McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section A Wednesday, August 14,1985 • Pafl« 5 Community Bees battle builders for bell FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 14, 1935) Carpenters working on the grade . school roof found out, much to their ; painful sorrow, what the expression v "bees in the belfry" meant last >• week. Bees having selected a nice, jC quiet home around the old school »* bell objected to the noisy interrup- ; tion of the carpenters and respond- • ed accordingly. Eighteen tons of » honey dripped from the rafters, the school bell honeycombed and so "stuck-up" that it would never again send forth its silvery tones to summon the kiddies to the school. The carpenters, their patience worn out, bombarded the bees from behind a smoke screen during the night, and folloVing several nights C~" battle, the carpenters won. A pioneer West McHenry busi- V*' nessman, N.J. Justen, 79, died Aug. C 8 following a painful illness. He was f-Z one of the oldest businessmen of this v city and founder of the firm, N.J. >1. Justen and Son, furniture and un­ dertaking. The Waukegan Street i •«T-' C" %w-«- 2K W? resident came to McHenry 52 years ago in 1883 and continued to be active until about 10 days ago when . he became confined to his bed. The largest and most successful carnival in the history of St. Mary's > : parish took place over the weekend with the people packed onto the church grounds so closely that mov­ ing about was difficult. An estimat­ ed 83,000 is expected to be cleared for the church. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 16, 1945) World news became also the big news of each small hamlet and vil­ lage throughout not only a nation but the entire world at 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening, when Victory Day was'proclaimed. For this was not just another V-E Day, with threat­ ening clouds of more to come in the background. This was the day of all- out victory, the day for which the world has prayed for almost four years. , Forty years after its armies marched into Korea to establish a foothold on the Asiatic mainland, Japan's course of imperial conquest came to a dramatic end Aug. 14 with the unqualified acceptance of the Potsdam declaration subscribed to by the U.S., Britain, China and Russia. Announced to an anxious nation by President Harry S. Tru­ man, the Jap surrender came three years, eight months and one week after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Locally, jubilation was the theme everywhere, but for the most part this was preceded by a few mo­ ments of thoughtfulness and more than a few tears. Most realized that they might never witness such a momentous day during our lifetime, with sirens, bells and horns break­ ing the silence almost simultaneous­ ly with the radio announcements and playing of our national anthem.

Stranger greeted stranger with broad grins and a cheery "Have you heard? The war's over." A long procession of cars made its way through McHenry at various times until the wee hours of the morning. Churches were open throughout the evening and many of the more seri­ ous-minded chose the serenity of the House of God to offer thanksgiving for the Creator's great favor in be­ stowing peace on a weary and war- torn world. A chorus of old time songs drifted across Pistakee Bay at sunset. While the curtains were drawn on World War II, it is our responsibility to remember the row upon row of white crosses, markers for American boys across the seas. By presenting a vivid picture to­ morrow of the grim but real scenes today, we may be instrumental in averting a third world war.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 15, 1975) An explosive growth from the original three founding associations to 12, all within a couple of weeks, is dramatic evidence of the interest and support of homeowner groups in cleaning up local lakes.

It is expected, with numerous inquiries forthcoming, that the federation may double or triple in number in the near future.
