To be sure the book was properly exhibited, the publisher set up a display in a department store and a Raggedy Ann doll was made and placed next to the books to help sell them. Through the fifty years she has become a multi-million dollar property. Fifty different products carry her name and more than twenty million books about her have been published, out-selling even "Alice in Wonderland." What many folks don't know is that genuine Raggedy Ann dolls all have painted hearts under their clothing. You can check to see if "I Love You" is painted right on her heart and also on Raggedy Andy. Johnny Gruelle is no longer around to celebrate his doll's fiftieth year, but millions of happy youngsters this Christmas will testify to the wonderful magic which he created in Raggedy Ann. MAN LEADS M AUDIENCE WITH POPE; WINS APPOINTMENT SELECT WINNING DISPLAYS D»><FTRY LIGHTING CONTEST DRIVER INJURED Daryl Buerk of West Chicago was treated in McHenry hospital Sunday morning after suffering serious injuries in an accident which occurred a half mile north of Ringwood on Rt. 31. Buerk was reported to be travelling south on the highway when his vehicle struck some ice as he rounded a curve. His car went out of control and he left the pavement, striking a telephone pole. Fortunately -- or unfortunately -- whichever way you care to look at it, we happen to live in a part of McHenry in which progress has been the keynote for a good year and a half. Most of the time we find ourselves grumbling about the inconveniences that accompany it, but in this season of brotherly love we have come to look upon them with the spirit intended eft Christmastime. For instance, the beautiful snowfall of Dec. 1 found us hopping into bed to be greeted, as we have been for the past eight months, with a bright street light in the eye. After many experiments, we found a slight elevation of the blanket at a strategic point makes it possible to avoid the feeling that daylight is almost upon us. The other alternative--pulling the curtain to the window sill -- gives a feeling of being hemmed in" we have never thought necessary in a heretofore rural community. Now we are not disputing the need for the light, which otherwise gives a rather comfortable feeling as we look back a block to a recently opened street which occasioned its installation. In this holiday mood, we look at the bright side of an otherwise annoying situation. Then there are the speed signs which were installed in the summer of 1963. We were among the chosen few to have one put up very prominently in the very front of our house, near a driveway. During a particularly hard snow storm a year and a half ago we inadvertently backed into it one night and it quietly disappeared into the beautiful white on the ground. We had just about concluded the city had forgotten about the sign when one day it erected its head again to add questionable decor to the lawn. Now we don't mind a bit if everyone observes~tK&v«25 m.p.h. limit posted, but we see the sign as ugly when its regulations are ignored. However, again the spirit of the season permeates us and we look upon it as a necessary contribution to the landscape. Or consider the new sewer system which brought more trucks down our gravel road than we knew existed. White paint turned grayer by the day, and every walk through the yard meant a complete washing of the feet until it seemed we would qualify for one of the ancient rites. But last week the snow fell, • " n V . . - " f e •. - v.*;-** • ^ ^ 'fist -V ! Pope Paul is shown above as he accepted a gift of World Book/Childcraft, Italian translation, from Howard V. Phalin, president of Field Enterprises Educational Corp. Phalin is a native of McHenry and a graduate of McHenry high school. Howard V. Phalin, former McHenry man who is now president of Field Enterprise Educational corporation, received his notification of his election to the Broad of Lay Trustees of the University of Notre Dame on the same European business trip whose highlight was a personal audience with His Holiness, Pope Paul VI. Mr. Phalin, donor of the new mural of Christ and the Doctors of the Church which forms the facade of the new library, led a group of twelve executives of his company and the wives of seven in the special audience with His Holiness. The occasion was the introduction of the Company's new Italian- language version of the 15- volume "Childcraft, the How and Why Library." The Italian set is named "I Quindici," and like its English-language counterpart incorporates educational resource material for preschool and primary-grade children. Present Books Mr. Phalin and Donald Mc- Kellar, executive vice-president of the company, presented to Pope Paul a volume of "I Quindici" and a set of the company's World Book Encyclopedia, the twenty-volume reference work. The latter, bound in white leather, was engraved with the PapaL-seal. They were accompanied by the Rev. Armando Guidetti, S. J., who supervised the editorial staff that produced "I Quindici." Pope Paul presented silver commemorative medallions to all three, then gave bronze medallions to the rest of the party, which included representatives of the Italian subsidiary "II Libro del Mondo," as well as the party from the United States. In acknowledging the gift sets, His Holiness commended the company for its dedication to the ideal of the education of children, and urged that concepts of morality and of sound education should never guide its editorial work. ARNOLD MAY TO HEAD '85 COUNTY CANCER CRUSADE yem >.;Xv.X we felt the nippy north breeze and saw holiday decorations e v e r y w h e r e .

TUESDAY ACCIDENT Lou Tomasello was injured and his car damaged when involved in an accident on Ringwood road, north of Johnsburg, Tuesday morning. One of the best Christmas present the McHenry county unit of the American Cancer society could receive -- a fine chairman for its vital Cancer Crusade--became a reality this week. Roger Reichert, chairman of the county-wide organization, today announced that Arnold May, prominent Richmond businessman has accepted the key job of spearheading the fundraising work in April, 1965. Appointment of May to the post is taking place now to permit him to establish local chairman and organize the complete fund raising effort. Reichert, who has headed the Cancer Crusade the past three years, saw his efforts, along with the zeal of more than 100 volunteer workers, more than double the amount of contributions invested by county citizens. The fund drive in 1965 netted more than $15,000, but Reichert is quick to point out that the workers carried out another vital responsibility. TO ALL OUR FRIENDS BAYSHORE, Inc.

The Becker display was an attractive snow sculpture showing a full size sleigh in which Santa was riding, ahd life size reindeer. The Conway residence shows Santa standing near an outside barbecue grill, over which shine Japanese lanterns to depict a party atmosphere. Nearby is a picnic table all ready for visitors. The Jacobs residence was most elaborate, with three trees in green and silver inside the home, and lights around the window of the home and outlining the home and garage. Several trees in the yard were also bright with colored bulbs, and lighted canes outlined the driveway. The Jacobs family proved to be especially deserving winners as they put forth double effort in restoring a scene which was almost ruined by vandals Saturday evening. Wires on the display were clipped which required them to spend most of Sunday making repairs prior to the judging. Mail Call For Santa Claus (Continued Fro>n Page 1) horse.

ELLIOTT CORBETT How Biblical prophets might speak in today's language to today's problems is the theme of a book just published under the authorship of J. Elliott Corbett of Washington, D. C. Corbett is a former pastor of the Community Methodist church at McHenry. In 'The Prophets on Main Street", Corbett relates the message of five prophets of the Old Testament to today's world, excerpts brief selections from. their writings and then presents in free verse what he feels the prophet would say now. The book offers Amos as "prophet of justice in an atomic age," First Isaiah as "a wise statesman for our modern era," a surprising Jonah as "provincial prophet in a jet age," Jeremiah as "Spiritual counselor for an age or anxiety" and Second Isaiah as "a universal spirit for an age of peace." Corbett is now director of Washington study programs for the Methodist Board of Christian Social Concerns. He has been with the board here since 1961.
