It consists of original short plays for two players, and will start at 7:30 p.m. The highlight of the evening will be Mr. Dietz' play "Deus Ex Machinist". It has been appraised by the New York Times as "a powerful piece". The Dietzes run a very personal and unbusinesslike operation, "an alternative theatrical life-style" as he calls it. Having no agent, the couple book all their own engagements, handling all the promotional, travel, and performance arrangements themselves. And in the decade they have been at it, many of their sponsors have become their good friends. In 1969 the Dietzes decided to give themselves away.

And if he couldn't afford anything, we played for nothing. Our brochure that year contained the warning: 'This offer ex­ pires when we do'. But most people played fair with us and the idea seemed to work, although we haven't exactly been having income tax problems." They are still doing it. This year's tour will be their last, however. "We've traveled somewhere between 250 and 300 thousand miles in the last ten years. And Sandra'd like to plant herself motionless in the garden for awhile," says Norman. "I'd just like to write a few more plays before I forget how." The Dietzes are presently on a four-month coast-to-coast tour. This will be their second, and probably their last per­ formance at McHenry.

Bill's Lamplighter Cafe 3313 W. ELM - McHENRY Church Women United With churches in 169 coun­ tries, local churches of varied denominations are holding prayer services Friday, March 3. The theme to be used at all gatherings is "All Joy Be Yours." This event is the second of three special gatherings sponsored by Church Women United each year. The public is encouraged to attend these ecumenical services which are scheduled as follows: Morning service (9:30 for coffee "and", worship at 10 o'clock) will be held at the Crystal Lake Methodist church and also at the Ringwood United Methodist church; the host church in Woodstock is First United Methodist for a 1 p.m. service; an evening prayer service will be held at St. Paul's Episcopal church in McHenry at 8 p.m. Rev. Olson of Nativity Lutheran church at Wonder Lake will be the speaker at Ringwood; Father McKay will give the message at the Episcopal church in McHenry; Mrs. Gerard Idstein of St. John's Catholic church, Johnsburg, will be soloist. Rev. Alfred Murschel of the Presbyterian church will speak at the Woodstock First Methodist. This is a celebration of faith and unity among Christian women the world over but CWU expects and welcomes men to participate in these World Day Prayer Services. Since the first small gatherings in the United States eighty-five years ago, the idea of united prayer by women the world from sun to sun has in­ creasingly captured the imagination of community groups. Today, World Day of Prayer can be described as the most important ecumenical occasion during the year. This celebration is the most widely observed activity of Church Women United, which is the ecumenical expression of Protestant, Orthodox and Roman Catholic women who wish to mobilize around common goals and channel their energies into effective action. The goal of Church Women United is to form a visible fellowship of believers in Christ, and move in every community and nation as in­ struments of reconciling love. There are 2,300 units of CWU in the United States. The preparation for the celebration is as in­ ternationally far-reaching as the participation in it. Liaison officers from each national committee form a sponsoring International committee. This committee, which meets every three or four years, met in Bankok in 1970 Chairman of the In­ ternational committee is Gudrun Diestel of Germany, who also compiled the material which was developed into a service for the 1972 celebration. Women from at least ten eastern and western European countries contributed material. The service is adapted by the national committers to fit the individual needs . each country. As the women of eastern and western Europe chose what petitions should be included in this year's world-wide prayers, they were aware of three problems affecting the whole world: the plight of displaced peoples, the strained relationships between the generations, and the unsetUing effect of the technological revolution. This year's theme, "All Joy Be Yours", is designed to raise the consciousness of the par­ ticipant that the joy in Christ is transcendent, permeating all of life no matter what conditions prevail. Just as the joyful reality of God's faithfulness and care can break through the dismal or oppressive conditions that exist in the world, so Christ's coming as man can break through the barrier between the sacred and the secular. "Breakthrough" was the theme of the National Ecumenical Assembly held by CWU in Wichita, Kansas, in April, 1971: The implications of God in Christ making a radical breakthrough in history were explored there and church women will continue to seek out what their faith compels them to do in the midst of the radical breakthrough in technology and social patterns* The World Day of Prayer offering goes into a fund called Intercontinental Mission-the process by which CWU par­ ticipates in a ministry to people all over the world. The people and places to whom funds are granted include women and children in need of education and better nutrition, minority women in new careers, thirteen women's colleges in Asia and the Near East, international students, American Indians and Spanish-speaking people, migrants, refugees, people on vacation in National Parks, future church leaders in­ terested in ecology, and women leaders in Africa and Latin America. The work ac­ complished by the use of these funds includes the training of health and nutrition workers who then hold workshops in villages, the training of rural women overseas to participate in the social and economic development in their own countries, the preparation of indigenous literature in countries where many people are newly literate, the sub­ sidizing of minority groups seeking self-development and self-determination, and peace- building through cooperation with the United Nations and international conferences. Church Guild Makes Plans For Chicken Dinner St. Patrick's Ladies' guild will meet at 8 p.m. Monday, March 6, in the church hall. Mary Kantorski and Claire Miller, co-chairmen for the annual St. Patrick's day din­ ner, will outfine plans for the March 12 fried chicken dinner to be served from 1-4 p.m. in the church hall.
