Bentz's statement ws verified by a resident of the a:ea who witnessed the incident. Two Fox Lake residents were taken to McHenry hospital by the Fox Lake Rescue squad following a one-vehicle accident Saturday morning about 1:40 at the intersection of Route 12 and Fox Lake road, north of Johnsburg. Manuel Alvarado of 10 Hickory street and his passenger. Daniel T. Lease of 60 Eagle Point road, both of Fox Lake, were east-bound on the highway and told deputies an oncoming vehicle's lights partially blinded them. Alvarado drove to the extreme right side of the road and the rear tire dropped off the pavement, causing him to lose control and hit a tree. Both men were treated and released from the hospital Samuel S. Pearson of 5301 Pistakee, McHenry, was ticketed for driving while intoxicated after he hit a parked car owned by Thaddeus S. Kowalski of 706 Oeffling, McHenry. According to deputies, Pearson was south-bound on Fox Lake road, south of Route 12, Saturday evening about 8 o'clock when his car ran off the west side of the road. In trying to avoid hitting a mailbox, Pearson jerked the wheel, ran off the east side of the road onto a lawn and hit the Kowalski auto which was parked in the driveway of the residence. A two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Route 12 and Fox Lake road Sunday afternoon resulted in a ticket for failure to yield at an intersection being issued to Alex A. Nottoli of 5311 N. Meadow, McHenry, Milenkon Matich of 31335 W. Montrose, Chicago, was east- bound on the highway when he saw the Nottoli auto waiting to turn left onto Fox Lake road. Matich was almost past Nottoli's auto when he felt impact being made to his auto. Nottoli told county police he was waiting at the intersection to make a left turn when he felt the other auto strike his car. Last week we received a note referring to a poem titled "IF". The note read: "Who wrote it? Was it anonymous9 Why don't you print the donor? You have done this before and they are good poems." The writer of the poem was Maria Heiser, whose name was unintentionally omitted from the poem. The writer of the note was also signed "Anony­ mous". May we ask if this might have been intentional? And for others who occasionally wonder about something that doesn't seem quite right, may we suggest that you remember this little quip which has found popularity in some newspapers: "If you find mistakes in this publication, please consider that they are there for a purpose We publish something for everyone, and some people are always looking for mistakes."

DAMIS by Larry Swaim RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD "Dear Mr. Swaim: I have friends who tell me that I should read the Old Testa­ ment in order to strengthen my faith, but to be truthful, I don't like the Old Testament. I'm not getting much out of it. It's difficult to read and understand." I can't disagree with you that the Old Testament is difficult to read, especially some parts, but it is one of the most profitable studies one can make. It does require in-depth research. A superfi­ cial study will not do. I would advise you to first mas­ ter the New Testament. You would be amazed at how it opens many doors of under­ standing. This can be applied to your Old Testament study. But the law and the pro­ phets pointed forward to Christ. Christ is revealed in prophecy in numerous places in the Old Testament. He is the sacrificial offering in Isaiah's ritual of worship re­ ferred to in John 1:29. In the book of Exodus, the Israelites were told to sprinkle the blood of the lamb on the door post and thus cause the angel of death to pass over their first born. This passover lamb represented Christ. Christ is the prophet foretold by Moses, the seed promised to Abraham by whom the earth would be blessed, and the everlasting king promised to David from his descen­ dants, and the Messiah des­ cribed by the prophets. The entire Bible speaks of Christ. As someone said, the New Testament is concealed in the Old, the Old Testament is revealed in the New.

Frozen Forecast A food and marketing expert recently predicted that in the next 5 to 10 years less and less meat will be purchased in fresh form.

The free land window has been shut in Alaska Until this spring an as piring sodbuster could stake out 160 acres of public land in the 49th stjate under the Homestead Act of 1862 Now the Federal Government has officially ended the free land era by withdrawing 15,000,000 acres from the public domain in Alaska, the last state to offer homesteads Future studies will determine whether the land will be turned into state or federal parks, forests, or wildlife man­ agement systems. Few were tempted by the re maining acreage Most of it was located on remote, rocky tundra lands more than 100 miles from the nearest roads Temperatures in the area range from 70°F in summer to minus 60°F. in the cold, dark winter months. "Turning off the free land spigot will save a lot of heart­ break," predicted a land expert in Ancnorage. "Those who came up here had no idea of what they were getting into. It was almost impossible to farm any of that land. They arrived with stars in their eyes and ended up on the welfare rolls." But early homesteaders played an important part in the develop­ ment of Alaska First homesteaded in 1915, the state's Matanuska Valley once was an inhospitable scrub land. It now provides most of Alaska's farm income and contains more than half its cultivated land The valley drew nationwide at­ tention during the great depres­ sion of the 1930's, when the Fed­ eral Government assisted 202 Midwestern farm families in starting new lives as pioneers on the land. The settlers had a hard time at first, and some gave up and went home But those who stayed finally got the land cleared and learned which crops would grow in the short, 108 day growing season Mark Twain Mark Twain wondered why he should walk five miles to fish when he could be just as unlucky nearer home art. topics presented by the Philadelphia College of Art HONORE DAUMIER ifti 385-5500 1241 N.

