READ THE CLASSIFIEDS Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued from Page 1) and planning. Some of the projects we will see at this year's fair had their start shortly after the 1963 fair, when farsighted youth took the initial steps necessary to insure a top entry twelve months hence. Sometimes we think too much publicity is given to the more glamorous aspects of these fairs. In view of the adverse words about "bad kids" these days, it might be a good idea to place more emphasis on the achievements of these really fine young citizens. Bui speaking of glamor, we can't neglect mention of the two local candidates, for county queen, Beth Glysing. repressing McHenry, and Leigh Perry of Wonder Lake; also the 4-H queen candidate from McHenrv, Dorothy Curran.
