NEW WATER SUPPLY TO BE AVAILABLE SOON (Continued from Page 1) removal processes will continue until the storage tank is lull, or near full, at which time c o n t r o l s a u t o m a t i c a l l y s h u t down the pumps. The new gravel-packed well has a capacity of 800 gallons per minute, or 1,152,000 gallons per day, and extends 57 feet into the ground. The site was selected after engineers had conducted a survey of the cntiie community, in which drilling took place in four places to find the most suitable locution. An import ant feature of the pumping station is a stand-by generator and gas engine to be used in case of power failure. The new, 500,000-gallon storage tank, which will take over the duties of the old water tower on Waukegan road, a McHcnry landmark since 1897, will increase the storage capacity for the city about seven times. It stands 171 feet from ground to peak and is 55 feet in diameter. Tower Removal Contemplated The old tower will eventually be taken down, but connections between the old well and the new tower will remain in case ol an emergency. The city found it necessary to install the new pumping station and well when rapid population growth resulted in inadequate pressure to supply the amount of water needed. Without the new installation, insurance rates would doubtless have been raised. Twelve-inch pipes run from the pumping station to the tower, and 10-inch pipes from the tower to the various parts ol the city. Extensions have been made in Millstream subdivision to the westerly portion of Maple avenue. Residents in the area served may secure water by installing their own connections to the main line. American Indians knew and uspd pop corn, and often mixed maple sirup in it to improve the flavor. GH TOO HEAVY? Make tfiat obesity support Doc prttcribed an OTC support BOLGER'S Drug Store 103 S.

BE WISE USE CLASSIFIEDS Changing Times Point Up New Fair Interest In McHenry County This is fair time in McHenry county, and while activities are still planned primarily to display the creative talent and accomplishments of youth of the area, the annual event has also taken on a new aspect in recent years. The county fair of 1961 points up the region as an; industrial area, and a list of the factories in the county reveals 1 almost 200 firms manufacturing a wide variety of items in! many categories. I McHenry and many of the other local communities j still count among their residents many commuters, but the | growing number of industrial plants now provide considerable! employment for a fast growing population. It is only natural that the county fair should highlight I among its many features the industry which has become so I important to the economic welfare of the region. - It is in-1 teresting to note that appropriations made by the state1 legislature help counties in their efforts to do so. In the case of McHenry county, funds came from this source to build! a new 60x120 industrial exhibit hall which has just been, completed. j Each year between 25,000 and 30,000 people attend the j county fair, and each year new attractions are added as the , interest of the public varies. Fair officials have a sincere j desire to keep this annual event outstanding, and to do so! have been willing to change emphasis with the changing times. noon on the 21st day of July, 1961. 'i.

Fegers and driven by William Stoffel, Sr., woh last Sunday's motor boat race in a handy "manner, the winner crossing the line a trifle over four minutes ahead of its nearest competitor, the "Joseph Ja." The race was the first heat of three for a beautiful cup donated by the McHenry Power Boat club. Lewis Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Miller of this place, was united in rnairiage to Miss Edna Wicks of Woodstock at St. Mary's rectory at the county seat Thursday morning. J. E. Jacobs, of Elgin, who was here last week searching for pearls, was well rewarded. In the third shell that he picked Up, he found one of the finest pearls that has ever been taken from the Fox river. The finder of the pearl has been offered close to $1,00U for the gem. F. A. Holly of Genoa and C. F. Block of Dundee, went pearl hunting last Saturday and in opening about a bushel of clams, they picked up, were rewarded by finding a pearl on which they put a value of 550. A scientist says that :f the earth were birdless, man Cv>uld not inhabit it longer than nine years. All the sprays and poisons in the world could not keep down insects, which would eat up everything in the way of living foliage and plant life. William Gallaher, Jr., a former McHenry resident, entertained about fifteen of his young friends at his home in Milwaukee Thursday evening in honor of his twenty-first birthday. He was presented with a gold watch and ring. Miss Dora Stoffel, of this place, was among the guestij, Justice of the Peace, H. C. Mead of this place now holds the county record for performing the earliest morning marriage. At about five o'clock Wednesday morning a couple pulled into town in an auto and after arousing one or two of our families from their slumbers in their anxious endeavor to locate a clergyman they finally located H. C. Mead and within a few minutes the knot was tied. The couple left for Richmond from here which village the bride claims as her home. FORTY YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of July 28, 1931 Blake Sisters, who conduct a millinery store in the Huemann block on the West Side, have just purchased a parlor at Evanston, 111., which in the future will be conducted in conjunction with the local establishment. Misses Kathryn and Elizabeth Blake, who have conducted the local store, have been joined by their sister, Margaret and hereafter the business of the two stores will be looked after by the three sisters. Miss Pauline Works, 20, and Miss Louise Morris, 55, both of Crystal Lake, were killed at a railroad crossing near Ridgefield late Sunday ^uiftcrnoon when a Dodge automobile in which they were riding was struck by a C. & N.W. railway locomotive. Never before in their history have the lotus beds drawn such crowds. Last Sunday was a record breaker, there being no end to the automobiles which passed through this village on their w;iy to and frorii this wonderful sight, while all of the. excursion and passenger boats did a big' business. N. A. Huemann, proprietor and owner of the West Side jewelry and music si ore, informs us that he has sold his motor boat "Rose," to A: P. Geherman of the Hudson motor service of Chicago, who will replace (he present motor with a Hudson, super-six which will give the boat a speed of Ihir'vfive miles an hour. R. F. Clement of Chi-vigo, whose summer home "Clement Lodge" is located about onehalf mile south of the in'idge on Fox river, has just thrown open a new summer resort sub-division. Mr. Clement purchased twelve acres a few years ago and has now divided one half of it into thirty-two lots. Renehan's dancing pavilion at Round Lake is drawing quite a number of our young people these evenings, while Twin Lakes and Lake Geneva, Wis., are also drawing dancers from here^ The more fastidious of our younger set seem to favor the Round Lake dance floor as the best in these parts. Joseph Dittrich, who during the past two years has conducted a tailoring establishment in the Spaulding building on Main street, announces the opening of a ladies' outfitting department, at his store, next Saturday. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS ACiO Taken from the Files of July 23, 1936 Fire started by boys encamped near the Fox liver dam south of town who were playing with matches destroyed a stack of hay containing about fifteen tons on the Henry Felmeten farm Tuesday.

A father and daughter committee also has been formed, with Clarence Murphy assisted Uv Mr. Zanck. by Bill Polkey TV Villain Because you don't see moving parts going round and round like in an engine, many people wonder why an electronic apparatus that stands still should wear out.
