THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER "Serviag The Chain-O-Lakes Regies Slice 187? Volume 87 -- No. 27 -- 3 Sections McHENRY. ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1961 22 Pages -- 10c Per Copy wmm Thanksgiving is not far off, and to properly acquaint her kindergarten pupils with the reason for celebration of the day, Mrs. Arlene Pearson spent considerable time last week talking about it to the VAA ff*te r explaining to the little ortes that the Pilgrims came to our shores to get away from the king, and to have religious freedom, she impressed upon them that in our great country everyone may worship where he pleases. To emphasise her point, she asked two little girls where they attended church. The first child flrid she went to St. Mary's, while the second youngster gave her church as St. Patrick's. A small boy was next, and in answer to her question, he said proudly, "I go to St. Methodist." "Last week we made mention of the need for the wheels of stice developing some "getand go." Well, last Saturday they "got up and went" according to Fred Wahl, who received the $465 and one ring recovered from last January's burglary at his jewelry store. We could let ourselves be carried away with words of praise for our Warriors and their completed season as untreated North Suburban conference champs, and every word would be most deserved. However, we'll let our sports editor, S. I. H., 1 delve into the details of their accomplishments. We would like to say a few words for those men who are oft every sports fan's "black list" when -the -team-is down, «mely, the coaches. Because is is a sports-minded country, there is probably no one in the public eye, except a politician, who receives more criticism when the going gets rough. If this is true, then they are certainly deserving of just as much credit when they guide a victory such as McHenry's athletes just chalked up. ^ And before closing, may we remind anyone who might accidentally miss the sports page this week, don't do it. On it appears one of the finest letters we have read in a long time, sent to Ron Freund concerning his work in the deciding championship game, as well as the ability of other team members and coaches. TTiis is sportsmanship at its €fest! After a most pleasant dinner -party as guests of the Elks •club in Woodstock last Thursday evening;, we are convinced that much of the popularity of this club must have come about through the hospitality of its members and the type of program they promote. ^ Believing firmly in the importance of patriotism in these troubled times, the club secured 35,000 buttons with the American flag on them, to be d i s t r i b u t e d t o t h e v a r i o u s schools in the county. It is their hope that they will be worn throughout the week before Nov. 11 (Veterans' Day) as a reminder of its importance to these young people. -^.Last week's dinner was in honor of the press and their efforts to promote Americanism, and also the county's schools, whose representatives were given quantities of the buttons to distribute. Present Key To City Kotalik Studio Photo One of the most impressive nights in Warrior history came last Friday on McCracken field when the team and coaches were presented with a key to the city. Even the intense cold of the evening failed to detract from the spirit of the occasion, as hundreds came to see the completion of an undefeated season as the squad claimed victory over a strong Dundee team by a score of 14 to 6. Pictured above at last Friday night's presentation were Frank Low, president of the Chamber of Commerce; Mayor Donald P. Doherty; Co-Captains Ron Freund and Paul Morenz; Coach and Mrs. Paul Mandli. A smiling Mrs. Mandli also holds a bouquet of beautiful red roses given her by the city and C of C. Se'ectien Of County As Site For New Industry Awaits Employment Stud In connection with Nov. 11. memories will no doubt remain very vivid this year of 1961 for old timers who recall the first Armistice Day observance just -forty-three years ago. It was Ori that date in 1918 when all 4he guns fell silent and World War I, the most terrible war until that time, was over. Two years later, at its second national convention, the • American Legion, in Cleveland, Ohio, passed a resolution asking that Nov. 11 be made a Rational holiday. In 1938 Congress proclaimed the date as •just that. But time moved on, and the United States sent many more men into a second World War. To recognize these new veter- •ans. the Legion sponsored h bill to change the date from Armistice Day to Veterans' (Ton tin lied on Page 8) The industrial future of McHenry county may receive a real boost if contemplated plans of a nationally known firm are carried out. In recent weeks, representatives of a well known and respected cosmetics manufacturing business have spent considerable time in Woodstock, making a survey of the area and expressing their interest in opening a new plant there in the near future. The prospect of the industry locating in our midst is good news for the entire county, for it promises to create between 500 and 700 new jobs for men and women when the plant is in full operation. What the new plant could mean to the financial prosperity of the county should be evident by the fact that the industry would mean an annual multi-million dollar payroll. Send Questionnaires The prime consideration in making a final selection ori Woodstock as its future home is the availability of employees in this area. To ascertain just what ihe potential will be. questionnaires have been sent through the mail and distributed in the various county schools. They are also available at all financial institutions. On Page 18 of this week's issue of the Plaindealer is one of the questionnaires which may be