'**,» >*< Juw That there is still a possibility of securing the McHenr>-Volo road this fall is seen in the following letter written by C. R. Miller, of Springfield, to R. I. Overton, of this village: State of Illinois DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND BUILDINGS Springfield, August 1, 1928. Mr. R. I. Overton, President McHenry County Good Roads Association McHenry, Illinois, Dear Sir:-- In answer to your recent letter, I wish to advise that we' are rushing surveys and plans for the road between Volo and McHenry for the purpose of getting it ready for letting in the near future. Very truly yours, C. R. Miller, Director. Thus it may be seen that McHenry has not been forgotten entirely and while the time is getting rather late for the completion of this, stretch between now and the freeze-up, a good start can be made. In fact, it looks to us as if all of the grading could be completed and some actual cementing done this year provided that a contract be let at once. As stated in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, this is a particularly bad stretch of road and should have had the state's attention long before now. The ataetdi. In some places at leest, was impassable last spring. It will be remembered that one of the real bad spots was opened up thru the efforts of the members of the McHenry Community club. This particular stretch of road probably takes care of more traffic than any other highway in McHenry county and it seems to us that an early letting of contract for the grading and cementing of this road would be benefitting thousands of motorists who travel it annually. LATER: Since the above has been put into type we learn that surveyors from the Elgin office have been rushed to McHenry with instructions to complete the survey east of McHenry at the earliest possible moment. These men arrived in McHenry on Wednesday morning and went to work at noon. They will be joined by another gang next Monday morning with the hope that their -work may be completed by the end of another week. We are further informed that a survey has already been completed, starting from Sherman's-hill, west of town, and ending at Thompson's corner, in Greenwood township. The east survey starts near the home of Mrs. Henry Kennebeck and extends to the Lake county line. According to these surveys it looks as if the building of the road thru this village will not come now, the state officials undoubtedly waiting for the citizens of this village to come to an agreement just where they want the road. Let us hope that this decision will be reached soon. Still Time To Get In. It has been brought to the attention of the officials of the McHenry Country Club that a report has been circulated about the community that certain McHenry people could not become members of said club and the officials hasten to take this opportunity of making it known that there are still a few available memberships and if there are any McHenry people who wish to join they should now avail themselves of the opportunity. The membership to this growing club ts rapidly reaching the limit, therefore it behooves one to get busy if they care to get in before the membership campaign comes to a close. Rain Doesn't Stop Golfer*. A little thing like Na rain storm doesnt seem to stop the members and friends of the McHenry Golf club. The links were fairly well crowded up until the rain last Sunday morning, and no sooner had the heavens cleared before the grounds again saw a large gathering of lovers of the sport. Some good scores have been made by local amateur players during the past two or three weeks, and if some of the new players continue to improve in the future as they have in the past, McHenry is almost sure to turn out some real good players before the end of the present season. Attend Eva Hamilton Night. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. N. Sayler, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Holly, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Stephenson, Mrs. George Stevens, Mrs. F. E. Cobb, Mrs. Chas. Reitesel, Mrs. F. E.

