The main topic of discussion was in connection with the ptacbue cf a police radio for the sheriff's office, however, nothing defiaiie was Mttthd. Supervisor Prank C. Ferris of Huntley said following the meeting,that he is going to ask for a vote on the question at the next session.' McHenry township is to get three different stretches <rf blacktop road under a program adopted Tuesday. One piece of road leads from the old McHenry bridge to "transformer" corner, known as the Rosedale road, a distance of a mile and a quarter. Another is a stretch leading from the west end of the Johnsburg bridge extending north one-quarter of a mile and then west one-quarter of a mile to the concrete at Hetterman's corner. The other piece is about three blocks long and extends from the old McHenry bridge south to connect with route 120. Appropriate $C£tO The county appropriated $6y2©0 for the Rosedale road job and the link connecting route 120 with the Rosedale road. No estimate is given on the Johnsburg improvement. When these improvements are made the roads will be turned over to McHenry township for upkeep. The road and bridge committee points out this will eliminate a road patrolman on these roads and will be a decided saving to the county each year. The committee also approved the repairing of the Chapel Hill road, which is in bad shape, by use of a mixed gravel and tar improvement. These improvements will link up with the McHenry township road program which is being launched this year following passage of a bond issue last year. Headmen Get Vacations The road and bridge committee approved a ten-day vacation for all ro^d employees with pay this summer. Also approved was the appropriation of |7,000 for the road and bridge committee for general expenses until the next board meeting. The monthly report of County Treasurer C. Frank Daly shows-a balance in all ftinds as of May 1 of f 139,- 496.47, as compared to $124,882.44 on April 1. Expenses during the past month amounted to $43,986.44 and receipts «f $57,800.47. Among other business discussed at tKi« time, Chairman Gilbert J. Carroll .asked permission of the board members to add the name of Supervisor Math N. Schmitt of McHenry to the flection committee. This committee, according to law, must h«£t representativpr of both majot political parties. Supervisor Schmitt i* the Democratic member with C. Parry Wright, T. F. Nolan, Frank May, J. J.

He said that in 1940 these same four tavern owners paid license fees to the village board. Speaking on the matter, Supervisor John J. Filip of Algonquin whb was a member of the license committee in 1939, said that the state liquor commission would recognize only the county board in this connection in 1939 because the organization of Lily Lake as a village was being contested in the high court. He also said that it must be returned to the tavern owners. Several other supervisors were of the same opinion. The county board referred the request of Attorney Fish to the license i committee together with State's Attorney William M.

MISS MAY JUSTEN TO HEAD REGISTRATION OF HOME ECONOMISTS HERE The American people-are working on a vast ahd compftCfealfcive program to prepare this country for any defense emergency. In line with this policy, the 1940 convention of the American Home Economics association meeting at Cleveland voted to conduct a nation-wide emergency registration of trained home economists throughout the forty«eight states. Each state is conducting its own registration. The Illinois registration is in charge of Dorothy Kellar, home economies department, Lonphier high school, Springfield, and MiSs Lillian Stevenson, Department of Home Economics, University of Chicago, Chicago. . This registration is being made MTT-* 10 CENTS ABOVE againfcthe time when a definite call jUJtOH PUCK or AKEAtt! !**" for national defense comes. On Friday night, May 28, at 8:00 o'clock, the pupils of St. Mary - St. Patrick school will present "Jack and the Beanstalk," an operetta in three acts, at the McHenry Community High school auditorium. This favorite story of childhood with its jolly, make-believe theme will be interpreted by an all-school cast. The plot wiil be embellished by troops of entertainers who perform at the fair where Jack sells his "good cow." Yes, Jack's cow is to appear in person. Don't miss seeing her. Modern is this good domestic animal even to the point of tap dancing. Henrietta, the marvelous hen, that produces the golden eggs will perform her wonders before your very eyes. Many another surprise awaits the public who will witness this thrilling story. All this is to be climaxed by the appearance of the fierce ogre. When the curtain is drawn on Jack's final victory, we know that those who attend will revert to their childhood and with wonder-wide eyes renew their earnest plea, "Tell us again." A matinee will be given for pupils of the grade school on Friday, May 28, at 1:30 p.m. * First Communion Day Fourteen little boys and girls received their first Holy Communion Sunday at the 8:30 Mass at St. Mary's church and ten at the 8 o'clock Mass at St. Patrick's church. The