"" "7- o THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKE S REGION SINCE 1875" Vol, 90 - No. 27 •* 2 Sections Thureday, February 2, 1967 - McHenry, Illinois 20 Pages - 10$ BURGLARS BUSY OVER PAST WEEKlND Mttsin' and M eanderiri The Flake The Plaindealer staff confessed to mixed reactions this week on learning that their a d v e r t i s i n g m a n a g e r . B i l l Moore, was leaving the newspaper he has served for twenty years to assume the role of publisher of the Harvard Herald. Because he rates so highly in our book, selfish interests are put aside for the pride and happiness we feel In his promotion. Our first acquaintance with Bill came more than twenty years ago in a business relationship starting in a small office on north Green street. The "crew" was small at that time, and it didn't take long to form a definite opinion as to whether a newcomer would "fit in". With B|ll, the time was just long enough to shake hands -- nobody could resist that big smile and friendly "Glad to be here". We were glad, too, and have never been otherwise. The years only served to h e i g h t e n o u r r e s p e c t f o r his ability, first as linotype operator, later as shop foreman, and more recently as a d v e r t i s i n g m a n a g e r . B u t most of all, we had the highest respect for him as a person. Amidst the trials and tribulations of the newspaper business, tempera often flare. It Is a tribute to any man who covers a twenty-year period without an unpleasant word for a . fellQW _ employee. In this instance, it is a' personal tribute to one man, .Bill Moore. - • « ^7%*' S v r "J"? • V* A5 "•aSTC * 4" ' 9. I-, -tW^' =£••»• • N i-A. When the fine, fairy flakes of winter sift down from the clouds in January, there are two ways of regarding the situation. First is the more pessimistic view of the adult who must remove large quantities himself or find someone else to do the job so he can get about his business. That's exactly what the operator of this large snow removal machine is doing above, working on Main street near the North Western railroad station. The other view is the more optimistic outlook of the very young, a few of whom are shown above revelling in a huge pile of snow piled high in Cooney Heights. Without doubt, these two pictures are excellent examples to substantiate the well known fact that it's wonderful to be young. While McHenry was fortunate to be on the fringe area of the extremely heavy snow fall last Thursday and Friday, the dependence of many local people on the metropolitan area facilities was evident. When Chicago became bogged down by a seemingly unending fall, the outlying areas found themselves inconvenienced by lack of transportation and communication. Locally, the situation improved rapidly as soon as the snow fall ceased, but continued word from the big city on the Leonard Studio Photos hazards there seemed to persuade even those residing in the McHenryf^community to curtail activities that would take them out on the streets. There were fewer shoppers on Friday and even Saturday, but the first of the week brought out large numbers of homemakers to replenish food supplies. Plowing on city streets started Thursday morning and extra help was brought in so that routine plowing and removal of snow in the business districts could continue through the night and all day Friday. Following close on the heels of the fall election, McHenry joins many other communities in pre-planning for another two jaunts to the polls. It appears that there will be no lack of excitement, with early contests evident in both the township and city elections. If history runs true to form, there may even be enough words exchanged before the big day that it would •behoove the conscientious voter to take a good look at the candidates before making a choice. Of particular interest this year will be the township election, where a supervisor, two assistant supervisors and a road commissioner will be named on April 4. An Independent Township party named incumbents to . run for re-election on the opening filing date Jan. 9. (Continued on Page 14 > GARAGE. CAR BURN MONDAY IN EASTWOOD MANOR Fire damage estimated at about $3,000 destroyed a garage on the Bethel R. Barnett premises, 2308 E. Country lane, Eastwood Manor, early last Monday evening, according to Fire Chief Ed Justen. A family member turned on a heater, then went in the house for the evening meal. A short time later, at 5:40 p.m., they looked out to see the building in flames. A car inside the garage was burned and a trailer camper outside as well as the side of the house, was scorched. Members of Companies I, II and m remained on the 6cene until there was no danger to other buildings.

