Health Examination School Code Revised loving parents should remember that Soldier Story Most soldiers would rather be generals than privates: Gene­ rals don't have to fight for their medals. In August, Governor Thompson signed a law aimed to strengthen the immunization and health examination requirements of all schools in the State of Illinois. The law requires that each child present proof of having imminizations and health examinations in accordance with the regulations of the Depart­ ment of Public \ Health each of the following situations: 1--Upon entering nursery school, kindergarten or first grade, fifth grade, and ninth grade. 2--Upon transferring to another school, irrespective of the grade. This is a new requirement that went into effect on Aug. 1, 1979. When m« _ jJWjT; stufenttransferring to a,new1 school mutt have proof of a recent health examination in order to register at toat school? Addltidriar health examinations of students may be required when deemed necessary by school authorities. _ ee t e : • !

Palmer House in Chicago.

Other officers elected were Floyd Hopper, senior warden; Seth Richardson, junior warden; George Johnson, treasurer, and Ray Page secretary. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 14, 1939) About 125 farmers (and some agriculturists) in­ vaded the Lion's den-of course, by invitation. The McHenry Lions club played host to a large group of farmers of this community at the Knights of Columbus hall. The purpose of the meeting was to better acquaint the farmers and business men in the com­ munity and give each a better understanding of the other's problems. For the purpose of coordinating these problems, the Lions club was successful in arranging for the popular editor of Prairie Farmer, Arthur C. Page, as speaker. Someone perpetrated a joke on S.I.H. about a lost key and he was flooded with keys. It was a good joke, well planned and executed. He promised revenge on that syndicate some day. TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of December 8, 1954) The Plaindealer is beginning a series of editorial cartoons that pertain to the various types of business houses that are here in McHenry.

Dixon Secretary of State If you own or drive a truck, proper loading techniques will save you time and could save you money as well. When the weight of a vehicle is deemed unlawful by a police officer, the driver will be required to pull off the highway and remain standing until such portion of the load is removed or shifted to comply with the law. Materials unloaded shall be cared for by the owner or operator of the vehicle at the risk of the owner or operator. No arrest tickets will be issued when the overweight is 2,000 pounds or less and the owner or driver shifts or removes the excess. It is against the law for a driver to refuse to stop at an official weighing station; or to refuse to obey a police of­ ficer who orders an excess load to be removed or shifted. Fines of not less than $500 or more than $2,000 can be assessed for failure to shift a load. Take that extra minute that can mean a savings. (A copy of the Rules of the Road will be sent to you upon request. Write to Alan J. Dixon, Secretary of State, Springfield, 111., 62756.)
