I don't know whether to fault the paint or the painters, but the house needs painting again. How often should a frame house require painting? Frame houses need repainting every four or five years. Determining factors are the quality of the paint used and the condition of the surface at the time of painting. Even the highest quality paints will not adhere properly to a deteriorized surface. Your problem may well be that the old surface provided a poor base for the new paint. • LET THE COLD TIMES COME: . .

"This article says that the State police on the Illinois tollways, during the first nine months of this year, have arrested 1,260 persons for driving under the influence. It is reasonable to assume that county, village and city police have arrested perhaps three to five times this number. "The McHenry Plaindealer, in a recent editorial, made much to do about the need to rid the roads and highways of these killers. r"While the*® arrest figures may . > someJ&aiftld be more revealing to learn how many of these were actually prosecuted for DWI and how many were pie- bargained to a lessor charge. In my opinion, there seems to be a trend to take the plea-bargained fine *nd run. This does not act as any deterrent to drunk driving and does a diservice to the police who are trying to save lives by getting these people off the roads. "The McHenry Plaindealer could continue its service to the community by assuming a "Watch-Dog" attitude toward DWI's and how they are prosecuted. "Regards, "William J. Fitzgerald "7517 Howe drive "Wonder Lake" (Editor's note: We agree with Mr. Fitzgerald. In fact, the following is a quote from a front page column in the Plaindealer issue of Oct. 29: ... "No laws will be effective without en­ forcement. Putting severe DWI penalties on the books isn't enough to deter the crime. Unless drivers believe there is a strong likelihood of arrest and conviction if they drive while drunk, the law becomes meaningless". Unfortunately, the staff of a newspaper the size of the Plaindealer is not able to follow each arrest through to its conclusion.) IcwftrwooJ FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 1, 1932) Walter G. French, known to numerous residents of McHenry and vicinity, reports that he has opened an Eon Riverside drive taking a >n of the office of Kent and .any, where he will engage in the general practice of law. Mr. French was admitted to practice law in Illinois in 1902 and for the past 30 years was located in Chicagp, with the exception of five years in Michigan, where he was with the Buick motor company at Flint in a legal capacity. The Plaindealer, always eager for any plan that will make it a better paper and help it advertise McHenry and surrounding farm community, has decided to conduct a big three weeks' drive for subscriptions. Now to make this drive a real community proposition and to make it a genuine profit sharing deal, the Plaindealer will give a large percentage of every dollar that comes into this office in subscriptions for the next three weeks to whatever church is designated by the subscriber. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 3, 1942) Three soldiers, all cousins, Sgt. Herman Steffes, Pvt. Theodore Pitzen and Pvt. Alfred Weingart, have the good fortunes to be located in the same camp, at Fort Bragg, N. Carolina. Relatives who recently visited them took a picture which the Plaindealer was glad to print. Robbers broke into Unti's Ice Cream parlor, operated by Gus Unti, gaining entrance through the front door. Besides greatly damaging the door, they made away with six rolls of fifty-cent pieces, eight rolls of dimes, six dollars in nickels, ten dollars in quarters, a carton of cigarettes and other merchandise. Total loss was estimated at between $175 and $200. Donald Meyer, who recently enlisted in the Navy, is now stationed in San Diego, Calif. Also located there is Richard Toleson. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 5, 1957) The first Sunday morning service of the newly formed Presbyterian congregation was held in the west barn at Eastwood Manor. Mem­ bership has increased to 26 families in this area over the five attending the first meeting. Stu Holcomb, director of athletics at Northwestern university, will speak at the annual Kiwanis football it at the high school. A trophy given to a member of the team by fellow players as most ce Casey, a mutmmW St. Rita's marching show band and brother, Robert Casey, of St. Leo's band, were among those participating in the annual Christmas State street parade. Following the parade, both bands appeared at Soldier's field to perform at the annual Chicago Catholic-public football game bet­ ween Mendel and Calumet. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December l, 1972) / A long illness ended in the death, Nov. 20, of Gerald J. Carey, president of the McHenry State bank. His death ended a banking career that started in 1917. A ten-month "experience" in in­ ternational relations without leaving town-that's what AFS International scholarships offer McHenry families. AFS chapter president, Mrs. Cy Broman, is searching for a family that will host an overseas student for the coming school year.
