McOmber - The unexpected death of Joseph it. McOmber, 77, one of McHenry s pioneer residents came as a shock to his many friends and the city!s old timers last week. Last rites were conducted at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, Feb. 4,'from the Jacob Justen Sons funeral home, with. Rev Wayne Price of the Community Methodist church officiating. Mr. McOmber, a salesman for the Bee Jk Em ready-to-wear boys' clothing of Philadelphia, was JOS. M. McOMBKR stricken while standing on an "L" platform in Chicago at noon orf Wednesday. Persons standing nearby took him to Illinois Central hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. The deceased was born in McHenry on July 16, 1872, a son of John and Sarah McOmber, among the earliest white settlers in this area. His grandfather, also John M. McOmber, came here from New York state in 1837 to build the county's first saw mill. His father was McHenry's first police magistrate, receiving that appointment on May 2, 1874. Possessed of an unusual sense of humor and love of living, he enjoyed spending his leisure time visiting with old friends and recalling the community's many years of progress. Interested in politics, he was a Democratic candidate for county coroner two years ago. Mrs. McOmber preceded her husband in death as did two sisters, Mrs. Mattie Smith and Mrs. Blanche Waldon, and two brothers, William Knight and Clarence Knight. He is survived by a daughter, Marion, who made her home with him. The body rested at the Jacob Justen Sons funeral home until time of burial, which was in Woodland Cemetery.

ACCELERATED ROAD PROGRAM WILL COME BEFORE SUPERVISORS The McHe-nry county board of supervisors is expected to spenc a good share of next Tuesday's meeting discussing the two million dollar accelerated road program in the county. Depending upon what action thev take will be the answer to whether or not the proposal of the road and bridge committee to concentrate the road program into an over-all project will reach county voters in the spring Necessary plans aud estimated costs of such a program that would improve an estimated seventy miles of roads was asked by the board last summer to be prepared by the road and bridge committee. T. F. Nolan of Dorr township is chairman of the committee, which has completed preliminary plans. It is expected that necessary resolutions will be presented to the board Tuesday. Should it ndt meet the board's approval, the matter will be dropped, at least for the present. If they do approve, the voters will be given a chance to vote on the issue this spring, probably at the primaries in April. The estimate on the roads amounts to $50,000 more than the proposed bond issu^'but the additional funds will come from MFT funds. There has been ilfuch discussion as to how the public will react tol a new bond issue, resulting in a tax increase, as so many communities have felt it necessary since the war. to build new schools to care for a growing population. The final decision will be up to the people, who must decide whether t(iey want the accelerated program or one which would improve roads over a 10-year period. Because MFT funds cannot be anticipated, it is necessary to present the program to the people at an election. Should the MFT funds not be sufficient to pay off the bond issue, the residents of the county would need to assume the responsibility of paying for the improvements.

PLAYERS TO PRESENT "BLITHE SPIRIT" IN COUNTY FEB. 10, 11, 12 "Blithe Spirit" is tihe smash comedy-hit of Broadway and London stages which the McHenry County Theatre Guild is offering next weekend, Feb. 10, 11 and 12. It won the 1941-42 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award. Full of hilarious situations, it concerns Charles Condouine, a mystery story writer who invites an eccentric medium Madame Aroati, to his placid country home. To allow full play for comedy complications, Author Noel Coward has the medium stage a seance and unwittingly summon the spiHt of Charles' late wife, the decidedly earthy Elvira, visible and audible only to Charles. This would have been embarrassing enough under normal conditions, but is even more so since Charles has married again, to the lovely Ruth who takes a Wew of sharing her husband even with the manifestation of Elvira. Elvira, not content to disrupt the Condonine household with her spirit machinations, is bent on making Charles a ghost, so she "won't have to play backgammon with that dreadfully dull Conghis Khan." She plots an automobile accident for Charles which backfires, leaving Charles a nastral bigamist, with a second astral spouse. TJie hilarious conclusion promises to leave you as limp from laughter as Charles is from J>attling his two spirits who are both very, very blithe. HENRY A.

Two burglars,, and possibly more, have been the object of an intensified search in' this area since Monday night, when they broke into Rockford and Belvidere schools and made off with large sums of money. Tuesday morning they broke into the Marengo high school and stole $500 but lost their toot from the previous burglaries when they abandoned their car which contained $2,000. The abandoned car, which was believed by Sheriff Fred C. Bau to be stolen, contained $2,000 in bills, twp black bags and one White bag, a bum of silver in a brown bag, three revolvers, an electric drill and a quantity of explosives. The burglars fled out of a rear door and escaped on foot after being frightened away by a truck driver who drew up near the school io rest. It was believed that upon leaving the building they noticed Marengo Patrolman Charles Meyers and Monte George, who became suspicious of the abandoned car and had it under surveillance. The policemen had noticed the car parked near a closed restaurant some distance from the school shortly after 4 a.m. and reported the case to the sheriffs office. Had thev examined the bags on the rear seat which they thought were luggage, they would have discovered the large amount of money. The ignition keys were gone but the doors of the car were not locked. The burglars were believed to have entered the Marengo school through a rear door and made their way to the office. The .combination knob of the safe was knocked off and the safe blown open. It was believed that nitroglycerin was used since a jug containing it was found near the building, believed dropped as they fled. ^alk To Union Although it was not definitely ascertained just how many were involved in the Marengo burglary, the number was thought to be more than the two who later turned up in Un'.on after walking the several miles from Marengo along the railroad tracks. At Union the two held up Russell Johnson and escaped fa his car. To date, no trace has been found of the Johnson auto. The car they abandoned had Illinois license plates issued to a- Chicago party but also contained Iowa and Indiana license plates. It is belie-ved that the cash found in the abandoned car was obtained in Rockford and Bclvidere. ' • ' .
