Matthew Lavin, Dennis Linn, Jr., McHenry County Plugs In (The following is an article written by Susan Maris, a student at Harrison Elementary school, Wonder Lake. It appears in the May issue of Illinois History magazine, a publication for teenagers sponsored by the Illinois State Historical society.) "At the turn of the Century, electricity came into common use in McHenry county, The production, installation, and maintenance of electric power in McHenry county was first started by foutJtfcCuBom brothers of Woostock. They built a frame structure, setup a steam-run dynamo, and in 1894 began to generate electricity tor select residences on the early circuit hook-up. "Two of the McCullom brothers left the company in 1899, and M.L. Joslyn of Woodstock joined the business. Joslyn and E.E. McCullom then moved part of the firm to Wisconsin in an attempt at profitable expansion. To further service McHenry county, E.G. McCullom reorganized the generating plant into the Union Light and Phone company on Oct. 3,1902. As the demand for electrical power grew, so did the number of generating plants. "Another system, which began in McHenry county and eventually became a part of Commonwealth Edison, was the McHenry Light, Heat and Power company. In November, 1904, it was issued a charter to "generate, distribute and sell electricity and gas for lighting, heating, power and chemical purposes; to repair and manufacture machinery; make, distribute and sell ice; to develop water power and to do a general milling business." The directors changed the name of the corporation to the McHenry Electrice Service company, and in 1912 it was incorporated, forming Illinois Northern Power. "During the Great Depression small utilities were selling for almost nothing. Commonwealth Edison bought Illinois Northern Power in 1931, along with many others. This move was the death of the small, privately-owned utilities and the beginning of the modern corporate utility conglomerates. "As Illinois was growing and as McHenry county became more suburbanized, the demand for electric power grew. One huge step in bringing power to hundreds of homes was President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal rural electrification program in the 1930's. Poles and power lines went up all over the: rural areas ; of Illinois. Localities like Harvard, Richmond, and Hebron had the convenience of electricity which once belonged only to towns like Woodstock which possessed their own generating stations. "The early pioneering spirit of the McCullom brothers and the multiplication of the small, privately-owned power companies brought electricity to McHenry county. However, it was the growth provided by Northern Illinois Power and Commonwealth Edison that turned electricity into a household utility that has become indispensableto the people of Illinois."

First mosquito: "Why arc you so happy?" Second mosquito: "I just passed the screen test." Keepin' Healthy by Mary Richards We've all seen them- in the back pages , of magazines-waiting to lure the desperate, the gullible, the foolish. They promise wonderful results "while you sleep" or "instantly" or in "three days." They come complete with testimonials from satisfied users with names like "Miss M.H." or "Mr. J.S., .or even more convincingly, "Case History LH-7." What are they? "They" are those mail­ order health products advertisements found almost everywhere, and which contain claims that are either m i s l e a d i n g o r downright ' false. Selling health products through mail order has become a big business-- about 150 million dollars a year-because the public believes all the fantastic claims. These products promise things like effortless weight loss, wrink'e removal, an end to baldness, and larger breasts. They have all been proven as fraudulent. The American Council on Science and Health recently released a report , on an in­ vestigation t hey con­ ducted of some of the products they suspected were frauds. The council selected a variety of items ad­ vertised in magazines and ordered them. The items ranged from a $4.98 lotion to remove stretch marks to a $20.95 book detailing a method to increase your height by two-to-four inches in 10 weeks or less. One of the first things they found out is that the companies which sell these products cash your check very quickly. Thirteen of the 14 checks,they sent were cashed within two weeks, but not all the products were received as late as three months after the checks were cashed. The products ordered included five products intended to increase breast size, four weight- reducing methods, three creams to remove or lighten stretch marks or other discolorations, one book offering a remedy for baldness, another book entitled, The Height Increase Method, and a lotion claiming to stop hair growth. The council's con­ clusion, after receiving and analyzing these products, was that all the ads - were misleading, and not one of the products could live up to its claims.
