URGE FLY CONTROL PROGRAM TO BEGIN NOW THROUOH COmU NTY Residents of McHenry county are invited to Join in a "small game hunt". The hunt is to begin immediately and will continue throughout the summer. The "game" Is the fly, one of man's most deadly enemies, and a tough foe to eliminate. A W. H. Tammeus, McHenry coun ty farm adviser, has announced that the battle against flies should begin immediately! in order to strike down the early insects which are putting in their initial spring appearance after a winter's hiding. 'The campaign should logically begin with "a city-wide cleanup, in towns," Tammeus said. "Doing away with accumulations of garbage, piles of grass and leaves, decaying matter and animal droppings will make for a scarcity of breeding places for flies," be added. The Illinois Department of Public Health, the State Natural History Survey, and Illinois Agricultural Extension Service which are aiding local communities with technical advice on fly-control, say that control of flies is primarily a personal Job. 'While great numbers of flies are bred in commercial waste piles and dumps, the number of individual sanitation problems--those which exist in our own back yards and alleys--give rise to greater control difficulties. Effective fly control for McHenry is dependent upon each family seeing that their premises are cleaned up early and kept clean throughout the summer," Tammeus said. 'Regular spraying with an effective insecticide such as lindane or chlordane will complete the Job begun with sanitation," he suggested. MAIL SCHEDULE The schedule for the West McHenry station will be as follows in the future: Window service from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the exception of Thursday, when the hours will be from 8 a.m. to noon. Mail will be dispatched at 10 a.m., f p m. and C pan. are progressing rapidly that only details will remain the final Weeks before 1950 Marine Day in McHenry. Committee chairmen have been selected and they are busily preparing lists of workers to handle the multitude of duties which go hand in hand with such a major undertaking as this annual event. One of the most popular parts of Marine Day is selection of a lovely queen to reign over festivities, Last year Miss Patricia Gilmore topped a field of ten finalists to receive the crown and the accom panying honor and priiep. This year's contest will be conducted differently and is expected to eliminate unnecessary details and narrow the field of entries. Rather than receive votes with purchases in local stores, ballots will be received from McHenry area merchants with the advance sale of tickets. Those interested in voting are urged to contact the stores in which they staopv for details concerning the contest. Entry Blanks ' Next week's issue of the Plaindealer will contain entry blanks for queen candidates. You* may choose to enter your own name or to enter someone else. In any case, however, the blank must be signed by the person whose name appears as a candidate, thus eliminating a large number of entries who are not desirous of running for queen. At a later date names of all entries will appear In the paper and from that list residents may choose their favorite and cast their votes. Advance sale of tickets will be park. An adult ticket aw he. purchased Jtyr fifty cents and will give the purchaser fifty votes. Children's tickets will sell for twenty-five cents and will give the holder twenty-five votes. Tickets will be sold for places on the bridge but this sale will be conducted too late to permit the casting of votes for queen. A ftew changes have,been made in committee chairmen, with the list how standing as follows: Boat racing, Peter Seyl, Jr., and Russell Switxer; parade,. Mary Rita Stilling and Maurice Clark; seating and admission, George P. Freund and A. P. Freund; pro gram, Arthur Henschell and John Thennes; special activity, Harold Miller, A. P. Freund and George P. Freund, publicity, William Burfeindt. SAVINGS BOND ^ DRIVE TO BEGIN MONDAY, MAY 1ST The aummer home of the W. Melhortts on East River Road, about a mile southeast of McHenry, was almost completely destroyed by flames about 1:30 Sunday morning. Only the frame remains. A passerby, Jack Rogers of Mineral Springs, was driving by in a car when he noticed the'house in flames. He roused Police Chief John McCarthy, whose home is nearby, and the latter summoned the local fire department. In less than five minutes the volunteer firemen were at the scene but the fire had gained such headway that nothing could be done to save the structure. However, two homes located very close to the burning building were kept from being damaged. The fire was believed to be due to a defective chimney. Damage was estimated at $4,000. The Melhorns had visited the home on Saturday afternoon and had started a fire at that time. Two other fires also called out the local firemen this past weekend but little damage was reported. About 10 o'clock Saturday morning they extinguished a grass fire at McCullom Lake and about 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon were called to put out a grass fire at Skidmore Farm No. 2. Residents from this area witnessed an unusual fire about threequarters of a mile east of Rt. 12, on Lake View Villa road about 6:45 Sunday evening. A fire which started in a dump on the south side of the road spread to a nearby pile of used tires. Volunteers put the flames out and no damage was reported. - ---- KIWANIS CLUB WILL HONOR TEN STUDENTS Zoning Petition Withdrawn By Resident Of Fair Oaks Hugh Kirk of McHenry has withdrawn a petition asking for a reclassification of his property In Fair Oaks subdivision. His action followed a hearing before the county soiling board of appeals. Originally, he had intended to expand his business of operating cabins on the Fox river and open a trailer camp. He later withdrew thia request because of neighbors' objections but asked to expand his cabins. Several people who had adjoining property appeared at the first hearing and asserted that it would depreciate the value of their property and be a traffic hazard. They also objected to the type of buildings. Objectors appeared again at the second hearing held last week. They included W. C. Strassheim, Edward Sutton, Joseph Sutton, E. R. Sutton, Mathilda Barnes, Charles Duncan and Al. Peterson. Plaindealer Observes Anniversary This Week Another year of recording the events of interest in McHenry and the surrounding community has faded into memory for the Plaindealer, which this week observes its seventy-sixth anniversary.
