Father Flannigan.and his band of boys from Omaha, Nebr., who are touring this section of the country were present and the band played several very fine selections. When John W. Schaffer, proprietor of the McHenry garage, and John Stilling, owner and operator of a vulcanizing shop both located on Pearl street, arrived at their places last Sunday morning, they found that their gasoline pumps had been tampered with during the previous night. A young man from Milwaukee, Wis., paid a fine of $5 and costs in Police Magistrate Kent's court Saturday afternoon on a charge of speeding over the newly opened Main street paving. The young man, riding a motor­ cycle, 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.

McHenry's city population jumped from 1,597 in 1940 to 2,054 at present. There are today in our city 661 dwelling units compared with 474 in 1940. John Millnac was installed as president of the Lilymoor Property Owners association at the annual installation party held at the clubhouse. Pastor of the Methodist church, Rev.

It will be from 8 to 11 p.m. at the McHenry county fairgrounds. "Need something to do this summer?" asks Kim Kan- tlehner. reporter for the Federation. If that 's the case, Kim suggests going to camp. Meet new friends and just have an all around good time.

It was built between the years 1770 and 1780. The house is handsomely decorated with carved wood. The main doorway is considered one of the most beautiful in America--one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture to be found in Annapolis. Annapolis Boasts Many Treasures Of Heritage Record High Spending Cited By Comptroller Record-high spending is driving the state's day-to-day operating funds toward their largest fiscal-year deficit in history, despite near-record tax collections. Comptroller George W Lindberg has warned. "The result is that the state's operating funds, including grant money for our schools and welfare program, are likely to be exhausted by June, 1976. At that point the tax­ payers of Illinois may be hit with either a tax hike or cuts in state services," the Comp­ troller said "I know that the General Assembly is aware of\ this situation. If further deterioration of the state's financial condition is to be averted, the members must chop every ounce of fat from the spending requests now before them," Lindberg said. By June 30, when the fiscal year ends, balances in the state's general operating funds will have dropped by about $140 million from a year ago the - Comptroller's ledgers show. This is approximately double the deficit announced by the Governor three months ago in (By Father William O. Hanner, rector emeritus of Holy Comforter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth) No part of our land has much more of history than Maryland and its capital. Annapolis. This colony was granted to Lord Baltimore by Charles I of England. It thrived from the very beginning in the 1630's and thereabouts. The capital, Annapolis, has the oldest state house of any state in the Union. It was built in 1772, is still in use as a legislative center-has a wooden tower and dome unique in such structures. At one time Congress met here for a period. In the old Senate chamber one can see a plaque in the floor which marks the place where George Washington stood when he resigned his commission to the Continental Congress. Fifty years ago, when our population was less mobile and the building was not visited so much, you could go yourself and stand on the very plaque. I have often done this. The building is a National Historic Landmark. The dignity and beauty of the structure says lots for the taste of our forebearers in architecture and furniture. A short block away is the parish church of St. Anne's. This parish was founded as part of the state church in 1692. The present building dates from 1859. The first mayor of the city and the last colonial governor are buried in the church yard. King William, III gave the parish a silver communion his budget, which means he will have $72 million less to offset the deficit of $215 million he plans next year. "The state's financial position is becoming precarious," Lindberg said. "Our bank book is in worse shape than the Governor has anticipated in his budget for next year." Lindberg said- that the Governor's $215 million projected spending deficit for FY 76, which begins July 1," coupled with what appears to be the Governor's low estimate of public aid demands for FY 76, could bankrupt (he general lunds before (he end of FY 76. Public aid spending estimates in the Governor's FY 75 budget were $200 million below reality and the FY 76 projections now appear low by at least $100 million, Lindberg said in a special analysis portion of his monthly financial report The report shows that during the lirst 11 months of the fiscal year, which began last July 1, general operating fund income