KCTMSTAMT DEATH ON McCUUOMUKE BLACKTOP ItOAO BWOUTE NOME FROM SH0PPM6 A coroner's jury last Friday returned a verdict of accidental death in the tragic passing of Blaine Slegel Draheim, 13, of Mc- Cnllom Lake, who died when •track by an auto about a block from her home last Thursday .jgrening, Jan. 17. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Draheim. Shortly after S o'clock, Mrs. Draheim sent -her daughter to a nearby store for groceries and a half hour later the youngster was on her way home. Because of 0 snow driftB on the north side of the blacktop road, she walked •ast on the right side of the road. -^Traveling in the same direction ,a*as Mrs. Jean Arlene Crocker, 19, yrlte of Edward Crocker, a mechanic at the Nick Miller garage In McHenry, who had with her in her auto her 1-year-old child. Mrs. Crocker said that an oncoming car blinded her momentarily and she found herself almost upon the child before she saw anyone In the road. It was . too late for her to avoid hitting the girl even though an ice-free |joad surface made it possible for nef to stop immediately. Mrs. Crocker sought assistance at a nearby home, where a doctor was summoned. However, it was learned later that Elaine had died instantly, having been picked up by the right front fender of the car and thrown several feet to the side of the road. Both of heir shoes and her groceries were found scattered along the black- <£bpand in a nearby field. Enroate Home Mr. Draheim, enroute home frorai his work in that vicinity shortly after 5:30, saw a group . of people gathered albng the road and stopped to see what had happened. A few minutes previous he had been contacted by Mrs. Leo Smith, wife * of the manager of Hickory Creek Farms, which em- *£pys Mr. Draheim. and told to («ti£rry htome. No details were given him at tftat Uma so that thfc discovery of his daughter dead beside the road waa a complete shock. The Draheim family resides in one of the Frank HowalM homes near the large Hickory Creek farm. They had lived In this community for only six months. Blaine was an eighth grade pupil st the junior high school. ' Besides the parents, the child la survived by two brothers, Larry, 6 years old, and Norris, one month old.

One Injured In Family Shooting The condition of Nathan Brown, 27, of Chicago and Lakemoor was reported as well as could be expected at the Woodstock hospital on' Wednesday afternoon, several hours after he was shot above the left knee by his father-in-law, John Sovsky, 54, also of Lakemoor. The Incident occurred about 3 a.m. According to reports, Brown called the Sorsky home from Chicago about 10 o'clock Tuesday night and said he was coming to Lakemoor to get his estranged wife, Helen, and- their 10-month old daughter, Patricia. Fearing trouble, Mrs. Sovsky called the sheriff's office and deputies went to the home, where they remained until receiving another urgent call at 2 a.m. It was not until about 3 o'clock that Brown made his appearance at the home. According to the father-in-law, the younger man tried to break in the bedroom window and later broke a pane of glass in the door in an effort to get in. Sovsky fired one shot from his 12-gauge shotgun into the ground as a warning and when Brown persisted in his efforts to enter Sovsky fired another shot, striking Ills son-in-law in the leg. Mrs. Brown was in Chicago when the shooting occurred. Sheriff Henry Nulle on Wednesday signed a complaint againBt Sovsky, charging assault with a deadly weapon. Brown was said to have lost considerable blood before he arrived at the hospital and transfusions were given. The outcome of his injury could not be definitely ascertained on Wednesday. Mrs. J.

