THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1940 No.f LOCAL BOY HAS THRILLING WEEK AT BOYS' STATE iLEOTED MAYOR CITY OF HIS V Loren McCannon of Klngwood(tirho wit graduated from the McHenry Community High school with the class of 1940, enjoyed the experience of a lifetime last week when he was sent • by the McHenry Post, American Legion, to attend Boys' State at Springfield, 111. This Was the first time McHenry ever sent a representative to •Itend this annual activity. Accompanying three delegates from . Crystal Lake, Loren left Chicago by train at 11:40 a.m., Saturday morning, June 22. There were approximately fifteen cars on this train, filled with boys who were headed for this ' same destination. Upon arriving at the State Fair grounds where almost the entire pro- ' gram is conducted, the boys were submitted to a physical examination. Throughout the week then, the 1,500 boys were put through a vigorous routine of school work, governmental proceedings, elections of officers, lectures and a splendid recreational program. This is to give these future lawmakers of our country a basic idea . of how the government of their city, county and state is conducted, Series of Elections Elections played a big part in the goings on of this community of boys. The parties were designed by the number of the boys' bunks, the odd numbers being Federalists and the even being Nationalists. Each of the ten dormitories comprised a county and there were four cities in each . county. Each city again was divided Into four wards. During the first day a slate of nominees for city officials was drawn up. ' Ot> the following day the general city elections were hqld and Loren wias elected mayor of his •particular city. Hi* duties then were to appoint the police officers, health commissioner, fire chief, city attorney and other officers, to be in charge of the council meetings of his city and to help make the laws concerning the government df that city. On the afternoon following the city election, the county nominations were made. Our representative from McHenry was nominated as Senator from the third district. Each ward in each city comprised a district. There were - also two representatives elected from Hcb district. ^ Chosen as Senator The county elections provided no little excitement the next day. Loren again came through, being the popular choice for senator from his district. Meeting with such success, he deettwt to further his ambitions and mn for Superintendent of Public Int* oction. With this he started his Campaign, making and posting signs, going from dormitory to dormitory and getting acquainted ^frith the boys aiid in general, making himself known abound the grounds. "In spite of this brilliant campaign, t Loren vas defeated in tl)e primary elections but gained a wealth of know, ledge and exnerience. The laws for Boys' State are made the same as in the Illinois legislature. Bilk are put up before the Senate and must be nassed by this body and also by the House of Representatives before becoming a law. They are voted upon the same as in the regular state government. Thus, in the same election that Loren was defeated for Superintendent of Public Instruction, he was elected minority leader or spokesman .in the Senate. i The results of the general elections the following day showed the Federalists to have captured the first four offices in the state, whereas they had heretofore been overpowered by the Nationalists in every election. Officers Installed -- On Thursday night the state officers were installed by John Stelle, Lieutenant Governor of Illinois, and the city officers were installed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court at Boys' State in 1939. Not all of this crowded week was •pent in electing officers. Two general assemblies were held each day at which time lectures and movies were presented to the boys. A federal agent showed moving pictures and spoke at one such meeting on how to apply for federal agent work, the training required, etc. Chuck Ryan, sports anhouncer, was the main speaker at another of these sessions, presenting moving pictures of National and Ajmerican league baseball. Still another interesting session was conducted by an officer of the Coast Guard who showed pictures of the training and life of a Coast Guard. (That the boys might get a glimpse of Springfield itself, two trips were made daily, each county taken separately, on a tour of the city. They were shown through the capitol, the Centennial building, Lincoln's tomb ' and Lincoln's home. * On Friday afternoon the essay contest winner and the oratorical con- Ytfeni winner were aw titled their {prizes'." \H»e winning oration was delivered at Lincoln's tdmb. The Boys' State bShd played a few selections and all the , h|gher officers of this youthful gathering were present. Four Training Courses l%e school work which was mentioned in the beginning of the article twk one and a half hours each day for four days. There were four courser of training to choose from, these concerning peace officers, election of officials, law school and civil service. Loren chose the former for his special training. Lest the fine recreational program be slighted, Loren tells us that work was put aside from 2:30 to 5:30 each day and the boys indulged in a bit of baseball, volley ball, boxing, track^ archery and basketball. Some of the boys who were running for special of* fices carried on their campaigns during this time. And so, just a week after he left, Loren returned to his home last Saturday, heartily thankful to the American Legion for having given him this wonderful opportunity. Since the American Legion of Illinois originated Boys' State six years ago, there have been thirty-five states which took up the practice. During the first year it was held, the handful of boys used cattle pens as dormitories. Now there is a $700,000 build* ing containing an auditorium, dormitories, a large cafeteria, the Senatethe House of Representatives and the Supreme Court room of Boys' State. AROUND THE , COURTHOUSE DilVOBCE BILL" Bernetta Hubert filed suit for divorce against John Hubert in the circuit court at Woodstock Friday. They were married December 1, 1937. Cruelty is charged in the bill. The Huberts reside in McHenry. CONTINUE CASE The statutory charge against Harold Scott of Crystal Lake was continued by Justice Charles F. Hayes last Thursday until July |3. Bond was set at $1,000.