little girls approached the altar in white dresses and veils, signifying their innocence, while thw boys fervently received the Body and Blood of Christ in dark suits and white blouses. At St. Mary's church, Bernard Peschke and James Weber, the little flower boys, ushered the six boys in the Communion class. The latter were Gerald Wegener, Donald Freund, James Kennebeck, Richard Michels, Paul Brefeld and George Brefeld. Shirley Wegener and Mary Jane Gerasch, wearing floor length pink dresses and each carrying a bouquet of flowers, led the following Com municants: Dolores Diedrich, Cheryl May, Joan Brefeld, Mary Kay Freund, Dorothy Blake, Betty Schmitt, Rosina Curran and Joan Freund. Richard Norsworthy and Jack Wirtz were the little flower boys and Patricia Nixon and Doris Ann Justen the flower girls at St. Patrick's church. The First Communion class consisted of John Knox. John Hobbs, Donald Phalin, John Weber, Mary Ann Bolger, Mary Miller, Lottie Nogan, Rite Bolger, Eva Unti and Mary Heuser. In this way the association will know when and where to reach home econ omists in every state as soon as it has been determined what shall be their special role Few official plans for the social welfare part of the total defense have been released, but that does not mean that the Council of National Defense and its Advisory Commission are not aware of its importance. The even more urgent need for armed defense has rightly been given precedence. 8 WONDER LAKE BOYS FIGURE IN ACCIDENT Teddy Juergensohn, Dwain Fossler and Bob VanBampus, all of Wonder Lake,.were victims in an auto accident last Wednesday afternoon near the Sherman Brown farm on route 120 near Woodstock, when the car in which they were riding, driven by Van Banipus, crashed into a culvert to avoid hitting a truck. The truck had stopped to allow a second truck to turn into the Brown farm yard. The accident took place during a heavy rain storm, making visibility very poor. Fossler and the driver escaped without injuries although the windshield was shattered. Juergensohn, riding alone in the back seat, received several gashes- and though unconscious when picked up, is recovering nfcely. All three boys are enrolled at the Woodstock Community High The executive committee of the AHEA has appointed as chairman of a Washington "lookout" committee D>. Louise Stanley of the United States Bureau of Home Economics to keep in tonea with national developments. Whatever may happen, one tiling, is evident: it is necessary to know where to And home economists for this kind of service. There is no doubt that they can do much for "behind the lines" defense by their coptfibutions' to improvement of national health, morale, and family life. These home economist* will be needed principally for work in their own local communities. This Illinois directory will contain the names not only of the eight hundred members of the Illinois Home Economics association, but of all trained home economists Who can be reached. Women who were trained in home economics while in college or professional schools are urged to register for this national directory for emergency service. It is not necessary to be professionally employed at this time. The State of Illinois is divided Into districts. Miss May t!. Justen of McHenry is in charge of the registration in our community. If you are eligible to register, send information to Miss Justen or request her to send you a registration card. 2,259 COUNTY FARMERS SICIN9D UP WITH AAA* ^ PROORAM THIS JEA^ Eighty-five per C«nt «f th« croplands13 in McHenry cotJflty will be farmed this year in co-ope ration With the 1941 AAA program, according to Bert Bridges, chairman of the county agricultural conservation committee. Final report on the sign-up-drive conducted by county and township committeemen shows that 2,259, or 82.5 of the county's 2.788 farms, will be m the program, with participation covering 198,598 out of a possible 247,890 acres of cropland. The signup campaign ended May 1 and the number enrolled shows a decided increase over last year, according to Bridges. • In a statement to co-operators he urged them to comply with AAA regulations as fully as possible and particularly to keep corn production within fixed allotments. Compliance with corn allotments will not conflict with the food for defense plan of increaspgj hog, dairy, and poultry production!, he pointed out, because farmers who need extra corn for feeding purposes can draw on ever-normal granary reserves. DRAFT BOARDS GIVEN NOTICE TO DISPENSE WITH MONTH'S QUOTA Official notices were sent out last Wednesday to McHenry county draft boards stating that there will be no May quota. It had been rumored for a week or more previous to the official notice that this would happen. Director Paul Armstrong informed the boards that by the middle of May the June quota would be out giving both board3 plenty of time to get all set for the June contingent which is expected to be heavy. Lack of facilities at army camps for handling draftees at the rate which has been in effect for the past two months is given for the reason for the drastic cut in