Manor lane, Eastwood Manor, and second ruraier-up was Nancy Gaub,6, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Gaub of 3229 E. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake. Mariannette will continue in competition with the DeKalb winter for division title. If she is successful, she will go into the final contest to determine the Illinois-Eastern Iowa district title holder. Mc- Henry girls have won this honor for the past two years. Appearing on the decorated platform, Mariannette wore a pink chiffon over nylon net dress with white shoes and lace socks. To questioning by Mrs. Lynn Dill of Radio Station WKRS, Waukegan, she displayed an appealing pertness in listing her hobbies as swimming and eating and her favorite foods as hot dogs and beans. FIRST TIME WINNER Asked why she wanted to become Little Miss Peanut, the hazel-eyed youngster pondered momentarily and then answered that it was because she had never won a contest. When asked how die would feel if she lost , Mariannette readily told the large crowd that she wouldn't really care because then she wouldn't need to take the boat ride (the contestants had just seen films of last year's post -contest activities J Mariannette* s mother described her daughter, whose nickname is "Puppet", as most excited on their arrival home. She had really not expected to win since Mrs. Schmit entered her in her first contest to learn how to become a good loser and congratulate the lucky little girl who would became Little Miss Peanut. Alan Meyer, as contest chairman, welcomed the many guests and explained the procedure to be followed. Mrs. Dill, in her role as M.C., adeptly dispelled any nervousness of the children as she asked questions which broqght forth a variety of spontaneous answers from s • •- i" " S8E3? gineer, for which his studies are h^lptag him to prepare. In making application to come to Ms country, Frank wrote to the American Field Service as follows: "I want to study here because I feel it would be an unforgettable experience in which I would get to know the methods of teaching and how the students here differ from those in Panama. I want to know some of the cities of the United States and the history of its culture. ^ The young Panamanian student was inspired to inquire about the opportunity ^ studying here through an acquaintance who had won a scholarship, showed him an album of pictures taken in the United States and told of his wonderful experiences. Frank has expressed a belief that he can help others who, like himself, have great desire to come here. Hie other students who have come here for study are Paulo Lopez of Brazil, Mercury Do of Vietnam, Anthony Carmonaof Sfeain aid Carlos Remus of Argentina. C of C Plans Baek-To-School Marathon Days (Continued from page 1) SALE DAYS Summer Dollar Days were discussed, to take place this weekend, and merchants stated that they had many items selected as unusual values. The member ship voted to hold a Midnight Madness sale which was referred to Harry Dean, chairman of the sub-committee on new promotions, to formulate plans.

The next meeting of the retail committee will be held A<£. 30, when all interested persons are urged to attend. Musin' & Meanderin ger of McHenry. It is a most interesting paper of historical value. On Page 3 of this issue a large space is devoted to a Voice of ih.3 People message signed by many local citizens, asking a reconsideration on the sale of Landmark. On another page appears a Public Pulse letter written by the secretary of the McHenry Historical society, stating the importance of retaining such buildings and their valu2 to the community. We would welcome further comment along this line in future issues. \JJ>/ McHenry Eagle Scout At First Jamboree In U.S. (Continued from page 1) attending the Twelfth World Jamboree being held Aug. 1-9 at the old Farragut Naval base, now a state park, near Coeur d'Alene,Idaho. As hosts to the Boy Scouts of the world for the first time, it is the initial opportunity the Boy Scouts of America have had to show what they can do and they are determined to give their guests an unforgettable nine days. Tom and William Grogg of Crystal Lake are the only Scouts from McHenry county among ten approved to attend the Jamboree as representatives of the Blackhawk Area council. They were interviewed by a special committee representing Region 7 of the Boy Scouts before being approved. All are of high ranking and are proficient in campcraft skills. They have a knowledge of world conditions and history of the United States. STATE ENCAMPMENT Tom left McHenry July 24 for Yorkville, 111., where nearly 600 Scouts from Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan were encamped. During the three-day encampment, they imderwent training on how to make camp at the Jamboree. The boys lived in tents, cooking their own food and practiced other Scout skills. On Wednesday of last week they left by train for Seattle, Wash., where they spent through Saturday sight-seeing, including a tour of Puget Sound, Naval ship yard and the Space Needle. On Sunday, they sailed the SJS. Princess Marguerite to Victoria, British Columbia, returning to arrive at the Jamboree site in Farragut last Monday evening. To make sure that their first role as host was carried out as perfectly as possible, Scouts have been planning for the event for more than three years. Details were so thoroughly executed that every restaurant at which the thousands of boys stopped in traveling across the country was inspected by host scouts for cleanliness, cost and good taste. The real food problem, however, has been encounteredthis week and the menus offered at Farragut have been worked to give overseas yot&h a thorough taste of American cooking. One night the Scouts are scheduled to barbecue a ton of salmon and more than two tons of beef. For other dinners they are eating fried chicken, beef stew and steak. •< 1*5. t< ' *T-;*" *• Just in case you haven't sera those reminders of the season ahead, we can assure you that even at mid-year someone besides the kiddies is thinking ahead to Christmas. At least (me store we visited had boxes of cards piled high as early as July 15. No wonder the postmaster tears his hair when we come running into the post office with the last bundle to mail on Dec. 23. Ths McHsnry community joined with owners of the small white chapel on Wilmot road in regret over vandalism which resulted to this landmark during the past week. Swastikas and hammer and sickle marks were found painted on the sides of the building, marring the appsarance of a small building deidicated to prayerful purposes.

Rts. 120 A City 14 $ SHOPPING LETS the shopping lists worked out for the Jamboree began with 2,600 specially designed cookstoves and sixty-five tons of charcoal, as well as 23,016 bananas, 36,736 loaves of bread and 175,808 quarts of milk, just for. a start. The boys are also expected to consume 10,627 pounds of hot dogs. Those in charge say figuring precisely is a must, since jtfst one extra hot dog per boy would provide left-overs to feed, a small town. 1 In the pluming, of couriS, religious services were not forgotten. No fewer than thtyy chaplains are holding services for many different faiths, including Roman Catholic, various Protestant denominations* Jewish, Mislim, Mormon and Buddhist. Some of the services are being translated into lour languages. ft is doubtful if Aug. 9 will pass without much being accomplished toward one of the major aims of the Jamboree, fostering friendship and understanding of others.
