The first, sent by William Burfeindt, publisher of the Woodstock Sentinel and former publisher of the Plaindealer, exp r e s s e d a m a z e m e n t t h a t w e were able, to begin working toward a career at the mere age of 10, a fact with which we have been attempting to amaze everyone for years. The other arrived from Ann Frisby. Our newspaper's "Personals" lady, who reminded us that it was an early association with her that evoked our first interest in the field of the printed word. It occurs to us as we recall the many kindnesses to have come our way in recent days, that we are privileged not so much to be starting our twentyfifth year, but more because of the corworker-friends who have made the time so pleasant. An e d i t o r o f t e n b e c o m e s b e t t e r known to many people than others who are contributing in equally important ways to each publication. Just this once we would like to mention them and express our appreciation. To Larry Lund, our publisher of four years, who has been largely responsible for making those same years the most pleasant of the twenty-five. To Bill Moore, with whom we have worked longest, a perpetually cheerful person whprfi we consider one of our favorite people. To Marie Yegge, our assistant editor, a close friend and the greatest help one could wish for. To Mary Miller, our bookkeeper, who has a knack for keeping the entire office tip-top. (We would consider Mary a very nice person even if she didn't make out the weekly checks). To Lee Hachmeister, who puts more youthful spirit into the office than we had ever imagined possible plus efficiency. To Eve Johnson, newest of out- front office employees. Whose combination of friendliness and dignity has won our admiration. To John Peppin, who recentl y s t e p p e d s u c c e s s f u l l y i n t o some big shoes as composing room foreman and has proved our cheerful helper each press time. To Jackie Guffey, A very special person and a very special linotype operator. To Dick Sagers, our new and efficient pressman, who has proved himself a very nice fellow to know in a very short time. To Ralph Frostman, a quiet young man with whom we have not become well acquainted in CLASSIFIEDS 1 BEDROOM home in good condition.

To Grace Meyer, who shares credit for efficiency along several lines, including her work with our micro-film files, compiling Twice Told Tales. At this point, with priceless memories, we hope to again become lost in the anonymity we think suitable for our role, devoting our time to the best possible recording of the happenings of others in the McHenry community. The many notes received from good friends will all be included in those special memories. There is no end to the information expected of our police officers. The desk man at the city hall received a call Tuesday morning from an unidentified and very excited lady living outside McHenry. Her query was what to do about a rabbit which had in some manner infiltrated her clothes dryer. She was referred to the sheriff's office, from where the case may even have gone to the county veterinarian. And some of the rest of us think we have problems. BINGWOOD MAN'S ART WORK PRAISED BY FRENCH CRITIC The very cool weather which greeted us the last of the week may have put an end to the mischief of the mosquito for 1965, but not before he left what must have added up to thousands of welts on various parts of the body in McHenry alone. Unusual weather prol o n g e d h i s s t a y w e l l i n t o September, along with that of an occasional June bug. They tell us skeeters live two to six weeks if they can avoid m e e t i n g t h e f a t e o f b e i n g swatted, gassed, fogged, sprayed, drowned in a bath of oil or any of the other ways man has devised to eliminate him. The hardy types even manage to fly as far as 15 miles from their hatching site, according to the experts. As we continue to soothe with lotion the last of its marks, it is interesting to note that these same experts came upon the idea to spray on the basis of its annoyance level, which is two bites in five minutes. And so we ibid farewell this year of 1965 to the small but wicked little pest we call the mosquito! WHILE you're sitting there reading classified ads, you could be cleaning your rugs.

SHOP IN McHENRY "THE COUPLE" James Pearson, Ringwood artist, has received notice in the Paris periodical "la revue moderne des arts et de la vie" in the form of a review by the critic, F. Tramier. In March, the editor of the publication saw some of Pearson's work in the twenty-first American Drawing Bienniel held at the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences, Norfolk, Va. and wrote to seek more information about the artist and photos of his work. Upon receipt of this information and that which had been secured in Norfolk, the critic, Tramier wrote of Pearson's work: "Along with a skill which we recognize in his painting, sculpture, ceramics, and drawing, Pearson passes for a mystic for whom forms express a certain mood or humor ... At the last showing at Norfolk, Pearson won a new success with a work called 'Owl' The article is illustrated with a photograph of a welded metal sculpture entitled, "The Couple". The piece is now owned by Dr. and Mrs. George Alvary of McHenry and was once judged the best of show at the McHenry Country Art Fair. About this piece of sculpture the article states: " 'The Couple' of Pearson poses for the viewer the model with his artificial and vain gestures, his gait, his bearing. The artist has chosen metal, endowed it with elegance and lightness and has done so in such a way that the material doesn't form an obstruction between the anecdote and the judgment." The Woodstock high school art instructor was also mentioned in a review in The Living Museum concerning his participation in the eighteenth North Mississippi Valley Artists Exhibition held at the Illinois State Museum. INITIAL PTA MEETING WILL WELCOME PUBLIC On Thursday, Oct. 7, the McHenry Community High School P.T.A. will be convened for the opening meeting of the 1965 school year, by its president, Mrs. Howard Weiss. A 7:15 P.M. board meeting will precede the 8:15 program in the high school cafeteria. The faculty of the high school has received invitations to the opening meeting, to permit the parents and teachers to become acquainted. This will provide an opportunity for parents to discuss points of interest with the faculty, and develop mutually compatible aims. C a r l B u c k n e r , S u p e r i n t e n dent of Schools has agreed to present plans and discuss facts concerning the high school bond issue, scheduled for voter" approval on Saturday, Oct. 30. A question and answer period will follow Mr. Buckner's address. Since the success or failure of the bond issue is of such vital concern to residents of the school district, parents; as well as the public, are urged to attend this meeting. It is the hope of the P.T.A. board that the public will take advantage of this opportunity to hear, first hand, facts and figures and thus avoid the confusion and misinformation which defeated the previous proposal. Mrs. Weiss will announce tentative plans for the year's prog r a m s a n d a l s o e x p l a i n t h e main project of the P.T.A. this year, which will be the enlargement of a Scholarship Loan Fund. Mrs. Weiss will announce the exact amount at the Oct. 7 meeting and will also reveal the identity of the mysterious "Petula Pig" who has been attending P.T.A. board meetings of late. Refreshments will be served following the meeting.
