K 14 - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1980 Placing Food In The Pantry mp Twice Told Tales The McHenry FISH food pantry is benefitting from the CROP Hunger Walk held in this area last Spring. The May 4 walk drew about 1,000 participants and netted $3,118 for hunger causes. CROP, the hunger fighting arm of Church World Service, allows up to 25 percent of event proceeds to be returned to a local hunger fighting agency. For the second year in McHenry, these funds have been designated for the FISH food pantry. In behalf of CROP, Lynne Sobczak, left above, presents a check for $779.50 to the McHenry pantry. Receiving the check for FISH, Sheila Grant said the funds are desperately needed now. Local churches supply the pantry with non-perishable foods, but perishables and emergency supplies must be purchased. While 75 percent of the Walk monies are fighting hunger outside the community, FISH and CROP are helping to eliminate hunger in McHenry. Anyone needing help, or wishing to help, should call 385-8020. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 9, 1930) At the regular City Council meeting an insurance man from Woodstock attended the meeting and presented an insurance program to the board for the protection of firemen when on duty. No definite action was taken on /the proposition as the present policies have not quite expired and the firemen committee desire to compare rates of home agents. Adam Ibsch requested permission for the placing of gasoline storage tanks, but under recent rulings such permits have to be obtained from the state. A real estate transfer was reported when Fred J. Smit became the owner of tf building in Johnsburg, cupied by the Central garage. The building was purchased from H.G. Saal. Mr. Smith had conducted the garage at this location since he took it over from Het- termann Bros, about two years ago. He was an em­ ployee there for ten years before he purchased the business. Mr. Smith has had splendid success during these two years, having increased the business and gives good satisfaction to his many customers. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken «from the files of October 10, 1940) The people of McHenry weren't neglecting to attend the football games because they were disinterested; they just weren't able to get to the games when they were held in the afternoon. This fact was established Monday night when the inaugural game was held under the new lights on the McHenry Communitv high school grounds and between five and six hundred people turned out. Although they were disappointed to see the McHenry team lose, they showed their appreciation to av those who donated much time and energy to make the lighted field possible. A total of 268 marriage licenses had been issued in the office of County Clerk Raymond D. Woods at the close of the nine-month period ending Sept. 30, 1940. The total for the entire twelve months in 1939 was only 276. There is no doubt but that the conscription program aided in increasing the number of licenses issued in the county during the past four months. ininiweirsoiirw Soil© THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY & MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25th - 29th 0 AND DON'T FORGET OUR 40th ANNIVERSARY DRAWING Monday Thurs .
