FIESTA WEEK PROGRAM OFFERS MANY FEATURES (Continued from Page 1) There is no limit on the ends to which some folks will go to make life unpleasant for others. The Stanley Rich family of Sunnyside Estates had one such account of malicious mischief to tell this past week. Hearing an unusual noise outside the home about 12:25 Friday' rtiorning, the family thought it was just someone walking near the beach until daylight informed them differently. They found that all the electrical wires attached to a battery which was being charged on the outside of their residence had been ripped off. From Urbana came word last week that Prof. Guy Duker, a former McHenry boy, was one of the guest conductors for the 1961 Illinois Summer Youth Music season. Duker, member of the University of Illinois band department, directed the "Sousa" band, one of three Units of junior bands. Last Sunday he was called to McHenry by the illness of his father, C. H.

They aren't worth a hill of beans, For no one knows what dreaming really means. --CHAUCER (C. 1340-1400) Generally to whatever pursuit a man is closely tied down and strongly attached, on whatever subject we have previously much dwelt, during sleep we for the most part fancy that we are engaged in the same. Lawyers think they plead causes, generals that they engage in battle... So all other pursuits are seen for the most part during sleep to occupy and mock the minds of men. --LUCRETIUS (c. 98-56 B.C.) And what of the value of dreams in regard to our knowledge of the future? That of course is quite out of the question. One would like to substitute the words: in regard to our knowledge of the past. For in every sense a dream has its origin in the past. --FREUD (1856-1939) THE NEW MIRACLE LATEX HOUSE PAINT WITH "fea+her-IigW BRUSHABILITYI EDDIE the EDUCATOR says • Paint Damp Surfaces!
