Everything worked out to perfection, the day was a beautiful one, the ^diamond was in fine condition, the >ci«wti 'Iras a luge and good-natured one and, last but not least, McHenry •won their first game of the season which, if prophecies hold any weight, fortells a successful' year for the team. Sunday was also a big day for ike blind manager of the tean^, Wal- ~~ who at this time witrealisation of his fondest in the completion of park fqj which he has many months and who was instrumental in obtaining the present location for the ball park and giving MsHeary its recreation center. Mr. Freund feels that the park will be a valuable asset to our city *y improving the appearance of the ^property where it is located and also "by bringing many visitor# to this vicinity which will receive muoh adwertising in this way. The diamond is, without doubt, the best one that McHenry has ever possessed and is the finest One to be found anywhere in this territory outaide of Chicago. The appearance is 'especially pleasing and attractive and ita neatness and beauty will aid greatly in creating a' good impression «pon visitors who travel Route US. 12. Site of Old Mill Poad ' Strang, but true, tite present site •a# the nation's favorite sport was •ealy a few years ago covered deep with the waters of the mill pond, lying in the bed of this body of Water, but how 'quickly we become accustomed to the changes of time JUld now the old miil pond is relegated to the past with its many memories -and its bed will become home sites in the years to come. In 1851 the Grist mill was built by 4$*ren Brothers and, fn order to se "Mrtpae wfiter power to operate the mill, fSe dam was built across Boon creek t» form the mill pond. The quarter section of land was located from the government by Daniel Owen, ' who <ame to this part of the country in 1837 from Oneida county, New York, •fed settled at McHenry in 1838. Ever since its formation four score _jea*s ago, the old mill pond' has been one of the landmarks of this vicinity until a few years ago when it was drained and its basin converted into fertile acreage. The ball park is reached by a road- ^ny through John Anderson's propto the playing space of the diamond which is 40o «y 360 feet with a 400-foot parking space along the west side of the field. |i Large Grandstand 96-foot grandstand faces the "ilirth, providing a cool and comfortable inducement to view the games aad for which there is no extra dtarge. It is strongly anchored in the (round with cement anchors and the best assurance that the big building, which seats 300 people, is perfectly safe is the fact that it is accepted bv insurance companies and insured both fir fire and wind. A fence, 150 feet in length, extends to the east and this and the grandstand carries the advertisements of ty-eight of McHenry's business i. The price of the advertising has aided in partly covering the expense of the undertaking and aaarly all of the labor was donated, as that the cost Ins been keep to a Jafaiimura. The team, which is composed of fatal men, with the exception of a few outsiders, promises to "be one of the -strongest in this territory and their schedule is already filled into July. The manager also plans to put on several feature games later in the aaason and will book a colored team, Indian and Japanese teams and perhaps a girls' team, as there are two * three good ones in this region. f_ Many Games Scheduled . ; 3Phe first game with Johnsburg will |H played June 7. This contest always draws a large crowd and causes as much or more interest than .any of the other games of the season. Next Sunday the Summer's Grays Kenosha will come to McHenry to Meet the local team and as they are eae of the fastest teams in southeasten Wisconsin, the game promises to prove interesting. Among the carpenters who donated \ ^»rk on the grandstand* fence ware: John P. Weber and Joe Weber, S. H. Freund, J. W. Rother- .aael, Jacob Schaefer of McHenry and Itoter J Freund and Arthur Freund of Woodstock. The filling in and Jsaeling of the ground was done by Anton P. Freund. Among those who donated labor and assisted in the digging and finishing of the grounds ware: John Fay, Bernard Kinsala, James Powers, Joe Smith, Earl .Dowell, Frank Thurlwell, Charles Dowe, Fred Schoewer, sevend members of the Broadway club, members ef the Legion Junior baseball team aad members of the McHenry team aad Athlfetic club. £be lumber was purchased from ttjb Alexander Lumber company and McHenry has gained another" distinction through one of its residents! for "Poems," is the simple inscription in letters of gold which appear* upon the volumes of poetry just off the press fWr Miss Maud B. Curr of McHenry. The books are purely a local production, the poems being HDKM STOW : MMJtLMY SERVICES TO BE HELD IN CITY PARK On Saturday, • May SO, Memorial day W&l again be observed in McHoqwritten by Miss Curr and the print- j jy ^ the people of the © ing and publishing of the edition be-! w; ing done by the McHenry Plaindeaier. Miss Curr has become known, to the people of this territory throagh her several songs which she hss published during the last few years and the sale of her poems is assured and will, no doubt, make her famous. The motive which prompted Miss Curr to combine her poems into a volume was to do goo<f and bring pleasure to the readers as well as to reimburse herself. The edition is dedicated to her friend, Mrs. Harry CooKdge Sampson, who was a resident of this city a few years ago and whom Miss Curr came to love through their many likes in common. The poems have been written by Miss Curr during the past twenty years, but she remembers every one and can repeat them as she also recalls the circumstances which led to their composition. As the authoress explains them, each one was brought to mind by a great joy or a great sorrow, being an expression of the sosl, for poems are written from the fullness and experience of a lifetime. The first poem in this very attractive book was written by Miss Curr soon after her arrival in McHenry from Scotland and carries a touch of pathos in its note of homesick longing for her native ceontry which she felt for seme time after her arrival here,. Each one holds a story. "Cheerfulness" was a message sent to a sick friend for whom recovery was hopeless, "Lost Pelf" was written when adversity came and fortunes were lost and the unselfish energy of the writer is expressed in her words: "I would rather die with living, Than live a living death* • vr; The one with noble doinf The other Mst in self." ••"-Wvlffi'i - The composer's favorite piefla is entitled, "Bonnie Scotland," in which in memory she recalls her native land with the grandeur of lofty mountains and noble ancient castles and expresses her love for her birthplace when she says "Bonnie Scotland, I adore and loo thee weel." A sleigh ride which ended in a trip over into the snow is told m a verse by that name and the volume is concluded with' a story in verse. There are poems in