* Thursday, August 27/1959 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Nine Wonder Lake V "SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK" IN WONDER LAKE by Jane Ducey -- 2731 -The "Swim At Your Own Iwsk" signs which were posted at all Wonder Lake beaches Monday afternoon will probably remain there for another week. The notices of pollution in the Lake were erected after a report came from the Springfield office of the Illinois Health Department at 2 p.m. Monday that there should be no swimming in the Lake un- U1 further notice. ^Thomas Philbin of the State Health Department, with offices in Aurora, met wi Woodstock City Manager Pet Pa key Monday afternoon (Snd inspected the Woodstock age treatment plant, after see ing -the results of the testing of water samples taken from Wonder Lake beaches. Pakey said the pollution of tiae Lake was probably due to "e combined results of the breakdown of the lifting station, the Tappen street sewer and the tmatment plant. The sewage treatment plant was out of order July 31, during which time sewage which was not completely processed was turned into Nippersink< creek. The lifting station and the treatment plant are now back «operation. Work on the Tapn street sewer was scheduled to start Tuesday and is expected to be completed by Saturday, Aug. 29. Philbin will check on the pperation of the treatment plant and the sewer in Woodstock at the end of the week. Water samples from our beaches will again be taken when this repair „is complete, Apd if the bacterial count has nillen to the level considered safe by the health department, the restriction will be lifted; Several days are required from | the time the samples are taken until the reports are received. It should be pointed out that t it is not so much the number of bacteria as it is the kind of organism which the. Health Deartment considers alarming, vidence of the presence of a single typhoid micro-organism, for example,, results in the closing of a beach. Other bacteria which are commonly found in sewage, on the other hand, become alarming only when found in high concentration. Our Lake contamination is of the garden variety type of bacterium, some of which are likely with us at all times. Investigation of the possible contamination from farm animals along the creek is "under consideration, in as much as the 10 mile passage of the creek from Woodstock should do much to purify the water under normal conditions. Nativity to Break Ground For New Church August 30 Ground will be broken for the new $115,000 Nativity Lutheran church on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 30, at 3 p.m. The service will take place on the new church site in Parker's Highlands, located south of the present church on the county j blacktop.

The community is invited, to attend this long awaited event in the life of Nativity, as well as the reception to be held at the church after the ground breaking.
