r PAGE 18-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. APRIL 27. 1973 Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 4, 1933) A pair of shoes, size 15 and EEEE in width, have been in Ray McGee's window on Green street off and on for the past two or three years with the notice on them that they would be given free to any man they would fit. At last these shoes have reached an understanding with Geo. C. Freden of Lincoln street, Chicago, a life insurance agent. He drove out from Chicago to try them on after being told of the offer of McGee by Mr. Iverson at Pistakee Bay. They were a perfect fit. The McHenry Post No. 491 American Legion will sponsor an auto polo game at the McHenry ball park Sunday May 7. Two of the best auto polo teams in the world will be seen in a hair-raising, breath taking contest. With the senior class play over, the graduating class of thirty-four students is busy with the teachers completing plans for commencement week. s«; PATZKE HEATING AIR CONDITIONING FURNACES GUTTERS PHONE 385-5534 McHENRY DR.

R i v e r s i d e D r i v e McHenry, Illinois 60050 ADVERTISE IN THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER The first school built in McHenry township was a small log house erected in 1840 on the bank of Fox river. After many years service this building was converted into a store. Only the elementary branches were taught. Another of those boxing cards have been arranged and will take place at the high school. Jimmy Fay has been invited to take part. Jim won the light heavyweight championship of the University of Illinbis this spring. Besides the headliners there will be a special feature put on by the kiddies. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 6, 1948) Fritz Fenske, 71, better known to a host of McHenry friends as "Pop", died April 30 in Belmont hospital. Attracting more interest than probably any other home in McHenry at the present time is the four and one half room house at 903 Center street in the Wattles subdivision erected by the Trades class at the high school. The structure was designed and drawn by the Trades II boys. It has two bedrooms with bath between, living room, kitchen and dining alcove, a full basement and attached garage. One of McHenry's veteran business men, John J. Vycital, was honored at a surprise party May 5, the occasion being his seventieth birthday an­ niversary. Mr. Vycital came to McHenry in 1903 and opened a hardware and variety store in the Owen building on Green street. In 1928 he purchased the building which now houses his expanding buttness. Rt. Rev. M^gr. C.S. Nix of­ ficiated at the double ring nuptial service last Saturday which united in marriage Miss Betty Louise Kramer and Mr. Raymond L. Smith, both of McHenry. The new parish building at St1 Peter's Spring Grove is now under construction. In addition to the erection of tHe new school, alterations will be made on the church. Rev. John L. Daleiden has been pastor of St. Peter's since 1933. In 1900 St. Peter's parish at Spring Grove was founded for a congregation of thirty families. Today over 100 families are regular members of the parish. Mrs. Alice Noren was elected as the third director on the Harrison school board Saturday night by a vote of 65 to 41 from a total of 116 votes cast. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 9, 1963) The Fiesta Day celebration in McHenry has definitely been set for July 21. This is probably the biggest day of the year for local residents and visitors alike, who will want to be sure and mark their calendars. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Weiss of Country club drive attended the dedication ceremonies of the American Memorial to Albert Nobel at Gustavus Adolphus college May 4 held in St. Peter, Minn.

CROSSED EYES - DOUBLY CRUEL HANDICAP Crossed eyes in your child not only evoke teasing and abuse from other children; they produce defective eyesight that retards progress in school. What's more, they are a needless handicap. With exercise, eyeglasses and-or surgery, normal appearance as well as normal vision can be restored in most cases. As a parent, you may find it difficult 10 detect crossed eyes in your infant. This is natural since a baby's eyes normally "float" during the first three months of life. After that, they may appear close together due to the illusion created by the underdeveloped bridge of the baby's nose. By the age of two years, however, your child should have sufficient muscle control to make both eyes to work together. Your suspicions should become aroused if you notice him close one eye, rub at it, or tilt his head to focus on an object. At this stage, it's a good idea to seek medical advice. If your child does have crossed eyes, your physician may cite such possible causes as near or far-sightedness; underdevelopment of the muscles controlling eye movement; excessive nervous incoordination; a blow on the head; heredity or disease. Any of these factors can cause the eyes to turn either inward, outward or upward. As a result, the world your child sees is double and flat -- double because he views ob­ jects from two widely different angles; flat because his inability to visually fuse two CONSUMERS' CORNERc^ik Airline Ticket Costs The dollars you pay for your airline ticket, where do they go? First thing to be said is that they stretch farther than they do for almost anything else you buy these days. Over the past 10 years the cost of living index has gone up 35 percent. But the air fare index, as measured by yield to airlines, has actually gone down 3 percent. Many individual fares have risen, of course, especially those for short trips. But we're talking average fares for all the 200 million passengers who'll fly U.S. scheduled airlines this year. The largest single item of ex­ pense is employment costs. 39 percent of the price of an airline ticket covers these costs. Next comes depreciation and amortiza­ tion of aircraft and equipment, taking 13 percent of the ticket price. Fuel and oil accounts for 10Vz percent. Taxes and other expenses take 9Vi percent. The Federal tax on airline tickets is another 8 percent. Material^, sup­ plies and maintenance cost IVz percent of the ticket price. Sales commissions and advertising ex­ penses account for another 4 per­ cent. Interest and profit each take 2Vi percent. Landing fees charged by airports take another 2 percent. The final IVz percent of your airlines ticket cost goes for communications and utilities. Modern Son Worship Monastir is Tunisia's beautiful seaside town to which sun lovers flock from all over western Eu­ rope. But to Moslems of 1,000 years ago, Monastir was much more. To stand watch for only three days atop Monastir^ forti­ fications guaranteed immediate entrance, upon death, into Para­ dise. objects into one make it dif­ ficult to preceive an object's depth. Once the diagnosis of crossed eyes is established, our physician can institute treat­ ment almost immediately - and the sooner the better. If treated early -- preferably before the age of four - the defective eyesight that ac­ companies crossed eyes can almost always be restored. After that time, prolonged disuse permanently weakens the bad eye to a point where it can never regain its full potential. If your doctor recommends an operation, don't be alarmed - it is no more dangerous to your child than removing his tonsils. One operation may be all that's needed; however, two or even three operations may be necessary when several muscles are involved. Whatever treatment your physician recommends, crossed eyes can be corrected safely and effectively.

I can remem­ ber watching my mother sew lit­ tle dresses for my two sisters and me after she had finished her chores. She would light the coal- oil lamps and sit sewing in the front room long after we chil­ dren had gone to bed. My father worked in the coal mines, and one year he made me a doll house from a "Black Dia­ mond" blasting powder box he'd brought home. He very carefully painted and decorated the little wooden box. I was so proud of that doll house. Those were the days when more love and less money went into the things par­ ents gave their children. It was so comforting, knowing how much our parents loved us, to grow up way back then. (Send contributions to this column to The Old Timer, Box 639, Frankfort, Ky. 40601.)
