Firemen were called to the John Janiecsky residence at Lakemoor at 2:25, where a mattress on a bed burned. It was believed that lightning had passed through a light cord in the bedroom, causing the fire. Later, in a home two blocks away in the north part of the village, lightning was also believed responsible for a kitchen fire which burned a fixture and the surrounding t,ceiling. , Telephone r yrepajrmen N worked until after midnight Thursday, restoring service in many areas.

RECALL MEMORABLE HISTORY OF HARRISON SCHOOL AS NEW ADDITION NEARS COMPLETION; OPENING PLANNED new addition to Harrison school will be opened officially within a matter of days and no doubt old timers in the Ring- W^od-Wonder Lake area will happily recall the long and interesting history of the school district, dating back about 100 years. The present structure was built' after voters of the district approved a $155,000 bond issue last year. It will provide eight new class rooms and a gym and stage to accommodate the needs of the growing number of pupils who each year attend. With over-crowded conditions, two of the larger rooms in the older portion of tihe structure haye in recent years be&o. divided to* provide eight class rooms all. It is believed. that with more space available, these may be used once again as single rooms. The history of Harrison school is still an outstanding one in the memories of early residents and reflects the continued effort to provide adequate educational facilities for young folks of the area. Long History- Mrs. Flora Sherburne Harrison of Ringwood has memories dating probably farthest back, starting in 1877 when a small brick building with only three windows was the scfhool attended by all the children of the district. She recalls that Lucinda Waterman, later Mrs. Albert Francisco, was the teacher at that time, realizing a salary of from $18 to $20 a month. The building was then heated by an immense wood stove, which Mrs. Harrison still remember^ left the corners very cold. She also recalls how tihe children in one family in the neighborhood rode horses to school, then sent the animals on home through the Snow by themselves. Even before the brick. building of 1877, another school had provided an opportunity to learn for Harrison district youngsters but it burned to the ground, making necessary the new school. In 1916 the brick building was torn down and replaced by another, which, in turn, was replaced in 1941 by the present school.

The Wonder Lake branch, in a few hours, collected over one-half of their quota on a Sunday afternoon. Following McHenry's opening breakfast, at which some 50 workers attended, onethird of the quota was turned in the first day. On Wednesday of this week it was reported that a total of $1,490 had been collected, thus far in the Red Cross drive, with several territories still not in. Anyone still desiring to give may mail checks to Red Cross, McHenry. National publicity calls to the attention of all the need for assisting the one organization that meets so many various needs in local communities and on the national and international scale. Brought to our attention also is the fact that one-sixth of all the servicemen and women now in tihe Armed Services are from Illinois. Six million persons in the United States were certificated in first aid training last year in classes of twenty-two hours each, not only to help themselves but to be of assistance to their neighbors. In this county alone, 362 persons received first aid training. As checks are written for the 1955 fund drive, it should be kept in mind that unless the quota is met, the permissive programs, such as water safety and first aid, will not be available. MABEL S. SHAW, PRESIDENT OF McHENRY PUBLISHING COMPANY, DIES; OUTSTANDING IN MIDWEST JOURNALISM Mrs, Mabel S. Shaw, 84, president of the McHenry Publishing company and publisher of the Dixon, 111., Evening Telegraph, died Monday, March 7, in a West Palm Beach, Fla., hospital. The two are among six daily newspapers and one weekly in Illinois and Iowa controlled by the B. F. Shaw Printing company, of which she was also president.

Qt the City Council of McHqnry and all members were present to wade into the work at hand. The tefeasurer's report showed a balance of $11,113.15 on hand in the general fund, with approximately $5,000 in bills approved and to be paid from that balance. This brought forth the observation from Mayor Freund that bills presented at the first meeting in April and the annual meeting will have to be met before tohe end of the current fiscal year. During the past month, City Collector Mayme Buss collected a total of $3,639.43. The sum collected #h Water bills was $2,319,04 plus $1,320.39 from sewer rentals. The clerk's report showed a total of $2,013.80, the largest item being $1,296 from vehicle licenses issued during the month. The police department will start a thorough drive on collection of vehicle licenses, starting April 1. Those persons not having tags displayed will be subject to arrest tickets. Last year marked the all time high in vehicle license collections. This year an even more extensive drive will be made, a street by street check on car and truck owners to follow all other efforts. This is in fairness to those who secure their licenses voluntarily each year. A direction was made by motion to contact the Chicago & North Western Railroad company requesting immediate repairs "to the crossing at Waukegan street. The subject of street openings made by building contractors, plumbers, electricians and other tradesmen was a point of discussion. It was agreed and stipulated that notice be published to advise all contractors that street openings must be back-filled with pit run or pea gravel. This work is to be done under city supervision. In tihe past, improper fill has been used, resulting in damage to streets and creating the "hazard of accidents. Reports of confusion on the part of drivers brought out a motion to paint all "no parking" areas and fire hydrant locations with an orange color to attract attention. Engineers report that plans are near readiness for enlargement of the disposal plant and a special meeting' will be called to review the plans and proceed with necessary steps.

Her physician prescribed a long rest from her labors and she went to Florida, accompanied by her son, George, and his wife. It was while visiting her nephew, Harold R. Masten, at Palm Beach on March 3 that she suffered a second stroke. She entered St. Mary's hospital, West Palm Beach, where she died. Near her at the time of her death were her three sons, George, Benjamin T., and Robert, all officers of the corporation.

In addition to her newspaper ventures, Mrs. Shaw controlled the Dixon Publishing company, a large commercial printing firm, and other commercial printing plants connected with* her various newspapers. Mrs. Shaw also had far-flung financial Interests. She was represented' on the board of many corporations and financial institutions. The well known mid-western publisher was born in Darlington, Wis., Sept. 17, 1870. She went to Dixon to attend Dixon college and it was in that city that she met her husband, Eustace E.

She took her husband's place with the newspaper beside her father-in-law and upon his death in 1909 assumed control of the Dixon paper. The story of her success In midwest journalism is a remarkable one. Widowed and the mother of three sons, she nevertheless personally directed the success of her newspaper and the others that were to join her newspaper holdings. Mrs. Shaw possessed a business acumen rarely seen in a woman. The preponderance of her financial decisions were made with her personal attention and judgement. Her associates marveled at her attention to detail and her emphasis on hard work and enterprise. * Her diligence and tireless efforts . were reflected in the growth of Iher institution. Where once she employed seven typesetters, press men and editorial writers, more than 500 were employed in her various plants at the time of her death.

Pacific. ^ In 1951, the Dixon Evening Telegraph published a. 272-page-1 centennial edition, one of the largest such editions to be pub-i^ *^ liahed in the middle wa«l. it was j a fitting tribute to her loyal , devotion to journalism and to her astuteness In furthering its cause.
