Mrs. Watkins was trying to call the station in Barrington and the obliging operator cut her into our conversation, and while she was unable to talk to us, she heard the entire pilgrim's program and thus knew what had happened.

We didn't get to see the Homecoming parade in McHenry, but that small goat seen with the Freshman class will someday provide milk for our table. j The football game between the Freshman team of Woodstock high {and McHenry high held a bit of ; drama, not noticible to the fans. In ; the last quarter of the game they j put in two boys from the McHenry j team, and one on the Woodstock j team, who were graduates of Har i rison last year, and who are very I good friends. They are Tommy Martin and Richard Wahnrade of McHenry high and Richard Richards sf Woodstock high. The score was 26 to 6 in favor of McHenry, but with this kind of set-up Harrison just can't lose, so we can just split our partnership whichever way the #ame goes. This is a story of a good neighbor, or perhaps it should go ,under the heading of, "When a Feller Needs- a Friend." Anyway, I wish I had more of this kind to report. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Franz and , thyir three children, recently of j Chicago, with young Mr. Franz, not long ago discharged from two years ! active service in Germany were | caueht up in the housing shortage. I With only a short time to move | and with the few available houses (carrying a "no children" notice, the J Frans family was pretty nearly > frantic. However, a long time ago \ they had purchased a lot in Indian j Ridge, and, with no place to go, that j seemed to be the only place avail- | able, but it was just bare earth. ) They were then confronted with j the lumber and material shortage, j so they decided to build a little ce- ! ment block garage to live in until j such a time as a house could be built. H»ere was another reason that they chose to build that garage first, it was small, and one man, Franx, working alone, might be able to get it put up in time to keep Irs little family from being put out on the street. Working1 madly against time, evenings, Saturday^ and Sundays, the Franz family had still more troubles besetting their path. The little block house did not find favor in the district and letters were written by many who obwted to the appearance of the little house. Over next to the Handy Pantry lives, in the summer, a man by the name of McFeggan. I don't know his initials, nor does the Franz famj ily, or where he lives in Chicago but j he saw this tired couole working long j j after dark, carrying a little three j ' months old child back and forth and j 1 he inquired into the circumstances, j Last week he went over to the j ) builder and told the man to move his j family into the McFeggan home until |i% own waa finished.
