McHeoty County Through Tte Year* by Marie %*#• • mp.. Chapter 1 The Pioneer aad Ht» Descendant* pioneers of MeHWlty county were mostly from New York and the New England states and Virginia. They were poor but their own poverty made tfeem understanding and tolerant toward others faced with the same problems. Whenever they could, they lent a helping hand. Th& Jpteh was always out to a needy stranger who lacked food ar water. Jftl* people who settled early in McHenry county were ambitious. industrious and honest, hete and there, of course, there would appear one who sought to get rich from the labors of otkers. T&s has always hpea so ar^d probably always will be. Men of different Rationalities ai$ religions learned to discard their prejudices and to live in congenial association with his neighbors. Everyone benefitted from thi^ exchange of opinions and close social contact. They learned how the other fellow lived and what his beliefs were. Tliey learned that there is good in; all mankind if we but try to find it and recognize it. In McHenry, especially, this tolerance is still apparent in the way the mfcny groups, both religious and social, lend their cooperation for th£ benefit of the community. Many prominent men have gofre out into the world to do honor to McHenry county. Many more will go out. These descendants of the pioneer owe much of'their strength of purpose and untisual ability to the inheritance from their hardy ancestors. A love for the land and a wish to improve it is not the leqst of the inherited characteristics. The women of the pioneer families were taught to sew and to cook, to weave and to spin and to lend a helping hand in the fields when necessary. Many of today's women work side by side in their husband's stores and many more do an important job "behind the seenes." They btly merchandise, they keep books, often at home, and they attend to the business correspondence. They are truly partners who share the good and the lean times with their husbands. The modern woman has no need to spin or to weave but quite often she likes to make her own clothes if not her own cloth. The man of the family no longer needs to be a cobbler as well as a farmer, carpenter, trader and many other things, as his grandfather did. McHenry county, like the rest of the wcfrld, has become a place of specialists. He produces the finr est farm ' products and sells those to buy the finest products of his neighbor. MAKES APPOINTMENT Governor William* G. Stratton has appointed Dr. Percival Bailey of Chicago as chairman of the Illinois Psychiatric Research Council. Dr. Bailey is director of the Illinois State Psychopathic Institute, clinical professor of psychiatry and professor of neurqlogy and neurological surgery, University of Illinois. The council acts as on advisory'board to the governor and the Department of Public Welfare on matters of, program in the state mental hospitals. HAfTCHERY PRODUCTION A marked increase in the October production in Illinois commerce hatcheries, both as compared to the previous month and to corresponding month last year, is reported by the state and {federal departments of ag* riculture.

Vaccination is the only practical way to control hog cholera^ says a University of Illinois veterinarian.

While they arfc freezing and' thawing, stuffings make an excellent breeding place for harmful bacteria. According to foods specialist Oeraldine Acker, University of Illinois College of Agriculture, research conducted by the American Institute of Baking industries of Baking indicates that it is not even good practice to stuff a bird and hold it in the refrigerator prior to roasting it. The refrigeration of stuffed, uncooked poultry does not prevent the possibility of food poisoning. The safest method for preparing bread stuffings is to combine the ingredients just before you stuff and roast the bird in a pre-heated overn. This method allows the center of the stuffing to cook in the shortest possible time so that, if organisms that cause food poisoning happen to be present, they wtll hfevt less chance to develop and produce harmful toxins. i < i tfriTi tVm«*n t»»n4'i»i Health Talb Drive For Safety ' "Do to others as you would have them do unto you" is the golden rule for everyday living And nowhere is it more applicable than when driving a car. Every person who drives a cat has a deadly Weapon m his hands, which, if not properly handled, may make him a killer. In many instances, mere carelessness may result in injury or death. A desire for haste to get somewhere, to "beat" the traffic signal, or just plain nervous impatience may be the determing factor, according to Health Talk issued by the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society. With new tragedies being reported every day, caused by traffic accidents, it is important to emphasize the danger, to issue new warnings, and to reminds careless drivers that* they may be responsible for USath, permanent injury and. lifelong unhappiness. Assuming that the machinery drive -- let someone else do it j Prevention of disease is the -- or wait until your mind is, chief interest of the doctor of of the automobile is in good If it is not handy for you to I running order, the physical conprepare the stuffing at the last minute, you can measure and prepare the dry ingredients ahead of time, store them at room temperature and then combine them with the refrigerated liquid ingredients just before stuffing. Or, if you are making a dry stuffing, combine the ingredients, with the exception of raw egg if it is to be used, and refrigerate. Again, stuff the bird just before roasting. dition of the driver is of great importance. Many accidents occur because the driver is not up to par physically' perhaps due to illness, fatigue or hunger. These conditions can slow up the thinking state so that the normal judgment of distance is impaired and the swift action! necessary to control an emer gency is absent or retarded. If you've had even one drink^ of an alcoholic beverage, don't Rom where I sit.../? Joe March A Case of *•/" ^Moostaken" Identity clear befqj-e you attempt it yourself. ' Endless tragedy can result from fast driving. Heaa-on collisions, "sideswiping* and SKiading into a pedestrian or another car can be avoided if speed is kept moderate, permitting control of the car. An awareness of these factors is important at all times, but particularly so when driving at night. Poor visibility is responsible for many accidents. Perhaps the weather may be an influence, but frequently the driver's vision is obscured by an unclean windshield, or one littered with stickers of one kind and another. Luggage packed inside or outside of the car . may also block the vision of the driver. Check the state of your health before you take the car out. If you are tired and prone to fall asleep at the wheel, don't drive It will be better to delay your time than to arrive in an ambulance dead or injured. A short irpst may be all that is needed to drive on safely. Conditions which make a driver unable to handle successfully any emergency' are night blindness, alcohol or drug addiction, acute attacks of pain, fainting spells, defective and uncorrected vision and hearing, insanity and epilepsy. medicine. Traffic accidents may not be considered a disease in themselves, but the spread of emotional ar.J physical disturbances caused by them may be likened to a disease. Traffic accidents are preventable Remember you may be next in the toll of casualties. If the law does not demand a physical examination to drive a car, take the responsibility on yourself -- for your own safety and that of everyone else. And then use caution.

Prank Andrew, University of Illinois rural electrification specialist, isn't advocating indirect lighting or individual lamps for each cow. But he does offer these tips for safer lighting in farm buildings: 1. Place light fixtures where they're not likely to be broken a dust-i by livestock, fork* other equipment. 2. A dollar spent on _ proof fixture for the haymow,' grain bins or other dusty place* can prevent future fires. 3. Don't mount lights straight out from a wall where the will catch cobwebs or can bo tufed as hangars for clothes, drop cords, etc. ' Andrew says there are twb main styles of dustproof fixtures. One uses a mason jar to protect the bulb; the other has a heavy glass dome. The latter type is best if the light has to be located where it may be struck. nm i ii i muni, i u i j p f l t f ; SPEEDY V M<?
