FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 18, 1928) Five skeletons of human beings have recently been uncovered on Coon Island during some grading that has been in progress there. Coon Island is a beautiful, verdant island, opposite Bald Knob, between Pistakee Bay and the lake of the same name and to the site of about twenty sum­ mer homes, to which access is gained by crossing the water in a boat. While grading and beautifying the grounds at one of the summer homes on the eastern point of Coon Island the skeletons were uncovered. One of the skulls which was found intact has been taken to Chicago for examination to determine whether it is that of an Indian or a white person Rev. Bonham of Chicago will be the pastor of the Methodist church for the coming year and desires to meet all members and friends of the church at the regular services next Sunday morning. All those who are not attending some place of wor­ ship on Sunday are invited to attend these services. The Sunday school will be in charge of Mr McCracken, who plans to organize a boys' and young men's class and invites all who are interested to come to Sunday school next Sunday. of FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files October 27, 1938) On the east side of the Catholic church in Johnsburg, under a gently sloping hill of ÔD.N%, \ S Y * O P P ^ / the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce wishes to announce: FOR YOUR SHOPPING CONVENIENCE McHENRY RETAIL BUSINESS PLACES BEGINNING NOV. 2nd WILL BE OPEN EVERY THURSDAY EVENING green in the cemetery of St. John the Baptist, lies peacefully at sleep the dearly beloved pastor of the parish, Father Anthony J. Vollman. Today the parishoners of St. John's church mourn the loss of their leader; the people of Johnsburg and neighboring towns, the departure of a staunch friend; while his three sisters grieve over the loss of their brother. Father Vollman's demise came as a distinct shock to his friends. Although he he had been seriously ill in St. Therese hospital, Waukegan, as a result of a heart attack, no one for one moment thought his brief illness would result in death. Notice was served Sunday night on a group of C.I.O pickets in Woodstock that the citizens of Woodstock do not want any part of their labor tactics. This all took place near the Alemite plant between the hours of 10 and 2 o'clock. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 22, 1953) At a regular meeting of the grade school board of education it was decided to employ Raymond Orput of Rockford to make plans for additions to the Edgebrook school. It was the feeling of the board that whatever building was done at this time, it should complete the school as an educational unit. Since the board meeting the architect has been in McHenry in consultation with superintendent of schools and showed plans that would add either six or eight classrooms and two kindergarten rooms. The cost of such an addition has not been calculated. However it seems that $150,000 or $175,000 will be needed to cover the project. With attention being con­ stantly brought to the City Council regarding hazardous speeding and disregard for traffic regulations the subject was given careful scrutiny at the regular council meeting. As a result of the discussion, the Council voted to have the Mayor cause to be published a warning that strict and vigorous enforcement has been ordered. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 25, 1968) Following two or more years of study and planning, the City Council of McHenry is now ready to move toward the expansion of the sanitary sewer system in the city. The development of property in the city and projected growth makes it imperative that proposed plans be put into action. First of all the Council points out that new subdivisions and annexed property pay their way in improvements. Studies made by Baxter and Woodman, Civil and Sanitary engineers, advised that the city must either enlarge the present sewage treatment plant or build a new plant in another area. Cost estimates clearly Unveil New Regulations Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland unveiled new food stamp regulations marking the most major overhaul in the program's history, and an­ nounced that key provisions of the new regulations would take effect by Jan. 1. The regulations, which im­ plement the Food Stamp Act of 1977, are aimed at "eliminating those who should not be receiving food stamps, while assuring that we do get food stamps to those truly in need," Bergland said. "The changes tighten administration of the program and redirect benefits to needier persons." he added. The regulations put into effect provisions of the law ending the requirement that food stamp participants come up with lump sums of cash to purchase their food stamps. A family now paying $60 for $100 in food stamps, for a $40 benefit, would instead simply receive the $40 in stamps Several million low income persons who currently cannot afford to buy food stamps will be able to receive nutritional assistance through the food stamp program when this change takes effect, Bergland said. Most of those who will enter the program when the purchase requirement is ended will be the elderly poor and the working poor Bergland also credited the Carter administration's suc­ cesses in cutting unem­ ployment with having the effect of reducing food stamp par­ ticipation from over 19 million oersons several years ago to 15.3 million today. Other changes in the new regulations include more f l e x i b l e c e r t i f i c a t i o n procedures for elderly and handicapped persons. These persons will be interviewed through home visits or by telephone if they are unable to showed that enlargement of the present plant with construction of mains to areas to be served would be less costly than building a second plant. With this in mind the city purchased the Chuck Coles property which adjoins the existing treatment plant. At this time last year, Sandra Krumme was teaching high school in Arlington heights school. This year the young McHenry girl is eating powdered egg omelets and C- rations with soldiers in the mess halls of Vietnam. Food Stamp For Jan. 1 come to food stamp offices. In addition, the changes in the deduction structure will result in several million per­ sons receiving increases in benefits, while several million other persons receive decreases in benefits In general, the poorest households will receive benefit increases, while the less poor households are more likely to receive benefit decreases The department will propose additional provisions based on the 1977 Food Stamp Act in coming months. This will in­ clude provisions on state plans of operation, accessibility of services, special procedures for use in disasters, antl operation of the food stamp and c o m m o d i t y d i s t r i b u t i o n programs on Indian reser­ vations • • • * We would like to know where the statisticians get their comparisons.
