PAGE 29 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. OCTOBER 23,198! r Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 29, 1931). An army of 500 specially trained service men of the Western United Gas and Electric company will start work in McHenry on Nov. 2, making the necessary ad­ justments on gas burning appliances to utilize natural gas. The 500 men, all picked from the Western United territory, were carefully selected for qualifications and experiences in mechanics, and were give given a week's schooling, fitting them for the work exacted of them. They will work together in one group and will proceed from one town to anotner as the conversion from the old to the new gas progresses. Charles A. Comiskey, the late owner of the Chicago White Sox, died at his home near Eagle River, Wis. Mr. Comiskey will be remem­ bered by many friends here, as about 18 years ago he spent much of his time in visits to the home of his brother, Ed Comiskey, on the place now owned by Albert Vales. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the the files of October 30, 1941). Most of the Pine Tree Dairy farms in McHenry county owned by William J.

The grain judging team was made up of Clarence Stackhouse, Robert Knox, Robert Sherman, Dick Conway and Robert An­ derson. * > TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of November 1, 1956). Probably the most con­ troversial subject to be settled at the Nov. 6 election with the exception of the selection of a president is the Blue Ballot. At that time, Illinois voters must make a momentous decision in the proposal to amend Article LC, the revenue article of the state constitution. Due to the indefinite disability of the police car, a meeting of the aldermen was called " in which an emergency was declared and bids received on cars ready for immediate delivery. All dealers showed interest in the city problem and submitted unusually low bids. The Clark Chevrolc g! J.M.M!.) .M,MU.

Support of the new banking act and rejection of the Blue Ballot were made by members of the McHenry Chamber of Commerce at the regular meeting. The possibility and hope for repair of the - old bridge across the Fox river were discussed and A.P. Freund appointed to continue a study with the local City Council and the county board of supervisors. A nominating committee was named for the selection of new direc­ tors. Butch's Auto Service, owned and operated by George Freund, opened in its new garage located at 516 Front street last weekend. Mr. Freund had been at his Elm street location for seven years and prior to that had been with the Ford garage for 25 years. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of ^November 3, 1971). Sue Anderson of Mineral Springs, and A1 Weingart of McHenry were chosen queen and king of Marian Central's homecoming. Three lady crossing guards were named this fall by City Police Chief Kenneth Espey to assist school children at busy in­ tersections on their way to and from classes. They are Genevieve Dowe, Betty Smith and Margaret Thomas. When the bartender arrived at the Moose lodge, he discovered that a gray metal box containing the organization's money was missing from the vault. There was no evidence of forcible entry to the building or the vault, indicating to officials that someone had keys. The cash box con­ tained $340 in cash and checks. ^ On Nov. 5, the parents of District 15 children will receive a different pupil progress report, made necessary because of the change in emphasis of in­ struction. The adoption of individualized instruction in some subject matter areas has made the previous report cards obsolete. x HELPING PAWS ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 205 * Crystal Lake.

Indian Artifacts For Final Museum Program Sunday, Oct. 25, the McHenry County Historical museum in Union will round out its season of special Sunday programs with one on Indian artifacts. Beginning at 2 p.m., the Rev. Gene Lackore of Crystal Lake will speak on the three main prehistoric cultures of this area, st >ne artifacts such as bird stones and identify artifacts brought in by museum visitors. The Rev. Lackore became in^jglved collecting projectile points some nine years ago while working on his Master's degree in Outdoor Teacher Education at Northern Illinois university. Most of his collection was found in Kane and Ogle counties and in West Central Illinois, Although he has four frames of materials found east of Crystal Lake by a collector in 1880. Many of these items will be on display. Each year the Historical society tries to present a program similar to this on area Indian artifacts and it usually proves to be one of the most interesting and well attended. Visitors are en­ couraged to bring in their artifacts either for iden­ tification or to display. Arrangements will be made for such displays. As this Sunday also marks the final Sunday of the season, it will be the last time to see the vast collection of McHenry county artifacts housed in the museum. The museum is open from 1:30 to 4:30. • * * • No teacher can do much with the brain of a pupil who doesn't want to learn. OCTOBER SPECIAL! 15%0FF ON ALL Personalized Christmas Cords THRU.
