The Plaindealer believes that the change to daylight saving during the summer would be a benefit to the city of McHenry, owing to the fact that hun­ dreds of Chicago people are summer residents here and go back and forth to the city every day. The McHenry high school band went to St. Charles to enter the annual band competition for this district, where they came in fourth place in Class C. Those from McHenry who heard the bands were shocked at the verdict of the judges for the splendid performance of the McHenry band entitled them tb something better than fourth place in the opinion of the local people, as well as many other listeners at the contest. With the stirring of varied mories and their thoughts everting to the days of 20 rs ago, the members of the Royal Neighbors of America, celebrated their twentieth birthday at Legion hall. About 50 members of the order were present to enjoy the meeting and the charter members of the camp were guests of honor.

He is Robert Thompson, who completed 36 years with McHenry Lumber company on April 4 of this year He was guest of honor at a dinner at the Country club at which time he was presented with a beautiful watch.' Residents of Main street will miss seeing him on his daily trips to work, which he has made from the same residence for so many years.