filled out and returned as indicated thereon. It is of utmost importance that interested persons indicate their availability by this method to assure the plant locating in the county. Permanent employment is promised in skilled and unskilled office and production work for both men and women 18 years old and over. Some seasonal jobs will also be available. The products to be manufactured have lone been associated with fashion and are well known for their quality. The manufacturers themselves now operate plants in five other cities, and sales and employment have been on the increase each year. WONDER LAKE MAN BOUim SOBBED OF $ 1.36S BY THREE The county sheriffs office is still attempting to locate the three men who tied an elderly Highland Shores, Wonder Lake, man in his home Friday evening and made away with $1,366 in cash, several guns and other items. The trio posed as police officers when they approached the Hoyle home on the pretext of making inquiry regarding some difficulty with Mr. Hoyle's auto license plates. After taking him with them to look at the plates, they informed him that it would be necessary to fill out a report. Two of them accompanied Hoyle back into the house, while a third went to the car for the expressed purpose of getting a report blank. On his return, they grabbed Hoyle, bound and gagged him. The trio made away with the large sum of money and numerous items, including a wallet and watch. KIWANIS PLANS FINE PROGRAM TO HONOR ATHLETES $150,000 IN XMAS CLUB CHECKS ARE MAILED THIS WEEK This week the McHenry State bank mailed Christmas club checks to more than 1,- 000 club members. The total amount mailed is in excess of $150,000. Each year the club continues to grow both in membership and in amount saved. Nation-wide surveys have disclosed that about one-third of the amount saved will be need for Christmas shopping. Another one-third will be con- (Continued on Page 8) Banquet chairman, Dr. Leslie Krieger, announces that plans are proceeding nicely for the fourteenth annual Kiwanis football banquet. This year, in honor of the conference champions, he feels the turn-out will be the best in fourteen years. The date is set for Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. An interesting speaker is promised and the program as a whole is excellent. Tickets for the event are on sale from Kiwanis members and at the high school. The Kiwanis sponsor this event to honor the football team. It should be pointed out that the Kiwanis club of McHenry also provides a scholarship to one boy and one girl each year. They also sponsor the merit award dinner honoring the outstanding eighth grade boy and girl from each | of the local grade schools. | A full 100 per cent of the I funds raised by Kiwanis is used { locally in projects to benefit ! yout h. All club expenses are j paid by the members themi selves. None of the donated money is used for club expenses I but alibis put back into the community. Note Changes Within City Every few weeks it is interesting to review some of the changes and improvements which are in progress throughout the city, and at this time, several have been attracting considerable attention from the public. Comments have been heard concerning the increased pressure of the water since the new plant went into operation last Thursday. This is, as it was planned by the city when they selected the highest point -- Cooney Heights -- to install the new tower, On Elm street, the new National Tea building is nearing completion. The new store is scheduled to open next Tuesday, Nov. 14. El's Beauty salon is moving from Rt. 120, east of the city, to its new home on Main street, while the Agatha shop will move soon to another location farther south on Green street. On the corner of Green and Elm streets, too, more changes are noted. A new sidewalk is being laid on the east side of the street, and a new, large awning will be installed on the Pries buildings, extending from east of the corner on Elm to the Regner building on Green, street.

The actual observance of the week has been delayed until Wednesday, Nov. 15, when a P.T.A. meeting will be held in three schools, Edgebrook, Hilltop and Valley View. Parents are invited to visit their children's classrooms, where teachers will be present to explain the school program. On Nov. 16, the same procedure will be followed at Junior high and Landmark. Last week, in advance of Education Week, a most interesting and educational arts and crafts workshop was held, attended by teachers from throughout the county. Mrs. Eleanor Foley, principal of Edgebrook school, where the workshop was held, said each session was well attended. COUNTESS PULASKI laski, an agent for the British Intelligence during World War II, was assured. The thrilling events which led up to this moment will be revealed to the audience on Tuesday, Nov. 14, at the McHenry Country (Continued on Page 8) • dancing The hearing before the McHenry Zoning commission last Thursday night at the high school was well attended by many persons vitally interested in the plan and the effect it may have on their property. Some in attendance voiced objections to certain portions of the proposed zoning as they studied a large, colored map of the city and an area within one and one-half miles of the city. All suggestions and objections were recorded for further study by the commission. When the study is completed, the plan will De submitted to the City Council for further review and action. It appeared that some changes will be made in certain areas before the plan is finally adopted. LEGION HOLDS FLAG RAISING RITE NOV. 11 In observance of Veterans Day on Saturday, Nov. 11, the Legion Post, No. 491, is planning a flag raising ceremony, with colors at half mast at 11 o'clock in the morning.

