She's been stationed in California for months and her family and friends are so happy to see her again. Her best friend, Dawn Parisi, gathered all their friends together Saturday, June 25 for a big welcome home party. Herb Dettmer is home again for a two-week visit after leaving the Air Force base in Wyoming, heading for Chanute base. He's reinlisted now that his first four years have ended and will be studying to become a weatherman.

"Baker's Wife" In Premiere The midwest premiere of the musical "The Baker's Wife", opens at the Woodstock Opera House Wed­ nesday, July 6. Running through Sept. 11, the show is created by nationally prominent musical theatre artists Stephen Schwartz and Joseph Stein. Stephen Schwartz ("Godspell" and "Pippin") is the composer and lyricist for "The Baker's Wife" and Joseph Stein ("Fiddler on the Roof" arid "Zorba") is the author. Actor Paul Sorvino, who played the role of the baker in a production prior to the.final revisions being made for Woodstock, describes the action: " 'The Baker's Wife' is a love.story. Almost a fable. The French town, having been without a baker for six weeks, is filled with anticipation at the arrival of master baker Aimable Castagnie. Six weeks without bread has been a catastrophe for them. But the very first loaves from the new baker fulfill their wildest expectations. They are happy again. "Amiable is happy, too. Here can be a new beginning; a new life for himself and his wife Genevieve. But Genevieve is restless. Young, pretty, and quickly pursued by Dominique, an amorous young villager. The ingredients for the fable are arranged.... "What happens then to Aimable and Genevieve provides one of the most memorable and ouching endings in all of American musical theatre." The production is directed by New Yorker Paul Lazarus who recently directed "A Stephen Sondheim Evening" for the Whitney Museum of Art with Angela Lansbury, George Hearn and Stephen Sondheim. Kevin Stites is the music director who has conducted over 20 musical nroductions for Marriott's Lin­ colnshire theatre, the Shubert and Blackstone theatres, Drury Lane Water Tower Place, as well as the Woodstock Opera House. T ie cast includes Broadway actors Mac Intyre Dixon as the Baker',' Cynthia Carle as the baker's wife, and Cameron Smith as the young villager. The cast is completed with many of the Chicago community's finest ac­ tors. Evening performances are scheduled for Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:15 p.m. and Sundays at 6:15 p.m. Matinees are scheduled for Wednesdays, Thur­ sdays, and Fridays at 1:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 2 p.m..

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 29,1933) Dr. George W. Hess of McHenry was named county veterinarian by the local board of supervisors to succeed the late Dr. C.P. Draper. McHenry Unit No. 491 of the American Legion auxiliary en­ tertained the servicemen at the Elgin State hospital. For the opening number the McHenry Girl Scouts gave a very pleasing selection. Miss Mary Durland gave a tap dance number accompained by Dorothy Knox. The Girl Scouts also put on a very clever stunt. A change will be made in the first class postage rate on letters mailed in. McHenry which are to be mailed in the rural area. The charge will be 2 cents instead of 3 cents. The new rate is effective July 1. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 1, 1943) On the beautiful shores of Pistakee Bay, Paul Henning and his mother, Mrs. Anna Henning, have made big changes in their popular resort. The resort is now known as Henning's Windup Movie Bar. As one enters the main door of the building, the eyes focus on a beautiful and unique "Keyhole Bar", 80 feet in length and carefully designed to give all patrons a clear, unobstructed view of the entertainment afforded by the New Movie Soundie.

A fireworks display will highlight the carnival. In a Pony league game the Sox beat the Yanks 6 - 3. John Rourke was the Winning pitcher, although Bill DeCicco relieved him in the fourth inning. Zenner pitched for the Yanks. The McHenry Shamrocks en­ tertained the Algonquin nine on the home diamond as the second round of county league play got under way and won a decisive 8 - 2 victory. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 29,1973) John J. Shay, director, McHenry County Civil Defense, has recently received his diploma in connection <ZL£1 with his graduation from the DCPA Staff college, Battle Creek, Mich. This year the McHenry Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the fourteenth annual Marine Festival days and will conclude it with a parade, Sunday, July 15, that promises to be the biggest and best in McHenry's history. When S.I.H. was indisposed his column was taken over by K.A.F. It doesn't happen often but K.A.F. filled in nicely. The Shamrocks lost two games, one to Rockford and the other to Elgin. Beekeepers Workshop McHenry County college is offering a Beekeepers' workshop designed exclusively for the person who has had the beginning course or who is currently keeping bees.

Hebron township has the distinction of being the only township in McHenry county named by a woman, Mrs. Bela Tryon, who aptly chose the name from an old tune of the same name. That fact is duly recorded on a Hebron township quilt block which is part of an historic quilt being made and displayed at the museum in Union and will be raffled off this year in honor of the society's 20-year anniversary. At 2 p.m., an informal program will be given by Jim Cornue of Hebron, a long time dairy farmer of the area whose family was among the early settlers northwest of that village. Cornue plans to recall to museum visitors a day in the life of farm families in the early days of McHenry county. Also on display that day will be pictures of rural schools and classes, the Hebron business district, and family and rural scenes. Sommerset, Whispering Oaks.
