Green Straat FHONE ,17»u>c imammMW/ Dr. and Mrs. Henry Freund and Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Wirtz left last weekend for Tipton, Iowa, where they attended last rites this week for Bert Christian, about 40 years old, a sonin- law of the Freunds. Mr. Christian was killed early Thursday afternoon of last week when the brakes of the car he was driving failed and it plunged over the side of a- mountain road about fifteen miles from the Christian home at l^oncha, Ark. One of the Christian children, Stanley, 11, was still unconscious in a hospital at Harrison, Ark., when word reached McHenry relatives of the accident several hours later. Mrs- Christian (she was Ernestine Freund of McHenry) and a daughter, Karen, 6, were hurt only slightfj^. "However, a young boy from Iowa who was visiting the Christians, was critically injured in the crash. Only meager details had been learned by the Freunds when they left McHenry Saturday morning. Mrs. Christian is well known in McHenry, where she received much of her education. She graduated as valedictorian from the local grade school in 1929. The family resided in Iowa until purchasing a farm at Poncha and moving farther west last January. £T. JOHN'S SCHOOL TO OPEN IN FALL; r NUNS FILE ANSWER Continued from Page \ Mrs. Dorothy Larsen on April 10. In the meantime, the Sisters have resigned from the schoc^ and their resignation has been accepted by the board of education. They feel that with their resignation, practices which they were accused of carrying out will no longer be an issue and therefore there is no reason for the law suit to be continued. The action by the Sisters was taken to restore harmony in the community. WATER SAFETY PROGRAM Word comes from Mrs. Phinney of the Red Cross that a water safety program will be held in McHenry from June 29 through August 8.

Continued from' Page 1 and the recession!^ "Praise the Lord" by Biggs. > One of the most impressive portions of the day's program will be the dedication of the new Grotto of the Blessed Mother, which is still under construction but which will be completed in time for the jubilee celebration The grotto is being erected by the parishioners of St. Mary's church in memory of Msgr. Nix. Serve Dinner Dinner will be served in the high school cafeteria at 1:30 o'clock next Wednesday to visiting priests and relatives of the guest of honor. Serving will be in charge of the Christian Mothers society and music will be furnished by the school children. i jp Toastmaster for the occasion will be th'e Most Rev. William J. O'Brien, Bishop of Chicago and president of the Extension society. Activities will be concluded with an evening program in the high school gymnasium at 8 o'clock, followed by a dance at the parish hall to which the public is invited. . Msgr. Nix has become beloved by all who have ccme to know him in the thirty-two years he has served as St. Mary's pastor. His kindly manner has proved a source of strength to adults and children alike since 1921. As a young man, he studied at St. Francis seminary in Milwaukee and was ordained at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago July 11, 1903, by Archbishop James Edward Quigley. After serving as assistant at St. Anthony, St. Boniface and Sacred Heart churches, Chicago, he was sent to St. Joseph's in Aurora. In less than a year, 1909, he became pastor of the Catholic church In Virgil, west of SL Charles, a post he kept until coming here several years later. The community offers congratulations to Msgr. Nix and adds to it the hope that for many years in the future he may continue to serve, in an important way, the people both within and without his parish. . Since 1921, St. Mary's school was erected, a convent built and the interior of the church remodeled until only the seats remain to remind one of an earlier period. WE OFFER YOU CONGRATULATIONS CARD OF THANKS I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks to those who sent me flowers, offered prayers in my beha'f and visited me during the time I Xconfined to the hospital.

She is observing her ninety-fifth birthday anniversary on Friday, June 5. This very remarkable lady remains in quite good health and takes an unusual interest in the happenings of her friends and of the community in general. She feels keenly the state of world conditions and realizes the importance of her country's leaders. For this reason she insisted on going to the polls last ^November and cast her vote f-ir her favorite candidate. Mrs. Justen has been one of those persons who has decided to stay young by continuing her growth with that of the community in which she lives. She recalls With a smile the day ter youth wfien she was deliver* ing some furniture, vra horse, into Lake county for her lata husband, N„ J.' Justen. It wa» a muddy, spring day when old Dobbin became mired in the clay soU and was unable to move. More than a half century has passed since that day and in that time Mrs. Justen has become accustomed to the mode n conveniences of t'Ji ear and later the airplane. It was after she and her husband had celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1929 that she decided on her first plane ride. It must be a pleasant experience to grow older when one does it aa gracefully as Mrs. Justen SENIOR CLASS PICTURE Because the picture of the graduating class of the high school was not returned from the engraving plant in time for this week's issue of the Plaindealer, photos of the seniors will appear in next week's paper.
