Qreen St. McHenry FAIR BEAUTY QUE Even at this early date, plans are in the making for an event patterned after last year's crowd pleasing McHenry comity fair beauty contest. A beautiful young woman will be chosen to reign over the 1965 fair on the night of Aug. 6. Miss Patricia Hogan, chairman of the 1963 Miss McHenry County contest, today announced plans for the 1964 competition and issued an invitation to civic organizations to sponsor a local contest to choose candidates. Miss McHenry County, 1964, will receive many prizes, have the right to vie for the Miss Illinois County Fair crown and reign throughout the fair Aug. 6 to 9. " b Miss Hogan said she is sending letters" this week to sponsors which cooperated with local contests last year, since those cooperators have first choice as a local sponsor. Only one candidate may be chosen from a community, so that villages, towns and cities must coordinate their contests under one sponsoring organization. This year's winner will be the successor to Miss Shirley Sill, Marengo beauty who represented McHenry county very well at the state competition last month. Miss Hogan saic7. the deadline for entries in the county contest will be June 30. That deadline will enable the fair association to give local winners more recognition and to acknowledge the help of local sponsors. Reports On Rules Don Hansen, newly-elected president of the McHenry County Fair association, reported rules for the 1964 contest will follow those adapted for last year's competition. Hansen attended the state finals ^nd learned more details on what assets judges look for. "This is a beauty contest but personality is important, too. "The well-rounded beauty queen must be able to appear glamorous for photographers and for television. She must be able to banter with reporters and make talks before audiences," Hansen explained. Girls must be between 16 and 22 (16 by Aug. 1 and not over 22 by Jan. 15, 1965) when the state meet is slated. Candidates must be single and never married and a resident of McHenry county. Detailed rules are available from the 1963 sponsors listed below, or from Miss Hogan, 6606 Barnard Mill Road, Wonder Lake. Last year's sponsors included the Wonder Lake Volunteer Fire department and the McHenry VFW Auxilliary. Young women wishing to enter the Miss McHenry County, 1964 contest should contact their local organization which sponsored last year's contest. Maria' ft Meanderin' (Continued From Page 1) who only shared a small part of their sorrow. An inspirational poem of tribute written by a father for his daughter, transmitted to his listeners the hope and confidence which separates the believer from those with little faith. 'k Thus a tragedy took on an entirely new meaning as the story of one family's faith reached into the hearts of others. Each recent week has seen the passing of long time residents of McHenry who have contributed in many w,ays to the day-by-day history of our community. Their deaths leave a particular'Void not only within families but in the neighborhoods and organizations in which they were active. This week' the loss of Valeska Hoppe and Elizabeth Williams are particularly noted with a keen sense of loss, for both had acquired the friendship and respect of many during their years spent here. Living seems to become more complicated all the time -- and we refer just to the every day, routine business from which none of us can escape. The latest is a bill before Congress to require the National Bureau of Standards to determine the desirability of adopting the metric system in place of the present varied weights and measurements. No doubt there is merit in the proposal, since we would then be employing a system now used throughout most of the world. The metric system is recognized as the internation system of weights and measures. It would mean that we would measure by grams, meters, kilometers and liters. We might feel we could eventually. master such a system if it weren't for the fact that we are still trying to remember all-digit phone numbers extending upward of eleven, plus the cumbersome zip code numbers on maiL These systems must have been designed for the very young, whose memories are better than oujp own and who possibly can Squeeze a little more time into studying each new procedure than we have been able to manage. Right now, as we sit in the midst of income tax figures, we refuse to take on another new system to complicate life.
