For the first time in our history, we will choose a governing body which will have legal power. 39te: ;president, village clerk, police-magistrate and Six trustees fiw^rhom we vote Will need the}-,ing and support 6f •evet$ resident in the community to" lead us successfully through ijie't^xt two years. The nature fine people toeing what it is, this reporter frfas no doubt that when the excitement of tihe election is over, jrour folks w®r rally themselves around our' new officers and give whole-hearted support. By now, each voter ihas rrtojde his choice mentally, and .Jlidro remains only the final procisbs marking his or her ballot. And, of course, it is 'the civic DUTY of each and every adult voting member to go to the polls on Saturday! ,. Now we come to the real issue involved.' In the relatively simple (matter of voting yes or no for incorporation there were twentyfour spoiled ballots! That is, ballots that" wer6 improperly marked. There is- tally ONE way to mark your ballot. That is -- ^ with an X placed squarely inside tihe circle. If you wish to vote a straight ticket, mark an X in the circle to the lefit of the party of your choice. If you split your ticket, Mark an X in the square to the left of your candidate's name. Our election is in the hands of fine and capable people and they will handle their part of the job if you will do yours. The polls will be open from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 'the beachhouse. Get out and vote! Let's Have a Picnic Sunday morning, seven willing workers responded to the call for . assistance at the beach in install- * ing picnic benches. Lee Sawdo, George McOuat, Fred! Matthesius, George Harker, Clayton Nelson, Ed Hammerstein, Sr., and Jake Levesque pooled their energy and as a result we have a fine place at our own beach for a picnic. Pour tables and benches were mounted in concrete. There are two more to be done some time this week. These fellows deserve a pat on the back for giving up their free time in order to add to our convenience and comfort.

"There Ain't No Justice" Our three race horse enthusiasts, Six) Smith, Hugh McDonald and Ole Olsen, left Friday noon to attend the annual running of the Kentucky Derby in Louisville. On the journey down, while passing through Indiana, the McDonald car was sideswiped by a speeding truck which did considerable damage. Fortunately, none of the occupants of either vehicle was injured. At the track, Mr. McDonald joined a long queue to .place a bet on the winning horse. Almost to the window, he heard the announcement of "they're off!" and the window was closed. Besides being unable to place a wager, Hugh also missed the entire race! Fortunately, the trip home was without mishap and the boys admit 'the journey was well worth it. Sid arrived in time to attend1 the birthday celebration Jiis charming wife had planned for him on Sunday.

Besides the Fox »Hver, it contains half of Pistakee lake. In the southmst portion lies part of Lily Lake. McCullom Lake is near the center of the township. Nippersink Creek and many other streams furnish water privileges to nearly every section of the township. This easy access to water accounts for the growing popularity of this region as a Summer resort. T^e township is also known to be rich and productive. The railroad facUities while many believe them to be inadequate for the present needs of the community, do provide two fast trains daily to and from Chicago. McHenry township was one of •the first to be settled. The county seat was located here for ihany years. The first person to settJe in the township was Dr. Christy Wheeler in 1836. Dr. Wheeler opened a small store in McHenry. Next to settle here we find tihe names of McLean. Boon, McCollum, Ladd, Walker and Sutton. They came from Vermont, Ohio and Maine. Wm. and David McColluirt lived in McHenry until their death. Wm. Hankins and his aunt, Mrs. Valentine, were among the early residents. The first recorded wedding was that of Joseph Fellows and Christiana Robinault in 1839. The first birth was . a daughter bom to Mrs. Christy Wheeler. The first death was that of Wm. Herrick, who accidentally shot himself while crossing the ice on the Fox river. It Seems his horse fell through the ice and his rifle was accidentally discharged, killing Mr. Herrick. Miss McOmber taught school in the first school, a log house erected on the banks of the river. Christy Wheeler became the first postmaster in (the township of McHenry in 1837. Later the post office was moved to West McHenry by some subterfuge. This caused a great deal of bad feeling that lasted until 1883 when a post office was established in the other section too. Education kept pace with the other townships in tihe county and in 1883 the township boasted a small library "from which the scholars glean much useful knowledge." WG<4c£M> VA PROGRAM A Veterans Administration representative from the Rockford VA office will be on duty at Woodstock' Tuesday, May 17, to inform and assist veterans, their dependents and 'the general public regarding all benefit programs of the VA.

Trustee OLE T. vOLSgN, Trustee TAKE A CARD You, too, can do card tricks and you don't need any special paraphernalia. magic wand or mumbo jumbo. Just a deck of ordinary playing cards and a fellow conspirator. Now try this card trick, "Tap Happy." on your friends next time you attend a party. Take any nine cards from the deck while making cert a i n t o , i n c l u d e one Nine (Nine o f . S p a d e s , Nine of Diamonds, etc.). Lay them out, face up, in the form of an "H" (as shown in the illustration). Have' your accomplice leave the room while you get one of your audience to select one of the cards in the pattern--without removing it, of course. Then call your assistant back in. Without speaking a word, proceed to tap each of the cards once, one at a time. Your partner gets his clue in where you tap the Nine card. You see, the pattern of <the pips on the Nine card corresponds to the pattern of your nine-card layout Thus, if someone has selected the Four Of Spades in the lower right-hand cof» ner. you tap the lower right-hand pip on the Nine. Where you tap fh» other cards makes little diflferttlCB but you should try pot to make your tap on the Nine any different th*» your others. ' \ f f Your accomplice should wait untjji . after you have tapped all the cards before he tells what card has been selected. '<• You will find that around th# third or fourth time you do the trick everyone in your audience will ftav£ his own pet theory as to how It works. You can alter the trick by using more than one tap per card, by having more than one nine in thfe: layout, or by many other variations. "Tap Happy" is one >of several card tricks contained in a colorful, illustrated booklet, "It's All in the Cards," recently published and offered in exchange for an Ace of Spades from an old or used deck, lis addition, the booklet contains som# interesting facts about the little^ known history of cards," suggests some exciting variations on old games, lists a few unusual uses for cards and otherwise provides county less ways for you to get more fuii out of your deck of playing cardaL To get your copy send an Ace off Spades to Playing Cards. 420 Lex? ington Avenue, New York 17, N.
