"Most every county in Illinois i-r- forging ahead in its road building program and it is imperative that McHenry county not lag in the matter," Mr. Patrick told board members. Mr. Bell emphasized the necessity o® getting busy in road building before all the sixty million bond issue voted in 1918 is exhausted, saying McHenry county would be1 making a grave mistake not to take advantage rf the opportunity to improve her public highways. He spoke specifically in .support of route 19 and 23 which pass thru Harvard, Marengo and Woodstock, but said he is for a pro- ;rram that will prove better reads for * every part of McHenry county. Robt. Haeper, chairman of the board of supervisors, and Theo. Schmitt, president of the Elgin Motor club, were heard in strong pleas for state highways and for action in the' matter as quickly as possible. Mr. Schmitt asked for co-operation with Sane county in support of the styte highway 19 being built from Barfmgton through Algonquin to Crystal Lake instead of via Fox River Grove and Cary to Crystal Lake.

A gap of several miles in Boone county not now patrolled will be thus taken in and the Boone-McHenry county east and west in the Rush creek community will continue to be'patrolled.

It is a matter that is worthy of general thing. 'much thought and consideration be- • --• .fore an actual purchase is made and this, according to our own way of seeing things, is being followed out by the powers that be. The pumping unit makes the outfit serviceable anywhere. For instance, at a farm fire the hose could be dropped into a well or cistern or any body of water that happens to be in close proximity and by the use of the pumps the water could be played upon the burning structure just atf effectively as would be the caae righthere within the corporate limits. , ; Fire records also go to show that a large percentage of fires dre|ei*tinguished by the use of the chemical unit. "Ifhis means, however, that the departmentmust necessarily be at the scene of fire before the flames have gained much headway and, while this might bp accomplished occasionally on out-of-town calls, the chimces are that by the time the fire department reached a fire outside of the village the chemical unit would prove useless. We are told that another company will bring an outfit to McHenry some time this week for the purpose of having their equipment inspected. Residents living within a reasonable distance from McHenry and who would like to see the village purchase an equipment that would take care of out-of-town calls and who are willing to contribute towards the purchase of such should let themselves be known to the members of the board. This is a matter that should interest every home and shop pwner in the village as well as the farmers and summer resorters and should be given consideration by all. Co-operate with the members of. the board by telling them what kind of an outfit is desired. These gentlemen are always ready to listen to your suggestions.

The guests arrived at the Granger home before noon and at the dinner hour all sat down to an old fashioned chicken pie dinner. One of the real attractions of the table was a beautiful large wedding cake, presented to the couple by Mrs. Gilbert Burnett. It was trimmed in white with roses to represent the flower of youth and corn to represent the harvest of life. The afternoon and evening were passed at social conversation, during which many incident^ of the days that have passed by were gone over again. Both Mr. and Mrs. Granger have passed practically their entire lives in this section of^he country. Mr. Granger was born in I860 and his wife in 1849. They own and still continue to work the forty acre farm upon which, they reside ,and where they have lived for nearly a half tentury. Both are in the best of health and only ilk fall Mr. Granger, altho in his seventy-third, year, went out and helped the young fellows fill his silo. Mrs., Granger for many ytoars taught school at Griswold Lake, all of per four boys "having received their *arly education under her, a distinction which is vdfy rare indeed. Many others residing in and around McHenry still know and love her as their former teacher. Both Mr. and Mrs. Granger read and write without the aid of glasses and keep posted on all of the important news of the day thru daily publications which they read with as rtiuch interest as ever.' They are the parents of five children, aU of whom are living, but unfortunately only two of the children were able to be present at the golden anniversary, the three others residing too far away to allow them to enjoy the. day with their parents and friends. The children are: Charles O. Granger of Roosevelt, Ariz.; Guy L. Granger of Crystal Lake, D. I. Granger of this village, Norman H. Granger of Elcho, Wis., and Bethel Norton Dunn of Center, N. D. As mementoes. of the occasion the c?ouple were presented with many beautiful gifts, among which were included numerous carnations, crysanthemums, candies, gold ring^ from their children, gold watch chain and cameo pin, gold pencil, gold pen, gold lined silverware and a number of gold coins. That they may live to ertjoy many more years of good health and happiness is the sincere wish of their many friends and neighbors. -- , DOUBLE HEADER FRIDAT NIGHT Plrat Team to Meet Richmond While Midgets Tackle Alden I- >V< ".V '•V.'

The first game will be called at 7:80 so we advise fans to be on himd early. Pack the old gym for the boys to-' morrow night They are deserving of your support. Ask For Another Concert Since last week's concert the meatbers of the McHenry band have been in receipt of many requests for another entertainment op possibly two during the winter and spring months. While some of the members of the band have already been heard to express themselves as favoring at least another concert, it remains to be seen whether or not this is possible. In view of the fact that a number of the musicians reside in neighboring towns, it makes it rather inconvenient for them to get to McHenry for the rehearsals which are necessary in order to prepare a creditable program.
