Bakfc la Ditch - ~ A big Buick touring car, bearing a Minnesota license, went off the road on the M cHenry-Wauconda highway shortly after nine o'clock last Sunday evening. In leaving the roadbed one of the rear wheels was mashed. The at the time of the accident, was occupied by a man, woman and child. According to a story that has reached this ooffice, the child was asleep in the rear seat of the machine when the accident took place. Strange as it may appear, the child was uninjured after being thrown out of the car and over a fence. The two other occupants, whose names we have been unable to obtain, also remained uninjured. The car was brought to Mc- Henry by workmen employed at Stilling's garage, where the damage to same was repaired the following day. r 'A. M. Brawn Paaeee Aw»fcty^-: A. M.

Bridge Tender at Nipperaink Again an Job and Will Be Kept There-- Weed Cutters Ready For Work Up to date less than one-half of last year's members have renewed their memberships to the Fox River & Lakes Improvement association, which body has accomplished so much in the way of improving the Fox river and chain of lakes to tlSe north. A circular letter is now being mailed out to all of last year's members, urging them to send in their membership fees lest their interests suffer thru lack of funds. A list of last year's members, gotten otit in book form, was mailed out some time ago and the officers are asking the co-operation of each of .these men in securing membership fees for 1922. Without funds the association is helpless to go ahead with their season's well formulated plans. According to the latest circular letter sent to members, an earth dike is now being thrown up along *the west bank of Fox river above the dam, where the bank is low and where the river washed out a large section during the stage of high water. Lights and markers are also being placed in the channels. Weed cutters are being made ready for service and orders for cutting should be sent in to the secretary, C. Kier Davis, 11 So. LaSalle street, Chicago. John A. MacLean, chairman of the regatta committee, has sent out the 1922 season's motor boat racing and regatta program, which is as follows: Tuesday, July 4--Motor boat races on Fox lake, Mineola bay. Sunday, July 9--Motor boat races on Channel lake. Sunday, July 16--Motor boat races on Fox lake, Yacht club Bohemia. Sunday, July 23--Motor boat races on Pistakee lake and bay. Sunday, July 30--Regatta. Fox lake and Mineola bay. Swimming, rowing and canoe races. Boys' and girls' special events. Motor boat races. Sunday, Aug. 6--Motor boat races on Long lake. Sunday, Aug. 18--Motor boat races on Fox lake, Mineola bay. Sunday, Aug. 20--Motor boat races on Fox river at McHenry, Sunday, Aug. 27--Motor-boat races at Lake Marie. Sunday, Sept. 8--Motor boat races | on Fox lake, Yacht club Bohemia. Monday, Sept. 4--Labor day races at Fox Lake. In connection with the above program it may be of news to many to learn that the Fox River & Lakes Improvement association is now a member of the Mississippi Valley Power Boat association, having become affiliated with that body some time ago. Another matter that has been taken care of by the association and which is sure to interest owners of large water craft concerns the draw bridge across Nippersink creek near Fox Lake. The following letter fully explains the action taken: Chicago, 111., June 6, 1922. Mr. A. V. Hannifin, Pres., Pox River & Lakes Imp. Assn. Dear Sir--The following proposed regulations were submitted to the railroad company: In a letter received today from Mr. C. F. Loweth, chief engineer of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, he states that the company will arrange to put the regulations inte effect. In reply to an inquiry by telephone he promised to have a bridge tender at the bridge beginning Saturday, June 10. If the bridge tender should prove careless or negligent, please advise me fully in regard to the circumstances. Tentative regulations for the operation of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway draw bridge over the channel between Nippersink lake and Pistakee lake: 1. Whenever a steamboat or other vessel desires to pass thru the drawspan of this bridge, the person in charge of the boat, whoa at least one-half mile distant from the bridge, should signal the bridge tender by giving three distinct blasts upon a steam whistle, air whistle or horn. 2. Upon hearing the signal prescribed the bridge tender shall at once open the bridge for the prompt passage of the vessel, unless it is within five minutes of the passage of a regular train, in which case the bridge shall be opened promptly as soon as the train has craned bridge. 3. From May 28 to October 1, on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, the railroad company shall maintain a bridge tender at the bridge from 8:00 a. m. until midnight, standard time. On other days during this period the railroad company shall maintain a bridge tender at this bridge from noon until 10.00 p. m. (or midnight). 