In fact, hisrecord while here is one of which he has every reason to feel proud. Not only has he proven a valuable man as the head of the McHenry school, but his systematic way of conducting- the affairs of the institution has brought to him many high compliments. His election to the office he now seeks at the hands of the voters of the county will naturally mean the ending of is services here. Oswell G. Tread way is a graduate of the Western Illinois State Teachers' college at Macomb, 111., as well as of the Chicago University. Since his graduation from the latter university he taught four years in the country schools, served as superintendent of the Richmond schools for a period of seven years and is now completing his third term as head of the local school system. During the late World war he entered the service of his country and saw eleven months' service on foreign soil, being mustered out of the army with a fine and noble record. He is now president of the northeastern section of the Illinois State Teachers' association and in this capacity has proven himself a capable officer. During his employment in McHenry county he has also been honored with the presidency aa well as the secretaryship of the McHenry County Superintendents' and Principals' association, of which body he has been an active member ever since his first entry into the county. His ability, together with the experience gained in the capacity of rural teacher as well as superintendent, qualifies him well for the eounty superintendency and we fepl safe in stating that the citizens of McHenry county will make no mistake by giving him their votes at the coming primary As far asThe Plaindealer is able to learn Mr. Treadway will be unopposed in his race for the office. President Read* By-Laws ari Cd«imittee Members--Listen to Music Over Radio The first regular meeting and luncheon of the newly formed Community club of McHenry took place at Justen's hotel at 6:30 o'clock on Monday evening of this wefek with over thirty members in attendance. Immediately after the luncheon the business session was called to orderby the preoident, W. L. Howell, who briefly explained, for the benefit of those who hfcd not been present at the organization meeting, just, what had been done at that meeting and the purpose of the newly organized body. During his remarks the president imparted the information that at a meeting of the board of directors a fifth member had been decided upon, the additional member being R. B. Walsh. At the meeting of the board of directors, committees .ancf the members thereof were also decided upon, the committee named and the members of each being read off as follows: Membership--Chas.

On account of the fact that a number of those in attendance wished to get away early in order to listen to the address of Bishop P. J. Muldoon, the meeting was made as short as possible and therefore matters that were to come up were laid over until the next meeting, which is to be held at the same place on Monday evening, Feb. 27, at 7:00 o'clock.

It will be remembered that a like examination was held at Woodstock last fall, at which time the present incumbent in office, Postmaster E. E. Bassett, went over, took the examination and was then, in due course of time, given his report of rating, which, by the way, proved a uost creditable one. Mr. Bassett has also been assured by our congressman that his reap pointment to the office will be recommended very shortly. No doubt patrons of the office as well as his many personal friends will be pleased to learn that the present incumbent is to be retained, thus assuring everyone concerned that the present high standard of service will be maintained at the office for at least another term, four years.
