mm MKUtill' • FomieeH THE McHENRY ^LAtWDCAUfR Thursday# April 4, 196® Twice Told Tales V*4 Fifty *«•« A|® -- Men From The FIlA Of March 27, 191S Easter togs in McHenry last Sunday were about us scarce ~Qs bom' leeth- Thiit horrid old west her man had to "butt" in with a heavy rain. As a result the now spring lids were Jaid aside to be worn next Sunday, weather permitting. It is being rumored around town that McHenry Is to have a restaurant. This is something that the village, especially the West Side, has been in need of for some time and wo believe the venture would be a paying one. The people of this village and surrounding country were given a slight idea of what a real hurricane is like on Sunday night last, when one of the most severe wind storms lhat has ever visited this section visited, us. The thunderous roaring of a mighty wind awakened our citizens about one o'clock and before it was over many of them were up and dressed and some had entered the cellars of their homes. West of town a num- Ikm- of barns and out buildings were moved several feet. The greatest damage was done on the Allendorf f:irm, the Thomas farm, the John Boyle farm and Schiller's place at McCullom Lake. Do the people of McHenry want gas? This Is a question that will be nut to them squarely and it remains entirely with us whether or not the mains will be extertded to this village. In anr\ver to letters written to the congressman, Mr. Coyley assured our people that the mains would be extended to this village provided a suf-, ficient amount of business could be assured him by the McHenry people to pay the company to make the extension. The members of the Social Wheel met at the home of Mrs J. W. Smith, Saturday afternoon, where they were entertained by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. J. C. Holly. Mrs. A. E. Nye, who was a guest of honor, was declared the winner of the prize in the contest entitled "The Romance of Rose." At the close of the afternoon'? festivities delicious refreshments wore served, the favors being unusually unique. Mrs. E. J. Hanly assisted by Mrs. D. G. Nellis will entertain at their next meeting. Forty Years Ago Taken From The File# Of March 29, 192S. The McHenry high school basketball quintet gave the Lane Tech lightweights, champions in their class in Chicago, a real argument at the McHenry high school gym last. Saturday night before one ot the largest crowds that ever packed the place. The final score was 19 to 17. The Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee electric line, which recently was granted a permit to operate a motor bus line between the cities of Waukcgan and Woodstock, via Grayslake and McHenry, expects to inaugurate the service between these points as soon as the roads get in condition. From Ostend comes the news that George and Annie Matyes have not been able to get to school since the big snowstorm over two weeks ago. There has not been a track through the snow past their house since the first snow. J. N. Sayler delivered mail Monday with his car for the first time for several days. He was obliged to have a team and wagon to make the trip last week. From quarter of a century conies the news that teachers in our public school, Jessie Baldwin, Kate Howe, Frances rne and Mrs. Mary Oofeto, visited the Dundee school Thursday. Andrew Eddy walked out to I Herendeen Joun at Banneville j one day last week where || he spent the day as a guest of Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Nellis. He decided on an easier way to ~e» horr.c that night by ridinp a horse Mr. Nellis had been keeping for him during the winter months. Rpbs and sleighs, which were quite the general thing two weeks ago, have once more given way to the oUj^-^Jiabfe wagon altho machines *tre also being used again. The toads between here and Johnshurg are again passable altho they could still stand mCicti improvement. 0 UNIT 491 Oreliesira music wtll add to^ the festivities at St. Mury's church here Sunday morning. Special music with orchestra accompaniment has been rehearsed for some time and worshippers who attend the 10:15 o'clock mass are pro- Mised something out of the ordinary. On account of the bad condition of the roads, which made is impossible for out-of-town members of the McHenry band to get in for rehearsals, the concert which was to have taken place April 11, has been indefinitely postponed. Twenty-Five Years Ago Taken From The Files Of March 81, 1988 At the Country Club on Sunday large numbers of golfers found the course in good condition for playing and lawn raking and bonfires as well as outdoor games, roller skating and kite flying are reminders of spring. At least a month earlier than last year the first garden planting has taken place and onion sets and early seeds in the ground are another sign of spring. Rev. Mlnar Gerrard, pastor of the Methodist church, will give the first of his Lenten sermon "Three Crosses on Col vary," Sunday. Plans are being made for the Palm Sunday and Easter services, when there will be special music by the choir and there will be baptisms and new members received. There will be considerable activity at the church and parsonage grounds, Saturday, when members of the Epworth League will tear down the old church. The church grounds will soon be graded, levelled and landscaped also. The church basement which has been made into meeting rooms, a kitchen and dining room will be ready for use in about a week. From "So I Hear" -comes the news that the basketball game between the old timers and the young sports last Saturday night was just what the doctor ordered. Never saw a crowd derive so much fun out of a game. It was full of cheers and laughs. None of that tense feeiing was necessary. Nobody expected much of the older boys. They had been out of the game too long. But, the old boys came to life in the second half and showed si*ed and tricks that made them the class of the county in their da>. People who hadn't seen a game since Tige was a pup were on hand. The idea, which belong* to "Marty" Conway, was such a grand success that it ma> become an annual event. The score made little difference in this game of games. The high school boys won 47 to 31. That was to be expected. If greatest interest to the fans was to see our great players of ten to fifteen years ago trot out to see just how much of the old skill was left. The game opened with Gus Freund at center, "Zeke" Bacon and Sid Whiting at forward, Marty" Conway and Jim Fay at guard, and Lester Bacon back at his By Mary Einspar Eighty-three Attended the annual father-daughter banquet given by t he junior auxiliary of McHenry Unit 491.
