Tl\ere will GAS PUMP THOUGHTS By: Ed Guettler Some alarmists in our country fear that the motorcar industry may run out of customers. Everybody and his brother seems to be driving a car. But I'll bet that the advertisers never run out of words describing the new models each year. And neither will our old customers run out of words in describing the fine auto service at GUETTLER'S CITIES SERVICE. And this alone will keep us from running out of new customers. Drive-in at Highway 31, McHenry, 111., and you'll start talking, too.

There are still many girls and women eligible to join and we would like very much to add their names to our membership list.

If the delinquent members do not pay by Nov. 11 there will be a fine. This is not to be construed as a form of punishment but rather as an incentive to pay before that date since the unit is anxious to be among those honored by enrolling 100 per cent by that date. Plans for a pot-luck supper on Nov. 11 were made at the last meeting. It was also announced that Mary Kantorski, qwith the help of several members, will bake fruit cake to, raise funds for the Junior^' treasury.

McHenry Comity Through The • By Maris Sdiaengen " Chapter 50 Riley Township Riley township was settled by Whitman Cobb in 1836. This township was located in the southwestern part of the county, joining Boone county on the west, Kane county on the south, Coral township on the east and Marengo on the north. The township - consists mostly of prairie land with fine residences. Large farms under good cultivation were common. The.first, white child bora in this township was Ezra O- Kn&pp, the first marriage was that of Spencer Flanders and Caroline Cobbs. The first physician was Dr. Albert E. Smith. Riley was the only townirf»il» 4 the county to erect a building t6 be used exclusively for meetings and elections. This was a flecewity since there was no village and no public building where elections couid be held. The first officers of this township included Ira EL Searles, E. Babcock, N. E.' Barnes, A. P. Smith, J. L. Jenkins, Jesse Felloys and F. C*; Griffith. The last two named.! were justices of the peace. • The first election was held on April 24, 1850, with Enoch Babr: cock as moderator, which title probably is comparable to oiir judge of election. /John Brotzman was 6ne of the iftnost prominent citizens of the township.
