LARGE CROWD MAKES OPENING MOST AUSPICIOUS ONE St. Patrick's new church ball, which occupies the basement of the beautiful new church edifice, was most auspiciously opened before a large audience here last Saturday evening. Altho the condition of the roads kept many of the rural residents away, the seats were well filled when the beautiful, drop curtain lifted for the first act of "The Bubble," a three-act comedy. The play, the stage setting- and the cast seemed to fit the occasion perfectly and, judging from the comments as heard after the performance, all were pleased with the evening's entertainment. The audience was not only pleased with the entertainment provided for this occasion, but also with the thought that McHenry has thus been granted another place of amusement, and which, in years to come, is certain to provide many a pleasant evening. The hall is a spacious one with a seating capacity of approximately 425, is equipped with comfortable seats, ladies' and gents' waiting rooms and toilets and last, but not least, is well ventilated. In connection with the hall there is also a conveniently arranged kitchen and workroom and which will come In very handily at a time of serving of suppers or banquets. All in all, St, Patrick's new hall is the most complete of its kind in the village and, as previousy stated, social affairs of the parish will come with more regularity in the future. Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of St Patrick's church, appeared in a short opening address last Saturday evening, in which he announced the evening's attraction as well as his aim to provide another series of lyceum entertainments for the coming fall and winter. His aim in providing these entertainments, the speaker told his audience, was not merely for financial gain, but to provide the higher grade of entertainment for the public of this community. Next season's series, according to the pastor's announcement, will be a more expensive one than that just closed and for this reason single admissions as well as season tickets. pall cost * trifle more*. ; j ; - RESIGNS AS TREASURER OF THE FOX RIVES * LAKES IMPROVEMENT .ASSOCIATION At the regular monthly meeting of the directors of the Fox River A Lakes Improvement association, held on March 13, the* resignation of Mr. Joseph C.

Mertes line on Pistakee bay, which for a number of years has been successfully conducted by Mr. Mertefi on Pistakw and Fox lake. It is the plan of the Hunter line to add a number of high grade passenger boats to the Pistakee service, which will operate between Pistakee and Fox Lake, making connections with all important trains at the Fox Lake station. The new line will not only serve rssorters and visitors around Pistakee lake and bay, but will also cater to the other lakes, besides doing a general excursion business. The Pistakee line's headquarters wfll be at the Oak Park hotel. Everett Hunter, -Sr., who is the owner of the line bearing his name, as well as the newly acquired property, informs us that the "Gladene" may be transferred to the Pistakee Lake service, altho this has not been definitely decided. It is the aim of Mr. Hunter to give the public the very best of service at all times and if there is sufficient patronage the "Gladene" will be added to the Pistakee line. Mr. Hunter also informs us that he has been successful in his endeavor to Secure the service of J. G. Smith of Chicago, who will be given complete charge of the Pistakee line. Mr. Smith has had years of experience in running boats on Lake Michigan between the city of Chicago and Lincoln park. He also operated a boat for the Columbia boat line at Fox Lake and is considered a good, reliable man Mr. Smith will probably move his family to this village. HEW CASHIER ARRIVED • -i ' .

End« Long and Bitter Fight The awarding of the contract brings to a close a fight that has been waged here for quite a number of years. Two attempts had previously been made to insure such an improvement for the village, but on both occasions it MI through. The third, hnravtr, proved successful. Should Work Together Now that the sewerage question has been definitely settled, it should be the spirit of everyone to set aside the j past and all work hand in hand for' a greater McHenry. That said improvement will mean a great deal for McHenry. Just what sort of entertainment will be provided for this occasion has not as yet been definitely decided, altho it is certain that a dinner will precede the evening's festivities. The club's entertainment committee oonsists of four live wires in the person of Carl W. Stenger, F. E. Covalt, Dr. F. J. Aicher and Peter J. Heimer and the ladies may rest assured that they will "spring" a real entertainment for this special occasion. The meeting of Tuesday night was by about fifty members, a great deal better attendance than was recorded at the previous dinner meeting.

There is a splendid hall and winter chapel in connection with tile ohurth and beneath the chapel is a roomy garage, like plans ©f die church were drawn by W. J. Van der Meer of Rockford. The hall was opened in the evening by "The Bubble company," a Redpath attractipn. The play was well re ceived by an audience that completely filled the hall, which has a capacity of 425 people.

MeHENRY MAN GOES IN DITCH SUNDAY BVBNING Woodstock* American: Clifford Cambridge of McHenry was the victim of an automobile accident last Sunday evening, when the car in which he was driving left the road and went into the ditch just after he had left the paving between Woodstock and McHenry Mr. Cambridge had J. A. Conrad of Chicago teek up his duties as cashier of the Fox River Valley State bank on Wednesday morning of this week. On account of the illness of the former cashier, Gerald J. Carey, and in view of the prospects that the latter would not be able to return to the institution for a long time, the directors have engaged Mr. Conrad. The new cashier, Who has had most of his experience in larger banks than that of the Fox River Valley State, comes to McHenry very highly recommended and the board of directors as well as eAcials of the institution take this means of introducing the new official. It was pleasing to the bade directors and officials to have the McHenry Community club go on record last Tuesday evening as volunteering the bank its moral support This action was taken in the form of a resolution and came entirely unexpected -to the men directly connected with the banking house. Officials of the bank inform us that things are gradually coming back to normalcy at their institution and with the co-operation of the general public the bank, within due course of time, should hold a more commanding position than ever in its history. Mr. Carey, whp is thus relieved of the cashier's responsibilities, is still confined to his bed at his home on Green street and it is feared tint an operation will be necessary to restore him to his former good health. ALUMNI GIRLS VS. HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SATURDAY The girls' teams, reprseenting the McHenry Alumni and high school, have been putting in some hard practice during the past two weeks in an endeavdV to get into - condition for their tussle at the high school gym next Saturday night The Alumni girls will probably line up something like this: Forwards, Lillian Stilling, Dorothy Spencer, Mildred Welch and Bernice Bonslett; guards, Varina Wentworth and Arline Harrison. Lora Hughes and Dorothy Nickels will change about at the center positions, while the former may also try her hand at forward and the latter at guard. The members of the Alumni and the years they played" with high school are as follows: Lora Hughes, 1912-1913; Lillian Stilling, 1916-1917; Bernice Bonslett, 1916-17- 18; Mildred Welch, 1917-18-19; Dorothy Nickels, 1919-20; Dorothy Spencer, 1919-1920; Varina Wentworth, 1916-17-18; Arline Harrison, 1921. by Mrs. H.
