A FLASH WINS SECOND RUMMAGE SALE AT OLD BARN HELPS HOSPITAL FUND The "Old Barn" rummage sale, a benefit for McHenry hospital held in Gladstone's barn, July 15 and 16. topped a'l previous sales records when proceeds were tallied, it was reported by Mi?&. Jack Cooper, chairman. An estimated 1,000 eager purchasers rang .up $1,100 on the busy register manned by Mrs. Lee Gladstone. This represents a 50 per cent increase over the $750 collected during the 1959 sale. Prices, ranging fVom 5 .cents to $40, were almost as varied as the types of rummage items sold. Variety was the spice of shopping as buyers selected merchandise which included a fur coat and jacket and other clothing, a deep freeze, furniture, appliances, books, records, duck decoys, buggies, cribs, and a cold weathej- aviator's suit. "Our sincere thanks to all the generous people who contributed items for the sale and to our hard working committee," Mrs. Cooper stated. "We are pleased to have the opportunity of helping McHenry hospital's building fund with proceeds of the sale." Other committee member? for the event were: Mrs. Kinley Engvalson. Ringwood: Mrs. Sheldon Maltz, Genoa City; Mrs. Fred Fradinardo. Lilymoor; Mrs. Fred Lieberson, Pistakee Bay; Mrs. Claude Mc- D e r m o t t , L a k e m o o r ; A l i c e Holmgren, Wonder Lake; Mrs. Samuel Liebsohn, Mrs. John Lonze, and Mrs. Bill Hay, McHenry.

NATIONAL FARM SAFETY WEEK IS SET FOR JULY 24-30 SAFETY RECORD A congratulatory message from G. G. Stewart, executive vice president of the National Safety Council, to Gov. William G. Stratton read: "Con" gratulations to you and your people on the traffic death record achieved in your state over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. An Analysis by our staff of the state-by-state holiday toll in relation to the size of the traffic problem in each state indicates your record was among the best-in the nation. "Shocked as we are at the size of the national toll, we believe it undoubtedly would have been much worse had not the overwhelming volume of holiday traffic on the nation's highways been met with extra efforts such as your state and its drivers put forth. We can only hope that the Very size of the Fourth of July toll will result in even greater efforts by everyone to make our highways safer in the months ahead." > I ED'S RENTAL 'RENTS Flpbr Sanders to Rotary Tillers EVergreenr5-4123 National Farm Safety Week, July 24-30, is to arouse interest and local participation in .solving the farm accident problem. Needless deaths and injuries miist be reduced if the farm and home are to become a safer place in which to live and work, says O. L. Hogsett, extension safety specialist, University of Illinois. Illinois Rural Safety Council estimates are all too accurate. Here is what the Council predicts for 1960: One of every, seventeen farm persons will suffer a disabling injury as a result of an accident. Accidents will kill fortyeight farmers every single day. A disabling injury will strike some farm person every 109 seconds, during the year. Total cost of accidental to farm people will be over one million dollars during the next 12 months. Each farm resident's share of that amount is $40.16 plus twenty days lost time. These things will happen unless farm residents learn and obey farm safety rules. Enjoy farm life -- practice safety. ^ Remember the Rotary horse show to be held July 31. LOOKING FOR A HOME? aim 5S Model Home located at Ponca & Logan streets in Cooney Heights Subd., McHenry, 111.
