There were specialty shows, barn dances, record hours and a variety of other programs to entertain service personnal stationed in Korea. Fred hopes to make use of his invaluable experience in radio work at some future date, but has definite plans to attend the University of Illinois in February. Describing former territory of the Japanese and its people, the local veteran uses few adjectives of the type which might induce one to choose Korea as an ideal vacation spot. It is located 7,000 miles from tne west coast of the United States and its people, for the most part, seem contented with their 4^00-yearold civilisation. Hay still adhere to the old custom of removing their shoes before enterinr the house. As for dress, the men weir bow ties, long, white coats, baggy trousers tied at the ankles with ribbons, and various types of hats, depending on the age of the man. Many of. the younger men wear no hats. Almost all have Van-Dyke beards, oriental style mustaches and twenty-inch pipes. The women wear long skirts and short jackets, ankle length trousers and white boots.

JOSEPH SMXTf D^D SUDDENLY AT?" JOHKSBURG FRIDAY Residents of the Johnsburg fgrea were shocked last Friday morning Dec. 5, 1M7, to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. Joseph Smith, 66, who passed away in her sleep. Death was believed to have been caused by a heart attack, for she had been apparently in good health. • The deceased was bom in She* boygan, Wis., on Oct 6, 1881, one of sixteen children. She came to Johnsburg thirty-five years ago as housekeeper for Rev. Fr. Berthold of St Johns parish.

It is not uncommon, says our local veteran,' to tbe gpted by a Korean, to address MftT in his own tongue should an American greet him with "Good Morning" in Japanese. As fsr their education, almost all of the Koreans attend what corresponds to our grade school and which includes the first six years. Since most of them must then find work, thoee who wish to continue their schooling, work during the daytime and in the evening attend "middle school," which corresponds to our high school. Here their car* riculum is made up mostly* of such academic subjects as English and mathematics, with little opportunity to learn the various trades or to take other special courses.' The Koreans are in almost every respect very backward, the only progressive movements having been made by the Japanese. One of the most important of these was a deforests tkm program, but when the Japs were driven from the province the Koreans, hurting only themselvee by their revengeful act destroyed all of the young trees which had been planted. ft is an interesting story which Mr. Svoboda tells of the several months spent amidst these unususl people, who are learning very slowly the customs and dress of modem civilisation since the occupation by American troops. deluxe service station with ears, farm, semi-trailer, auto transport, G.

Investigation has extended to McHenry, where authortieis have conducted an extended search for some trace of the missing man. McHenry entered into the picture after John Provancher, 32, of ftockford, a liquor salesmsn and former Rockford police detective, was apprehended on Friday fa a suspect in Sorenson's disappearance. While no charge was fitod against Provancher, ha baa been questioned repeatedly throughout the week snd although his stories have varied from time to time, his remarks have ihed no light on the mystery. A green Nash 1947 sedan, with sun visor and i Rockford wheel tag, the same kind of s car driven by Provancher, was seen-outside of Sorenson's tavern by two farm youths who stopped to cssh a check last week Wednesday mornig. When approhended, the Rockford man said that blood found on his car resulted from the fact that he had hit a pedestrian somewhere near Park Rklge, the previous day. He picked up the man s bleeding body, shoved it into the trunk of the car and later decided to abandon the body, fla airid the man was still alive when he removed the body and tossed' ft it the side of the road. Authoritiee 'checked with Cook and Lake county autorities but failed to find any record of such a case. Provancher was first thought of in connection with the disapeparanee of Sorenson when Chief Folka Bsngsiuu of Rockford recalled that the former policeman had f«rged the name of Ms employer to a check for $1,000 and had cashed it. When Chief Bengston learned that Provancher had borrowed a pin from a policeman friend and had later repaid $400 of the money to hs employer, H was decided to bring hm in for questioning. It was also biown that Provancher called at Sownson's tavern on h i s r o u t e . . . . . Provancher first explained that he had borrowed the money he iisald from William Woll proprietor of the Riverside hotel in IcHenry, but later admitted hi* story of the leu was untrue. He admired that he bad slept in his csr in McHenry Tuesday night and hsd to b pushed the next morning. He clains he returned to Rockford before n»n and remained there for the balaice of the day.

Also present was the edaeitional director of the Illinois Agricultural. Association, who, in a brief talk, gave the public the benefit of his experience with various school Reorganisation problems in other parts of the state. For those who attended previous meetings, last Monday^ hearing was much a repetition of questions and answers which have caused divided opinion on this subject since the tentative report was issued by the survey group several weeks ago. These included the etenomy of the new system, prospects for a junior college in the county and the possibility of greater opportunity for aid to special students. Ae above arguments are acclaimed by the sur-. - . . vey group as benefits to be gained wa»ret«™hl« hon,e from school, under the eounty system.

A letter was read by Supt. C. H. Duker, which he had received from R^p. Thomas A. Bolger, jrho was prevented by illness worn attending the meeting. He has been vitally interested in the subject since the beginning and expressed the hope thst the county plan would not be submitted to the voters. Among others to speak out frankly as opposing the county unit plan was Supt. IDuker, who haa long been an advocate of the community system. Speaking for the county system was Earl Hughes, member of the survey committee, who acted very cipabiy as chairman of the discussion . He was supported by Don Holt of Fox River Grove and by Roland McCaimon, eounty superintendent, who cited their preferences in the report, oopies Of which have been widely diafenbuMft"ee that residents of the county nfight better scqusint themselves with the situation. There was little doubt but that the majority of the local residents in attendance were against the contemplated move to change the educational set-up in McHenry. Contrary to other county meetings in which opinions seemed to be divided on which was the better, the county or the community unit system, locally people presented few arguments in favor of any - particular plan but merely expressed a decidedly negative viewpoint on the proposed county system.

L. Wilburn, manager for the Illinois Bell Telephone Company has announced. "Actually, more than $17,000,000 or about two-thirds of the $25,400,- 000 grafted has been in full effect since last July in the form of temporary rates grsnted by the Commission last June," Wilburn said.

Whether the majority of county residents believe the county system to be the best plan, as the survey committee sincerely thinks it is, is something which only the ballot will determine. The community system, which operates in much the same way ss the county plan but which embraces smaller areas, has been advocated by many as the ideal plan for the consolidation of many of the very small, inefficient schools. There are some others who feel that things are satisfactory as they are and desire no change at all. Should the survey committee decide to present the county system to the voters, there will be both a rural and urban vote in each community snd the plan most have the support of the majority of tha- voters in both areas to carry. Should the effective Dec. 6. Certain special business services such as busines telephone intallation charges and rates for private branch exchange trunks are increased. Manager Wilburn said the company estimates that taxes will take some 40 per cent of the 25 million dollar increase. In commenting about the new rates, G. K. McCorkle president of the company, said: "We regret that the full amount was not awarded, for it was all needed to restore adequate earnings.
