SeciloriThree -- Pag* Six THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, June 17, 1065 TWICE TOLD TALES FORTY YEARS AGO ((Taken from the files of June 18, 1925) The McHenry park is attracting more and more auto tourists over every weekend who stop to eat their picnic lunches and enjoy a short rest. The park never looked more beautiful than now. Waste paper ovens have been conveniently erected around the park. The old water troughs which at one time occupied places of advantage along our streets have'been moved to the park, filled up with rich black soil , and planted with flowers. The second of a series of summer outings sponsored by the members of Knights of Columbus councils of Aurora, B* tavia, Elgin, Belvidere, Woodstock, Harvard and McHenry- was held in Conway's "park, east of Fox River. Father Flarugan and his band of bovs: from Omaha, Neb., who arc touring this section of the country, favored the group with several very fine selections. The McHenry Plaindealer has been sold by Frank G. Scl reiner to Charles F. Renich, editor and publisher of the Woodstock Daily Sentinel. The deal involving the sale of the poperty was closed on Monday of this week although possession will not be given until July 1. The vaudeville given in connection with the regular movies at the Empire theatre on Saturday and Sunday nights •was exceptionally good. The entertainment was provided by Frank Helm, acrobatic singer and dancer, and Indian Bard, a full blood Indian who possesses a wonderful voice. The west side filling statipn is now open and doing business. The station is located just west of the C. & N. W< railroad tracks on Waukegan rs^d and is being conducted by E. S. Brink, who for a member of years was the Standard Oil company agent in this city. A young man from Milwaukee, Wis., paid a fine of $5 and costs in Police Magistrate Kent's court late last Saturday afternoon after he had pleaded guilty to a charge of speeding over the newly opened Main street paving. The young man riding a motorcycle made several trips up and down Main street at a high rate of speed before he was finally stopped by Officer Walsh and placed under arrest. Such recklessness must cease, in McHenry and Officer Walsh is going to see to it that it is stopped. WONDER LAKE NEWS MART liOU HARTOG 658-7176 OPEN HOUSE IN HONOR OF LINDA GALLAS Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gallas. Sr., honored their daughter, Linda, at an open house party at her home following her graduation from McHenry high school.

Anyone who has a rafjt or rafts which can be bought or borrowed for a proposed trip on one of the local rivers by the Senior Boy Scouts and their Scoutmasters sometime this summer please contact John Wines at 653-3931. Surplus rafts are ideal and shouJJj hold two or three scouts safely. If you know of any please contact the above number. Thanks! Roller Skating Party If you want to have fun and help out the Girl Scouts at the same time -- just attend their roller skating party at McHenry on Thursday, June 17. This party will determine whether or not the girls can make their proposed trip to Mammoth Cove. It'll be fun for the whole family -- so why not go? See the Cadette Girl Scouts for tickets. Scout Smorgasboard Due to the splendid cooperation on all sides -- both from Father Vanderpool for the use of Christ the King Hall and to all the wonderful people who donated gifts, merchandise, and time -- -*the Boy Scouts of Troop 145 will be able to go to Camp Lowden with one of their own leaders. All the Boy Scouts of the Troop did themselves proud by their wonderful cooperation with their Scoutsmaster John Doherty, John Wines, and Ralph Sweringen in "volunteering their services", clearing, serving and even doing "KP" duty. The women's reserve not only gave their time but donated and prepared all that delicious food. Chef Joe Novak was chief cook in the bar-b-qued spare ribs dept. However, it was really all of you customers who helped the most to make it a success. Everyone of Troop 145 salutes you! Return From Vacation . Ruth Russell and her two daughters, Sally and Susan, returned Monday night .from a week's vacation. Tliey were accompanied by Joe Azarro of Woodstock on their trip. I understand Joe was chauffeur. They visited Dick and Marlene Russell in Ardmore, Okla., and returned via the Lake of the Ozarks. Father Jack and "Clinker" the boxer took care of the home front while they were gone. What I'd like to know is did Jack babysit with Clinker of was it vice-versa? Probably six and six (or 7 and 7?) Kiwanw Club Meeting June 7 The speaker for the evening was Ed Heller with the subject being "Foreign Aid Is it a hand-out or is it helping our economy?" This turned out ^to be quite a ho)/ question and answer sessions! after the talk. Before the/meeting, by full vote, Ed Heller was relieved of wearing his initiation apron. President Stuhlfeier of Mcj- Cullom Lake picked the battle ax winner and Floyd Leigh's pretty wife will receive one of those nasty letters.

On June 22 there will be an inter-club with Sycamore in Sycamore at 6 p.m. Cars leaving Wonder Lake at 5 p.m. , Art Lau and Guy White will attend the international convention at New York the end of this month. Looks like the piano committee consisting of Kinzer and Lundgren need help. The pfano. still at the Legion Home, needs moving to our meeting room at Millies'?. Division play day is just around the corner. Looks like committee chairman Floyd Leigh and Lennie Freimd have their work cut out for them.

