Scores of sight seers and resorters have visited the lotus beds at Qrass Lake during the past Week. The flowers are fast fading away and will be gone within the next few days. . Venetian njjght in all its splenwas celebrated by resorters at Pistakee Bay last Saturday evening. All shores of the bay and lake were most beautifully illuminated with innumerable lights and torches and at 9:30 a grand boat parade took place. The most dangerous place in McHenry during the summer months is the bridge that spans the Fox- river here. Very few rple realizg the amount of trafthat passes over this structure every day. As near as. can be estimated there are no less than 200 automobiles pass over tthe bridge every day during the summer season, while on Sundays and holidays the number is often doubled. , P. J. Freund and his force of carpenters are now at Greenwood, WheTe the former has taken a ^jintract for the erection of several buildirfes, among them an immense barn. Spontaneous combustion caused a small blaze in the barn of John Justen but was discovered in time to save the building from ruin. A small blaze was also discovered in the McHenry House.

Farm Advisor) APPLICATIONS FOB TERMINAL LEAVE PAY EXTENDED Otto Babcock, service officer of the Illinois Veterans Commission says that Illinois veterans of World War II who negleGted to apply for their terminal leave pay before September 1948, can do so now. The date for applying has been extended to June 30, 1951. Those eligible are veterans, who served under conditions other than dishonorable on or after Sept. 8, 1939, and discharged be fore Sept. 1 1946. Terminal leave was granted members of the armed forces for unused accrued furloughs \if iVi days a month with a- maximum eligibility of 120 days. In the case of deceased veterans, their survivors may apply. Service officers of the IVC have the necessary forms and information on the filing of "terminal leave applications as well as the list of officers designated for handling terminal leave payments. In McHenry county veterans should contact the IVC office located at the county court room in Woodstock every Wednesday. Twenty-Five Years Ago Did you ever see anything so unsightly as a fairgrounds just after a county fair? Not many saw it this past week, except Mel Stussey and Ben Slais, the tent men, and Roger Hemken and myself. No one volunteered Monday immediately after the fair, except Norman Johnson, leader of the Biisy BeaVers 4-H club one afternoon and George Whipple, supervisor of the state highway gang at Woodstbck,. who had his men take back all of the picket fence we borrowed. -The poultry show would not have been possible if Henry Marlowe, leader of the Huntley 4-H club hadn't offered the four tier broiler batteries, hauled them up and hauled them back. Some people who certainly de serve mention in connection with the fair include Mrs. Spence Byron and Mrs. Carl Behl, who were in charge the Home Bureau eats tent, and Jack Satorius and Bruce Stewart. I don't know whether the ladies were paid, but I know Jack and Bruce were not and they put in four hard days supervfsing the 4-H Federation stand. The Federation kids did a lot of work in the stand, but it takes a couple of plugs to get ready early in the morning and clean up at night, order stuff, take care of the money, etc. It is no trick at all to spend eighteen hours per day there and I believe they did Just that. If you are interested in 4-H could you just take a minute to say a kind word to these two men? Remember, that is all the pay they get or expect. Maybe they don't expect It, toot th«f"«pf humm marway. < < , "Don't gripe about our coffM* you may be old and weak yourstif someday," said a sign In a restaurant. That's why It doeaa't pa?' to criticise, yon never know what the real situation is. Your children's outlook on lift and the community Is pretty well influenced by what they hear around the supper table from age 5 to 15. We have folks who couldn't imagine anyone doing anythhkg for his community such as taking active part in the county fair, without getting in on the mythical pot" which the "click" divides up befone they tell the pubHc how much was "made". This type of attitude is fostered by parents who suffer from what Dr. Adolph Meyer said, "What alls most folks is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." (I fully Intended io add a comment to that, but nothing I can think of would do anything for the statement--in fact, I can't see but what anything said would detract from it.) Certainly Mr. and Mrs. Ray Rattray's children do not suffer from Such misinformations judging from the work their parents do tor others. Ray was chairman of the agricultural exhibits committee and Mrs. Rattray was chairman of the floricultural exhibit.
