'.Fortunately, Mr. DeRoche escaped uninjured, but his car was damaged. The driver said he had turned off the radio some time before he approached the tracks, but the windows of the car were closed and he was unable to hear the train's whistle. Fixe persons were involved in a two-car accident last Friday morning at 10 o'clock at Ringwood and Fox Lake roads, but only one, Dorothy Sherman of Lisle, 111., was hospitalized. She was thrown through the windshield b/" the impact of "the collision, and suffered head injuries which resulted in her being rushed to McHenry hospital. where she remained for "two days. « & Others in her COT were her husband.

All five had petitioned for re-hearing and were denied. Charge Violation - The lawyer representing \he five tavern keepers added that the commission violated these provisions by issuing orders for suspension of certain licenses before the ' twenty-day period. He said it was a question of illegal procedure rather than of gambling. ^ The attorney representing the Attorney General's office said his office had no objection to the complaint, but said the injunction was premature. He asked for a continuance until the Attorney General's office received the proceedings of the hearing and were given a chance to discuss the matter. Notice of the hearings was reported to have reached his desk only a day before. The Illinois Retail Liquor Dealers association has filed suit in Circuit. court charging that the regulation requiring suspension or revocation of liquor permits held by purchasers of federal gambling stamps is unconstitutional. The suit, filed Monday, charged that members possessing federal gambling stamps are being d e p r i v e d u n f a i r l y o f t h e i r liquor licenses by the commission. "Music Man" To Visit City (Continued from Page 1) "The Sound of Music," and singing in the Junior high choir. The men's quartet is made up of well known men in our area, both for their voices and the parts they take in community affairs. The school board of River City, Iowa, will be played by Roy Kissling, Gus Lakeberg, Norbert Mauch and E. J. Wittrock. Those who attended last year's spring tea will not soon forget Mrs. Varese's version of "The Sound of Music." It is interesting to note that the production was given many more times, all over northeastern Illinois. It was the main attraction of the Stillman Valley fall festival this past September, and will be given in May in Milwaukee. Tickets are still available from. W.S.C.S. members, but are limited. Encourage Effort To Obtain Railroad Crossing Lights This week, for the second time since the start of the new year, a motorist has narrowly escaped with his life at an unlighted railroad crossing in the McHenry area. The fact that Walter Deroche did not have interference from a car radio to prevent him from hearing the whistle of the approaching train only emphasizes the danger that exists at such crossings, especially during the winter season. The destruction of the old lumber company building to the"north of' the crossing has improved visibility considerably except at times such as Tuesday morning, when a freight car on a side track prevented drivers from seeing an approaching train until they were almost on the track. Those closest to the problem have long called attention to th^ danger to commuters waiting on the platform if a car should be struck at the main crossing and dragged south. The situation Tuesday morning was about as close to that picture as possible without a tragedy actually taking place. > * Tuesday's accident has been a warning without ill effects. Isn't it time to make a concentrated effort to obtain lights before it becomes necessary to say -- as we vividly recall happened at McCullom Lake -- "Too/ Late!" \ ( 100 YEAR RECORD POINTS UP LOCAL POPULATION RISE (Continued from Page 1) Church Hosts Convention JUNIOR HIGH PRINCIPAL TO HEAD EDUCATORS (Continued from Page 1) Taylor, who conducted the business meeting on Friday, served in that post.

MARY ANN • ELEANORE SPftS^G FASHBONS FOR TODDLERS BOYS AND GIRLS SEE THEM NOW AT A veterap missionary who has seen some Africa's greatest social and political upheavals during his thirty-six years of service in the Congo will be a featured speaker in a church missionary convention here. He is. the Rev. Malvin Knudson, whose first missionary assignment for The Christian and Missionary Alliance took him to the Belgian. Congo in 1925. He will tell of his experience in witnessing the Christian gospel in the annual missionary convention in the Alliance Bible church, located at 3813 W. John street. The dates of the unique conference are March 25 to March 28, with the public invited to the series of missionary services beginning at 8 p.m. daily, and 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday. Mr. Knudson and lus wife, upon arriving in Africa in 1925, found that their abilities in the field of business and commercial life were in great demand REV. MALVIN KNUDSON by the mission headquarters at Boma. Although he engaged in supervision of church districts and itineration as a missionary, Mr. Knudson also served £fs the mission's legal contact with the Belgian Congo government for twenty-two years, and superintended the mission's construction work. Only a dedicated Christian missionary would think of walking into a centuries-old "no man's land" -- an area of deadly tribal battles--to reach an isolated tribe of men and women hidden away high in the rugged interior of New Guinea. The Rev. Donald R. Tuck, whose home lown is Albany, N. Y., a missionary of The Christiian and Missionary Alliance, not only took the risk in his first introduction to the fierce Moni tribe, but he took his bride along with him.
