In the future instead of calling me one of the following three deputy sheriffs: Roy Meineke 2506-J, Joe Cina 2684 or Floyd Leigh 1900, and file a complaint with them and they will see to it that the owners of the dogs are fined. From now on you better keep all dogs tied and when .taking them out for a walk siee to it that they are on a leash, or they will be picked up. Lynn Giacome also made her first Holy Communion at St. Mary's church hut I was unable to get in touch with her family to find out how she celebrated it so I will find out more later and will report it in next week's column. Luncheon Gads, Lee Glorch can sure serve the delicious luncheons. Last Thursday Lena Abbinante, Daisy Krupinski, Elaine Jett, myself and my two children were there and we sure enjoyed the dish she had prepared for us and of course the pineapple cake was also delicious.

Music by Metzgcr's orchestra of Woodstock. Tickets, 50 cents. Page Twenty-One From the Elgin News comes the item that all hopes of an ice crop are now relinquished. Not a single cake has been cut in Elgin during the past winter, and an advance price of fifty cents per thousands pounds is assured the consumer during the hot summer months. FORTY YEARS AGO Taken from the files of Apr. 3, 1919 McHenry's biggest store will be re-opened in the near future. Louis Erickson of Stillman Valley has rented the place from Simon Stoffel. The store was closed last summer after the big stock of goods had been disposed of by F. A. Bohlander, who had conducted the place with signal success for over a period of eighteen years. For the first time in the history of Mcl^enryi our saloons were closed all day Tuesday, election day. Even the oldest residents cannot recall when such an occurrence- has taken place in this village. Needless to say that there was considerable thirst on Wednesday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Degen have received word from their son, Mike, that he has arrived safely from overseas. Michael Justen, a long time resident here, passed away at his home Sunday afternoon, at the age of 72 years. Amos Wolff, employed at the Oliver factory at Woodstock, has recently come into possession of a Ford auto bus with which he is now making daily trips to and from the county seat. The bus holds a dozen people and Mr. Wolff experienced little difficulty in securing men, who are now riding back and forth with him. All of the old stumps of trees on the C. W. Stenger place, on the West Side, are being removed this week. Mr. Stenger plans a beautiful landscape; which will make his home one of the prettiest in the village. He will also erect a new private garage on his premises. Mrs. Mary Amann of Fremont Center, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Freund of< McHenry, passed away last week a victim of the flu. She is survived by her husband. William, and five children.' TWENTY-FIVE, YEARS AGO Taken from the files of April 5, 1934 Followed by the most beautiful Spring day, enjoyed this year, Easter Sunday dawned with a steady down-pour of rain and overcast skies. Despite the steady down pour. Hundreds of wdrshippers attended church services and a few new spring outfits were seen intermingled with winter coats. The worst Easter was recorded in 1920, when six inches of snow fell. From the files of twenty years ago comes news that the Plaindealer is now located in its new home in the new addition to the Bank of McHenry building. A house warming was sponsored by friends of Mrs. Katherine Schmitt Sunday evening. Mrs. Schmitt moved from Chihome with her brother, August Kunz. Members of Fox River valley Camp, R.N.A., enjoyed a "Backward Party" in Woodman hall Tuesday evening. Everything was backward from the attire of the members, who were dressed backwards, to the lunch, which was served backwards and the evening was full of., amusing incidents.

McNally TOWN CLERK Q cmzors PARTY Q wraflwii PAH FOR SUPERVISOR. • Gordon E. Sergant FOR HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER • Ben J. May FOR SUPERVISOR • FOR HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER • ; It will take you about 4 minutes to find out why It Pays to a (It could save you hundreds of dollars!) Okay, it's settled. You've thought about it and talked about it and now you've decided: A new car--and soon. Now for the jackpot question. Which '59 car will it be? Unless you happen to be a Mr. Gotrocks, you'll probably think pretty carefully before you finally make the move. You'll do more shopping and compare more closely. And you'll ask yourself some basic questions. How much irill a ?iew car cost me to buy? How much trill it cost me to drive? What do I get for my money? There is no mystery about new car prices Until this year, it was hard to compare different makes of cars to find which offered the most value for the money. It was like comparing apples and bananas. But not any more. Not since all new cars are required to carry price labels. Now, for the first time, you can compare various makes and models and see cxactly what you're getting for your money. It's like exposing the hole cards in a game of stud poker: You know exactly where you stand. Why should you buy a Dodge? No one has to tell you that there are a number of cars on the market that sell for less than a Dodge. No cigar on that count. You know it and we know it. But there are things you get in a Dodge that you simply can't get in these other smaller cars. And this is important. Dodge gives you all of these things--the bigness and roominess, the comfort and ride, the luxury and prestige--for less than other cars in its field. BETTER BV •IIIIIIIOBESS It's not just a few dollars less, either; in many cases it's literally hundreds of dollars less. Some Dodge models are even priced lower than the socalled "low-priced cars." (We'll be happy to show you the actual suggested retail prices.) All cars cost money to run-but how much? It would be nice if you just bought a new car and that was that. It didn't burn gas. Didn't use oil. Never needed service. But that's wishful thinking. Cars do use gas and oil. They do need service occasionally. But that doesn't mean that all cars cost the same to drive and maintain. Not by a jugful. There's a big difference. Dodge is designed to run for less Dodge has always had a reputation for economical operation. People who have owned them have found it costs less to run a Dodge, and that a Dodge needs service less often. Take gasoline economy. .The new Dodge 326 cu. in. Red Ram V-8 engine, because of its design and efficiency, will take you miles farther on a gallon of g«s than tiny other V-8 in the Dodge field. You save money every mile you drive. But that's only part of the story. The way Dodge is engineered and built saves you money on such things as engine wear, brake relining, tune-ups, spark plug replacement. When you add them all up, they represent quite a saving. Another reason why it pays to own a Dodge. What do you get for what you pay? According to Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices, Dodge generally costs less, model for model, than other cars in its field. Fine and dandy. But while price is important, it isn't the only consideration. The real standard of value-- whether you're buying a new car or a can of beans--is what you get for what you pay. It's the "extras" you get at no extra cost that really determine which car is the best buy. Dodge gives you more for less Talk is cheap. Anyone can make claims. So let's be specific about the extras you get in Dodge at no extra cost. Torsion-Aire Ride--conceded the finest suspension in the industry--standard equipment on all Dodge models. Total-Contact Brakes, Safety-Rim Wheels, Electric Windshield Wipers, Independent Parking Brake--all standard on Dodge. Of course, you can also choose from such Dodge options as Push-Button Driving, Full- Time Power Steering and Swing-Out Swivel Seats. There's a big difference In comfort, too Goodness knows, we certainly don't want to knock competition. But we feel obligated to point out the comfort and convenience of the '59 Dodge. If you've tried getting into some of the other '59 cars you know just what we mean. To say it is difficult would honestly be an understatement. That's why we hope you'll come in and compare the difference in Dodge. How much easier it is to get in and out of a Dodge. How much more comfortable it is to sit in a Dodge. How much more room you have to stretch out. Really, it pays to own a Dodge. It doesn't cost a penny to get the facts We don't expect you to rush in and plunk down your money for a new Dodge just on the basis of what you've read. But if what you've read seems to make sense, we do hope you'll stop in to see, to drive and to price a Dodge. We think it's a whale of a buy, but then maybe we're prejudiced. Why not drop in and judge for yourself. We'll be more than happy to give you all the facts. No obligation, of course. f I I I I , ; : • !
