PLA1NDEALER - WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 11. IKQ One quote was, "Jack liked children and children liked Jack". One time he was greatly disturbed what a small child was afraid of him after her parents threatened to get the policeman after bar if die wasn't good. He bawled out the parents, then brought a present to the (Mid on Christmas Eve. This picture was taken from the corner of Main and Third streets, the Walsh home not shown.

OFFICER JACK WALSH He was a native of Ireland where policeman wen born. For more than 40 years, the late Jack Walsh was city marshal, chief of police, deputy sheriff, constable and truant officer, the law of McHenry wrapped up in one. These duties began before the turn of the century at a salary of $48 per month. There were no police uniforms in McHenry in those days; the derby hat and cigar were standard equipment. When asked why he seldom made an arrest, his reply was, "My job is to keep people out of trouble, not to get them into it". I Another question was, "Why don't you aver pull your gun?" The reply was, "If I ever pull that gun,. I'll use it." Being on call 24 hours a day, it was mostly footwork in the early days. At one time he owned a very fast driving horse that was famous for overtaking a horse thief north of Spring Grove. Stories related by old timers are numerous, but can be summed up with a general feeling that Officer Jack Walsh tempered justice with firmness and fairness. BEACH SAMPUNG Water ssmples collected from swimming beaches by the McHenry County Department of Health Aug. 2, 3 and 4 were obtained from several beaches on the Fox river and from some of the lakes in the county.

Those beeches at which there were two consecutive unsatisfactory samples and which the Department will be posting as unsafe for swimming were White Oak Bay No. 1, White Oak Bay No. 2. Wonder Center No. 2, Deep Spring Woods No. 2. and Deep Spring Woods No. 1, Wonder Lake. **************** Political Corner 5 ****¥»» ¥»¥**********»******»,»****! Redistricting Confusion Following political redistricting, there is confusion concerning the fall election. Congressman Lynn Martin is now i McHenry community, t of the 16th Congressional Martin is a candidate for reelection, but she will not represent this area after the November election because McHenry, end most of the county, will be in the 12th district. tfie 12th Congressional district, with different boundaries, is now sefved by Phillip Crane, who is running en-the Republican Uel»l foi reflections" .7 His opponent will be Dan 1 Antioch, a Democrat whose not on the primary ballot because of what DeFosse describes as failure of express mail to reach Springfield before the deadline with his petition. As a result, he became one of five nominees at a Vacancy Nominating convention, where he was nominated unanimously on the second ballot. Crane and DeFosse will face each other in the fall election in the new 12th district. Robert McClory, who is now serving the 13th Congressional district in WashingU*i, till not be a candidate twill be Dan DeFosse of name was this year. The 19th district, which now includes some of the local area, will be far removed from McHenry voters. PLANT BREEDERS Most gardeners take it for granted that every year they'll find a " or mora good varieties of vegetables in sead displays, catalogs and assort­ ments of seedling plants. They have no idea how much of themselves plant breeders put into new vsrieties. These highly educated plant scien­ tists are not just working for a paycheck You have to drag it out of them, but each realises how important their work is to feeding all the people of the world. Plant breeders are more than technicians because their jobs are among the most creative of all scientific disciplines. Many are All- America Selections judges, and they evaluate new varieties for home garden value. They look for good flavor, resistsnce to many disesses and i n s e c t s , h e a v y production snd efficient plants. They know what they are doing, so when you see that All- America award symbol, you can be sure that variety is the best in its class.
