Freund, local dredger, has had one of his large machines going for several days, taking down high spots and level ing off a large piece of ground within the park, which will permit the parking of hundreds of additional cars. The grounds will be covered with booths, rides, games of all kinds, an athletic show, refreshments galore, in fact everything that goee to ssake a real carnival. > • Proceeds for Park -s? Remember, that every cent of the net proceeds will be used to pay off the balance on the purchase price of this memorial park. The ex-service men hope to dear the entire indebtedhess this year and then start plans. for improvements, so that eventually McHenry will have one of the finest parks to be found anywhere. There are about five acres of ground in the plot, with a creek of spring water bordering it on the south side. The patronage of the public is solicited and the splendid co-operation which has been extended to the exservice men during peat years, for which they are very grateful, will undoubtedly continue this year.
