wm Pact tlx THE McHENRY PLAINDEALXR 1 • r - * - lf Thursday, August 31, 1944 Gov. Green Sparks State War Effort As the second war Governor.of UlitIK> is in the present century, Dwight 'I!. Green has been responsible for ! placing the full force of his execu- (tive ability behind the state and national war effort. As Governor and las chairman of the Illinois War Council he has, since December 7, 1941, devoted a good share of his time to war activities on the home front. • In addition to serving as leader in i Various war bond, salvage and releriiiling campaigns he has directed I the state's Civilian Defense program and has been successful in speeding up war industries in the Prairie State. A veteran ef World War I, Governor Green was one of the first state executives in the nation to sponsor a state-tokie program to consider the problem of the returning GOV. DWIGHT H. GREEN soldier from the current global struggle. Developed by the Governor's Committee on Veterari Rehabilitation and Employment, this program has served as a model for other states and it bears the approval of the American Legion and other veti. «ran agencies. ; A l l t h i s e x t r a a c t i v i t y h a s n o t k e p t j the Governor away from his regular | job of directing the peacetime func- ! tions of the state. This is well evidenced by the fact that for the first time in history Illinois has, under his administration, built up a cash reserve or surplus of nearly one hundred million dollars. Even while this was being done the state sales tax was being reduced from three cents to two, and, at the dame time expenditures for education and public assistance were being increased. Often described as his outstanding trait is Dwight Green's ability to work harmoniously with all types of people. About this, an article recently published in a national party magazine states: "Getting along with people comes naturally to the Governor of the pivotal state of Illinois. No matter in Kanenburg, of Genoa Junction. She is a sister of Harvey Price. L. A. Horlick, proprietor of the* Riverside livery, has moved his household goods here from Chicago how belligerent a frame ^of mind , an<j js occupying the Nic A.

Mr. Green was married to Mabel Victoria Kingston of Washington on June 20, 1926. They have two daughters, Nancy, born in 1927 and Gloria, born in 1931. The girls attend public school in Springfield. Mr. Green served with the Bureau of Internal Revenue in Washington and Chicago and later was appointed a special assistant to the U. S. District Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. It was while on this job that he achieved national eminence by the conviction of some of the country's most notorious gangsters. He served three years, from 1932 to 1935, as District Attorney, resigning from that post to resume private practice. # Winning the Republican primary nomination for governor in 1940 he was elected by a majority of approximately a quarter million votsfc i ble-barreled shotgun and his first shot was with both barrels r killing 17 birds. pancy by the beginning of the., fall term. FIFTY YEARS AfiO SIXTY YEARS AGO The Bank of McHenry took the entire issue of bonds for the new school house, $7,500. The bonds are drawing 5 per cent, and were taken at a premium. The residence of James B. Perry, in this village, which has been unr dergoing extensive changes, is now ready for the plasterers, after which finishing touches will be put on by the carpenters. Robert Howard, son of R. A. Howard, of the west side market, cut his foot quite severely with an ice chisel, on Friday last.

The use of an interceptor offers the most convenient and effortless way to save the grease which is such an essential raw material for the manufacture of munitions, antiseptics and surgical dressings. Americans on an average use 56 pounds of grease and oil per person, per year, in preparing food. Another 28 pounds, per person, per year, is used in the manufacture of soap, cosmetics, and medicines. From 10 to 15 per cent of this total finds its way into the drain lines and sewer?. The use of interceptors permits the saving of virtu1 ally all the grease that goes down the drain because the best of modern grease interceptors are so efficient that they will trap and hold about 93 per cent of the grease in the drain water.

SLOCUM LAKE BATTLE CREEK. MICH.--"The first plane loads of American parachutists dropped on Sicily suffered more from air sickness during the rough ride across the Mediterranean than they did later at the hands of the enemy." Parachutist Lieut. Anthony Pappas, 22 years old, Chicago, grinned when he made the statement to a reporter at the army's huge Percy Jones general hospital at Battle Creek, Mich. And the treatment he is undergoing, as one of the Illinois casualties recently brought back from the Mediterranean war theater, is not for air sickness, however. "Talk about your high winds!" he exclaimed. "The gale we bucked flying to Sicily put our big transport plane through more fancy acrobatic stunts than a Hollywood htorse opera star pulls off. in a celluloid rodeo! \ , 'p;. ".Greener ne^'Greeni*^;:,- ?• " "It bucked, and heaved, and seemed to stand still for minutes at a time. And then it would drop, straight down! I could feel myself getting greener and greener. One of the boys wanted to know if we were sure we had a pilot. "Another said he hoped they'd shoot him quick and end his misery when he reached the objective. He spoke for all of us." There were laughs from adjoining beds. "How about the jump itself, when you finally arrived?" asked Major Lawrence T. Smith of Chicago. Major Smith, who was a military intelligence officer on the American general staff, was hit in the head by a fragment when German planes bombed American forces establishing a beachhead in the Sicilian invasion. He is a former engineer with the Chicago park board. Lieutenant Pappas grinned. "Whoosh! . . . That wlttfl sure slapped us around when we stepped off the plane," he said. "The enemy must have been waiting for us. It was dark, but they shot so many, tracer bullets at us it looked like the Fourth of July. "Hitting the ground knocked me out. When I came to, I started crawling 6n my stomach to find other members of our detachment. I must have crawled hours, when I met six of our men. One had a leg broken. We dragged him along, and then more men joined us. By this time it was daylight. They Start Shooting. "Ahead of us was a big barracks building. We started shooting at it and they blasted back at us. I was flat on my stomach when a burst of machine gun fire hit right in front of my face. Lead sprayed off rocks into my right eye. I plastered a bandage on it and aimed with my left eye. "After two hours they surrendered. Then, to our surprise, we found out that another detachment of American parachutists had been attacking the barracks at the same time from the other side." Lieut. Samuel O. Rice Jr. of Chicago, a concussion patient, asked if the enemy surrendered quietly. "Well," Lieutenant Pappas replied, "there were a few incidents. A German soldier ran out of the barracks and dived beneath a truck. One of the Americans threw a grenade beneath the truck and then jumped up on the running board, waiting for it to explode. The German dived out again, but our man caught him and killed him Then he investigated to find out why the grenade hadn't exploded." "A dud?" suggested Major Smith. "No," said Lieutenant Pappas. "In his excitement the American forgot to release the grenade pin." (By Mrs. Harry Matthews; n Mrs. C.( H. Hansen visited at the home of Mrs. ..Robert Luening afc' Roseville last Friday.
