All your favorite Agent for WHITMAN MARTHA JULIA KING'S t!AWBY The McHenry Druggist While McHenry and vicinity experienced a safe and sane Fourth of July, citizens and the large added summer population escaping serious injury, either from the shooting of fireworks, auto accidents or drownings, other nearby communities" were reported not so fortunate. While the weather on the big national holiday was threatening with shower andl heavy rainfall in the| morning yet it did not cause any noticeable decrease in the explodes of Chicagoans from the city to the country and the weather over the weekend was ideal for the enjoyment of the sports apd amusements of the country. Those 'who were not motoring found pleasure in fishing, boating, swimming or playing golf and the many golf grounds In this region all entertained hundreds of visitors over the Fourth and the weekend. Last year the day was the occasion of several drownings in Fox River and extreme high water was caused by torrential rains in this locality, but this year very normal conditions existed with no casualities and just enough rain to keep the temperature at an enjoyable height. Traffic Is Heavy Traffic through McHenry was as heavy as in former years, if not more so, as Route 61 brought many motorists through this city in addition to the other routes which have been open for a longer time. Extra police were appointed by the city to handle the traffic and with the men stationed at the various busy corners in the city the traffic was handled in an orderly manner. The celebration of the Fourth at McHenry was probably the safest experienced here in recent years with fewer accidents reported. Although there was a great deal of shooting of fireworks and firecrackers those participating in this amusement were lucky to get away with it safely and probably used more care in the handline of the fireworks. It was a safe and sane Fourth, also, insofar as the fire department was concerned for there were no fires, the rain helping in this respect. While we were fortunate in this locality and know, very little of the suffering caused ill other communities yet America surrendered 159 lives to tile observance of its one hundred and fifty-third anniversary on Thursday..; The fourth of July death list this year was forty-six under 1928, the reduction being attributable chiefly to the decrease in the number of deaths from drowning and from heat. In only one division did ttie 1929 fatalities exceed last year's and that was in automobile accidents with 70 fatalities this year as compared to 54 last year. Fireworks in themselves continued to play a smaller part in the nation's independence day death toll. Only seven fatalities from this cause were reported this year as compared with eleven in 1928. Drownings were responsible for the largest loss of life, as they were last year, but, even so, there were thirtyfive less deaths from this cause than a year ago. Nearly one-third of the country's death toll was taken by the middlewest. The middle Atlantic states which last year led the country in deaths with sixty-eight, had thirty less this year, although more than half the deaths from fireworks occurred ta that section. One death occurred at Woodstock as the result of an automobile accident on fourth of July night. Miss Florence Rossman died at the Woodstock hospital Friday from injuries received in an auto collision which occurred east of Woodstock Thursday night. Drownings Numerous Anthony ODond, 10 years old, of Villa Park was drowned in a drainage ditch south of Villa Park. He had been fishing along the banks of the ditch when he slipped and fell into the deep current.
