I At the regular meeting of the Lions club of Union last week, a check for $500 was presented to the president of the McHenry County Historical society as a contribution to the society's Grandma Sez • • • Thanksgivin' Day 'd be a glorious day, this year an' one t' be long remembered, if we c'd know there wuz peace in the world, at last. It may be too much t' hope fer, expectin' it t' be world-wide, but it has t' come, 'cause it has worn out all the glamour an' excitement it held fer young men, in generations past. History depicted it as manful, t' engage in combat, but the Good Book ne'er condoned it and' taught love fer fellow-man. It's jist about time that man puts aside his playin' wi' big toys, an' puts more effort inter the job o' peaceful co-existence wi' all men. Delay after delays put off the final conclusion t' useless warin' an' killin'. I don't mean that 'twas in vain, but seems a terrible waste, when ye con­ sider that man should have the intelligence, greater than the four-legged beasties, 'r has he, really? Knowledge seems t' hev been used wi'out wisdom, fer generations. Wise men don't fight, but use God-given in­ telligence t' solve problems like human bein's. All the sadness, suffered by the people, victims o' the strife an' unhappy conditions, ain't worth it. E'en wi' the peace, at hand, one c'n visualize the devastation, the homeless, the maimed, an' wish it hadn't happened, that it wuz jist an unhappy dream," nightmare. We may sit at our "Thanksgivin' Day feast," but the shadow o' all the world's unhappiness sits there wi' us, an' somehow, the good things doty't taste so good. But there's bound t' be a happier celebration^ wi' the prospects o' peace, that might be a reality in time fer our day o' thank­ fulness. 1 As I'm a sittin' here, thinkin' about it all, my heart goes out t' those who ha'anempty chair, at the table, due t' the state o' affairs in the world. The con­ solation 'd be that the lesson's been larned, an' that the future generations might be able f live, wi'out bein' afraid o' WAR, an' its dire effect on humanity. Love, an' good must prevail, an' o'er the years evil must be o'ercome, so's man may develop t' his highest potential, wi' out the handicap o' war. Hope you had a happy Thanksgivin' an' keep faith in a blessed future, fer us all.

Schmitt and accepted on behalf of the board of directors of the society by Dorothy W. McEachren. She then made a few remarks as to the progress of the renovation of the old Union school, into the society's museum. Mrs. McEachren said the money is coming in slowly and it does not look • as if the society will be able to opefn the entire space until sometime much later. Work is being done only as the money came in. Janitorial service was being done last week in the completed office space and large exhibit hall and kitchen ami it was hoped that office equipment and supplies could be moved in this week. Otis Cripe of Marengo, who is supervising the work, said that about $10,000 worth of work had been done, including the fire stop wall demanded by the state. This will seal off the first floor from the upper floor. New ceilings required by the state have been put in the kitchen and exhibit hall; the large 12x12 fire door is in the rear wall of the exhibit hall; glass block windows have been replaced in the kitchen and the damage done to the furnace controls as a result of the 14 inches of water in the basement during the recent floods has beeit repaired. The men in attendance showed a great deal of interest and asked many questions of the president and Mrs. Ruth Cripe, director from Marengo. Ed Musser, Boy Scout leader of Troop 154, of Union, had his boys in the building last week and they hauled out quite a load of debris. The Woodstock Library has borrowed a few items from the society for an exhibit which will be on display until after Thanksgiving. Among the items loaned are the pewter platter that came over on the Mayflower and used for Thanksgiving turkey for over nine generations; a pair of wooden skates from the 1890's; a gas mask, mess kit and helmet from World War I; Indian grinding stone and tomahawk; a folding tin lunch box for a school child from early 1900's and a marsh shoe such as worn by horses working in soft ground.
