M'K 4 • PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY, JULY 22. ltWI ••••••»! ,9fl Twice Told Tales j Perform In Baidshell FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 16, 1931) ^ The old creamery, located on the Crystal Lake road, just west of the C.&N.W. tracks in McHenry, was the scene of a federal raid when prohibition agents from Chicago, led by Elliot Ness, raided a brewery, "battered down the doors, arrested two operators and a truck driver and confiscated 6,500 gallons of beer and a new delivery truck. It is said that the "beer factory" had been in operation for about six weeks. The prohibition agents wrecked the place, dumping all the beer, which was in barrels and the machinery was destroyed. Bankers and police departments throughout the Middle West have issued warnings to the people to be on the lookout for spurious bank notes, following the discovery of ten $10 coun­ terfeit bills at Hammond, Ind. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 17, 1941) Between now and July 20, young men from 17 to 23 years of age who are unemployed and in need of employment may be enrolled in the CCC. Earl Dowell, who has been employed at the Pistakee Golf course, which is the property of William Skid- more, was notified that he had been appointed by Governor Green along with 97 other Illinois men, to the state Highway Police department. This ap­ pointment was made only after Dowell (who is perhaps more familiarity known as "Legs") had successfully completed a series of strict intelligence, physical and adaptability tests prepared by a committee of experts under the leadership of Brig. Gen. T.B. Hammond. TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 19, 1956) This week was a busy one for those assisting in moving the contents of the McHenry State bank to the new location on the corner of Elm and Green streets. With members of the police force standing guard, the task was completed by mid-week. Rosemary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mercure of Lilymoor, has been selected by -the McHenry chapter of the Future Homemakers of America as a delegate to the sixteenth annual Illinois state leadership training conference to be held in Lake Bloomington, 111. Two eyes probably never opened so wide as those of Daniel Lidtke of Riverview Park subdivision, a mile north of Johnsburg, when he discovered a foot and a half long alligator in the Fox river, near his home. The young fisherman succeeded in catching the young reptile in a net. The Lidtke family expects to give it to a zoo. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 23, 1971) The McHenry County Historical society is looking into the possibility of pur­ chasing the old school in Union, 111. The Building committee will meet with the school board to learn what would be entailed in making a bid or purchasing the building. An election of officers for the coming year was held by the Montini Catholic school board. Named to serve were Dr. Gregory Eckstein, president; Henry Kenyon, vice-president, and Mrs. William (Joan) Weber, secretary-treasurer. Four new members of the board wereseated at the meeting. Pfc/Harold D. Frett, who is stationed at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz., was one of six players to represent Ft. Huachuca in the 6th U.S. Army Tennis and Handball championship tournament at Ft. Lewis, Wash., to determine who would represent the 6 Army areas of the U.S. Army tennis team.

Weaving Highlighted At Museum Program Boycott Nineteenth-century farmers on Ireland's Achill Island re­ fused to pay rent to a land agent named Boycott, giving birth to the term for such acts of defiance. Recognize terms like swift, shuttles, quills, skarnes and warping? Spend Sunday, July 26, at the McHenry County Historical museum in Union for an afternoon of weaving demonstrations by Society Director Janell Jar- zembowski of Algonquin and these terms, as well as many of the skills of the pioneer home weaver, will become clearer. Mrs. Jarzembowski, who worked several years for the Chicago Historical society in their Pioneer Craft gallery demonstrating such things as spinning, soap making and quilting besides weaving, will be at the museum working the 1830's two harness bench loom. It was this historic loom that the Walkup family of Crystal Lake brought to the county in a covered wagon from Virginia. Just recently the loom was put into working order through funds raised by the Greenwood ladies quilting project. The Walkup loom, like other colonial era looms. was made of husky timbers with mortise and tenon joints and wedged to allow for easy assembly and disassembly. They are large, often standing 7 feet high and 5 feet square. As they took up a great deal of space, they were often set up in attics and spare rooms. During the 18th and 19th centuries when they were used, most American families depended largely oh their own labor for the goods of every day use. The loom was used to weave linens of all grades for everything from baby wear and un­ derclothing to coarse "tow cloth" for strawticks. Plain woven woolens for clothing and warm bedding wer^ also made. Much of the weaving was done between Christmas and Easter when women were apt to be more homebound. When spring came, the loom was often disassembled and stored as the outside work began. Spinning, however, went on all 'round. Enough spun yarn or thread had to be acc- 7f p-*Ti T 71' FOX pr \ALLEY MEATS ANNIVERSARY SALE! When the Temperature and Meat Prices Soar... *00/ V) U.S.D.A.
