A BIT OF LOCAL TRIVIA-CHAIN O'LAKES The attraction of the Chain O'Lakes in the 1920's were the Lotus beds which at the time were in Grass Lake. These famous flowers are grown in only three places in the world. Egypt, China and Grass Lake. The Lotus flower is a beautiful plant whose creme colored flowers give off an exotic perfume that prevails the entire area of Grass Lake. The bloom is 6 to 8 inches in diameter. At one time there were 2,000 acres of Lotus beds, they would go into bloom in July. The flowers were used for perfume and dusting powder. The ancient Egyptians were called Lotus eaters. They made wine from the flowers. The pungent odor was said to induce slumber. ' ^ Lotus has been transplanted - successfully, but in the Grass Lake area they are natural. The Lotus blooms for 6 to 8 weeks. In the late 40's the Lotus beds started to die, the reason for this is believed to be the result of the water control dam in McHenry. The dam in early winter was open to relieve flooding in the spring. When this happened it left Grass Lake ) with only a foot of water in the ^Mftiddle of the lake. The very H, Ifng co)d months froi# hold ^"devistation" t'o^the Lotus J plants. The winter freeze would go deep as two feet below the roots of the vegetation, thus >*• causing the roots of the Lotus plants to die. The hard freeze , would kill the Lotus pods. There is rumor that the Lotus • plants may be coming back, but ' not is such large and massive growths as there once were. The peet bogs will not freeze solid in the winter so maybe the roots of the Lotus flowers can be formed. We or our children may not see the natural beauty there once was, but Grandma and Grandpa no doubt will remember the beautiful/ide by boat down row after row of Lotus beds. There was a legend that sailors of old who visited the Lotus lands lost their desire to return home. (The text of the story of the Lotus Blossom was supplied by JoAnn Britt.) SUMMER BLAHS?

GREEN ST., McHENRY Financing Available McHenry Lions Membersf* Aid Glaucoma Detection wary jo Farreii McCullom Lake 344-1575 Glaucoma: A serious eye disease which can lead to blindness if not detected in time. In the detection lies the hope, and the hope is with the Lions of Illinois foundation and the McHenry Lions club, assisted by the University of Illinois, Department of Ophthalmology. Lion Frank Cady, 518 Emerald drive, McHenry, president of the McHenry Lions club, said club members are mobilizing to help staff the Lions Mobile Glaucoma Screening unit when it arrives here Aug. 10 as part of a state­ wide swing to offer the free screening to residents of McHenry. "We feel fortunate in having the unit visit our community," said Lion Frank Cady. "It is estimated that more than 2 percent of the total population of Illinois residents have un­ suspected glaucoma. So far, almost 7,000 people of those already screened state-wide have been warned that fluid pressure in their eyes is suf­ ficiently high to warrant a complete eye examination. Many others have been reassured that they are fine." When the unit arrives, Lions and volunteers will help welcome adults wishing to take the simple, painless test, and to assist the professional medical staff. Local Lions planning to help in the screeening include: FYank Cady, Leonard Bottari, Clare HaWle, John Licastro, Ken Sheridan, Anthony Freels, Richard Mercure and Dennis Swedo. In addition to glaucoma tests, visitors to the unit also will be able to take preliminary visual acuity tests for other eye problems which may need attention. G l a u c o m a g e n e r a l l y manifests itself in adults. Its symptoms rarely are noticed until it has advanced to a dangerous stage, although it is detectable in earlier, treatable stages. The disease is not inherited, but it does have a tendency to run in families.

Ransom Movie To Be Shown At City Church 30% - 35% off. One bleak morning in 1974, two kidnappers abducted the wife of a St. Paul businessman. Their action not only set in motion forces which led to their subsequent arrest and im­ prisonment but, even more significantly, detonated a religious witness conveyed by the news media to all corners of the world. That witness has been given new impetus through the release of a feature motion pic­ ture, Held For Ransom, to be shown Sunday, Aug. 7, at 7 p.m. in the Alliance church, 3815 W. Bull Valley road, McHenry. Held For Ransom, based on the book by the same title, is unique in that the film's director, Bruce Lood, avoided the usual fictionizing which characterizes motion pictures of this nature. "We actually developed the script by clipping out description and dialog from the book," Lood says. "We wanted to come as near as possible to the events as they actually happened." To further assure story ac­ curacy, Eunice Kronholm, the St. Paul banker's wife, was closely consulted. She watched the crew and cast in production and, prior to the film's release, viewed the final cutting and gave her stamp of approval. Mrs. Kronholm and her husband also make an ap­ pearance at the end of the film. Held For Ransom was produced and released by Ken Anderson Films of Winona Lake, Ind.