Most seriously hurt was William Paul, 19, of 3609 Young FoiTMOS1 Adv©Sililag street, McHenry, who was jufaOTao®? taken, unconscious, to McHen- Mnuuw ry hospital and transferred Duii&S F@braSS'Y * later to Wesley Memorial hospital, Chicago. Also hurt were three passengers in the car, William Anderson, 18, and Leland Anderson, 16, both of 921 Front street and Charles Kloeckner, 17, of 3822 W. Waukegan, all of McHenry. Stanley Lehman of 2127 W. Fairfield, McHenry, driving alone in the second auto, was also injured but was reported in satisfactory condition in the local hospital Monday morning. Two Stories Lake county sheriff's police said Lehman was driving oh Fisher road and travelled through the intersection into the other auto, which was west-bound. Lehman told authorities he stopped, looked both ways and then made a left turn onto the highway when he failed to see an oncoming car. However, police said there was evidence that brakes had been applied 50 feet before reaching the intersection. No skid marks were evident near the other vehicle. Lehman was charged with failure to .stop and failure to yield the right-of-way. The accident occurred almost directly in front of the home of the Bruce Bradley family. They helped the two Anderson brothers and Kloeckner into the house, but were unable to give assistance to either of the other drivers because of their position in the damaged cars. They called for the rescue squad and also summoned police to the scene. In the meantime, Mrs. Bradley said she attempted to hail down a passing motorist, but in spite of the evidence of a serious accident, they only slowed speed but refused to stop and help. A car driven by Dorothy Walsh of McHenry was struck by another vehicle on Rt. 120, tWo miles east of the city, last week. Police say Emil C. DeMeyer of Gurnee was backing from a driveway when the accident occurred-.-" LAD POISONED AFTER DRINKING BOTTLE COMTEMTS Dennis Artey, 13, of Rt. 1, Spring Grove, returned home from Mctiehry hospital early this week, none the worse for the experience of swallowing unidentified liquid which resulted in poisoning hi mltas Sunday. Dennis and a friend were playing in Lotus Woods, not far from his home, when they found a bottle near the channel. Dennis decided to drink some of the liquid, and a short time later became ill and then lapsed into unconsciousness. After being brought home by friends, Mr. and Mrs. Aney called the Fox Lake rescue squad, members of which revived the boy only briefly. He was hurried to McHenry hospital, where his stomach was pumped and the lad began to improve. Dennis is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Aney. 190 Enroll In Adult Courses Just under 200 persons registered Monday night for a wide variety of courses in the adult evening education program sponsored by the McHenry schools. A second registration was scheduled for Wednesday. Classes were reported to be filling rapidly in some of the fifty courses offered. No particular night was established for meeting, since this will be decided by the wishes of the teacher and majority of the class members. They will be held in both the high school and junior high school. The expanded evening program is a start in the community school concept planned for the McHenry area. The next step will be employment of community school directors to coordinate activities of the over-all program, which is planned for those of all ages, including senior citizens.

At Riverside Hair Styling, 2020 W. Rt. 120, a front door was broken to gain entrance and the intruders made away with about $100. In two other places, the burglars evidently gave vent to their frustration civer finding little money by commiting vandalism. At Fury Motors. 2508 W. Rt. 120, they broke a cash register, found no bills and then left a large a m o u n t o f c h a n g e . T h e y broke a windshield on one car, put the parts room in a state of disarray and broke another window. The McHenry School of Beauty Culture at 3031 W. Lincoln road experienced similar vandalism when the burglars failed to find more than about two dollars iij money. Wigs and cosmetics were sprayed with a fire extinguisher and all locked doors were broken, including those in a cabinet and desk. A New Year's night burglary had netted intruders a large amount of cash. All of the burglaries last weekend occurred Friday night and were in the same general area. About $90 in cash and a large sum in checks were stolen from the Adams Brothers Repair Service, 3004 W. Rt. 120, McHenry, during business hours last Saturday. Someone apparently entered the business establishment and stole a cash boot from the office while several employees were at work in the shop.
