Louise, whose maiden name was also Larson, was born 70 years ago in Sweden and met her future husband in Woodstock. They weie married in the county ,seat Feb. 25, 1905. After giving up farming, Mr. and Mrs. Larson enjoyed a memorable trip to thqir native Sweden in 1939, where they spent three months with relatives and friends. Although their trip was hurried somewhat with the impending war, Mr. Larson was especially • happy to spend as much time as possible with his father, Who was then over 90 years old. In 1941 they moved to Hebron and opened a small business in which they are still very active. They are members of Grace Lutheran church in Woodstock. The Lai sons have six children, Sylvia Gustafson of Woodstock, Gladys Miller of McCullom Lake, Gordon and Clarence of Wonder Lake, Clarice Haller of North little Rock, Ark., and Norma Thomas of Hebron; also ten grandchildren. Sunday's celebration is the result of planning by all of the - children, who will be present along with the couple's many friends. The Desire to Get Ahead NAME WALTER WINN '55 INTERNATIONAL DAIRY SHOW HEAD Walter E. Winn of Richmond, president of the Pure Milk association and well known throughout this community, was named director of the 1955 International Dairy show, according to an announcement made at a kick-off luncheon in Chicago last Friday. The PMA has long been one of the leaders in planning for the annual show. It has cooperated with the International Dairy show and other Chicago dairy Intei ests in developing the judging and showing of animals. In announcing Mr. Winn's election - to the board, W. A. Wentworth added, "The officers and directors of the International Dairy show are happy to have ' a man of Mr. Winn's stature and abilities elected to their group. Mr. Winn's broad interest in ail dairy matters will be of immense help in counseling this group and helping to develop those phases of the International Dairy show that relate to the practical angles of production and management." (An Editorial) Even before the days when the Horatio Alger books started getting around, the desire to get ahead was a well-respected quality. There never was anything wrong with the desire to move up from boiler room to executive suite . . . from push-broom and dust-pan to ulcers and eight aspirin a day. But out on the concrete strips, the desire to get ahead is a horse of a diffei ent hue. Someone once summed it up in a nutshell: "If all the cars in the world were put end to end, 98 per cent' of the drivers would immediately pull out of line to pass the guy ahead." You've seen this kind of insanity time and again -- especially in a long, tight traffic line. If a certain, wild-eyed type of chiaracter is gnashing his gears behind you, the gap aJhead of your front bumper is bait he can't resist. There's space ahead, and he's got to grab it! He roars around like a Cherokee Strip homesteader and knifes in ahead of you . . . and miles on down the road he's probably still there smack in front of you, frothing and frustrated -- and it'd take an Olympic stopwatch to clock the time he saved by passing you! And if you think this is exaggerated, a leading insurance company comes up with this report: Two cars were driven the same 300 miles of highway in a special test. One car, driven at a top speeti of 65 mph, averaged 46 mph and passed 126 other cars. The other travelled at a 50 mph top speed, averaged 43 mph, and passed only 62 cars. The speedster made the trip in 6 hours and 25 minutes; the easy-going one made it ^in 6 •hours and 50 minutes. So -- 11 per cent more gas, 50 per cent more oil, and yrtio knows how much more risk ... all for 25 measly minutes! In life, it's fine to want to move on up. But on the roaki, let's forget the desire to get ahead; let's make it our number one desire to get there. By leaving out the unholy rush, we're much more likely to travel a full lifetime . . . and we'll make it with much less wear, tear and swear! GARDEN CLUB MAKES PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR SUMMER SHOW The McHenry Garden club met on Monday, Feb. 21, at the home ol; Mis. Marshall 'Leonard on Bay View Lane. Green blades of grass peaking through the snow and buds just beginning to swell on brown twigs were enough to stimulate all of the members into remarkable plans for this year's activities. Mrs. George Stilling, president of the club, reported that she had obtained permission- for use of the American Legion home for the 1955 flower show on Aug. 5. Mrs. N, J. Hill, chairman of the show, then presented a comprehensive plan for discussion by the members. The result was; an unusually complete schedule. There will be ample space for adequately displaying to best advantage the many exhibits which are expected. It is felt that all of the little inconveniences which inevitably creep into such a large undertaking of this type will be eliminated this year. Mrs. Albert Barbian prystallized > her plans for the June luncheon to be held to raise funds for the shpw. A special treat at the meeting was a reading by SMrs. Harry Stinespring, Jr., entitled "Love." Home-made cake and coffee were served by Mrs. Leonard at the close of the meeting.

CIRCULATION CAUSED 53.972 'S3 DEATHS ; A total of 55.7 per cent of the deaths : in Illinois were caused by diseases of the heart and circulation during the calendar year 1953. These^ statistics, compiled by the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the Illinois Department of Public Health, were described by Dr. James A. Walsh, president of the Illinois Heart association as "dramatic and convincing proof that diseases of the he&rt and blood vessels constitute our number one health problem." The leading causes of death in Illinois for 1953 were: Diseases of the heart; and blood vessels, (53,972); cancer, (15,174); accidents, (5,375),; pneumonia, (3,- 116); diabetes, (1,520); and tuberculosis (1,266).

" How many persons in Illinois are now suffering from diseases of tlhe heart and circulation? No authentic and accurate figures are availalble, Dr. Walsh explained. However, he pointed out that national authorities say that approximately one out of every sixteen living Americans suffer from a cardiovascular disease. Applying the one-in-sixteen formula to the estimated population of the ^.fea covered by the Illinois Heart association (3,- that about 247304 persons have some form of cardiovaacu*- lar disease. Dr. Walsh pointed out that the Illinois Heart asso* elation and the American: ' Meft|| association, with whicih it is affiliated, are attacking |pne problem through three principal weapons -- scientific research, professional and public education and community heart programs. A major portion of all fimds subscribed in the 1955 cunpaign, he emphasized," will be used to underwrite the costs of local and state programs, with the remainder going to the American Heart association for its research and »> 964,864), we can safely assume nation-wide educational program.
