Forty couples attended the opening dance at Buch's hall last Saturday evening. The Imperial orchestra furnished the music and the crowd present was well pleased with the treatment received. Mrs. George Rosenberger, an old respected citizen of this village. passed away at her home on Elm street early Wednesday morning of this Week following an illness of long duration. Henry Wagner, who carries the mail between the depot and the McHenry postoffice, was quite seriously injured on Thursday afternoon last. Mr. Wagner was approaching the depot platform with the mail for the afternoon Chicago train. In driving his rig up to the platform he made too sharp* a turn with the result that the buggy was upset. Miss Esther Sattem and Roy Hobart met with quite a serious accident last Sunday evening when they were thrown from a buggy and quite severly injured. ILLINOIS RANKED SECOND IN MEAT PRODUCTION IN '51 #6 Need To Worry Aboil Jire Pressures In Summer f Motorists who attempt to cor- *te tire pressure with atmos- •ic conditions are wasting eir time according to the Chi- Motor club. Many motorists on long drives when hot , SUm m e r pavements increases gre pressures above the recommended pressure of the tire. ^ Jack Struben, manager of the Motor club's emergency Ibad service department, advises titorists to inflate tires to their rrect pressure in the cool of Morning before they are traveled fr. Then, during the drive, leave oie tires alone even if pressures . Tires are built with sufficat margins to allow for this thermal expansion, he said, and fcotorists have no cause to worry. Zhe tires will return to the orig- ^bal pressure once tfcey are p?rptted to cool. The importance of adopting right attitudes toward farm safety in all phases of farm life, as emphasized in President Truman's proclamation of the ninth annual National Farm Safety Week, has been endorsed as the theme of the 1952 observance, July 20-26, by farm leaders throughout the nation. Comments follow: Charles F. Brannan, Secretary of Agriculture: "It is ironic that man should invent machinery to liberate himself and then get caught in the gears. This means that our attitude toward farm safety has not kept pace with our ability to design machines . . . I urge all farm residents to observe National Farm Safety Week by resolving now to adopt right attitudes toward safety." Senator Harold J. Thye, member of the Senate Agricultural committee: "Unsafe attitudes are really bad economics arising from faulty thinking ... A farm resident may try to economize on safety and lose time, money and health. Safetymindedness is not only good economics, but it's humanitarian." Representative Harold D. Cooley, chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture: "Forty years ago, industry launched a safety program that has saved hundreds of thousands of lives. The same principles can reduce the farm toll. I urge all farm residents to adopt right attitudes . and to let those attitudes make your farms accident-free." James G. Patton, president, Farmers Union: "The aims of National Farm Safety Week this year are of high importance, namely, to think safety and act safely. Farm organizations will actively support these alms but it is the farm residents, themselves, who must adopt right attitudes toward farm safety." Allan B. Kline, president, American Farm Bureau Federation: "Fartn safety is always important. Now, when farmers are called ufoon~to maintain and increase production with the most economical use of equipment and labor possible, it is more vital than ever that we avoid waste of human and material resources through fires and accidents." ' Herschel D. Newsom, master, National Grange: "In the face of terrific loss of time, property and life from farm accidents, we simply must concern ourselves more earnestly with elimination of the causes of those accidents. Observing Farm Safety Week can pay real dividends in each community." Club Makes Discovery Concerning Robberies Police, working on the latest burglary racket, have discovered that house keys attached to the ring with automobile ignition keys lead to robberies, the Chicago Motor dub has reported. Thieves, who have little trouble in gaining access to parking lots and public garages, find it easy to take wax impressions of house keys left in the ignition lock on the same ring with car keys. They make duplicate house keys, trace the home address through car license plates, and calmly await the opportunity to plunder the homes of motorists. Dead Letter Office The dead letter office is one of the liveliest departments of the post office. It handles in excess of eighteen million letters, undeliverable because of lack of return address or illegible handwriting, a year. Annual sales are held for unclaimed parcels. REPORT OF CONDITION OF McHENRY STATE BANK of McHenry, Illinois, a member of the Federal Reserve System, at the close of business on June 30th, 1952, published in accordance with a call made by the Federal Reserve bank of this district pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act. WItfceet Permlasiae •arm Utrecht. The Netherlands, Paul ^erra got s $1.60 fin* or a day in vj*il for living with his wife at her ^father's house without prior appro*- Ipl of the local housing authority. Illinois ranked second among the forty-eight states in meat production last year, and was also second in cash sales of meat animals, according to a statement just issued by the National Live Stock and Meat board. As regards the output of the various meats, statistics show that Illinois was second in production of pork and fifth in beef production. The cash sales of cattle, hogs and sheep in Illinois last year aggregated $939,227,- 000--or an average of 2 million, 572 thousand dollars daily. Meat animal sales represented 46 per cent of the states total farm income. Hogs exceeded cattle slightly as a source of meat animal income in 1951 the Board reports, with spies totalling $472,311,000. Meat animal sales for the United States totalled 11.3 billion dollars in 1951, the Board reports, or about 34 per certt of the total farm income. Meat production for the nation is expected to reach 22% billion pounds this year, or about 600 million pounds more than in 1951. The 1952 per capita meat consumption is forecast at 140 pounds ASSETS 1. Cash, balances with other banks, including reserve balance, and cash items in process of collection .. $1,707,125.96 t.

A. NYE • Directors.™ » Robert McConnell Heads New Board The newly elected county board r of school trustees was convened July 7 at 7:30 o'clock at the office of the county superintendent of schools by the exofficio secretary of the board, R. L. Tazewell. Robert McConnell of Woodstock was unanimously elected president of the group. Upon election as president, Mr. McConnell preceded to the second order of business--the determining by lot the length of the term of each member so that two shall serve for a term of two years, two for four years and three fornix years from July 1 following the date of their election. The respective terms are as follows: Mrs. Helen T. Lowell, Nunda Township, McHenry, 2 years; Paul E. • Bartram, Algonquin tdWnship, Crysstal Lake, 2 years; Benjamin T. Winn, Richmond township, 4 years; Henry Marlowe, Grafton township, Huntley, 6 years; Harold J. Feiertag, Marengo township, 6 years; James Fyfe, Hartland township, R.F.D. Woodstock, 6 years; Robert M. McConnell, Dorr township, Woodstock, 4 years. The county boardf of school trustees was created by the last 67th legislature. This board is in addition to and does not replace the township trustees. The new county board of school trustees will have hearings on petitions, properly filed and advertised, to change school boundary lines. The filing and advertising of these petitions is very similar to the previous procedure in the county court. QUESTION CLAIM OF COUNTY TOWNSHIPS IN OAS TAX MONEY The question of whether or not townships in McHenry ' county will share in the state's new gasoline tax money was brought before the board of supervisors last week by Supervisor Harley Mackeben of Huntley. He advised members that unless the townships raise a 10 per cent levy for road and hridge purposes the •county will not be eligible to participate in the distribution. Only one township in the county is said to have a levy of 10 per cent or over for 1952. Unless matters are changed, townships will not participate in the $81,750 allotment of Jan. 1, 1952, or the $34,062 of Jan. 1, '53. Something would need be done to raise each township levy for road and bridge purposes to ten cents or higher. It is generally expected that at the next session of the legislature the 10 per cent clause will be amended. There is no such clause in connection with allotments to counties or cities. It will be some time before there will be sufficient funds to carry out much of a road improvement program due to the high cost of construction of blacktop or concrete roads, say highway commissioners.
