Not only a new year but a new decade is about to make aa entrance and business men and Week bjr'week--decade by decade--, through the first fifty years of this modern twentieth century, the Plaindealer has carried out its aim of recording the history of McHenry and the surrounding community. Now we have reached the half-way point and it is only natural to enjoy a few moments of reflection on some of the achievements of these golden yearf. New generations have made their appearance and are now leaders in our midst--pioneers, having fulfilled the part for which they were destined, have passed on, leaving only memories to those of us who must carry on the courageous work for which they successfully laid the groundwork. So many are the far sighted men and wOmen who took an active part in shaping the destiny of McHenry that it would be impossible to attempt any listing of their names. Only their deeds will serve as a lasting memento to the builders of this community in years past. Educattotf^and, religion, and the progress made in these Important parts of our everyday living, are two of the best ways of judging any hometown community. Our own beautiful structures, both large and small, devoted to prayer, are evidence of the faith of the people who have made them possible, but not nearly so evident as the kindness and generosity which characterize the same people in their whole liv+ng. The impressive structures which are our modern schools testify to the importance yhich the general public places on education, an education which will fit today's youth to carry on the responsibilities of continued progress tomorrow. It is only natural* that the New Year--the beginning of a new half century--should center about thoughts of the future as well as accomplishments of the past. While notle of us can foresee what successes or disappointments lie ahead, several events of 1950 are already, underway to give p.|11. uu viuiDimoi). ^ parents and a sister.

C. A. The Honorable John T. Jarecki, PETER SMITHS OF JOHNSBURG INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Several local people were fa- Collector of Internal Revenue, I jured in ani automohUe accident last week reminded employers and! on Christma4 night at*T?30, near employees of the first district of Illinois that the Federal Insurance Contributions Act provides for an increase in the tax rate under that Act to l'/j percent on employees and 1% percent on employers, based on all taxable wages paid on and after Jan. 1, 1950. Ever since the beginning of'the Social Security program, of which <rhese taxes are a part, these ratea have been 1 percent each on employees and empoyers, and Collector Jarecki called attention to the change in order to prevent confusion in preparing January pay tolls. This change does not affect the rates of iaeome tax withholding from wages, which are the »wn0 as they were in 1949. Employers were also reminded, however, that new regulations will be effective Jan. 1 regarding the depositing and reporting of both the F. I. C. A. taxes and income tax withheld from wages. Starting with wages paid in January, employers who are liable for more than $100 of these taxes i'a one month are required to deposit them in either a Federal Reserve Bank or a commercial bank authorized to receive such deposits for transmittal to the' Federal Reserve Bank. Deposits are required for taxes Johnsburg. Most seriously hurt were Mr. and Mrs. Peter Smith of Johnsburg, who have been in the Woodstock hospital since the accident. having suffered shock and bruises. The accident occurred near the home of their daughter, Mrs. Martin - Weber, and was believed to have resulted from poor visibility caused by the snow storm. Three cars were involved in the collision. The Smith auto and one driven by Joseph Britz of Moline, III., formerly of Spring Grove, hit almost head-on and a car driven bv Richard Frett of Woodstock rammed into the rear of the Britz machine. Britz was taken to the hosffttal for treatment but was released the following day. Miss Dorothy Freund of McHenry, riding in the Frett car, suffered a cut mouth. Mr. and' Mrs. George Frett, also occupants of the car, were shaken up. DRIVERS WARNED OF HAZARDS AS WINTER MAKES APPEARANCE S-day was Dec. 21.

In 1891 he was married at Todd Seminary in Woodstock to Sophia Wresche of Hariqony and they " made their home at Pingree Grove. Ih 1941 the couple observed their use in making deposits. Employers Will fill out the receipt as a deposit slip. After the form and remittance are received and checked by the Federal Reserve Bank, the deposit receipt will be validated and mailed back to the employer for attachment to his quarterly return. The year 1950 also will mark the nationwide adoption of a combined form for quarterly reporting by employers of income tax and highways. S-Day stands for Seeing, Steering and Stopping in the safety battle plan, according to the National Safety Council, which is marshalling the safety forces against winter hazards. Seeing refers to one of winter's big hazards for the automobile driver--lack of visibility. Long hours of darkness are made even more dangerous by fog. snowplastered windshields, and fogged glass.
