Page 10 McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section A Wednesday, July 17, IMS Fond memories of ice cream If I hadn't read the paper, there is no way I would have known that last week was "Ice Cream Week". Of course, it brought back memories. Mention anything and it brings back memories to me. Lawn socials were big in earlier days. Tables were set up and a couple of men were designated as ice cream scoopers. Proceeds went to churches or some charitable group. I've told you how late George P. Freund and I were the scoopers at a social held on the lawn of East Campus for the benefit of McHenry Library. Those were days before tax money for the library. The McAllister Drug Store in Gagetown and Petesch's in Centerville, served ice cream in the summer months, then put the table away for the winter season. Charlie Unti opened an ice cream parlor where McHenry Drapery is now located. When he stayed open during the winter the natives thought he was off his rocker. Who would eat ice cream in the winter! Charlie showed 'em. He prospered and was a good man for the community. Vanilla and New York flavors were served. Never heard of So T Hear Earl Walsh those 30-odd flavors. There was a great mystery in advertising before the Eskimo Pie was finally unveiled. A generous amount of ice cream on a stick, covered with rich chocolate cost a whole dime. That was twice the cost of a cone, but worth the price if you could dig up a dime. More about ice cream. Looking through old files, I found a Plaindealer dated July 10, 1902. That's old! * In that old paper, I found this item, "Ice cream was served by the Willing Workers last Saturday evening at the time of the Swedish concert. The cream was delicious, some have said. It was made by N. H. Petesch. He certainly does make good ice cream. Those who contemplate giving parties call on him." That same old 1902 paper printed the minutes of President and Trustees monthly meeting of the Village of McHenry. They paid bills amounting to $288.28 for the month. Of that total, $50 was paid to my father for police service. (Quite a fancy salary for keeping the peace for a whole month.) Heard some comments on TV about obituaries being printed on the front page in years gone by. I remember. When Editor "Mose" was short on writers in the years "BB" (Before Brenda), he use to ask me to write a big spread when some prominent person died. He wanted those OB's a column long and a little on the flowery side. All-Star balloting is a joke. It is great to have the fans pick the players, but stuffing the ballot box should be a No-No. There must be a fairer way. The grapevine tells me tfiat Sib Whiting went to see that other team play baseball last week. Ken Diedrich never forgets us. He came a callin' with a delicious treat. Good friends are great. vegetables from "call me Rip". That was nice of him. I would still like to see a ball game played without signals. Batters let too many fast pitches go by and swing at the bad ones. There wouldn't be any take signs in my trial game. Glad to read about the City Council going to take measures to correct the traffic problem at the corner of Green and Elm. I have observed some sticky situations when southbound drivers ignored the right lane, right turn only sign and whipped through the intersection. Cousin Jim Walsh and his grandson, Patrick Spandauer came to our abode with pictures galore of Jim's trip to Ireland and Wales. -COUPON" $2.39 For 15 Donuts Hi;?a' flit** % .'Up,*:: Hit** if \ ' pel vIlNl.MIUf * Mli'l *•»!»!'.«»t fv v»»in!»ini J Willi .»!s\ »Mitt'f »•tli'i Limit 30 DONUTS Offer Good: NOW thru 7 24 85 4504 W.

In effort to feature a popular local group, Trilogy-a band with many styles and moods of music-will perform, August 1 soon after the close of 4-H Night festivities. Crowning the new 4- H King and Queen will climax the day's 4-H events. Three divisions of local talent competition on August 2 will find 24 acts competing for $950 in prize money. Winners in two classes advance to state com­ petition.
