Those unsurpassed hosts, the Illinois Gas company, entertained members of tho Plainlealer staff, along with press members from other areas in this part of the slate last Thursday evening at a most enjoyable dinner at Dundee. A delicious repast was followed by a short program during which President Marvin Chandler of the company outlined briefly some facts of coneral interest to everyone regarding progress a|id growth of his business. It was especially interesting to see the wee smile which crept across his face as he recalled the peak load reached last Jan. 23, the coldest day in several ye?rs, while his audience winced at t he memory. Mr. Chandler possesses a keen sense of humor whxli adds a sparkle, even to Ftatistics. He is fully aware of the "dosage" of such statistics which is absorbed with interest by his audience and prefers not to "over-prescribe." It is difficult to follow a delicious meal with statistics, but Mr. Chandler never fails to do a really top rate job.

"So I Hear" took part of a day off Tuesday to celebrate his silver wedding anniversary. The sly sports editor didn't disclose all of his plans for a second "honeymoon," but we understand he took his bride of twenty-five years north into Wisconsin for the day. Among the fundamentals of driver training instruction, we've been told, is to check the gas tank before starting out. We also learned this week that one of the local instructors suffered the blush of embarrassment when he forgot to "practice what he preached" last weekend and ran out of gas on the Crystal Lake blacktop. To make mattefrs worse, the farm at which he sought help was the home of one of his students. wail, arrived this week Ken Boley, an old time Henry resident. On it he speak"? of being "forced"' to come to Hawaii just in time for the arrival of Mayor Doherty for the Mayors' conference which President Kennedy addressed. Now we're sure we saw the McHenry mayor at the George' Sullivan tribute last Saturday night. Well that was a pretty fine affair too, even though he missed the trip to our new state. «! RIVERSIDE DRIVE PROJECT We are grateful to John F. Reter of Gurnee, 111., for supplying the name of the man who saved the youngster from drowning in the Fox river last week. He is Robert C. Sachs, a former Lake county deputy sheriff who is now making his home in McHenry. Some fortunate mother should be grateful to learn the identity. Thursday should mark the end of a long, 114.8 mile hiking trip for sixteen Scouts and four adult leaders in the Lakeland Park arta. They left last Saturday morning for Starved Rock, and were due to arrive sometime late Thursday afternoon. Seldom have we beeen present at a more heartwarming event as that which honored Ed it or George Sullivan of the Woodstock Sentinel last Saturday evening. The accolades--through telegrams, letters and in person - came so quickly, and were so numerous that it was impossible to remember them all. Of one thing we were sure, thej were a sincere tribute to a man who forgot the clock and his own personal life to cover the news for the past fortytwo years. Much has been said about George, and we know him well enough to be sure that every word was deserved. He accepted a wonderful tribute in the way we expected--with a genuine humbleness which has always characterized this beloved writer. Our hope is that George may remain long at a post he has filled so well. A very special part of the ceremonies for McHenry folks was the appearance of the Viscounts drum and bugle corps in the parade preceding Saturday's dinner. Just a few of the honors bestowed on George included presentation of an engraved gold watch for his selection as Lions club "citizen of the year." Also, a plaque will be placed on a large rock in George Sullivan field, commemorating, tl)f occasion. A diamond tie cnasp and cuff links engraved with the seal of the city of Woodstock was the gift of the Woodstock Daily Sentinel, for Which he works, and the county press presented him with a radio. Plaques were given to him by the county coaches, from the Little League and from Marian Central high school. He also received a life membership in the Woodstock Country club.
