To think that an American president, a man so young and promising, could be shot down in these United States by one of his own countrymen is almost too much to believe. "Some would suggest that though this act is horrible and unjust we should accept it as a part of history and shruging it off, so to speak, with a "that's life" attitude move forward on our path to world freedom. They would have us grieve over the President's death and sympathize with his surviving family but not mourn him for many days. They would have us believe that President Kennedy would not want us to check the nation's progress while we mourn him; rather, that he would have us move forward to a better United States in a better world. These people expressed true sorrow and shodk over the days of mourning but ;ome Tuesday following the ragedy they returned to work vith little sign of remorse. These people are moving too fast. We cannot abruptly end four days of mourning by resuming our normal activities before we have even recovered from our shock. "I do not believe that these people, or any of us, ever felt the real horror in the tragedy. Though we can fully realize what has happened only by experiencing some sort of direct physical contact, as the people lining the streets of Dallas did, we can approach that realization by meditating on each event and concentrating on each individual action that was involved in the death of the President. And I do not believe that Mr. Kennedy would not have us mourn him for many days; but I think that he HONORED BY COMPANY John Henry Pugh of 213 W. Emerald drive, McHenry, was among 1,011 employees of the* Peoples Gas Light and Coke company who were honored at the sixteenth annual Quarter Century club dinner Tuesday, Dec. 3, in the Pick-Congress hotel. The club is comprised of employees with twenty-five or more years of service with the company. COURT BRIEFS Justice Court In the court of Justice of the Peace Charles M. Adams last week, James Gentile of Island Lake was fined $30 for carrying an uncased gun in his auto. A $30 fine was imposed on Harold Whittaker of Northbrook for hunting wild game without permission of the property owner. Robert Helt of Northbrook received the same fine for that offense also. James A. Wautelet of 5103 Hilltop drive, McHenry, had a $10 fine imposed for illegal passing. (Continued From Page 1) thevfew ailments Edwin Warner Owen ever had. There was a time twenty years ago, when he was 80, that he was feeling depressed about growing old. Then he had an accident and lost some blood, after which he felt fine again. When he was about 95, he had a little trouble with arthritis. Then he fell from a swing in the back yard of his daughter's homo and the arthritis went away. The doctor speculated that a top of a knob on a bone had been chipped, apparently relieving the arthritic pain. So it is in good health that he celebrates his 102nd birthday. He wears glasses, but they haven't been changed in twelve years, and he uses a hearing aid, but seems to consider "tuning in" a nuisance. Mr. Owen eats well, reads a ^reat deal and plays bridge often. Mr. Owen is one of the city's few links with the McHenry of more than a century ago. Congratulations are extended to him on the occasion or his 102nd birthday. 0S1HITA L Pag# FIt#; Mrs. Leslie Olsen, Jr., of Crystal Lake, who has been undergoing treatment at Memorial hospital, Woodstock, is now a patient in room 1293, Wesley Memorial hospital, Chicago, where she was taken before Thanksgiving and underwent surgery Tuesday.

HUSKIE PUT TO SLEEP The Huskie dog which mauled the four-month-old Henderson baby in Woodstock on Nov. 18, has been put to sleep by a veterinarian. Requests by persons wishing to take the dog were denied. RABBIT DAMAGE « Millions of dollars in damages caused by hordes of hungry rabbits which feed upon ornamental plants and fruit trees is the possibility this winter, according to William T. Larkin, superintendent of the Illinois Department of Agriculture's Division of Plant Industry. The first sign that rabbits are feeding on plants and trees is indicated by evidence of cut twigs and injured bark, Larkin said. He pointed out that in many cases complete girdling of trees will occur, and that plants and trees so girdled will die unless they are "bridge grafted," an operation which is usually loo involved for the average layman to perform. The Department of Agriculture advises the use of "rabbit repellents" or hardware cloth or meshed wire netting placed around the trunks of trees or si i • . $ g Ready Made Full Fashioned i Fiberglass Draperies | To Enhance the Beauty of your Home H In stock so you may have them for Xmas 8 8 fi J S « 8 8 i u t 54" Pleated Tops x 90" Long 48" Pleated Tops x 63" Long 48' Pleated Tops x 45" Long Prints -- Textures -- Solids Also Washable Acetate Draperies $1095 $6« $595 Make Ideai 'CHRISTMAS GIFTS Electric Birch Logs -- Bellows Fire Color Cones -- Log Carriers Hearth Brooms -- Firesets J4c avemeuer 3 1008 E.
