Daughters of the American Revolution, officers, Mrs. Vivian Bassett of McHenry, left, second vice-regent; Mrs. Olive Nolan, first vice-regent; and Mrs. Nancy Langdon, regent, participate in recent dedication ceremony marking the grave of Major Watson, the only Revolutionary War soldier burled in McHenry county. It was an historic May Sunday for members of the Kishwaukee Trail chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and citizens of McHenry county as well, when the grave of Major Watson, believed to be the only Revolutionary War soldier uried in McHenry county, was arked. t A brief dedication ceremony was held at the Linn-Hebron cemetery, very near the Illinois-Wisconsin state line, where Major Watson is buried. Members of a brass ensemble from Woodstock high school played "The Star Spangled Banner" and taps. Adjutant Bert DeYoung, and Grave Registration Chairman Homer Woods represented the Hebron American Legion post. Mrs. Homer Woods, Mr. and Mrs. York, and John Sime also at­ tended from Hebron, as did twenty-four DAR members and their families. Major Watson was born Nov. 18, 1739, at Sacketts Harbor. New York. He was a soldier in the War for Independence and also the War of 18J2. While a young man, Watson was a prisoner of the Indians and compelled to run the gauntlet and finally was adopted by an Indian chief. He was later assisted by a fur trader and escaped. He served under Washington and Lafayette, taking part in the Battle of Monmouth. During the War of 1812, he was an active participant in the Battle of Sacketts Harbor and was captured by the British and placed on a prison ship. He was finally released through the intervention of the President. Major Watson came to Walworth county, Wi., in the early days of the county with his daughter, Mrs. Clarinda Watson Downs, and made his home with her on a farm about three miles north of Hebron. Mrs. Downs is buried next to her father in the Linn-Hebron cemetery. Major Watson died March 15, 1840, at the home of his daughter. One of the things that kill^ time in life is the necessity to beat around the bush. What One Person Can Do Atha Mathieu is the youngest city commissioner in the United States, and probably the world. At age 12, this young lady became the parks and recreation commissioner of San Anselmo, Ca., a town of 13,000 The job is not a play job, either. Atha was duly elected to the City Council after applying by letter for the position. She campaigned on a platform of "kidpower" and won her seat over the candidacy of a mother with four grown children. One councilman whose deciding vote won the post for Atha said, "Why turn down a teen-ager when it's the teen-agers who have new ideas?" As a commissioner, Atha will attend the monthly meetings of the City Council, where she Will grapple with such problems as park budgets, deciding the location of bicycle paths, keeping open space from being filled, and the scope of the city's recreation program. "I'll stick with it," she has promised, assuring the Council that her mother or dad will drive her to the monthly meetings. "Parks are for children and we need representation." The only way any of us can ever bring our convictions to bear on events around us is to decide, like Atha Mathieu, to participate. Little has ever been accomplished by those who are content to stand on the sidelines At age 12 or 72, the decision to be involved is the first, and most important decision of all.

HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS Urge Caution For Phone Wires Be Before Digging Don't touch that shovel until you're certain it won't cut a telephone wire. Whether you're excavating a building -foundation or merely transplanting tomatoes, your digging can interrupt vital telephone service to hosptials, fire and police departments. Illinois Bell advises contractors and homeowners to check the location of buried cables before breaking ground. Illinois Bell has more than thirty-eight million miles of wire in underground cable. It is practically immune to wind, snow, sleet and gnawing animals. But power shovels, drills, pile drivers and tren­ ching tools - even garden spades - can do plenty of harm. A simple call to Repair Service, listed in the call guide pages of your telephone directory, is recommended before you dig. The telephone wire you save may be your own.