How Did Warriors Dqijt? How did the Warriors develop into a ^team that smashed conference and school "records, brought the first Conference Championship to McHenry, became the only Warrior football team in history to close a season undefeated, and nearly placed a full eleven men on the All-Conference list. These are only the accomplishments that can be shown in black and white -- they are the tangible fruits of a tremendously successful season. But what about the results that don't stop with records? How did these boys and coaches bring boundless pride to their parents and friends, the school they represent, and the grateful city with which they are associated? This question can best be answered by an action that was taken Tuesday afternoon concerning a longstanding football policy. Every year the squad votes for a most valuable offensive player and most valuable defensive player, whose names are added to the Wagner and Useman trophies. This year the awards will read: Offensive' Team 1961 -- Defensive Team 1961. Because of the "all for one" Warrior spirit shown through the entire year, the squad decided that there were no players who could be considered the most valuable. The season was team played and the success was team achieved -- and this fact can explain how the Warriors did it. But let a very important point not be overlooked -- every coach who had a hand in developing those boys should also be considered as part of the team. That includes Cliff Fulton and Bob Hendrichs who broke them into the rugged sport; through Chuck Cuda and Dean Hargis who tried to knock off the roughest edges while instilling greater desire to crack pads harder; and finally to the men who are really under the gun, Assistant Coaches Don Seaton and Bill Hutchinson,, and Head Coach Paul Mandli. It's these three who can pass to no one else -- what they get is theirs to finally mold into a clean, healthy bunch of boys who want to win -- not at all costs, but through fair and intelligent means. It isn't easy to tell a seventeen-yr.-old to "legally" crack another player as hard as his 165 lbs. will permit, then shake hands and say "nice game," win or lose. And it's even harder to get teammates to smash each other. What a sad and unfortunate situation when fans hang i the coach of a losing team in effigy, then pay greatest tribute to the players of a winning team. Postgame ceremonies Friday night indicated that McHenry sees the valid value of coach and player. Whether they be back or lineman, assistant or head coach, they are all part of the team, and it was a key realization of everyone concerned in the Warrior success that it takes a united effort to achieve the highest goals. Action has been taken against • several young men, all from Cook and Lake counties, for their part in break-ins in the McHenry area over a period covering more than six months. Justice of the Peace Joe Ritter in Woodstock fined James Bach, 17, $100 and costs on a charge of petty larceny concerning the illegal entry to Ray's Creamy Cone at Johnsburg last July. O r i g i n a l l y , t h e c h a r g e against Bach was larceny, but Judge William M. Carroll, in circuit court .Friday, allowed a motion to nolle prosse the charge. It will be remembered that Bach and three other Chicagoans were apprehended by the sheriff's deputies on night patrol the evening of July 22. James Hargarten, 21, was found feigning sleep in a car back of the establishment. Later he implicated the others, including Bach, as his accomplices. Entrance had been made by breaking a lock in the door with a bumper jack. A cigarette machine was smashed and $22 taken from it. Hargarten recently pleaded not guilty and his case will come up before Judge Cooney on Nov. 22. Richard Kaczmarkek also pleaded not guilty. The fourth, Ronald Gees, pleaded guilty and asked probation which was granted, but a provision of his probation was to spend four months in the county jail, which sentence he is now servihg. Given Probation The three Lake county youths were placed on probation last Friday by Judge Carroll. James LeVand, 19, of Fox Lake, pleaded guilty to a burglary charge and larceny of the Halles store at Lilymoor in August. He must make restitution in the amount said to have been taken in cigarettes and soft drinks. LeVand's probation of two years was granted when it was learned he had never been in serious trouble previously. Jerry Cleary. 18. of Libertyville and Charles A. Russo, 17, both of Libertyville, drew a three-year probation period from the judge on a charge of burglary and larceny of Pitzen's camp at Pistakee Bay last March. They also must make restitution of the money, which was about $50, and loot which was said to run about $75. Both Cleary and Russo are on probation in Lake county for five-year periods for offenses there. Injuries, some of a critical nature, occurred in several of this week's accidents. Most serious of the crashes occurred just before noon on Saturday on Rt. 12, south of Rt. 134, near Big Hollow. Al' four occupants of the two cars involved were brought to McHenry hospital by the Fox Lake rescue squad. According to the Lake county sheriff's office, Douglas Fuller of Wauconda pulled in front of a second car and attempted to make a left turn when the crash occurred. He was blamed for failure to yield the right-of-way. Fuller received only minor injuries and a passenger, Sam Twinam, was discharged after treatment. In the second car were Joseph Tothfalusi of Hammond, Ind., who was visiting his brother in Fox Lake at the time of the accident. He was reported in very critical condition in McHenry hospital Tuesday morning. The condition of another occupant of that car, Imre Nemeth, of Fox Lake, was also described as critical but he had improved somewhat by mid-week. Other Crashes Two were injuried when a car driven by Richard Brod of Lakeland Park was reportedly forced off the road near the intersection of Rt. 120 and Johnsburg road, east' of McHenry. (Continued on Page 8) The City Council meeting on Monday night moved along in good fashion as reports of officers Were reviewed, bills approved and business at hand dispatched. An attempt is being made to provide off-street parking at the rear of buildings on the west side of Riverside Drive with an entrance on Pearl street and exit on Elm street. This will require cooperative effort on the part of the property owners and the city. Acquisition of the necessary property appeared to be a stumbling block in this plan. A second plan would call for improvement of Pearl street and the installation of parking meters. With no solution reached. Mayor Doherty announced that further study of plans and cost would be given to the problem. The Council recently advertised for bids to furnish a new police car and found the only bidder to be A. S. Blake Mo-, tors, Inc. It was voted to accept the bid to furnish a 1962 Plymouth police pursuit car at a cost of $1,690 plus the tradein of the 1961 model now in use. It has been found economical to trade in the police car each year. Pay School Tuition It was also decided that members of the department attending police schools would be paid public transportation costs and tuition, if any, and would not be required to take their shifts of duty on days when they are attending school.
