Single copies of the brochure are available without charge to any interested individual and can be obtained from ISPB offices at 53 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago 60604 or the American Diabetes Association, 620 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago 60611. "Diabetic Retinopathy," the brochure states, "is now one of the major causes of blindness in the United States, along with glaucoma and cataracts." In a sense, it is the more serious because, unlike the latter two diseases, it cannot yet be treated effectively in its ad­ vanced stages. The frequency of diabetic retinopathy has increased at all age levels primarily because diabetes can now be treated with insulin so effectively that present-day diabetics often can look forward to longer life spans. The eye, unfortunately, is one of the major organs of the body to suffer the com­ plications of prolonged diabetes. The rise in frequency has naturally stimulated an increasing number of inquiries directed to both the American Diabetes association and the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. This booklet answers the most frequently asked questions about the growing threat to eyesight posed by diabetic retinopathy.

Pioneer Center Crystal Lake at 521 Commercial Road (815)455-1110 McHenry at 5005 W. McCullom Lake Road (815)385-3310 FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 18, 1926) Fire destroyed a big barn, tool shed, granary and corn crib and a part of a brick silo on the 200-acre farm, formerly known as the P.J. Cleary farm, about two miles south of McHenry, last Friday night. The flames broke out about six o'clock in the evening following a loud explosion, closely followed by a burst of flames which were so high and the fire so intense that the whole sky was illuminated. As the flames died down and the smoke cleared away the onlookers were surprised and shocked to find in the ruins the evidence to prove that the plac^ had been used for an illicit "still" or brewery, which had been worked so quietly and cleverly that even the nearest neighbors had no suspicion of what had been taking place. That McHenry is about to experience a boom in building lots is very evident from the interest which has been shown in property on Center street. This property consisting of about fifty acres which is owned by F.H. Wattles is being subdivided and will be known as Wattles addition to McHenry. Lloyd Weedin, 14 years old, was killed Saturday afternoon when he fell off a wagon on the James Frisby farm, about two miles south of McHenry. The boy had been employed by Edwin Fischer, who lives on the farm since last July, when he was sent there from the St. Charles School for Boys. A large modern steam heating plant is being installed in the N.J. Justen & Son fur­ niture store on Main street. Walter J. Donavin is doing the work. The firm of N.J. Justen & Son is interested in improving and perfecting their new building and their efforts to please are made evident by their large spacious show room which is filled with a very fine and extensive line of modern furniture, while their large show windows are always most attractive. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 18, 1936) Supt. C.H. Duker assisted at the Court of Honor at Wood­ stock, at which three Boy Scouts of the area received their Eagle badges. These Scouts were Herbert Otto, Woodstock; James Vynalek, Fox River Grove; and John Meyers of Belvidere. Henry L. Cowlin, who was elected on Nov. 3 to fill the vacancy of county judge, caused by the death of Judge Charles T. Allen, received his certification from Governor Horner and has been sworn in. So, it's Judge Cowlin, now. Elaine Heimer, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Heimer, proved to be the best guesser in the Plaindealer pumpkin contest, which closed at 5 o'clock last Saturday af­ ternoon. After the pumpkin was cut by the committee, con­ sisting of Mayor Peter Doherty and Ben Brefeld it was found to have 724 seeds. Elaine's guess was within one of the correct number, her figure being 725. The little girl thereby won a big turkey for her Thanksgiving dinner. Here is a contribution printed in 1920 that appears in S.I.H. Earl Walsh, fourteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Walsh of this village, has probably established a farm record for himself that has yet to be equalled by a boy of his age. Earl loves the outdoor life and especially so the farm. For some time past he has made his Jiome with his aunt, Mrs. Chas. Gibbs, and he established the record a short time ago, when their neighbor, W.E. Whiting, was taken down with the "flu". About this same time Mr. Whiting's hired man left him, and had it not been for Earl, it is hard to say just what would have happened out Crystal Lake way. Earl, a willing boy in every emergency, offered to assist with the milking during Mr. Whiting's illness, and each night and morning milked ten cows. After the chores he saddled his favorite pony, rode to town, a distance of nearly three miles, blanketed the faithful animal and then was ready for his school work. He is a student in the Freshman class of McHenry high school and in spite of his farm respon­ sibilities, he has stood at the head of his class for many consecutive months. This was an anonymous letter sent to the Plaindealer. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 22, 1951) A special committee ap­ pointed last week by A.B McConnell, chairman of the county board, is at present studying the proposed plan for the county to build a hospital for the use of all of its residents. Action came after a second discussion of the matter brought to the attention of the board by Supervisor Stanley Cornue of Hebron, who feels this is one of the foremost needs of the area. Soon after the report on the progress of local polio cases of the past season, it was learned that throughout the nation there are 45,000 new and old cases now requiring medical attention. This announcement was made by the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis, which is preparing now for its greatest appeal in the 1952 March of Dimes drive. McHenry City Council members no doubt recalled highlights of their own youth Monday night as they watched fifteen patrol boys of St. Mary's-St. Patrick's school receive traffic whistles and badges for school safety traffic patrol. The impressive ceremony took place in the school hall at 7:30 o'clock before Council and Kiwanis members and city police of­ ficers. After a hearty Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow has provided the family with an alls well with the world" outlook on life, there will come a'time of awakening to the realization that only four weeks remain until Christmas and there is much to be done before that eventful day. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 24, 1966) A McHenry physician, Dr. Clayton W. Klontz, 3603 W. Waukegan road, was initiated into the Fifty-Year club of the Illinois State Medical society (ISMS) after completing a half century of medical practice.

SAVE 'l00 '1 68 College of Medicine and Surgery (now Ixjyola Stritch School of Medicine), was presented a 50-year club pin and citation at a district meeting of ISMS at Belvidere, Nov. 16. In 1926 he came to McHenry where he conducted a general practice. McHenry churches were planning special services for their congregations on Thanksgiving Day. The Home State Bank of Crystal Lake was the suc­ cessful bidder Monday night in the sale of storm sewer and street lighting bonds by the City Council of McHenry. Following the approval of voters at the special bond issue election, Oct. 18, the Council, through Financial Consultant M B. Birchfield, sent out bid forms to a large number of financial institutions Five bids resulted. The issue of $130,000 being comparatively small, did not attract a large number of bidders, but resulted in favorable interest rates. The McHenry basketball team got off on their left foot. They were mauled by Grant 72 to 44 Friday night on their home court, and then traveled to Antioch Saturday night to drop a 72 to 63 decision to the Sequoits. , With scoring like the pro league, the amateurs of the Northern Illinois basketball league representing Johnsburg and Richmond scored 233 points last week as Johnsburg won the game 127 to 106 on their home floor. Huff was the high scorer for the game with the most field goals and the most points, 14-33. His teammate, Motley, followed with 30. Don Bentz put through 30 points for the winners, followed closely by John Reinboldt's 28 . PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1976 CLEANSING THE LEPER ien he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. And behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying. Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, 1 will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go t h y w a y , s h e w t h y s e l f t o t h e p r i e s t , a n d o f f e r t h e g i f t that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto him. _ * ^ St. Matthew 8 : 1-4 S3 rr 'College Honors < Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there EARN DEGREES Northern Illinois University has awarded a total of 537 bachelor degrees to students who completed requirements in August.
