WE IE KECK ANSWERS SUMMONS Mrs. Weir Keck, 36 years old, died at the home of her mother, Mrs. Anna Knox, on Friday afternoon, April 29, after three months of failing health. On January IS she underwent an operation at Sherman hospital, Elgin, and since that time her loved ones knew that there was no chance for recovery from her (treaded malady, although she did not know the seriousness of her condition and remained hopeful for recovery to the end. Theresa Knox was born in McHenry :>n June 28, 1895, where most of her lifetime was spent and where she had many friends For eleven years she was a valued assistant at the ,3 V > adjoin each other on the Spring Grove road and may be seen just after turning north from the pavement before reaching Rmgwood. Joseph Justen originally owned nearly 70© acres along this highway, which have been divided among his children, Ben, Nick, Michael, Jacob and Christjne, now Mrs. Henry J. Stilling, making each onKa farm of good size, to which some of them have added more acreage. One might travel for many miles before again she worked for about ejght years in the loOal Bel' telephone exchange, where she was assistant chief operator during the last year of her work there.' - . On Sept. 18, 1929, she was united iii marriage to Weir Keck, the ceremony being performed at S£ Patrick's church by Father O'Rourke, who also officiated at her last sad rites. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Keck moved to Waukegan, where they resided' for a short time and where she was employed in the telephony office «• cjfy They later returned to seeing a group of five farm homes „M c„H enry, wher . . , e they have since re^ - presenting the same beautiful ap- sided. * ^ pearance that there farms do and one judges almost immediately that they ; are owners who enjoy their homes and "• enjoy the work of improving them. The first farm one passes as thgy U!»: She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Anna Knox, her husband, Weir KetUt, two sisters, Mrs- Vera Laures, McHenry, and Mrs. Anna Winkelman of trwel a'o^ the w*ll-kept j Melrose Park, and two brothers, d toad; • : is that of Henry J. Stilling, who married Christine Justen. This farm •mi § -• bears the name of "Woodlawn Farm" and presents a most attractive picture with its white painted buildings' and - modern equipment. This farm was originally 128 acres, but Mr. and Mrs. •: Stilling have purchased the adjoining Tonyan farm, wlr'ch now give? them 300 acres to carry on. Last fall they set out an orchard of about forty trees on the Tonyan farm with a row of evergreens set to s£rve as a wind- "break for the orchard, resembling the row of large pines protecting the i. grounds and the home. Mrs. Stilling employs her spare ; time in making an elaborate rock garden and pool with a bridge and - trickling water, all of which has been VT made without expense, the rocks and * stores being gathered on their own farm land. The bridge is most realistic with it9 railing as it crosses one «nd of the pool, while at the other ' ; end of the pool is a small island with * a Dutch windmill and a little everl green growing on it, most natural and iC- realistic. The owner has fenced off his yard ™ the vicinity of the dwelling which "#(' gives the place a well-kept, clean appearance. He has used an attractive ,* type of fence and large pillars of concrete blocks mark the drive and the entrance. At both gateways the pillars are surmounted by large ground glass globes containing ele-trie lights, which light the road as well as the grounds. Henry. Funeral services were held at St. Patrick's church at 10 o'clock Monday morning with Father O'Rourke officiating and speaking beautiful words of tribute and comfort. Burial was in St. Patrick's cemetery, where she was carried to her final resting place by Richard Overton, Elmer Freund, Harold Bacon, Mike Butler, Quentin Walsh and Louis Young, who acted as pallbearers. Honorary pallbearers were four of her associates in the telephone ofTice, Emily Stoffel, Emily Lawson, Lillian Stilling and Loretta Steffes and also Rose Landgren and Vera Buss. Out-of-town friends and relatives who attended the funeral Monday morning were: Mr. and Mirs. A. F. Keck, Pierson, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Keck, Minneapolis; Mr^. Kathrine FJynn and daughter, Mary, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jackwirth and Mrs. George Schlitt of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Leon Worrel, Mr. and Mrs. William Herold, Mr. and Mrs. N. C.

The program , was varied with songs, recitations, tap corners are the farms of Ben Justen j dances and gymnastics and selections and Jacob Justen, the latter :>ejn£> j by the high school orchestra and Mis? carried on by another brother, Will Justen. Jacob Justen's farm is about 170 acres and he is also tne owner of another beautiful farm near the McHenry golf course, where his cream color buildings and neat grounds carry out the same well-kept appearance and where he makes his home. The Ben Justen farm consists of 150 acres and has been increased by more acreage near Ringwood. Mr. and Mrs. Justen are deeply interested in their home and have improved their grounds t>y setting out ehrubs, building pergolas, and making an extensive rock garden with flagstone walk and a pool over which a stone bridge is made and under which the gold fish li'ie tc hide. Later on Minnich's Syncopators A dental health play entitled "Grandfather Molar" impressed many important health facts upon everyone who heard it as Well as being most enwcitanung. The program opened with two selections by the kindergarten rhythm orchestra, which is always greatly enjoyed. Health week in McHenry will be remembered by the children in the facts impressed upon them by the play. The proceeds from the play will be used in corrective health work.1' ,* - - s.-'- Remember Mother Mother Sunday, RESIDENCE CHANGES Mr. and Mrs. Cloice Wagner and the rocks will be ablaze with vellow f, amily mov^ed this week from the cotpoppies which are already beginning j ge "^ar the Empire theatre to the to spring up among the tiny cedar and evergreen trees, iris and other • - perennials which fcrow among, the 1 rocks. r-H&i Mr. Justen is the owner of a fine V £ herd of pure bred Holsteins and ranks ,f; ***- high in the county tests. -• ' The surroundings of these farm ,3 *-, 'J- homes illustrate how to make an ordinary rural dwelling both attractive ikui. *nd distinctive.

