PAUtt 24 • PLA1NDEALEH - f KlDA Y, AUUUST " toMMoeeoooon Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 11, 1927) The controversy over the proposed new dam for which $175,000 was appropriated for its construction somewhere near the point where the Fox string of ten lakes empties into the river and several miles north of McHenry, is increasing in publicity and the interest taken in the question to such an extent that a committee from the Fox River region intends to go to Springfield as soon as Governor Small returns to his office to protest to the chief Executive. „ . The following notice was received by J.W. North, chairman of the American Legion Fire fund drive. At the meeting of the City Council the following motion was passed: Motion by Howard, seconded by Thennes, that the city turn over the old fire truck to the American Legion to use as they see fit in trading as part payment of a new fire truck for the city of McHenry. Motion carried. Signed, R.F. Conway, clerk. Chicago newspapers are giving the proposed dam in Fox river plenty of publicity lately. The Chicago Tribune, in its issue of Monday morning of this week, carries quite a lengthy news story on its front page, in which Mayor P.W. Frett of McHenry is quoted to quite an extent. When the mayor was asked about it, he stated: "I was not interviewed by any reporter or representative of the Tribune and I was greatly surprised when the article was called to my attention. In my opinion the substance of the article was taken from last week's issue of the Harvard Herald, which carried a similar story. Road activities on Route 60 and 61 have started in earnest, the road grading firm of the Belmar Construction Co. of Clear Lake, IOwa, now being camped about a mile south of Ringwood and has begun grading operations. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 12, 1937) Arnold J. Rauen of McHenry, record clerk and assistant to the managing officer of the St. Charles State School for Boys for the last year and a half, on Friday of last week, was named assistant managing officer of the state institution. The ap­ pointment was made by Gov. Horner on recommendation of A.L. Bow en, director of the department of public welfare. Death lurked on the glistening ripples of Crystal Lake Sunday and claimed five victims as hundreds of pic­ nickers and vacationists looked on in horror, all pleasure taken out of the day for them because of the tragedy. Two boats capsized on Crystal Lake, throwing their occupants overboard to take the toll of five lives. At the request of So I Hear, Herb Reihansperger, always for the Cubs, writes an in­ teresting letter about his favorite ball team. "Altogether the Cubs look like a cinch to win the National League pennant this year and they're bound to give the Yanks a battle," quotes Herb. McHenry Lions gathered at the McHenry Country club for their August meeting Tuesday evening, where they were served a dinner by Leo Stilling, pro and clubhouse. manager TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 21, 1952) One by one, settlements near McHenry are seeking to set up their own small governing bodies and become organized communities. The latest of these is McCullom Lake and if plans now in progress- materialize, it would take the place of Lakemoor as the newest incorporated village in this county. Last Monday a petition was filed in the office of County Clerk Raymond D. Woods, to incorporate specified territory in that region. All of the property is located in McHenry township and is in Knollwood subdivision, Mc­ Cullom Lake estates and a part of Oklend subdivision. The land involved is contiguous, not exceeding two square miles and not now included in the corporate limits of any municipality. , v A good many McHenry and Johnsburg folks were pleasantly surprised to see Art and Joe Jackson on Tom Duggan's TV sports program last Sunday night. Not only did they prove most "telegenic" but also proved popular for their very modest account oT their activities with the famed "Tigers" baseball team, state semi-pro baseball champs. .v McHenry county youth and in particular three from this community, won high honors for their entries in state fair competition at Springfield. One of them was Charlotte Hogan of. Ringwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hogan, who was selected with nineteen other young models as outstanding. Each girl wore a dress of her own making. Gordon Thomson, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Thomson of McCullom Lake, *on top honors at the fair when his Holstem senior heifer calf won first and was declared reserve grand champion in the junior division. His sister, Marita, won a first place for her Holstein senior yearling heifer. TEN YEARS AGO (Taker! from the files of August 16, 1967) Between twenty-five and thirty persons, representing a small part of the nearly 1,000 who signed petitions protesting the sale of -Landmark school on Waukegan street, appeared to open the Monday evening meeting of the board of School District 15. Mrs. Frank Johnson, as spokesman for the objectors, presented the' thoughts of many of the petition signers, along with questions concerning the future of the budding. To conclude, she presented the thick pile of petitions. Appearing before a record crowd of 23,500, Sally Guettler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Guettler of McHenry, last Saturday, won first place honors in the girls' semi- classical contest at the Cavalcade of Music at the 1967 Illinois State fair. In regular session Monday evening, the board of School District 15 passed the 1967-68 budget in the amount of 1,249,530 for the Educational* fund. Estimated receipts for the year were listed at $1,089,513.16, leaving a deficit of $160,016.84. The education fund listed a balance on hand this past July 1 of $262,819.47.
