Illinois Bell COIMIC FIFTY YEARS AGO 5 (Taken from the files of ' October 3, 1929) * The return to standard time .took place Saturday night, when residents of Chicago and ?>earby cities turned their clocks back and hour after five months of daylight saving time. ^People of this vicinity are not ; affected by the change only '• that it means a slight change in , the train schedule, in the time ^,0f radio programs and broadcast of baiseball games. From Bacon's Strip: "Odds \ around this part of the country seems to be all in favor of ' Philadelphia to trip the Cubs in „ the big series. Lack of a strong i catching staff seems to be the reason and this same staff is just as likely to rise to the heights and give the Cubs' . faithful rooters a pleasant surprise. Charlie Root against Lefty Grove is my guess for the ? opener of the big series. Charlie ; is tied with Guy Bush for league I honors but his recent per- * formances have been far most «. brilliant. Connie Mack is ex- i pected to use Grove as his best ^bet to gain that all important advantage of winning the % opener. *< Taken from the files of Oc­ tober 10, 1929) ? During the regular City ^Council meeting for October £D.J. Granger was hired at $30 vper month for daily inspection of the sewer pumps to see that 'they are properly oiled and in working order. It was shown that one of the pumps is tem­ porarily out of order and that the other pump is satisfactorily carrying the load. A representative of the Standard Oil Co. petitioned the board for a permit to erect a service Station at the corner of Route 61 jand Waukegan road on the property owned by the Rich­ mond Thompson estate. This will be a station of equal beauty if not more beautiful than the one near Justen's hotel. They desire to have the station constructed before cold weather. The officers and d >c!ors ov the McHenry local ot the Pure Milk association are in Chicago today to attend a meeting of important matters. Those from McHenry attending are E.A. Thomas, C.W. Gibbs,r W E. ^YhHing,v Math Glosson, Peter U. Freund, John Pfannenstill and James Hunter. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 12, 1939) Carter Jenkins, head of the State Department of Con­ servation, gave an informal opinion concerning the Fox river projects. He said the best weapon the property owners along the Fox river have against power-users to prevent the lowering of water levels is seeking an injunction from the courts. In the injunction the men who want to maintain river levels have a powerful. weapon. Any power-user after being enjoined against with­ drawing water which would lower the level, would be mighty careful not to put himself in a position to be summoned up for comtempt of court. Miss Sarah Harmon of McHenry received a gold certificate for the unique hair style she produced for Selon's Hair Styling contest at Chicago. The model, Miss Evelyn An­ derson of McHenry, was selected from many models. The Central Market on Green street is displaying what it claims is the world's largest , bologna, 10 to 14 feet long and six inches in diameter. Five dollars in trade is going to be offered to the person who guesses the closest to the weight of this monster. (Taken from the files of Oc­ tober 19, 1939) Approximately $18,000 in unpaid taxes were sold the first day of the tax sale which runs from October 16 to October 21 according to a reporl given by C. Frank Daly, county treasurer. One firm, George P. Street of Atlanta, Ga., pur­ chased $17,000 of this amount. The remainder was sold to several people in McHenry county. This is the first time in a number of years that any interest has been taken by outside buyers in the sale of unpaid taxes. Ghosts and goblins will be short lived around the little city of McHenry on the approaching Halloween. The business men are heartily contributing toward a fund to provide the young folks of the community with a party or amusement of some kind on that night. Taken from S.I.H. column: "Can you beat those Cubs? They fail to win a pennant and right away quick they want to fire their manager. All poor ol' Gabby has done for the past eighteen years was to carry the team on his shoulders. He sparked the fire of victory in many a game with mediocre Cub squads throughout those years. After all, this was the first full term for ol' Gabby. And - didn't he finish in the first division". TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 7, 1954) The advisory council of the M c H e n r y v o c a t i o n a l agriculture department has solved two annual problems, the rotation of personnel and the planning of the adult courses for this school year. Four members completed their periods of duty this fall. James Curran, chairman for the past year and a member of the counca officially and unof­ ficially for over seven years, is deserving of a year's leave of absence, according to those who have benefitted from his work. Two other regulars who have also served well since the council started officially three years ago, Allen Dimon and Bill Yung, Jr., are retired along with Chuck Weingart, who was a dependable member in spite of his many other activities. At a recent meeting, it was pointed out by Charles Miller of McHenry that Memorial Hospital for McHenry County must be expanded and modernized if its doors are going to stay open. The situation is critical and calls for action now. The old structure in the rear is a continuous worry and expense to operate. (Taken from the files of Oc­ tober 14, 1954) McHenry area residents are asked to support the Girl Scouts in their only money-making project Of the year, when the young ladies will be going from door to door conducting their annual cookie sale. The coveted traveling plaque, which made a fellowship journey through Division 5 of Kiwanis In­ ternational, has been won by the McHenry township club. The plaque was presented to the club at the district con­ vention in Chicago this month. There are now over 36,000 registered voters for the Nov. 2 election as the result of the special appeal for all persons of voting age to become properly registered. McHenry township ranks third in the county with 5,304. The greatest number is in precinct 2 where 1,047 are eligible to vote. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 10, 1969). 1 Atty. Roland Herrmann was spokesman for a group of property owners from the Country Club Estates sub­ division at the City Council meeting to discuss a petition for annexing to the city of McHenry. A ground-breaking ceremony will be held Oct. 12 at Harrison school, Wonder Lake, for the new addition to be completed by May 1, 1970. Pfc. Walter I. Hunt has been awarded the Bronze Star medal for heroism in action in June of this year. The Bronze Star was presented to Pfc. Hunt for holding his position against the enemy when they attempted to infiltrate his camp. He held his positron and helped drije off the attack while oth§ patrol fled. He all! wounded buddy pKlfTng the action. (Taken from the files of October 15, 1969) Both county and city police officers issued warnings of strict enforcement of the law, particularly in regard to vandalism, in anticipation of Halloween. Mr. and Mrs. Edward May accepted certificates for the Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart Medal posthumously awarded their son, Specialist Five Daniel A. May. The Bronze Star was awarded for meritorious achievement in ground operations against a hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam during the period Sept. 11, 1968 to June 17, 1969. The Blue Streaks of Wood­ stock dampened the Warrior Homecoming festivities con­ siderably more than the in­ clement weather as they rolled to a 42-0 slaughter of the hapless Warriors on Lake McCracken last Friday night. The monsoon like deluge slowed the already creeping Warriors to a crawl. Woodstock beat the Warriors for the first time in 13 years. Looking For Test People For over a year the Depart­ ment of Defense has been at­ tempting to identify former military and civilian Defense personnel who participated in the atmospheric nuclear tests conducted from 1945 to 1962. The Defense Nuclear agency is the executive agent for this program. If you participated in these tests, which were held largely in Nevada and at Bikini and Enewetak atolls in the Pacific, you are urged to contact the Defense Nuclear agency if you have not done so in 1978-1979. The Defense Nuclear agency is attempting to reconstruct a complete history of the at­ mospheric nuclear test program, including names of participants and any radiation doses they received. One of the purposes of this effort is to enable the National Academy of Sciences and other scientitic organizations to determine if there are health hazards resulting from participation in t h e t e s t s .

In accepting the appointment, Asner appealed for increased participation in the many fund-raising possibilities organized around the traditional Trick or Treat for UNICEF collections.
