. X SECTION 2 - PAGE 2 - PLA1NDEALER - WEDNESDAY,JANUARY 17, 1979 Winter Fire Safety Rules Wintertime, particularly a rough winter such as this, is the time historically, when most tragic home fires occur, ac­ cording to Charles F. Cliggett, manager, Illinois Fair Plan association. "We're running our heating equipment to capacity and we're staying indoors more and using our appliances to a greater extent," he pointed out. "They must be in good con­ dition and sensibly operated to ensure safety. "Every year, home fires in Illinois not only cause millions of dollars in property damage, but lives are lost. Much of this tragedy can be avoided if homeowners and apartment dwellers follow some simple, reasonable rules." The Illinois Fair Plan association, 175 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, a not-for-profit organization made up of all property insurance companies in the state, offers the following suggestions for a safer winter season: 1. When purchasing a space heater, be sure it has the Un­ derwriters Laboratory, Inc. seal. These labels assure that the unit has been tested for all reasonably foreseeable hazards.• 2. Keep combustibles clear of space heaters. Don't allow dust to accumulate beneath space heaters. Flash fires may result. 3. Keep children away from space heaters and don't allow them to store toys on or near heating units. 4. Place a special asbestos and tin mat beneath space heaters to protect dry flooring. 5. Have your furnace checked by a professional every year before cold weather hits. Keep furnace fans well-oiled to avoid overheating and change filters when they become dirty. If your furance hasn't been checked yet, do it now. (Be sure to call a reputable dealer.) 6. Don't use the kitchen stove as a source of heat. The gas 4 f iv inCOLOD SI 0 A lU PORTRAIT Photgr.

Excessively hot tap water can cause severe scalding. 8. Protect your home by installing smoke and heat detectors. Set up some emergency procedures for quick evacuation in case of a fire. 9. Post the emergency number of the fire department clearly near your home telephone. Instruct children on procedures for reporting fire. 10. Finally, employ good common sense in your housekeeping. Don't allow trash to pile up. Don't overload your outlets. Check and replace defective cords and wiring. Store flammable liquids in tightly capped metal cans in a cool place. Be sure all matches, cigarettes and cigar butts are completely extinguished before disposing of them. WHO KNOWS? 1. On what ship was the J a p a n e s e s u r r e n d e r signed? 2.

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 17, 1929) Mayor Peter W. Frett had the pleasure of attending the inauguration of Louis L. Emmerson, governor of Illinois, and other state officials at Springfield. A most enjoyable evening was spent by the members and friends of Fox River Valley Camp, No. 3251, Royal Neigh­ bors of America, and of Camp No. 97, Modern Woodmen of America, and also the Juveniles, at Stoffel's hall. The event was the public in­ stallation of the officers of the different organizations for the year 1929 and although the evening was a cold one the event was attended by many members and friends. McHenry had its share of all varieties of real winter weather over the weekend, with Sunday probably the coldest day when many thermometers registered 20 degrees below zero, or more. There was a heavy fall of snow, although it did not reach suf­ ficient depth to cause any serious trouble to traffic, although drifts formed along the pavement and the snow plow was kept busy. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 26, 1939) Seven months of married life, entered upon so joyously, came to a tragic close when the young bridegroom was almost in­ stantly killed by a bull. The victim of this sad accident which occurred on the Phan- nenstill farm, 3 miles northeast of Ringwood, was Edward Miller, 28 years old. Lily Lake will not become an incorporated village. Judge Wm. L. Pierce said that county court had no jurisdiction to order an election for the in­ corporation of the village of Lily Lake, and that such an order be set aside and declared void, and that the petition, atfion and judgment of the county court be quashed and that all orders entered by the county court be declared void, having been entered without jurisdiction in this cause. The election was held Nov. 5 and by a vote of 51 to 1 the proposition of incorporation carried. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 21, 1954) As the result of action taken at the board of supervisors meeting, it is expected that residents of the county may vote on a $150,000 bond issue in the April primary. Con­ struction of a new building for the county highway depart­ ment is the project under discussion. A representative of a bonding company was present and explained in detail steps necessary to place the proposition on a special ballot to be voted April 12. On the opening day for filing for places on the April primary ballots, a number of county residents put their hats into the ring for committeemen posts. On the Republican side, Charles Miller filed in Precinct 2, Melvin Walsh for Precinct 3 and Charles Bergdahl in Precinct 5. Filings on the Democratic side included Elmer Murphy in Precinct 5, Larry Huck in Precinct 3 and Harry Brady in Precinct 9. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 15, 1969) Probably the biggest school bond referendum in McHenry's history brought 2,447 voters to the polls in four precincts and approved, by a small margin, the expenditure of $2,200,000. The proposed program received the support of 1,267 voters and was opposed by 1,159 for a margin of 108. The final tally was in contrast to negative votes three times in less than a year and a half. The first election was forty-eight short of passage, the second resulted in a two to one defeat and in the third, held last Oc­ tober, victory was withheld by only forty-four votes. The orange and black of McHenry dropped a narrow 46- 42 decision to the Tigers of Crystal Lake, in a game featuring erratic shooting and terrific defense. McHenry fell just short in the closing moments of the game as the Warriors watched their narrow lead disappear into nothingness. Besides being a free throw contest and a low scoring affair, the game was marred by some weird of­ ficiating decisions which ad­ versely affected the orange and black chances.

Conservation Club Awaits Annual Ice Fishing Derby This weekend is the Mc- Cullom Lake Conservation club's fifth annual Ice Derby, and it promises to be better than ever. Besides the fantastic taxidermy display and Elmer Thorpe's expert archery corner, there will be demon­ strations and wares available to Interest the women at the derby. A few examples of these are macrame, ceramics, mirroring, handicrafts and even a microwave display. For the football enthusiasts there will be Super Bowl games on portable T.V.'s. What more could you ask for? Bring your tip-up; walk out on the ice and set-up; come back in and grab a bite to eat and drink; check the tip-up; come back to watch the game; check the tip-up and pull in a good sized fish; bring it in to be measured and claim your prize. The fun begins at 9 a.m. with fishing lasting till 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, after which good times will take place at the McCullom Lake Beach house in the village of McCullom Lake. It is really a lot of enjoyment; so if you have never been to a fishing derby before, come by and join us. See you there! Not Here Waking up startled, the Con­ gressman's wife shook her hus­ band and claimed "There's a robber in the house. " "No way," the Representative replied groggily. "In the Senate, maybe.
