Even considering the wonderful progress in human events, it is safe to 8*y that never in the next one hundred years will there probably be anything • in McHenry to equal in'magnitude and success the gigantic Centennial just completed. •Thousands ol McHenry's native born and foster children thronged the streets of McHenry and enjoyed to the fullest extent the reunion with old friends and former residents. Old settlers returned for their first V visit in fifty years, they came from ail parts of the United States, from New Yiork on the east, California op the west, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Florida, states in every direction were repre- , . sented. Thousands of visitors were here with approximately 4,000 persons view in sr the exhibits and 2,000 attend- ' ing the pageant, while probably 5,000 persons lined the banks of Fox river to view the boat races, i ' • The chairmen and their committees, who had labored faithfully through many weeks and tnonths that they might make a creditable presentation, feel well repaid and satisfied with the ret-uk of their efforts. Business men of the city gave of their time and labor in putting on a " program that did them proua and local citizens generally contributed time, talent and labor, which they donated to make the gigantic undertaking a .*•' iiiccess. It was truly a great affair and a , - deserving credit to everyone in McHenry who made such a celebration - possible. ' Well Organized 1. Overton, Centenniaf^airraah, supervised general plans for the event, r which required much of his time, and he was active in the finance work as r well. Miss Ethel Jones did a good job its secretary. E. J. Buss of the Buss- Page Motor Sales, was chairman of the parade, which excelled anything of its kind ever attempted in McHenry, George Johnson of the Alexander Lurpbcr company was the competent chairman of McHenry. Day; Ray Mc- Gee. McHenry postmaster, was in charge of the program for home-coming day and C. H. Duker, superintendent of schools, handled ths work cf the pageant in his usual efficient style and Peter M. Justen did a good job . in decorating the business sections for v the big event. Other chairmen who co-operated in Centennial work were Mrs. Janies Perkins, old settlers' picnic and barbecue; Mrs.' C. W. Goodell, "ano Mrs. P. M. Justen, queen; Mrs. 1 Ted Schiessle, registration; Mrs. Robert Thompson and Mrs. H. C. Hughes, historical; Mrs. Albert Krause, antiques; Mrs. Lillian Sayler, invita- '^tkms; Mrs. J. E.

Mosher, advertising; Three-Day Affair Fiiday was McHenry day, when phu t* of interest were open to visitors } Saturday was home-coming day "with •9 the big parade, picnic and-ox barbe- . cue and old timers' program and reunion and Sunday marked the memorial services and river program. The McHenry band played an im- ; portant part in the celebration, leading the parade, playing a concert in - the park Saturday night and playing ^ fot the pageant each evening in addition to entertaining the audience with * concert before the pageant. Tbe "Pioneer" train remained over . tfce weekend and gave the youngsters . » ride. Although local residents put forth •very effort to make the celebration C a success it was the wonderful re- !-- spouse of the old settlers and former residents in coming to McHenry to take part"' in the reunion that really put the event over in perfect shape. Old frierds of various ages returned , amJ recaUed the days when they were at TWO YOUNG MEN LAND IN JAIL AFTER HOLDUP CENTENNIAL ATTRACTS UNDESIRABLES It seems to be a rule of life that compels us to take the "bitter with the sweet" and the rule held good in McHenry during the Centennial, although no serious consequences resulted. Any affair that attracts an attendance of hundreds- and thousands of people also brings a few.undesirables who attempt to profit by robberies, hold-ups and other similar unfair means. This proved to be the case in McHenry over the weekend when several robberies and attempted robberies, were reported to the authorities, although nothing of a serious nature was accomplished. About 5fo'clock Sunday morning there was a "stick-ujj" in McHenry near the inter-section of Route 20 and Riverside Drive. Two Chicago youths, Robert Witt. 20 years old. 3414 N. Seeley avenue, and Arthur Olson, 21 years old, 3030 N. Rutherford avenue, Chicago, who have been living at McColldm lake, held up Elvin J. Schmit* of Sharon. Wis., soon | after he drove into McHenry Sunday morning. According to the story told to local authorities by Schmitz, the boys followed him here from Lily Lake and shortly after he had crossed the bridge they crowded his car to the curb near the Riverside hotel. They did not attempt the robbery then, but persuaded Schmitz to visit ja tavern with them. After a few • drinks tliey returned to the car and (while one engaged him in a fight the j other tried to get away with his autoj mobile. | Schmitz knocked one of the felloe s out and managed to pull the emergen- , ck brake on his car as the other robr I ber started to drive it away. He was robbed of $35, however. | The boys, who had left their car in the driveway at the Standard Oil j station, escaped through an alley near j Kent and Company's real estate of - i iice and although the police searched I for them they could not be found. Officer Wirtz took their car. however, and checked up on the license number and contents of the car, finding a coat, hat, sweater, guitar and necktie. Report Their Car Stolen About noon Sunday the two boys came to the city hall and told Wirtz that their car had been stolen and ask- »ed him to help them find it. The ofificer inquired about the contents of (the car, and license number leading I the boys to think he intended to keep j them, but after gaining the informa- I tion needed he placed them under ar- I rest and they were taken to the county I jail at W oodstock, where they were I held on charges 6f larceny, j Arraigned before W. S. Battern, justice of the peace at Woodstock, on Monday morning their bond was set at $1,000 each and the hearings were continued for ten days. The job was the first one commit.- ted by the young men and Witt's mother from McCollum lake pleaded with Officer Wirtz for leniency. On Tuesday morning the youths were released without prosecution, the case being dismissed because of lack of sufficient evidence. Burglars Enter Home. . Private homes were also entered, the home of Mr. an4 Mrs. Jacob Schaefer being entered Saturday nieht. The loot consisted of a watch, a wedding ring, a fountain pen and other articles of jewelry. The burglars overlooked $50 in cash which was' hidden, in the house. * Hie robbers • entered the home in the evening during the absence of the family and when Mr. and Mrs. Schaefer returned they found the back door open and the interior topsy turvy.. Everything had been ransacked, bureau drawers were out and their contents strewn about, the dining room being the only place not disturbed. The refrigerator had been raided, also, ami food set onto the table as SEND GREETINGS " \ ?% BY WIRE AND MAIL BOOKLETS ANIHBADGES • > FIND A READY SALE While many old timers and forl^pr residents were here in person: to joy the Centennial celebration over the weekend there were also many who were unable tb be present.
