TSursday, September 1. 1960 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Johnsbuxg LARGE CBOWD. BANDS. FLOATS MARK DEDICATION f fcy Betty Hettermann , It has been a long time since o$ town saw so much activity as went on last Sunday. Hundreds of persons from near find' far were on hand to witness the parade prior to the dedication of the new Johnstiurg Rescue Squad building. Spine twenty-eight floats, drill teams, marching bands, etc., participated in making this day the success it was. Following the disbanding of t)£ parade, the crowd proceeded to the new building where introduced the guest speakers of the afternoon. M a n y interested persons Earl Walsh was on hand to act as master of ceremonies and toured the new home of the rescue squad and were amazed at the terrific job these fellows have done in constructing the bunding with the help of many oilers. This buildiog will stand as a reminder to one and all, that iii case of an emergency, our own Johnsburg rescue squad is ready and willing to help those in need, no matter in what hour of the day and ni^ht. I'm sure words cannot be found to express the gratitude the squad members feel tow^- ds all the wonderful people \vho helped in making their big dedication day a most memorable one. An incident which marred their celebration somewhat was a call to a car accident scene Sunday afternoon. The accident involved two cars near the chapel by the golf course. Two persons were taken to the McHenry hospital for fdfcher emergency treatment. A Fast reminder of the dance coming up next Saturday night, Sept 3, sponsored by the fescue squad. The proceeds of this dance will enable the squad to maintain its equipment' at the highest level. This is one small way you can show your appreciation to . the fellows. Why not get a group toand go over to the community club hall and join in cpi the fun. Tickets can be pur- Chased from any of the squad members or at the door.

Very Good THE DRIVER'S SEAT A recent rash of 'teen-age drag racing in a midwestem city brought mixed, and somettones curious reaction from the adult population. Newspapers headlined the story of 'teen-aged gangs which took over a portion of a busy highway an the outskirts af the city and staged drag races during the evening hours. The youngsters even stopped traffic to keep the highway clear for their sport. Publicity resulted in action by local police to stop these dangerous antics, but for days afterward- the press was full of comments by adults who had read the headlines and press stories. Generally, the adult reaction was one of alarm and demands that the police take stern action. "Put the punks in jail!", was the tenor of most of tlhe letters to the editors. Some adults disagreed.
