Shurtleff rendered his decision in the famous case of Leonard et al vs. Pearce et al, which was tried before him in the Circuit court at Woodstock. The controversy is over the right or residents »nrl ad­ jacent property owners to use Lake Zurich as against the objections of persons claiming to own the lake through original patents issued to them by the government. The judge decided in favor of the people who claim they own the lake. Judging from the news of the many activities taking place at Oakhurst recently, it would seem that this vicinity is becoming a winter resort as well as a favorite spot for many to spend the summer months. Many of the people owning homes at Oakhurst have become year 'round residents and are finding just as much fun and entertainment in the country during the winter months as they did during the summer. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the* files of January 23, 1941) A total of 1,869 people in McHenry county were dependent on public assistance in one form or another in November the monthly report of the IRC discloses. Of this number 913 were on general relief; 463 on WPA; 447 on old age assistance; 130 mothers' pensions and 52 blind per­ sons. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 26, 1956) Vandalism was reported by McHenry police some time in the ssrly hours "'hen five windows were broken in the Overton garages on Front street. Three were struck by coke bottles in the newest garage on the east side of the street and two in the garage on the west side. Nothing inside the garages was taken, indicating that it was the act of vandalism. Saturday, Jan. 28, will be an important day for members of the newly forfned Kiwsnis club of McHenry, for it is that date that Charter night will be observed, the program to be held at the McHenry high school. Twenty-three received fines for speeding in the city this past week, since the new electric device was put into use. Among University of Illinois students completing work this rfionth for mid­ year degrees is Thomas Kent, son of Mrs. Julia Kent of McHenry, who receives his BS degree. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 29, 1971) Postmaster LeRoy Smith has announced that public finance windows, commonly referred to as "window service", will be ciosed Saturdays, starting Feb. 20. He further announced that the McHenry office has been observing opening and closing hours that are conjtrary to U.S. Postal Service rules which state they are to be open not to exceed eight and one-half continuous hours. Starting Feb. 15 the window hours will be 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. About 8,000 customers of Commonwealth Edison Co., in this area were without electrical power for several hours as the result of an auto accident on Lincoln avenue, east of McHenry.

In the past, blood suppliers collected this "fee" from donations of blood by family or friends or fellow members of a group donation plan. Since the new law took ef­ fect, patients are no longer required to "pay back or pay for" blood. Blood banks must rely on persons who will donate blood as a social service-a situation which may have an adverse effect on available blood supplies in Illinois. Donating Mood regularly is the only way to guarantee that blood will be available when needed. You may donate blood if you are between the ages of 18 and 66; weigh more than 110 pounds; and are in good health with no recent serious illness, surgery or history of certain diseases. You will find that giving blood is a quick and simple process-45 minutes at the most. Your temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate and red cell level will be checked. Then, you will lie on a comfortable couch or bed while a pint of blood is being drawn. You will sip refreshments-coffee, soda or orange juice-and rest to prevent dizziness. That's all- -you're through! The average man has about 12 pints of blood; the average woman has nine pints. Your body quickly replaces the blood you donate; so the small amount given won't be missed. You can give blood at your community blood bank, hospital or Red Cross. A blood donor is a very special person-one who cares enough to share blood with people who might die without it. The Illinois Department of Public Health hopes their theme--" It is when you give of yourself that you truly give"-will set the tone for all potential blood donors in Illinois. Gary Woman New United Way Head IRMA BRAUN With the culmination of another successful fund raising campaign in McHenry county, the board of directors of the United Way promptly elected a new president to guide the organization through the 1981 campaign next Fall. She is the former United Way board member, Irma Braun, of Cary. Ms. Braun, with many other Volunteers, was responsible in a great measure for the realization of $275,000 contributed to the recent United Way cam­ paign. The original goal had been set at $256,000. Ms. Braun is married, has three children and one grandchild. She is a member of the Women's committee, Moldmakers division of the Society of the Plastics In- dusir" Northwest Suburban Women's Council of the City of Hope; Friends of Judson (college) and the Algonquin Business association. She has been a member of the board of the United Way of McHenry County for two years. "United Way seems to me the best possible way," she said, "for people to help many other people in their communities, as well as county-wide. I wish all citizens of our county could become better acquainted with the work done by our agencies and with the fine people associated with these groups. So much more can be accomplished by the private sector, working through agencies such as those associated with our United Way of McHenry County, with much lower administrative costs than government operates with." VA News Seventy percent of the 430,000 Vietnam era veterans who live in Illinois have taken some form of training under the GI Bill. Statistics show that 296,420 veterans used their educational benefits and that of those 183,543 attended college. Veterans have ten years from the date of discharge to complete training under the Gl Biii. Veterans discharged in 1971 have only one more year of training remaining in which they can draw a monthly check to help them defray educational costs. Training is not restricted to college, as there are programs for on-the-job training and other residential schools providing technical training that may be attended. Donald R. Ramsey, director of the VA regional office in Chicago, urged any veteran who still has time available to consider using the GI Bill for training.

State Police To Continue D.W.I. Program Capt. Hugh S. McGinley, commander of District No. 15, Illinois State Police on the Illinois Tollway, com­ plimented his troopers on their continued success in the apprehending of drunk drivers on the tollway during I960. Captain McGinley stated, "With all the publicity about how police officers are slowing down their driving while intoxicated arrests because they are time consuming and cause long court trials, the troopers on the tollway during I960 made 772 drunk driving arrests, an increase of 229 from arrests made during 1979." "Since alcohol is involved in 50 percent of the personal injury accidents we must continue to get the drinking driver off the road. During 1961 our troopers will con­ tinue their efforts toward the apprehension of the drunk and drinking drivers to protect the motoring public," McGinley said.
