They also celebrated the birthdays of 8resident, Rudolf Hanak, and lat of the vice-president's wife, Mrs. Richard Fuchs. McHenry people are adept in nearly every line of work but now we learn that this city also has a steeple jack and those who turned their eyes towards St. Mary's church on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week could see him at work upon the glistening steeple. This daring workman is Phil Meyers, who is giving the exterior of St. Mary's buildings a general overhauling and repairing. Lightning rods on the steeple are being repaired and the roofs of the parish house and church are being put into shape. Phil tells us that it is a long way from the ground but he has everything his own way up there and there is no one to check up on his work. He is assisted by Harry Rankin.

Miss Betty Regner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Regner, will graduate June 13 at the Loyola University Lake Shore Campus, Chicago.

It has been announced that state chapter contest winners of the Future Farmers of America organizations in the national contest were Byron and Chenoa, 111. Other chapters ranking first in their sections included McHenry. That the local F.F.A. chapter should rank highest of 22 schools in this section, many of which are much larger in size, speaks will for the McHenry instructor, George C. Egbert and his students. Corp. James Larken, son of Mrs. Evaline Larkin and Her­ bert Harrison, Yeoman second class, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pink Harrison of Pistakee Bay were pictured in uniform. Corp. Larkin entered service in Oct 1943, received training in an armored division at Camp Chaffee, Ark. He served overseas in France, Germany, and Czechoslovakia tran­ sporting Nazi prisoners.

TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 2 1960) John Mayer, delivery service director of the Illinois-Michigan postal region, met with representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, local and town­ ship governments for discussion of a proposed new system of address for rural routes in the McHenry postal area. Mayer proposed that a block system using addresses instead of rural routes, be set up from a central point, the blocks to extend to the extreme ends of the postal zone. He said it would prove much easier for visitors to the city to locate residents in the area outside the city limits. Barbara Schroder, Audrey Tonyan and Kathleen Anglese were among the many McHenry area students to be graduated this month from colleges and unversities in various parts of the country. T^rry Pliner, Donald Rogers, and Marcia Anderson were also graduated.

The passed provision lessens penalties for violations of the code. A year's suspension for the first offense was dealt previously.
