The state will refund the city, deducting 6 percent for service and charges. Tales /- FIFTY YEARS AGO •< (Taken from the files of July 24, 1930) "Turn on the heat" was wholeheartedly answered by The weatherman the last of the week and over the weekend as all July records were broken as the mercury' soared in the 100 mark and over. With 250 deaths at­ tributed to the country-wide heat wave and crops throughout this section withering under the scor­ ching sun, fears were felt that the heat wave would develop into little short of a disaster unless unforeseen relief arrives soon. Crops and pastures in northern Illinois are in need of rain. The passing of each day of dry weather is resulting in damage that follows on the heels of a period when the prospects for a bumper crop of unusually excellent quality *4 were bright. Corn in some sections where the soil is light has started to fire and the prolonged spell of heat has placed practically all fields in an alarming con­ dition. ) Peter W. Frett fr^he new manager of the E.G. Skinner company plant at Richmond, taking over his duties the first of last week. Mr. Frett was the owner of a meat market here in West McHenry for several years, and has just recently sold out to Joe Regner of Chicago. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the fttes of July 18, 1940) Michael J. Walsh, prominent and beloved character in our community, was taken from this earth by his Maker, July 18. Mr. Walsh served in public office with great credit. He was a former justice of the peace and held the office of township clerk at the time of hjs^deatt]. At the opening session of the milk parley at the Palmer house evidence was introduced showing that the home delivery of milk cannot be maintained in Chicago unless wage cuts are put into effect im­ mediately. A three-man milk ,*• arbitration board has until Aug. 23 to gather evidence and hear testimony from the Associated Milk Dealers and the Milk Wagon Drivers union relative to a proposed reduction in weekly basic _ wage scales. George Jackson, hard hitting catcher of the Johnsburg Colts, has suc­ ceeded Frank Schmitt as manager of the Colts. George will get his first real lest as manager when the Colts battle the Shamrocks fi< Irish Prairie. Some people ask why the Colts play the Shamrocks so often, the reason is that the Shamrocks are the only team that isn't in the league that can furnish enough opposition for Johnsburg. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 21, 1955) Peggy Whiting, pretty 17- year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sibre Whiting, who reside near Johnsburg, has been chosen winner of the nurse's scholarship awarded annually by the woman's auxiliary to Memorial Hospital for McHenry County. Miss Whiting is the fifth young lady to become a part of the nurse procurement program sponsored by the auxiliary, a project designed to interest high school students in the profession of nursing. The City Council of McHenry approved an or­ dinance which entitled the city to a one-half cent sales lax. Beginning Aug. 1 Barbara Cable, a 1955 graduate of McHenry high school was informed that she had won the highest rating in the annual scholarship examination conducted in the county last Spring. Miss Cable will receive her tuition and fees at the University of Illinois. She was also winner of the Louise B4rbier Memorial Student scholarship fund. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 22, 1970) With an unofficial theme of "Raindrops Keep Falling^' interested residents and visitors thronged to points of interest in the city to par­ ticipate in, or witness the many events which made up the 1970 Marine festival. Estimates indicated that more than 35,000 persons lined ihe parade route and about 2,000 thrilled to Drum Corps Magic on McCracken field that evening. Lovely, poised Barbara Ansell paused, pondered and then replied, "Very proud of myself" when asked by the master of ceremonies how she would feel if she should win the crown of Little Miss Peanut. Later she had the opportunity to experience that wry pride when she was namd^wihner in a field of 30 contestants. Denise Ur- banski of McHenry Shores was first runner-up and Susan Smith, -daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Smith of Green street, was second runner-up. 175 Die In State Traffic Accidents During June de- the Density Decreases Atmospheric density creases with height.
