This sort of realization can be con­ fusing, leaving you to wonder, "What's become of me?" I waxed my car. That's lite Ronald McDonald becoming a vegetarian or Larry Bird renouncing basketball for sumo wrestling. I don't know what's become of me. Hie love affair with the automobile zoomed right by me. I have no facination whatsoever for cars. I don't care to look at them, nor do I care to look under them. Just as long as it goes forward and backward and doesn't make any clunking noises, I'm happy. And it's nice if the radio works, which I think is the most important feature of any vehicle. seat Often looks Mfc* its Cars are * Page 10 - PLAINDEALER-IIERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 28,1985 Dick Peterson Merchants seek first baby FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 27, 1935) Who will be the first baby born in July? A group of McHenry merchants are going to present gifts to the first arrival. The new resident will receive a baby record book, drug needs, baby's first photo, beer for Mother and Dad, free cleaning of a dress or suit, a shampoo and wave for mother, a baby bonnet, and free dinners for the parents. Also a fresh spring chicken, a cake, 10 days of pasturized milk, ad­ mission tickets for the parents to the movie theatre, a tie for dad, a lawn chair, a high chair pad, a ride for the parents in a new Chevrolet and five gallons of gas or a grease job for their present car, the McHennr Plaindealer and number of gift certificates. Elaine Feicht, 11-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur J. Feicht, who have a summer home at Schaefer's Grove, is starting her vacation under the handicap of two broken arms. The accident happened when the girl fell from a trapeze near her Chicago home. Both arms, from fingers to the elbow, are in casts and it willprobably be about five weeks before the casts can be removed. One of the largest Sunday morning crowds in four vears played the 18 holes of the McHenry Country Club Sunday despite the threatening skies that omened more of that seemingly ever-present rain. It was a very gratifying sight to the officers and members of the club who have fought through the past hard vears to keep the course in good condition so the club would stay a profitable venture. Henry Vogel emerged the winner on the last of the 36 hole final matches, Dar Granger returned to old time form to win over Art Feicht. Donald Granger made it a sweep for the Granger family by eliminating J. Sayler, the president, in a tough match that ended on the last green. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 28, 1945) A merry-go-round, ferris wheel and tilt-a-whirl will top the offerings at the American Legion Victory Carnival June 30 through July 4 at the Legion grounds on the river. The location is handy to shoppers and to those who will attend from any side of the city. The various prize booths will draw crowds especially the stand in which two 200 pound hogs will be located. wice Told Tales George Brda, somewhere in Guam, wrote that he was at the naval ammunition depot where his work is consisted mainly of making survelflame test on powder. "Utmost care and precaution must be taken at all times. The reason shouldn't be hard to explain to anybody." H.R. Parth wrote from Hawthorne, Nevada where he had been made a mess cook. Two McHenry men were among those graduating recently from intensive courses of service schools training at the U.S. Naval Training Center at Great Lakes. Robert A. Justen, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. G.R. Justen and Robert P. Blake,18, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.F. Blake completed courses in basic engineering. In another one of those wild- scoring games, Johnsburg's ball club trimmed Hebron 19 to 9 last Sunday. Manager Joe Frett took the opportunity to use some of his bencn-warming brigade in action, using 13 players throughout the contest. TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 23. 1960) McHenry area residents are glowing with pride this week after having one of their young beauties named Miss Illinois. She is Miss Pat Thompson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Thompson, who reside just this side of Rt. 12. The 21-year-old, brown haired, blue- eyed young miss won the title in a field of 10 finalists when she was judged between games of a double header Sunday at Comisky Park. In Little League news, Lenny Blake's minor league Owls took over 1st place with a 3-9 record by defeating the Eagles 12-7 and the Orioles 10-5. In the major league, the highlight of the week was the3 hit shut out pitching of Ron Parks as the owls beat the Orioles 6-0. Vern Peterson pitched the McHenry Blackhawks to a six to one victory over the defending champions, Highland Park, with a beautiful seven inning per­ formance, giving up only three hits and one run. The Adams and Sells Circus was scheduled for a one day only performance July 11. "Bertha" the world's foremost performing elephant was a feature of the show The benefit performance was sponsored by the swimming pool committee. