It is even less likely that a recording artist with sales totalling in the millions visits us. When it happens that both of these achievements belong to one man, the occasion is very special. McHenry residents are expected to take advantage of Senator Dirksen* s visit and listen with some disbelief, as the deep, rich tones carry his seemingly boundless supply of words in choice phrases that never fail to amuse an appreciative audience. Leaves are beginning to turn, and it isn't too soon to setaside a day to play hookey from work i and drive into the country. --' A few folks of our acquaintance have difficulty in realizing complete enjoyment in the wonders of Mother Nature because of the impending winter season.
