Lynn returned very recently from Switzerland, where she spent a full year with the Heinrich Ruf family. She became convinced that the world is very small when, on a boat trip on Lake Zurich, sh§ overheard someone speaking English and decided she came from the mid-west of the United States. Approaching the young woman, she found that she was the former Janice Erickson, who resided between McHenry and Crystal Lake* now living overseas wfjile her husband is in service.

We understand in reading newspapers published in Wisconsin cities that residents there are refusing to forget very soon the riotous conditions that upset several communities-- particularly. Lake Geneva, and destroyed business over the summer's important holiday weekend. Their persistence in attempting to prevent future occurrences of this proportion is a step in the right direction. Certainly the small police departments in the individual cities cannot^ven provide a threat to mobs of young people unless they know they are backed up by sufficient numbers of state police or national guard. Although the July Fourth weekend remains an unpleasant memory only to those directly concerned, much, much smaller incidents in our own midst should provide a warning to every community that the alarming disrespect by this (Continued on page 12) Select Models For Benefit Revue Of Home-School Group Final plans are under way for the thirtieth annual style show sponsored by St. Mary's home and school association.

Prior to the vote, the Building commission, after reconsidering all suggested sites, presented its decision pn the most favorable locations in this order: First, the Bigelow property west of Woodstock and south of the Borden plant; second, the Austin property, west of the city and east of the Borden plant; and third, the Annex property. Because of the county fair just concluded, the Fair association found it impossible to submit costs of removing some buildings and demolishing others, and for this reason the site could not be considered at this time. However, by next month these figures will be in the hands of the commission. On a motion of Supervisor Edward Buss of McHenry, the board voted to omit the Annex from further consideration. It is expected that by the conclusion of the September meeting, a vote will be taken and that probably a choice of two sites will be made for presentation to the Woodstock City Council.