4. At all other times the railroad company shall operate this draw bridge upon telephone call or advance notice to the bridge tender or station agent. For convenience in calling the bridge tender 4>r Ration agent the McHenry's summer resort district is growing with such rapidity that it's next to impossible to keep tab on all that is going on about us. This week we are informed by Mrs. Bohr that she has just opened a beautiful new subdivision at McCollum's lake, to be known as Oak Glen. The new subdivision is located on the north shore of that beautiful lake and the lots are considered the finest and among the best fronting that body of water. Or.e of the ©specially pleasing features of the tract is that all lota lie high and dry with an abundance of large oak trees. McCollum's lake, like Fox river and the chain of lakes to the north, has witnessed a very substantial growth in the number of summer home owners during the past few years and the announcement of the new subdivision there should attract more people to this very desirable spot. CLASS OF 28 IS BinAlB INTO McHENRY COURT, DAUGHTERS OF AMERICA SET DATE FOR CARNIVAL Big Brent to Be Held In Conway's Park, Aug. 4, 5 and 6 Boat Outing Next Tuesday Return post cards announcing the first annual outing and boat ride under the auspices of the Community club have been mailed out to the members this week and it is the hope of the club as well as the house committee, in charge of this outing, that everyone receiving such a card will give same their prompt attention so that the committee may know just how many will make the trip. An effort has also been made to reach every business man in McHenry with such a card, as it is the desire of the club to have all of them with us on that day, regardless of whether or not they be members of that body. Should there be any business men who have not been notified or have not received a card, please remember that you are invitee1 to enjoy the day and trip with the boosters for a bigger and better JStcHenry. The latter should make it a point, however, to notify the president, Mr. W. L. Howell, that they will go so that ample boat as well as lunch provisions may be made for all. The boat or boats, as the case may be, will leave Justen's pier at 8:15 a. m., sharp, for an all day boat trip and outing. The cost of the trip, including lunch and refreshments, will be approximately $1.00 per person. Send in your post card TODAY. New Village Dumping Grwind Both of the old dumping grounds, the old clay hole on John street as well as the small pond near Waukegan street, west of the railroad track, have been ordered closed by the local board of health. A new public dumping ground, located on the Hanly estate farm, just west of the village limits, has been opened and the pub lie is kindly asked to use same in the future. The board of health has set out to make the village just as sani tary as well as beautiful as possible and in keeping with this spirit the new public dump has been provided. It is to be hoped that the public will co-operate with the members of this honorable body by using the new place provided for the purpose of depositing rubbish and other unsightly matter and in this manner assist in mak ing McHenry a village that we may all point to with a feeling of just pride. Both of the old dumping grounds are now being leveled off aIJ;j piaggj jji « presentable condition Let's keep them that way. am Speeding There are still a few local automobile drivers who insist upon endangering the lives of pedestrians. Officer Walsh has been mighty patient with these chaps and unless they take heed of warnings some of these fellows are going to "tell it to the judge" one of these days. A young lad, who resides east of town and drives a large touring car, has been breaking the speed limit laws here constantly and should be picked up and given the limit. Residents east of the river inform us that this same chap has,been seen crossing the river bridge, not once, but on several different occasions, at a dangerous rate of speed. While this is only one case, we have a few right here in the village who are going too fast and should be stopped. Automobile smash-ups are taking pla^e daily and unless a stop is put to tfcis fast and reckless driving McHenry is sure to witness some very bad accidents. Let's put a stop to it before someone gets killed. ^ the railroad company shall install and maintain a telephone set at the bridge. j. During the hours of darkness thruout the navigation season, the railroad company shall mark the east navigable span by two suitable red lights, one on the draw pier and one on the east abutment of the bridge. Yours very truly, Rufus W. Putman, Major, Corps of Engineers, ? INl Acting District Engineer. •; v.'.