memory of loved friends, pleasant happenings and noble thoughts, all beautifully told in words that only a poet can write and which go to make up a volume of Interesting reading. >- Miss Curr was one of a family of nine children, her father being of the nobility and possessing a brilliant mind while her mother was also talented and musical. One of her brothers wrote a book on free trade at the age of twenty, which was read and studied by parliament members and the tales of her family and early home are most interesting and would make a wonderful story book. There were many noted people who call her birthplace "home," including James Barrie, author of "the Little Minister," and Sir Harry Lauder and this land of rare beauty, mountain and glen has been the land of many fair lasses and brave-hearted men. McHenry may well be proud of this little Scotch authoress, who has chosen to make this city her home and for whom only admiration of her courage and appreciation of her wonderful poetic and musical talent and ability is expressed, and no doubt, everyone will be more than anxious to possess one of these books of poetry, the first to ever have been written and edited in our fair city. START WORK THIS WEEK ON WOODSTOCK POSTOFWCE Actual work began Wednesday morning on Woodstock's new federal postoffice building with the arrival of representatives of the contractors, Anderson Bros, of Chicago, who were busily engaged with staking out the building lines preparatory for the excavating of the basement. An outfit from Elgin has taken the contract for excavating for the basement. There are 1200 yards of dirt to remove. A part of this will be left on the site to bring the grounds up to the proper grade, while the balance will be disposed of afbund the city. The new building will face east on Johnson street, will be 80 feet wide in front and 58 feet deep. A basement wilt extend under the entire building. NEW FORD MODEL Tne Buss-Page Motor Sales, local Ford dealers, have a full page ad in this issue, in which they announce a new Ford model and also other important announcements. the paint from George Kane, both *t very reasonable prices. The roofing was put on by Willard Thurlwell, Arthur Meyers and George Thurlwell, who donated their services. The saying, "many hands make quick work," surely applied in this case and the ball diamond with its grandstand, fences and other necessary accompaniments grew rapidly and was completed in a short time and will remain for many nits ran n as McHenry's popular amusement center. will honor the memory of those who grave thetr lives in the service of oar country. x The services this year, in keeping with the day, will be a little out of the ordinary and perhaps more elaborate than customary, the first unusual feature being that they will take place in $he city park atid the second feature being the dedication of the memorial stone which has been erected by the local fortress of the Daughters of the G. A. R. in memory of the Civil war veterans. The services will take place at the park at 10 o'clock Saturday morning and will be in charge of the American Legion and the Daughters o| tite G. A. R. * The program, whkh will be announced next week, will consist of musical numbers by the band, selections by the boys' quartet, a Memorial Day address by some competent speaker, and the dedication services which will be given by Mabel Griggs, Senior Vice-commander of Perry L. Austin Fortress of Waukegan- The Daughters of the G. A. R. have a service appropriate for various : casions and the dedication of the memorial will be an impressive and interesting one, to whieh the poblic is invited. Stone Placed In Park The memorial is the work of nature, being a large boulder which was found on Route 61, just south of this city, and which the discerning eyes of the Daughters of the G. A. R. selected as the appropriate symbol for their memorial. It has already been brought to the southwest corner of the city park, where it is being, prepared for its new and auspicious duty as a memorial to the brave men who fought and died for our country, and before the day of dedication arrives it wili bear an appropriate name plate. Following the program there will be the usual parade to the three cemeteries, where flowers will be strewn upon the- soldiers' graves and taps will be sounded. The attendance at the Memorial day services during the past few years has been'small and it is hoped this yea&vthat the residents of McHenry and of the surrounding country will turn out to make up a recordbreaking crowd in honor of the occasion- . t . PEOr. 8ZAS8 sxrutms WHY M'HKNKY LOST The following article has been written for the benefit of those who are interested in the result of the National orchestra contest held at Cleveland, Ohio, last week, in which the McHenry orchestra entered. There were six Class C orchestras thata entered and played in the preliminary contest which began at one o'clock Thursday afternoon. According to the rules in the National contest bulletin for 1931, all Class C orchestras were required to play "Song of India" and one other selected number. The McHenry orchestra played the required number and for their selected number they played the first movement of "Sinfonietta" by Schubert as they had done at the state contest. They were not allowed to play all three parts of "Sinfonietta" according to the rules at the state contest. One of the other Class C orchestras at Cleveland did not play the required number at all, and because of this fact a meeting of the six orchestra directors was called to decide what should be done- It seems that such a decision should have been made by judges rather than the competitors; however, such was not the case and five of the directors voted that the offending orchestra should be penalized only two points for not playing the required number. Reasonably one should expect such an offense to eliminate the orchestra entirely if the rules of the contest are to be followed. The question of the McHenry orchestra playing only the first movement of the selected number was then -considered, and two of the directors, for a minor offense such as this was, saw fit to penalize the McHenry orchestra three- points. The unfairness of this act was very evident because three of the directors would not vote against the McHenry orchestra. But because of the fact that only four out of six orchestras could play in the finals the three directors sat by and allowed the vote of the two, to' eliminate McHenry. According to the judges' figures the McHenry orchestra was to have played in the finals that evening but this unfair decision on the part of the two directors resulted in their elimination. Mr. Tremaine of New "York City, who is the secretary of the National band and orchestra association, expressed his opinion to the effect that the penalty was far too severe for such an offense. He felt that such an act would tend to discourage orchestras from entering contests of any kind.-*"**" W.

