Hardinger told members of the Wa-Tan-Ye Service Club Wednesday evening when the membership took part to) a small hootenanny.

singing became general- people began recognizing their heritage," Mrs. Hardinger said as she traced the history of the hootenanny. Folk music -has played a vital role in history. It's a transitional or experimental vehicle. The growth and interest in folk music is part of the experimentation in night-club-type or serious music, she added.

"Hootenanny is a 'situation musical' when everyone joins in the singing or participating in the performance of folk music." Mrs. Hardinger explained that folk music deals with basic values, ideas and ideals, which are found in almost every culture. Folk themes often describe life, death, birth, love and tragic love. Folk songs, including "Puff the Magic Dragon," "Five Hundred Miles" and "If I Had a Hammer" were sung by Carol Raftree, Craig Reed, Tom Meinders and Mike O'Mara. Carol Raftree also sang a solo, "My Fisherman, My Laddie, Oh." Initiation of three new members and one honorary member, Mrs.

Harvey Hartman, followed. Mrs. Clarice Nicholson was in charge. The red, yellow and black colors of Wa-Tan-Ye were carried out in the candles and floral spray of carnations on the table.

Fourth Of July Program Lacks Sponsor Group Chamber of Commerce officials questioned Wednesday whether residents of Freeport are anxious to have a fireworks display on the Fourth of July.

Kevin is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Lietz, who live in Berkeley, Mo. Mrs.

Lietz is a sister of Mrs. Robert E. Rush, 714 W. Lincoln Blvd. Their grandfather, Rev.

L. A. Whitesell, served as pastor of Main Street Evangelical United Brethren Church 20 years ago. The funeral will be Saturday afternoon at 2:30 in the First Baptist Church in Mount Vernon. The family asks that no flowers be sent and that the money instead be contributed to the National Tay-Sachs Association.

Inborn Chemical Defect Mr. and Mrs. Lietz learned in January 1963 that their son had this disease, which is an inborn chemical defect, a disturbance of infantile phosphatide metabolism, usually fatal within the first two or three years of life. They also learned at that time that their daughter, Susie, who is now 3, is also doomed to die. They are the only children of the 24-year-old couple.

The affliction appears soon after birth, affecting the brain and spreading throughout the body, with deterioration of organs and resulting in certain death. There is no record of any previous case in either family. For Research Work The family has caught the attention of the Associated Press, which carried the story in newspapers across the country. In January a television show was taped in their living room as a public interest program for the Mike Wallace show. According to newspaper articles, the family does not want pity or money.

"We want people to start a campaign for research work," Mr. Lietz said.

Pef And Hobby Show Planned By Kiwanis The Annual Kiwanis-YMCA Pet Hobby Show will be held on May 8 and 9, officials announced. Al Fehr, chairman of the boys and girls committee of Kiwanis, will be in charge. In 1963, 55 hobbies and 70 pets were exhibited at the Y. Plans are being enlarged for this year, and an appeal is being made to all boys and girls of elementary and junior high grades to enter. Included in the hobby exhibits can be collections, handcraft projects, art exhibits, science projects and any worthwhile activity that can be shown by Smith says the plan is to rotate the pictures monthly.

Each child will thus become familiar while in grade school with a large number of art masterpieces and artists. The series is large enough that a child may not ever encounter the same picture in another class. The classroom teacher will tell the children about each new picture when it comes to stay a month. A guide for the teachers is going out this week, to explain the plans. "We want the children to live with the pictures, enjoy them, expect to live with good pictures, anticipating arrival of each new one, study each one, dream about it.

For Everyone "We hope each child will try to sense what art is rather than being bored over it, will discuss it like anything else that le lives with, and will come to think of art as a part of living rather than for someone with a special talent, or special training, or with a lot of money. "Our aim is for children to grow up wanting the best art around them, knowing that art is always meaningful but not always pretty that it is the expression of man's daily hopes, fears and joys. "We want each child to like Deaths, Funerals an exhibitor. Pets are to be clean and healthy and on a leash or in a cage or box. Entries are to be to the the first week in May.
