Herbert Dithtfm, O.F.M.. from Mayslake Retreat House, will be guest speaker tonight (March 8) at the open meeting of the Knights of Columbus at 8:15 p.m An invitation is extended to all men whether they are members of the Knights or not, to come and hear Fr. Herbert speak on the retreat movement. There is still time for those interested to join the next group of retreatants who will leave for Mayslake Friday afternoon, March 16, and return the following Sunday evening. All Knights are urged to attend tonight's meeting and bring their friends to greet Fr. Herbert, this year's retreat master, whose talk will prove of great inspiration and interest to all. They are asked to avail themselves of this excellent opportunity, particularly during the Lenten season, to obtain first hand information about the retreat. Will** Be Held March 29 An In Readiness For Talent Night March 10. Last, minute practices are now in progress for Talented Friends' night Saturday, March 10, in the McHenry high school audtorium, with the colored people spending many hours in preparation for the presentation of their minstrel show. Other highlights will infcude the Kane county midget square dancers and the ballet dance by Mrs. R. Kane, which will be an interpretation of "Red Shoes". Tickets will be available at the door for those who have not purchased them in advance. Proceeds will benefit the Ringwood church basement building fund. For the second time since the first of the year, plans are taking shape for the annual carnival which the McHenry Business Men's association is sponsoring. It will be remembered that the carnival was postponed on Feb. 1 when a severe storm made any further thought of holding ,the event that evening seem unwise. The new date of the carnival has been set for Thursday, March 29, at the Just For Fun roller rink, with the same 'fine entertainment planned. After the curtailment of social activities during the Lenten season, the carnival, with its variety of attractions, should be especially welcome. A champion barbershop quartet has been secured to appear that evening, as well as the team of Otto Pyritz and his accordion and Frank Holmes and his electric guitar. Math Schulien's appearance promises to amaze both young and old with his sleight of hand tricks, which have been termed absolutely unbelievable by those who have seen him perform. Special games will be provided for the children. . A Marine Day booth will set folks to reminiscing about last summer's big event and many will have an opportunity to see pictures and films of the day's activities which never before may have been available to them. The queen and her court will be present to welcome visitors and add a decorative note to the booth.

About 11 o'clock Monday even ing they were called to the ma chine shop of Francis Weiler, just north of the Lily Lake school house, where a fire started from an overheated stove. Damage to the building amounted to about $400 and tools valued at $1,500 wfere destroyed. On Tuesday afternoon they stopped a grass fire from- gaining headway near the rollju- rink.

Waynne. The c^ntinned campaign asatnat speeding on city streets takes OH special meaning with the approach of the spring season. Although the driving hazards of snow and ice will not be present much longer, the increase in traffic, plus the added activity of children on the streets, create a great safety problem, especially In a summer resort community. For the last sixty-day period, a police report for the city of McHenry lists thirty arrest)*, the charges being various automobile infractions of the law in adlitlott to twelve charged with speeding and found guilty. Included anumg the former were arrests for passing through ston signs and drlTIng without mufflers. Spring fever, which traditionally makes most people lAty, Is also known to put pep Into driven, who find the long stretch of cleat pavement a treat in comparison with the ice-laden streets of the previous months. McHenry drivers, particularly teen-agers, who seem most affected by the change of seasons, are urged to turn their new found spirit Into other, more rewarding channels for their own sake and also for the safety of their fellow townspeople. Other items of Interest Oft the police report include two assault cases, two attempted assault cases, eighteen disorderly conduct cases, one sex maniac returned to prison, one arrest for leaving the scene of accident which involved serious injury, with guilty verdict returned: two A.W.O.L. servicemen returned to Fort Sheridan and one to Great Lakes. No burglaries and no robberies have taken place in the city in the last sixty days, due to the efficiency of the loc&l po1l& partment, members of which have worked very hard to suppress crime. In reference to crime, McHenry must surely have the clearest record in the state, for none exists here. Police officers say the sheriffs office in Woodstock hat been most cooperative with the local department They are also greatly appreciative of the assistance and cooperAjMnn of the local telephone operators.

Walsh, fund drive chairman. The amount is still far front the 1951 quota but all sections of the area have not yet reported in. Two reasons for failure to meet the quota early in the campagn! this increase in the amount assigned to this community and the fact that some territory was taken from the original McHenry drive area of last year. Those who have not yet donated to this worthy cause may still give their contributions to Mr. Walsh or to Mrs. George Barbian.
