They are now residing in their beautiful new home in Fox Lake, but manage to come and visit their old friends in this community quite often. JTean Flynn was taken to ek hospital last Suna result of an acci- Wttich occurred right in •of the Flynn residence on 120. Jean darted across highway to meet her father, was at the Lake, when a 4jj|r returning to Chicago struck 1 br, and very fortunately threw sr into the grass and weeds bordering the highway. The child buffered bruises and cuts but the Jt-rays revealed no broken bones, •he parents, Richard and Rose H^jmn, are grateful to the police department for the wonderful ;way traffic has been slowed ^Mown through the village. Had (he car been going at a greater state of speed, it goes without Saying that the child would have •t>een much more seriously hurt. p Many people have wondered ||rhy a village this size needs so ilnany policemen. These men are forking without pay and giving ta certain number of hours h day to be on duty. A smal- #r. police force would require each man to donate so many more hours each to active duty. After all, since they are giving *P their time without pay and #ery little thanks, to the comthunity certainly we cannot exjpect a few to make all the sacrifices. Having a large group of men on duty a fe^ hours each Week seems to be the best solution for our particular village. Lt. and Mrs. Hugh Murphy are visiting their folks in McHenry and in Lakemoor before continueing to Pensacola, Fla., where Lt. Murphy will report to his base for flight training. , ** The fire department picnic Jfertainly had the weather man Cooperating, with sunny skies throughout the day. Some of the dinners in the various races disappeared into the crowd before I cpuld get their names; however, if they will call me, I'll lie sure and print them next •' %eek.

The election of officers for the Lakeside Improvement association will be held on Sunday, Sept. 7, at The Lannes Tower building at 3 p.m. The installation of officers party will be held at Club Lilymoor on Sept. 20. A buffet supper will be served and Marge Ehrardt will again be in charge of the food and serving. Don Stadfeld's band will furnish the music for dancing. Le!b Taube, the internationally famous accordion player, will be on hand, also "Helma", an accomplished pianist from Germany, will entertain the guests and there will be many other brief acts during the evening to add to the show. Phillip Kibbee is in charge of the tickets and reservations may be made by calling him. We certainly are proud to have a boy like Clifford Todd living in our community. Clifford is one of the two boys chosen from the entire Blackhawk area to take a course in junior leadership. Clifford left last Friday by train for New York city, where he spent one day taking pictures and sight-seeing. He called home to tell his mother of the deluxe hotel accommodations he was enjoying. The next day he traveled to the Schiff Scout reservation in New Jersey, where he began his course in Scout leadership. He will return Sept. 1, in time to attend the local high school, where he is a student. Mr. and Mrs. John Kraley and their three children were guests of the Ivan Gustafsons of Lakemoor last Sunday. The Kraleys are old friends and former neighbors of the Gustafsons when they lived in Cicero, 111. They had many tales to tell of how the neighborhood has changed during the past few years. Vtr. ana Mrs. Claude F, M>- jDemott are back from their vacation and back to the daily ,|grind. Mrs. McDermott tells us «he could edit a book on "How to Feed an Army" after cooking jfor the gang she had along.

