ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, JUNE, 18. 1959 20 Pages -- 10c Per Copy COUNTRY ART FAIR OPENS FRIDAY [ft Stfl' and . Meanderim If members of McHenry's Rotary club failed to experience a warm inner glow last Thursday evening, we are ra#hty surprised. ^ The club was host to members of the Woodstock Children's home that day on an outing which included a long boat ride up the river, a picnic lunch with all the trimmings, and an hour of bowling. The sparkle in the chilcfren's eyes and the smile on their faces were enough thanks for anyone. But it wasn't enough foW these grateful youngsters who have been taught what more fortunate children many times never learn--sincere appreciation and enthusiasm. It was a heartwarming experience for Rotary members to hear these young people describe "the most fun they ever had". C7ie rather small youngster gummed it all up briefly during" a short Rotary meeting at lunch time. Asked if anyone had anything to bring up, the lad arose and said in a loud voice "Thanks" and immediately sat down. That one word expressed a heart filled with gratitude, representing a group of youngsters who have not always had the reason the rest ^ us have had to be grate- We are most pleased to learn that McHenry's Legion auxiliary has won first prize in the state for its book on news coverage of organization events over the past year. Mary Einspar deserves credit for the many articles appearing in the Plaindealer, which . r e l- a rgely responsi.bl.e . f.or ©rating. We feel fortunate to have been able to attend the revue of a Broadway musical comedy hit presented by Ann Varese last Saturday evening in the high school auditorium. Sponsor of the talented local dramatist was the McHenry Woman's club, whose worthv $le activities will benefit from proceeds. We were mighty happy to have Supt. C. H. Duker return to McHenry after his first year of college teaching in Louisiana. The feeling was much the same on his part as he returned to a home town he adopted more than thirty years ago. Wr. Duker plans to return to the same college next fall, if he can become accustomed to the heat and humidity of the southern state. His description of late spring and early fall weather tends to make us stop complaining about the "discomfort readings" in the Chicago area. Next Sunday. June 21, is ajjlin Ihe time when that grand old fellow who is many times neglected 364 days of the year will strut his stuff and be recognized as the "big shot" he most certainly is. The observance of Father's Day each year is sparked by its sponsor, the National Father's Day committee, which reminds us that grandfathers jjf also included in this , day or celebration for the male head of the house. On the lighter side, the committee suggests a hearty meal with all the trimmings, keeping in mind that the road to a man's heart is through his stomach. E£tt heartily, pop, but keep the baking soda handy "just in case". While tribute is being paid ti%dad, he is reminded of his r sponsibilities in the theme for this year's observance of Father's day: "Juvenile Integrity Starts in the Home", followed by a table of Ten Commandments for father's guidance drawn up by the national committee. SEEK PRINCESS TITLE ! YOUTH ON BIKE STRUCK BY CAR; ESCAPES UNHURT These three attractive young ladies are among leading candidates for the title of McHenry County Dairy Princess. They are, left to right, Carol Weingart, Joan Blake and Donna Mae King. The winner will be crowned at a banquet to be held in Woodstock on June 25. SELECT DAIRY PRINCESS FOR The Commandments are pretty much the kind you might expect a good dad to follow, digI one more was added by. the committee which they and maybe you--feel most important of all. It reads: "I shall teach my child a knowledge of God, and of His book -- the Holy Bible". K. A. F. COUNTY JUNE 25 McHenry Has Three Entries In Competition Remembering the tremendous enthusiasm which followed the selection of Miss Mary Ann Granger of McHenry as county and state Dairy Princess last year, local residents are eagerly awaiting the banquet in Woodstock on June 25, at which time three McHenry giris will be competing for the 1959 title. Local entries are Joan Blake, Carol Weingart and Donna Mae King. Joan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Blake, is 17 years old and is sponsored in the contest by Art Smith Gn> cery.

The ten candidates are all daughters of dairy farmers in the McHenry area. VFW BURGLARY jONE OF THREE j WITHIN COUNTY I Three burglaries in McHenry county were disclosed by authorities during the past week. Locally, burglars broke into the V.F.W. clubhouse sometime Sunday night or early- Monday morning, taking about $18 in money and three cartons of cigarettes. A new burglar alarm system is believed to have frightened the intruders and prevented them from taking more. Loss in a burglary at Bob's Tap on Highway 12. Spring Grove, operated by Robert Garner, was estimated at close to S100. The third burglary was at Crystal Lake, where a man registered at the Crystal Lake motel was reported to have taken furniture, bedding and a TV set from his room. Also taken were clothing and other items from another room. URGE ENTRIES .

The lad was riding his bike on the sidewalk about 7:45 o'clock, enroute to the Junior high school, where he was taking summer school classes.

I In doing so. the machine I veered to the right and one i wheel struck the bike, j John escaped with minor injuries when he jumped from the vehicle.
