Interest evidence early this week indicated this may be among the most successful ever held. Don Peasley Photo An overflow crowd of 1,500 saw the Miss McHenry County pageant at the opening night of the McHenry County Fair last week. Crowned Miss McHenry County, 1963, from a group of ten contestants, was Miss Shirley Sill, Marengo. Gail Marquart of McHenry, retiring queen, crowncd Miss Sill.

Shirley, who captured the coveted beauty title from a field of nine other outstanding candidates, earned the honor with her beauty, plus confidence and self assurance that comes from good training and self-discipline. Five blondes were selected by the judges for the finals. Leslie Gieseke, Crystal Lake, earned second, and Cheryl Noe, Harvard, ranked third. Shirley will attend the Illinois State Fair next week. At the McHenry fair, she visited many exhibits, helped with presentations, posed for innumerable photos, flashed a continuing smile at fair guests and presided in a royal way over the successful county fai> Attendance at the beauty pageant, staged under the direction of Miss Patricia Hogan, chairman, was at an alltime, turn-away high. Police filled all standing room, then had to turn guests away at the grandstand gate for safety reasons. More than 1,500 saw the beauty pageant alone. Shiiiey earlier captured the title of Harvard Milk Day queen, the second Harvard Milk Day queen to become Miss McHenry County. Patricia McFarland performed the same feat in 1952. Two earlier candidates from Marengo won the Miss McHenry County title, Carol Buethe, 1950, and Allison Pringle, 1951. The new Miss McHenry County is 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weighs 110 pounds, and measures 33-23-35. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and lives with her grandmother, Mrs. Belle Shearer. She was sponsored in the contest by the Marengo VFW and VFW auxiliary. Miss Sill will be a senior at Marengo high school this fall.

Judging of the little Miss Peanut Queen will be held at the McHenry Legion home at 8:30 p.m. sharp on Aug. 13. The public is invited to attend at no charge. Points for the judges to consider are poise, personality and pertness. There is no need for special talent. The winner will go to the division contest to compete, and that winner will advance to Chicago for the finals in the state contest. The queen will meet the mayor, businessmen and chairmen of the area to promote the Klwanis Peanut Day sale Sept. 27 and 28 to raise funds for McHenry's underprivileged children and youth of the community. The Kiwanis c'ib uses the funds for the crippled children's camp, Club After-Glo, all-sports banquet, medical care to needy children, boy scouts, high school scholarships, merit awards to boy and girl from local grade schools, hot lunch programs for needy children, mental health center, Woodstock children's home, the Viscounts and Explorer Scouts.

Discuss Decorating A discussion took place on holiday street decorations, and a number of new ideas were set forth to augment the present decorating scheme. If the Chamber is unable to carry out their program this year, it will certainly be put in effect in 1964. The annual budget for holiday decorations is $1,500. A promotion idea similar to that of last year also came up Musint & Meanderin' (Continued From Page 1) phone calls and using profane language.

McHenry's new tennis courts in the city park have been drawing large numbers of interested children and adults. After being without courts tor six years, one would have expected that it would take a season or two to renew interest in the game, but seemingly out of nowhere, racquets appeared in quantity, along with their young users. It is evident even at this point that two courts will not satisfy the needs of the many who have shown a real interest in the game. From experience in other county cities, there is a decided advantage in having courts in one location, but whether this is possible here is a decision for our city fathers. The local park is not large, and with a growing population, its use becomes greater each summer. Courts take room, and there will certainly be some reluctance in taking more space in this choicely wooded area for additional tennis facilities. Another year should bring some type of instruction for these budding athletes, many of whom had never before seen a game played. Court rules are also a necessity if there is to be real enjoyment. The city has made a good start in providing courts after an absence of too many years, during which county play transferred from its center of activity in McHenry to neighboring Crystal Lake. That city has produced some very fine young players in the last few years who have been making a name for themselves in Chicagoland tournaments. If the initial interest continues, McHenry may regain its place as tennis "Capital" before too long. Someone to the northeast evidently saved a nice supply of choice fireworks and selected one evening last week to display them. Riding atop the hill south of McHenry, the sky far to the north took on the brilliance of July Fourth itself and provided a treat as we reluctantly enter the last month of summer. Gelvin.

