FORTY YEARS AGO ken from the files of August 7, 1939) The courts were kept busy ; 'ith many suits filed against lly Lake residents. Several ersons with permanent hicago residences made false affidavits as judges of election Inasmuch as they were not ( ualified voters of Lily Lake. \ hese cases had nothing to do 1 ith the recent case tried in the i ircuit court in connection with 1 le organization of the village. 5 The body of a woman, later identified as Mrs. Julia Kaufman, a summer resident, Was found floating in the Fox river a mile afid a half south of ibwn, by three fishermen. Testimony introduced at the inquest revealed the 59-year- oSd woman had been suffering from a heart ailment. It is presumed she suffered an Attack while sitting on the pier i(i front of her daughter's Cottage the previous evening and fell into the water. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 12, 1954) In spite of generous response by the public in recent appeals for funds to carry on thfe fight against polio, so numerous have been the cases in parts of the nation in the last few years that it has been impossible to keep pace with the growing need for money. As a result, an emergency polio drive is being conducted in August throughout the country. Public schools open Sept. 7, with nine new teachers to meet students. Three of them are in the high school, two In the junior high, three at Edgebroqk and one special instructor to serve all three. The McHenry county junior fair found many young members of this community successfully completing another year's work by en­ tering their best against the rest of the county. All could not Win top honors, but to be active enough to enter was a reward in itself. Registered voters in McHenry county -about 36,000 of them-received certification Of registration cards during the past week from the office of County Clerk Raymond D. Woods. Previous registration cards expired July 31 and the new cards will be in effect through that same date in 1956. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 6, 1969) Several McHenry area young people captured top honors when trophies were presented for best entries in open class competition at the County fair held last weekend. Two of the proud possessors of grand championships were Richard Weingart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Weingart, and Bud Stilling, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Stilling. Both are members of McHenry's Go- Get ters 4-H club. Under sponsorship of parents in the communities of Lilymoor, Holiday Hills, Lakeland Park, Kent Acres, Lakemoor and Eastwood Manor, a program of public interest is scheduled locally, dealing with the drug problem. Bert Boerner, county probation officer, will be guest speaker. Everyone of legal age is invited to attend and participate in the question and answer period which will follow Mr. Boerner's talk. Although it's baseball season in the states, the end of July saw the peak of football activity for American servicemen in the Panama Canal Zone. The end of the gridiron activity meant that Army Specialist Five Michael Gantert, of Wonder Lake, played on the winning team of the Panama Armed Forces Flag Football league, Mowing Policy Saves Fuel A new Illinois Department of Transportation (DOT) policy to eliminate one of three mowing cycles performed along high­ ways in the state, can save an estimated 100,000 gallons of gasoline each year, said DOT spokesman John Burke. In addition to the change" in' frequency of mowing, Burke said, all state and U.S. designated highways will be mowed only to the ditch line. Areas where motorists" visibility may be affected will be monitored and mowed as needed, according to Burke. While saving fuel the new policy will also help prevent soil erosion, reduce main­ tenance costs, protect native flowers, and provide better cover for nesting wildlife, Burke added. * * * * Most people know little about real work, « Best Of Press So It Seems There are two periods when fishing is good at a summer resort-before you get there and after you leave. -Transcript, Boston. BETTY LEONARD WORKWISE , 1. I understand Illinois has a prevailing wage rate. How can I And out what the prevailing wage rate is for drill press operators in my area? The term prevailing wage rate is used in reference to wage and fringe benefits paid to persons employed on public works projects such as con­ struction of roads and buildings. Only workers engaged in actual construction work, or in the delivery of materials to the construction site are covered. There is however a source for wage and salary information for occupations which are prevalent in a variety of manufacturing and non- manufacturing establishments. That source is: Illinois Department of Labor, Research and Analysis, 910 South Michigan avenue, 12th floor, Chicago, 60605, (312 ) 793- 2316. 2. I have a friend who was referred by public aid to the WIN program. She got a good job after a lot of training at a trade school. I receive public aid and would like to be trained Two new department heads have assumed responsibilities at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, Lee Pesce, executive director, has an­ nounced. Betty Leonard is the director of the newly established department of environmental services. James Wadford is the manager of radiologic technology at the hospital. Jim, who lives at Stream- wood with his wife, Barbara, and their two daughters, Nicole, 6, and Danielle, 2, earned his associate degree at Truman college, Chicago, in 1969. He is presently working on his Bachelor's degree at Western Illinois university. He Worked as chief technician with the University of Chicago and from July 16, 1976, until he joined the Memorial hospital staff he was a health physics technician with the Illinois department of Public Health. Mrs. Leonard and her husband, Harold live in Woodstock. They have eight for something too, but I have two children under the age of six. My friend says I'm not eligible even though I can get a baby sitter. I don't think that's fair. The work incentive program (WIN) is for recipients of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). If you have children under the age of six, you are exempt. That means you are not required to par­ ticipate in the WIN program. But, you most certainly can participate on a voluntary basis. Your public aid caseworker will be glad to explain this in more detail. Questions may be submitted to Workwise, 910 S. Michigan, Room 1823, Chicago, Illinois 60605.
