Jacob Stock, a McHenry boy, who has been in Chicago for the past few years, has completed three very beautiful pencil sketches which he will exhibit at the World's fair, Century of Progress, in Chicago, in 1933. He also plans to complete three more pic­ tures, making a group of six pencil sketches which he will exhibit at that time. The pictures are real works of art and appear perfect in every detail with the delicate black and white shadings bringing out the features and fine points of the subjects until they resemble steel engravings. Fire of unknown origin destroyed the McHenry Laundry, owned and operated by Lester V. Adams, at a loss estimated at $15,000.

There were num­ berless bull's-eyes on fences with a bullet hole exactly throifgh the center. He wanted to meet the marks­ man and was introduced to the village idiot.

(115) 3IS 3700 Safety Hints by Secretary of State Jim Edgar Cold weather affects the performance of your car, whether the temperature is in the low 30s or below zero. One of the first indications is that it takes a little longer to warm up your vehicle's engine. Attempting to accelerate quickly when the engine is cold will only result in having it sputter and stop. Exercise more care and patience before starting out into traffic. Caution is particularly important when the streets and roads are wet, icy or snow packed. If you do stall, it is difficu)t for moving vehicles to stop as quickly as in normal conditions. Be careful when you back out of your driveway into traffic. Stop, look and listen. Once you have backed into the street, it may take a few extra seconds to start moving forward if you are on slick pavement. When crossing a through street, allow for a greater distance than normal in the traffic flow before entering it. Waiting for a safe opening gives you a better chance to .avoid a possible collision if your engine stalls. If you have any questions about the Secretary of State's office, please feel free to use our toll-free telephone number (800-252- 8980). (A copy of the Rules of the Road will be sent to you upon request. Write to Jim Edgar, Secretary of State, Springfield, 111., 62756).
