In other parts of the country, damaging floods can leave homes damp and provide a medium for mildew growth, states Nancy Moore, Univer­ sity of Illinois home economist, v Molds which cause mildew are always in the air but need moisture to grow. Mildew leaves a musty odor, discolors fabrics, sometimes causing them to rot. Molds develop most often on cotton, linen, rayon, silk, wool, leather, wood and paper. Damp, dark, warm and poorly aired cellars, crawl spaces, clothes closets; draperies and rugs in basements; shower curtains; clothes stored when damp and- or dirty are all perfect en­ vironments for mildew growth. 4.' - • Ms. Moore advises that the spread of mildew in moist environs can be prevented and" or remedied with water­ proofing, ventilation and suds and water care. To control causes of damp­ ness, replace cracked or defective mortar around a house. Check that drainage is adequate. Consider water­ proofing concrete and other masonry walls above ground. Seal absorbent brick and other surfaces. Prevent moisture from entering crawl spaces by spreading a layer of moisture barrier material over the soil under the building. Good ventilation helps remove moisture. When outside air is drier than inside air, it absorbs excess moisture. Use • an electric fan to circulate air, if natural breezes are not , sufficient. Air conditioners take up warm air, cool it and cir­ culate the cool air back into a room. A dehumidifier helps control humidity. When using an air conditioner or dehumidifier, keep windows • and doors closed. If the house is very damp, turning the heat on for a short time will help. Then open doors iTfM and windows to4et moist air out. A light burned in a closet helps dry this area. Keep closets, dresser drawers, basements, bathrooms and other suscep­ tible areas as clean as possible. The method will depend on the surface. Some may require regular care with detergent or soap suds ; others need special cleaners. Prevent mildew growth on home furnishings and clothing by storing garments and fur­ nishings only when clean and dry! Even many man-made fibers which resist mildew must be kept clean; soil on them, under the right con­ ditions, can start mildew growth on other fabrics, con­ tinues Ms. Moore. Water-repellent sprays, mildew inhibitors, fungicides and chemicals to absorb moisture help keep fabrics and surfaces moisture and mold free. Available in department, drug or building supply stores, these are sold under various trade names. Always use -ac­ cording to directions and keep out of toe reach of children and pets. What if mildew has already appeared in your home? If there is mildew on clothing or household fabrics, remove spots as soon as discovered before mold can weaken materials. Begin by brushing off mold outdoors so mildew spores do not scatter in the house. On washable fabrics, pretreat by rubbing detergent into the dampened stain. Then, launder the items ip hot water and chlorine bleach, if safe for fabric, and detergent or soap. Should stain remain, sponge with hydrogen peroxide. Rinse and launder. If not bleach safe, soak items in an oxygen bleach according to directions. Then wash. Take non-Washables to the dry cleaner; identify the stain. . Upholstered pieces, mat­ tresses, rugs and carpets need to be treated differently since mildew can penetrate deeply. Wonder Lake When possible, start by taking the mildewed item outside and brush mold away with a broom. Using the upholstery at­ tachment of a vacuum cleaner, run it over the surface to draw out more mold. Remember, mold spores are going into the vacuum, so dispose of bag or sweepings outside to- avoid scattering mold spores. If the article is still damp, dry it with an electric heater or fan. Sun and air thoroughly to stop mold growth. If mildew remains on upholstered fur­ niture, wipe it with a cloth* wrung out of a dilute alcohol solution (1 cup denatured or rubbing alcohol to 1 cup water),. Dry the article thoroughly.. Sponge mildewed rugs and carpets with a rug shampoo, or use an electric shampoo machine. If possible, let the article dry in the sun. Wipe mildew from leather with a cloth wrung out of a dilute alcohol solution. Dry in a current of air; use a fan for better circulation. If . mildew remains, wash with saddle soap. Wipe with a damp cloth; dry in an airy place. Flooding and humidity can cause excessive mildew problems. Be prepared by waterproofing, ventilating and keeping a home clean. If mildew does cause trouble, fresh air and suds will help rid furnishings and clothing of the pesky mold, concludes Ms. Moore. The University of Illinois Extension service in McHenry county is available to all McHenry county residents. In 1978, the office, which houses two home economists and two agriculturalists, had 12,000 contacts with McHenry county people. Many of these contacts were with people who wanted help with problems of canning, freezing, lawn care, marketing crops and the 4-H program, to mention a few. The office is located at 224 W. Judd street in Woodstock. Call 338-4747 or 3737 for information concerning your problems. Anne Sowers 653 9549 Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from toe files of July 18, 1929) Efforts to effect the liquidation of the Citizens State pank of McHenry without the appointment of a receiver have failed, due to lack of concerted action on the part of the directors and stockholders, making it necessary for State's Auditor Oscar Nelson to in- struct the attorney to file a bill in the Circuit court of McHenry county under the insolvency laws of Illinois for the ap­ pointment. The appointment of Theo. Hamer of Woodstock as receiver for the impaired financial institution was made by Mr. Nelson. Fred B. Bennett of Woodstock was named at­ torney. , The mail car driven by George Stock plunged off the end of the mill pond bridge and hurling down the almost per­ pendicular embankment came to a stop at the edge of the mill pond ip an upright position. The hair-raising escapade took place when the steering gear of the car broke as George was taking the mail to the afternoon train. