MilUr-Publishcr Adoto Proehlich-Editor Frame for Landscape Green goes with grass like red goes with rose and blue with violets. It is good to reemphasize the function of the green lawn as a component of the landscape. Actually, in a way, it's a little deflating to realize that the lawn is only the background for other landscape features such as shrubs, flowers and architectural struc- •piures. Lawns have toetQr for the picture. We hardly notice the frana?/ unless it is out of plac£ or inappropriate for the type of picture. Lawns should be so uniform that they are inconspicuous. The $24.00 trouble is they are so attractive in that state that they can't help but be noticed. 3toart> Winning ' i MEMBER NATIONAL NEWSPAPER ASOCIATION \ Jf SUBSCRIPTION RATES Bill Coughlin, McHenry, and Deena Rohrer, Crystal Lake, portray a lively pair of circus performers in the St. Thomas church production of "Carnival", scheduled for May 13,14, 20, and 21, at 8 p.m. in Loras hall, the lower level of St. Thomas church, Route 17« and Oak street, Crystal Lake.
