It is said the fog extended from the Mississippi river to Cleveland and from Indianapolis northward past Milwaukee, with air schedules discontinued until the heavy "pea soup" lifted. The heavy mist moved slowly arid according to reports reached Chicago about 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. It did not reach McHenry, howtver, until nearly 4 o'clock when the bright sun, shining in a clear sky, was suddenly obscured by the heavy fog which swept in like a dense smoke screen, bringing an end to a beautiful springlike day* Automobile traffic was retarded as roads became obscured l>y the thick fog and-buses ran far behind sched ule, due to the bad roads and fog. Motorists drove with great care and no serious accidents in this vicinity were reported. On Monday night the dense fog made driving ah impossibility and motorists starting for Woodstock and other nearby towns were forced to turn back, unable to^ complete their trips. Ray E. Maack, 35 years old, head of the Maack Motor company, Harvard, received possible fatal injuries early Monday morning when his automobile and a Fox Valley coach line bus, driven by Irving Aavang of Woodstock, collided at the foot of Biggers hill in Algonquin. Maack was taken to Sherman hospital, Elgin, where his condition was reported "critical. He received a fracture of one leg and severe Internal injuries. Automobile traffic alone was not delayed by the fog. Trains were reported running behind schedule and flying conditions became so poor that air transport firms grounded all their ships in the fog-hound area.

' tts f' judging from letters that are reaching the WLS Barn Dance Show committee of the Fox River Grove Republic Club, there isn't a community in McHenry County which will not be represented by home talent on the evenings of January 17, 18 and 19, 1935, when that nationally known laughter producing spectacle will be staged in Louis' Crystal Ballroom. Those now nationally famous characters, such as the Lazy Farmer, Lulu Belle, Uncle Ezra, Spareribe, Slim, Slats, will once again be brought to life and reproduced. They wjll once again make audiences laugh as they never laughed before for three succ e s s i v e n i g h t s . ---- Old-time fiddlers are already dragging out their beloved instruments and giving them daily tryouts. Yodelers, harmonica players, guitar players, old-time German hands, and scores of soloists are rehearsing frantically. In fact, the whole county is buzzing with the ^efforts of home talent, getting ready to put on the most hilarious^ fast-fhoving, laughter provoking show ever seen. Home talent shows have always been popular and always will be. The WLS Prairie Farmer Barn Dance Shows are home talent plus. In these shows local talent is utilized to reproduce characters who h»ve delighted audiences in theatres and on the radio for years. ' a Such shows as the WLS Barn Dance delight not only those who see'them,^ but also those who fcart in them. %ey are & distinct asset to any community and "records disclose that as a general rule the laai evening of tlie three performances rofcws the largest audiences. The village of Fox River Grove has earned an enviable reputation for the oft demonstrated ability of its home talent. The village has been the host of large audiences in the past and th° ] Republican Club believes that in spon- | soring the production of the WLS ! Bam Dance it will bring together the j largest gathering of McHenry County residents ever seen in Fox Rivet Grove. The members of tlte club believe also that those who attend will witness a really fcfjjat show and will have the greatest fi*i of their lives. At a meeting of the McHenry County Republican Central Committee in Woodstock, Friday evening, January 4, 1935, various committeemen present declared frankly that they had attended as many as three of the #LS Barn Dance performances and wouldn't miss any future ones. It is» fto exaggeration to say that r/o one has ever regretted attending any of the shows. Tickets for the Fox Rivfrfr Grove Barn Dance Show can xibtained from Republican committeemen in Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Cary, iygonquin, McHenry, Dundee, or from any one in Fox River Grove. Those who fail to secure tickets can naturally pay admission at the door of Louis' Crystal Ballroom, Fox River Grove, Illinois, for either of the performances, January 17, 18, or-ldv---~~*. Those who wish to take a character OT otheT active part as performers in fhe show can still do so by notifying Judge Ervin LeGros, Fox River Grove, Illinois, Cary 15, or the Fox RIvev Grove Drug Company. A fully competent theatrical director furnished by the WLS Prairie Farmer Barn Dance organization is now on hand ready to rehearse all those who will go on ther stage. Tryouts will be held at 7 p. m. at Louis' Crystal Ballroom. HOME BUREAU MEETING Ringwood unit of the Home Bureau met at the home of Mrs. F. A.

Kathryn Barbijm, Green str*et 88 £q a recent editorial appeared the statement that the radio was seriously retarding recovery. The argument advanced In support of this opinion was that the time, one hundred million hours per year, spent in listening in, could be more profitably used In auto riding, paying the price of admittance to movies or other entertainment, or in seeking a job. All very good, doubtless much lime* is wasted on listening ltf to messages from the air which have neither an educational nor socialxalue. On the other hand, is it not fair to say that an equal amount of time is spent in hearing addresses, music, etc., which are very much worth while? One of the most valuable contributions which the radio has made toward unifying our-=Wtional life has been the privilege of hearing from coast to coast the voice of the President of our country--whether we agree with all he says or not. When we hear the chimes of Big Beft in London or the voice of Antarctic explorer, Byrd, somehow we realise something of the solidarity of the human race and that this Is not such a large world after all. That the privileges of the radio are abused, we agree. Many persons listen in to what Is really not worth hearing, but no rt»e can discount the value ®f the radio as a,„.dlsjinct and important contribution to our modern life. The critic above mentioned forgets another fact--we are. of the opinion that the amount oi money spent for movies and other entertainments, when totaled, would approximate the total spent in the purchase and maintenance of radios, so from a. monetary point of view the account balances. We are of the opinion that-we have only started the development of the wireless transmission of .sound. Light will come next. Before long we shall be able not only to hear grand opera but to see it enacted on a" sllvw screen, transmitted by radio. . •• v W«K»rn Wwpfxr Psion. Old Time Fiddlers' Contest! . w.