CQNTINUE C408 RECEIVE $1.68 FOB JUNE MILK . IN THIS ABEA 3 CENTS LOWER MAY MILK THAN A~W»Co!ebank, acting market ed- . _ ministrator, announced Monday thatjj*^* the class I price for June deliveries of milk in the Chicago marketing area is $1.68 per hundredweight (3.61 per quart), while the class II price is $1.48 per hundredweight. The class III prices are $1.23 per hundredweight for evaporated and condensed , and $1,103 per hundredweight for all other uses in class III. There is no change in the price of milk used for relief purposes. It is established at $1,395 per hundredweight (3 cents per quart) by the order. These are the prices that dealers pay for milk, according to usage. They are based on the evaporated code price plus class differentials established by the order. For June deliveries, these differentials over the evaporated code price amount to forty-five cents per hundredweight in class I and twentyfive cents per hundredweight in class II. All class prices for June deliveries CAMP LOWDEN TO WELCOME SCOUTS BEGINNING JULY 7 The new Boy Scout Camp Reservation-- Camp Lowden--officially opens for Boy Scout Troops of the Blackhawk Area Council Sunday afternoon, July 7.

Productions will be professionally mounted in an unique setting among summer theatres, a real honest-to-goodness theatre. A repertoire of eight plays will include the best known of the late Broadway hits. A novel addition to summer theatres will be a weekly Saturday matinee of children's plays. The Woodstock Players are formed from a group which performed successfully in the opera house during the season of 1938. They will be augmented this season by many well known young actors and actresses of the stage, radio and screen. The first play of the season, to be produced on July 5, 6 and 7, will be "Kiss the Boys Good-bye" by Clare Booth, and will be directed by Miss Jean David. On July 12, 13 and 14, the play "A Murder Has Been Arranged" will be staged.

McQuenny case against McHenry county Monday afternoon when both sides agreed to waive any right to appeal a judgment of $7,000 agreed on between opposing sides in the circuit court at Woodstock before Judge Ralph J. Dady. The case was inherited by State's Attorney William M. Carroll when he went into office approximately four years ago. It had been on the docket for several years previous to the Carroll administration and had been passed and delayed from time to time in hopes of some kind of a settlement Monday when the case was called and testimony at the start disclosed that McQueeny apparently had a closed case against the county which might result in a judgment for the entire claim of $12,674.47 (plus interest since back in 1927) the county legal department immediately went into a huddle to determine whether a settlement of some kind could be made to evade paying some $18,000 should the court decide in favor of McQueeny. The fact McQueeny a few weeks ago won a verdict in Whiteside county in a similar case did not encourage county officials to continue to fight the claims.

Emmett F. Byrne, prominent Chicago lawyer and former assistant United States prosecutor, has been secured by Pokershing to defend him. Attorney Byrne asked the court if it would not be possible to have the $15,000 bail, set by the court when the indictment was returned against Pokershing, reduced. After considerable talk on the question it was disclosed to the court that £hristine Pokershing, who is the complaining witness in the state's case, has ¥eco%- ered from the asault to such an extent she is out of danger of losing her life and is up and around again. The court then lowered the bail to $6,000. FIRST SIX MONTHS SHOW INCREASE IN ward. The tall prisoner, once sen tcnced to die in the electric chair for the slaying, was not asked to enter a plea.

Charles W. Hadley, of Wheaton. That his employment was legal is a matter of record both in the Woodstock circuit court and in t^ie records of the county board of supervisors who backed the Hadley investigate by resolution in a board meeting. A large majority of the present members of the county board agreed on the settlement Monday not because they thought McQueeny really had the money coming but because there seemed to be no other way out of the matter. Some of the members were on the board at the time of the investigation while mothers joined in recent years. It was the genera] opinion among the board members as they left the court room Monday that the whole investigation was a farce and a costly one to the county, but it is now water over the dam. Inherited by Carroll ; A coincident in the ca.«e wa« the fact the man who had to clean up the case was the man who was defeated for state's attorney back in 1924 by the man who reallv started the case. We refer to A. H. Pouse. who was successful in the 1924 campaign against Carrol] for state's, attori^ev but who in 1926 threw qp the spenge after employing McQueeny and left for parts unknown. He returned a "few years later after being a fugitive from justice but no charge was ever pressed against him although he was under indictment at one time in the county. McQueeny's total claim against the county was $24,494.49 of which he had received some $11,920 prior to Monday's judgment against the county for $7,000 making a total of $18,920 he collected for his work in the investigation. This amount was only a drop in the bucket compared to the total expense of the investigation. * Others to receive money for work included Hadley and several other special prosecutors and special deputy sheriffs. Even a special judge was called in to hear some of the cases. Out of the investigation a number of cases were tried and the defendants convicted and sentenced to serve jail terms and to pay fines, many of which were never paid. Other defendants pleaded guilty.. Fines ard forfeitures amounting to some $30,000 were col-* lected. That there were violations of the prohibition law in th® county at the time i< true, but the fact remains hat there were violations of this same • law in almost every nook and corner of the nation at the same time. But today, some thirteen years after the investigation, it seems pretty tough to have to dig down in the county treasury for $7,000 to pay up the debt of the special probe.
