FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 21' 1937) A truck owned by the High­ way State Produce company was destroyed by fire on Route 12. between Terra Cotta and Route 14, Tuesday night The truck was loaded w ith furniture owned bv Ben Landeen of Chicago Heights. A motorist trailing behind the truck noticed the fire and speeded up alongside the truck to inform the driver, who was quite badf^. burned around one hand while fighting the fire. With the Christmas holidays and the shortest day of the year out of the way, the thoughts of many begin to turn to plans for the spring and summer, among the important events of which will be city and township elections. Voters in McHenry will be required to elect an entire new slate of city of­ ficials. including the mayor, clerk, aldermen, city treasurer and police magistrate, which according to the new law passed in 1935 will serve for four years however, the recent enactment*changing the terms of city officials from one and two years to four years, has been amended on that half of the aldermen elected in April will serve for two years and half of them for a four year term. Each ward will have one alderman serving for four years and one for two years Richmond came from behind in the closing minutes of play to snatch victory from our own fighting crew of McHenry by a 32 to 28 score. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 24, 1952) A public benefit party which the McHenry post, American Legion, is sponsoring in order to obtain funds & assist the Business Men s association in their efforts to secure new Greatest Show On Earth (by Father William O. Hanner of Florida, formerly of McHenry. rector emeritus of Holy Comforter ^church. Episcopal. Kenilworth) ' There is absolutely nothing like Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey's circus, anywhere." said Richard Barstow, the gifted director of the show. 'It is applauded by people all across America." Indeed it is. As I write, the circus is playing its second engagement on the road as it starts its move across America. It moves in two great sections, the red unit and the blue unit. During the next eleven months, they will play in sixty cities. We saw the red unit show with over thirty of our fellow residents two days ago. Mos^people have some phase of the circus they like best. Give me the clowns and the extravaganzas. Ten years ago clowning was a closed profession. Most clowns with the circus were above fifty years of age. It was hard to break into their ranks. In 1969, Bill Ballantine, a writer, artists, and clown, organized the first College of Clowns. In 1969, there were thirteen clowns under contract to the circus They were males between the ages of 50 and 80. Today, the circus has over sixty clowns under contract. They are young, full of pep, versatile, and talented. They will amaze you with the quality and quantity of their work. There are eight or nine clown acts with as many as ten in­ dividuals in them. You can't <°see it all. In one act, a group of bakers were running a bake shop. A stray clown crawled into the oven. The oven smoked and fumed. When the other players opened the door, out came a huge, baked, gingerbread boy. Another big tall fellow climbed in a laupdry machine. After a bit, they opened the door and took out a small and shrunken clown in a costume like the larger ones. The circus laundry shrinks even clowns Th" young female clowns did scir.q of the best acts. I l l u s t r i o u s a e r i a l i s t s dominated three rings at once. The Flying Farfans from Chili feature their 13-year-old son. Dolly Jacobs, whose father is a clown, does intricate work on the rings without a net. They are verv vepy good. If you/like juggling, the Hargita Troupe, graduates of the Hungarian State Circus school, in Budapest, will en­ tertain with / fancy juggling while they balance themselves on an assortment of ladders. Then there were trained dogs. One was equipped with long rabbit ears and was pursued by a small rabbit- hunting clown with an enor- Wednesday at 10 a.m., with burial in the church cemetery. PAUL R. STEINLE Paul R. Steinle, 46 of 450 Linn avenue, Crystal Lake, formerly of Wonder Lake, died Saturday, Jan. 15. Monday visitation and services on Tuesday were handled by a Chicago funeral home. Burial was in Ridgewood cemetery, Des Plaines. Survi>?brs include a sister, Esther Olsen, of Crystal Lake; his parents, Paul and Lina Steinle, Chicago, and three sons, Pauh, Jr., Riphafd and Robert. mous gun who "shot" the rabbit To see that dog play dead was a treat He "sagged all over", and was only restored to life by being run through a long pipe. Aside from the acts, the ' s p e c t a c u l a r s ' ' a n d "extravaganzas" closing each of the hour and a half acts were radiant and fresh. The costuming, as yet unwilted by many productions and much travel, took your interest by storm. The costuming of the circus costs one and a half million dollars. You'll probably never see anything to equal it anywhere else. The circus comes to Chicago from Octvl9- Nov. 20, 1977. Don't miss it. The lead star of all this is the German animal trainer, Gunther Gabel-Winters whose work with animals is beyond description. Think what an experienced, able man can do with fifteen elephants, fourteen Bengal tigers, six camels, the cages full of cougers, leopards, and pumas. These animals are patiently trained over the years. They set up, they pass in line ten and twelve abreast, and two elephants are ridden at a fast trot, with one foot in the air. Now when you think of all this wonderful production, and the men and women who you never see who