State tax collection figures in 1963 shows our state ranking thirty-eighth nationally, with state public school revenue accounting for 23.2 per cent of total state tax collections.

Nationally, Illinois ranked forty-first, forty-second and eighth, respectively. One of the pet peeves of a good many people is the ex press lane in super markets which, we are told, are for shoppers with five items or less. Very often a wait in line requires more time than the large order counter, which is shunned by some for whom it was intended. We have often been reminded of the cartoon which hung at one counter, in which a lady, with 6art filled to the top, looked indignantly at the clerk as she said, "Well, that's all I have, five items -- meat, vegetables, etc. Of course, she had a number of packages in each category. Animal lovers will be pleased to learn that Gov. Kerner has proclaimed Sunday, Oct. 4, as World Day for Animals. The announcement came from Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hollander of 1010 N. River Road, McHenry, in response to a letter written to the governor. K.A.F.

OBSERVE FIRE PREVENTION WEEK HERE OCT. 411 Fire Prevention Week will be observed from Oct. 4 through 11, when Company I of the McHenry Township Fire Protection district will sponsor open house the last day, Sunday. The full schedule of activities will appear in next week's issue. Chief Edward Justen said this week that the days ahead, following the first frost when leaves and grass are becoming brown, marks the season when grass fires are most liable to occur. In view of this, he asks that anyone intending to burn leaves or dead grass contact the fire department for permission. Numerous youth organizations have requested to take a tour of the fire house and have the equipment explained to them. They are urged to contact John Shay to make an appointment in the week ahead. Working twenty-four hours a day since last Thursday afternoon, city employees Tuesday afternoon completed the task of replacing thirty-two feet of sewer pipes which collapsed on John street. Digging through a base of sand and gravel, the hole extended about 20 feet in depth arid approximately 30 feet along the east-west street. A rodding machine located the trouble spot, after which the long tiresome work began. During digging operations, it was necessary to keep a pump in operation, bypassing the manhole at one point and pumping the sewerage through fire hose. Another several days will be required to replace the fill and repair the road £o that the street may be used again.'

JOHN'S PARISH AS OPEN HOUSE HEARS On Oct. 11, St. John's Catholic church of Johnsburg will hold open house, which will be the first in the history of the church. It will provide an opportunity for all to view at close range the beautiful altars, statuary and stained glass windows which adorn this beautiful church. The history of St. John's began 120 years ago when a priest by the name of Father Portman came to minister the faith to the three families who were the founders, namely the Nicholas Fretts, Nicholas Adams, and the Jacob Schmitts. The first church was hewed from logs and erected with their own industrious and wil-° ling hands. This log church served the parish until 1850 when a ni?w frame church was erected. This edifice continued to serve the parish under the leadership of many priests until 1868, when Fr. Clement Venn took over the priest's duties and the third church was built. Fourth Church In 1880 the fourth church was constructed, a stone building 50x133, built at the cost of $45,000. This church was constructed on approximately the same site as the present one stands today. In 1900 fire destroyed this structure and at that time the present church was erected, with the steeple rising upward to a height of 159 feet, under the pastorate of Rev. Henry Mehring, who served the parish for twentyfour years. Following Fr. Mehring, Fathers Stephen Wolfgarten and Edward Berthold, each served the parish for three years. Father William Weber was the succeeding pastor, and it was during his pastorate of fifteen years that the Lourdes Grotto was built in memory of Father Mehring. In 1927 the church was completely redecorated at a cost of close to $30,000. In 1930 the Rev. Anthony Vollman succeeded Fr. Weber and presided over the parish for eight years, at which time the grounds of the church were greatly enhanced by the building of the Via Dolorosa, with the stations of the cross erected from stone, and three outdoor chapels. Upon the death of Fr. Vollman, Fr. Albert J. Neidert took over the duties of pastor, and was pastor in 1944 when the church celebrated its 100th anniversary. The Rev. Joseph Blitsch took over the duties of pastor in 1949 and served the parish until his untimely death in 1963. During the years he was pastor, the church was beautifullyredecorated, and in 1953 a new brick and stone school was erected. The school, which contains eight classrooms and library, is staffed by the School Sisters of St. Francis. Fr. John Dording took over the duties of the parish at the death of Fr. Blitsch in 1963, and it is under his leadership that this first open house is taking place. Parishioners, as well as people of all denominations, are invited to attend. Ground was broken for a new convent earlier this year, and after the open house at the church, all will be invited for a tour of this new home for the sisters, who so faithfully serve in tne education of the young of the parish. A proven way to forget your troubles is to wear a pair of shoes 2 sizes too small. LARGE DAMAGE SUITS FILED BY AREA RESIDENTS Two damage suits involving local residents have been filed with the circuit clerk. In one, Roy Geske, individu* ally and as highway commissioner of Nunda (township, also the township of Nunda and the H. J. Curran Contracting Co., formerly known as Suburban Oil Co., are defendants in a suit which totals $50,$00, filed by Mr. and Mrs. Curt Scheunemann of McHenry. The suit results from an accident on Sept. 19, 1962 on, Barreville road, charging that the highway construction at that point was responsible. Another suit was filed by Mrs. Elizabeth Croasdale, Milton K. Croasdale and Milton L. Croasdale of McHenry against Mrs. Paul (Helen) Fischer. This suit, too, stems from an auto accident in 1962 near Fox Lake in which vehicles driven by Milton K. Croasdale and Mrs. Fischer collided. Mrs. Croasdale, a passenger, seeks $75,000 on each of two counts for alleged injuries and Milton K. Croasdale asks $5,000 on each of two counts. Milton L. Croasdale, owner of the vehicle, seeks a total of $10,000 on each of two counts. MOTORISTS HURT IN ACCIDEMTS DURING WEEK Three motorists, two from the McHenry area, were injured last Sunday in a one-car accident which occurred at Rt. 12 on Wilmot road. The injured included the driver, Jerome C. King, of 2306 Manor Lane, McHenry, and two passengers, Dennis Huff of 4715 W. McCuIlom Lake road, and Bryan Davis of Elmhurst. All were taken to McHenry hospital for treatment. According to sheriff's deputies, King was driving north, lost control, crossed the highway and rolled over in a ditch. William H. Walter of 3810 Spring road, McHenry, was taken to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, for treatment of injuries he received in an auto accident last Friday evening. Sheriff's deputies said he was driving west in Pistakee Terrace when the car went out of control, struck a guard rail post and continued a distance before stopping in a ditch. Walter told authorites he was not driving, although he was the only person they found in the car. Two cars collided at the intersection of Elm and Front streets shortly after 8 o'clock Tuesday morning, resultng in injuries to a child passenger. The autos, driven by Mrs. George Worts of 4207 W. Crestwood and Edmund Barany of 1611 Woodlawn Park drive, approached the stop sign, traveling west, when Mrs. Worts told police the other car pulled in front of her. There was little property damage, but George Worts, Jr., suffered a deep laceration of the forehead which required stitches. Carl Nelson of Powers Lake, Wis., suffered cuts and bruises last week when his car went through a stop sign, struck a culvert and then continued into a field on Rt. 31 and Johnsburg road. Nelson told state troopers he failed to see the stop sign in tinje.
