PAGE 20 - PLAINPEALEH - WEDNESDAY. JULY 20,1983 LAKEMOOR-LILYMOOR AREA Margaret Karas 385-4934 * Seek Long-Time Area Resident Lily Lake Area day will be recognized Aug. 7 , at the McHenry County Historical Society in Union. Residents who have lived here and watched the changes in our com- roynity will be especially mentioned at the afternoon festivities on that Sunday. Persons now living in our area are invited to bring themselves and their memories to share with others at the Historical Society's twentieth Birthday celebration. How many of our people have seen changes? Myldred Rowe was a summer visitor in the 1920's before making her permanent home here. She recalls going fishing with her mother, who is now almost 103 years (rid, and catching over 190 perch in one day. Now that is a memory that will be difficult to top. Alyce Kowal has memories of the Seyfferth home with its many statues and by-gone stateliness-even to a swimming pool with flying horses. Vickie DeStefanis has the oldest recorded real estate office in McHenry county on her property in Lilymoor. Laurel Hertel donated a copy of. the original plans for the Lilymoor subdivision owned by S.P. Johnson, who envisioned an elegant summer resort area, complete with a three-hole golf course. One hole was west of Lily Lake road, the second east of Lily Lake road and the third north of Route 120, all at one time a playable course. Louise Hipwell has written a poem "Lily Lake Speaks" which will be featured. Background for this was supplied by Earl Walsh of S.I.H. Joe DeMarco's World War II designed "Cootie Bug" will be on display Joe will even give rides in his fun creation, that not only looks like a bug but acts like one, too. Wilfred Blake, who had farmed on the family property for many years and still lives south of Lily Lake, was asked to share his memories. His artistic wife Edith, now doing tole paintings commercially, will be showing some of her work at the new McHenry Nunda Library's showcase in the future. Eleanor Wagner Wirfs, whose parents farmed the property now known as Fritzsche Estates, has no . pictures or mementoes of that time. I can still remember some sage advice from her dad, "If the green beans come up before the middle of May, take a sledge and hammer them back into the ground." Who else has memories, pictures, mementoes or old equifilfieiPUHMifre with visitors at the McHenry County Historical Society's birthday Aug. 7? Donations to the society's collection of old records and mementoes will be gratefully accepted. Arrangements for showing items Aug. 7 can be made in advance with Nancy Fike or myself. Remember-our day at the Historical Society is a free one for us. Do make it a special day by visiting the headquarters in Union, and by sharing your past with others. LADIES LEAGUE The first meeting of the month for the LLLL found the ladies enjoying refreshments provided by hostess Helen Para. The results of the bunco games were a first prize for Jean Dember, second for Sophie Patterson, special for Ann Brzezinski and booby for Millie Nejedly. Missing from the evening festivity was Julia Kraus, due to medical problems. Julia was also absent for about a week from the Senior Citizen Meet and Eat Center where she is a volunteer receptionist, but she is now back doing her gracious thing, for which we are all thankful. NEW BUSINESS Sue Miller has started a business career by becoming owner of the resale shop on Riverside drive in McHenry. Sue, who had been a sub­ stitute teacher in the McHenry and Wauconda school districts, opted for a business experience this summer. She puts in long hours but enjoys doing her own thing , meeting so many in­ teresting people, and suppling a community need. It is good to see a young person take a chance in the business world, and then work long and consistently to make it a success. More power to you, Sue. BIRTHDAY TIME On July 20, Pearl Ann Zabroski, Mark Foss and Maureen Paroubek will all celebrate their birthdays. Angela Sexton recognizes her day July 21. July 22 is the birth date of Aria VanCleave, Art Huffman, Kristy Bierchen and Stephen Wright. On the 23rd, Virginia Eggert and Mike Sch­ midt will be remembered. Nathan Lubke of Lakemoor will have his eighty-first birthday July 24. He has had a few hospital stays this past year, but is feeling much better now. We are thankful that he is still watching and listening for the birds, and able to enjoy his garden and smell the flowers. His daughter is planning a small birthday party which will include her sister from Pennsylvania who will be visiting her father at that time. Rick Foss, also of Lakemoor, will Chambers, out of hei; teens; Laurel Hertel, who is busy with her new responsibilites with the Women of the Moose; and my husband Bruno, who is thankful that he is able to celebrate another year.

Miller, has an­ nounced the latest figures which in­ dicate that during the month of June, 1983, 119 persons died from injuries sustained from traffic accidents on Illinois streets and highways. State police, District 2, which covers Lake, McHenry, DeKalb, Kane and DuPage counties, reports 91 persons have been killed in these counties since Jan. 1 of this year. Ninety-eight persons were killed during the same period last year in these counties. A breakdown of the counties for statistics in June of 1983 shows Lake county had 2 fatalities; McHenry had 6; DuPage county had 4; Kane county had 3 and DeKalb county had none. As a comparison for June of 1982, McHenry county had no fatalities. Museum Listings .