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 27,1975) A big smile, a pretty face and personality plus has brought success to six-year-old Amy Lynn Ziebel. The poised little girl, daughter of Marty and Lynda Ziebel, McHenry, cap­ tured the hearts of three judges Tuesday to be named the new Kiwanis club Little Miss Peanut. First runner-up was Wendy Jo Cavanaugh and second runner- up, Nicole S. D'Isa. Summer School 1975 has been reaching record proportions. That was the word from School District 15 when the board learned in meeting last week 1 that total enrollment was about 1,100. Harrision School district, Wonder Lake, has* announced the appointment of Dr. Ray Jones as superintendent. Physicians from all areas of McHenry County attended the recent Clinic Day on Law and Medicine presented by McHenry Hospital under the chair­ manship of Dr. Robert J. Stein, directory of laboratory medicine. A Demolition Derby and auto thrill show will be among the additions to the McHenry County Fair July 30- Aug. 3, according to plans disclosed by the fair board. The McHenry County Senior Citizen's Council has been awarded a Title III grant which will allow the group to establish an office for information and referral for seniors. Blood drive July 3 July 4 is a day we celebrate the independence of our country. What better way to say that we really care about the people around us than to give blood for those who need it. Northern Illinois Medical Center (NIMC) and the Aurora Area Blood Bank will sponsor a blood drive in the Medical Center on July 3 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Donated blood is used to save the lives of accident victims, for those with leukemia, for those having surgery, for hemophiliacs, for people on dialysis, for children who have taken poison, for burn victims and for many new mothers. Donated blood is used to give some new babies a complete change of blood supply and may be used for cancer patients or those with hepatitis. Wherever it is used, blood offers a healthy chance to share good fortune with the less fortunate. For an appointment or for more information, call Kathryn Connolly in the home health care department at NIMC, 344-5000 ext. 3910. The next step is to make that drive to the medical center.

Crystal Lake Rd., McHenry (815)385-0420 MSA But the new mandatory seat belt law has given a win for the government. This doesn't mean it was without a fight. For whatever good it did, the "individual rights" groups have fought this, some of them with vigor. One particular individual, whose business is nuts and bolts, has made a widespread appeal, via newspapers, to win sup­ port for opposition to the belts. We're inclined to agree with this one. Unlike enforcement of a no-driving-while-drinking cam­ paign, wearing seat belts seems to be a safety practice which affects ony the individual who wears, or fails to wear (me. A.W, ROBERTSON, the man of nuts and bolts, says with emphasis, "I don't like it! When I use a seat belt I feel like I am in a straight jacket." Score one for him. And we agree with his argument that wearing a seat belt all the time "will take the pleasure out of owning and driving a car - one of America's greatest treasures." Mr. Nuts and Bolts has a lot more to say about the man­ datory seat belts: some get claustrophobia; they're a nuisance for those who must ride all day; and they're an "ordeal" for those with arthritis or other painful ailments. HE MAY BE RIGHT. However, we have an aversion to the Nuts a and Bolts guy saying this is "the greatest intrusion of our civil rights in this century." We're a little tired of hearing the most blessed among us complain about violation of civil rights. Too often giving them their rights would be to take away the rights of someone else. But we do agree with Nuts and Bolts' contention that they're handing us a Dne when they claim people who don't wear seat belts are a threat to others on the highway. He's right - the direction and momentum of a vehicle are threats to others, not whether a driver has a seat belt on. WE'VE BEEN TOLD these contraptions save lives. Hiis seems to be a fact and we'd like to see every driver make up his own mind and live with the consequences. Seatfoelts, no way THE RIGHT OF E ACH of us as an individual is one that has become increasingly maintained with vehemence in recent years. Unfortunately, it has resulted in confusion over a privelege properly enjoyed and one that must be denied because it infringes upon another's right. Turmoil is a consequence. s But apart from those who would claim something to which they are not really entitled, there is an even larger segment of humans who resist the imposition of restrictions deemed to be in the public good by governments or other influential groups. Sometimes the ruling forces win; sometimes it's the public. Take metrics for example. AMERICANS AND AMEROCAN BUSINESSES have been pressured in recent years to change to the metric system of weights and measures. A start was even made, although only modestly and mostly through encouragement and recom­ mendation, but in some cases by legal requirement. The change has met more resistance than expected. Although the target date to complete the alteration long ago passed, we are still dealing in feet and inches,, pounds and quarts and gallons. We'll probably continue to do so well into the future. Canada has given word that its decision is to scrap laws requiring the change simply because too many Canadians don't w want it. THE FACT THAT OUR own country is slow to seek en­ forcement indicates the people may have won this one, at least for the present.
