Anything further might seem mere repetition or adulation yet We all want those in.McHenry through whose serious effort and hard work this success was attained, and particularly Frank Bennett, whose many remarkable letters of the intimate recollections of the people and times here of forty artti fifty years ago were the precessors and probably starter for, the, «elebration, to Understand our. pleasure and appreciation! ' Certainly McHenry .hae had no Old Timers' ^meeting, political affair or celebratiori of- any kind that would ever approximate our anniversary' of this year. It has been "suggested, by Asahel Stevens that we have an annual meeting of old timers.; This:.\vould seem a worthy thirig. to; do, although we eould not expect at all such an elaborate production as this one. A "get together" and such other attractions as the exigiencies might 'Warrant would be sufficient. Old timers would enjoy visiting together More than anything else. » The one part of the celeration that created the most surprise was undoubtedly the exhibition of antiques, old pictures and documents. Expressions of astpnishment were often heard and many visited the display, not once or twice only, but several times and would gladly have spent more time there had opportunity' permitted. May I propose that we,have a permanent exhibition of the general nature of the one this year, and th^t we plan to start it on the date next year of the second meeting of the Old Timers ? Let us start a local museum sponsored particularly by . the resident's, and former residents" of the township of McHenry and featuring such items as were exhibited this year and let us start it with the intention that it be permanent. It can be done if a goodly number show sufficient interest, and it is worth while, decidedly. ' Assuredly those who attended this year will agree ta that. There can be little doubt, also, that people would gladly donate to a pennanent museum enough of the l'ight kind of articles to make it a place of great interest, information and education. What is now scattered in many homes will, in a few years, be largely I dissipated and lost' unless collected and property kept. People generally appreciate that and also that their/keepsakes, however valuable, "fire^ safer ar.d better looked after in a museum i than in their own homes. | It may be stated in opposition that other cities, except larger ones, and' other townships and counties do not j have them and therefore why should j we? The very argument for us to j have one. If we see the need and the | usefulness of it and our ability to get j one, and I think we do, why concern ourselves with whaUothers do or fail j to do ? • The question of what board would handle it and the modus operandi need not especially concern us now. The assistance of the high school board would be almust essential at least for some time. * .Those on the board approached have expressed a willingness to consider the subject. The library board would seem to be the natural ones to operate it eventually. Our duty now would be to create a sentiment for it that would | warrant action by one; or both of those boards. ' | Let us have expressions on the sub~j ject from different ones, including especially the editor of The Plaindealer. If favorable we can then go before j the high school board with evidence < of an .interest that we hope will justify t^ir co^operatioifc '3.

BITTEN BY DOG Little Donald Phalin, 3-year-old son of Mrf and Mrs. Thomas Phalin, is recovering nicely from his recent injury when he wa» bitten by a dog belonging to Fred Gilly, who resides in the north «nd of town. The little fellow is receiving a series of serum injections as a rabies prevention. The dog is being kept locked up under observation. ^ McHenry, Sept. 21, 1936. WHO'S AFRAID? Suppose we allow the Old Timers and days of yesteryears a rest and talk about ourselves a bit. The greatest inheritanqp of man is FEARi Who's afr&ld? I am, and you are. As a baby, or a child, we were afraid, unless we sensed the presence of the family. • , A fearless person does not and prob-. ably neved did exist. We carry it through our lives from the cradle to the grave." The little red schoolhouse and later, more liberal education .eliminated fear of ghosts, witches, evil eyes, "poisonous night air," etc. . , It was a great advance but still we are afraid. It undermines our 'health, causes great unhappiness and spoils many lives that otherwise would b6 joyous.. We should all take time off, as we need it, to analyze xmrselyes arid put aside our greatest enemy, as much as common sense will allow. • Some years ago an experiment Was performed in Europe, upon a condemned criminal. The idea was to influence him by suggestion. ; They t<jld him that in the interests of science he was to be .bled to death by severing an artery. They strapped him down and scratched his wrist, just enough to hurt him, then they ran warm water over the scratch and with an apparatus squirted" water in jerks into a vessel. All the time he heard them comment upon the gruesome ordeal. ' * . The man weht int<*. a number of faints and restoratives had to be quickly administered to save his life and he was very ill for days. His( wrjst had meerly been scratched and there had been no loss of blood. Get i thfe idea in our Own lives? Fear. j One time a woman had the obses-| sion, upon repeated occasions, that she i was about to die and" would take to ; her bed. The children, scared, would hastily send for the father and after. a heart-rending scene the good woman would gasp her way back to life. j Upon one occasion she said tq her | husband, "John, I am dying and I want j you to proriiise me something. Moth-i er and you never see each other with-| out quarelling. I want you to prom-j ise me that you Will ride with mother in the funeral and that you won't | f.ght with her. Promise me." "Well,; I will," says $<ShTri, but it will spoil my | whole day." ' ] There were no more sijch bedside J scenes and the good woman's new fear i was that her husband woyld be glad ; if she would die. r ° * j Most of our fears and. jealousies are' just selfish fancies, " j BUT, these is a real fear that has ( a sound foundation and that is that j our big and loved c o u n t r y is l i k e a f a t j boy sitting on a fence. Perched high, r he reads about the Civil War in! Spain. Europe !%rmed to the teeth," ready to fight at a moments notice upon the decision of a crazed leadership. Why are not the pick of our C.C.C. camp boys trained to be alviators ? 50,000 of them. A training of a year is little enough to make an experienced pilot. A soldier caniiot become efficient .unless by intensive training. . A girl started correspondence, while in school five years ago, with a German boy Chemnitz, Germany. Hie has been in training for over a year. He knows discipline, knows how to fight; how to shoot, how to kill. Yet, his pictures and those of his comrades show them all to be lollicking, hard as nails, young men. Boys you would like. Yet, wwe go about our daily life thinking Europe is no concern of ours. ' j No man, no matter how crazed, would dare to insult or slap old Jack Dempsey or Joe L o u i s , but the f a t boy on the fence ? What a fi.ne helpless target. We do not, as a people, select our presidents. We think we do, but we only have several choices. But, we do select our senators and congressmen, who are the personrie$ of our law making House and Senate. "FEAR," of course, we are afraid .and good reason. We will have tp fight and we had better go into training. Areo-planes? Yes, thousands of them. FRANK- RF.NNETT. N. U. S. J.
