A freak storm, combining heavy rainfall and sharp electricity, swept over McHenry Sunday^ afternoon, while nearby localities received no rain at all. Places as hear as JohnsbUrg ahd Spring Grove did not feel the shower, Woodstock reported only a moderate rain, and Rockford and Wau^ kegan felt very little of the storm. At the height of the storm a man was killed by lightning at Griswold Lake jand a 4arm building, struck by lightning, was burned on the J B. Kelter farm near fcHenry ahd bathers seeking refuge under a tree on a Chicago beach were burned and shocked' when lightning struck the tree. ' Henry S. Rice of Elgin saw lightning strike a power wire near McHenry, creating a ball of blue flame that flashed along the wires in a spectacular display. The wind during the storm Mew down a willow tree and bent the flajf pole at the McHenry Country Club and various trees throughout this vicinity were struck. APPROVE 10,000 Provisiotis for construction of a new secondary road system in Illinois with federal co-operation went into effect last week as Governor Horner disposed of ' another hatch of bills passed by the Sixtieth General As* sembly. K& It would be in addition to state bond issue and federal aid roads. Limited to 10,000 miles the new system would embrace farm-to-market, mine to market and rural mail delivery roads, public school bus routes and other highways of community value. Whether McHenry county will share in this program remains to be found out. AtL present the county in general is anxiously waiting the completion of Route 47 between Woodstock and Huntleyr Work on pouring cement on this road has just about been completed. •• ' The department of conservation's new game code, boosting hunting and fishing license fees and setting up new restrictions also becamfe law with the governor's signature. After January. 1, residential hunting licenses will cost $1.50 instead of $1, and fishing licenses 75 cents instead of 50 cents. The code sets up uniform state season on rabbits, | received. CHICKEN DINNIE IN THE The first of the summer churctt picnics will take place this Saturday and Sunday, July 17 and 18, at St. John's parish, Johnsburg, where there will be two days and nights of entertainment for old and young. The picnic will be held in the church grove, where there will be music, attractions and refreshments for all. On Sunday a chicken dinner will be served by the ladies of the parish in the church hall. Serving will commence at 12 o'clock, daylight saving time, and continue until all are served. Delicious milk fed rock broilers, with all the other good things, will make a dinner fit for a king and the ladies are preparing for a big crowd, as urnial.