^ Auction Sale 5Mday, June 17, at l:00o»cleek, of my household goods in the flat above the McHenry bakery. Wm. G. Schreiner, aarHoneer^ V • I* Itniil* Degrees Exemplified at K. of C. Hall Sunday Afternoon By Teas From Carroll Court, Chicago The membership of Joyce Kilmer court, No. 593, Catholic Daughters of America, of this place was increased by the addition of twenty-eight new members last Sunday afternoon, when a class was initiated into the order at the K. of C. hall. The hall was prettily decorated in the colors of the organization and set forth a very pretty spectacle. Seventy- five members of the local court and visitors were present to witness the impressive ceremonies as performed by the degree team of Carroll court of Chicago. At the conclusion of the work Mrs. Helen F. Meager of Chicago, who holds the honorable office of states regent, made a most pleasing talk. The gathering then adjourned to Justen's hotel, where an elaborate banquet, given in honor of the new members, was enjoyed. The decorative scheme of purple and gold, the society's colors, was carried out in the beautiful dining hall, while carnations graced the tables. Covers were laid for ninetyfive. Many comments were bestowed upon the hotel management for the splendid menu and the manner in which it was served. Daintily printed program folders, used on the occasion, also received favorable comments. The menu: Fruit cocktail, roast veal, dressing, brown gravy, mashed potatoes, French peas, olives, celery, combination salad, ice cream, cake and coffee. * Miss Eleanor E. Phalin acted as toastmistress and carried out the role in a highly pleasng manner. In fact, her manner of introducing the speakers and announcing the musical numbers was highly commendable. The after dinner speakers and the order in which they responded were Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of St. Patrick's church; Miss Annfe McCarthy, district deputy of Chicago; Rev. Chas. S. Nix, pastor of St Mary's; Miss Agnes Ryan of Chicago and an impromptu by Miss j^nne O'Neil, also of Chicago. The address of each and every one of the speakers was highly enjoyable and filled with advice which would tend to make the organization and its membership a power for good. The vocal and instrumental numbers of the evening were provided by Miss Mary Moritx of Chicago, who favored the gathering with a beautiful solo. She was accompanied by Miss Agnes Dwyer, also of Chicago. A vocal solo by Miss Dorothy Knox of McHenry, who acted as her own accompanist, also gave a very pleasing number, as was the duet by Mrs. C. M. Bickler and Miss Clara Miller. Those who were initiated and enrolled into the local court last Sunday afternoon were the following: Helen Althoff, Vera Buss, Genevieve Carey, Mary Conway, Vera Doherty, Rosena M. Freund, Mrs. Theresa Freund, Kathryn Frett, Adele Heimer, Louise Kasch, Ruth Kent, Mildred Klein, Eleanor Klein, Theresa Knox, Beulah Larkin, Rose Laures, Mary May, Kathryn McCabe, Margaret McCabe, Mrs. Mary McCabe, Mrs. Kathryn Nye, Rosemary Nye, Helen Pauly, Agnes Peters, Helen Schneider, Josephine Stoffel, Rose Stoffei and Dorothy Walsh. The addition of the new members gives McHenry the distinction of having one of the largest and strongest courts of Illinois, outside of Chicago. The court is the first and only one thus far established in McHenry county and with the spirit that is being shown by the officers and members it is sure to hold the lead in this section of the state for years to come. Htxteon Six In Bad Smash-up A big Hudson Six touring car^om© carrying four passengers and headed north, went into the ditch on the Volo road a few rods north of A. J. Pouliot's boat shop last Saturday afternoon. Just what caused the accident was not explained by the driver or occupants, but it remains that the big machine went into the ditch with considerable force. The entire left front 6t the car, including the windshield, stearing wheel and wheel were smashed. The driver of the car and his companions in the front seat were more or less cut up about their hands and faces, their injuries having been attended to by a local physician. The damaged car was towed to the Star garage, where the necessary repairs are now being made. The identity of the owner and occupants of the car could net be learned. i . Motorists' Protective Aaan» The Motorists' Protective association, with New York City as their national headquarters, has just issued its first bulletin, which gives A. H. Pouse as their local attorney, Dr. N. J. Nye as their local physician, Todd's Busy Bee as their restaurant, Stilling's garage and J. C. Bidder's McHenry House as their official garage and hotel. ITERS OF LOCAL RTUST AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALSft REPORTERS DURING WEEK Plans for the holding of a gigantic three day open air carnival are now well under way by the officers and members of the McHenry post, American Legion, under whoce auspices the event is to be held.

