According to reports in the Chicago papers last fall, it was said that Mr. Skidmore paid $14,600 for the summer home which fronts on the Bay not far from his farm. This is in addition to 482 acres of land, of which 260 acres com­ prised the Sayer farms. wice The uncertainty of life and the changes wrought in one fleeting moment was illustrated in the fatal accident, which happened Sunday afternoon when Joe Barbian received a fractured neck in a dive while swimming at Griswold Lake, dying early Tuesday morning as a result of the injury.

The McHenry Blackhawks, newly-formed pony graduate league, managed by "Pete" DeCicco, opened its season by defeating a good Glenview team, 13-8 at the city ball diamond.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 12, 1974) Principals Gary Fields and Robert Swartzloff, of East and West schools, respectively, as well as other staff members gave the annual report for the two local high school campuses before the school board. Mary Ann Hauge, dean of girls, and Vera Peterson, dean boys at East, agreed that about 50 percent of the problem is smoking. Ms. Hauge referred especially to the rough language used in the school.