Last week Wednesday evening, Mrs. Dale Houghton of 1414 N. Freund avenue left some articles of attire on her clothes line, along with the entire wash of a friend, Carolee Prat her, of 906 Totem Trail, Oakhurst subdivision, Thursday morning found every piece gone. More than a few people learned with regret the decision of Lester "Doc" Edinger to retire from the office of circuit clerk on Sept. 1. Ever since we have been with the newspaper and more closely associated with news of the court house, we have heard folks refer to "Doc" Edinger as a of legend. He had been a county official for thirty-eight years, and there is little doubt that a more popular one has never held office. We couldn't have been more pleased than to learn that Miss Margaret O'Neil, an employee in his office since 1938, will take over his duties until the next election. Many times in recent years we have called on Miss O'Neil for information and assistance, and found her most cooperative. DATES SET FOR PHYSICAL EXAMS IN CITY SCHOOLS Physical examinations for all boys participating in the athletic program for McHenry Community high school Will be conducted Friday, Aug. 16, in the boys gymnasium. Senior and junior boys are to report at 8 a.m. and sophomore and freshmen boys are to report at 9:30. A charge of one dollar is being made for each examination. F -eshman girls' physical examinations will be conducted Monday, Aug. 26 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Freshmen boys' physical examinations will be conducied Tuesday, Aug. 27 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. These also will be performed in the gymnasium at no charge. Any boy or girl entering McHenry Community hlgK school on Sept. 3 as a freshman who does not participate in this free physical examination clinic, must have it performed by his family physician on or before entering school. Fifth grade physical examinations for all fifth grade students in the McHenry public and parochial schools will be conducted Monday, Sept. 9, at Landmark school. A reminder is given parents of children registered for kindergarten that they must submit the physical and dental examinations completed by their family physician on or before Aug. 15 in order to complete all classroom placements. Du? to the extremely large enrollment of children entering kindergarten, parents are urged to cooperate with assignments of their children in either the morning or afternoon session. At the present time all classes are filled to capacity, therefore your fine cooperation is urgently needed. The Health department of the McHenry public schools with Mrs. Pauline Pries, CPHN., and Mrs. Irma Rockstead, R.N., school nurses, will assist physicians from McHenry in conducting both the athletic, freshman and fifth grade clinics.

Doherty will be present to say a few words at the close of a most successful year. The band has chosefi to play some of the selections which have highlighted the past season. Among them wiH be "Tonight" from "WeSt Side Story," the theme from "Cavalcade of Sports," "St. l<ouis Blues" and "Love Is A Many Splendoured Thing." LONG CAREER OP CIRCUIT CLERK ENDS SEPT. 1 Circuit Clerk Lestetf Edinger this past week announced his intention to resign from that office, effective Sept. 1. His retirement comes after thirtyeight years as a McHenry county official. Judge William M. Carroll, in accepting the resignation, said he was appointing Miss Margaret O'Neil of Harvard as clerk pro tem of the Circuit court. She has been a deputy clerk in the office since 1938. Mr. Edinger's first official duties in the county came in 1922, when he was elected sheriff, serving one term. Sometime later he served as county treasurer and then became sheriff, serving a term until 1942, when he became circuit clerk and recofdfer of deeds.

Tom Huemann, class president, presided over the festivities. Zip Code Has Rival Problem In Claims Number Oi Veteran The new Zip code numbers instituted by the Post Office system are now more than a month old, and the response of the public locally is said to have been most encouraging. A veteran's problem, we are told, is even greater. Along with these new codes and seven-digit telephone numbers, every veteran has a "C" or claims number. If the special codes are important to the average civilian, how much more so for the vet. The Veterans administration Chicago regional office index system contains the names of more than 1,125,000 veterans. There are 12,400 Johnsons with 625 having the first name of Robert. There are 8,300 Smiths, and if you think John is the most common Smith, guess again. There are only 315 Johns against 480 Robert Smiths. The business of assigning a "C" number isn't as easy as it sounds. One of the toughest names to index and be sure the veteran isn't being given a second "C" number is that of Willie Williams. In Illinois there are all kinds of William, Bill and Will, but 360 of them simply sign themselves as Willie Williams. Most troubles could be solved, the VA tells us, if the veteran would just keep his "C" number handy and use it when writing or telephoning. 'That way he's not 360 other fellows named William Johnson or 625 Robert Johnsons.
