5 I '£? '<*• Uit «X». i: FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the flies of November 3 1932) ' A SharQn,Wia., youth shot and killed himself m the new jail under the treasurer's office in the courthouse at Woodstock, following his arrest for a holdup just south of McHenry. He and hi* Partner held up a McHenry man while parked along the road. It is believed the victim had the 22-caliber revolver hidden in his high boots and the officers missed it when they searched him. One McHenry county school has been recognized as a superior school and four have received recognition as standard schools from the state department of education. The superior school, which is the highest honored, is the two-room school at Ringwood taught by Roland Mc- Cannon and Mrs. Arline Pearson. Among the schools honored as standard schools is the Harrison school near Ringwood, of which Edith Baldwin is teacher. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 5 1932) As was expected, McHenry county and also the city of McHenry really went Republican all the way. In the four precincts in McHenry 1,456 votes were cast for C. Waylland Brooks and Democratic ballots by the number of 280 were counted for Henry A. Nulle, Marengo, seddnghis second term as sheriff, defeated Osman Olson, Woodstock, by a wide margin of 10,319 fotes. Even more praiseworthy than the story of a local boy who makes good in a large city is the story of a boy who makes good in his own hometown. The life story of John Bolger, who passed away Oct 20, provides a perfect example of the latter. The most noteworthy illustration of the resourcefulness is the huge, modern building, which is the Farmer's Mill. In 1922, Mr. Bolger began working as bookkeeper at the old mill, which was destroyed by fire in 1940. In a few years, having proved his sound judgment, he was made president and manager, which nofttyms he until his death. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 31 1957) . Open house will be held at the Pink Lady Shoppe in McHenry, at which time refreshments will be served. There will be pre-Christmas items and homemade goodies on --1+ Everyone is asked to attend, bring their friends and enjoy coffee with the ladies in the shoppt. Following a hearing held in Lake county, a request by petitioners in the Island Lake, Holiday Hillp and Griswold Lake area, was acted upon favorably, allowing the territory \o be detached from Wauconda's high school District lis and annexed to McHenry high school District 156. Services woe held for the first time Sunday, Oct. 27, in the new St. Paul's Episcopal church on South Green street, about a-mile south of Elm street. The building is not nearly complete as yet, but sufficiently so, that it be used while in process of completion, and so that the congregation may have the comfort of a heated building for their services. TEN YEARS AGO , (Taken from the files of November 3, - 1972) For the third consecutive year, Plaindealer Photographer Wayne Gaylord has been a winner in the annual Illinois State Newspaper contest. He received first honorable mention (fourth place) in competition with much larger , newspapers throughout the state. Gaylord wis a winner for his full page pictorial account entitled, "The Death Of A McHenry Landmark". This award is the fifth received in the past five years by the Plaindealer in thS annual Illinois State Newspaper contest. Hundreds of voters in tile McHenry area will join millions nationwide next Tuesday, Nov. 7, in electing can­ didates in county, state and federal offices. There are twenty-five precincts in McHenry township in­ cluded among 117 throughout the county and 10,888 state wide. SENIOR COUNCIL NUMBER The McHenry County Senior Citizens' council toll free telephone number is 1-800-892-3273. In addition, the basic telephone number for the McHenry County Senior Citizens council is (815) 455-2157. One of these numbers should be used when trying to reach the council office. Smoke Detectors There are two basic kinds of smoke de tec to r s--ion iza t ion . and photoelectric. Each senses smoke by a different principle of operation. You'll hear arguments in favor of and against each type, but the best in­ formation currently available is that either type can provide adequate home fire protection. In fact, there often appears to be more difference in performance between two models of the simetype than there is between the two types. Ionization Smoke Detectors , The ionization principle depends on the fact that even a very weak source of radiation will increase the ability of air to conduct electricity. In these detectors, a small and carefully shielded bit of radioactive material "ionizes" the air in the detector's smoke dumber. As a result, a week electrical current flows thr that chamber and is sensed by detector's circuit. ' But when tiny particles of smoke drift into the chamber, they reduce that electrical curreht flow. When enough particles have entered the chamber, the electrical current drops below the acceptable threshold, and the detector circuit turns on the alarm horn or buzzer. Smoke particles don't have to be very large to reduce the current flow in the ionization detector's smoke chamber. In fact, they can be in­ visibly small! Since hot blazing fires tend to produce more smaller smoke particles, and since these float further in the rising hot air from the fire, ionization detectors usually have a slight edge in giving early warning of open, flaming fires. WHAT ABOUT THAT RADIATION IN IONIZATION SMOKE DETECTORS? According to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, if you held an ionization smoke detector close to you for eight hours a day through a whole year, you would receive only a tenth as much radiation as you'd get^n, one round trip airline flight across the USA. Photoelectric Smoke Detectors The other most frequently pur­ chased type of home smoke detector uses the photoelectric principle. It detects smoke by "seeing it" ih much l'.V;K 2:s - Pl.AINDEAl the same way your eyes do--by means of light reflected by the particles of smoke. . When particles of smoke are carried into the detector by room air cir­ culating through it, they each reflect or "scatter" light from a small lamp in the device. Some of that reflected light falls on a photocell, causing it to produce a slight electrical current. As more particles enter and scatter more light onto the photocell, more elec tricity is generated. Finally, when the smpke particles are dense enough to reflect a pre-set amount of light, the detector circuit actuates the alarm. Because they sense the light reflected by smoke particles, photoelectric smoke detectors detect larger particles more readily than they sense the invisible particles to which ionization detectors respond. It happens th^t cooler, smoldering fires produce more of these large particles than do hot, blazing fires, so photoelectric detectors are sbmewhat more likely to give the alarm while a fire is still smoldering. -X» But remember that many household fires produce detectable amounts of both visible and invisible smoke. Either kind of detector has a high KR-WKDNKSrvW •>« TOMMl 27, 1 <182 probability of giving you enough warning for a safe escape. Of course, to really cover all the possibilities, you might want to install one of each type of smoke detector.
