TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the flies of Oct. 15, 1959) McHenry has come a long way since it was founded in 1836 on the banks of the Fox River and since on those same banks the first log school house was built in 1840. "The long way" it has come has been describ­ ed in detail weekly since 1875, the year the McHenry Plain- dealer printed its first paper. There is little resemblance be­ tween those first papers and in 1959 editions. Just as the small community of a century ago has little similarity to the growing city of today. Little could Jay VanSlyke have dreamed when he put his first paper on the press in '75 that by 1959 al­ most four thousand papers would be rolling off modern presses each week. Neither could Mr. VanSlyke have real­ ized that a staff of fifty-seven would be combining their ef­ forts to bring the newspaper into these many homes. This number includes sixteen cor­ respondents and twenty-six carriers as well as a growing staff of office and composing LAST TO LEAVE -- A nun at St. Mary's parochial school helps the last little girl to leave the building as firemen conduct a drill.

The following poem was written some time ago by the late Minnie Serven for her granddaughter, Eunice Lucille Tobey. LITTLE EUNICE LUCILLE Oh Little Maiden Wonderous and fair with sky blue eyes and soft brown hair - you little know, how sad I feel when parted from you, dear Eunice Lucille At noon tide, when the sun is high and the girls from school go tripping by - as we sit down to our mid-day meal, we miss you so, dear Eunice Lucille At the close of day and the gray of night, between the darkness and daylight into my fanciful dreams will steal the fairy like form of Eunice Lucille How long this parting, I do not know, but my love will be with you wherever you go Whether your future be for woe or weal, you're never forgotten, sweet Eunice Lucille.

NEW LEGISLATION SETS DEADLINE TO' FILE FOR OFFICE New legislation definitely es­ tablishes 5 p.m. as the closing time on the final day of a filing period for offices which accept candidates' nominating pet­ itions. The measure setting the clos­ ing time was signed recently by Governor Ogilvie. There had been some question whether the offices were required to remain open until midnight on the final day of a filing period. The new provision of the law applies to the Secretary of State's office, county clerks'of­ fices throughout the state, and municipal clerks' offices. In municipal elections, the filing offices may close earlier than 5 p.m., provided notices of the earlier time have been published in appropriate newspapers two weeks in ad­ vance.
