</ « y \ Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO~^ •(Taken fron the files of July 17, 1930) The new Standard Oil filling station on the corner of Routes 20 "and 61 in McHenry, owned and operated by Nick P. Justen, was opened for business on July 3. The building, which has a very attractive location, is made of red brick, the work being done by the 'Artificial Stone company. John P. Weber was in charge of the car­ penter work. H.E. Buch installed the plumbing and George Kane did the pain­ ting and decorating, while Tony Freund did the grading and other outside work. James Fitzgerald worked the day shift with the owner and Alex Justen, the night shift. Mr. and Mrs. Peter J.

A group of IS boatloads of Algonquin Boat club members paraded a .distance of 20 miles one way up the Fox river to the McHenry dam, ..demon­ strating that when river levels are maintained it is possible for boat owners to ply the waters of Ihe river. Because of the absence of elevator equipment, the boatmen were denied entry into the McHenry-to-Wilmot stretch of water after they sought elevation into the Chain-O'Lakes level. The parade was all a part of a demonstration by which the boat club called attention to the necessity for main­ tenance of river levels and the need for a boat lift at the McHenry dam.

(Editors note: This is another in a series of . especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family . Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This article is "Coping - Traveling With Children".) Long trips, even under the best of circumstances, art tiring and, at times, frustrating. Practically evijsry trip has some unex­ pected variable, such as bad roads, flight delays, rough weather, or just plain getting lost. When small children are included, the added frustration can turn the trip into a disaster. Traveling parents can, however, take a few simple precautions and avoid most of the frustrations that children experience on a long trip. First, plan a trip that allows for flexibility. Children simply do not, and can not, operate on strict schedules. Do not expect your child to adhere to a tour schedule that requires that you be in certain places at certain times. When planning your itinerary, allow more thah enough time to travel at a leisurely pace. Young children have a very short attention span. This is to your disadvantage if you are wanting to spend some time in an interesting adult activity. Thus, while a "drive through a scenic area may be interesting to you, it is usually a source of screaming boredom to young children. On the other hand, children are very easily entertained for short periods of time. If you provide a child with a variety of small toys, games, and books,, they will entertaih themselves for hours, going from one toy to another, ignoring the Grand Canyon, and allowing the adults to enjoy it. Children can be a real joy while traveling. They are naturally gregarious and inquisitive. If allowed to, your children will make friends with ofhers while traveling, which can open the door for you to get to know the people who live in the area you're traveling through. u SUNNYSIDE FOODS 'CORNED BEEF BRISKET ED'S FINER MEAT (815)385-7663 1- '••Hl DAYS TO NEVER FROZEN^ (HICKEM WINGS I GROUND BEEF PATTIES 5 LB.