Bill fell from his bike and suffered a concussion of the brain. His condition is now improved, but it sdre was a bit of tough luck to have happen. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Cunny had as their guests last Sunday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Andy Davidson of Island Lake. Mrs. Anna Daro was a dinner guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brady last Sunday. Mrs. Daro and her two girls, Barbara and Debbie, have been spending a few days* vacation at a cottage in Lakemoor before returning to their home in Chicago. Just another little reminder that the vehicle and dog licensees a r e due as of S e p t . 1, and t h a t they will start enforcing this ordinance beginning then. Vehicle tags are one dollar, the dog license is one dollar for male dogs and two dollars for females. The vehicle tags will expire on Jan. 1, 1953. The dog license will be good for one full year. ELABORATELAYOUT NOT NECESSARY FOR POULTRY PROFITS Some excellent examples of low investment, good management, and high returns rrare seen in a recent tour of poultry farms in Livingston county. E. E. Broadbent, University of Illinois poultry' and egg marketing specialist, reports that at one farm visitors saw how an old horse barn had been converted to house 330 hens. Stalls were removed, concrete floor put in and walls insulated with straw and board sheeting on the inside. Another 300 hens were kept in old but sturdy sheds which had also been remodeled at small expense. On another farm tour members looked at a larger low-cost hen house with 325 hen downstairs and 375 more on the upper floor. This, too, was a converted horse barn, originally built with.a hayloft above. The side doors, built laro-e enough to drive through with a team and hay wagon, were ideal for providing plenty of ventilation. These poultry buildings were old, but management practices on the farms were up to the minute, and that's what counts, Broadbent emphasizes. Flocks on both farms returned between S3 and $4 above feed cost per bird last year. Both operators are member of the Illinois Farm Bureau Farm Management Service and keep good records. They gather eggs often, handle them to preserve Grade A quality and sell them on' a graded basis. Production practices that help make their businesses pay include using dropping pits, deep litter, plenty of nests, straw lofts, plenty of ventilation and fresh drinking water, and following tested feeding recommendations. Museum Of Seine* And Industry To Lay "Living" Cornerstone Sept 3 The McHenry Bible church is having a contest for its Sunday School students. The contest is a combination of a good attendance record and a Bible knowledge idea. The children are aU learning parts of the Bible, and as they progress they will be given tiny loving cups as awards. As their merits Increase, the size of the cups will also increase yntil the final winner of all will be announced.^ Mr. and Mrs. Ted Budil are back from their vacation, which they spent in New York City, sightseeing. They also got to see some wonderful scenery along Want A* In Halifax. N.S., a pair of newlyw* d» advertised in the Mail Star: want modest home large enough to keep the bride from going home to her mother and small enough to keep^the mother from coming to Chicago's Museum of Science fend Industry will lay a "living" cornerstone Sept. 3, opening day of the two-week convocation of the Centennial of Engineering, September 3-13. Although the building dates back to 1893 when it was erected for the World's Columbian Exposition, the cornerstone was never laid. Commemorating 100 years of American engineering achievements, the cornerstone will be set in place in. a simple ceremohy attended by a group of 500 foreign engineers who will be special guests of the Museum that day which has been designated "International day" by the Centennial. Lenox R. Lohr, president, a former McHenry resident, and D. M. MacMaster, director of the Museum, will officiate at the ceremony, Where traditional cornerstone? are concerned with the history and mementoes of the past, the Museum stone will be dedicated to the future. Everything in the cornerstone will be physically or biologically "alive", symbolizing the Museum's concern with present accomplishments and the promise of the future as exemplified in its exhibits. It is hoped that many of the articles to be secreted within the stone will provide the answers for some of the research problems of today. Marking the present atomic age of discovery, some of the stone's contents will be radio-active, pulsing with the atomic life that holds so much promise for the engineers and scientists of tomorrow. A specially constructed ."clock" will count off not seconds I or minutes but years inside the Icornerstone. In the heart of the 1-ton granite block wiH be a carefully fabricated monel money box, wherein, surrounded by an ii^ert gas, helium, will be a number of laboratory experiments designed to prove or disprove some of today's theories in an experiment that will last 100 years. Among the contents will ; be small amounts of dry hydrogen1 and oxygen in the proper proportions to • form water (H<50)- (two volumes of hydrogen and one of oxygen) which should re» act very slowly due to the absence of any catalyst. According to Some scientists, no reaction will take place within a hundred years; others, however, believe it will take place within that time with violence. In another sealed capsule will be Oriental lotus seeds, tradionally associated with longevity. When that section of the box is opened after a hundred years have-passed, scientists will have more accurate data on which to predicate the ability of seed to maintain germination qualities. The Museum's purpose in determining the contents of its cornerstone is to provide the opportunity of conducting long experiments which no research laboratory can afford the time or maintain the teat conditions to