Launch program of work for unemployed men SI :<T!ON 2 • PAGE 3 - Pl.AINDEAI.ER - F*"OAY, DECEMBER t, 1M3 50 YEARS AQO (Taken ffom the files of November 30,1933) ' Relief work for the coming winter seems to be the predominating ' subject in McHenry this week with organizations, as well as in­ dividuals, interested in the new program for giving work to unemployed men which is being launched by the government. At a meeting of business men and representatives from various organizations of our city held in Legion hall, it was decided to form a local relief association in which the various charitable societies of the city would combine under one head. TWICE TOLD TALES Edited from our files of years gone by Possessors of articles of gold and silver that they no longer care to retain will find it possible to sell them for cash to the American Scale Works of Waukegan at Justen's hotel in McHenry afternoon and evening, Dec. 2. A represen­ tative of the company was in McHenry to make arrangements for the sale. 4Cf YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 9, 1943). This week there is a warning to dog dwners that if their pets are not kept from roaming the streets they will be shot. This warning is made not only to keep an ever growing number of stray dogs from becoming a nuisance, but also as the only humane treatment of the dog. Winter is again coming on and it is almost inconceivable to think that anyone would let any animal, especially a family pet, wander the streets in freezing temperatures. The dog is often cited as man's best friend. Die: following selectees were chosen by Board One to fill the second December quota: From McHenry, David Walkington, Merwin Schoenholtz, Thomas Dalziel, Bernard Peschke, Robert Freund, Victor Oren • Hunt, Kenneth Ristau, Arthur McVicker, Elmer Freund and Charles Smith. 25 YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 11, 1958). McHenry is more than a little proud of another young resident of the community who has gained national recognition, this time in the 4-H field. Miss Karen Schmelzer of Rt. 4, McHenry, was named a national winner in the 4-H beautlflcatton of home grounds program at the 37th national 4-H Club Congress held in Chicago. Karen's project included a planned landscaping program for her parents' farm. The young lady it • 1986 graduate of the McHenry high school and has been secretary to the farm adviser and assistant farm adviser in the Farm Bureau office. John J. Bolger, son of Mrs. John A> Bolger, McHenry, graduated from recruit training at the Naval Training Center, Great Lakes. The graduation exercises, marking the end of nine week of "boot camp", in­ cluded a full dress parade and review before military officials and civilian dignitaries. 10 YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 12, 1973). A McHenry High School graduate very nearly became mayor of South Windsor, Conn., a community of 16,000, after she recently topped a field of 12 candidates in number of votes cast. The attractive young woman is Sandra (Jones) Bender, who resides with her husband at 96 Greenfield drive in that city. Circumstances surrounding her decision to decline, and the Democrats' choice of the second highest vote getter for the job of mayor, really set things humming. Soon the story was picked up by the New Haven television station because women's rights groups felt she had been bypassed for the reason that she was a woman. Mrs. Bender honestly did not want to be the mayor despite what many persons believed.
