McHENRY MARKET PLACE DAILY 9-9, SATURDAY 9-6, SUNDAY 10-51 Calix Aids Alcoholics In 1947, a small group of Catholic men, with the help of a priest, organized the society which later became known as Calix (Latin for Chalice). Their purpose was to use the resources of the church to aid them as alcoholics to work toward sanctification. Calix was planned to bring its members together as Catholics on common spiritual ground with their common problem and their common aspirations, Free motorcycle safety training courses are once again being offered by the Illinois Department of Transportation to Illinois residents 15 years of age and older..

Students of the program learn basic maneuvers necessary for safe motorcycling in traffic. Much time is also devoted to to seek guidance in practical daily living, as specific ap­ plications of the Christian virtues through the character problems of the alcoholic. The first defined purpose of the Calix society is to interest Catholics with an alochol proplem in the virtue of total abstinence. Calix offers its invitation as a means of spiritual growth and serenity in sobriety. Calix does not replace AA, but simply is a discussions about protective clothing and helmets. All training is done off-street. A driver's license is not required. Students under the. age of 18 must have written parental approval. Since its inception in 1975, the Illinois program has trained Golden Gleams Even the best pilots are willing to take advice from their passengers in bad weather. -Cicero.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 6, 1954) Sixty pupils, accompanied by Sisters M. Immaculata, Arnica and Adilia and Chaperones Mrs. Alex Justen, Mrs. Roy Miller, Mrs. R. Jager and Mrs. Alvin Phannenstill, last week enjoyed a trip to Washington, D.C. The boys were under the able direction of Daniel Justen of McHenry and Alvin Querhammer of Crystal Lake. It was a comprehensive tour of Washington, D.C., and was highly educational. Annual parents night will be held at the local high school May 11.

For those of you who don't know what a Scout-O-Rama is, it's one time a year when all the scouts and all the packs from the surrounding areas get together, and display han dicarft and projects that they have done throughout the year. There are games and prizes given out along with refresh- ment§, and plenty to see. As I toured the fairgrounds, I couldn't begin to tell the amazing things f saw. In every booth there was something different going on. The boys were making projects as everyone watched There was so much to be seen, from home made chairs to small puzzle games and decorative finger rings. And if you felt like it. you could have your face painted to look like an Indian There was a play going on every half hour, and even a car race. By that I mean that pack 162 of McHenry displayed and operated their new Pinewood Derby race track. The car race gathered large crowds, and was a huge success All in all Scout-O-Rama '79 was great and what a great way for a family to spend their day t o8e the r Scribe FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 12, 1939) Contract bids for the con­ struction of a grade separation on the intersection of Highways 14 and 31 will be received in Springfield.

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 3, 1929) On account of "frozen assets" the Citizen State bank of McHenry has closed its doors and placed its affairs in the hands of the state auditor of public accounts. Represen­ tatives of the state banking department are at McHenry checking the bank preparatory to liquidating the bank. The trouble of the bank may be covered by two words, "frozen assets", which means that an excessive amount of the bank's funds are tied up in slow selling assets which includes mostly real estate items.