plan it, finance it, see that meals are planned, tend to the staging of the whole en­ terprise, worry about ad­ vertising, and what not, you will realize that nowhere on earth is there anything to compare with this circus. Do yourself a favor and go see it. street lights for the city, will be held at the Ugion home. In line with their policy "to support civic undertakings, Legion members have taken a special interest in this particular project Proceeds will be added to th? money obtained from the sale of scrap paper and metal collected in the weekly drives conducted by the^,Business Men's group. i Coming as a surprise to the , City Coundil members at their meeting Monday night was a letter of resignation from Of­ ficer Elmer R. Murphy. The * resignation is to become ef- fective March 1. At the deadline for filing petitions with County Clerk Raymond Woods on Monday, Jan. 21, it was disclosed that ten county residents were seeking the post of county school trustee Two filed petitions from McHenry township, Norbert Mauch of Maple avenue and Florence Svoboda of Lilymoor. The Landl clubhouse of Lilymoor was broken into and ransacked last Saturday night Investigation is still being carried on by the sheriff's of­ fice At least McHenry can boast of one first place team, our J.V.'s who gave it all they had Friday night By taking Barrington they kept a firm grip on first place in their conference. The win was their seventh in a row. Loren Freund was the sparkplug in the Warriors offense as he hit for 16. TEN YEARS AGO » (Taken from the files of January 26, 1967) The board of School District 156 has voted unanimously to i n c l u d e A l t e r n a t e I ( a n auditorium > at $133,451 in plans for the new high school to be erected west of the Crystal Lake blacktop. This action followed a recessed meeting in which low bids for necessary work were approved. Monday of this week was the first day to file nominating petitions for aldermanic posts in the city of McHenry and considerable activity is in evidence. It is in the newly formed Ward No 4, which covers the Lakeland Park area, that spirited races appear to be in the making. Independent filings have been made in this ward by Frank S. Hromec. J o h n T . L i c a s t r o a n d D r Leonard Bottari. At a special meeting of the board of School District 156, held last Monday evening, members approved a $400 across-the-board raise on the salary schedule for teachers for the 1967-68 school year The board also approved an in crease in pay for the substitute teachers from $17.50 to $20 per day. Dollar Days will be held in McHenry on Feb. 9, 10 and 11 McHenry friends received word early this week of the death of Sp-4 Robert L. Provenzano, about 27 years old, while serving in Vietnam. His death occurred last week, but no details were available. FAMILY SERVICE MEETING The Family Service and Mental Health Center of McHenry County holds its regular monthly board of directors meeting at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 19, at the center, 3409 W. Waukegan road, McHenry, Louise Roberts, secretary, has announced. These meetings are open to the public. Former MCC Students Perform Well In School Information has recently been received concerning ihe performance of former McHenry County college StUuews Who to two state universities. These, like many other students, completed the first part of their four-year program at MCC before transferring to complete requirements for their • Bachelor's degree. At the University of Illinois in Urbana students transferring in Fall, 1974, and Fall, 1975, are, as a group, performing at a slightly higher level than are their counterparts who tran­ sferred from other community colleges in the state. The nine i former students earned a combined grade-point average during the Spring, 1976, term of 3.89. This compares with a 3.85 grade-point average earned by students transferring to the University of Illinois from other community colleges in the state. / Similarly, the nineteen former McHenry County college students who tran sferred to Western Illinois university in Macomb during the 1974 and 1975 Fall terms are also doing well. Overall, these students have earned a 2.66 grade-point average as com­ pared to a 2.55 grade-point average 'earned by students transferring from all other Illinois community colleges. When asked to comment on these findings, John Adelmann, assistant dean of instruction at the college, indicated that these latest figures are consistent with other reports on the success of former MCC students. Adelmann said, "Over the years, many area ncnW lis, ^ stepping stone on th^'r way to « Bachelor's degree. These latest figures provide further evidence that high quality instruction is available to area residents right in their own backyard. It is important that we provide the kinds of courses and learning ex­ periences that will enable students to complete up to two years of their four-year program at MCG and then perform successfully the rest of the way. As these and other figures show, we are in facb doing this and doing it weir Needless to say, we will con­ tinue to do so in the future as well." For information concerning admission to McHenry County college's transfer program, or information about other educational opportunities available locally, call a counselor at 455-3700. Hard Water Some observers claim that about 80 per cent of the country has water that's "hard." The solution? Perhaps a water sof­ tener that softens the water before it enters the piping system. Softened water might mean cleaner-looking dishes, a brighter wash and shinier hair af­ ter a shampoo.
