Those who gased on the smiling faces of Legionnaires, the colorful, lively-stepping majorettes, the combined school bands in their blue uniforms, the Girl and Bey Scouts, members of the Mothers' club, the school children who distributed the flowers, and all the others who took part, could not help but realize what a blessing peace Is. After reading descriptions of the terrible plight across the sea, one could not help but imagine this parade composed of khaki clad soldiers, muddy from long tramps through fields and swamps, bent with weariness and with hardened faces, numb to all pain. ' Then the band began to play and all was bright and sunny on that delightfully cool day. In typical fashion, several children skipped gayly along with the marchers and others followed on bicycles. Many cameqt fiends were busy snapping pictures of the group. A halt was called at St. Patrick's cemetery and the little grade school children placed flowers on the graves of every war veteran. Then they proceeded to St Mary's and Woodlawn cemeteries where those graves were also decorated. More than one tear *V«M, UIUOIICU Huiu. Layu WCiTC blown as a final tribute to those brave men. Again the parader formed ranks and the procession continued. *The signal was given to strike up the band, the majorettes began twirling their batons and everyone was In swing with the festive occasion.

Perhaps one of the hardiest questions that has come before the council is that of the proper method of controlling food and beverage deliveries in the city. On Monday evening a new revision was passed. But, let's start from the beginning. The question of protecting the local merchant has long been a problerii for city councils. The local merchant feels that he is the fellow who pays the freight while the peddler takea a buggy ride. A peddler's license now in effect.In McHenry provides for a daily fee of $5.00. However, it has been known for many years that food for human consumption is more efficiently controlled through a separate ordinance. The two ordinances are not to be confused. Last year the council voted a $50.06 fee covering all retail sale of foodstuff. The move met with approval. Enforcement was made difficult through court holdings that an "exhorbitant" fee could not be approved. The question of discrimination enteral it the scene. Following the compiling of a new Municipal Code, the council saw fit to amend the ordinance to include all food and beverage deliveries in the [city of McHenry and reduced the fee to $15.00. The council anticipated po objections or difficulties in the amended plan. I Enforcement began about May L Some were willing to pay the license , fee. Others protested furiously. The i council paid little heed to the objections until local merchants expressed opinions that the plan would prove injurious to them. While there were sound arguments on both sides, the board members decided that since the whole plan was originally designed and intended to help the local merchants they would revert to the original plan of licensing onlv the retail deliveries. The annual fee wll be $26.00. Thus, a long period of fngie sion and consideration closes. Plan to Nnaber Hoases The question of house numbering again came up for discussion. Xne public property committee, consisting of Aldermen Nye, Regner and Ferwerda, was designated to proceed with the plan. The American Legion and the schools have both offered assistance in carrying out the plan. It is thought that directing strangers in the city will be greatly simplified through the numbering p.an. The council again voted to continue the plan oi playground supervision uuring the summer months. Un plan is miled out, in co-operation w|th the h^gh school and the public #«de schjioh- b. J. MeCfacken btM^ain been esqMfed as ainisf»|»r. K report iMMd that an average of eighty-five children per day were Included in the activities. One of the foremost thoughts in the justification of the program was that it keeps the children away from traffic dangers during the busy summer months. Many parents have al*o endorsed the plan of supervision at the bathmg beach. An agreement was entered into with the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois, changing the control system of street lights in the west side of McHenryr The new system will do iway with troub.esome ard out-moded time clocks now in use. The total expenditure in making the change will be $500. A new rating plan, effecting a saving of $300 per year, was the^influencing factor in making the change. Complete Country Club Road A letter from the State of Il.inois Highway Department approved the resolution to complete the Country Club road. Bids will be received and work started at the eariiest possible time. In an effort to slow down traffic coming into McHenry, the council has requested and received permission from the State Highway Department to erect an overhead flasher signal at the corner of Elm Street and Riverside Drive. 4 The street and alley committee reported plans to start work this week in repairing and oiling streets throughout the city. The E. M. Melahn Construction company has been engaged to scarify certain streets nefw in need of attention. Oil will be trucked in as needed, thus permitting the completion of each street separately. Sections will be shut off so that scarifying, oiling and sanding can be completed before traffic can undo the gooQ work. Auditor J. W. North briefly discussed the recently completed audit of city books with favorable comment on the condition of city finances. Mr. North will be present at a special meeting later in the month to thoroughly Itview tiie audit. S P E C I A L ! Matron's white hats, large /head sixes. Elizabeth Pich.
