THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER "SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKEB REGION SINCE 1875" Volume 90 -- No. 22 -- 4 Sections McHENRY, ILLINOIS. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 24. 1964 26 Pages -- 10c Per Copy Kiwanis Club Peanut Sale Set Sept 25 To Benefit Underprivileged mm w\ am* Rudi J. Photo Displaying peanuts to be sold by Kiwanis club members on Friday of this week is pert Deborah Lynn Bellino of 309 Crestwood, McHenry (Lilymoor), who is Little Miss Peanut. This is scheduled to be the big year in cars, with major automobile manufacturers having undertaken extensive style changes. In fact, the changes are said to be greater than any year in the past ten. The last year when such broad model changes took place was 1955, and sales boomed as a result. It seems reasonable to assume that manufacturers hope to maintain the present booming market they have enjoyed through these style changes. Whether we buy or just look, watching for the new cars to make their entrance in local dealers' show rooms is one of the favorite pastimes of the American public. The excitement of comparing the claims of the different models, studying pictures and data on each, has become a national tradition with which we wouldn't part. Friday, Sept. 25, doctors, lawyers, housewives, businessmen and many others will become peanut vendors for the day. The Kiwanis club of McHenry is holding its annual peanut sale on that day to raise funds for high school scholarships, medical care to needy children, merit awards and many other projects and youth activities. Dr. Leonard Pawlikowski and Tony Pintozzi, co-chairmen of the peanut sale, have stated, "We have no doubt that the generous people of McHenry will contribute willingly and generously to enable us to do even more for the community in which we live." Approximately 100 Kiwanis clubs in Illinois, eastern Iowa and Indiana districts of Kiwanis International will be participating in the Kiwanis Kids' Day Peanut Sale. The purpose is to provide funds for the year in Kiwanis club service work, and in particular, those dealing Rvao 1 GR A p/\i» MrHpnrv HAcnital V& a Vi ITAVt 1V111 J M. IVO|#lM»l COMMERCIAL USE ALLOWED THROUGH CHANGE IN ZONING Following a lengthy session the first meeting of September, the CitytSouncil met the issues at hand in short order Monday. City Attorney John E. Looze was instructed to prepare the necessary papers to make a change in zoning classification at the corner of Crystal Lake road and Waukegan road. This was originally zoned for heavy industry, but was found wanting in area requirements. Both the Plan commission and Zoning Board of Appeals recommended a change to permit commercial use. Realizing the importance of Boone Creek as an asset to the city, it was decided to join property owners in dredging to make this body of water navigable. Conditions at the site of the Green street bridge require improvment on the part of the city. The Council agreed to pay for two days of operation of the dredge. Vandals Break Plant Windows Extensive vandalism was reported to have taken place last weekend at Illinois Coil Spring, located north of Rt. 120, in the west part of the city, where limited .production is in progress. A plant official estimated the damage at $150. Vandals entered the property sometime late Friday evening or early Saturday morning and broke seventy-five lOx 12 inch Windows on the east side of the new'industrial building. Stones ranging from golf ball to baseball size were found inside. Fortunately all equipment is located on the opposite side of the building, and damage was confined to the breakage and some of the window frames. No one in the neighborhood is reported to have heard the disturbance. McHenry police are investigating.

Improvements are being made from time to time in our laws, and the fact (hat changes dre time-consuming procedures provides a protection that most of us would not relinquish. Another fact- that proof beyond any doubt is often necessary-- is also a part of the law we would be reluctant to lose. Nevertheless, sometimes it seems that innocent people must assume the expense of law enforcement in addition to unnecessary safety hazards because of a few irresponsible people. Many police officers are in agreement. We are speaking particularly of drivers arrested for accidents caused through drinking, where authorities feel that even , with a wealth of evidence at / hand, they will have a difficult time making the charge hold in court. It seems that the law for positive proof likes a test, of the offender at the time of the accident, and few cities own those expensive meters. Rather lhan have a drinking 'charge dropped, by the officers' own admission over a period of years, the charge is often changed to reckless driving. To our own knowledge this happened in recent months in an accident which could easily have had fifteen or twenty witnesses had they been willing to testify. Most of them were aware this was not a first offense, but few people are anxious to become involved even though they may deplore a condition that exists. As a result, one more driver is allowed to travel his merry way as long as he is careful not to be involved in too many accidents in a given period of time. There seems to be something wrong with the law, but maybe it is just another case of an apathetic public which will not become aroused until N®w Umd«Fgrc)«iid Pi ne Cable In Nin OPEN HOUSE AT ST. JOHN'S SET SUNDAY, OCT. 11 (Continued on Page 8) This huge caterpillar, especially equipped for the needs required by Illinois Bell Telephone company to put new telephone cable underground, is shown at work on Riverside Drive, north of the city. A cable reel continues from the front over the cab, falling into a trench which is dug as the machine proceeds, installing the underground wire. Service improvements for rural telephone customers in the immediate vicinities of McHenry got underway this week as Illinois Bell Telephone crews began putting new telephone cable underground. "When this project is completed in about ninety days, private-line service will be availahle for all rural customers in the McHenry area," said S. F. Jozwiak, Illinois Bell manager. T h i s s e r v i c e i m p r o v e m e n t project is part of a program announced earlier this summer to provide improvements in telephone service for customers in all areas served by the company. Similar projects are started or will begin in the near future in Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Harvard, Marengo, and Union. Bury Cable Jozwiak said the cable burying project -- eleven miles of cable which contains over 215 miles of wire -will be to the west, northwest and east of McHenry. "We hope no one will be inconvenienced while this project is going on," Jozwiak said, "And you won't have to worry about our tearing anything up. Everything will be put back just as we found it." Jozwiak pointed out one more advantage of this underground cable system. "Let it rain, snow, or blow," he said. "Underground cable can take the worst that nature has to offer and still give our telephone customers the kind of service they need and expect." St. John's Catholic church in Johnsburg will be the scene of an open house on Oct. 11 from 2 to 4 o'clock. It will consist of conducted tours throughout the church, displays and explanations of the stained glass windows, the vestments, the baptistry, the sacred vessels and the confessional.

Company I were kept busy last Sunday evening when two fires within the city caused considerable damage Snd threatened to be more extensive had it not been for their quick response. The first, and less serious, occurred about 8:15 o'clock at the Robert Thompson garage, in the rear of their home at 3803 W. Main street. The flames seemed to originate around a light switch, and Chief Edward Justen said the fire was caused by a short in the wiring. A quantity of lumber, screens and some chairs were removed from the attic before they were damaged. Tools and a lawn mower in the lower part of the garage also escaped. The structure was scorched on the interior, and the roof will need to be replaced. The fire was discovered by a neighbor, George H. Johnson, in the absence of the Thompsons. Boat Fire The second fire occurred about 10 o'clock when a boat docked at Mark's Marine center, 3620 W. Elm street became ablaze. In spite of efforts to extinguish the fire, it had gained such headway that the craft was described as a complete loss. Although it was not determined definitely how the fire started, it was possible that a carelessly thrown cigarette from the bridge might have been responsible. The boat was directly below the walk over the bridge The boat was owned by Kenneth Buffo of 6054 N. Maples. Chicago, who had brought it in for repair earlier in the day. The loss was estimated at $1,600.
