Neiss was elected commander to succeed William Bickler, who has served the past year. Howard Cairns was chosen vice-commander. A meeting of the Fox River Improvement association was held in the village hall at Cary. Resolutions were adopted demanding that the $25,000 appropriated by the Illinois general assembly for the improvement of Fox river be spent at once to rehabilitate the stream between Burton's bridge and McHenry. The McHenry Locals concluded a very successful season by winning over a combined Long Lake and Round Lake team, 4-2. It made it twelve straight and showed the winning ability of the Locals. Ed Thennes blasted a triple that \tas really the deciding low, because it drove in one run. The pinch hitters and utility men proved their worth by scoring a run. William Kreutzer doubled and scored when T. Anderson followed suit. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oct. 2, 1941) McHenry county school directors voted to make a "county school survey to determine advisability of Consolidation in certain areas. The vote in which ibers of boards of ition and directors of rural schools were en- I to cast a ballot resulted 118 votes for the survey and 61 against it. v The traditional rivalry Wween McHenry and Grant was renewed again on McHenry high school's lighted field. The game was hard fought with both teams giving everything in quest of victory. The final score was 13-6. John. Owen McGee, who has been seriously ill at the home of his parents on Riverside drive, is im­ proving. Ralph Smith, who has been ill for the past two months, although still confined to his home, is able to be out of bed some each day. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oct. 4, 1956) James Kirk, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh H. Kirk of Emerald Park subdivision, will receive his Eagle Scout, Oct. 5, at the high school cafeteria during a very impressive investiture. The Eagle Scout award is the highest rank in Scouting ana is given only to those who are physically strong, mentally awake, morally straight and self reliant; to those who accept responsibility in activities and projects of the troop or unit, meet obligations in the home, school, church, community and nation. The senior class chose six girls and six boys as can­ didates for the homecoming queen and king titles. They are Kathy Anderson, Sara Kay Dougles, Jeannette Freund, Nancy Litke, Ruth P h a n n e n s t i l l , S u e Strinespring, John Hogan, Jim Huemann, Tom Mc- Mahon, Charles Olson, Mark Zimmerman and Ray Jensen.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oct. 8, 1971) The third phase of a three- part program approved by referendum for Johnsburg School District 12 last winter had its start early this fall. When completed, the eight classrooms, gymnasium and art room will represent an expenditure of $444,500 of the entire $560,000 bond issue. Construction has been completed at the Ringwood school, where a $95,000 project was carried out on schedule. Seventy-five boys and girls crowded into the meeting room of the firehouse in McHenry to attend a class for baby sitters on "Fire Prevention and Emergen­ cies".

Delay Some Street Works When I spoke to Cecilia Serritella last week she gave me the answers to some questions people from our subdivision have asked me. The Meadow lane project has been delayed until the Spring of 1982. The Oak street project which is a temporary extension of the present Oak street is scheduled to have work begin in a few weeks. This is certainly a big plus in our ward. Regarding other road repair, the city has been unable to obtain black topping because of strike conditions. These repairs will be done as soon as material is available. Ceil also suggests that with Fall upon us, come out and walk through one of our beautiful parks we have here in McHenry. AT LAST The block mother cam­ paign hit some snags since we first mentioned the idea but now it looks like all systems are go. I will be calling everyone who volunteered in the next two weeks to make arrangements to deliver the signs that will be displayed in their front window. If you would like to help your community by allowing us to use your house as an emergency stop for children in need, please give me a call at 385-7246 or Ceil Serritella at 385-1480.