The special committee as named by the McHenry post to look after the general arrangement has already held several meetings. At the last meeting held on Tuesday evening of this week the following list of names was submitted and approved for the men who are to assist the Legion in making the proposed event a big success. These men will later on be placed on the various committees with the hope that each and every one will become active. The names as suggested and approved are as follows: C. W. Stenger, W. F. Vogt, Martin B. Schraitt, L. A. Erickson, P. W. Frett, F. E. Covalt, Geo. H. Johnson, F. G. Schreiner, N. H. Petesch, C. Unti, Will Smith, Richard B. Walsh, Wm. Pries, Henry J. Miller, W. L. Howell, J. C. Holly, John R. Knox, Peter J. Heimer, John F. Miller, C. M. Bickler, A. V. Hannifin, Frank C. Sullivan and A. H. Watson.

One of the big features, as already announced, will be the giving away of three valuable prises, one each night. These prises will consist of a Ford touring car, player jriano and iloor lamp. Various attractions will be booked, while arrangements have already been completed with the management of the Fox dancing pavilion whereby dancing will be conducted on each of the three nights. Further particulars regarding the big event will be announced from time to time thru the column* of this paper. Excavating Started Monday Morning Excavating for the basement of St. Patrick's new church was started on Monday morning of this week and since then very good progress has been made. Hie church edifice will be constructed of Pennsylvania fireproof brick of a gray-blue and buff color. The church edifice will be 42 feet wide and 108 feet long with full basement. A chapel, 28x32, will also be on the east side of the structure, where masses will be conducted on week-day mornings during the winter months.

The space beneath the chapel will be set aside for garage purposes. According to agreement the i entire structure must be ready for occupancy by January 1. The men and teams employed on the grounds this week arrived here from Rockford Sunday afternoon and went to work the following morning. Old Time Resident Hen William E. Holmes, old time McHenry resident and Civil war .veteran, was in McHenry last week renewing old friends and acquaintances, this being his first visit to the village in twenty years. Mr. Holmes' father at one time conducted the old McHenry House in this village and later was the proprietor of the old Gage hotel on the West Side, later known the Parker House. Upon leaving McHenry, Mr. Holmes went to Genoa Junction, Wis., where he was engaged in the hotel business for a number of years. Of late he has been making his home at the Soldiers' Home at Quincy, 111. Mr. Holmes has gone to Chicago, where he expects to spend time with his son, Leroy C. Holmes. On a visit to The Plaindealer office the visitor told us that he would hardly have known the old town as so many changes had taken place since his former visit. Interesting Historical Item Breaking of ground of the new St. Patrick's church links the local parish through its pastor with the first priest ordained for the diocese of Boston over a hundred years ago and also with the first church built in Whitefield, Maine, by that priest, the Rev. Denis Ryan, who had a church dedicated exactly one hundred years ago in June, 1822. Father Ryan was a great-grand-uncle of the Rev. M. J. McEvoy and the first priest to be ordained by the Right Rev. Bishop Cheverus in the year 1817. He was assigned later to the parish at Whitefield, Maine, Maine being then a part of the diocese of Boston, and while pastor there bnilt the church spoken of. _____ Market your at Eridewrt.
