PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER-WEPNESDAY. Told FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sep­ tember 30, 1926) After numerous delays, spreading over a period of weeks, months and even years, work has commenced on the completion of State Highway Route 20 and is being carried on in real earnest. After much litigation which the people of McHenry will be happy to forget, bids were received on May 5 and the contract was let, work being commenced a few weeks ago. The W.E. Uhle Co., which consists of W.E. Euhle, his two sons, Carl and Harold, and Mr. McGlachlin, are on the job with their offices on the edge of the mill pond back of Unti's ice cream factory, while the headquarters for the men are in the Mat Weber building on Riverside drive. McHenry's business men are all set for what promises to be the biggest trading day in the history of this city. The response to the idea of Dollar Day this fall has been almost 100 percent among the mer­ chants, as shown by the many pages of Dollar Day ad­ vertisements to be found in this issue of the Plaindealer. Such cooperation among the business men can only have one result -- a successful trading day. At 2 a.m. last Sunday mor­ ning Chicago and all of its suburbs reverted to Central Standard time, which has not been in effect since April 27. Transportation lines, schools, business houses and all other institutions are back on the old schedule again. Robert Green, Albert Bar- bian, William Bickler and Joe Weber returned from a motor trip through northern Wisconsin on Sunday af­ ternoon. They spent most of their time on the border near Boulder, Wis., and made several trips to Indian reser­ vations and lumber camps. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oc­ tober 1, 1936) The first McHenry residents to visit the famous Dionne quintuplets at Callender, Ont., were Mr. and Mrs. Lester Page, who spent Tuesday af­ ternoon of last week at the home of the popular Dionne lflf family. Their visit was followed closely by that of another McHenry family, however, when Mr. and Mrs. Frank Meyer and son, Donald, viewed the famous babies on Saturday of last week, spending Saturday night in Callender. These local people report the visit as most interesting, with the five little Dionne sisters even sweeter ' and more attractive than • pictured in the movies or magazines. The little girls, now over two years old, are exactly alike, with black wavy hair and dark eyes, with the exception of Marie, who is slightly shorter than her sisters. Attorney and Mrs. Alford Pouse and son, Alford, Jr., left Tuesday morning on a motor trip to New York^City, where they will make their home. Future business plans of Mr. Pouse have not been definitely decided as he expects, first to take the New York state bar examination but he feels that the east offers a greater op- porunity in the work in which he is interested. Martin Jacobson, who has been on the Martin F. Schmitt farm at Johnsburg, for the past two years, was severely burned on Monday of last week by flames from a gasoline engine. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oc­ tober 4, 1951) The Lily Lake and Lakemoor area may become incorporated as a village if Judge Henry Cowlin approves the petition of fifty-nine residents of the community to hold an election in the near future. The petitioners wish to call the new village Lakemoor. A barn on the Frank Har- digan farm in Big Hollow was totally destroyed by fire, last Friday afternoon about 4 o'clock. It was believed to have started by spontaneous com­ bustion. On Monday, Oct. 1, the countless friends of John J. McCarthy said farewell to the popular police chief, who is taking a three months leave of absence from his duties. Mr. McCarthy will spend the future weeks in Florida, in the vicinity of Miami, where he and Mrs. McCarthy will enjoy a well earned rest. He is due to return to duty Jan. 1, 1952. A jury composed of eight women and four men returned a verdict of "not guilty" shortly after 8 o'clock Friday evening in the Milton Christofferson murder trial. Christofferson, whose parents reside part of the year in Wonder Lake, had been accused of murdering Anthony Joyce during an argument in Lake of the Hills subdivision, Algonquin, June 13. The deciding game of the three game series between McHenry and Johnsburg was won by the Shamrocks on their diamond last Sunday by a score of 4-0. From S.I.H. column-Hear "Red Winkel snared a foul ball at a Cub game last week. Of course he wrecked a couple of Mr. Wrigley's beautiful chairs not to say anything about a 20 dollar stetson knocked from the head of "Curly" Pederson, the 5 and dime (and up) man. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oc­ tober 6, 1966) Three members of thfe McHenry police force arrested John F. Orosz at his home at 1613 Birch drive, Wonder Lake, Tuesday afternoon in con­ nection with the $1,300 burglary at the McHenry Music center in the early hours of Saturday morning. Orosz was taken to county jail under $3,000 bond and charged with grand theft. He admitted furnishing tran­ sportation but implicated two juveniles, also of the Wonder Lake community, who Orosz said committed the burglary. In observance of the ninetieth anniversary of Zion Lutheran church, special anniversary services will be conducted Sunday, Oct. 9, at7:45and 10:30 o'clock in tfhe morning Pastor Robert Kamphoefer will be guest speaker.' McHenry business men and women had an opportunity to capture some of the Christmas holiday spirit at an early date when the Chamber of Com­ merce retail merchants' meeting was held Tuesday evening. It was agreed that Santa would make his arrival on Dec. 3, and a schedule will be arranged fdr his daily visits with children in the city park. The body of a man struck by three cars as he walked along McCullom Lake road last Sunday night, Oct. 2, was identified Monday afternoon as Nick Hibner of 4118 East drive, Wonder Lake. Mr. Hibner, 73, was pronounced "dead on arrival at McHenry hospital about 10 p.m., but his identity was not learned at that time. \V >\ I ( .< >\A( K'\ a bj Free mounting.

