This time it was one of the Sbo Line crossings to Des Plaines' West Side, crossings guarded only by flasher signals and bejl warnings. Victim was an experienced and long time driver of a bread company's truck, making deliveries in this area, and familiar with all crossings here, for the past twelve years. He Was Elmer Quist, 49 year old husband and father, and driver for the Silvercup bread pompany, the Gordon Baking company of Chicago.

JLHui finish paint is being used in decorating the rooms so as not to reflect the light and make a glare. Six different kinds of fixtures were tried out by light meters and other methods and the best one was selected. Interior painting, with the walls, finished in ivory and cream and completed with an attractive stencil, is now under way, with plans made to paint all woodwork on the outside of the building as well. The work has been arranged as much as possible so as n<?t to conflict with the school work and the greater part of the electrical work was accomplished evenings, the men working until nearly midnight. An interesting feature of the wirng is the fact that each floor is wir- 3 separately, having its own fuse boSc, so that each floor is independent In its lighting facilities. •Move Playground Equipment The playground equipment, including merry-go-round, swings, rings and crossbars, slide and teeter totters, has all been moved to the west side of the building so thafi the little tots will not confuse the older studens with their noisy play. The equipment has all been rebuilt and repaired to normal strength and has been gaily painted with each teetertotter attractive in its own bright color. The sand pit, used in athletics, has been made over and filled with sand and the large gymnasium is being redecorated and fitted with reflector lights protected by wire guards. The school, , built in 1894, was strongly constructed of fine oak lumber and the best of material and has weathered the years' in fine shape. Some finishing never completed, such -a ementing over of stone walla, is now being done and the bpilding is being put into first-class shape with NEAR FINISH j comparatively little expense to the district. The expense of annual repairs, usually made during the sumr. er months, generally amounts to $400 and staking these repairs nsideration the local cost_ is veiy small indeed. When the work is completed McHenry will have a beautiful and modern gradfe school building, of which *he residents may be justly proud, and which will stand as a model -in the countv. The builders planned well and for more tlian forty years the acUoot has stood as a symbol of their fore*, thought for the educational welfarft of the young people of McHenry. The first high school in the build* ing was a two-year course, with Mif' Strayer as the first principal in th« building. •A*' "• • MEMORIAL DAT What we'd like to see once morft on Memorial Day is all the school children, carrying flowers, marching, in a body to the cemeteries to dec* orate the soldiers' graves, under thf supervision of their teachers who marched with them.

It simply made official what they knew before--you can't do better for all-around economy. Remember that when you buy a car.
