rs innwimnmri WLC£L <DM FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 20, 1933). An organizational meeting of the new civic club will be held in the McHenry Community high school at which time permanent officers will be chosen and a name given for the club and by-laws adopted. Temporary officers were elected, with William Althoff as president and Elmer Freund, secretary. The by-laws committee consisted of A. H. Mosher, Jos. W. Freund, W. G. French and R. I. Overton. Sixty-four citizens of McHenry expressed their desires to form the club. The Easter breakfast given by the parsonage Sunday morning was well attended by the nearly 50 members of theTriple-F class and the senior boys' class of the M. E. Sunday school. The Sunday school board and members of their families were also guests. Following the breakfast, a devotional service appropriate for Easter was held by the young people. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 29, 1943). Attracting more attention in the Easter parade other than mi-lady's spring finery was the uniform of a Naval officer. Owner of the uniform was Lt. (s.g.) Howard Phalin, who was visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Phalin, in McHenry, and his wife in Wilmette before being transferred from Quonset Point, R.I., to Corpus Christie, Texas. Real estate and personal tax statements in the amount of $1,377,795.10 were placed in the mails by County Treasurer J. G. Stevens. These tax statements' went to tax­ payers in McHenry coun(y. Local folks were interested in seeing a picture of Lt. Eleanor Althoff in the April issue of Life magazine. The picture showed three Army nurses sitting on their suitcases in the Pennsylvania Terminal in New York, shortly after their arrival. Although names were underneath the pictures, friends of Eleanor had no trouble identifying her. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO * (Taken from the files of April 10, 1958). McHenry county's election en­ thusiasm was high when 15,250 voters in the county went to the polls to cast votes for their choice. The closest race of all was between Don A. Wicks and James H. Cooney for county judge, with Cooney merging victor by only 245 votes. In other contests, Vernon Kays handily won over Marll Collier and Melvin Grieble was chosen sheriff. Unsung heroes of the week: The men and women who take the extra time at the end of a long, hard election day to phone in results to the I'lain- dealer so that its readers will have complete returns as soon as possible. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 20, 1973). A late evening count of votes and a lopsided 598 to 74 in Ward 4 threw McHenry's mayoral election to Joseph S. Stanek. The results meant defeat for Donald P. Doherty, who has headed the city government for the past 12 years. Theodore Pitzen, alderman in the city's first ward for 16 years, was crushed beneath the onslaught of a newcomer to local politics. Jack Pepping received 490 votes to 245 for Pitzen. In Ward 3, another newcomer, James Wegener, denied Raymond Smith another term, as alderman. In Ward 4, Frank Hromec was elected. There is no place quite like a newspaper office on election night. The excitement rivals campaign headquarters and polling locations as the last votes come in. The Plain- dealer office received about 250 calls. I'l AIMHM.I It • I' ItlDA Y. Al'lt II. 21, l!»H ! Accept Applications For Asthmatic Children's Camp The American Lung association of DuPage and McHenry counties is now accepting applications for their sixth annual summer camp for asthmatic children during the week of July 24 through 31. Over 100 asthmatics from across the state will be attending "Camp Superkids" in the Peoria area. The purpose of the camp is to provide a camping experience for children with asthma, who, because of their illness, might otherwise be deprived of such an experience. Every effort is made to make the camp, within the limitations of each child, as normal a summer camp as possible. Camp activities include swimming, arts and crafts, canoeing, baseball, hiking, volleyball, and campfires. To provide the constant attention required by these children, the camp is staffed with two medical doctors, 15 registered nurses, two respiratory therapists and some 25 therapv students and Lung association staff members 24 hours a day. A fully equipped infirmary and pharmacy are provided. Camp Superkids provides a lear­ ning and sharing experience. By spending a week with others of the same age who suffertfrom asthma the children learn more about their disease and how to cope with it. For more information contact Harold Wimmer, executive director, at the American Lung association of DuPage and McHenry Counties at 815- 338-6675. BARK HAS MANY USES Bark, available in a wide variety of sizes, textures and colors, works well in and around every garden. Generally packaged in three-cubic foot bags weighing 40-50 pounds, bark is available at most nurseries, garden centers, hardware and chain stores. And it's one of the most cost- effective gardening materials available. As a mulch, it is easy to apply and requires no special tools. Four to five inches of bark mulch will stop weeds from growing and will help the soil retain needed moisture. Nuggets or mini- nuggets are ideal for decorative landscape needs. Standard bark mulch works for most mulching jobs and should be used as a base for bark nuggets. Fine particle bark (one- quarter inch or less in size) is an excellent soil conditioner. Although most bark is used in the spring, it can be applied anytime during the year. In the summer, dress up planting beds, borders adn pathways with a fresh, two-inch application of bark. It's a good idea to mulch flowering annuals and vegetables as well. In the fall after the hasafrozen, new plantihgs can bfe protected by a layer of bark mulch. This guards against heaving and retards early blooming prior to late winter freezes. And, of course, in the spring newly planted trees and shrubs should be mulched. Most soils need organic backfill. Bark fills the bill here, too. It is easy to mix a shovel full of fine bark to every three to four shovels full of soil when planting. Before digging the hole, spread a plastic garbage bag, burlap sack or other base on which to dump the soil from the hole. Then add the bark to the hole and mix as the soil is back­ filled around the plant. A one-to-three or one- to-four ratio of bark to soil should be sufficient for average soils. Heavy clay or very sandy soils may need more bark.
