SECTION I - PAGE 1 - PLA1NDEALER Twice Told Tales 4- TWICE TOLD TALES FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 21. 1930) An orchestra directed by Miss Elsie Vycital and composed of Stanely Schaffer, Eugene Sayler, Juanita Keg, Anna Popp, Guy Duker, Charles Peterson, Stanley Carlson, Harold and Richard Vycital, furnished music at St. Mary's church fair. This group of young musicians also furnished music at the church fair held at Spring Grove. Miss Maud B. Curr, McHenry's composer and musical genius, has just released for sale her latest song, entitled "Fleeting Shadows". The lyric and music were composed by Miss Curr, alone, who is also the publisher and in whose name it is copyrighted, for no task is too great for this little musical genius to undertake, especially when it is in connection with her beloved music. Miss Curr has been very successful in the sale of the songs thus far. Everett Hunter, Sr., owner of Hunterville Park sub­ division, announces that lots are now available in this new subdivision. This is the only river front property left on the beautiful Fox river, near McHenry. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 21, 1940) Immediately after the unfortunate drowning two weeks ago at Wonder Lake, Dr. J. M. Schowalter sub­ mitted a . petition for an inhalator. Jerry Kobovy, always working for his neighbors, has circulated same with enthusiastic support, besides generously donating to the cause himself. Gerald Carey, cashier of the West McHenry State bank, and friends in Pistakee Bay have also pledged sums of money and there remains but a very small amount to be collected before the apparatus will be purchased and kept on hand ready to serve any emergency at Wonder Lake and neighbors in McHenry county. Leo Heimer returned home after spending five days at the Mayo Brothers clinic at Rochester, Minn., where he underwent a general check-up. Although he has been absent from his work at the McHenry Brewery since July, Mr. Heimer is recuperating and hopes to be back on the job in the near future. Miss Maud Granger is spending a few days with Hebron relatives. DR.

Elm Street (Rte. 120-Across the Street from Hornsby's) (815) 344-3900 TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of August 18, 1955) Meetings have been coining thick and fast for the City Council as business at hand requires an ever in­ creasing amount of time and attention. A contract was entered into with the Speelmon Elevated Tank Service of Rockford to clean, repair and paint the stand- pipe. The contract calls for emptying the tower in­ stalling a release value to maintain pressure to the water mains, then giving the necessary attention to both the interior and exterior of the large structure. The Cotncil is now considering entering into a maintenance contract which would assure constant attention to needed repairs. This is expected to effect a savings. The 1955 Marine day queen, Misa Cathy Wolf, left for a week's trip to Cypress Gardens, Fla., on her Chamber of Commerce- sponsored prize vacation for winning the water festival title. The Johnsburg public school will open Sept. 4 with teachers for kindergarten through the eigth grade, the Johnsburg school board announced. New head of the school is Philip L. Shutt of Paris, 111. tEN YEARS AGO (Taken from.the files of August 14, 1970} Although theeequest for a conditional use permit to allow a medical and health care complex in this area came up for discussion before the county board of supervisors in session, the necessary vote for approval was delayed. The parcel of land contains.. 320 acres located north.of Crystal Lake on Crystal Lake and Mason Hill roads. An anticipated sewage problem at the new Parkland school on Ringwood road when classes start next year brought action on the part of Con­ solidated School District 15 board. Because there is no septic system, the board voted to install three 1,000- gallon cement tanks at the school. If approval is secured from the city, 6,000 gallons of sewage will be transported in trucks daily I Light On. Condi. ] "Donce Happen/ng" The Life or Death ofaCkIM In Harris vs. McRae, the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision upheld the con­ stitutionality of the Hyde Amendment which bans Medicaid payments for abortions. The Hyde Amendment had been added to some Congressional Medicaid legislation, and it reads as follows: "None of the funds provided for in this paragraph shall be used to perform abortions except where the life of a mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term; or except for such medical procedures necessary for the victims of rape or incest where such rape or incest has been reported promptly to a law enforcement agency or public health service." The 27-page majority opinion stated that Congress acted legally when it enacted the Hyde Amendment. As a result, no federal money can be used for these abortions, though individual slates are legally free to allocate state funds if they so choose. . The court had already decided in 1973 (Roe vs. Wade) that abortions are legal. The issue in the McRae case was this: Does (he legality of abortions mean that the federal government has to pay for them? The court ruled: "No.*; For millions of Americans who believe that all life is sacred, and that a human fetus is a human life, this County Fire District Names New Officers New officers for the McHenry County Fire Protection district Trustees association include Dick Ritt, Algonquin, president; Ed Ocenasek, Cary, vice- to the city sewerage plant. Eventually a hook-up with the city plant is planned. decision resolves a serious conscience problem; namely, "Is it moral to pay federal taxes when part of that money is allocated for the destruction of innocent life?" For proffers this decision came as a relief, although others consider it a setback. Justice Marshall, in a dissenting opinion, claimed that "ihe predictable result of the Hyde Amendment will" be a significant increase in the number of poor women who will die* or suffer significant health damage because of an inability to procure necessary medical services." The claim is questionable at best. Still no one takes satisfaction from any form of human suf­ fering. However, neither the majority nor the minority opinions dealt with the central question - the right to life: Is it a crime deserving of death to be in your mother's womb? The Supreme Court seemed to think so when it legalized abortion at the will of the mother. In the McRae case, the court considered only the financial aspects of the execution. Who pays? In denying federal funds for abortion through the Hyde Amendment, the govern­ ment removed itself from the position of subsidizing on command decisions to take the life of the innocent un­ born. To this extent, the Supreme Court decision was morally correct. president; LeRoy Gosch, Burton Richmond, secretary; and Bob Seegers, Crystal Lake, treasurer. In addition, Ed Kjellstrom of Hebron-Alden-Greenwood was elected as a director to serve with the above. Fleai Itch Fleas have been around longer than man. A fossilized flea unearth­ ed in Australia in 1969 was esti­ mated to be 120 million years old. It was a third of an inch long and to be the missing link in flea evolu­ tion, showing that the pests developed from an early form of mosquito. JILLSCHAEFER Friday, Aug. 15, at 7 p.m., the Judith Svalander Dance theatre will present a dance "Happening" at Crystal Lake's Central grade school, 131 Paddock, across from the public library. The performance will include the company in excerpts from their classical ballet, "Celebration of Strauss", the short classical work, "Prelude In Blue", as well as several character dances, musical comedy pieces, pantomimes, and a jazz finale. It will also debut its liturgical dances. The distinguishing feature that makes this a "hap­ pening" instead of a regular performance will be the spontaneous dances and audience participation that will be interspersed between the set pieces the company will perform. The evening promises many surprises, and will be entertaining, informal and affordable for families seeking a night out. There will also be refresh- FRIDAY.