Shoreline Club Bids Farewell To Tonl Batrlelle The Shoreliners met on Sept. 22 at 3211 Beach Drive. The meeting was a farewell send-off for Toni Batrielle who will be leaving our area to accompany her husband, Mike, in a two- year work project in Scotland. We will miss Toni's exhuberance and friendliness. Her length of time in the village was brief, but her cooperation and helpfulness will be remembered for a long time. The thirteen women present at the meeting enjoyed refresh­ ments and a pleasant evening playing games. It was such fun that it was suggested that perhaps a certain game could be played at some future meetings. If you're interested in joining the Shoreliners, come to the next meeting on Oct. 19 at 3208 W. Kinley. We would ap­ preciate your interest, your input, and your involvement. BIRTHDAYS We would like to wish Helen Crouch a happy birthday today, and we hope that she has many, many more birthdays in the future. BAZAAR DATES SET Nov. 5, 6 and 7 are the dates of the Shoreliners' annual bazaar. The village hall annex, site of the bazaar, should be the first place to shop for your Christmas gifts. There will be many children's items for sale, including a beautiful Swiss Chalet doll house made and donated by John Novotny. There will be ceramics, quilts, door decorations, stuffed animals, autograph animals, hanging lamps, puppets, macrame items, plants, aprons, pots, wooden sconces, and much, much more. In conjunction with the bazaar, there will be a bake sale. You'll even be able to sample every delicious home-baked goody. Coffee will also be served. Plan now to attend and purchase some of these fabulous hand­ crafted products. NO REMEDY IN SIGHT? Have you suffered from a headache lately? The increased ozone level has been blamed for the persistence of many of our 'splitting headaches'. The loneliness of farewells, the uneasiness of new acquaintances, the joyfulness of experiencing both. Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 Young At Hearts Enjoy Dinner And Theatre The Wonder Lake Young at Hearts Club recently took a journey to Shady Lane in Marengo where they enjoyed a delicious meal and were en­ tertained by a play put on by the theatre group. At the Sept. 15 meeting, final arrangements were made for an all day trip to Nauvoo, II., which will be taken during the colorful autumn season in October. President, Marie Robinson expressed her appreciation to all the Young at Heart members who "baked their best" for the recent successful bake sale. The next meeting of the Young at Hearts will be on Wednesday, Oct. 6, at Lions Will* .© Candy Rolls 30,000 Lions Club members of Illinois will give away 3 million candy rolls Saturday, Oct. 9, in exchange for a contribution to further the Lions good work of providing aid for the more than 21,000 blind and visually handicapped of Illinois and to develop community sight conservation programs. The twenty-fourth annual event will take place across the entire state of Illinois from sunrise to sunset, clear skies or rainy weather. Look for the Lions wearing their familiar yellow hats and aprons and giving away a candy roll to sweeten your day. The primary purpose of the Lions annual campaign is to generate funds for Lions ap­ proved projects of service for the blind. During the 24-year history of the Lions program, $11 million dollars has been forwarded to worthy agencies helping the blind Christ the King Hall. BELATED GREETINGS Belated birthday greetings to Laura Plumlee, daughter of Charlie and Karen Plumlee. Laura celebrated her tenth birthday on Sept. 27. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Happy fourth birthday to Christopher Maksymiak, son of Janet and Wayne Maksymiak on Oct. 2. WORDS OF THE WISE Four year old David came home from nursery school one day bubbling with enthusiasm over the morning's activities. "You know, mom," he related, "we made applesauce in school today. But those teachers must not know where the grocery stores are - we had to pick those apples off of the trees!"

The Lions operated projects include the Mobile Glaucoma Screening Unit, which screens approximately 50,000 people annually for the insidious disease of glaucoma; Camp Lions for blind and visually handicapped children - we accommodate more than 300 children annually; the Lions Eye Donor Registry to provide eye donor tissue for corneal transplant, eye research, and educational purposes; Social Services and Referral to aid the blind and visually handicapped on their personal needs; and, Lions of Illinois Funds for Emergency to provide funds expeditiously in the event of an emergency. The Lions' goal in this Bicentennial year is $1,200,000 and the method of raising the funds will display people in Candy Day aprons and hats carrying canisters for donation and giving away Candy Rolls (Lions do not sell candy). Governor Dan Walker and mayors across the state have issued proclamations for this special event. The slim figure seems to be the goal of men and women, alike, in this era. But this dieting can be car­ ried too far. As persons get older they are supposed to gain a few pounds and there is no beauty in boney shoulders and wrinkles where the fat has been.
