All these items are taken into consideration when a business is seeking a location. On Friday, Dec. 9, one of the new Ford cars will be on display at the Polly Prim pavilion, between the hours of 8 a.m. and midnight, so that the people of McHenry and vicinity will have a splendid op­ portunity to view and examine one of the brand new models. The Knox Motor Sales, local Ford dealers, are putting on this event and have engaged the big building east of the river bridge to take care of the crowds which are expected to be on hand.

FlDRTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 9, 1937) William L. Pierce, veteran Belvidere attorney, swept through McHenry, Boone, Winnebago and Lake counties yesterday like a March blizzard to win the judicial contest from his youthful opponent, George R. Lyon, Waukegan attorney. It was a sweeping Republican victory in all four counties. Today McHenry county Republicans are jubilant over the vote the Belvidere attorney received in the thirty-four precincts of this county. Burglars broke into the office of Dr. R.G.

The present state deputy, Michael J. Howlett, will also honor the council with his presence. The first Grand Knight of the local council, Jos. W. Freund, will be among the many old timers of the organization present on this special occasion. The present Grand Knight, Clarence Martin, has chosen Past District Deputy John A.

Grand opening will be held at Smith's Super market on the Pistakee Bay blacktop road, just east of the old bridge. Owner and manager of the store is Arthur "Art" Smith, to whom this type of business is not new. Mr. Smith has very successfully operated two other markets and grocery stores in this community for many years. For the convenience of the general public, the McHenry post office and West McHenry station plan to remain open until 6 p.m. today (Thursday) and will also be open Sunday, Dec. 21.

The kiddies reported that he looked the picture of health and should be able to make his rounds easily on Christmas Eve even though his list continues to grow each year. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the' files of December 13, 1967) Among the most important bond issues to be presented the public in recent years are those concerned with the needs of McHenry's school districts, 1*6 and 15. Voters will go to the polls on Saturday, Dec. 16, between the hours of noon and 7 p.m. to express themselves on these issues. The Community Consolidated School District 15 is asking for approval of two proposals. They seek $2,000,000 to build and equip a new grade school building and to approve a new school site near the junction of Ringwood road and State Highway 120. The grade^ school referendum is reported to cost $24 on ,a home with a $20,000 market value. Trie, District 156 proposition asks approval of issuing bonds in the amount of $550,000 for com­ pleting the building and equipping of the new high school building on Crystal Lake blacktop. King, a year old German Shepherd dog which was a Christmas gift from Santa just a year ago, to Carmen Ippolito, 10 years old, has started what may become a most useful and exciting life. Hearing a television appeal for such dogs to be used in Vietnam, Carmen, who resides with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carmen Ippolito, and several brothers and sisters, at 3406 Caroline drive, McHenry, decided to offer King to aid U.S. servicemen. Lake County Teachers Visit English Program Six teachers from the Round Lake high school English department spent a recent day visiting East campus Com­ position classes. They were interested in seeing in operation the writing program instituted this year at McHenry East. Sensing a need for better writing skills among its students, the East campus English staff selected new course materials this year which would allow students to improve their writing skills. This program, entitled "Stack the Deck", is one which em­ phasizes developmental writing skills on an in­ dividualized basis. In other words, it picks the students up where they are and works with them in developing their personal writing skills. In addition to visiting classes the Lake county teachers talked with East campus staff members to get their personal evaluation of the new program. Although it's early to tell what the final results of the new writing program will be, the staff of the English department at East campus and its students are most pleased with the skills already developed. The English department from Round Lake high school was sufficiently impressed with the curriculum that they are planning on adopting it in their school for the next year. Photo l.D.
