Rose and Schiller were among the initiators of the operation in early 1976. Photocom was originally a combination camera store and commercial studio but the McHenry men set as the ultimate goal a complete photocenter. and summer internships at the bank. Ms. DiCianni, an accounting major, and Bazan, a computer science major, were among 40 other students from 20 different community colleges in the Chicago-area participated in the program. Ronald Chapman par­ ticipated as a faculty representative from McHenry college. The culmination of dream that had its start nine years ago may soon be a reality for Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bacon of Man­ sfield, Ark. The goal was set in 1972 when Marilyn and Bill Bacon, for­ merly of McHenry, and their friends, Pat and Gordon Pershell of LaGrange, were camping at Lake Ouachita. The two women have been friends since they were in art school. As rain poured down on their tent and their vacation, they envisioned a place where artists could have their homes and students could come for intenstive instruction in residence "Green Needles" is what they will call the school, named for the pines covering the 31- acre tract off US. 71 south of Mansfield. There will be two buildings in the center of the property. These will house classrooms, a dining area and dormitory and semi-private sleeping rooms for about 30 students. Surrounding the school buildings will be houses for staff members and retired persons. They will be able to use the residence quarters for guest housing and entertaining when classes are not in session. This is believed to be the first resident school for adult art instruction in Arkansas.) The Bacons moved to Mansfield from Ringwood in 1967. Mrs. Bacon served as a volunteer instructor for AR- VAS, teaching handcrafts such as basket making and husk dolls. Her husband, who will retire next year, builds frames for her paintings and will also do some of the construction on their new house on the grounds. Mrs. Bacon's artistry will be well remembered by those who attended the Mcrfenry Country Art Fair, where she was a frequent winner. A Musical Tribute Promotion For H.J. Voorhees "Ah Yes. I Remember it Well" is a musical tribute to things memorable and lovable, put together with nostalgia by Sasha Vereschagin and Shirley Smith and supported by a very special team of musicians assembled especially for this occasion.

Files For Rate Increase Stressing that the continued reliability of electric service depends on prompt, adequate rate relief, Commonwealth Edison has filed a request for a general rate increase with the Illinois Commerce com­ mission. The request of $452- million, if applied to sales in 1978, would increase rates approximately 18.3 percent. Edison is facing its worst financial crisis in his 41 years with the company and desperately needs rate relief, according to Chairman Thomas G. Ayers. As a result, Edison is proposing that half of the request, 9.2 percent, be made available on an interim basis while hearings on the full amount of the request proceeds.
