A Great Entertainer f During his lifetime in this comihunity no one was more welcome in *ny social group than Mr. Conway. , his music could make any gathering "gay, and his tales of older times, embellished with his own inimitable wit . Will long be remembered, as will his liospitality which, for years made the Same Conway a synonym for it. He . Was a charter member of the Mc- £||enry council, Knights of Columbus. ?s 7 Mr. Conway's funeral was held at 8t. Patrick's church at 9:30 Saturday vorning. At the Solemn High mass kis son. Rev.

Poor, perhaps, in material wealth and honors. no man could wish to be richer in the things of the spirit than he who kad given a son and a daughter to the •ervke of God, and splendid children 4§ the community. The unusually large number of friends who came to pay their last respects to Mr. Conway's memory was • living testament to the truth of the speaker's words and to the loss the ' eommuniy has sustained in the death of this well-loved citizen.

Armstrong, state director. pointed out in stressing the fact that the selecive service system is charged with the responsibility of administering the law, not with enforcing it. "The Selective Service Act is a Federal Law," Mr. Armstrong said, "and j any violation of it is a federal offense. , The department of justice, through j the attorney general, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the various Unit- _____ ed States attorneys, have the duty of ON THANKSGIVING DAY enforcing the law* and prosecuting vi- . j olations."

The Thompsons were married at Crystal Lake in December 1936. Charles A. Beu of Woodstock filed suit for divorce against Anna Beu in the circuit court Saturday. Desertion is charged in the' complaint. They have been married for a long period of time according to the complaint although the exact date has not been mentioned. DIVORCES GRANTED Mae N.

Two hundred fifty plump turkeys were sacrificed, a total of 4.500 pounds, for the most lavish meal of local boards, appeal boards and others unlesp there is reasonable certainty that a violation has been committed. In every case where practicable, Mr. McHENRYITES SHOULD FILE SOCIAL SECURITY fcLAIMS AT WAUKEGAN Qualified individuals living in Lake and McHenry counties who wish to file claims for old-age and survivors insurance benefits may file through the Waukegan field office of the Social Security Board regardless of the place of previous employment. According to Albert S. Lewis, manager of the Waukegan field office, it has recently been brought to his attention that many employees believe they must file claims for benefits in the community in which they were employed Consequently, the claimants may have been put to unnecessary expense and inconvenience with resulting delay in the development and payment of their claims. As the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance is an agency of the Federal Government, operating on a nation-wide «cale, the services of the Waukegan field office are available to any employee regardless of the place where the social security account number was issued or the employment occurred. A representative of the Waukegan office visits McHenry on the second Thursday of each month and is stationed in the post office from 2 p. m. to 4p. m. The next visit will be on December 12 when he will assist any qualified individual who wishes to file a claim or obtain information concerning qualifying requirements. SUFFERS LEG INJURY Jack Smith, McHenry policeman, suffered an injured leg Tuesday when his leg was pinched between two cars at the corner of Elm and Green streets. As he stood talking to a local man who had pulled his truck to the side of the road, the car in back of which Smith was standing gacked out, pinning his leg. Snow on the windows of the car had blocked the second autoist's vision. No bones were broken and he- is expected to be on duty again in a few days.

The Post Office Department and the Department of Justice will willingly assist the alien in every possible way Earl G.

They will be called upon to offer voluntary assistance to further the efforts of the American Red Cross. , It is needless to give a detailed account of the actions of this organization, for they are known to every man, woman and child. It is also needless to say that the Red Cross is in dire need of funds at this particular time, due to the critical stage which the world is undergoing. And so, you are kindly asked to cooperate with Homer Fitzgerald, the local chairman, and his band of workers, in their effort to help the great cause. The workers who are assigned to collect the donations are as follows: Mrs. Viola Lowe, Ringwood; Evelyn Michels, Johnsburg; Mrs. Jake Stoffel, Mrs. Maurice Taxman, Mrs. Geo. Kane, Mrs. Floyd Covalt, Jr., Mrs. William Green, Mrs. Edward Thennes, Mrs. Viola Brda, Miss Lorraine Schaefer, Miss Ethel Althoff, Miss, Sylvia Snyder and Mrs., Jenuie Mae Richardson, all of Mchenry. INTERESTING NEARBY NEWS Housewives sometimes think it's a big enough job to figure out a meal for half a dozen people--but how*d you like to be worrying about how to feed a thousand people? That's the thought that's confronting William ("Bill") Gerber of the National Guard, who is also proprietor of the Midget Eat shop in Antioch. Gerber has received notice that he may soon be summoned to the Armory in Chicago to supervise preparation of meals for a couple of days--for about 1,000 men. Mark Matthews, son of William G.

JOHN DREYMILLER The sudden death of Mrs. Pearl Dreymiller, 49 years old, came as a terrible shock Tuesday night, November 26, just two months after she had buried her 84-year-old mother, Mrs. J. F. Claxton. Mrs. Dreymiller was known and well liked by almost everyone in the community since she had spent her entire lifetime in McHenry. Pearl Claxton was bom March 16, 1891, on the old Claxton homestead, about a mile east of McHenry on route 20, the place in which she spent all of her forty-nine years. She was the eldest daughter of John F. and Mercy Elizabeth Freyer Claxton, who settled on the homestead in 1882. She received her education in the McHenry schools, having been graduated from the McHenry High school with the class of 1909. After further training, she returned to the Public Grade school to teach the primary grades. For several years she was fondly known as "Miss Pearl" to each succeeding class. ' On June 22, 1927, she was married, to John Dreymiller, a local barber. PREPARE ICE SKATING POND IN CITY. TO BE LIGHTED EACH NIGHT The young folks around McHenry are looking forward to a slight drop in the temperature, because if that occurs, they will be able to make use of their "tailor-made" skating pond.

The LaGrange Fire and Police departments responded to the alarm which was turned in by bank officials. The mishap was believed to have occurred either by someone accidentally brushing against one of the alarm buttons or by a short circuit.

NUMBERS ASKED TO REPORT TO AUTHORITY Once again we request, if you have not received a number for your house, please report to A. E. Nye, chairman of the house numbering committee and he will assign your numbers. In case you are one of the persons who does not understand the numbering system, we wish to inform you that Green street and Elm street are the dividing lines for the city and each one is called the 100 block. Pearl street, for instance, is the 200 block, since it is the second block north of Elm street. Waukegan street, however, which is the street south of Elm =tret, is called the 300 block becac Residence Changes Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wegener moved Sunday from the Simon Stoffel place on Waukegan street • into an apartn^nt in the Henry Dowe home on the same street. Mrs. Albert Vales, daughter. Dolores, and William Marshall attended the wedding of the former's niece. Miss Florence Vales, who became the bride of Raymond Kopriva last Thursday. and is therefore, divided into two blocks. Thus, the numbers between Elm and Pearl streets will range from 100 to 200 north. The same numbers will cecur south of Elm street, but they wilf be distinguished by the word south, which will tell you that they are located south of Elm street. Tho same arrangement applies to the streets east and west of Green street. Then too. all of the odd number* have been placed on the north sides of the streets, and all the even are on the sooth and east sides.
