In modern art when done in the abstract, the subject matter is even more closely related to the viewer, since he sees in it the thing he wants to see, according to his own mood. As a recent well-known artist who addressed the art faip com- SHORT ILLNESS ENDS IN DEATH <8^,. "KfiLLY" CONWAY^ A short illness encted in death last Saturday morning, June 29, for Martin Edward (Kelly) Conway, 67, who died in Hines hospital. He was a lifelong resident of the community. The deceased was born April 9, 1890, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick H. Conway. He was an Active member of the local Legion post, having served as commander, and was a member of the knights of Columbus.. Mr. Conway, who had many mittee put it "the word abstract as used in painting is given a literal meaning." The artist abstracts from his subject the things that impress him and transfers these impressions,, to the canvass. The viewer also abstracts or he may add, according to his own matfd and environment. friends in the community, 'farmed for many years until moving to McHenry. .» He was preceded in death by his wife, Marguerite Knox Conway, his parents, two sisters and a brother. Surviving are a son, Richard, of Wauconda; a daughter, Mrs. Robert (Jean) Saelens of St." Charles; a sister, Sister St. Hilda, BVM, of DesMoines, Iowa; and-four brothers, Robert of McHenry, John of/ Fenton, Mich., Leo. of Chicago and Clarence of Janesville, Wis. - The body rested at the George Justen & Son Funeral home until Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock, when last rites were conducted at St. Patrick's church, with,interment in the church cemetery. History proves that the higb speed of living has something to do with the high cost. McHenry State Bank pays 2% on saving deposits.
