Zak) "The Battle of the Louve" by Matila Simon This is one of the most remarkable stories and im­ portant events in the history of the 'Art World' for on Jan. 22, 1940, France fell to the Ger­ mans. It was on June 30, 1940, that Adolph Hitler sent out an order demanding "the^placing in ^security of all objects of Art whether they belonged to France, to private owners or to Jews". The following four years, Nazi leaders schemed and argued amongst themselves, defying each other in stubborn struggle for the possession of French Art. Meanwhile, the Curators of the Louve had been prepared for this public proclamation for thev knew of the Nazis' obsession for art work-not only did they want heaping quan­ tities of famed paintings, but all. They admired art works. In their campaign of defaming 'Modern Art', calling it 'Un-German Art', art that didn't reflect the ideals of the Third Reich. Museum officials made plans to prevent France's Artistic Heritage from falling into German hands. Upon the outbreak of World War II, truck convoys made their way by night, over quiet roads filled with fragile Masterpieces; i.e. "Winged Victory", "Venus deMilo" and "TheMona Lisa". Onward they went to the security of Chateaux across the courv^ tryside and later moving as the occupation spread across France. This was a monumental undertaking but not all the valuable works could be removed from France or Paris. Germans "requisitioned", plundered and stole French Art from galleries, museums and famed private collections. Jewish-owned art was seized immediately under Hitler's orders and priceless paintings were stolen from Baron Ed­ ward deRothschild and from the Seligmann Wildenstein and other collections in police raids. German task forces were set up to photograph and catalog works being sent to Germany , and became the private 'hunting preserve' of the passionate collector, Hermann Goring.

The scenic view was captured by the Plaindealer photographer near McHenry Shores. As he passed the intersection, it became apparent that pranksters had changed the name of the street signs, reversing the direction of Hilltop blvd., and Idyle Dell road. Like a good citizen, the photographer corrected the signs after taking the picture. After all, a rescue squad driver might be the next one looking for an address in that com­ munity. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Fiske Named For Two State Appointments Kenneth V. Fiske, executive (firector of the McHenry County Conservation district, has recently received two state -appointments in the con­ servation field. Governor Dan Walker has appointed Fiske as a member of the Advisory Board for Conservation Education for a three-year term expiring in January, 1977. This five-man advisory board assists in determing state policy and direction in the Conservation - environ­ mental education field. Robert Craft, president of the Illinois chapter of the Soil of many people of France dedicated to protecting their art treasures from the War and the plundering by the Nazis, provides great reading as this story had never been told before. It is remarkable in story form as it is one of the most important events in the history of the art world. The avid reader of non-fiction will find this historical thriller rewarding and educational. Conservation Society of America, has appointed Fiske to the chairmanship of the society's Outdoor Recreational division. The specific ob­ jectives of this division are: 1. Strive to place emphasis op good land use management practices in regard to outdoor recreation developments. 2. Develop materials and guidelines that will be useful to private outdoor recreation developers. 3. Support and encourage the development of private outdoor recreation enterprises. 4. Determine by survey, or otherwise, how much has been done in regard to setting aside lands for outdoor recreation enterprises. Determine if this has been considered by county planning and zoning boards. 5. Encourage state, county, and local governments to consider outdoor recreation in their yearly places. 6. Develop a plan of liaison and cooperation with other organizations and agencies with a special interest in out­ door recreation. OLD TIMERS . . .