is $383 million above the same period in the previous fiscal year. Meantime, expenditures exceeded the comparable II month period a year earlier by $014 million service which still sees regular use. Signers of the Declaration of Independence were vestrymen here. Down Maryland avenue from the capital is the Hammond Harwood house built in 1774. Its doorway, with tall Ionic columns, is called the most beautiful in America. This one home I have never entered. It is open everyday but Monday and. our recent visit found us only with a Monday open. The home is elegant throughout. It is said Mr. Hammond became so engrossed in building the house for his bride that she became disenchanted with his preoc­ cupation and broke the engagement. At any rate he lived there a bachelor all his days. Less than a block away lies the U.S. Naval Academies alumni house. The house was purchased by the alumni in 1945 hut it is old and was built in 1739. There are magnificent gardens in and around the town One of the oldest of these is the garden of the William Paca house. This garden was built in the 1760's. It was terraced with pools and a half dozen gardens within it. For years it was buried under fill and a 200-room hotel < in which I have stayed) was built over the garden. This was Carvel hall, for years TIIE place to stay in Annapolis but it got sadly out of date. An hotel company secured (he land and sought to build a high rise on it overlooking (he Naval academy. The citizen-y arose and defeated the project. They voted to restore the gardens and home of William Paca as they were in their heyday. The garden is now complete. The house will be opened, perhaps within (he year. Annapolis calls itself a Living Landmark. True indeed. The o|d inter-urban tracks are long removed. Old buildings have been carefully restored. Plans are under way to do many more of them. The old streets with their brick cobblestone paving and the brick sidewalks are in. many instances still there. There is a good sized tavern from the 1750's still operating. Swank shops rent many an old building. The houses are up to the streets. You can glimpse fine gardens through driveways. Some homes have elegant small gardens in the front Roses were in profusion while we were there. There are navigable waters about Annapolis. In the 'twenties I have seen four battleships moored out in Chesapeake's Bay. In those days there was no access to the eastern shore but by ferry. Today a huge bridge spans the Bay which carries ocean traffic to Baltimore. Nearly $15,(KM),000 has been spent in restorations in An­ napolis. This is evidently good for business for tourists abound. Properties and taxes are up and all because the colonial atmosphere of one- third of a square mile has been restored. There are fine boating facilities. The boat slips beneath our hotel window had small seagoing and in- tercoastal waterways crafts coming and going all the time. While we were out on the Bay one afternoon I counted over 300 pleasure craft and there was no way I could count them all nor estimate the great number still at their piers. You can also get an ex­ ceedingly good and fresh seafood dinner about the wharves. In the heart of the old town is a rather good sized public market building where one can buy all kinds of sea food and refreshments (soft). There are stalls with fancy vegetables and fruits, local and shipped in. Annapolis is a great place. Go see it. Delayed Mowing Will Save Pheasant Nests Thousands of pheasant nests, as well as nests of other ground- nesting birds, could be saved if farmers would delay roadside mowing until after Aug. 1, according to game biologists at the Illinois Natural History Survey. The Survey investigators report that the pheasant population is down as much as 40-50 percent this spring in portions of east-central Illinois. The decline in pheasant abundance reflects the disastrous nesting season of 1974 which resulted from a combination of adverse weather and reduced acreages of hay and small grains, the prime nest and brood cover of the ringnecks. The high grain prices of recent years have resulted in increased acreages of corn and soybeans being planted throughout the pheasant range. Roadsides, waterways, and ditch banks provide the best remaining safe nesting cover for pheasants and other ground-nesting birds. Unfortunately, most farmers mow their roadsides one or more times each summer, starting in early June. Early mowing of roadsides may be particularly widespread this year because the planting of corn and soybeans is ahead of schedule and farmers have time for mowing and other chores. Survey biologists are asking farmers to delay mowing until Aug. 1, if possible. Annual mowing in late August is suf­ ficient to control the invasion of trees and brush Any early mowing, should be limited to a single 3-4 foot swath im­ mediately adjacent to the road. Appeals.
