Mr Bacon also announced that " the charter is being held open. until April 25 in' order to give <'?ihiore veterans the opportunity *' to join the McHenry barracks th:s veterans' group as charter members. The number of men attending the meetings has almost tripled since the first meeting ihere in McHenry about two months ago. , All veterans of World War I ?from McHenry and vicinity are invited to attend the April 25 • meeting. This is a fine way to get acquainted with contemporaries of World War I and discuss mutual problems. HEBE AND THERE IN BUSINESS Two residents of the McHenry area were among 218 Shell Oil company, Chicago division, employees who refceived safe driving awards v recently. They were R. L. Conroyd of Rt 4 and J. E. Ritter of Orchard Beach. (ADVERTISEMENT) CURRENT EVENTS t«EWS STORY "SONG OF BERNADETTE" OBITUARY Frank J. Frank J. May, 71, one of the Spring Grove community's most respected residents, died Sunday, April 14, in thfe Villa Rest home at Pistakee Bay after an illness of four years. The deceased was born Sept. 2, 1886, in Johnsburg and had spent his life in the Johnsburg- Spring Grove area. Mr. May was a retired cement contractor. He had been a member of the Burton Township board of supervisors for thirty years and for a number if years served as Spring drove trustee. He was a member of St. Peter's Catholic church and he Holy Name society. Survivors iriclude the widow, Mathilda Kattner May; three sons, Arnold and Frank, both of Richmond, and Eugene of Spring Grove; a daughter, Mrs. Lorraine Freund, .of Johnsburg; two sisters, Mrs. Mary Freund and Mrs. Emma Her- ^ott, both of Troy, Wis.; and en grandchildren. The body rested at the Peter \I. Justen & Son funeral home until Wednesday morning, when services were held at 10 o'clock from St. Peter's church. Interment was in the church cemetery. In commemoration of the Miracle of Loudres, which thif year celebrates its 100th anniversary, Twentieth Century Fox will present one of itsclassic ' screen achievements •"The Song . of Bernadette," ^which traces the events of that day in 1858 when a vision came to a young French peasant girl. The film" opens April 26th at the McHenry Theatre Screen fans will remember this film version of F r an z Werfel's memorable novel for several reasons. Foremost per h a p s i s t h e A c a d e m y A w a r d - winning performance of Jennifer Jones as Bernadette Sou birous. It was this motion picture which marked the actress* film debut, and no performer could possibly havemade it a more auspicious one The star of DavidO. Selznick'- current "A Farewell to Arms" made a world sit up and take notice of her sensitive, moving portrayal of the title character who. saw a vision in a grotto of the now famous shrine in LourdeS. How this experience affected the people of France, and its deep meaning to the girl herself makes this one of jthe best-remembered motion pictures of all time, and certainly deserving of the five Academy Awards it won. Perry Short Perry A. Short of Chicago, husband of Elsie Schneider Short, formerly of McHenry, lied at his heme Sunday morning, April 13. For a number of vears he was a lumber salesman in this county and was well known to many.

Hospital Auxiliary A delightful evening event coming up is the production of "Summertime," a style show to be preceded by a smorgasbord at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 8, at the Wing and Fin lodge. Fashions featured will be for women and men. Natlbnal "Hospital Week" will be observed the week of May 12. To stress its importance, the auxiliary will hold its semi-annual meeting on Tuesday, May 13. 8 p.m. at the Community Methodist church. Dr. Paloucek of the McHenry Medical Group will speak on the subject "Menopause - Fact or Fancy." The public is invited to attend this meeting and we especially wish to in-i vite those women who would like to perform volunteer service in the auxiliary. You may still send your two dollar dues to our membership chairman, Mrs. J J Buch, 304 Maple avenue, McHenry. Chairman of the bake guild, Blanche Green, has announced that bake sales will be held at the Pink Lady Shoppe on the first Saturday of each month. The last bake salt turned out well and the cboperation of the members is appreciated. A note of encouragement is the fact that Miss Barbara Egbert, who was awarded the first scholarship from the auxiliary, was capped on April 11 at Wesley Memorial hospital in Chicago: PUBLIC PULSE v ."a/:"..," Recall Primary Contort Gentlemen: ^ J In the McHenry Plaindealer issue of Thursday, April 3, an advertisement sponsored by Friends of Better Government was"" printed, advising your readers that in the event the present state's attorney were nominated for, and eventually elected, in November as county judge, it would be necessary to hold a special primary and a special runoff election to fill the vacancy created in the office of state's attorney. The advertisement stated that these two special elections would cost the county an estimated $30,000. To contradict the effects of this publicity, a circular was widely distributed throughout McHenry county by "Lawyer Friends of Don A. Wicks for County Judge", advising the readers to avoid being misled by political propaganda and stating "A Specifil Election is not Required" in the event Mr. Wicks would be nominated arid elected as Republican candidate for county judge. The circular quoted a portion of the Illinois Revised Statutes which provides that a competent attorney shall be appointed to act as state's attorney "during the period between the time of the qccurence .of such vacancy and the election." The circular did not quote the law on the -subject which provides as follows: ' "When a vacancy Sshall occur in the office *if State's Attorney within one year before the expiration of the term of such vacant office, - the vacancy shall be filled by appointment, ,by the county board of the county in which the vacancy exists, | but if suck unexpired term exceeds one year, the county clerk, shall issue an order appointing a day for an elecand cause notice thereof t.o^ be given as in otker cases of election" (Chapter 46, Section 25-11). In other words, the vacancy may be filled by appointment only if the vacancy created is one year or less. The vacancy here would have been for more than one year, and, therefore, would have necessitated the two special elections mentioned above. The advertisement which appeared the. Plaindealer , lied upon vth<» law of Illinois as set forth in the statutes and the opinion of the Attoriiey General 0f the state of Illinois. The advertisement was not a misstatement or "propaganda" and was certainly not a halftruth, su<^,ds, was set forth in the circular,. We believe it is important that trie' Voters of the county know that'; the advertisement sponsored by Friends of Better Government contained the true interpretation of the law and. was not basedy on half truths and misstatements. JOHN LOOZE knowledge is something still to be sought for and then we shall truly have a successful election. Thanks should go to the League of Women Voters, the Community P.T.A. and the "McHenry PlaindeaTer for their help and co-operation. . Ilavern Gregory The School Election With Jtich a tremendous crowd out for the school board election, I suppose itgpould be considered a huge success. I can not help but feel that this ;s not! entirely true, when only thirty or forty people attended the candidates' meeting held before the election. It is only in a small comunity, such as McHenry, that the public; has the opportunity to become acquainted with the candidates and to determine For themselves the qualifications, ideas and personality of each. After being a part of this, a voter becomes informed and does pot vote from hearsay only.f Some of us feel this voter's When you contemplate the sun and its vastness, your ego assumes the proprositions of f minute organism in a test tube.