VETBUHS Of FOREIGN WARS NOW IN SEVENTH YEAR; MEMBERS RECORD GROWTH AND PROGRESS SMCE 'fi - BREAKFAST FOR CAPTAMS. WORffltS AflEGNN HOME ON JAN. 30 Wli PRECEDE .HOUSE TO HOUSE CANVASS ii-yt * V.' Beginning today, Thursday, Jan. 24, McHenry's Veterans of Foreign Wars post, No. 4600, is Joining with other posts throughout the country in observing V..F. W. Week. This is the seventh year for the local organization, the post having been mustered in on Oct. 15, 1945, at the city hall in McHenry. Jack Keenan was elected first commander, aupported by Leo Rothermel as senior vice-commander; Paul Karls, junior vicecommander; and Arnold Blake, quartermaster. Sixty-three signed up as charter members and shortly afterward it was decided to hold meetings at St. Mary's hall. It was in September of 1947 that members decided to purchase eighteen acres of land formerly known as the Conway estate for the erection of their own clubhouse. With a fine spirit of cooperation in contributing the various skills necessary, plus cash donations, the first wing was built and later dedicated, to the memory of the veterans of the community, both living and dead. George Duesler served as commander at the time of the dedication in May of 1948. Because of rapid growth andactivity of the membership, it was decided to continue with building planB in 1950, when two other wings were added. Expansion At present, plans are under consideration for carrying out the completion of the building program'on the Clubhouse at an estimated cost of around $25,000. Through the years the post has recognized the fact that without the moral and financial t-upport of the Auxiliary it is quite likely that much of the progress the post has attained would^not have been possible. Some of the contributions of the Auxiliary include the donation of money for the plot of ground for the building and some of Its equipment, particularly in the kitchen. The ladies also 0^ furnished considerable plsyground equipment. The post is fully aware that during the building project there were many "V. F. W. widows." Post commanders from 1945 to the present time include LeRoy "Jack" Keenan, M. L. Schoenholtx, George Duesler, Richard Smith, William Creuti and Volney Brown, present holder of that office. Other officers now serving include Henry Kraus, senior vicecominander; Emit Schwertfeger, junior vice-commander; Wallace Gene Dobyns, quartermaster; Richard Clark, adjutant; Henry Reese, service officer; Walter Aufrecht, William E. Creutx, Nils E. Wik, trustees. __ Board of Directors The present board of directors of the Veterans Club, Inc., are Henry Rees, president; Robert Kralowetz, vice-president; M. L. Schoenholtx, secretary; William Creutz# building; Richard Clark, treasurer; Emil Schwertfeger, activities; ,Gerald Hettermann grounds. The post is proud to announce that it is the first In the fifth district to report 100 percent membership in 1952. The V. F. W., as a community service organization, has in the past and wil'. continue to contribute to loca> activities, recreation, special recognition and needy campaigns. Any eligible veteran is invited to be present Saturday, Jan. 26. at an open meeting, at which time the excellent V. F. W. insurance plan will be explained.

Polio Appeal No appeal for aid to the campaign can contain such a sincere message as that of a victim of the dread disease. Just such an appeal, unsolicited, was sent t» the Plaindealer this week by MrSr Leonard Blake, one of the community's fourteen victims in 1951 and one of the most severely stricken. She writes as follows: "Has the polio Foundation really helped you, Did they pay all your expenses? "These are only a few of the questions people have asked n» since I've returned from the hospital, where I was a polio patient. "I entered tbe hospital on Aag. 6, 1951, and from that moment until I came home on Nov. 10, 1961. the Polio Foundation took care of everything. Th^y didn't ask any questions about my financial status or anything else. They were eager to help in every way possible. You can never fully understand this until it happens to yon. The relief that comes with the knowledge that you don't have to worry about anything but getting well is indeed gratifying. All I had to do waa concentrate oak get* ting better. "I believe my case was one ot the most expensive in McHenry this year, amounting to abont $1,500. I needed two leg braces when I left the hospital. Due to the excellent therapy treatments and inatructiona, I have been fortunate enough to discard one brace already. "I am sure everyone who ha* had polio would like to thank each man, woman and child for generously giving their dimes andi dollars to this great cause. Only through more extensive research can this terrible thing be conquered, and naturally, that take* a great deal of money. "If you could all come with m< to St. Anthony's hospital and visit the polio patients who are stfll there, you'd be rewarded a hundred times for your donations. Please believe me, when you contribute to the March of Dimes, your money is put to good use Immediately. Ask any polio victim and I'm sure they'll agree with me. "Sincerely, "MRS. LEONARD W4W "Maple avenne . ^ 4 "McHenry, III." i,*!
