(DON PEASLEY PHOTO) Early Plans Under Way For '73 County Fair The county's 4-H boys and girls are in the midst of preparing their 4-H projects now. Adult volunteers who serve on the board of the McHenry County Fair are making decisions concerning many aspects of this annual event. Department heads must make many decisions, many of them reflected in the annual premium book which is due by the June 12 meeting of the county fair board at the Farm Bureau building. The 1973 McHenry County Fair is coming fast. In just two months, the fairgrounds at Woodstock will be alive with those features of a fair: tents, merry-go-round, steers, dresses, tractors, beauty queens, and boys and girls, and thousands of visitors! Some improvements are planned for the fairgrounds before the fair. The board plans to blacktop the area around the new building on McConnell road, and to connect with the blacktopping that leads to the buildings along that road so that a solid, clean walkway is available throughout the exhibit area This will be completed before this year's fair, says Charles Weingart of McHenry, president. The new exhibit building has been further improved and space in it has been virtually rented. Other exhibit space for commercial exhibits does remain, reports Joe Thiede, exhibits chairman. One new feature sure to catch entries and the subsequent attention of fair-goers concerns antiques. Space has been set aside in the new building for the small articles planned for this new venture in fair exhibitions. More details will be for­ thcoming concerning entries from fair officials. A major highlight this year will mark this twenty-fifth renewal of the McHenry County Fair. First fair in the current sequence was presented in 1949, revived in part with the help of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce. Past presidents and former Miss McHenry County winners will be among honored guests at an official twenty-fifth an­ niversary dinner planned for "My Insurance Handled Everything!" Mighty comforting on a va­ cation trip, when an acci­ dent or personl injury might waste days of vaca­ tion time.

Harold Beth, Don Peasley and Mrs. Mary Anne Szurek have been asked to head the com­ mittee planning the an­ niversary. Beth was the first chairman of the Miss McHenry County pageant and it was his per­ sistence in obtaining can­ didates from around the county that enables it to become a major attraction at our county fair. Peasley has been involved in fair public relations and planning in each year since its founding. Mrs. Szurek is active in the Miss Wonder Lake and Miss Woodstock contests and has volunteered to help honor the past Miss McHenry County beauty queens.

Teacher Of 32 Years To Retire In June MABEL WYMAN When Mrs. Mabel Wyman retires in June of 1973, it will be after spending a total of thirty- two years teaching in the schools of McHenry county, twenty-one of them in the public schools and eleven years in St. Thomas the Apostle school in Crystal Lake. Mrs. Wyman, the former Mabel Knox, was born on the Knox farm in Nunda township, south of McHenry, the second youngest child of Michael and Mary Ann (Doherty) Knox. She attended the Terra Cotta school and graduated from the Crystal Lake Community high school in 1928. Dr. Laurie's graduates will be in such demand that churches will compete for them. Christianity is a dynamic, virile religion but far too many of its preachers are stodgy sermonizers. They don't keep Morpheus out of the pews! For it takes a livewire in the pulpit to electrify a congregation. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE L-512: Dr. David J. Laurie, noted Scottish preacher, is pioneering with a long overdue innovation in higher education. He is president of the new California Graduate School of Theology at Glendale. It is interdenominational. "Dr. Crane," a friend in­ formed me, "Dr. Laurie is trying to rectify the gross in­ justice done to seminary graduates. "You have often lamented in your newspaper column that a After graduation, she at­ tended Rosary college in River Forest, later taking courses at DePaul university and National College of Education in Evanston. Her first teaching was done in the Holcombville school, where she taught three years. One of her pupils there was Donald Doherty, former Mayor of McHenry. In 1936 she began teaching at the Terra Cotta school, where she remained for eleven years, the longest period of any teacher who taught there. Counting her own grade school years, she spent a total of nineteen years there. In 1947, the district observed its cen­ tennial celebration, and much of the success of that important occasion was due to the efforts Mrs. Wyman spent in preparing for it. In 1946, she was married to Willis Wyman of Crystal Lake, who had returned home the previous year after spending four years of service in World War 2. They have made their home in Crystal Lake since their marriage. They are the parents of two sons, James George, a 1971 graduate of Western Illinois university, and currently program director for station WGIL-FM in Galesburg, and Robert Donald, a student at McHenry County college. In 1955, Mrs. Wyman was contacted by the late Rev. E.A. McCormick, then pastor of St. Now.\ . .

"Yet physicians, dental surgeons and college professors, as well as lawyers, now get a doctorate for no more years of college education! "Almost 20 years ago when I heard you lecture at Garrett Biblical Institute at Evanston, you urged President Horace Smith to award all Garrett graduates an automatic doc­ tor's degree instead of the B.D. "The seminary students gave you a rousing reception, even when you suggested they might need to serve a year's in­ ternship, like the medics, but at the helm of a local church. "Well. Dr. Laurie now offers seminarians a doctorate. "They must put in the usual 3 years of graduate worli, write a creditable thesis and take an oral examination. "Those clergymen who already hold a B.D. and are handling a parish, can still obtain a doctorate by returning for special classes. "Transfer students from other seminaries may also finish their 3 years at Dr. Laurie's institution and thus earn a doctorate instead of the usual B.D." BRAVO, DR. LAURIE! The California Graduate School of Theology stresses basic Christian evangelism instead of "social reform" and street marching! It emphasizes superb pulpit oratory that inspires all age groups and helps fill the pews. Gone will be the stress on Thomas the Apostle church in Crystal Lake, in regard to a teaching position in the parochial school there. She accepted the position and taught either second or third grade for eleven years. In 1966, she was asked to become a member of the faculty of the Woodstock public schools, and she has taught second grade at Clay street school for the past seven years. Mrs. Wyman may well be called a truly dedicated teacher. She has always en­ joyed .working with children, helpflng them to acquire the basic fundamentals, to establish good study habits, and to develop right attitudes toward good conduct. The administrators and faculty of the Woodstock schools regret her decision to retire, but ex­ tended a wish for many years of enjoyment in her retirement. polysyllabic "essay" sermons that have brought Morpheus into far too many churches in past years. Instead, practicality will be the keynote! Christian psychology and psychiatry of the pulpit win involve special techniques for Marriage Counseling and T|?en- Age Clinics where adolescent idealism can be harnessed constructively. This will also involve better use of radio and audio-visual aids, plus modern public relations, fund raising methods, inspirational church architecture, as well as congregational music that evokes far greater audience participation. Although Hebrew and Greek will be in the curriculum, the educational focus will be on training "livewire" pastors instead of pedantic "scholars." Young clergymen will thus be taught how to build thriving churches that expand in membership and produce new converts, as St. Paul demon­ strated. "Versatile and dynamic pastors" is Dr. Laurie's goal, instead of stodgy sermonizers of a moribund, static religion. Readers, wouldn't you enjoy hearing graduates of this type of seminarv? As a lifelong church layman myself, and a Sunday School teacher for 35 consecutive years at Chicago's skyscraper Chicago Temple, I shall look forward to visiting Dr. Laurie's unique theological school.
