With removal of tho Immediate ratine of irritation, gfiere might well be a tendency ll» relax and dn>p any project Which would permanently solve fte problem. Seven year* _ have passed since McHenry residents were introduced to an art showing In their midst." During that time, the Country Art Fair has grown until today it is the largest exhibit of original painting and sculpture in this part * 6t the state. Each year finds innovations of interest to more a«?d more TfHoplc, antf the crowds continue to grow in number and in ^enthusiasm. A children's show has long -been a popular feature of the 3fair, but the 1963 show will •present the first judged exhibit of work by high school .students. A loan exhibit from -the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults will present exceptionally fine work t>y handicapped children. I McHenry's Jaycees have .entfifired Into the spirit of the fair "this year by volunteering to l>ring residents of Hartland's Valley Hi home, the Woodstock Bfisidence and the Villa Nursing home who are able, to the Junior high school to see the exhibit • Jack Rasmussen, who is chairman of the project, said they expect about thirty to 'forty men and women to take advantage of the offer to attend. Wives of Jaycee members iivill escort them through the •how, and they will also be fccompanied by _ two registered nurses. , * , dal to the groom, symbolizing a transfer of authority. If we can guess correctly, the smart young lady then, as now, had a gleam in her eye, knowing full well that whatever the custom meant, in theory, hers would be the authority in fact. Orpnge blossoms, and throwing of rice, carry the same wish, that the wedded couple will be blessed with children. Realizing the enthusiastic "push" extended by some mothers, in marrying off their daughters, it seems reasonable these same mothers who enthusiastically "throw" with the crowd fee) that they have been blessed long enough. The centuries-old French custom of throwing the bride's garter, to be caught by the next bride, has become somewhat subdued through the years. Today it's a bouquet, but the bridesmaids still scramble to make the catch. Poor Para pays in India, probably more than anywhere else in the world for daughter's wedding. Celebrations there are so elaborate that the expense of the affair, and of the bride's dowry, is said to often times drive father to the money-lender. Enough said! Many American fathers, in this month of June, can testify that this turn of events is not exclusive with India. CROWN NEW DAIRY PRINCESS NEXT THURSDAY Of interest locally is the bill introduced in the state General Assembly, appropriating money for work on nearby Lake Defiance, southeast" of McHenryin Nunda township. The bill calls for appropriation of $23,000 to the Department of Public . Works for dredging an outlet channel for the lake. Radio and television commercials advertising lines of business associated with death are, not numerous. Consequently, it was a real shock to sit in a doctor's waiting room and hear a lengthy,discourse, via radio, on the merits of cremation. Fortunately, we're not easily discourage^! K.A.F. * "It pays to advertise." That's what George Wirfs of McHenry and Florida said when he walked into the Plaindealer office Tuesday afternoon.

The previous day another local resident made mention of the fact that she had received many calls on horses for sale, and they were soon gone. „ This column is not intended for advertisement of Our own products, but we do like to let others know of a service that might also benefit them. - During this year of 1963, one and a half million weddings will take place, and by far, June will be the most popular month for the altar-bound. For those who have yet to say their, "I do," a briefing on wedding customs may be in order. The popularity of the month fdr marriages IS believed to have resulted from convenience more than anything else. In the early days it was no small task to push through snow banks in wintep -- without behefit of" plows to attend the ceremony, While spring and ffl^l brought their duties of planting and harvesting. One interesting custom dates back to ancient Egypt and the throwing of old shoes or tieing them to the bridal car.
