At this first rehearsal meeting of the season, the singers will face some new Chriistmas music, new members and the loss of one of their fine accompanists, Mrs. Virginia Monteleone, who recently nftoved to Chickgo. However, tihe club's d^rector. Mrs. Harry Barr, and the remaining accompanist, Mrs. Ida Quinlan, are two good reasons why members are confident that the club will go on producing fine concerts for the people of McHenry and the surrounding area. The Christmas program, tentatively planned for early in December, will be the first goal this year for the local vocalists and It promises to be different than any of the preceding concerts. Invite New Members . The entire club extends an invi tation to anyone who would like to sing with them to come to this first meeting and enjoy the evening. Old time members announce that the club would be happy for some "reinforcing" and promise real fun for anyone who loves to ising. Anyone interested is welcome, to join. The regular members are espe daily urged to be present next Monday, for there will be an election of new officers. The organization was formed in January of 1947 and In the short period of its existence has presented for the public's enjoyment, five outstanding programs. Such a group is an asset to any community. The fact that a really fine choral club has continued to grow and has gained not only in mem- . be rata ip but enthusiasm in a com- ' paratively small city such as ours ! is ample reason for pride in Mc- Henry's cultural tastes.

H. Meyers died early Friday In St. Joseph's hospital Aurora. He was 96 years old on his last birthday, Feb. 17, and in spite of his advancing years enjoyed hla independence in living by himself in the home he built whqi he came to the village as a slction foreman for the Chicago & TJorth Western railroad. Louis Schmitt of Rt. 3, Ghehalis, Wash., son of Math N. Schmitt of McHnery, again made the news this week, with a new, easily connected easily removed battery terminal clamp which he invented and which was demonstrated by moving picture at the Oregon State Fair, Sept. 5 to 11, at Salem, Oregon. The announcement was made by fair officials. They said the clamp, known com mercially as "Qui-Klamp" removed the terminal clamp from the battery by a simple movement of a lever. As any motorist w(ho has had experience In removing or installing a battery knows, fair men explained, the most difficult part is removing the terminal clamp from the terminal box. Due to corrosion around the top of the battery, the job usually presents quite a problem. The "Qui-Klamp" can be adjusted to fit practically any size<l battery terminal and Schmitt can completely remove the wire cable from the clamp by loosening a couple of set screws, the same screws provided for adjusting the clamp to various sized batteries. The clamps were exhibited at the fair in a movie, entitled, "What's New on Review." There was considerable excitement in the community west of McHenry last Friday afternoon when an elderly Chicagoan became lost, and with his newly acquired English language, -had difficulty in explaining his plight Emmanuel Rak, 76, came out with his two sons to pick mushrooms and (somehow became separated from the boys in the neighborhood of the Clinton Martin farm When the two sons were unable to find him, they notified Sheriff Fred C. Bau, and Deputy Sheriff Clyde C. Miner, who went to the area and searched the fields and woods for two hours without results. In the meantime, in a farm yard in the area, the elderly Rak was noticed by a farm resident, who sought to discover wbat was wrong. She finally learned that he had become lost and desired that «he take him to Chicago, with the assurance that he would compensate for her trouble. She suggested that he go to the Leo Smith farm nearby and they would take him to the bus station in McHenry. After the extensive search which •proved futile, the sons called tihe Chicago home, where they found their father had arrived safe and sound. Incidentally, the Rak family enjoyed their evening meal--without mjt&hrooms.
