More invitations have been sent to other drum corps, but the number in the contest is being held down so that it will provide about two hours of fine entertainment.

The show will start promptly at 7:30 p.rri. Many of the drum corps have never appeared in McHenry for either the Fiesta Day parade or the Drum Corps Magic Show, so the evening of new music should be something different for all those who attend.

It didn't take us long to realize that when one takes vacations on the sabbatical plan, there are no idle hours to while away. No well known television personality could have had more publicity than received recently by McHenry's actress-singercommedienne, Ann Varese. Ann, who has as much energy as any two people we know, managed to win for herself more prizes than most of us would dare to dream about on the Price Is Right program, the® returned from New York to put on one of her fine performances on stage two nights later. This will probably be the last time during the winter of 1965 that we can say a few kind words for the men who keep our highways clear of snow. A reader called last Thursday to add his congratulations^ Certainly good highway crews nqade the best of some very bad situations, both within the city and without, during recent months. All of us hear of the many bills presented at each, session of the state Legislature, pertaining to almost as many subjects as the number of bills. While Legislators are giving (or should be giving) priority to the No. 1 problem of reapportionment, a number of other bills also bid for attention. Among the current ones are bills f<?r removing U.S. citizenship requirement for licensing doctors; requirement that all persons under 21 years pass a driver education course prior to issuance of driver's license; raise the salary of General Assembly members from $6,000 to $9,000; delete a provision that marriage revokes a will; state that doctors who provide emergency care at accident scenes not be liable for civil damages; raise the age at which females may contract for marriage from 18 to 21 and from 16 to 18 with parental consent; and suthorization for the recovery of civil damages from parents due to the wilful or malicious destruction of property by minor children. These are just a few bills that have been introduced. Your Representative or Senator might like to know how you regard them. K. A. F.

"Dear Editor: "Bravo to "Ann Varese & Company" for as enjoyable an evening's entertainment as could be desired. " "Bye Bye Birdie" was a complete delight! The cast was excellent, each one, a real "pro". The orchestra and choreography were spirited; lighting was dramatically effective; the sets revealed clever artistry and ingenuity. "One feels compelled to let these people know how much we, the audience, appreciated this wonderful display of talent. "We left the theatre refreshed, and couldn't help "Putting on our happy faces!" "Madeline Nathanson" TO DOG LOVERS "Dear Editor: "As a great lover of animals and also an avid reader of the Plaindealer, I have been reading with interest the" various subdivision news columns telling of the trouble they are having with dogs running loose. "A mother of three and one who wouldn't be wi|Jjout a dog I have always believed in and practiced the theory that the dog's place is in the house and its own yard. For the dog itself it is healthier and safer. For us who are in close contact with it, in most cases the children, it is far healthier. "Sure, the dog running loose may topple garbage cans, soil clothing of their human beloved that they meet and be a -nuisance in the yards of neighbors. But, more important to any dog owner who has a dog because he wants one, the dog can be harmed in these unsupervised excursions -- sick from the trash he may eat, disease from other animals he comes in contact with or the ever present threat of being hit by a car. Ill FOOT FORWARD" Rudi J. Photo Jeannie Jo Benoche, Danny Turner, Jim DeVos and Lee Varese are shown in rehearsal for "Best Foot Forward," which will be presented April 23 and 24 in the Junior high school. "All this comes to mind because t h i s morning I saw-very fine dog, owned by a neighbor of mine, dead by the roadside. Yes, we had complained about our garbage being knocked over and countless times taken the dog home and closed the gates carelessly left open. He was a wonderful, kind and loving dog who, was not responsible for any complaint and surely not deserving of such a violent death. "Dog owners--if you no longer wish to care for' your pet he can be put mercifully to sleep by your local veterinarian for a nominal fee. Otherwise Mr. Dog Catcher please get busy. Your way is much better than being hit by a car or being poisoned by an irate neighbor. Let man's best friend be treated as such, humanely, even if it must be death. Come around, sir, my dog's in the house busy, loving five people and a cat! "Mitzi Weber Johnson "3008 N.