some counties and the elimination of quotas in others according- to Director Armstrong. The elimination of the May quota in most all downstate counties means that the state's quota for the year of 62,223 men set by the selective service officials will not be filled according to Director Armstrongs, * INTEflEsS NEARBY NEWS Harvard police will confiscate all air gilns and rifles in Harvard carried by boys and girls not accompanied by parents, according to an edict issued Wednesday morning, May 7. The drastic order followed discovery that an eleven-year-old grade school boy had caused $200 damage to plate glass windows in the 10.0. F. hall and the Sweeney bufidmg with an air gun of the pump type that morning. . A pair of robins, who have established a home in a juniper tree in the yard of the A. C. Van Cure residence, LaGrange, made news last week because of the unusual construction of their nest. The nest has as its main support a loop of string which hangs down from a higher branch, the lower end of the loop having been woven into the nest. Just how the string got tied and got looped around the branch and then was used as a support for the nest isn't all clear. Crystal Lake and surrounding waters got 2,000,000 baby wall-eyed pike Sunday, May 4, part of a hatch of 25,000,000 at the Spring Grove hatchery operated by the Illinois Conservation Department. In keeping with the policy of the department, the distribution Was under the direction of officers of the McHenry County Sportsmen's League and officers of the affiliated chapters. Times have changed--but definitely. A persual of the 1910 Revised Statutes of the City of Woodstock, which is being revised for the first time in thirty-one years will convince anyone that Woodstock has progressed. For example, Chapter XIX, section one, said quite definitely that it shall be Unlawful for any person or persons to drive or ride any ftorse or horj,., or -ahlms! upon 6r along the Streets of Woodstck at a rate of speed exceeding TEN flnHee an hour." William Zelsdorf 28, son of Albert Zelsdorf of Palatine, was struck and killed Sunday evening.

Thursday the IHfapia homn approved a proposal which will pav$ the way to empower the state generdt assembly to exempt food from thpstate sales tax. The vote was 129 to ifv The measure now goes to the senata. The house action was the first step taken toward fulfilling Gov. Dwight H. Green's campaign pledge to take the sales tax off food. Sole dissenting vote was by Rep. Thomas A. Bolger, McHenry county Democrat. The mea|> ure's Author is Rep. Frank Houcek, Cicero Republican If approved by the senate, the resolution directs state officials to plaoe on the ballot of the 1942 senatorial election a proposal to allow the geii-r eral assembly to amend the constitii* tion so as to permit the levying of a sales tax with food sales exempted. Provisions of the present constitution prohibit the legislature from exempting food from the retailers' occupational sales tax law. The propose^ amendment would not make it maildatory for the legislature to exempt : food from the tax but would merely allow it to do so if it saw fit. Pass Other Measures The administration's measures to combine Illinois' crime and fire fight* ing agencies into a Hew state depart*. ment of public safety and to recoifc* struct the state parole system were clear last Thursday of last legislative obstacles. - The senate voted 35 to 5 in favor of < the measure setting up the pablie safety department, and 26 to 20 fog the bill granting judges power te make "advisory recommendations" for maximum and minimum sentencea within the bounds set by the indetet* minate sentence acts. ^ They now go to Gov. Green who (S expected to sign them as soon as the attorney general's office verifies their constitutionality. Aside from the stats defense council act, the measures ate the first sponsored by the ad ministry tion to achieve final enactment. Three main divisions would be ej|^: tablished--law enforcement, fire prevention and corrections . In the latter category would he placed the superi^t tendents of prisons, pardons, and paf>;. oles, supervision of parolees, anf' crime prevention, and the state criminologist. The five heads of these subdivisions, would serve as the parole board. In the measure allowing judges ta make recommendations'for maximum and minimum sentences, it is provided that written approval of the public safety department and concurrence of four of the five parole board members hn seji jodflT®^' »ee«nmend*. tioni."" * .

State's Attorney William M. Carroll issued a warrant charging assault against Earl Zimmerman, 22, of near Woodstock, in connection with the incident. The story is that Zimmerman started an argument with his girl friend in the tavern and was ordered to leave by Mr. Ferris. Outside the tavern the two, it is said, continued the argument and'that Zimmerman struck the girl Ferris then called Marshal Schuring. When Schuring arrived, it is said, that Zimmermann struck him and in falling he fractured his leg. Schuring is about fifty-five years old. Zimmermann has been in trouble with the law before.