LAYING OF COMER STOffi TO TAKE PLACE HERE SUNDAY AFTERNOON Rt. . Bor. •Bishop P. J. MaUeon, of Rockford, Will Preside--Claaa of Fifty To Be Coafiraed. Next Sunday afternoon, at three o'clock, McHenry will witness the impressive ceremonies attendant to the laying of the corner stone at the new St. Patrick's church edifice now under construction. Plans for this very rare occasion have been under way for some time past and with favorable weather conditions a large crowd will be on band to assist in making the event one long to be remembered. The Rt. Rev. P. J. Muldoon, Bishop of Rockford, will have charge of the ceremonies and will have the assistance of a large number of clergy, who are" expected in Mcftenry from many of the neighboring as well as nearby cities and towns. A silver trowel, donated to the parish by Mrs. Robert Boyd, 6t Chicago, will be used by the Bishop. The trowel will bear the following inscription: "Trowel used by Rt. Rev. P. J. Muldoon, Bishop of Rockford, at the corner stone laying ' of the new St. Patrick's church August 13, 1922." Besides this inscription it will also bear the name of the present pastor, Rev. M. J. McEvoy, as well as the names of the members of the building committee. The customary metal box containing a list of the names of donors to the new church edifice, coins, a current issue of this paper, as well as other documents that might prove of future interest, will occupy a place beneath the stone. The stone itself will be quite unique. Within a circle on both of its exposed sides will be a celtic cross. The front of the stone and within the circle will be the name of the church, as well as the year of its erection. The other side of the stone, and also within the circle, will bear the following inscription: "Domus Mea Orationis Vocabitur," meaning My House shall he Called the House of Prayer." A sermon by the Bishop and special music by St. Patrick's church choir will also form a part of the afternoon's program. Confirmation In and immediately after the 9:45 o'clock mass, the Bishop will also confirm a class of fifty. A procession, composed of members of the various societies of the church, will form in line in front of St. Patrick's rectory just before the last mass. and from this point the Bishop and the clergy will be escorted to the church. Sermons will be rendered by Bishop Mnldoon both before and after the confirmation ceremonies. Numbered among the class to be confirmed are four converts who have become members of St. Patrick's parish during the past year or two. Bishop To Arrive Saturday Unless present plans are changed, the Bishop will arrive in McHenry from Rockford on Saturday evening and will spend the night at. St. Patrick's rectory. An Old Pariah '• i\ * St Patrick's parish is <mer*ot the oldest in the Rockford diocese. The parish built its first place of worship as early as 1853. In 1872 an addition wus built and again in 1883 the edifice was further enlarged and improved. Pastor's Seventh Aaaiveraary. Rev. M. J. McEvoy, present pastor of St Patrick's church, came to McHenry seven years ago this month and since taking over the charges of this congregation he has witnessed a very substantial growth in its membership. So large, in fact, that the old church has become too small and therefore the erection of now St. Fatrick's. -, - • Improvements At School. The contract for the installation of toilets and shower baths in our public school building has been awarded to W. J. Donavin, who, with his men, has already gone to work on the job. The improvement will go into the east and west rooms of the basement. It is the hope of the school board that McHenry will be given her promised system of sewerage, so that they will be able to hook onto same and thus save the district the expense of putting in a temporary disposal system. Such a system, we are told, would cost about '0|1,000. -- ^ ' • Improves River Front. John Schuenemann, who last spring purchased the M. M. Niesen home, on the corner of Riverside Drive and Washington street, is now improving the river front lot just across the street from his home, which he also owns. He has had the lot filled in and is now leveling it off. An improvement worthy of comment. ^ ^ ^ , Hunter Boat Lia|p ' Regular trips to the lotus beds every day at 9:00 a. m. and 1:30 p. m.

That four young people of this community, who figured in an automobile accident near Crystal Lake, last Saturday night, are here to tell of their hair-raising experience is little short of a miracle. Fortunately, however, this remains a fact. The party, composed of Miss Adele Heimer, night operator at the local exchange of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company, Edmund Barbian, also of McHenry and an employee at the Terra Cotta factory, Miss Bernice Smith and Andrew Hawley, of Ringwood, had just left Crystal Lake and were on their way home when the machine, a new Buick touring cara traveling at a good rate of speed, struck a cement culvert and turned completely over. In fact, according to occupants of a machine who witnessed the accident, the car turned over twice, Luckily, the machine landed* rightside up and thus probably saved the victims from being pinned beneath. Frank Hughes, of this village, with two men who were working with him that day, were on their way home from Belvidere, and, according to the story as related to The Plaindealer, these three men were eye witnesses to the accident. Another automobile carrying tourists happened along about this time and between the two machines the victims of the mishap were carried to the. office of Dr. H. D. Hull, at Crystal Lake, where they were tendered first aid. Later on the young people were brought to McHenry by taxi. Among the victims Miss Smith appeared to be more seriously injured, she having received quite painful lacerations to her head, body and lower limbs, while Miss Heimer's injuries consisted of a slight gash over the right eye, a cut on her right leg and a sprained wrist. Edwin Hawley, the driver of the car, was quite severely cut up about the face and scalp, while Edwin Barbian escaped with only slight bruises. However, in .spite of the fact the young people came out of it as well as they did, all were unconscious when picked up and did not regain their senses until they had reached the office of the Crystal Lake physician. Mr. Barbian was up and around the following morning, as was Mr. Haw- In the morning of the same day, ley. altho the two young ladies are still confined to their respective homes. Indications, however, point to an early and satisfactory recovery.

