P»a« 6 McHENRY PLAINDEALER S»ctton A Wednesday, JulyQ7,1965 Community Ma Bell spends to modernize FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 18, 1935) Manager George L. Wilburn of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company announced that ap­ proval has been secured to spend $24,500 to cover rehabilitation and moder- . nization of the outside. of telephone plant serving McHenry and contiguous territory. The work will entail placing 820 poles, 240 anchors, 5,400 feet of aerial cable and 86 miles of new wire. Upon completion, McHenry will have a thoroughly modern and up-to- date telephone plant, adequate to meet all demands of the Bell System standards of service and to provide spare facilities for growth for several years, ac­ cording to Manager Wilburn. Many people in this vicinity stayed up past bedtime Monday night to view the total eclipse of the moon, which was a perfect show for this region with a cloudless sky and conditions ideal for making the spectacle easily seen. The moon, totally eclisped by the earth, shone copper-colored from refracted rays of the sun, was in total eclipse at 11:09 remaining so for one hour forty minutes, being clear at 2:35 a.m. The eclipse was the longest visible in mis country in 50 years and there will not be another of such length for another half century. Representative v William M. Carroll stated at a meeting of the Woodstock Lions Club that the recently passed legislation raising the sales tax from two to three cents was unnecessary. He said the increase was sought to finance unemployment relief in the state and that the point was made and not contradicted that the present system for the administration of relief in the state is inefficient, wasteful and extravagant and tends to discourage the initiative of the unemployed in the direction of again becoming self-supported. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 19, 1945) McHenry made Mr. Ripley's column several years ago and may do so again, for, believe it or not, one of our northern horses invaded the Blue Grass Med clinic planned for children McHenry County lealth' The Department of Health will hold a special clinic for children who are entering kindergarten this fall and are in need of the required physical examination ana immunizations.

Four sons, Russell, Lyle, Kenneth and Lloyd, have served. The first three served in various posts in the army and Lloyd, the youngest, chose the navy. Among the most convincing and practical reasons for at­ tending St. Peter's carnival next weekend is rationing. Aside from that all-important argument is one in a lighter vein, which says that we should all attend merely from the standpoint of having a good time.
