"Leo Hi Leo Thought it was about tune to hear from you On the other side. I should have called on you I am sure the seasons have changed My Uncle John once told me he only went as far as the 4th reader in school He had to help on the farm in the fall, then drop out in March when the field work started Do you have a wedding picture of your parents7 You just signed your first name Let me tell our TRKES!

Let's add "S" for spelling Let me tell thee, some spelling is atrocious. Dick Rahbitt, the people's choice, has been making a fuss about me not firing Alvina to a basketball game. So on Friday night we strolled in and gave him a surprise. Must say he rolled out the welcome mat. Since our high school days, there has been nothing to compare with a McHenry- Woodstock game Way back when. Wood­ stock was the big school in the County and every team was primed to try to knock them off Woodstock has a well- balanced team this year and McHenry is in a building stage Let's say our Warriors were no match for the Blue Streaks Friday night The Streaks had the edge in size and experience -- And they can shoot! The Warriors have speed to burn, but turnovers are a real bugaboo Coach Ludwig may have finally found that big man Mark Peterson. a sophomore, should develop in the next two years Mark is a big fellow right now. but HELP!

Dick says we picked the wrong game. We will try again. Arnold Rauen, the globetrotter, gave us ad­ vance notice that Congressman Philip Crane would give us a top flight talk at the McHenry Hospital dinner-meeting Saturday- night- Truer words were never spoken. Phil Paul has retired--I think After working 38 years for one firm, he had to get into action again so he spent about 12 years setting records as a real estate salesman in this area. Yep. Phil has retired -- unless he gets restless A young fellow of 72 years can't just rust out. Since I love nurses. Dr Wilt's remarks about them was especially interresting as he spilled out a fine report with well chosen words at the hospital meeting. They never let us down Pastor Herman Graef and his parishioners served another fine meal on Sun­ day. The food was hot. So was the coffee Mrs Graef poured with a smile. Harold Walter was a real upstairs-downstairs man. calling numbers and keeping every one in good spirits. Curtis Bremer, the ticket man at the door, was dressed up like a movie star Quite a promoter is Curtis' On our way out. he was promoting the Lions' Club pancake breakfast coming along March 7. - Saw so many familiar faces and when I told Ed Guettler my problem of not remembering names, he said.

Local Boy Scouts are joining in a nation-wide celebration this week in observance of the twenty- second anniversary of the founding of the organization, the Boy Scouts of America. This anniversary is made a significant occasion by every council One of these suggestions which the McHenry troop is carrying out is the wearing of scout uniforms during the week and Boy Scouts may be readily picked out for that reason The Ringwood unit of the Farm Bureau was well represented at the winter picnic held at Woodstock and ranked second in the number of members and guests in attendance. John Stock, caretaker for the Allen summer home and other cottages along the Fox river at Orchard Beach, was the victim of a mysterious accident and his unconscious body was found about midnight. He regained consciousness but his mind did not seem to be clear enough so that he could enlighten authorities as to the cause of his condition. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 12. 1942). Written before the United States was plunged into war. a stirring song by Mrs Pearl Hauswirth of Maywood. formerly of McHenry. is now more sorely needed to uphold the morale of the Army than when it was written. The song has gained popularity in army camps and women's units in the villages. Titled, 'The Boy From Illinois", the spirited tune is dedicated to the men in the 33rd division "Their intentions may be splendid but it's still against the law to send chain letters and citizens should cooperate in calling a halt to the practice." Thus have postmasters in several places summarized their views upon the practice of circulating chain letters for boosting the sale of U.S. defense savings stamps.