conduct. .Experiments to be conducted in this way were determined by a group of scientists at the University of Chicago and through consultation with other scientists in the various fields concerned. An experiment in alow change will be included in the field of crystallization. Under normal laboratory conditions it is impossible to make observations of this type for a *1cng enough period; and if the experiment is speeded up a different crystalline structure will result. Among the contents of the stone will be a small lead block plated on one surface with a very thin layer of a radio-active lead isotope (with a half life of 22 years). When the stone is opened scientists will be interested in determining to what depth the radio-activity of the isotope has penetrated or sunk in the block as well as in the amount of radioactivity still remaining in the material. In another metallurgical experiment, a sample of an agehardening metal alloy (a recent material) will be included. After a hundred years, this alloy should show increased properties of hardness and strength. Several varieties of biological molds, including the mold that is used to produce penicillin, will also be placed in the stone. These wili be in a state of suspended activity during their incarceration and after a hundred years they will be allowed to resume their biological activity, if they have survived the test. Along the same lines, .several kinds of virus and bacteria will be similarly tested to determine their longevity for the hunderd year period. Counting off the years until the cornerstone is re-opened will be a thermostatic clock especially constructed for the purpose. ^Designed on the s$me principle as the ordinary room thermostat to control temperature, the cornerstone's clock consists of two strips of metal that expand diff e r e n t l y w i t h t e m p e r a t u r e changes. Thus the thermostat will be set to register once when Chicago's temperature passes 85 degrees and then will not register again until the temperature has gone below 15 degrees. In this way it is expected that summer and winter weather in Chicago, despite its wide fluctuations, will operate the clock set within the stone. Health Talks TAX REMINDER Illinois businessmen were reminded by ' Clifford E. Halpin, director of the Illinois Department of Revenue, that retailers occupation tax remittances should be made payable to the Illinois Department of Revenue. Since a recent announcement that income tax payments should be made to the U. S. Director of Revenue, some merchants, evidently confused, have made checks for sales tax purposes payable to the federal director. That First Trip Tq School Mr. and Mrs. Parent, is your child teady for his first trip to school ? Have you prepared him emotionally for his departure from babyhood and have you seen to it that he is physically fit to cope with "that new world--the strange happenings of his first entrance into school life? If you have not done these things you, as a parent, may yet have time to help your youngster prepare for the adjustments necessary to meet the challenges of his new school activities, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society point* out in a HEALTH. TALK. Not all children are alike, either in appearance or mental achievement. Not all children have been brought up under the same environmental patterns. Some youngsters of school age are vivacious and "full of pep"; others are shy and reticent. But nearly a}l children have the same undercurrent of eagerness and interest in the mysteries i>t the school room. Yet, if they have ndt been prepared physically and emotionally for the new life, trouble can lie ahead. Has your child had a physical examination by the family physician? Are you certain that the listlessnesa of the last few weeks, or perhaps a few months ago, which now since has disappeared, is not due to some physical disturbance that could be corrected easily before he begins school ? Are you certain that the squint that appears when he look9 at the comics or his books of make-, believe is not due' to some defect in vision ? This correction could be the one procedure that would prevent your child 'from being classified as "dull" in his first days at school. If he can't see the patterns on the blackboard, naturally he can't understand them. The words of explanation of the teacher may register on the child's brain but visually they are meaningless. And then there is the child whose sight is normal, but who fails to hear. Is this child too to be classified "dull" when a physical examination would have paved the way for correction of this defect? And the child's teeth "Are they in good condition ? Or are you one of those parents who say 'They're only his baby teeth add so defer the trip to the dentist ? This is unwise, because careful attention to these baby teeth will be the means to insure good placement when the second teeth make their appearance. Have you told your child that the teacher will guide him during his achtel hours and "that he should confide and trust in her. This understanding before he enters school will very often help the child in adjusting to school routine. And have you explained that it is fun to be with others of the same age, boys and girls alike, mingling and vying. with one another in the same apmes and lessons? Think it over, Mr. and Mrs. Parent. You will feel a pang of sorrow that first day of school, for it is the start of a new life as your child begins his road to adulthood. Understanding this, give the youngster every possible help--a good physical examination to prevent, first of all, and correct, if needed, any condition that may retard him in his school activities. If properly prepared, that first day of school can be a joyful event. Let your physician and dentist cooperate With you, the parent, in launching your child into the new and exciting school life. There is no wealth such as good health. You can give it to your child.
