It is the coin or monetary unit upon which our Founding Fa­ thers based the United States coinage system es­ tablished by the Mint Act of 1792. Interestingly, the Spanish milled dollar ( "pieces of eight" or "pesos") was legal tender in the Untied States up until 1857. The extremely high silver content of this coin made it the preferred specie round the world and figured in bidding for control of the much coveted Oriental trade. It was largely re­ sponsible for a general ad­ justment of all world mon­ etary systems inthe seven­ teenth and eighteenth cent­ uries. An interesting example of the worldwide role it played during the late eighteenth century England faced a silver shortage that threatened her entire bank­ ing system allofherown silver coin was being ho­ arded. To offset certain disaster, thousands of Sp­ anish milled dollars, cap­ tured from Danish merc­ hant ships, were counter- stamped with the image of the King of England (George in ) and then circulated as "coin of the realm". Englishmen were resent­ ful, this was a severe blow to their national pride, but these Spanish dollars did alleviate the financial pli­ ght of England. Eventually, the coins were redeemed by the Bank of England, con­ verted into bullion and then into English coin.

Deer have been seen in Harrison-Benwell as well as foxes and many bird species. Bobwhite Quail also have been seen, and this is most unusual because although they are abundant in the southern part of Illinois, they are not found where pheasants occur. When eating and early evening exploring is finished, the main event begins as darkness falls. Audubon Owl Hoots are gaining in publicity if not in popularity, mainly because the idea sounds rather ludicrous. However, last year even the scoffers were im­ pressed to watch Steve Peck and Tom Thurow in action as their tape recorder called up five Screech Owls at once. Even though all know it would be in vain, the boys tried calling in a Great Horned Owl, and it was a thrilling moment for everyone when it answered from right above the listeners. Evening Rite Aug. 7 Unites Local Couple The bridegroom's brother, Gary Adams, read passages from the Bible at the marriage ceremony uniting Miss Lynne Marie Ink and Nelson L. Adams in matrimony, at St. Patrick's church on Thursday evening, Aug. 7 at 6 o'clock. The Rev. Fr. Edmund Petit officiated at the services for which Mrs. Carl Weber provided organ music.

Sewing Group Leaves Mark Of Fine Service One of the hardest working and least publicized con­ tingents of the McHenry Senior Citizens club is the sewing group, organized by Alice Wilke in April, 1972. Initially, there were ihree groups, meeting at three dif­ ferent homes once a month, but now the whole group meets at the Wilke residence on the third Thursday of each month, 9 a.m. to 12 and the scissors snip merrily and sewing machines whir. The group also collects used clothing for use of those in various rest homes, mainly Valley Hi and Harvard. In 1973 the ladies knitted thirty-five pairs of bedroom slippers, sewed thirty-five lap robes, made jump ropes and collected clothing for the Dixon school, enough to need two cars for delivery. The group has sewed 328 lap robes, 104 bedpan covers, 166 bibs, and forty-two bed jackets to date and has converted thirty-three plain sheets into contour sheets. Grateful recipients of the work include Dixon, Harvard Nursing home, Valley Hi, Sunset Manor, Memorial hospital, Woodstock Residence, Pistakee home, Genoa. (Wis.) Rest home, Wauconda Rest home and Galena home. 'Members of the group, besides Mrs. Wilke, are Agnes Anderson, Thelma Allen, lone Bartz, Vi Binder, Emily Brocker, Frances Bruland, Alice Chermak, Florence Conrad, Martha Cossey, Blaine Day, Mary Doerr, Inca Dunlap, Hildar Guion, Eleanor Hen­ dricks, Caroline Jansen, Edna Kapp, Doris Lockerbie, Muriel Miller, Florence Olsen, Corrine Rogers, Betty Tuft, Dora Usedom and Frances Vycital.
