THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1963 24 PAGES -- 19c PER COPY - - Best In Show Last week we arrived! at press time in one of those most embarrassing predicaments of seven open columns and four* teen galleys of type to be used. There followed one hour of decision on how and where to cut, and what to omit. It reminded us of the story of the four-year-old who said to his father: "Isn't it funny that just enough news happens each week to fill up the newspaper?" It couldn't have been the son of a newspaperman. Anyone within shouting distance of an editor at deadline knows there's either (1) not enough news to fill up the paper or (2) not enough paper for all the news. These are the times that lead to ulcers which too often afflict those in the newspaper business. It reminds us of another quote we too often forget: "Ulcers are things you get from mountain-climbing over mole hills." Rudi J. Photo A1 Triebold of Fox River Grove stands beside his painting, "Untitled No. 2", which was judged best in show at the McHenry Country Art Fair held at the Junior high school last weekend. At right is Mrs. Mary Liebman, one of the fair committee chairmen. A new and improved system of mailing dispatch and delivery goes into effect July 1 in McHenry and throughout the nation, known as ZIP Code 60050 locally. Thus the post office follows the telephone company in a new program of numbers which is sure to provide additional work for the psychiatrists. We were just beginning to remember the area codes and phone prefix Evergreen when they asked us to adjust our thinking to three additional numbers to replace the names. Then someone added "1" to out of town calls (which we often forget) and we still have to stop and think whether to use "O" or "411" for additional information. Now we haye a pew postal number--60050--to remember on return addresses of all correspondence. In addition, codes from other areas should be noted from incoming mail. The five-cent stamp had already discouraged some folks anticipating their next holiday eurd list. This may be the clincher. It must be encouraging tot musicians in the McHenry stage band to find such renewed Interest in their organization. It would hardly be correct to say that this is a surprise, for Director Stan Vycital has surrounded himself with talent to match his own, and each week presents the type of music heard too seldom these days. It's true, this is not the traditional marching type band. Most of the numbers are either classified popular or show tunes, with an occasional change included for variety. The fact that this is what the listeners want is no secret -- they come in great numbers to enjoy some fine entertainment. Large bands of this type have given way, through the years, to small combos for dancing. We haven't seen any dancing in the street as yet, but the musicians say A few steps will give them assurance that this is what folks want to hear. Our only complaint was the fact that youngsters are doing what they have done for many years --- using the space In front of the band stand to play. A rope holds them back a distance from the band, but the noise and running is still diss tracting to those who come to hear the music. The park in large, and there is plenty of room to play. Possibly these little ones could be persuaded to perform for their own amusement rather for the crowd. We attended the class rc union of 1953 last Saturday evening, and thoroughly enjoy ed. seeing the changes in these young people ten years after their graduation. Not too many years ago it might have been quite noteworthy to come a couple hundred miles for such an event. This year of 1963, there was hardly a stir when it was announced that one member had travelled from as far as Germany. It was interesting to note the changes after ten years away from their alma mater. With the help of makeup, the girls could have persuaded anyone that they had just closed their books this June. Some of the young men admitted to anywhere from twenty-five to fifty pounds gained in the last decade; others, who were not quite so frank, could hardly fool their friends because of receding hairlines.
