THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1936 JOSEPH RAUEN HIT SATURDAY NEAR GOLEMAR MANY ACCIDENTS occtfR OVER WEEKEND Traffic on state highways anil in Mc. Henry was extremely heavy" over the holidays with the unusually fine weather attracting thousands of Chicagoans to the likes region in Illinois and Wisconsin. As a result of, the busy weekend the nation counted 441 dead on Monday as the tragic toll of its Fourth of July celebration. Although the city of McHenry was fortunate in Escaping without any serious accidents or casualties automobile accidents and drownings claimed nine lives and caused serious injuries to many other persons in this vicinity over Saturday and Sunday. Joseph Rauen, 71-year-old farmer, living near Colemar, about a mile east Of Spring Grove, was fatally injured about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon when he was struck by one of two cars that met in a collision at the in" wnere neat jrrassnoDners and tersection of Route 60 and the Cole- e^ei-,^nere ,neal' K^snoppeis and tersecti^n chinch bugs have already taken their mar Country u r . toll of small grains and corn.

While the mid-west sweltered over the weekend of July 4th, McHenry, as well as Chicago, was given relief by the lake breeze which made the weather perfect, but on Tuesday the wind shifted to the south and west, bringing in the devastating heat wave which will ravage the crops in this vicinity unless immediate relief comes in rain. Unless soaking rains arrive so,on to bring relief, crop conditions here may soon become critical and equal to the great drouth of 1934, it is believed. CARNIVAL URGE CROWDS] OVERWEEKEND BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS McHenry county's agricultural out- boring cities. Gross receipts of the American Legion carnival, held in McHenry for three days over the July 4th weekend, were $3,536, with estimated net receits of approximately $1,400.

CITY COUNCIL. Incidents in the history of the .cenr* tury since'the founding of McHenry " will tie portrayed in scenes of pageantry, songs and music for three evenings during the Centennjal celebration on July 31, Aug. 1 #hd 2. In an appropriate setting on the campus at the Community High School descendants of the pionere^ and local residents will dramatize the important events in the history of this locality and create anew the highlights which have given the CQmmunity an individuality all its own.- This pageant is being written and will be directed by Marie Agnes Foley, who will give to the people of Illinois something different from the . pageants given at Centennials in neighboring towns. Marie Agnes Foley, the director of the Jack and Jill Players, is wellknown throughout the middle-west for both her stage and radio productions. She came to Chicago eight years ago, after being on the college faculty at the college of St. Teresa in Winona. Minn. Previous, to that time in the east, in ^ither New-, Ycrk or Philadelphia. During the eight years since the founding of the Jack and Jill Players, the organization has grown into a unique concern. As a children's theatrical company, it has presented innumerable plays in its own theater, which is now located at 820 Michigan avenue, Chicago. It has also taken plays out to various schools and clubs throughout Chicap and its suburbs. These plays are always for ' children and presented by a child cast. . - '• Radio Programs Ag an organization supplying' ent for radio dramatic programs, it has grown and grown. Miss Foley now manages people who appear on practically all of the major radio shows, including Painted Dreams, Mary Marlin, Helen Trent. Uncle Ezra, Kid Sister, Foxes of Flatbusii,, Molly of the Movies, Girl Alone, Betty and Bob. Worry Clinic and many others. These radio stars include not only phildren, but also juveniles.

He has been working with Miss Foley for a number of years and they have co-operated e® many previous productions.
