• IC; THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEH Thursday. April 23. Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued From Page 1) ~~ a promise that we will not fail to fulfill our duty and go to the polls next November. A review of primary elections in McHenry county over the past thirty-odd years give a clear indication that there have been trends in political interest, with "ups" and "downs" Since 1932, when 10,446 in the county went to the polls. There was a high of 15,451 in 1936, then a gradual decline which fell abruptly from 11,387 in 1942 to 6,669 two years later. The year 1950 found a revived interest with 12,629 votes, of which 10,209 were Republican and 2,149 were Democratic. This year's total in the county reached 20,1% of which 15,- 026 were Republican and 5.17Q, Democratic, quite an increase for the minority party in this area. In McHenry's seventeen precincts, there were 2,943 declared Republicans and 1,658 declared Democrats. As we reflect on the many aspects of another primary, and look ahead to what the future will bring in the general election of November, 1964, we recall the wisdom of William Penn who wrote so many years ago: "Governments rather depend upon men than men upon governments. Let men be good and the government cannot be bad -- though good laws do well, good men do better; for good laws may lack good men and be abolished by ill men. But good men will never lack good laws nor suffer ill ones." A1 Vales has added to his banking and musical career a hobby of gardening behind glass, the success of which has been greater than even he might have dreamed. We would never have believed It if we hadn't seen for ourselves a beautiful, deep red tomato about 2 inches in diameter which was produced from a plant he brought into the house last fall and planted in a large container in an east window. ... susravisKar PLOT NEAR CITY WINS APPROVAL (Continued Frou Page 1) Charles Weingart will act as chairman of the Judicial committee and a member of the Agriculture and Road and Bridge committee; and Ed. Buss, chairman of Health and a member of Claims and General Assistance, Fees and Salaries. Of interest was a report from the Office of County Clerk Margaret O'Neil of fines in the various municipalities since Jan. 1 under traffic and quasi criminal distribution. McHenry receives $773; Sunny side, $38; McCullom Lake, $35; Lakemoor, $501 and Island Lake, $92. Of interest is the tremendous increase from $70 in January in the city of McHenry to $553 in March. The rise is believed due to the adjustment to procedures under the new judicial act. It was announced that McHenry township's allotment under the Motor Fuel Tax paid in February was $1,012. This was the highest amount for any township, the second being Nunda with $844.21. In a court report, it was revealed that 269 misdemeanors and nineteen felonies were heard in court thus far this year. Of interest in the report of Rabies Enforcing Officer Jelinek was an account of one rabid skunk and the death of a steer by a dog pack. JUBRARY WILL BENEFIT FROM MAY PROGRAM 'Onntinncd on Pragr«» f with the program theme, "Waters of thfr World". Other staging is being undertaken by Ray Jensen and Lee Hiller, with special art work by Franklin Oakley of Wonder Lake, scenic designer for television, and Miss Maureen Henn. All are singers in the club. The program will take the listener first to a show boat rehearsal, where the fifty-five member chorus will sing a variety of selections, including a number from musical plays. The concluding portion will be aboard the show boat and will feature favorites from "Show Boat" and "The New Moon", all performed in costume. $15,000 LOSS IN RICHMOND BARN FIRE SUNDAY It is always good to hear a few kind words for the home town. In note from Mrs. Peter Kaminski this week, she tells about the beauty of Minocqua, Wis., where they now reside, and mentions that many from McHenry stop when in the area. She observed that McHenry has been building up from the time the family left in 1947, adding, "the very best to all the citizens of your wonderful city. My heart will always be there." REORGANIZED SCHOOL BOARD NAMES OFFICERS (Continued From Page 1) tem that the separate boards have taken action to employ a full time faculty member for this purpose. The board okayed a requisition order' lor $350 for the boys' physical education program. An adjustment on the faculty salary schedule was made, affecting only those members who came to the staff prior to 1945. Under the new schedule, these teachers will receive a 6 per cent increase rather than 4 per cent on the regular salary schedule. It is said that women used cosmetics during the Middle Ages. They still do. YES! WE MAKE HOME IMPROVEMENT LOANS McHENRY STATE BANK A large barn at Richmond, belonging to Patrick Hughes, burned about 11 o'clock last Sunday morning, causing its complete destruction. Hughes estimated the loss at about $15,000. Firemen from Wonder Lake, Spring Grove and Company I, McHenry, were called to help the Richmond department extinguish the flames on the farm at 15 Hills road, two miles southeast of Richmond. The wind favored volunteers in their efforts to save nearby buildings. Damage estimated at about $200 was caused by fire early Wednesday evening last week to a frame garage on the property of- Miss Mayme Buss at 3925 W. Waukegan road. The building was used only for storage purposes. Fire Chief Ed. Justen said that wind blew pieces from a rubbish fire at Buss Motor Sales, next door, and spread to the roof of the garage. Firemen extinguished the blaze, but not before considerable damage had occurred. A shed fire broke out earlier that afternoon at 3705 N. Riverside Drive, resulting from a rubbish fire out of control. There was little damage reported. DISTRIBUTE 8.712 PHONE BOOKS IN • CITY NEXT WEEK In the next few days 8,712 copies of the new telephone directory will be mailed to McHenry customers, according to Illlinois Bell Manager S. F. Jozwiak. In addition to the regular instructions in the book's preliminary pages on how to place local and long distance calls phone users will find new instructions on how to get faster information service on Chicagc area numbers. Anyone wishing a number in Chicago or its suburbs can dial direct, Jozwiak said, to a Chicago information operator. Her number is 1-312-555-1212. Thr number to dial for local information is still 411, he added. The new directory also contains space on the front cover to write in the numbers of the local fire and police departments. "We advise everyone to write in these numbers as soon a? they receive the book," Jozwiak said. "You just can't tell when an emergency will arise ir which every second is precious.' Another time-saver is found on the back cover of the new directory; space for ihose dozen or so numbers you call most often. "The total of 8,712 copies being sent out is an indication of McHenry's growth over the past year," Jozwiak noted. "That is nearly 300 more than we distributed in 1963." All McHenry telephone customers should receive their copies of the directory within a week, he said. If not, they are asked to call their service representative at the telephone business office.