You can't detect rural danger spots, ^especially because many rural roads lack modern aids for night visibility, such as' light-reflective signs that a driver can see for 2.000 feet and -more, and reflective road-edge markings. "Reflective materials haven't been user! on rural roads as much as they should be," says Howard Bussard. county engineer for the Automotive Safety I Foundation of Washington, 1). ('. Reducing accidents on rural l'oads is a problem that was tackled by the National Grange during its 1964 convention. The traffic' safe.ty program adopted by the Grange includes: Uniform signs, signals and markers. - - Compulsory mechanical inspection of motor vehicles. Improved visibility along railroad rights of way and reflectors on railroad cars. - Better control of exces sive speed. - Additional state police officers. The Automotive Safety Foundation found in a study reported in "Traffic Control and Roadway Elements" i1963) that smoothing sharp curves on rural roads can cut accidents as much as 80 per cent. Large, legible warning signs that indicate safe-speed well in advance of a curve can reduce accidents by one-half. Nearly 75 per cent of a!}] highway deaths occur on rural roads, according to a 1965 rel> ort by the National Safety Council. Among rural--road problems are slowrmoving vehicles, poor road signs, intersections obscured by 1 all crops and brush, dangerous railroad crossings, and unsurfaced narrow roatls. You are most likely to lose your life when driving on a rural road at night, according CO N0RCR05S Father's Day CARDS Remember Dad with the Nicest Cards in town! FATHER'S DAY-JUNE 20 BOLGER'S 1259 N.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK Shareholders attending the annual meeting of Modine Manufacturing Company on Tuesday, June 8, were told that volume for the first quarter (April 1 - June 30) should be substantially ahead of the corresponding quarter of last year. Volume for the, year should be about 10 per cent greater than last year, barring any unexpected upset in the national economy. In his remarks to shareholders, Rutherford commented on problems of insufficient manufacturing capacity which are currently being met by the erection ,of a new 100,000 sq. ft. plant at Bloomington, 111., and the July or August completion of a 40,000 sq. ft. addition to the Modine McHenry plant which is devoted entirely to the manufacture ^af aluminum heat transfer product^. He said that the productive capacity of the enlarged McHenry plant might be taxed as soon as the addition is completed and that further expansion of aluminum facilities is already being given consideration. Scientists Hold Annual Meeting PRESENTS BANK „ TOPIC Thomas L. Frey, manager of the Federal Lapd Bank Association of Woodstock, recently participated on the program at the summer meeting of Illinois Land Bank managers, held in S-t. Louis. Frey was one of four Illinois managers on the program and presented the topic "Personal Risk Investigation for Making Farm Loans". The Christian Science board of directors last week urged its church members to find the "areas of agreement" which exist, with other denominations -- "rather than think of ourselves as entirely different or exclusive." From the church's earliest beginnings, said the directors, it has been deeply involved in "the search for the real source of unity.",, The message was presented before several thousand members at the annual meeting of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. Mass. "On the basis of its spirituality Christian Science has much in common with other denominations," the message noted. "Marking this upheaval is the Churning drive of the individual to find the real meaning oT life and to establish his legit imate place antl\ identity in an increasingly complex and impersonal society. "Social an:l governmental organizations ;is such do not maUe the necessary connection with the individual or enable him to meet his real need:-;. He'uful and important as these ril'nrts are, they are not. enou-'h. They do not get al the root of the trouble," said the# Directors. "People everywhere are crying out for healing - healing in its large and broader sense: the overcoming of sin and fear, of ignorance and sorrow . . . "Sooner or later both the 'individual and society must become willing to face up to the stark and tragic results of rooting their faith in the disappointing promises,, of matter." This rciiance on matter, stated the message, not only "cuts men off from God." but "pulls them down and pulls them apart." The working basis of Christian Science, the message stated, is that "the understanding of God as divine Love, all-inclusive Spirit, is the one force that can truly hold men together in understanding and harmony." Jesus "was never exclusive", the message noted; "he preached world evangelism . . His life of love drew the multitudes to him and established the basis for Christianity--the religion of love, the religion capable of uniting all peoples of all time."

It was a cold day. When weather permits, this custom of removing the hat is a very commendable one, a mark of respect. But it should not be done at the risk of one's health./ May we suggest that We forego this custom on cold days. Respectfully, AMBULANCE SERVICE Phone 385-0063 There's a little bug in every Karmann Ghia. Underneath it all, this faocy hunk of car is still a Volkswagen. It's got Volkswagen's 4-speed synchromesh transmission. And the Volkswagen's chassis and torsion bar suspension. The big wheels that rack up 40,000 and more miles, on a set of tires are all VW. And so is the air-cooled engine that can't boil Over in summer or freeze up in the winter. 32 miles on a gallon of regular and no oil between changes are practically s.o.p. on the Karmann Ghia. Not to mention the remarkable Volkswagen traction. The inexpertsiye and easy-to-come-by parts. The low insurance/i he reasonably priced, reliable service. ^ . You can't see the "bug" part of a Karmann Ghia because it's traveling incognito in a sporty, Italiandesigned body.
