FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 9, 1941) Farmers will receive almost one cent a quart more for their fluid milk delivered to dealers during September than they did for August. The boost is a result of new amendments to the federal ^niarketing order issued early last month. It lOt affect the total jSrice, which recently was increased by more than enough to discount the wholesale price. Marriage licenses issued during the first nine months of this year in McHenry county showed a slight gain over the same period of time in 1940 it was disclosed recently. A total of 274 were issued up until Oct. 1 of this year while in 1940 the number was 268. A gain of fifteen in July over the same month last year was a big point in the increase so far this year. During the past month a drop of seven was noted9 over the same month last year. TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of October 11, 1956) * The long anticipated day when the completion of the Elm street road, widening and now McHenry residents are looking forward to the formal opening of the beautiful street. Governor William G. Stratton will visit the city on Oct. 12 to cut the white satin ribbon on the corner of Green and Elm street, officially opening the road. The road program was financed through a com­ bination of state and city funds. The state pays 75 percent and the city the remaining 25. The total cost was undertaken at a cost of $76,000. The driving public should take their hats off to McHenry police officers for the splendid way in which they handled a very difficult problem during the widening and resurfacing of Elm street. A particularly strong gust of wind toppled over the west wall in the new McHenry Savings & Loan company building now under con­ struction on Elm street. The incident occurred as heavy winds swept across the high­ way. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 15, 1971) McHenry county sheriff's deputies announced they had . in custody a man accused of kidnapping a 10-year-old girl late Sunday afternoon on Valley View road, Crystal Lake. The name of the kidnapper had not been revealed at press time. The girl was, released unharmed about 6 p.m. Sunday evening at the intersection of Route 176 and Valley View road after a two-hour ordeal. She was enroute to her home riding her bicycle when a man in a truck grabbed her and forced her into the vehicle. The problem of coming up with sufficient money to pay for the new courthouse was the No. 1 consideration of the county board of supervisors in meeting. The financial squeeze in which the cpunty board finds itself results from the elimination of the 3 percent collection fee for­ merly^ allowed. About $700,000 was realized an­ nually from this fee and would have allowed the courthouse to be paid for within two years .after completion. i -J Excellent Programs fe A ..