A great and glorious time was had with many visitors attending the campfire and bathing parties as well as the canoe trips. They concluded the week's festivities by inviting the Blarney Castle Girls' club and friends to an entertainment held in the sun parlor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Kent last Sunday evening. The enjoyable occasion opened with dancing, followed by games and vocal selections. Later on in the evening all motored out to the Onwego camp, where a marshmallow roast was enjoyed on the moonlight beach.

PORTABLE BUILDING To -fee ^Erected Oa School Grounds At Once. Aa a temporary means of relieving the congested condition at the McHenry high school, the members of the school board have contracted for the erection of a portable building. The material has been purchased and it is the hope of the board to have same delivered here by the end of the present, or no later than the fore part of next week. The building, rather the material, has been purchased from the Alexander Lumber Company, which concern is now making a specialty of portable building material. It will occupy a site just east of the present school building, will be 24x66 feet in dimensions and will be heated from the system now .in use at the school. According to members of the community school with whom we have talked, it will require about two weeks' time to erect the building and another week will place same in readiness for occupancy. Thus it may be aeen that the temporary quarters will be ready for use with the beginning of the fall term. Acquiring Herbes Property. While the process of procuring the Herbes property, which has been voted as the site for the new community high school structure, seems rather slow, the board is doing everything within its power to hasten this en<$ of the work. * Transfer papers are now coming in, but it will require another weelc or more before all matters appertaining to the purchasing of the Julius Keg Moves Hia Outfit To McHeary From Julius Keg's dredging outfit, which has been doing some great work around Fox and Pistakee Lakes during the past two years, was moved to this village the first of the week and is now set up and ready to clean up Fox river in front of the Stenger, Owen and Allen addition, just south of this village. The McHenry Artificial Stone & Construction company only recently completed a 766-foot seawall along this property and the dredge will now clean up this shore and fill in the low spots back of this wall. Later on this wall will be extended south for a distance of about eighty rods and eventually the entire tract now held by the above syndicate will be beautified. In an interview with one of the owners of this property, we were told that already all but one of the front lots of the first addition have been sold, wliile buyers have also been found for thirteen of the rear lots. Further down the river, on the front acquired from Jacob F. Justen, a number of lots have been sold. The writer was particularly pleased to learn that of the lots sold in the first addition not one was purchased for speculative reasons but that within tl|e course of time each and every one will be occupied by a home, which will not only do credit to the builder, but to this entire summer resort community as well. According to present plans, building operations on at least two or three of the lots will begin this fall and among the homes to be erected there will be one at least that will compare very favor ably with the finest and beet which now beautify the shores of our popular stream. Notice To the Public. Many and well founded complaints have been made for some time regarding open mufflers, reckless and fast driving, driving without lights, driving on wrong side of streets, etc. All of these law violations must cease, and at once, as I consider the safety of life and property my first duty, and secondly to uphold our town as a safe place to visit or reside in. Unless a radical improvement is experienced at once I shall resort to the law in my hands and order a motorcycle cop to restore order and security far alL SIMON STOFFEL, President Village Board. ^ f Wedding Bells? A report circulated town, Monday, that Mr. Harry Goetz, owner of Miss Modesty," the famous speed boat, and a party of Chicago friends made a flying trip to Woodstock on a very important errand.
