Freund And Roy Kent Head List Of Committees TRUE STORY TELLS OF GOOD WILL AMONG YOUTHS OF McHENRY One year ago, the McM&ry Business Men's Association voted to hold an annual carnival in the month of December. Besides affording an occasion for unrestrained merriment, the carnival was inaugarated for a serious purpose. This was very clearly set forth in the Nov. 25. 1948, issue of the Plaindealer, and, by requestr is hereby repeated In connection with the second ritr*' carnival to be held Dec. 8 wis year at the Roller Rink. Last year we wrote: ^'What's the carnival for? The carnival Is an attempt to painlessly raise additional funds needed by the McHenry Business Men's Association to carry on the many civic projects it is called upon to Green, McHenry county president; j initiate and support.

The Ctiristmas Seal Sale is conducted by the McHenry County tuberculosis Association. Funds from the 1949 Seal Sale, which Will continue until Dec. 25. will be ' used to finan6e the 1950 tuberculosis prevention and control pleasure." As a result of last year's carnival, sufficient funds were raised to care for most of the association's civic and charitable projects. Direct solicitations were cut down very measurably, thus saving the business men aQd the citizens time and annoyance. Within the next two weeks, committee members will call on our business men for donations of merchandise or merchandise cert'ficates to be used at the carnival. They are asked to give as generously as they can so that this year's carnival will be a greater success than that of last year. This is the one and only time the association asks for a contribution during the year. Business men will also be asked to give a helping hand to the program of the association.

GOODELL Station Agent For Thirty-Six Years Succumbed Tuesday His family, and many McHenry folks who have formed friendships with Charles W. Gacdell during his thirty-six year residence here, this week mourn *his death, which occurred early Tuesday morning. Nov. 15, at the Woodstock hospital. Ill - only a week, he was taken to the hospital on Sunday and Beemed to be improving until a short time before his unexpected death. Mr. Goodell •was born on April 25, 1883, son of the late Charles F. and Carolyn Ford Goodell, at DePere, Wis. With his family he moved to McHenry in 1913, where he served as station agent and telegraph operator for the Chicago and North Western railway. To the regret of the many commuters whom he had cheerfully served through the years, he retired three w^eks ago. Throughout his residence here he was one of the community's most progressive citizens. An avid sports enthusiast, he played on some of the city's early baseball teams. He was also a football fan and enjoyed for many years following. in person, the Green Bay Packer professional team in many of their contests. In later years, radio and television kept up his enthusiasm in national sports. Mr. G<K>dell'8 interests always centered in projects which would add to the civic betterment of McHenry. He served a term on the City council as a west side representative some years ago, and with other members was responsible for some of the early fire fighting equipment installed in the city. He was ,always especially happy when some cultural movement was started and took a special interest in civic music groups. Before his other endeavors, however, came his family, who were first in his thoughts. His greatest regret in his recent illness was that he would not be to attend the first appearance of his nephew with the Mendelssohn Club chorus In Chicago next week. The Goodells were married in 190® in Ladd. III., where he was serving as station agent at the time. Later the couple moved to Austin. Wheaton and Rochelle before coming to McHenry. He is survived by his widow, Gretta; a nephew. Warren Jones: two sisters, Mrs. R. R. Marshall of'Fort Atkinson. Wis., and Mrs. Edward Vincent of DePere. Wis., and a brother, Alton Goodell, of Lena.

Justen funeral home until 2 o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon, when last rites will be held there, with Rev. Kerr of the First Baptist church of Woodstock officiating. .