Admission 25 cents . * • * The first stated meeting for the fiscal year 1932-33 of the city council of McHenry was called to order at 8 o'clock Monday evening, May 2, with all aldermen and officers present, with the exception of the youngest member, who is away on a honeymoon trip. The reading and approving of the minutes of the previous meeting was the first order of business which was followed by the reading of the city treasurer's report, showing a balance on hand at the beginning of the meeting of $3,134.32. The clerk's report showed collections of $71.50. Regular bills of $536 34 were read and approved as OK'd by the finance committee. There were no reports from the officers. The mayor appointed Barbian, Schaefer and Kreutzer as a police commission. Their first work is to get an estimate on. the cost of erection and maintenance of a large light placed high in the air, possibly on the standpipe for the purpose of signalling police officers locally and from other points when necessity requires, the light only shining at such times. Kreutzer brought up the question of appointment of Peter Wirfs as a special night watchman for the places of business on the west side, Mr. Wirfs to be paid -by the business men themselves, but as the city has no special ordinance stating the bonds of special police officers the matter was delayed until such an ordinaj}C§/may be regularly passed. Several ordinances were separately' read and passed, first, fixing the salary of city attorney at $200 per fiscal year; second, the salary of the superintendent of water works at $60 per month; third, salary of city collector at two per cent of all money collected, as well as special assistant salary $hen necessary; fourth and last, filing the salary of the city marshal at $135 per month. A further ordinance, appointing Mayor Knox, Overton and Kreutzer as members of the board of local improvements, was passed as read. A letter to the mayor and aldermen, making a bid for the auditing of the books for $100 was read and tabled as the auditor had already been hired.. Ben J. Dietz presented a plat and petition to the board for the purpose of erecting a filling station at the corner of Elm and Court streets- He expects to take down a part of and remodel the house to install the pumps. His petition carried the names of some twenty nearby property owners. On the ballot Kreutzer voted no and the others yes, thereby permission was granted. So far, the meeting was conducted along regular lines and without much undue excitement, but at this point Charles F. Pich, representing a group of some fifty to sixty daylight savers, presented a petition to the aldermen, carrying 390 signatures or a majority of the largest ballot ever polled in a McHenry city election, for the adoption of daylight saving. To report what happened in the next hour is impossible for lack of space and from the fiery oratory of some it would be necessary to use asbestos paper. Anyway, the facts remain that the petition of the majority of the voters petitioning the board to advise the citizens of McHenry to go on daylight saving for the year was rejected by the aldermen and the petition was tabled. HOME BUREAU ^ ELECTS OFFICERS T!h* Ringwood unit of the Home Bu. reau met at the home of Mrs. C. E. Martin Tuesday afternoon with eleven members and seven vTsitors present- Roll call was responded to with candy and dessert recipes. The health chairman, Mrs. C. L. Harrison, gave an article on "Is Your Home Life Safe For Your Family?" . and the home management chairman, Mrs. Jepson, talked oti clothes racks and bars. The community interest chairman, Mrs. E A.

Lieut. Stewart is the Chicago representative of the company. The high wind on Saturday made ilying difficult but the pilot of the ;£>lane, William Klingenberg, of the Elgin airport, ascended to 2,800 feet, imd slowed down to about forty-five tniles an hour when the jump was inade. Mr. Matthews walks out, onto the Wing of the plane and then jumps and when asked what his sensations were he said that events move so swiftly that there was no time to analyze feelings, but that the one main thought and perhaps the only thought uppermost in his mind was to pull the rip cord at the proper second, for iipon that one act depends the life of the jumper. Although the general t-ule is to jump, count seven, and pull the cord, yet Mr. Matthews depends on his judgment of time rather than counting and so far, has been successful. The descent on Saturday was an unlusually fast one, the 2,800 feet being made in one and a quarter minutes jhvhen usually the average speed of the ichute is about one thousand feet per minute. During the drop, Matthews drifted about half a mile due to the high wind; and found it necessary to drift into a barb wire fence near the golf course to keep from landing in WEEKLY EXCHANGE ' ITEMS OF INTEREST - + TAKEN FROM COLUMNS * OF OUR EXCHANGES Daylight saving is no* in force fa* the village, of Grayslake and although no official edict has been issuad, practically all business houses, the farm organizations, gelatin plant and commuters are using the fast time.