The life insurance policy you already own is valuable protection. Of course, this does not mean that you should defer buying additional life insurance to meet increased needs and responsibilities. However, it does mean that you should use care in deciding whether to replace an in-force policy with new insurance. There are a number of reasons why care should be exercised before dropping an in-force policy for a new one. It's in your best interest to give careful consideration to each and every factor involved before deciding to replace in-force life insurance. Further, you should be aware that as in all other businesses and professions, unethical practices can sometimes exist in the life insurance business. It is regrettable--but nevertheless true--that there are a few who refuse to observe the norm of high ethical standards. State insurance departments. Better Business Bureaus, and life underwriter associations (whose members are career salespersons of life and health insurance and other financial services), offer this advice: BE SORE anyone who urges you to replace an in-force policy allows you time to investigate every representation carefully. BE SCIRE you talk with a representative of the company which issued you the policy you] are being asked to replace. ' FOR YOUR PROTECTION if you are asked to surrender or otherwise lessen the value of a life insurance policy you now own and replace it with other insurance, it is wise to insist that the individual making the proposal put it in writing. Then submit the proposal to your own agent or the company which issued your in-force policy prior to replacing your present policy. Go slow. Seek counsel. Take time to investigate. In short, get all pertinent information before replacing the policy you already own! A Message in the Public Interest Jrom the . McHenry County Association of Life Underwriters affiliated with The National Association of Life Underwriters (NALCJ) OBBBO P. C7, iXJLCS OoCcL FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 13,1933) The greatest attraction to visitors in this vicinity at this time of year is the renowned lotus blossoms which have brought fame and fortune to Grass Lake and surrounding territory in­ cluding McHenry and the Fox river. According to Everett Hunter of the Everett Hunter Boat company, the large beds are already beginning to burst open and the beds are larger and the blossoms better than ever. McHenry, the gateway city, will be widely advertised during the next four months by means of 50,000 folders which are being put out by the McHenry Civic club. These folders are the product of the presses of the McHenry Plaindealer and will be placed in hotels, restaurants and other public places throughout Chicago and the Century of Progress and will guide tired world's fair visitors to a place of rest and quiet among the trees, and along the shores of the placid Fox river or on the banks of one of the beautiful lakes in this region. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 15, 1943) McHenry now boasts more than 300 young men on active duty with the Army, Navy and Marines. It also has two WAACS and two Army nurses. Today, however, we are proud to announce the city's first WAVE. She is Miss Margaret Irene Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Johnson of West McHenry, who was recently sworn into the enlisted branch of the WAVE'S. She has reported to the VAVE's school at Hunter college, New York City, N.Y. The McCullom Lake Community club has erected a permanent memorial to the boys and girls of the McCullom Lake subdivision who have answered the call to the colors. It is surprising to note there are over 70 already serving. Their names are already on the beautiful plaque designed and erected by Heinrich and Herman Jahnke. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 17,1958) Postmaster Hay McGee said he expects plenty of stamps and postal cards to be on hand for sale Aug. 1 to meet new postage rates which become effective then. The Post Office department has been issuing new stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards to post offices for several weeks in anticipation of the new rate changes. On a ledge near the once beautiful mail box of the Frank Schafers near Johnsburg is this plaintive plea contained on a small sign held by a miniature driver of a horseless carriage: "Please help me find my horses." The sign has been in the hands of the "driver" for some time, evidently to no avail. One of the important parts of Fiesta day, July 20, will be the Kiwanis club sponsored Pancake day at the Legion home at 209 South Green street, McHenry. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 20,1973) Late one afternoon, 9-year-old Carla Muse was swimming near a pier in front of a neighbor's house on River Terrace drive, near Johnsburg. In­ dulging in a favorite pastime of diving, she came up with a ring which her sister later put on her finger in the belief that is was a trinket. When her mother saw it she discovered it was an engagement ring lost by her close friend, 13 years ago. The Cityx Council passed an ap­ propriation ordinance for the 1973-74 fiscal year in the amount of $2,572,775. This is an increase of $525,675 over last year's appropriation plan for 240 acres of land located west of Route 31, east of the railroad tracks and north of Idyll Dell road. The preliminary plat from Mid State Development cor­ poration is known as the McDonald property. Aluminum Price Increase May Increase Recycling The McHenry County Defenders announced that prices paid for aluminum cans at their recycling sites throughout the county will rise due to an increasing demand for used beverage containers. The Defenders, a conservation organization, purchase aluminum from the public at five sites in Crystal Lake, Woodstock, McHenry, and Lake in the Hills. The cans then are resold to scrap processors and aluminum companies that produce sheet aluminum for the manufacture of new cans. Alice Howenstine, head of the Defenders' recycling operations, stated, "We're very pleased to see prices increase. This means that we'll be able to pay the public another penny per pound. While this might not seem like much, it represents a 4V& percent increase.This will provide an incentive for more people to recycle. CRAFT SHOW * . Flowerwood will hold its sixth annual Arts and Crafts Festival Saturday and Sunday, July 23 and 24, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. Festival promoter Joyce Ayers said that expected are at least 60 specially- selected artists and craftsmen who will exhibit all new and unusual handicrafted items. Flowerwood is located at the corner of U.S. 14 and Route 176, Crystal Lake. Building Permits The City of McHenry has issued the following building permits in the month of June, 1983.

By recycling, we can reduce the need for landfills. Said Greg Lindsey, Defenders' director, "Despite the poor economy, the market for UBC-used beverage containers-is improving. This is because of the increased demand for beverages during the summer. Prices we receive are dictated by the "tolling" price, which is a credit on the purchase of sheet aluminum given by sheet aluminum manufacturers to can manufacturers. Can manufac­ turers are the largest recyclers of used beverage containers as well as the largest consumers of sheet aluminum. The credit, or "toll" for new aluminum is equal to the value of the aluminum provided for recycling. Because the toll has increased, the amount we receive also has in­ creased. We're hopeful that the market will remain strong throughout the remainder of 1983." With the price increase the Defenders will be paying 24 cents per pound for flattened cans free of contaminants. Persons who recycle more than 100 pounds of flattened cans will receive 26 cents. One cent per pound will be deducted if cans are uncrushed. For dates and time of Defenders recycling drives, contact 815-455-1321. * 4. SERVICE * NCWS * * * * * * Completes Training Marine Pvt. Michael P. Pierce, son of Charles and Mary Pierce of 1711 N.
