Thursday. February 11. 1965 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER jwT Section One -- Page Three Replica Of Lincoln Log Cabin On Display This Week In honor of Abraham Lincoln's birthday Feb. 12, the Mc- Henry County Historical Society has placed a replica of his log cabin birthplace in the window of the McHenry County Landl Company on Benton street Woodstock. The replica was made by a Henry Borgerson of Crystal Lake a number of years ago and given by him to Floyd Eckert of Woodstock, who, in turn, has presented it to the society. There will also be on display a copy of the New York Herald for Saturday, April 15, 1865 telling of the assassination and death, printing the hourly bulletins of the death watch. The newspaper is of two sheets ^nd measures fifteen inches by twenty-two inches high. This belongs to G. Watson Lowe of Cary. There is also a good reproduction of Lincoln in profile to complete the exhibit. Lincoln was not the only president born in a log cabin. Presidents James A. Garfield and James Buchanan were also born in them. At one time there was a popular saying that a boy's chances of becoming president were not good unless he was born in one. Acquire Cabin The Historical Society has acquired the 125-year-old log cabin standing on the Ed Gannon farm, near Huntley, and in which his father was born in 1840. % It could be older than that as the history before that is not recorded. It has been moved once since its original erection. This spring it will be moved again to a site on the fair grounds and placed on a concrete platform to raise it off the ground. It will be moved by a professional mover and later restoration will be made of a wood floor, window and door frames and roof. Depending on the expense, this work might have to be done in stages. The societey hopes to replace the roof with the type that was originally on it. During Fair Week it will be staffed and open to the public and items of pioneer living will be on view in the interior. School children of the county are asked to share in the preserving "of this symbol of the past and'a way of life many of their forefathers knew. The society is putting on a campaign, "Pennies For The Log Cabin", throughout the elementary schools of the county, public, Catholic and Lutheran. Containers will be placed in each school room for the children to drop their pennies in. The campaign will start Feb. 15th and cany through Feb. 26. The room turning in the most pennies will have it§ picture taken. - 0 SECRETARIES TO HEAR SECURITY BOARD MANAGER Monday, Feb. 15, is the meeting date for the Shoreland chapter of the National Secretaries' association at Ted's Downtown Restaurant in Waukegan.

David Stacton once again proves himself not only one of the best but also one of the most versatile writes of fiction at work in America today. His unorthodox historical novels have ranged in time from Ancient Egypt to nineteenth-century America and have won him acclaim in both Europe and the United States. Now he has chosen a contemporary setting for his work, a movie festival on the Franco-German border. Nowhere else have the sophisticated wit and elegance that are his hallmarks been shown to a better advantage than in this bittersweet comedy of the reunion of two old friends. Lotte and Charlie have known each other for almost thirty years. She is an internationally famous singer and actress; he is a successful novelist. Together, they are the glamorous folk heroes of our times, created by the press and the public's dc- IN COLOR GUARD SHOW Grayslake; two brothers, John and Joseph of Round Lake and a sister, Mrs. Mary Dutzler of Grayslake.

They know and respect each other's foibles and eccentricities, and over the years, despite long periods of separation, a genuine fondness has sprung up between them. Each has arrived at the festival in the company of a much younger person. Charlie with a young man and Lotte with a young woman. In Charlie's case at^east, there is no doubt about the relationship that exists. While the two older people reminisce and attend to the business that has brought them to the festival, the two younger people meet and, eventually elope. Not completely wise and not yet world-weary, Charlie and Lotte, each in a different way, rise to the occasion, that ironic defeats can be changed to wry victories. Not since the vintage Gertrude Lawrence comedies has the public had a chance to enjoy a work like "Old Acquaintance," urbane and funny, naughty and touching, outrageous and human. ADULT NON-FICTION "The Rest of the Story" by Sheilali Graham "Beloved Infidel", the best selling first installment of Sheilah Graham's life, burst upon the reading public as a distinct surprise. Describing her rise from a London orphanage to celebrated show lonely figure who found solace with this pretty and eager young English girl. Now, covering the years 1940 to the present, Sheilah Graham tells what happens when the big love in a young woman's life is over but the need to go on living, loving, and achieving remains. After Fitzgerald's death, there is only the desparate urgency to leave Hollywood, to fly to New York, and be with others who had loved him- his daughter, his editor, his agent, his friends. But then an extraordinary new life opens up for Sheilah Graham, one that takes hor to bombedout England as a correspondent, into a wartime marriage that gives her two children, through a divorce and finally back to Hollywood for the selfappointed task of capturing success in capital letters. As an odyssoy of a modern woman, "The Rest of the Story" is compellingly honest, bluntly straightforward and heartachirigly human. From Edmund Wilson and Mary McCarthy to Lord Beaverbrook and GBS, from stringer to one of the three most powerful columnists in the last golden years to Hollywood, from Lucy and Liz to Brando and Burton, the book is studded with famous people she came to know and even more fascinating events she lived through on her rise to the $5,000-a-week success goal she girl, society adventuress, and newspaperwoman, it culminated in the unexpected story of the poignant and tragic love she . experienced with Scott Fitzgerald, then a forgotten, now had set for herself. Containing hitherto unpublished Fitzgerald material, "The Rest of the Story" is also a unique addition to the growing library of Fitzgeraldiana. But above all i^ is the story of a woman in search of herself and of a mother determined to give her children all that she herself had missed as a child. If indeed the fnodern woman seeking both love and marriage, children and a career is one of the central dilemmas of contemporary life, then no one personifies this struggle and search in more dramatic terms than Sheilah Graham.