The McHenry high school has volunteered its services and the following volunteer sale girls from the school are requested to meet with the Auxiliary at the Legion club rooms Thursday evening, May 21 (tonight), at 8:30 o'clock, daylight saving time: Julia McLaughlin, Louise Kilday, Mary Kramer, Alvera Antholz, Arline Bacon, Olive Jepson, Clarice Miller, Frances Hughes, Dorothy Wormley, Mildred Thompson, Juanita Keg and Dorothy Fisher. The Boy Scouts committee is' also requested to be there and also the American Legion Junior Baseball committee. The following ladies of the Auxiliary will be in charge ef one work and assist the high school girls: Mrs. Herman Schaefer, Mrs. John Karls, Mrs. John A, Engeln, Mrs. Ambrose Schaefer, Mrs. Anna Howard, Mrs. James Marshall, Mrs. James Beavis, Mrs. Lester Bacoa, Mrs. Fred C.

This last week of school will be a busy oae and for The members of the high school orchestra returned from Cleveland late Friday evening, tired but happy, even in the face of defeat, making the 450- mile trip in one day. The trip was very much enjoyed by the thirty-four orchestra members who, knowing that they had honestly won at least second place by the judges but by disputes and penalties brought about by the body of six directors, had been eliminated, have displayed some very fine sportsmanship in their evident iac^ cf any hard uu«|- we ana especially so lor the s feelings over the unfairness of the members of the senior class of the . treatment thpy received at the Na- Com--pity high school, who are mak- *; -'T tional contest which is explained by' their director, W. N. Seait^ elsewhere in this issue. The fine sporting spirit of the young people should put to shame the actions of the judges and directors at the contest jat Cleveland by whom a higher code of honor and fair play should be set as an example for the young people. When merit, quality and earnest effort are accepted by five judges as being worthy of recognition it is a/sad state of affairs, indeed, when undue influence can be brought to bear .upon the case to change the decisioti and throw out an organisation to make room for one not so them. Then there is the buddy who meritorious^ Well, such is the way of has paid the supreme sacrifice. The money from the sale of the Poppy will be used to help make conditions better for the family that may be left, in many cases where the mother can-t not care for her children. The Legion and Auxiliary will give assistance by caring for the "kiddies" through the Child Welfare program by providing for them a home, when it is noi possible to keep the children and mother together. ( Then thia man will see the Poppy worn as a memorial emblem in tribute to his buddies who died. Our man is now able to take his the world, and that the young orchestra members can rise above the regrets and at once begin to plan for the future is a trait of character Worth having and one which is a feature of the buoyancy of ynuth. A peculiar status of the orchestra contest of Cleveland is that by giving an orchestra only two points penalty for not playing a required number they were enabled to win national honors. It seems that this would make the plans Tor future years rather a joke for why shouldn't all orchestras compete under their own(tertainer selections rather than required nqm- j cartoonist ing final preparations for this impor- v -< tant event in their lives when they •/ 'A wiH leave their high school life and, "* either go away to enter college or cast ^ out into the busy World to build a \ | * 1 career for themselves.

The trio contended that the lake bed, considered swampland seventy yeattt ago, was sold to their families. They asserted they had been paying taxes on the bed. Additionally they declared Lake Zurich was not included as a navigable body of water in a federal survey. The court decision sustained the previous findings of Judge Ralph J. Dady, at the time a special master in chancery. Those findings held Lake Zurich to be private property, and recommended the vacating of temporary injunction under which the use of the lake without permission* of the Pearces and Froelichs was allowed. Judge Shurtleff, however, extended the injunction twenty days to allow the state's attorney to determine whether he would institute new proceedings. At the saaia time he deferred signing his decree.
