A meeting was held in the office of ,<rsv. Small at Springfield Wednesday -forenoon at, which time the governor , fiol. Miller and Frank Sheets were - present, representing the highway de- j extinguishing the flames which had George Freund Suffers From SfNN Barns Received Whle - Attending Furnace George Freund, about 28 year* old, ton of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Freund, was the victim of a severe accident on Monday while at his work at the Knox Motor Sales garage. On Monday, morning he went down to the basement to fix the furnace fire and while engaged in this wort the furnace exploded, causing the flames to leap out and envelop him The basement became filled with smoke and although he succeeded in gtartment. • The delegation from McHenry county had as spokesman Judge Charles f1. Allen and Representatives Jackson fend Weis and Director A. M. Shelton also spoke regarding Route 61. At the close of the conference Governor Small ordered the highway department to arrange for a public hearing on this route in the very Dear future. Charles T. Eldredge of Richmond *ras instrumental in arranging for the Conference with the officials and deserves credit for his activities in endeavoring to secure the north and south highway. The committee reports that it was agreed by the governor and the heads of the highway department that Route 61 is a very important road and should -be among the first to be considered in the $100,000,000 bond issue. Another good old road meeting was held at the city hall on McHenry on last Friday evening, at which time road "fans" from all parts of this territory were in attendance. Nothing can be accomplished, es pecially concerning the road question, Without first obtaining a clear understanding of the facts of the case and a united effort towards co-operation, and this is best accomplished at a meeting such as was held Friday night. At that time a general assembly of representatives from Richmond, Ringwood, McHenry, Terra Cotta, Crystal Lake, Algonquin and Cary got together and had a real heart-to-hearttalk concerning Route 61 and they decided it was about time we were getting another state highway through this part of the country and made plans to confer with the governor and submit to him a request that Route 61 be commenced as soon as possible Three delegates were selected from each town represented to meet with Governor Small on Wednesday of this week .at which time, they would make their request. P. J. Frett, R. I. Overtoil, John R Knox and Stephen H. Freund are the four men who were chosen to represent McHenry. They left here Tuesday night for Chicago, where they were ioined by representatives from the other towns previously mentioned, and also from Dundee, Elgin and the Fox River valley as far south as Au rora. They then continue their journey to Springfield where they expect ed to meet Gov. Len Small and the " state highway department on Wednes day. Their idea is to get Route 61 through from its intersection with Route 19 south of McHenry to its connection with Wisconsin Route No 12. This would connect Ringwood with the cement road as well as making it possible to travel from Chica- ' go to Lake Geneva over this highway. Route 61 will no doubt be built directly through our city, which will give us a state highway approaching from every direction and will do much tot increase the number of tourists who visit us during the year.

A good response to the invitation was manifested when about fifty sat down to partake of a bountiful chicken dinner prepared by Mr. Biekler. The president of the organization, William Pries, acted as toastmaster, and talks were given by a majority of those present. The speakers al lpaid high compliments to the local Are department for its splendid work in combatting the flames during the recent blaze. President Pries announced that a subscription had been taken up among the business men of Centerville which will be turned over to the department. The fire department is in need of more equipment to take care of this community and this subject was discussed at length as to what it ought to be. It was the opinion of the members of the department that a chemical wagon would answer the need more than anything ehe. A very enjoyable evening was spent, the doings lasting until about 10 o'clock.

Lester Page immediately tried to gain entrance to the_ basement but it was so filled with smoke that he was compelled to go around to the rear where he climbed through a window and managed to get to the basement where it was necessary to use a chemical extinguisher to quench the flames, which already had burned part of the wall. The victim of the accident was taken immediately to the office of a local physician where his burns and injuries were bandaged and where he remained during the day .until Tie recovered sufficiently to be moved to his home, east of town, late in the afternoon.

The men have been working overtime and far into the night, driving thousands of rivets which hold the steel in place, in an endevor to finish the work as quickly as possible. Most of these men were transferred to other places last week but Richard Pannley and two assistants are still on the job finishing up the work and preparing to move the machinery. They hope to complete the work this week and they are expecting the inspector at any time, but they will have to remain until the work is inspectedand receives his OK.

The subdivision at Emerald Park has built up quite rapidly and the cottages are close together but the wind was in the right direction to protect them at this time. The cottage owned by Arthur Lassard of Chicago caught fire from the explosion of an oil stove and was practically ruined, although part of the framework is still standing, the whole interior of the house and all of its contents was burned. This cottage had just been built and was not all completed as the owner had bought the lot from M. A. Sutton and being a contractor, had worked on the cottage himself during the summer and he and his family had many plans for their enjoyment their home next summer. It is a five-room bungalow and is the second house from the Berkerscher home on the north side of the road leading to the river. Mr. and Mrs. Lassard and their three-year-old child had just driven out from Chicago to close up the house for the winter. Mrs. Lassard and the child had gone to the home of M. A.

Overton, P. W. Frett, Ray McGee, Charles Unti, Roy Kent. The retiring president, J. Scott Matthews, was present at the meeting, and was presented with a beautiful gift. Mr. Matthews, in a talk, told of how he had been unable to attend a number of the meetings during the last few months on account of living in Chicago and a pressure of business, and expressed his sincere best wishes and predictions for the success of the club during the coming year. All of the newly elected officers present responded to requests for short talks.. The* next meeting is being held this evening at the Justen hotel. Basaar and Card Party The bazaar and card party given by the Catholic Daughters of America at the K. C. hall last Thursday evening was very well attended and was a success in every way. Many beautiful articles of fancy work were on sale and these were all disposed of during the evening. Bridge, five hundred and bunco were played during the evening with three prizes being awarded in each game. At five hundred first prize was won by Mrs McHenry Country Clqb'a New Course Approximately 6,450 Yards With Par of 71 Harry Hall King, golf architect for the McHenry Country club, was in McHenry last week, and with Albert Purvey went over the lay-out for the new -.line holes. He says he came prepared to make some suggestions as to details, but found no room for criticism. The greens are properly placed and beautifully modeled, for which Mr. Purvey deserves great credit. As nearly is can be stated at this time the complete 18-hole course will approximate 6,460 yards long, »»th a par of 71-36 for the first nmmt Mies, and 36 for the last. Included in the new nine boles of the course, there will be reproductions of two famous holes' on other courses. No. 10 at McHenry will be similar to No. 8 on the course of the Ashville, N. C., Country club, and McHenry No. 18 will be like the very sporty No. 2 at the Breckinridge Park course in San Antonio, Texas, the latter said to be one of the most difficult courses in the country. Now that the corn has been removed from the Justen farm just taken over, it can be seen how well the land is adapted to the game, on account of its rolling surface.

This was based on the total- sales during the month of November. The Hettermann Sales sold tweny-six cars during the month and, of course, its representatives were occupying seats on the turkey side of the table.
