Pag* 4 McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section A Wednesday, September 25,1985 Community Local talent on display FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 26, 1935) Jacob Stock, McHenry's young artist, again has some interesting work on exhibit here which local people should not fail to see. On exhibit at the high school building is a painting titled "The Rose Window of Notre Dame" as well as a bust modeled by the artist from McHenry clay. The bust is one made of Roy Matthews a few years ago. Another painting by Stock of the old Johns- burg church as it was being de­ stroyed by Are is being shown in Jacob Justen's window on Green Street. The pictures are painted for the exhibit of the Fine Arts of the All Illinois Society to be displayed in the Steven'sHotel in Chicago. Ray McGee,^!cHenry Postmaster and Elmer Freund, West McHenry Postmaster, are attending the na­ tional convention of postmasters at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago this week. They heard the postmaster- general James A. Farley in his add- dress at the opening of the conven­ tion Tuesday. Two-thousand postmasters were welcomed to the Twice Told Tales city by Mayor Kelly, Postmaster Ernest J. Kruetger and Lieut.-Gov. Thomas F. Donovan who spoke in place of Governor Horner. One of McHenry's greatest assets is the Fox River and it is deplorable indeed to see this beautiful stream filled with weeds so thick that the water even becomes stagnant and the weeds become covered by a green scum, says a McHenry resi­ dent. Many who watched the boat races on the river noted its condition and property owners along the stream are anxious that something can be done another year to clear away the weeds.