All levels of society were subject to Dau- mier's jibes: Profe-ssors and Pupils, Papas, the good Bourgeois, Divor­ cees, French types, Bach­ elors, Men of Justice are some of the names of his prints. In his satire of manners after 1852 he used the themes of the hunt, late trains, the com­ et of 1857, the battle between the classicists and romanticists. And be­ yond all the thrusts at the Empire and pinpricks to the backside of hu­ manity, stands his rather unformulated ideal of a 'man of the people.' Daumier's personality has been called classical and romantic, while his stlye is neither Perhaps the most arresting qual­ ity is his ability to capture, through the sculptured simplicity of his lines, the whole significance of a particular expression on a person's face and the meaning of that expres­ sion in the context of the situation and the environ­ ment This ability to catch the essence is remini­ scent of Henri Cartier- Bresson's gift, as he photographed a man in the midst of a jump over a mud puddle; and in­ deed, Daumier had been influenced by early photo­ graphic developments. In his later life Daumier painted in a poetic stlye rather than the polemic mood of earlier His works depicted more and more the tragedy of the conflict between .forces and passions Not until 1870 was Daumier's work exhibited in Paris and even after that he remained unknown So it is hardly surprising that there is a tragic note running through his later paintings-- scenes of strolling actors, min­ strels, wrestlers about to enter the ring, actors re­ citing their lines --other humans who amused the crowd without being un derstood by it Not until after his death, in 1879, did his message really start to come through, and his work was bought up rapidly There's something of Michae/angelo in that fel­ low. Balzac was one of the rare people of the 1 830's who recognized in the caricatures of Hon­ ore Daumier a genius for sculptural and painted form that went far be­ yond good draftsman­ ship. Born in 1 808, Daumier grew up in Paris, where his father, a worker in glass, decided to make his fortune writing poems and plays. The family's resulting poverty forced young Honore to go to work as a messenger for a bailiff in the courts of law. He quickly became familiar with the world of law; he roamed the streets of Paris and haunted the Louvre, mak­ ing sketches. After a stint as a bookstore clerk, Daumier studied under the painter and archae­ ologist Alexander Lenoir, where he copied casts and worked on his own There he studied classical Greek art, Venetian, Dutch, Spanish art and especially Rubens By age 20 Daumier had mastered the art of lithography and was il­ lustrating small journals He enrolled in the Acad­ emy of Art, and with the coming of the July re­ volution of 1830 he plunged into France's po­ litical turmoil, expressing his antimonarchist, lib­ eral feelings in lithos Daumier soon joined the staff of Caricature, a satirical journal founded by the fervent republican- artist publisher Charles Philipon. Daumier's first series, "Masks", was lithos and busts of poly­ chrome terra cotta por­ traying prominent figures of the time. The most notable piece was a print of King Louis Philippe en­ titled "Gargantua". Louis Philippe, as the inspira­ tion for Daumier's first consistent and popular character, is represented as a hypocrite who is forced to sanction evil and very convincingly pretends to be distressed by it all. Here he is a giant in an armchair, with pyg­ mies climbing up planks to fill his mouth with gold nuggets. When he is stuffed full, the gold is digested and emitted from the lower portions of his body as a pile of patents, medals, and portfolios Off to the right are massed the poor men, war casualties, and work­ ing men and women whose sacrifices fill the coffers For this Daumier was fined and sentenced to six months in prison, but only after he had executed another carica­ ture, against the prefect of police, did he serve the term. La Caricature was sup­ pressed in 1835, so Daumier connected up with a new journal of Philipon's, Le Charivari. In this time he turned more towards social sa­ tire, Studied the great masters, and married Alexandrine Dassy He has a great flair for the dramatic in his drawing, as an outpouring of his love for the theater, and in this period his most important character was Robert Macaire. This ras­ cally type was variously represented as a stock market speculator, usu­ rer, exploiter of women, false industrialist, crook­ ed salesman, unscrupu­ lous doctor or lawyer.
