Mr, Hughes said bulletins are being sent to police chiefs advising them to begin a drive against motorists who continue to use old plates on their cars.

McHenry county's initial quota of new passenger automobiles under federal rationing regulations has been set at sixty-three for the three - month period March 2 - May 31. The McHenry county rationing board, consisting of Grove Chittenden, chairman, and Fred J. Carroll and Herman C. Doe ring, has been authorized to issue purchase permits, to qualified individuals, business concerns, public agencies, and others, for this total of automobiles, providing same are available to buyers. The first Illinois quota for new automobiles has been set at 8,789 units for the March - May period. March 2 was the first date upon which applications for new passenger cars could be filled with local rationing boards. Until then, the boards received only applications for deliveries of new cars bought in good faith, but not delivered, before Jan. 1, 1942, when the office of price administration ^froxe" automobile deliveries. Eligibility list The official list of those eligible to purchase new cars, virtually identical with those qualified under the new tire "CAMEL CAR" WILL DEMONSTRATE NEW LUBRIGAS MARCH 6 - 7 , i AH engine-lubricating gasoline that guarantees more mileage and smoother operation, with no damaging overheating; is being introduced to McHenry motorists this week. It is called "Lubri-Gas." First to get it in MeHenry territory is the Freund Oil Co., West McHenry; Victor Freund, on Route SI; R. I. Overton Motor Sales, West McHenry, and J. C. Pearson, Ringwood. Some of the amtsing properties claimed for this fuel are being dramatized in * "Camel-Car," a car that is being driven all over the nation without water. In fact ft has no radiator at all. "Of course w» tkmt advocate driving your car without water," said Mr. Freund, of the iFreund Oil Co., while talking to a Plaindealer representative, "but it can be done--and without harm to your engine. The trick is in the gas itself, into which, through our special process, a lubricating base of the finest oil has been mixed. The oil lubricates the top part of the cylinders better than any oher system can do it, without producing carbon. Since this thorough lubrication means less friction, and since less friction means less heat, it is easy to see how this amazing new gas can keep your motor cool-running and efficient. The engine walls simply cannot get hot enough to boil water in the radiator." About that aforementioned friction, here's an angle Mr. Freund brought out: At forty miles per hour, for instance, fifty per cent of the power generated in the engine is used to overcome engine friction, and eighty SEVEN MUSICAL ENTRIES GIVEN FIRST DIVISION SECTIONAL CONTS8S • APRIL 18 V' 13 John Smith, 78, died Friday, Feb. 27, 1942, in Chicago.

Fred Yegge of Chicago, uncle of Norbert Yegge of this city, died last ; Friday, Feb. 27, in Chicago where he resided at the Ambassador Hotel. Survivors include his wife, Ida; two sons, Harold F. and Charles F. Yegge, Jr.; four sisters, Mrs. Irene Diehl, -- Anna Yegge, Mrs. Bertha Davis and Mrs. Nellie Dale, and two brothers, Robert M. and Leo Yegge. Funeral services were held Monday at 10 a. m. from the chapel at 928 way. Her husband died almost instantly following the crash in which his car was demolished and thrown down an embankment near the crossing. The victim of the accident was a carpenter by trade and had lived in Crystal Lake a number of year?. i DAMAGE SUIT A suit asking $10,000 damages for personal injuries and property damages to an automobile was filed by Jerry Kadlec against Blanche Mc- Guire. The plaintiff charges he received injuries in a crash on route 14 near Cary on Nov. 6, 1941, when his car and a car driven by the defendant collided. The plaintiff charges negligence on the part of the dafendant. follows: Physicians, surgeons, visiting nurses and I arm veterinarians. Clergymen. Institutions needing ambulances. Fire fighters and police officers requiring cars for official duty; other public health and safety officials. Persons carrying mail under government contract. Licensed jitney, tax), or similar transportation operators. Persons using cars in connection with essential construction, maintenance and repair services. Executives, technicians, engineers, lubrication is least efficient. And that, he said, explains why cars using "Lubri-Gas" can get from five to twenty-five per cent more mileage. The famous "Camel-Car" will be in McHenry this weekend, Friday and Saturday, March 6 and 7. Read the announcement in the advertising columns of this issue of The Plaindealer. Another honor befell the local high school last Saturday as several instrumental and vocal soloists and ensemble groups proved their ability to compete successfully against other schools of the same or larger sixe. Of the ten entries from McHenry, seVen brought home gold medals for placing in the first division for Class C schools, and even those not placed in this division ranked well. In the instrumental solo division, Bonnie Page took high honors with her clarinet rendition of "Une Pensee Lontalne." Bonnie's musicianship was especially commended in the judges' report on her playing. Elaine Landgren who was entered in the cornet division, won high honocs for her rendition of the difficult solo, "Bride of the Waves" by Herbert L. Clarke. Besides being placed in the first division, Elaine was especially honored in being one of the few who had "none" written under "weak points" on her criticism. Her expert tongue and finger technique were given special mention.