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 27, 1939) - Our community progress. Progress means change, as well as advancement. What was good in the past be retained; what was un­ desirable, discarded ; and what today has l>een proven superior, adopted, if one wishes to keep abreast of the times. This is true of business, as well as a community. An indication of this is the Justen Funeral home, first in our city, now under construction on Illinois Routes 20 and 31, West McHenry. It is being built by Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Justen, in memory of the late N.J. Justen, who first founded the establishment in 1883. The personnel of this business now consists of Peter M. Justen and Edward Pinnow, both licensed embalmers and funeral directors, and Mrs. Justen as lady assistant. In order to stimulate and keep increasing interest in tennis among the local players, the Lions club has offered two trophies, one for the winner of a girls' tournament and one for Uie winner of a men's tour­ nament. These trophies will be circulating trophies and, to become the permanent possession of one, a player must win it three times, but this does not have to be three successive years. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 22, 1954) The work shop at the Chapel Hill country club was broken into and burglars made away with a timing device used for turning on and shutting off water on the course. Value given at $250. A large crowd of members and guests of the American Legion post and its auxiliary gathered at the Legion home for the installation of newly elected officers. Robert Con­ way was chosen commander of the Legion, while Frances Matchen was elected president of the auxilairy. Richard J. Novak , of McHertry, a Dune graduate of the local high school, has been named winner of the agriculture scholarship to the University of Illinois in McHenry county. His name was among several who were awarded scholarships after competitive examinations conductett/last April in the office of R.L. Tazewell, county superintendent of schools. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 16, 1969) Miss Judi Ford, Miss America 1969, will be the special guest of the city of McHenry on Marine day. Judi, who is a native of Belvidere, 111., will be in McHenry the entire day. Her parents have been invited to be the guests of the McHenry Chamber of Commerce that day also. Miss America, who is 19 years old, will be present at the luncheon honoring her.

Visitors From Germany Arrive July 5, Paul and "Louise Marke of Wonder Center, were at the International building of O'Hare International airport, to greet Paul's sister, her husband, and son as they arrived from Germany. The Markes hadn't seen them in 46 years, so it was a very joyful reunion. The trio flew in from Var- men-Wuppertal, Germany, for their first time in the United States. Expecting travel to be somewhat as it is in Europe, they anticipated driving to Disney Land as a little trip from Wonder Lake. They also thought they could saunter out to California! Instead, Mrs. Marke tells me they will be traveling between Wonder Lake and McHenry to another brother's home, Alex Marke, and up into Wisconsin to some other relatives. They will be in . the states for a month. A cousin of Mrs. Marke's, Marian, has also arrived this week from California. They haven't seen her in 21 years. All these visitors added to the excitement of Paul Marke's 75th birthday on Sunday, July 15. Paul was honored at a picnic in his home by his children, Paul, Joan, Marilyn, Lori, Jim, Chuck, and their families, along with their youngest daughter, Francine. There were fifty-five people there to help celebrate. YOUNG AT HEARTS Because the first Wednesday of the month fell on a holiday, the Young At Hearts held their first meeting of the month July 11. At this time, two guests, Mr. and Mrs. Pitzen, were welcomed in as new members. Plans were finalized for the club picnic to be held July 18, in Christ the King church hall. The meat will be provided, but the members have been asked to each bring a dish to pass. The members have been busy looking over their favorite recipes in preparation for the Hake sale which will be held Sunday, July 22, from 8 a.m. until ? in Christ the King hall. They plan to have a wide variety of goodies for customers to chOose from. After the meeting, three delicious cakes were enjoyed by the members SUMMER INJURIES Three Wonder Lake boys recently encountered dif­ ficulties as results of some fun activities. Ross Ruzicka was just having fun with some basebaii piaying with a friend, when the ball hit his thumb just the wrong way. For a couple of days, they thought it was sprained, but when it continued to hurt, and was x-rayed, a break was discovered. Now Ross will be on the disabled list of the White Sox boys' baseball team for the end of the season. Lance Sobczak has been McHenry Medical Group announces the Association of Daniel L.

Jim Wagner wasn't as lucky as a result of his bike accident. That last jump was a dUly! He didn't quite make it and his face went into the handle bars. Now Jim looks as if he had the starring role in Rocky III! He lost one of his front teeth, chipped two others, has a broken nose, stitches in his upper lip, a bruised arm and leg. All that, and Jim was able to play ball with his team, the Yankees, the following night. I saw Jim right after the accident happened and I'm still recovering, but here he is playing ball - kids!!! MOORE'S ACTIVITIES The past couple of months have been exciting ones for Jack and Dorthea Moore of Wonder Woods. May 5, they traveled to Kankakee, 111., to attend the wedding of their oldest granddaughter, Donna Engleking to Mark Leadingham. She is the step­ daughter of Jack Moore, Jr., and daughter of his wife Dorothy. June 26 marked 29 years of residence at Wonder Lake, in the same home, for Jack and Dorthea. Their home started out small, but has developed into everything they wanted through additions and a lot of love. Now the senior Moores are enjoying the company of their 10 year old granddaughter, Brenda Moore, who will be staying with them for a couple of weeks. Dorthea seems to be enjoying girl activities with Brenda, like braiding hair and shopping trips. The Moores will end the month of July by celebrating their 37th wedding anniversary on July 31. They have certainly had a pleasant summer. BASEBALL SCHEDULE Baseball season is coming to an end.
