Traffic violaters think that traffic law enforcement is unfair, that it's impossible to observe traffic regulations at all times, and that their violations didn't endanger themselves or anyone else, according to a study of the opinions of 200 violaters that was made by the New York University Center for Safety Education. Twice Told Tales Fifty Yean Ago Taken From The Flies Of July 10, 191S Startled surgeons halted their glistening knives midway in their move toward the human form recumbent on the operating table before them; white clad nurses, accustomed to peculiar phases of distraught patients, paused in their preparations for what a Milwaukee husband stationed in the visitors' balcony was bracing himself to see as a most trying ordeal, while the sick and the dying in the wards never would have dreamed of the origin of a sweet beautiful song which floated thru the corridors of a Minneapolis hospital. Altho the powerful anesthetic held her body in a painless, sense bereft, grip it was some minutes later before its deadening fumes choked off the subconscious song of the patient, who all ignorant of what she was doing, learned the particulars later when her health had been restored. By what some persons would term fate the song was "Good-by, Sweet Day." Local folks will be interested to know the singer was no other than Mrs. Belle Gallagher Wooster, a Milwaukee soprano, and former McHenry girl who had just completed a season as understudy of the leading soprano in the pageant "Light and Darkness" which played in the Chicago coliseum.

Next Sunday afternoon the Elgin Athletics will be here to do battle with the fast going 1 McHenryites and a good game is assured. McHenry is now going at top notch speed and is out to hang up a record never before equaled by a team wearing a McHenry uniform. Forty Years Ago. Taken From The Files Of July 12, 1923 A number of Chicago autoists, returning home via the slippery Lake county roads, ditched their machines on the afternoon and evening of July 4. The rain over in Lake county was the heaviest in the vicinity of Lake Villa, Fox Lake and Volo and anyone who has ever experienced these roads after a heavy rain can readily appreciate their condition after the heavy rain. Some of the machines were still to be towed out two days after the rain. The Smith motor bus line, which formerly operated a service between Elgin and Aurora, last week opened a regular service between the Watch City and McHenry and since that time a regular two hour schedule has been maintained between the two points* McHenry which has been experiencing more than its share of deaths in recent weeks was again thrust in sorrow last Saturday when Clyde Kent passed away after a short illness.

Miss Angela Petesch made the low gross score as registered by the daughters.

This happy family resides in a cozy home at 3901 West Kane avenue, McHenry. He is a Past Commander of McHenry Post No. 49-, American Legion, being the first son of a former past commander to head the local veteran's organization, his father, Charles J., having served as the second commander shortly after the post was organized in the fall of 1919. He has served on our high school board, is interested in all sports and shoots a good game of golf. He is a partner in one of the oldest business firms in McHenry which was established by Simon Stoffel, his grandfather, in 1884. This is our new president, Herbert Charles Reihansperger. This next meeting we hope to have a report by Al. Barbian on the recent luncheon honoring our new international president, Carl P. Miller, of Los Angeles, and the dinner meeting honoring our new district governor Dick Longtin, of Skokie. Al, as <jur voting delegate, headed a delegation from our club at both of these affairs where many old acquaintances were renewed and new ones made. Torchy Krause will have some news regarding the annual outing for our friends at the Children's home in Woodstock. This affair is always looked forward to with a great deal of enthusiasm by our members as it includes the families of the Rotarians as well as our little guests. All of us participate in the games, planned usually by Ernie Useman and his helper, Chuck Peterson. It also presents an opportunity for our "cook-out" experts to show off their talents as specialists in preparing hotdogs, hamburgers and serving pop, etc. The Rotary Anns are a very important part of this program too, as they take no chances with the reputation the specialists brag about. They always have some extra food, potato salad, baked beans, rolls, etc., on hand as insurance against hot dogs and hamburgers possibly being too well done or burned to a crisp. Let us all give the new president another 100 per cent meeting. "If you can't be there: Make up."
